Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt break up

You know what people say. A marriage created from a broken-up one is doomed to fail. Or something like that. Okay, nobody ever said that before me, but you gotta admit that that’s what Jennifer Aniston is saying if the rumors about the supposed break-up of Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are true. If you’re in LA and see a skinny faux-blonde woman with a big nose dancing down the street doing the I-Told-You-So dance, it’s probably Jen celebrating. But I digress. After years of being together and surviving every disparaging remark thrown their way, after all the rumors, the scandals, and the near-break ups, it seems the two are officially headed for splitsville. How do I know this? Well, I read it in the Enquirer, so it must be true.

According to the rag, a source has confirmed that it is indeed “official” that the two will be separating ways. The Enquirer reports that after Angelina has finished filming her actioneer Salt, she’ll be packing up and moving the kids to Paris where she plans to recuperate from this tragedy. Or something to that effect. The news seems surprising especially since the couple were seen very sweet and, well, together when Brad’s film Inglorious Basterds premiered in Cannes last month. Supposedly, it was all an act, that the couple had already agreed to split even before Cannes. They were merely trying to prevent the story from getting out, but word got out anyway. Enquirer refuses to name their source for fear of, well, getting that person fired or worse. So right now, unless Bradgelina make an official statement, I’m inclined to believe that tabloid.

Then again, the paper isn’t exactly the most credible source of information. I don’t know what to think right now. On one hand, there have been persistent rumors about their break-up for a while so there has to be a grain of truth about this all. On the other, This is Bradgelina were talking about. The couple who went against all the odds to get together and, more importantly, stay together. Plus I don’t think there are any two more stubborn people in Hollywood, ergo they will do their best to make things work. But if they don’t, expect Brad to get a visit from Jennifer in crotchless panties sometime soon. And Ange? Well, let’s just say a horse head in her bed should be the least of her worries. Ah, Hollywood. One crazy town where crazy things happen. See a lot of those crazy things here.

Nicole Scherzinger catfighting with the other Pussycat Dolls

For months now, there has been grumblings and twitters about what has really been happening inside the super girl group The Pussycat Dolls and it’s lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. It all began when the group released their adaptation of the Oscar-winning theme song to the film Slumdog Millionaire entitled Jai Ho with the single reading “Jai Ho – Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger”. Naturally, eyebrows went up. If Nicole is part of the group, even leading it, then why did she have a “featuring” credit on the single? This prompted speculation of her leaving the band, but that pretty much died down as well. Then another single was released with the same “featuring” credit and now people were really concerned, including the other Dolls.

The whole thing erupted this past weekend when, while opening for Britney Spears‘ tour, one of the Dolls Melody Thornton screamed at the cheering crowd “Thank you for supporting me even though I’m not FEATURED!” You could practically hear crickets for a second, that’s how tense and awkward things became. Because everyone knew what she was saying – What are we, your back-up dancers? It’s true, the rest of the girls don’t even sing back-up in the new record, let alone leads in some songs. Nicole gets to do her own thing (commercial endorsements, ad campaigns, solo recording contracts) and the rest of them get nil. If I were them, I’d be pissed as well!

What is unclear though, is how much of this is actually Nicole’s personal actions. True she’s the lead singer of the group, even responsible for writing and arranging some of their songs, but word is it’s the record company that’s pretty much pushing her to the forefront. I’m starting to believe that with this recession, everybody’s doing cutbacks – even on girl group members! It’s probably one giant conspiracy, not to let Nicole break free of the group, but for the record company to dissolve the Dolls completely! My conspiracy theorist is coming out, and before I start spewing stuff about Area 51 and the Kennedy assasination, I’ll shut up now. All I know is that these five fine babes better stay together long enough for them to do a Playboy shoot or something. Or, come to think of it, they should split up, have their career’s go up in flames, and then they’d be desperate enough for Playboy! Until then, check out this site for some rather interesting pics of Nicole and other hot Hollywood celebs waiting just for you.
