Middle East Move For Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson
Posted on 5-Jan-2009 4:10:53 PM

Of all places to set up home, Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson have set their sights on Dubai! While Dubai is a great cosmopolitan city, with lots of glitz and plenty of glamour, it is not exactly the kind of place that would welcome – let alone  tolerate – same sex relationships. Which begs the questions, why would the two 'lovebirds' consider Dubai to set up their love nest?

But, obviously they have not thought the whole deal through as Lilo and Sam have reportedly already fallen in love with their dream home that cost almost $3 million.


We're not sure if these two will have much fun in the sun in Dubai


According to some reports, Lindsay who already owns a number of properties, has earmarked Dubai's property market as an investment opportunity, hence the interest in this particular purchase.

While that actually makes good financial sense, it is however overshadowed by a long list of frivolous reasons for choosing Dubai, which includes:- they like the tacky glitziness, Lindsay loves being out in the sun and there are not too many paparazzi around to hound them!

Pete Wentz Just Wants To Be Loved
Posted on 5-Jan-2009 4:06:30 PM
Poor Pete Wentz. You would think that he’s one of  the happiest men in the world, what with a new son and all but it isn’t the case. Or so he says.


Seriously, no one can be this happy!



Why, you ask? Well Pete just wants everyone to love him and sadly, many people don’t.

Pete told Blender magazine, “I was letting the blogs get to me. It’s semi-frustrating when your name actually becomes a synonym for douche bag. I’m paranoid pretty much all the time. I can take three Xanax bars and not feel a thing.”

Well all right but a few things first. Firstly, why is Pete spending his every waking hour reading blogs about himself? Secondly, Xanax comes in bars??? Wow!!!

But anyway…

Seriously, Pete, get over it, man. So bloggers hate you. So they call you douche bag. Last time we checked you were married to a hot woman, had loads of cash in the bank and Rolling Stone had just given Folie a Deux four out of five stars!

Is Britney Doing An Angie?
Posted on 5-Jan-2009 3:41:54 PM
It seems that Britney is having a case of Jolieitis -- you know, that disease where a girl wrenches an attached guy away from his woman.


See, I was never in India. That's the Eiffel Tower in the background!



Brit, reports allege, has her eyes firmly set on her Womanizer choreographer, Sandip Soparrkar and has already gone on holiday with him and introduced him to her parents. Now, all this would be perfectly fine if Sandip was actually available. He isn’t! The choreographer has been dating Indian model Jesse Randhawa for the past four years.

U.K.’s The Mirror reports that Brit visited Sandip in India over Christmas and went away with him on holiday to Jodhpur. And as can be expected, Sandip’s girlfriend, Jesse is far from pleased.

The Mirror quotes Jesse as saying, “Britney’s gone through so much turmoil in her life and instead of making her a better person, it looks like she’s just left all her morals and ethics behind. She knows he’s in a relationship and is happy -- so why spoil it?

“Britney did come over to India and she and Sandip went away for a few days, but it was purely professional. They were busy rehearsing. I really do wish she would just leave us alone now.”

E! Online however, reports that the entire story is a fabrication. Brit was, it seems, never in India.

Hmmm….

So who’s telling the truth?

Robert Plant Gets Better With Age
Posted on 4-Jan-2009 4:15:54 PM
What a terrific 12 months 60-year-old Robert Plant has had.


Robert and Alison: Critical and commercial darlings



First there was all the renewed interest in Led Zeppelin thanks to their one-off reunion show at the 02 Arena in London in Dec 2007. Then Raising Sand, his album with country star Alison Krauss, was certified platinum (1 million copies sold) by the Recording Industry Association of America and nominated for the Mercury Music Prize as well as five Grammys. And then, just as 2008 was ending, it was announced that the Led Zepp frontman was to be honoured by the Queen of England with a medal!

Robert now has a CBE behind his name which stands for Commander of the British Empire. Not bad for an old rocker, eh?

Tom Cruise Wants 10 Kids!
Posted on 4-Jan-2009 3:05:11 PM
Tom Cruise keeps getting weirder and weirder. But even though it was obvious from very early on in his career that he was a little strange (he married Mimi Rogers for crying out loud!), it never ceases to amaze how truly nuts Mr Cruise actually is.


Tom with his brood. Three ain't nearly enough.



