Brangelina Getting Married To Squelch Rumours Of Love’s Demise

Brad and Angelina are getting married in New Orleans, Brooke Shields settled with the National Enquirer for kidnapping her mother, Mariah Carey is getting fat, Pete Doherty shot up on a commercial flight, and Denise Richards is addicted to boob jobs.

  • Friends of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie say that the couple is planning to get married in New Orleans, perhaps at the end of the summer. Pitt and Jolie have resisted getting married in the past, but feel motivated to show the world that they’re really in love and aren’t breaking up any time soon by getting hitched, a move sure to kill the relationship once and for all. [UK Mirror]

  • Gordon Ramsey got pissed at journalist Tracy Grimshaw and called her a “lesbian pig,” and now women’s groups are calling Ramsey a pig. [UK Mirror]
  • Brooke Shields has reached a settlement with the National Enquirer after reporters for the tabloid did one of the most bizarre things in history of “journalism”—-They showed up at a New Jersey nursing home that cares for Shields’ dementia-addled mother and checked her out of the facility, claiming to be “friends” of hers. [Daily News]
  • Mariah Carey is getting fat but her people claim that it’s all good because she loves food and isn’t afraid to pack on a few pounds to enhance her “curves.” In other news, Mariah Carey recently got married, a social condition that often leads to weight gain by all parties involved. [New York Post]
  • Britney Spears’ LSU football-loving dad has banned booze from backstage during her concert tour in a desperate attempt to keep her sober, but that hasn’t stopped Britney from hitting the London club scene during her time there. [Sun]
  • Pete Doherty was on a British Airways flight to Switzerland and needed a fix, so he got out of his seat in coach, marched on down to the plane’s bathroom and shot himself up. He was arrested when the plane landed. It’s possible that his little act, which we suppose gives new meaning to the term “mile high club,” may get him banned from the airline for life. [Dlisted]
  • Denise Richards has had three boob jobs so far in her life, but she doesn’t think that the kids out there should ever consider having one, because the kids are beautiful and don’t need to have boob jobs, or something. [UK Sun]
  • So Dr. Drew stated the obvious and said that Lindsay Lohan is a trainwreck who will more than likely wind up dead before she can clean her life up, then Lohan responded by trashing Dr. Drew on her Twitter and now the Dr. Drew/Lindsay Lohan catfight you’ve all been waiting for is in full swing. [EOnline]
  • Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish spent the weekend watching Phillippe’s children with Reese Witherspoon play Little League baseball. [PITNB]

    George Clooney is smart, he remains single and doesn't date wanna be Divas from Hell. Geez Brad, why do you have to be so co-dependent, it's aging you man?

    @Pete_Doherty: The low-life has lost its appeal...

  • VoxPopuli

    @ChampagneSherpa: Heh - I thought the same thing. I was going to accuse Gawker of burying the lead - that gay marriage would be legal everywhere in the U.S. by the end of summer.

  • Better to Eat You With

    @ChampagneSherpa: Their "friends" report that they're getting married every two weeks. I'll believe it when I see it.

  • ChampagneSherpa

    Well, since gays can get married now everywhere in the country then they've fulfilled their vow to wait until marriage equality had been gained. Thanks for your support (while it was a convenient excuse) Angie & Brad!

    I think he should be forced to resign as prime minister immediately.

    It's my observation that couples in that our-relationship-has-hit-a-dead-patch... period tend to get married as a kind of present to themselves before breaking up.

    @Thistledew: That was my immediate thought too. Heaven forbid you have a cuticle trimmer.

    Because, you know, I might clip someone to death one millimetre at a time. I find it to be an effective weapon only on long transatlantic flights.

    @Oy Veh (Informality Reigns): Cajun Boy is being very disingenuous with that statement. She's clearly not talking about children.

    And I have to say, I love her trainwreck of a show. Last night they introduced Krista Allen as one of her "best friends." Yes, that Krista Allen as in George Clooney's ex. But what she's more like a "frienemy" who not-so-subtly tried to sabotage Richards gig on New Year's Eve by first insulting the dress that was picked out then insulting every dress they then went shopping for---knowing full well there was a deadline. It was awesome. I hope she shows up every week doing the same type of shit.

  • BxgrlJeri

    If LiLo angry-twitters about everyone who thinks she's a trainwreck, there's no more time in the day to do anything else. Perhaps that's a good thing. Use lots of punctuation Lindsay.

  • Thistledew

    how can Pete Doherty get a needle on an airplane when I can't even get a nail file on?

    @seyswho: Whoops, never mind, just read the article and got my answer.

  • seyswho

    How did they know Doherty was doing the drugs? Did he announce it or something?

  • Slackferno

    Heh heh...Witherspawn.

  • Theimbellis

    It is funny to see people dreaming of getting acting careers with Hollywood - a home of DRAMA. 1) You fall in love on day 1, you guys get married on day 2, you guys have sex on night 2, then divorce on morning 3. 2) People arguing with each other in front of computers on Twitter. 3) People getting out of their minds.

    Welcome to Hollywood!

    @Almostbanned: Gordon Ramsay awesome? Isn't his obnoxious git schtick getting a bit tired?

  • Oy Veh (Informality Reigns)

    I agree with Denice Richards---children SHOULD NOT get boob jobs! They should wait untill they are adults.

    1. Gordon Ramsay is awesome in all that he does.

    2. Brad Pitt is not aging as well as Clooney.

    3. I wish Pete Doherty and LiLo would just hurry up and die already. It's just annoying now.

    Wish I didn't know who Lindsay Lohan is. Wish I had a clue who Dr. Drew is.

  • heywhat

    Is it even a crime in England to do drugs? All Pete Doherty does is get arrested then put back on the street the next day. The second he is released the police can just follow him around the corner and wait for him to use again.
