 January 23, 2012, 4:20pm CST (Puff Puff Give Rihanna, Eva Longoria, Splitsville for Heidi and Seal, Gossip Tidbits and Hottie of the Week) Buenos Tardes, beautiful people, Happy Monday! I bet you’re all thrilled to be back at work on this wonderfully dreary day. At least it’s not freezing outside. I don’t know about you, but I stayed up late watching some football and now I’m depending on this coffee to get me through the day. And of course, some chisme. So let’s begin.
Rihanna – Pot Smoker?
When recent photos of the platinum-selling artist Rihanna hit the web, showing the singer smoking what seems to be an illegal substance, many people were surprised. Not me. Anyone who follows Rihanna on Twitter (as I do) knows the girl is always talking about getting high, and I don’t mean on the charts, if you catch my drifts.
Check out some of her recent tweets:
 I mean, it’s obvious, right? I’m not condoning recreational drug use, just stating that people shouldn’t really be surprised, she’s not trying to hide it. Also, she has stated in a few interviews that she doesn’t consider herself a role model and little girls should not look up to her. Unfortunately, when you’re in the spotlight, it’s not your choice to make whether young people look up to you or not, it just happens. So what do you think? Should Rhianna be more careful about publicizing her illegal drug use, or should the media just leave her alone to live her life?
One thing that does bother me regarding Rihanna are rumors that she may be reuniting with her ex, Chris Brown. The pair has sent subliminal tweets to each other, and were seen at the same club this past weekend, though they arrived and left separately. Here’s where the problem lies: Not only is Chris Brown, as we all know, the man who sent her to the hospital after beating her during an argument, but he currently has a girlfriend, one who’s face he got tattooed on his body. It’s not cool to hook up with your ex if he has a significant other, Ri-Ri. Besides, why would you even want him back? People change and all, but if he’s willing to cheat WITH you, he will be willing to cheat ON you.
Eva Longoria: When Good People Make Bad Decisions
I have always been very against couples getting tattoos for each other. Whether it’s a name, a symbol, etc. It just never ends well. And then you’re stuck with a constant reminder of your ex. I could’ve told Eva Longoria that she shouldn’t get the word “nine” tattooed on the back of her neck; it’s just not a good idea. She got the tattoo, for her ex-husband, Tony Parker, who plays for the San Antonio Spurs, who wears the number 9 on his jersey. It’s a sweet gesture, of course, but now here is Eva, divorced from her cheating spouse, on to her next relationship with Penelope Cruz’ hot brother, Eduardo, and now she’s going to have to go through the painful procedure of getting her tattoo removed. Eduardo Cruz also has a few tattoos of his own, so here’s hoping Eva learns her lesson and doesn’t get one for him as well.
Oh, Marc
Speaking of tattoos, Marc Anthony and his new lady friend got matching tattoos last week. Great idea, right? Marc also got a Statue of Liberty tattoo on his wrist, in tribute to 24-year old Shannon De Lima, as that is his nickname for her. Why that nickname, you ask? Well because she “freed” him from his past. Ouch! Was that a jab at Jennifer Lopez? I bet J.Lo’s loving that. Marc used to have a “Jennifer” tattoo on his wrist, I guess someone didn’t learn his lesson.
Heidi & Seal: The End of an Era
 This next piece of news genuinely makes me sad. It is rumored that Heidi Klum will file from divorce from Seal this week. Her rep. confirmed that the couple are separated, but it seems divorce is just around the corner. Now here is a Hollywood couple that I thought would make it. They just seemed so in love and right for each other. I loved that they renewed their wedding vows every year (Hey, if you’ve got the money for it, why not?). I also loved how they would go all out for Halloween with their extravagant parties and costumes.
It is rumored that Heidi is filing for divorce because she can no longer handle Seal’s temper. He apparently has anger issues and that combined with Heidi’s busy career have pulled the couple in separate directions. The couple wed in 2005 and have 3 biological children together, as well as Heidi’s daughter from a previous relationship, who Seal adopted. The couple is currently still living together, while they decide how to split their assets. I hope this is an amicable divorce, as I think they’re both good people, but we shall see how this plays out.
Trouble in Paradis?
No, that’s not a typo, it seems Vanessa Paradis and partner Johnny Depp are calling it quits on their 14 year relationship. The couple has 2 children and hasn’t been seen in public together in over a year.
I know many ladies out there will be thrilled to hear that Johnny Depp is back on the market, but I’m never one glad to hear about relationships ending, especially when children are involved. I truly hope these are just rumors and the couple can work things out.
Foot in Mouth
Mark Wahlberg put his foot in his mouth recently during an interview, when he said that he would’ve handled 9/11 differently. He gave the following quote: "If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry.'"
