If I may take a moment to get on my soapbox and vent a little disgust for the simple waste of money these celebrities go through when they get married and divorced, married and divorced over and over.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are reportedly going their separate ways after weeks of speculation that their fledgling marriage was already in trouble after mere weeks of marital status.  Of course, with the type of media scrutiny these Kardashian girls willingly under go, I don’t know how any of them could ever attempt any sort of normal relationship until it all blows over – which it will.

Their wedding cost a stunning 10 million dollars. What a total waste of money when there are people in this world just scraping by. Couldn’t they at least give it a whirl in Vegas?  Sheesh.

Apparently Kim has hired a powerful attorney so she doesn’t have to pay him too much or anything at all in spousal support. This is the second marriage for her and the first for him. He was five years her junior.

I don’t know much about their relationship nor do I care to.  I just have to wonder why celebrities even try marriage sometimes.  It seems like you should have a clue whether something is going to endure or not if it only lasts mere months after the marriage starts.

So, another Hollywood divorce to report on. Are you shocked?  I’m not.

It’s a pastime to talk about the latest gossip in the entertainment world, let’s face it.  We always want to gossip about who’s getting divorced, who’s moving in together ( apparently Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston are now), who’s hooking up, who’s going to rehab, and who is cheating on their spouse or is having some sort of mental breakdown.

Not that Tinsel Town doesn’t give us tons of stuff to work with. These spoiled, rich stars certainly don’t know how to stay married or make a relationship work. They’re pretty much so self absorbed from living in a place of self worship for so long (Hollywood), that they’ve lost touch with reality.

Sure, there are your occasional exceptions to the rule like Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, or Paul Newman and his wife Joanne Woodward (who lost him a little while ago unfortunately to cancer).  But they are the few and far between.

I think that we like to read about their failures and exploits because it probably makes us feel good about our kinda boring lives in some weird way. At least that’s how I view it. Why else would we get a peculiar thrill out of reading about their failures, their problems and their imperfections?

Maybe we feel deep down that these rich stars do eventually pay a price for all their wealth and worship. Maybe it makes us feel better about not having so much money you can pretty much buy anything you want and will never want to anything again.

All I know is that I want the news to get back to being real news. I don’t want to read about the Kardashian wedding or the other sisters and their relationships. I don’t want to hear about who’s shacking up with who – unless I open a gossip mag or go to a gossip site!

However, her husband, the talented and handsome Michael Douglas, had just gone through cancer and suddenly her whole life was put into question. Her family, her future, and her beloved hubby’s life.  But that may have only been part of the equation. The actress recently came forward to the media and admitted that she has seeked treatment for bipolarism.

Many people suffer from this disease, which has people going through somewhat manic phases of up and down moods. There are different types of bipolarism, and Catherine does not have the most severe form, but it was bad enough to make her seek treatment.

And her coming forward with all her wealth, beauty and stardom, is very brave since it has sort of demystified it for other people and made it not such a taboo subject to talk about or admit to.

I really think this woman is brave and very giving by coming forward with this.  Now I not only think she’s a  beautiful and talented actress, but also genuine and down to earth, which I must admit I never thought of her as before.

But the talented actress (although I skewered the second season of True Blood, I couldn’t stand it for the most part, not because of her but because of the terrible writing) decided that enough was enough and she thought that if she could come out and show people it was ok to be honest, she would help those that felt like they were being censored.

It still surprises me that people feel ashamed to come out in this day and age, but certainly there is still a lot of anti gay and bisexual sentiment that labels you as something you really aren’t even in other facets of your life.  The group she came out for, their goal is to end those false perceptions and help people who have different sexual taste than the average hetero male of female be free to state that, eventually without fear of retaliation or false impressions of their talent, work ethic, and morals.

Another reason why some may be surprised is that she is happily dating, and engage to marry, her costar that many of the ladies find attractive Stephen Moyer, who plays her love interest, the vampire Bill, in True Blood, which is based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels, about a character that Anna plays in the series.

I really hope that True  Blood gets back on track when it comes back on HBO in the fall. I’ll be bummed if not. It started off as promising and different, and the characters all just seemed to implode and the plots seemed to take ridiculous and totally uninteresting twists in the second season. It became almost an obligation to watch whereas before in the first season I looked forward to it every week, like I did to “Lost”.

