Celeb Chat Friday

Hey we’re going into the weekend, who wants to think too much?!?! Not this girl! So every Friday I’ll chat about my favourite subject, celebrities. I’ll give you my take on what’s been making the tabloid headlines this week.

Heidi Klum throws Seal back into the wild… or did he throw her back? Who would throw Heidi away? Anyways….

What is it about celebrity couples splitting that shocks us? In this case, is it that they made it passed the 5 year mark? Usual expiration date for a celeb couple. Or maybe it’s because they have kids, and Seal even took on one of Heidi’s kids she had with the Italian dirtbag.  To be more accurate, Seal actually met and started dating Heidi while she was pregnant with another man’s child and then was present at the birth, adopted the little girl and even changed her name. Heidi proclaimed after her birth that “Seal is her father”. This couple also renewed their vows every year on their anniversary.  That has always hit me as strange, why do you need to renew your vows every year? And do it in costumes. Yeah, not only did they throw a ceremony every year, they also dressed up in costumes, one year going as redneck white-trash hillbillies. Nothing funnier than rich celebs making fun of a poor stereotype. Anyways, I think it was the fact that other than their vow renewals and awesome looking Halloween parties this couple was very low-key. No news is good news right? Guess not. And that feeling of sadness for them you can’t quite explain, don’t worry the demise of their relationship does NOT mean no one else can make it. I’ve heard that a few times since their split, “if they can’t make it, who can”. Really? Don’t base the idea of Happily Ever After on celebs.

Demi Moore checks in to a facility for every celebrity’s favourite reason, exhaustion

After reading tabs for years and years and years… a really long time, seriously, I have come to discover “exhaustion” is PR code word for some kind of substance abuse and/or eating disorder. Which is what the lower class of tabs are reporting what’s happening with Demi. Now, like I said these are the lower class of tabs, the ones that also claim Elvis is alive and a toddler in Phoenix is half alien, half monkey. So take this with a grain of salt, those tabs are reporting Demi checked in for an eating disorder, anorexia, and substance abuse after the demise of her marriage to Ashton Kutcher. I feel for Demi, she is gorgeous, now and at 30 and at 20, all her life she’s been gorgeous. And that voice! Anyways, if even Demi Moore can have body issues it goes to show something needs to be changed. So how can we be the change? I’m still looking to figure that out. For now, get well soon Demi. There’s always been a part of me who wants her and Bruce back together anyways J

Chelsea Hander makes fun of Mariah Carey’s weight fluctuations

Only a skinny girl would ever make fun of another woman and her weight.  I can tell Chelsea Handler works out, so she does work hard for her body and I know she’s a comedian, but I think she went too far with this one. And I’ve seen her act where she calls a certain beautiful addicted-to-adoption celeb the “c” word. Yet, I think this is where she went too far. Here’s what she said of Mariah Carey: “She's worse than like Elizabeth Taylor. She's just so ridiculous with her body. You see her one day and she's 50 pounds heavier or light…” The reason I think she went too far here is, we’ve all seen Mariah jump up and down with her weight, we’ve all seen ourselves jump up and down on our weight, it happens. Every time Mariah goes up she works to bring it back down, right now she’s a Jenny Craig spokesperson.  Mariah also just had twins- TWINS! Although most of Hollywood would have us believe your body should bounce right back a week later, you don’t recover from twins quickly (or any birth for that matter). Mariah also suffered from preeclampsia in her pregnancy. So did I. I know firsthand what that does, and is one of the reasons I gained so much weight. So, Chelsea, you make fun of a woman who, less than a year ago, gave birth to twins and suffered a medical condition that made her gain weight? Classy. Why is this still okay to make fun of someone’s weight issues?