Needless to say, family of 9/11 victims were hurt and offended that Wahlberg was implying that their relatives didn’t do enough to fight against the terrorists. Shortly after, Wahlberg apologized for his comments saying: "To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with," adding, "I deeply apologize to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive, it was certainly not my intention." Sometimes people are cute until they open their mouth. Don’t be one of those people, Mark.
Missing SATC?
If you, like me, are missing Sex and the City, then you’re in luck. The CW has given the green light to a pilot of The Carrie Diaries, a show based on a young Carrie Bradshaw. The story will take place in the 1980’s and will follow Carrie exploring high school and Manhattan. It’s still not confirmed whether the other girls, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda will make an appearance, as according to SATC, they met later on in life, but I hope they do. I would love to see a young Samantha being a man-eater in high school.
Vanessa Scores Big
Vanessa Bryant, Kobe’s soon to be ex-wife, is on the winning end of their divorce settlement. Vanessa scored $75 million, as well as the couple’s three mansions in the Newport Beach area, one of those being where her mother currently lives. Many people are criticizing the fact that Vanessa is entitled to half of Kobe’s earnings, claiming she didn’t have to work for them. But being in a relationship with a celebrity athlete that’s constantly cheating on you, as well as raising your children together, sounds like a full-time job to me. One I am not interested in, thank you very much. So more power to her for putting up with it as long as she did. You can call her a gold digger if you want, but she had to put up with 10 years of infidelity and you can’t judge her until you’ve been in her shoes.
Vanessa is also reportedly going to be offered a role in VH1’s Basketball Wives: L.A. I hope she does not accept. I have watched the Miami version of the show and none of the ladies come out looking good in it. It’s a lot of childish fighting, screaming, talking about people behind their backs, etc. That’s not to say I don’t love the show. Trashy reality TV is my thing, what can I say? But I hope Vanessa plays it classier than that.
Gossip Tidbits
Jessica Simpson is creating a maternity line, to be added to her Jessica Simpson Collection. She made the announcement at a Teen Choice Awards press conference. She may not be dropping another album anytime soon, but the girl works hard and earns her money in other business ventures. Good for her, I’m sure her maternity line will be a success.
Jersey Shore’s Snooki, the girl everyone loves to hate, recently tweeted a picture of herself without make-up and surprisingly enough, she looks cute. I think she looks way better without the orange tan, what do you think?
Food Network star Paula Deen, famous for her love of butter, recently confessed to suffering from type 2 diabetes. She had been diagnosed 3 years ago and is finally coming clean, apparently after signing a big endorsement deal with a pharmaceutical company. Waiting until you sign a deal to announce your diagnosis? Sounds suspicious to me.
Our condolences to friends and family of Sarah Burke, freestyle skiing legend and 4 time X Games gold medal winner, who passed away from injuries received during a skiing accident.
DMX has confirmed that the Ruff Ryders are getting back together. Everyone is on board; they are just waiting for Eve and The L.O.X. to sign on. I am excited, I happened to be a fan back in the day, and music today leaves much to be desired, in my opinion. Tell me Bone Thugs-n-Harmony is coming back and my week is made!
Kevin Federline, aka Britney’s ex husband, was rushed to the hospital after his heart showed signs of distress. Kevin has been struggling with weight problems for a few years and he’s currently in Australia, shooting a weight-loss reality show, Excess Baggage.
Comedian Tracy Morgan was also rushed to the hospital recently, after falling unconscious during an awards ceremony at the Sundance Film Festival. Tracy has struggled with substance abuse problems in the past, but his rep, as well as a spokeswoman for the hospital he is at have confirmed that no drugs or alcohol were found in Tracy’s system, which is good news. It seems the comedian is suffering from exhaustion and altitude problems. Hope he gets well soon.
 Hottie of the Week
Our Hottie of the Week is also our Good Samaritan of the Week. Actress Zoe Saldaña recently witnessed a car accident, which involved an elderly woman. Seeing that the woman was hurt, Zoe immediately came to her aid, called 911, and stayed with the woman until help arrived. The woman, who was bleeding from her face, remained calm thanks to Zoe’s assistance. According to the police report, Zoe also retrieved the woman’s personal items from her vehicle. Sexy and helpful? What an awesome combination! Oh, and she looked great in Colombiana. I can’t recommend the movie, because I personally didn’t think the storyline was great, but her action scenes were very well done. So if you think she’s hot, then perhaps it’s worth a view.
There’s also rumors that Zoe has nabbed the 2nd most eligible bachelor (after Ryan Gosling, of course), Bradley Cooper. The couple are reportedly trying to keep their relationship a secret, and seeing as to how Zoe recently broke off an 11-year engagement, these two should take it slow. Only in Hollywood, can you rebound with Bradley Cooper. Nice!