Take this, for example: In a recent interview with U.K.’s The Sun, Tom revealed, “I want 10 children. I love kids. I feel really fortunate to have the teenagers and a two and a half-year-old. It’s a great dynamic.”

But of course, 10 is entirely possible. After all, it’s not like Katie has anything else to do with her life, right? Furthermore, Tom told the paper that he is very, ahem, energetic man! He said, “If I’m worried about anything, it’s if she can keep up with me. I’m very active.”


Strange, strange, strange man.

John Travolta’s Teenage Son Dies
Posted on 3-Jan-2009 11:40:49 AM


It’s not clear if John and Kelly were at home when Jett was found in the bathroom.


Our hearts go out to our favourite actor John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston. The couple’s teenage son, Jett, died in the Bahamas yesterday.

The family was vacationing at the family’s home in the Old Bahama Bay resort community. A house caretaker found Jett, 16, unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning. He was taken by ambulance to a Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead, local police said in a statement. Police believe Jett had a seizure and hit his head on the bathtub.

Jett, who was last seen entering the bathroom on Thursday, has had a history of seizures. Kelly Preston has said in interviews that Jett became sick when he was two years old and was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, an illness that leads to inflammation f the blood vessels in young children.

It’s unclear if Jett was on any anti-seizure medication but Kelly once told People magazine that he was on a detoxification program based on the teachings from the Church of Scientology.

Jett is the oldest child of John and Kelly, who also have an eight-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu.

Fergie Pumps It Before Wedding
Posted on 3-Jan-2009 10:49:35 AM


“Do I look slim in this dress?”


To look her Fergilicious best for her upcoming wedding to hottie Josh Duhamel on 10 January, singer Fergie is working out 24/7 to tighten and tone her already sizzling hot bod.

 

Fergie, who was forced to gain weight for her role in the upcoming movie, Nine, says losing that extra pound has been an uphill battle. “It’s hard. I’ve been working out every day. It’s been a lot of hiking and sit-ups. I’ve been working my butt off while trying to maintain a healthy diet,” she said just before her New Year’s Eve concert in Las Vegas at The Venetian.

 

We can’t wait to see the wedding photos!

Queen Latifah’s Gems Stolen
Posted on 3-Jan-2009 10:47:33 AM


“Has anyone seen my bling?”


Hey Paris, you know that person who nicked your jewelry last month? We think he was in Tobago a few days ago!

Okay, maybe it’s not the same person but we’re hearing the same story. This time around it’s Queen Latifah who has a few baubles less to take home. The singer/actress was in Tobago on vacation when thieves walked away with over US$10,000 in jewelry from her luxury US$1,000-per-night Stone Haven Villas in Black Rock, Tobago.

Queen Latifah had gone with a friend for a barbecue brunch held in her honour by the hotel management. Upon her return, she found a bracelet, two gold rings, a gold chain and a silver ring missing. Police, who were informed immediately, believe it’s an inside job and are currently investigating the matter.

We have two words for you, Queen Latifah … hotel safe!

Pink Still Has Feelings For Ex
Posted on 3-Jan-2009 10:40:56 AM


“Hey Carey, wanna hook up?”


What were you doing when the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve? If you asked singer Pink the question, she’d tell you that she spent it with her ex-hubby Carey Hart.

Nope, the couple ain’t back together again, yet. But if Pink had her way, they would be. Pink says she isn’t giving up on her relationship with Carey, a motocross star.

The couple and a few of Carey’s friends were in Carey’s club in Las Vegas to ring in the New Year, but according to sources at the party when the clock struck midnight, Carey and Pink didn’t kiss. “They talked, but not much. At midnight Carey grabbed her and took her up on stage and introduced her,” a friend said. “They’re still friends, but it’s going to take longer than a night to become more than friends again,” said another friend at the party.

Later, Carey escorted Pink too the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel where she had a half hour performance. Friends close to the So What hitmaker say she’s not over Carey yet. In fact in a recent interview, Pink admitted she’s not interested in dating any other men because she still has feelings for Carey.

Let’s hope the New Year will see things changing for the better for Pink and Carey.

Robert Pattinson Dreads Shooting New Moon
Posted on 2-Jan-2009 4:08:23 PM

Robert Pattinson eyes a problem shooting the sequel to Twilight. It's in the form of his character, Edward Cullen's topaz coloured contact lens. The British heartthrob says "the orange blobs" can hinder his acting skills.


