 January 30, 2012, 11:40am CST (SAG Awards Recap, Berry and Aubry Custody Battle, Sex and the Bald City, and Hottie of the Week) Happy Monday my beautiful people! Hope everyone is recovering from a great, relaxing weekend. So before you get back into your weekly work routine, grab your coffee and join us for your dose of gossip.
SAG Awards…Brief Recap
Okay, the SAG Awards went on last night and they were pretty uneventful, in my opinion. Well, to be honest, I was mainly disappointed than the top 3 I was rooting for did not win. Sofia Vergara, who once again impressed in a beautiful form fitting gown, did not win her individual nomination category for Modern Family. Steve Carrell, from The Office, also didn’t win his category, and most disappointing, Demian Bichir, nominated for “A Better Life”, also lost in the Best Actor category. I hope that this doesn’t repeat itself when the Oscars come around, as I really feel he deserves this win. I’ll admit, after my favorites lost, I really wasn’t into the show. There were a lot of repeat winners, and though some of these deserved to win again, I feel others just win because it’s the standard, and they’re expected to win and these award shows are big on tradition and not fans of changes. The one surprising win that really pleased me is Viola Davis winning Best Actress for “The Help”, that was a really great movie, a very deserving win, and an emotional and inspiring acceptance speech. I recommend you look it up; you’ll have a hard time not getting teary-eyed along with her.
Custody Fight…Really a Fight?
As has been reported in the media, Halle Berry and her ex and father of her daughter, Gabriel Aubry, have not had what you would call an amicable breakup. There’s been talks of custody battles, disagreements over who gets Nahla, and if she’s allowed out of the country with either parent. Well this past week, things boiled over. Gabriel Aubry is being investigated by the LAPD for criminal battery and child endangerment after he allegedly pushed Nahla’s nanny, while she was carrying her. Needless to say, Halle was not happy and headed to court to ask the judge for full custody until the investigation is resolved. For now, Aubrey has agreed to take anger management classes, while his rep denied the charges. As if that wasn’t enough, the Dept. of Children and Family Services is recommending that the 3-year old go into counseling to deal with the situation. How scary. You better get your daughter Halle, make sure this man deals with his anger issues before he gets to take care of Nahla by himself again. Pushing women isn’t cool, Gabriel, especially when they’re carrying your daughter.
Demi Moore Addicted to…Nitrous Oxide?
As reported last week, Demi Moore was rushed to the hospital Monday due to substance abuse issues. Now, more details are being released from that scary night. It is being reported that Demi Moore was inhaling what are called “whip-its”, which is inhaling nitrous oxide, usually from things like cooking spray or whipped cream cans. Now if this sounds odd to you, it is. Whip-its are usually associated with being a cheap and quick way to get  high for teenagers who don’t have the money or the means to purchase actual drugs. Now, is this better than being addicted to cocaine? Sure. But apparently, Demi had a bad reaction after doing some whip-its, and passed out and started having convulsions, which is what prompted the 911 call. Now, as is standard practice in Hollywood, the 911 call was released, and it seems that Demi’s daughter Rumer, was also present the evening her mom was sent to the hospital, leading many to wonder if she was partying it up alongside her mother. I personally, have not listened to the 911 call, nor will I, as I feel it’s an invasion of privacy and where it my family dealing with an emergency, I wouldn’t want millions of people to be able to hear my 911 calls.
Demi is currently at a treatment facility trying to get help while her daughter Rumer was out partying last night at the SAG Awards after parties. I mean, sure, visiting hours were probably over and she couldn’t be by her mom’s side, but I would think that partying would be your last thought, when your mom’s being treated for substance abuse. I won’t judge your Rumer; I just hope you stayed away from the Reddi-Whip last night.
Keeping the Hope Alive
In news for the hopelessly romantic, such as myself, it seems that both Seal and Heidi Klum, after announcing their separation and impending divorce, are still walking around wearing their wedding rings, which is rare in Hollywood, as that’s usually how we first find out couples are divorcing, when they step out without their wedding bling. But Seal and Heidi are oddly enough, still out and about, not together, of course, but still wearing their wedding bands. Seal, who is about to launch a tour for his new album, has also talked about Heidi in a few interviews, stating how he still loves her, and that he doesn’t discard a chance for reconciliation. He’s also performing his version of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” on these television appearances. Could this be a secret message to Heidi? I hope so, because I really like these two together. But if they do stay together, many are insinuating that this was all a ploy to boost sales of Seal’s album and tour. What do you think? Publicity stunt or two people who love each other too much to let go?
Gossip Tidbits
Congrats are in order for Kristin Cavallari and the Chicago Bear’s Jay Cutler, as the couple, who recently reconciled after calling off their engagement, is expecting their first child. Friends of the couple are stating that the pregnancy was not planned (duh!) but that the two are very happy. We wish them the best!
 Cynthia Nixon, who played Miranda on “Sex and the City”, has gone bald! The 45-year old actress recently debuted a new haircut, having shaved her head completely for her latest project, in which she played a cancer patient in the Broadway show “Wit”. Definitely a new look for her. Tell me, my ladies out there, would you shave your head for a role? (See inserted photo)
NBC has just picked up a pilot for Roseanne’s new show “Downwardly Mobile”, who, as the title states, is a show focusing on an owner of a mobile home park and her family. Sounds a bit like the Roseanne show from the 90’s, I shall definitely be checking it out, as I loved that show.
Etta James passed away last week at the age of 73. The “I’d Rather Go Blind” singer was honored at her funeral by over 300 mourners who gathered at the Greater Bethany Church in California. Amongst the mourners were Rev. Al Sharpton, who gave the Eulogy, Christina Aguilera and Stevie Wonder, who performed some of Etta’s hits. President Barack Obama also sent a note in which he stated: "I know she will be sorely missed by all those who knew and loved her." May she rest in peace.
Aretha Franklin has called off her engagement to fiancé Willie Wilkerson. The couple got engaged New Year’s Day. Aretha stated they were moving too fast. It is unclear if the couple is still together.
Pat Sajak, host of “Wheel of Fortune” recently confessed that he and letter turning Queen Vanna White, would sometimes get drunk during tapings and would be so drunk that they would “have trouble recognizing the alphabet”. I will definitely be watching some old “Wheel of Fortune” episodes now. They may be more interesting after this new information.
 Hottie of the Week
This week’s Hottie is starring in a couple of movies this year. When I heard they were making a movie after “21 Jump Street”, I was less than excited. But I recently watched the trailer this weekend, and not only does it star Mr. Sexy himself, Channing Tatum, but the movie itself looks pretty funny. The movie is set to be released March 16th, and also stars Jonah Hill and Ice Cube. If that isn’t a recipe for comedy, I don’t know what is. Mr. Tatum will also be starring in the stripper-licious movies I mentioned before, Magic Mike. So we get two doses of sexiness this year, at least. Channing Tatum is married, but that doesn’t have to stop you from fantasizing. It sure doesn’t stop my sister from doing so, as she is the one who named him Mr. Sexy. So here’s your dose of hotness, hope you enjoy!
