Welcome to a magical world of sunshine, rainbows, Botox and silicone also known as Hollywood. This column will bring readers the latest happenings on their favorite celebrities, while offering useful and deep commentary on them. Let's dish some celebrity dirt!
Unless you've been living under a rock this past week, you've probably heard that Britney Spears and dancing beau Kevin Federline officially tied the knot on Saturday. Reports from MTV said the 10 minute ceremony took place in a backyard tent in Studio City, Calif., with only a small group of friends and family in attendance. Before we get to the tears of joy and the "awwww, how nice" remarks, let's review some of the facts. This is Spears' second marriage this year. Remember her first marriage to high school pal Jason Alexander that lasted a whopping 55 hours while the two were hanging out in Las Vegas? At this rate, Spears may even outdo Hollywood's most notorious bride, Jennifer Lopez, who amazingly is still with Marc Anthony.
And let's not forget our main man with the baby momma drama; Federline has two children by Moesha star Shar Jackson, which officially makes Spears a step-mom. (How awesome would it be to have Britney Spears as your step-mom?!) The happy couple became engaged in June, only three months after they began dating.
So to summarize: Spears and Federline decide to get engaged after dating for three months and got married after dating for about three more months. Not to mention, this is Spears' second marriage in the nine months, and Federline has two kids with another woman. The likelihood of this marriage lasting? Let's just say it's probably safe to start taking bets on when the divorce papers get signed.
It seems like no one can get enough of Hollywood's new "Bennifer," not even reality TV. E! has reported rumors that Spears and Federline are interested in becoming the new faces of MTV's "Newlyweds," although Spears' reps deny that any deals have taken place. Can you even begin to fathom that? If Britney and Kevin have their own reality TV show I think that whether buffalo wings are made from buffalo will be the least of our problems. In all fairness, it would make TV a lot more interesting. Nevertheless that's like putting Michael Jackson on Barney ... it's just wrong!
Speaking of entertaining TV, MSNBC is reporting that the Bravo Network has decided to air a new reality series entitled "Being Bobby Brown" sometime next year. Brown is hoping the reality show will help revive his singing career. First of all, what singing career is he trying to revive? The guy hasn't had a hit since the late 80s/early 90s. I think that some people don't even know that Bobby Brown is a singer, but who could blame them? The only times you ever hear about him are when he's in trouble with the law. But you know what, I think it's great that Bravo's giving him a reality show; Cops and America's Most Wanted just aren't that fun to watch anymore! Plus the American public can watch a bad boy that isn't P. Diddy.
And where would any celebrity gossip column be, without saying something about America's sweetheart (if by sweetheart you mean a promiscuous blonde), Paris Hilton. MSNBC has reported that Fox is now in talks to put Hilton and gal pal Nicole Richie back into the reality TV spotlight -- this time on Capitol Hill. Reports say that the show would focus around the two ladies working as congressional aides. Wow, as if our government isn't screwed up enough already. But hey, once you're a young millionaire, you've made a sex tape, you've been in TV shows and movies, and made a CD, logically, the only thing you have left to do is become a politician. And no offense to Paris Hilton, but if she really wants to put the sex scandal behind her, is DC really the place for her to go? A young, attractive woman working for a powerful politician ... you know where I'm going with this.
In not so happy news, legendary guitarist Johnny Ramone died in his sleep on Wednesday. MTV reported that Ramone had suffered from prostate cancer for five years. He was 55 years old.
