Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell MarriedRebecca Romijn, 34, and Jerry O’Connell, 33, married in a ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday, said Romijn’s representative, Lewis Kay.

Romijn, who currently stars in ABC’s “Ugly Betty”, and O’Connell, of “Crossing Jordan” fame tied the knot in Ojai, CA. Isn’t she a beauty? The couple met in 2004 when Romjin was shooting for Wet Dreams, and later in 2005 Jerry proposed to her when the couple was in New York.

This is the first marriage for O’Conell. Romijn was previously married to actor, John Stamos for 6 years. I wonder how long this one will last or if she has a second agenda!

Married to soccer superstar David Beckham since 1999, the couple has 3 children. David Beckham recently signed a 5 year contract with the Los Angles Galaxy which took effect July 1, 2007.

American Idol - It’s Finally Over

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Nations sighed in relief as the voting public finally got it right. Sanjaya Malakar was voted off American Idol last night. Malakar who has inspired extreme reactions from the voting public, having one viewer go so far as to claim to go on a hunger strike until he was voted off. His singing and weekly survival frustrated judge Simon Cowell enough to declare that he would not return next season should Sanjaya win. While his singing was weak and childlike, his stage persona was ever changing. His most notable and most talked about appearance had him sporting a pony-hawk. Perhaps the bulk of his support came from shock jock Howard Stern and web site “Vote for the Worst”. Both supported him to go to the finals not because of his talent but as a mockery to American Idol’s premise that only the best win. This week was country week with guest coach Martina McBride. A surprisingly poor performance of “Jesus Take the Wheel” by LaKisha Jones landed her in the bottom two with Sanjaya. Another surprise in the bottom 3 was Blake Lewis.

Next week’s result show will feature “a star-studded extravaganza of celebrity artists performing at both the American Idol stage and prestigious Disney Hall, including: Sacha Baron Cohen, Michael Buble, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion, “Il Divo”, Josh Groban, Annie Lennox, Pink, and Gwen Stefani”. This event is in support of “Idol Gives Back with sponsors making a donation for every vote called in on Tuesday night.
