Another so-called Hollywood pair have made the divorce list as Shania Twain and her husband, producer Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange, have called it quits. The now ex-couple released a statement through their spokesperson Jason Owen on Thursday saying “Shania Twain and her husband, music producer Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange, are separating after 14 years of marriage. This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time.” 14 years is a long time to just throw away. I wonder why the split – adultery, jealousy, constant fighting? It’s highly likely that their divorce papers will just say ‘irreconcilable differences’.

Max Liron Bratman is one lucky baby boy. Christina Aguilera flaunted her svelte post-pregnancy body at the signing of her new DVD ‘Back to Basics – Live and Down Under’ at Best Buy in West Hollywood on Tuesday. This was the singer’s first appearance since the birth of her son in mid-January.

In an interview earlier than day, Christina revealed to Ryan Seacrest that her pregnancy experience will play a role on her next album. She said “I’m very excited! I’m so inspired. This whole incredible thing that’s taken place in my life, between the pregnancy and the birth… I’ve got so much in me to write about. This next record, I want to have a lot of fun with it. I’ve been brainstorming for the last nine months of my pregnancy. This next album will have a whole new me. A different me.”

While his soon-to-be ex-wife is off partying it up like mad in Hollywood, Silverchair front man Daniel Johns decides to debut a new look. I guess it’s his way of dealing with the divorce.

The rocker performed at the Big Day Out at Parklands last Sunday in Australia’s beautiful Gold Coast with a new head of blonde hair. You just have to love those blondes. I can’t believe that Natalie Imbruglia is letting this guy go! In my opinion, getting a divorce from him is definitely a loss for her. He is one yummy piece of man meat that’s for sure.

Britney Spears almost bailed on her custody hearing about having her boys’ visits be overnights. But she completely bailed on potential dancers which were scheduled to audition for her new video and possibly, her new tour.

Brit apparently decided to bail on everyone that morning. She didn’t show for the auditions which left dancers steamed when her new assistant called Millennium Dance Studio in North Hollywood to cancel.

A source said that “Over 50 girls waited for her to show this morning — for over an hour.” The auditions are supposed to be rescheduled some time soon. Hopefully, the dancers would be more receptive than Brit.

Latino pop hunk Ricky Martin is stunned he has been awarded a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame. The singer will accept the accolade for his contribution to music in California on October 16th. Let me state my view on his Star at Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. He is a fantastic performer and great with the girls as his looks are stunning and his moves on the dance floor make him look like a demigod. But even this does not mean that he deserves a Star, I think looks and fame should not be the criteria to be awarded a star, achievements in one’s career in their respective fields should be the sole and only criteria to be awarded a star. And the fact that Ricky himself is stunned by the adulation shows that he knows that he fully doesn’t deserve it. But now that he has been awarded the star he can be proud of it.

Cancer survivor Sheryl Crow is helping others suffering with the disease, by championing a new charity shoe sale. Well I do not know how much would a charity show sale auction or what ever it would call collect for cancer patients. But tell you what, sometimes its not just what is on sale that is important, at times its what is the cause for which the sale is being put on that is important. And this is exactly one of those auctions where shoe sales are not important but the motive and the feeling to help others like her that is note worthy. Sheryl you are not just a plain music rocker but a true rocker in life as well, you’ve battled cancer and you’ve won and I think you know today the importance of life and you wanna make a difference in other’s lives as well who are battling this deadly but curable disease. Hats off to you and hopefully you can collect enough to help some if not all people you intend to.

Celine Dion has refused to ever set foot on a red carpet again because she hates answering superficial questions about the clothes she is wearing. The superstar singer was savaged by the fashion police for wearing a backwards white Dior suit to the 1999 Oscars and has never truly recovered from the criticism. She makes a good point.. I can care less where the diamonds or dresses come from. The questions are just repetitive and boring. Celine is one of the most respectful artists in the world today and she knows that the red carpet is all about flaunting your unnatural self and showing those rented diamonds and evening dresses for that picture to be flashed next morning in the papers. She is a singer, an entertainer and a performer but for sure is not a pathetic model who needs to flaunt she skin and wear the so called right dresses because she is a model. Celine has her dressing sense and she looks beautiful as well.

The Australian songstress who brought us hits like ‘Torn’ and… well, ‘Torn’, Natalie Imbruglia was cornered by the paparazzi outside Hollywood hot spot Koi on Saturday. Wow! Someone still knows her? 1998 called, they want you back Nat!

The 32-year old singer was visibly annoyed by the blatant invasion of privacy and exited the eatery asking the photographers “How can I get you to stop? Can you leave me alone now?”

Nine years of obscurity do barely anything to anyone’s fame, especially if you come out of Koi. If only there were other restaurants in LA. You should have known better Nat! That’s the price you pay for your ignorance.
