Maksim Chmerkovskiy Definitely Not Friends With Ex-Fiance Karina Smirnoff-Despite What She May Say.
Posted on 07. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
Never one to mince words, outspoken Dancing With The Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy has revealed that he no longer likes his former fiancee — and fellow DWTS pro — Karina Smirnoff.
Well, at least he isn’t bitter…..
Maks and Karina began dating last winter, shortly after her public split from notorious womanizer Mario Lopez. After a nine-month engagement, the dancing duo called it quits in September, but have had to see each other daily on the ABC hit. The daily run-ins have been anything but pleasant for Maks, who claims that despite Karina’s declarations to the contrary, the exes are no longer friends.
“No,” Maks replied when asked whether he is still friends with Karina at the LA County Fair on Sept. 27. “She’s a lot better at hiding her feelings apparently than I am. I just need to drop the sad person act and move on.”
“I hate the situation with Karina because it’s really gotten blown out of proportion,” Maks tells Life & Style. “It’s done. It’s over with.”

“The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” Kandi Burruss Releases Statement Following Death Of Her Ex-Fiance Ashley ‘A.J.’ Jewell
Posted on 05. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kandi Burruss is “heavy with grief” after the weekend beating death of her former fiance, Ashley “A.J.” Jewell, outside a local strip club.
On Friday night, Jewell, 34, died from “massive head injuries” sustained during a fight, which took place in the parking lot of a strip club he co-owned, The Associated Press reports.
“I am devastated by the loss of A.J.,” she said in a statement releassed Sunday. “His death comes on the heels of the death of my beloved Uncle Ralph and with both of them gone, my heart is heavy with grief.”
Kandi and A.J. split in August. Nonetheless, the loss came as a shock for the Grammy-winning songwriter, who spoke to A.J. just hours before his death.
“I had spoken to AJ two hours before I got the call that he was in the hospital,” she said. “Never in a thousand years did I think it was going to be the last time I heard his voice. He was taken way too soon. There are so many things that I should have said to him, wanted to say to him… But now it’s too late. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of my family and friends — and that means my twitter and facebook friends as well — for the beautiful words of encouragement, prayers, and the sweet condolences. I make it through these difficult days because of you.”
The 33-year-old former Xscape singer-turned-reality-star is urging fans to recognize their loved ones while they still can.
“I know this is cliche but I urge everyone to treat each day as if it’s your last and tell that special someone you love them today,” Kandi said. “Don’t wait. It may be too late. Please pray for his children, his family and Riley – they too are grieving the loss of an incredible man, son, brother and father. I wish you all had gotten to know the AJ we all knew and loved.”
The man charged with the voluntary manslaughter of A.J. is still receiving medical attention at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. Police refuse to release any other information on the mans condition other than as soon as he is released he will be taken to Fulton County Correctional Facility.
It is being reported that the two men worked together at the stip club, Body Tap. However, it is unclear what position each man held- some reports have both men listed as managers while another has A.J. listed as co-owner. The cause for their brawl is still unknown.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Spotted Out Together Saturday Night In Canada
Posted on 04. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
Sneaking out for an evening on the town, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were side by side in Vancouver, Canada on Saturday night (October 3).
The “Twilight” co-stars ended up grabbing a bite to eat at Pinky’s Steakhouse before being spotted by paparazzi as they headed back to their hotel.
Currently up north finishing up the filming of “Eclipse,” Kristen recently spoke with press about the immense popularity of the “Twilight” saga.
She tells, “I have a really strong feeling that this is going to go away, that this is the most intense it’s going to get – and could get – and that it’s fleeting. I’d like to take more walks after work, instead of having to come back to my hotel room and not leave.”
The Bella Swan beauty adds, “Some nights, I think, ‘You know what? I don’t care. I’m just going to do what I want to do.’ Then the next day I think, ‘Ugh. Now everyone thinks I’m going out to get the attention.’ But it’s like, ‘No, I actually, for a second, thought that maybe I could be like a normal person.’ ”

Hayden Panettiere Pitched Lesbian Story For ‘Heroes’
Posted on 03. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
It was pint-sized star Hayden Panettiere who suggested her Heroes character, cheerleader Claire Bennett, should take a walk on the wild side with another woman on the hit sci-fi series this season.
Claire will fall for her college roommate, ‘Gretchen’ played by Madeleine Zima, in an upcoming plot-line and Hayden claims it was she who came up with the sapphic story.
“I kinda threw it out there… They (writers) put you in relationships and I was like, ‘Can I just be with a girl or something…? Let’s do that.’ So they took it and ran with it. She’s a great girl… and we have a blast.”

