Just when I think I’ve seen it all when it comes DIVAS and their antics, Mimi shows me how life as a Diva is done! Here she is on a private yacht in Capri yesterday getting towel dried by people I can only assume are members of her staff entourage.
Here is her diva list:
* She has 11 bodyguards surround her table in restaurants, so people can’t see her eat
* She insists her dogs travel by private plane or private car only
* She booked every penthouse in Claridge’s hotel, so she can have ultimate privacy
* She insists they install a $20,000 gym next to her penthouse suite
* She will never use public transportation again, “I’ve already been on the bus I don’t need to go back on the bus.”
* She keeps 20 humidifiers around her bed
* She likes being carried around, because wearing high heels all the time hurts her feet
* She doesn’t have a Birthday, “Honestly, I don’t even have birthdays. I call them anniversaries.”
* She won’t wear flat shoes ever! She said, “My feet repel them.”
She herself has personally said:
“I guess I am a diva in many ways. I can be difficult and a little bit rigid about what I want”
But then she added: “I don’t think I’m demanding enough.”
A diva must be properly taken care of which is why I have to admit, I’d like to be one someday!

Madonna’s highly publicized friendship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez, just made more news. It seems he has made a very substantial donation for her charity Raising Malawi. Her charity helps Malawi’s over one million orphans obtain access to food, education and medical care. If true, its a truly generous gift and will be put to very good use. I wonder what A-Rod’s estranged wife feels about this? Hopefully, he’ll be as generous with her during their divorce.
New York Daily News is reporting that an unnamed source revealed:
“They’ve asked him for a million dollars, and I hear he’s agreed to give at least $500,000.”
The gossip last couple of months was that he and Madonna were having an affair. She denied the allegations adamantly stating that she and husband Guy Ritchie are still happily married.
Philippe van den Bossche director of Raising Malawai says:
“Obviously when you’re talking about donors, these are private things. I would never reveal information about any donor.” He adds: “We’re building a girls’ school, which will bring the best resources from around the world with a specific focus on medicine, education and the law.” It will be based on the British system — as is taught in private schools Madonna’s children Lourdes and Rocco attend. … We want programs that can be copied in developing countries throughout the world. Not just a celebrity one-off.”

Steven Page (from the Barenaked Ladies) was arrested earlier this week, on drug charges.
According to the cops, they discovered Page’s girlfriend’s car parked on a sidewalk with the door open. So officers went up stairs to tell her. They saw Steven seated at the kitchen table with capsules and when they tested him, he was positive for cocaine. Seems kinda weird as we know so many celebrities snort cocaine, and they have never been busted even when caught on camera!
That is not all, Steven has allegedly run off on his wife and kids with someone he met ‘onilne’ Word in the gossip blog sphere says that he has an “online blackbook” so he can hook up with anyone around the world. I am assuming this ‘blackbook’ would be something along the lines of facebook or myspace.
And rumour has it, he’s also allegedly been trying to convince his estranged spouse to liquidate all their assets so he can cash out on her.
Paris and Benji went out for a nice early dinner at La Taverna di Tony in Malibu. I have to say Paris Hilton is looking pretty ‘boho’ in that outfit while Benji just looks like he always does. I swear it seems like wears the same clothes everyday.

Look at Mariah’s ear piece, it looks as though it is diamond encrusted. Somehow I doubt it is diamonds, but more likely crystals or cubic zirconia. Mariah really likes her accesories shiny. Her microphone, eacpeice, earings, and sunglasses all have some sort of bling on them!


They also assert that they were forced to pay for breaks, spills, and “walkouts” on the job.
Jay Z has hundreds angry former employees that could be eligible to collect on the claims of lost wages if their case wins in court.
The source claims that a federal judge has admitted the club owners violated federal labour laws after reviewing an earnings report for at least two workers who showed they were not paid for overtime at the venue. The judge said, “The record contains corroborating evidence of the allegations.”
I have to admit the restaurant industry is terrible. I worked at a ‘high class’ Golf course restaurant and they would force you to sign a paper when they dismissed you early because the restaurant was slow. At the time it was illegal to pay an employee under four hours but this place would get you to sign that right away. I was so aggrevated by it I ended up quitting.
The thing was if you wouldn’t sign this paper they would force you to do boring and ridiculous things for the remainder of your four hours. Ie: use a /coffee filter to get all the fruit flies out of the liquor bottles, or go down and reorganize the cooler for no apparent reason. Most of the time the employees just signed and high tailed it out of there.
So Kim Kardashian usually hides her big rear end when out and about in a bikini, but this time she decided to bare it all, and might I say that her ass is way bigger than I expected! Now we all know she has been using Velasmooth or velashape in order to get rid of her cottage cheese thighs. It looks like it must be working, because for a butt that big you would expect some dimples! She is even letting a little ass crack show, how class is that?!


Paris Hilton dropped into the pharmacy (probably to go pick up her herpes medication) in a sexy black cocktail dress. As she pulled off her glasses, she gave the paparazzi a very sexy look. I have to admit she looks drop dead gorgeous in this shot and I am not usually one to think Paris is pretty. Her arms on the other hand are not sexy at all they are actually looking a little thin.. Paris you better head to the gym and start using some weights!

We all wondered if these 2 media whores were actually making any money with all their staged photoshoots and club appearances. Apparently they pulled in 3 million together within the last 2 years. That is a lot of money for not really doing that much. I love that people with hardly any talent can pull in more money in two years, than a hard working regular Joe through his whole life. If they keep up all their ‘hard’ work, they will probably have more than someone like Lindsay Lohan who has squandered all her money away.
“Signing a record contract with 19 Recordings/Jive Records is truly a dream come true,” states Archuleta
I am glad to see this as David is truly one sweet boy. I am not sure how good his album will be because all he sung was ballads on Idol and that is just not good enough nowadays. He better do some good pop songs or he will just fade into the night like a lot of the other idols. I do have to say he was one of my favorite idols so far, he always seemed very greatful and very deserving of all the fame he did get.