My eyes, my eyes, they hurt!


Relating his past experience on Twilight, Rob claims he couldn't bring out his emotions due to the uncomfortable lens. "It was like I constantly had sand in my eyes. I was wearing them for three months constantly and my eyes never ever accepted them! It took me 20 minutes per eye every single day and I ended up having to literally fold it into my eyeball."

Poor Rob. Those gorgeous-looking lens must really hurt. "It was frustrating as well because normally your eyes are saying something, but if you've got two orange blobs in your face, it's so annoying!" "The director (Catherine Hardwicke) would say, 'Look at her (Kristen Stewart) like you love her,' and I'd be like, 'I'm trying!' "

Kate Hudson Shares Wedding Day Tips
Posted on 2-Jan-2009 12:57:40 PM


Take it from me. I was once happily married.


Brides-to-be, here's some wedding day tips from Kate Hudson:

1. Be certain you and your man seriously want to marry. "Make sure you're ready to get married, that you're really sure you want to do this," says the star of Bride Wars.

2. Find a good bar [if you drink]. "I would say really good placement of the bar! At a wedding you want to have a good time."

3. Be raunchy. "But if your lifestyle is not as healthy as it should be, it's a motivation to try something new -- like a pole-dancing class!"

Mariah's Not Pregnant Yet But Thinking Of Broadway
Posted on 1-Jan-2009 7:14:08 PM

If you are thinking that Mariah Carey is hiding her pregnancy, she isn't. Honest. Sure, she was coy when she appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, but now there's photographic evidence that she's not preggers.


Mariah and Nick are not expecting just yet (Photo: Reuters)


Yep, Mariah and hubby Nick
Cannon were spotted on Tuesday drinking red wine and eating oysters (something you don't eat if you're expecting). It doesn't mean she's not trying of course. After all, there have been reports that she's doing light workout sessions.

In other Mariah news, the British newspapers are abuzz about the pop singer in talks to produce a Broadway stage musical about her life. And she's already decided who she'd like to play her: Leona Lewis!


Leona to play Mariah?


"Not only is
she exotic, she's the only one who they reckon would be able to tackle Mariah's eight-octave vocal range," an insider told the Daily Mirror. It sure sounds like a good choice. Other names apparently being bandied about include Vanessa Hudgens and Eva Longoria.

Are you ready for Mariah Carey: The Musical?

Russell Crowe Told To Lose Weight
Posted on 1-Jan-2009 6:27:11 PM

Oscar winner Russell Crowe has reportedly been told that he is too fat to play the role of the sheriff of Nottingham in the upcoming Robin Hood movie by Ridley Scott.


Russell now (Photo: Reuters)


The British
director asked Russell to go on a diet according to the Daily Mail. Wow, the hot-tempered star didn't get angry (he once faced criminal charges for throwing a phone at a hotel concierge)? Apparently, the U.K paper reports that "Ridley is one of the only directors on earth who could ask Russell to slim down." The two did work together on Gladiator, where Russell won his Academy Award. Since that movie, Russell has been gaining too much weight for Ridley's liking.


Russell then: Looking good in Gladiator


The movie is a twist on the traditional tale and paints the sheriff of Nottingham as a noble lawman whose corrupt king is raising taxes as his subjects starve. He vies with Robin Hood for the love of maid Marian who is played by Sienna Miller.

A Change Is Coming
Posted on 1-Jan-2009 1:58:35 PM


Can you guys believe it, it’s 2009! We at Galaxie would like to wish all our magazine and blog readers a very happy New Year.

This year promises to be a great year for us as we are taking on a new challenge. We’re revamping the magazine. Long-time readers of the magazine have seen us grow from a newsprint black and white mag to a full-colour, 60-paged glossy magazine. We have gone from publishing news agency-bought stories to personally interviewing A-lists actors and singers including Britney Spears, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Jack Black, Leonardo DiCaprio, the cast of Heroes, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy and more.

Galaxie has gone through a few revamps but this year we’re planning for major reconstructive surgery. In order to devote our time and energy to the revamp, there will not be any publication of the magazine until our big reveal in April.

But entertainment junkies need not worry. You can get your daily dose of entertainment news from our blogsite which is updated daily.
