Nelly Furtado confirmed during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Friday that she secretly married sound engineer Demacio “Demo” Castello this past summer. They had worked together on her 2006 album “Loose” which included her hits “Promiscuous” and “Maneater.”
The couple had been engaged since last year.
Nelly who is 29 years old has a four-year-old daughter from a previous relationship that ended in 2005.
She said:
“We got married July 19th, “I love it.”
She went on to say: “It’s a nice phase of my life. I just feel kind of free and relaxed and more in tune with trying not to be so stressed out,[I'm] trying to enjoy things a little more.”
She also added: “I’m happy … I’m excited about the future.”
The Apprentice boss Donald Trump, gave his opinion with regards to the reports that Madonna could lose half of her $500 million fortune in her divorce from director Guy Ritchie because the couple do not have a prenup.
The Donald who himself has been divorced twice told Life & Style:
“I always thought she was smart — until now.”
I myself just read this on England’s policy on pre-nups:
“In England and Wales the courts have traditionally given little weight to a prenuptial agreement, and have viewed the enforcement of prenuptial agreements as being against public policy.”
The Donald isn’t the only one down on Madonna, her soon to be ex-father-in-law John Ritchie had this to say to The Daily Telegraph :
“She is being beastly. She is saying, ‘Did you ever love me?’ It goes back to a time when she fell off her horse, and she’s blaming him for that. She’s calling him an emotional retard. When he’s being bashed by her, it’s horrid.”
*sigh* Must be awkward and embarrassing to have one’s divorce become public knowledge although, she didn’t help matters by dissing her ex in concert the other night!
Sir Elton John talks about touring and what drives him in the latest issue of GQ:
“I love going out and playing. I’ve never loved playing so much as I do now. I’m just going back to do some dates with my band, then I go off and do six dates completely on my own, and then I go back to Vegas to do a show which is completely different to anything we’ve done before, and then I’m going on the road again with Billy Joel again next year—so that’s the fourth different thing—and then I may go on the road with Ray Cooper again—so that’s the fifth different thing—and then I’ve got an orchestral thing up my sleeve. So that’s six different kinds of shows I can do. And I just really, really, really enjoy it. I suppose it’s because I’m totally happy with my personal life, totally happy travelling. Everything in my life is pretty much the most balanced it’s ever been. I’ve been going to places I’ve never played before—Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Abu Dhabi. This year I played my fiftieth state. I’ve got so much energy and so many things on the go. I want to do another Vegas show.”

Lisa Marie Presley gave birth to twin girls on Friday, reports Star.
The 40-year-old daughter and heir of Elvis Presley Lisa Marie gave birth to twin daughters with her 47-year-old musician hubby Michael Lockwood at Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Lisa Marie’s two older children, Riley, 21, and Ben, 16, from her first marriage to Danny Keough, were also there to welcome the twins’ arrival.
“Lisa Marie is a mom to four kids now! She’s feeling good, a little tired too,” a family friend reveals. “She is so happy and Michael is ecstatic. He’s wanted to be a dad for so long. This is his dream come true…. The babies are healthy and beautiful. Ben was seen pushing them down the hall in their cart and cooing to them.”
Congratulations to them! She went through so much negative press about the size of her baby bump, I really felt sorry for her. When she wrote on her blog that she was carrying twins, what a double blessing.

Jamie Lynn is not pregnant contrary to the rumours buzzing about the internet. I don’t know where these rumours start but apparently this one was not newsworthy. An “impeccable source” tells TMZ that it ain’t so.
Now that I think about it, despite all the mistakes her big sister Brit has made in her life, AT LEAST she was married before she had her babies. Hillbilly diva that she is managed to do that much right!
So all is well with that southern gal and really, there is enough contraception methods out there to avoid becoming pregnant.
Jennifer Lopez just admitted in a very revealing interview that she suffered ‘a kind of nervous breakdown’ seven years ago. It was just before she married her second husband, dancer/choreographer Cris Judd. Blaming overwork and stress, she refused medication, choosing to rest until she felt better.
She told website The Daily Beast that she ‘froze’ while filming Enough in 2001:
‘I was like - I don’t want to move. I don’t want to talk. I don’t want to do anything. I had a nervous breakdown. There were no signs leading up to it. You really don’t know what’s happening at first. I was going, what’s going on? It’s funny what tricks your mind plays on you. I just didn’t want people to think I was falling apart.’
She went on to talk about Scientology (her dad is a Scientologist for more than 20 years) and how people do not understand the religion:
‘I just wish that people wouldn’t judge it without knowing what it is,’ she said. Lopez added that she would be happy for her children to attend a Scientology school.
On her diva image:
‘Once you have a lot of success you become a target in many ways. I just think the whole diva thing is a misrepresentation of who I am. I worked really hard. I kept my focus on the right things. And still even with that they find stuff to pick on.’

Check out the clip of The Jonas Brothers at Piazza Duomo (Cathedral Square) in Milan during a taping of MTV Italy’s Total Request Live on Sunday.
Joe and brothers Kevin and Nick sang their hit song “Burning Up” for their fans in Italy.
The Jonas Brothers also attended a private party for Italian JB fans sponsored by La Feltrinelli, Italia 1, Radio 105, and the Disney Channel.
In other related news… Nick Jonas recently revealed that he was adopted as an infant:
“For a long time, we kept this secret in our family, to support our image as a band of three brothers, but I have to tell the truth,” said Nick. “I don’t think it will hurt our image — if anything, it makes us stronger. We love our fans and we know they will support us no matter what.”
Nick was born to close family friends of Denise and Kevin, the other boys’ biological parents. Several months before Nick’s birth, the couple decided they wanted an abortion. But Kevin, a former pastor, “doesn’t believe in that,” Nick said. “So he and my mom offered to take me in. They’ve been awesome parents, nothing but supportive, and I couldn’t ask for anyone better.”
Nick previously shocked his fans back in 2005 when he announced at a concert that he had been diagnosed with Type I diabetes.