Patrick Swayze Writes About Emotional Jennifer Grey During Filming Of “Dirty Dancing”
Posted on 24. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey danced each other’s hearts in the 1987 cult classic Dirty Dancing, but the late actor definitely didn’t have the time of his life on the set of the film that made him famous.
On the pages of his memoir The Time of My Life — available Tues., Sept. 29 — Patrick reveals that the co-stars didn’t get along quite so well when the cameras weren’t rolling.
“We did have a few moments of friction when we were tired or after a long day of shooting. [Grey] seemed particularly emotional, sometimes bursting into tears if someone criticized her,” Swayze says of Grey’s needling mood swings. “Other times, she slipped into silly moods, forcing us to do scenes over and over again when she’d start laughing.”
“I was on overdrive for the whole shoot – staying up all night to do rewrites, squeezing in dance rehearsals, shooting various scenes – and was exhausted a lot of the time,” he recalls. “I didn’t have a whole lot of patience for doing multiple retakes…”
Nonetheless, Jennifer managed to impress Patrick with her performance. He credited her with doing “truly phenomenal job,” adding that “in many ways, she made the movie.”
Swayze went from Broadway dancer to Hollywood star in box-office hits like Dirty Dancing and Ghost. He died on September 14 after a nearly two year battle with pancreatic cancer.

Whoopi Goldberg Slams Suzanne Somers Over Her Statements “Chemo Killed Patrick Swayze”
Posted on 24. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
Whoopi Goldberg is firing back at Three’s Company star Suzanne Somers for comments the actress made alleging the chemotherapy Patrick Swayze used to treat his pancreatic cancer ultimately killed him.
The Dirty Dancing star died last week after a nearly two year battle with the disease. Shortly after, Somers came under fire for comments she made about Swayze in an interview with Toronto’s National Post.
“They took this beautiful man and they basically put poison in him,” Somers told National Post columnist Shinan Govani. “Why couldn’t they have built him up nutritionally and gotten rid of the toxins in his body?”
Somers – who used holistic methods to treat her breast cancer in 2001 – responded to incident on her website Monday.
“In a casual conversation at a private party (with someone who never identified himself as a reporter) at the Toronto Film Festival last week, I was asked about this beloved actor. It was never my intention to make an official statement about his passing,” Suzanne wrote. “I was not informed or aware I was being interviewed. I would never have been so insensitive as to offer a public statement so close to his untimely passing. I sincerely apologize if my comment has caused any additional pain to his family during this difficult time. I send my deepest condolences for their loss.”
The public rebuttal hasn’t stopped Whoopi from taking Suzanne to task over her remarks.
“In case she doesn’t know, Patrick did everything and went everywhere to try and stay healthy as long as he could,” The View co-host said of her Ghost co-star on Wednesday. “That he’s been gone a week and this statement came out is bad timing and bad taste and Suzanne, you know better,” Whoopi continued. “And I’m not sure that’s not what you meant to do, but you should have thought about it”

Suzanne Somers Claims, “Chemotherapy Killed Patrick Swayze”
Posted on 21. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
Yes, you read the post title correctly- Suzanne Somers is claiming that because Patrick Swayze underwent chemotherapy to fight off his Pancreatic cancer-the star is now deceased.
The former Three’s Company star gave her opinion on the Ghost star’s death while speaking at a party for Tom Ford’s movie, A Single Man, at the Toronto Film Festival last Thursday. In a new interview with Toronto National Post columnist Shinan Govani , Suzanne — who has a book coming out on cancer — said:
“They took this beautiful man and they basically put poison in him. Why couldn’t they have built him up nutritionally and gotten rid of the toxins in his body?”
In 2001, the Thighmaster frontwoman revealed she was battling breast cancer. After having surgery to remove the lump followed by radiation treatment, she refused chemotherapy against the advice of her doctors in favor of alternative treatment.
“I hate to be this controversial,” she continued. “I’m a singer-dancer-comedienne. But we have an epidemic going on, and I have to say it.”
I do believe it is in very poor taste to make comments like this especially within days of the actors death. I understand her stance on cancer and her book that is coming out will better shed light on that for everyone-but to speak out on Patrick’s courageous fight against pancreatic cancer was off-putting to say it nicely.
Everybody knows that getting diagnosed with pancreatic cancer is literally a death sentence- only 5% of those diagnosed are still alive within two years of their diagnosis.

Shakira Talks About Trying To Be A Vegetarian
Posted on 22. Jul, 2009 by CSS.
The “Hips Don’t Lie” hitmaker tried to give up eating meat after she was given four birds to look after, but she soon gave into her cravings for meat.
The singer says: “I was living in Spain on a farm, and someone gave me four chickens.”
“I named them and they became very close to me. And then I couldn’t eat them. I was like, ‘OK, if I cannot eat these chickens because they actually have names and they are my friends, I am not going to be able to eat any chicken again.’ So I became a vegetarian.”
Ultimately, Shakira’s love of meat overpowered her. She is a carnivore again, however, she swore never to kill her pets for food.
“I lasted for one month. I tried, I really tried. Yeah, I gave it a go, but I did not eat those chickens. I promise those chickens survived.”

“Now I’ve got this moniker that I’m the foot-in-the-mouth gal, and I keep thinking, In what way? Because I said something you don’t agree with? Because I said something you don’t like? I’m just telling you my opinion. I hate the idea that I can’t be honest about how I feel about things because it’s going to piss somebody off who feels differently. That seems preposterous to me,” Katherine Heigl, In Style Magazine, August 2009
