Absolutely glowing…could it be? Actress Katie Holmes, or as husband Tom Cruise calls her, “Kate” looks like she is carrying baby number two. Nothing confirmed, but if pictures could talk — they might well be saying “Move over Suri, there’s a new baby coming to town.”

The couple wed in November 2006, following the April birth of Suri Cruise. Cruise has two other children with actress Nicole Kidman: teenagers Isabella and Connor.

In our gallery of February 2010 photos of Katie, she is dressed in oversized coats – perhaps in an attempt to cover up the proof.



Tiger Woods can’t say no to sex but doesn’t have a problem turning down a multi-million dollar deal.

The disgraced golfer has lost millions in endorsements since his multiple-affairs scandal captivated the world and tarnished his once-stellar reputation. Advertising giants Gatorade, AT&T, Gillette and Swiss watch-maker Tag Heuer have cancelled contracts with Woods, costing the cheating golfer enough money to fill a sand trap.

But despite the huge losses, Woods, 34, has rejected a $75 million dollar sponsorship deal with bookies Paddy Power because the deal wasn’t lucrative enough.

Paddy Power’s PR Manager Ken Robertson said: “We’re a huge international brand, with one of the biggest betting networks in the world.

“We made a very generous offer to Tiger, who is a huge brand himself, but unfortunately his management company IMG have told us the offer has been rejected.

“I must say I was shocked that such a big offer was turned down, but we’ve not given up just yet.

“We’re planning to make a bigger offer soon, in the hope of tempting Tiger to join us.”

Prior to the scandal, Woods reportedly earned about $110 million a year in endorsements — the most lucrative being a $30 million deal with Nike who remains committed to the golf icon.

Reports estimate that Woods stands to lose around $150 million in personal earnings including; $110 million in advertising income, $23 million in tournament prize money and $17 million in appearance fees.



Brett Favre was a guest on The Tonight Show Thursday, last appearing some 13 years ago. The 40-year-old Minnesota Vikings quarterback backpedaled when he was presented with a gold retirement watch by show host Jay Leno, though he was more than happy to pocket the timepiece.

Favre said, “Well Jay, it’s only been a month, and I know now that I’m just not going to say anything anytime soon, just going to kind of sit back, relax, enjoy the off-season.”

Jay managed to bring up a subject that the NFL athlete would prefer not to have discussed. When asked if the NFC Championship defeat by the New Orleans Saints still upsets him, Favre told Leno: “I think it will for a long time. Obviously had we gone to the Super Bowl that would have been icing on the cake, but it was still way better than even I could have dreamed of. I’ve told people I really believe my biggest accomplishment this year was winning over the majority of the Vikings fans. For so many years I was hated.”

Back in Minnesota, Vikings coach Brad Childress has been hounded by the media, who want to know if his star quarterback will be returning for the second year of his contract. He finally provided this soundbite last Friday: “Four weeks and change, he’s still healing up from that game. He’s kind of earned that latitude.”

Favre did let slip the fact that his family was really in L.A. for the Disney wrap of the popular Hannah Montana series. His entourage included his wife, 10-year-old daughter, mother-in-law and his family priest.



I am always nervous when I see a really good preview for a movie. From my experience – a really good preview usually means a really bad movie. So imagine what went through my head when I see Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes, Richard Gere and Don Cheadle in the preview for “Brooklyn’s Finest.” Good preview or not, this movie better be incredible. I mean these are A-List actors, clearly my expectations were high.

Just like so many in the movie, get ready to be blown away by “Brooklyn’s Finest.” Literally from beginning to end this movie is captivating. The title of the movie is really a play on words. The three main characters in the film are cops, but they are far from Brooklyn’s finest. We watch these men, sworn to protect and serve, falter under pressure. We see them do horrible things – turn a blind eye to a domestic dispute, steal, show loyalty to a well known criminal, yet somehow we understand them. We understand why.

There is a thin line between right and wrong and this movie will lead you to question how wrong something truly is if it is done by a good person and for a good reason. I was empathetic to each officer’s situation. I felt their mental anguish, their struggle and somehow it made their actions more acceptable.

The movie was done so cleverly that even though the main characters never meet, the intricate web of each individual plot seem to fit together and connect. I found this to be one of the most impressive aspects about the movie. I believe this movie will make you appreciate your situation. No matter how bad you have it, it could always be worse. At what cost? This question, prompted by the film, was burning in my mind as the credits rolled. How important is what you’re seeking? Important enough to put your family second? Important enough to lose your sanity and will to live? Important enough to lose your life? I love when movies make me analyze.

“Brooklyn’s Finest” was a well crafted, thought provoking film with phenomenal acting. Violent? Yes, absolutely, but not enough to overshadow or distract from the main message in the movie. “Brooklyn’s Finest” ranks very high on my list of must-see movies. “Brooklyn’s Finest” in theaters everywhere Friday, March 5, 2010.

I’m Danni and sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between good and bad.




Hollywood divorce is extremely common. So how is it that comedian and actress Mo’Nique has managed to stay happily married? Well, it could be her non-traditional view on marriage. While being interviewed by Barbara Walters for an upcoming Oscar special, the big and beautiful comedian explained that she allows her husband to step outside the marriage.

Mo’Nique expressed that she is extremely content in her relationship and that even if her husband Sidney Hicks strayed numerous times it would not be a “deal-breaker.” It seems like a pretty sweet deal for her husband, but does Mo’Nique also get to stray? Not a chance, she made it very clear that since the day they were married, she has never been unfaithful to her husband.

When it comes to love, celebrities often make their own rules. Didn’t Ryan Phillippe fall in love with Abbie Cornish while still married to Reese Witherspoon? Do I even need to mention Brand Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie? Hasn’t there been a rumor about Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith being swingers for years? If there is one thing that is factual, Hollywood love is filled with drama and we love hearing about it.

Mo’Nique has been nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in “Precious”. The awards show airs Sunday night, March 7, 2010 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.




Rihanna has a body that most women would do anything for. Her physique is incredible, but she definitely wasn’t born with it. Like everyone else, Rihanna has to workout to maintain. Now that beautiful body that we all know and love is at the center of drama. It seems that Rihanna has not compensated those who helped get her into killer shape.

According to personal trainer Cindy Percival, she helped the singer whip her body into shape but was never paid for her services. Percival is suing Rihanna for over $26,000. She claims she was hired by Rihanna at the rate of $1,500 a day and even traveled overseas to train her but was never paid what she was owed.

Rihanna definitely has the means to pay Cindy Percival so it’s confusing as to why she hasn’t paid up. Clearly Percival’s training worked–Rihanna always looks flawless. Percival plans on getting her money one way or another. Last week she filed her lawsuit in L.A. Superior Court. We hope she gets paid for her obvious job well done.