As a matter of fact, James looked like he was choked up just days ago when Sandra accepted the best actress award for her movie The Blindside, which is based on a true story.

However, as a true shock, this morning there were reports that the marriage may be on the rocks, at least as of now, because a tattoo model named Michelle McGee.  I would have thought this may have just been someone asking for attention because of the impression I had of their marriage being solid, but there is even more question and suspicion since Sandra abruptly announced she would be missing her London premier of the Blindside.

This drew even more speculation that what seemed like a common tabloid fantasy may have been based in truth.  All I can say is, I hope the public gives them time to sort out this very private matter on their own. And Jesse, seriously, what the hell were you thinking?  You’ve got a gorgeous, talented, intelligent, funny and down to earth wife who is very famous and still has her head on straight.  Get your head out of your ass man!

Heath’s untimely death this week was a tragic loss and shocking event for the public, and no doubt heart wrenching and numbing experience for his loved ones.  I think that his death has really struck a cord with the American public because he is an actor that was taken off this earth in the prime of his life, when it looked as though he had nailed another role and would most likely receive recognition and undying respect from Hollywood, and it seemed he was also at an excellent place in his personal life, with a beautiful young daughter whom he reportedly doted on.

As for the roles I’ve seen Heath in, he has never been anything short of an amazing actor, and I admired the fact that he seemed to keep himself and his family out of the tabloids, instead opting for a low key life in Brooklyn. 

My prayers go out to his family. 

The lawyer is asking for about $150 thousand dollars in restitution and claims that she breached a contract she signed with him.  Her argument is that she signed the contract when she was still a minor, just 16 years old, and that should negate the contract since she in essence was not of age to enter into a legally binding contract like that. 

We’ll probably hear more about this, but it’s looking like Vaness might have the upper hand.  You just never know what kind of loopholes there might be in the legal system and the laws though, and the guy who’s suing her is an attorney so we can assume that he thinks he has a good case or he wouldn’t have brought the suit against the rising star in the first place. 

My boyfriend sure does love this trend of comic book movies.  He’s an avid comic reader, and he also collects original comic art, so for him this era of film making is practically a dream come true.  Mcguire has somehow managed to escape the throngs of paparazzi that so many other stars of his caliber have to deal with, and yet he seems so normal, with a fiance and a baby, both of whom you barely ever see.

McGuire has said in interviews that he refuses to discuss his personal life, and that anything about his movies he’s trying to promote is fair game, but his private life is off limits.  And that’s how celebrity privacy is achieved.  Voila.  Paris Hilton should learn from Tobey McGuire.  Oh wait, she loves all the attention, forget it.

Tobey reportedly hasn’t yet signed on for another Spider Man movie after this summer’s Spider Man 3, and he hasn’t really let on whether he intends to or not.  He has said he likes to play diverse characters though, so maybe this is it for him.  I’m sure he’ll find success in whatever movies he acts in, because he truly is a gifted actor with great diversity. 

This has all been an ongoing saga, with four men claiming to be little Dannilynn’s father.  I’ve never seen so many claim to be a baby’s father – isn’t it usually the other way around, where all potential fathers are running for the hills?  Makes one wonder what these guys intentions are for the baby – do they just want to get their hands on Anna Nicole’s money?  Anna cannot even get peace in death it seems, and her name will still be making headlines for months to come in what promises to be a long, drawn out battle for whose the baby’s father, which is just sad, very sad.

The latest guy to come forward is Anna Nicole’s bodyguard, who claims the two had a torrid affair for the past two years (while she was also supposedly with Larry Birkhead, and Zsa Zsa Gabor’s hubbie, and supposedly Howard K Stern too, which not many people believe) and believes he may very well be the father of Dannilynn.  Can I just say, this is just a disgusting display?  I mean, if these men were really in it for the good of the baby, it would be a good thing, but why are they now coming out of the woodwork, now that Anna Nicole is dead and her money is up in the air?  Disgusting, revolting, and horrid. 

Well, I’m not so sure about some of those styles she wears that bare her breasts with it seems like no bra, but whatever.  Speaking of Posh Spice, it seems she may have gotten a little lip plumping done lately, seems she’s sporting an Angelina-ish pout lately.  I’m not sure I like this woman, she seems like she just can’t get enough!  Hmm…..
