    Baby Boom

    I saw a picture of them together at an event last week and had the exact same reaction!

    Celeb Death Watch

    I think back on the day when I was a kid and my mom found out that John Lennon had died. Today I understand how she felt. This one was a shocker for me because I just think of him as immortal. But it's very David Bowie that he basically turned his death into art. The Lazarus video was something on Friday, but something else today.

    I always wonder, when somone has been married that long, what finally brings about divorce.

    It's bad. "Law enforcement sources told TMZ Wednesday that some of the photos on Salling’s computer depicted girls under the age of 10 engaging in sexual activities"

    What are you reading?

    The first book is the slowest so far, and I'm glad they are broken up because I need a break in between each one. Plus, the identity of the author is like a blind item, so right up our alley!

    I don't know why I continue to be shocked by this stuff. The world is full of shitty people, but yet I still am.

    What are you reading?

    I've been reading the Neopolitan novels by Elana Ferrante. Although it's four books, it's really one very long story.

    Does anyone read historicals?

    Deleted because apparently I just pasted a text message from my mom here by accident and I have no idea what I was really going to say!

    Ugh. I find him so gross. I totally do not get the attraction.

    Who'll Split Next (version 5.0)?

    I'm feeling that this is the year we need to have Posh and Becks on the poll.

    The Kardashians

    Joking aside, I had read the middle name was going to be Robert, after her dad, but that was before the birth so not sure if it's true. As for the name, I don't think it's stupidity as much as hubris. They truly believe they are better than everyone else.

    Katie Holmes

    Josh Hartnett and his girlfriend (wife?) just had a baby. I'm really curious to see what that kid looks like as she ages. Should make for some interesting speculation.

    Serial Podcast

    No idea where this fits in other than I listened to it likes would an audiobook, and I suspect others in this category might have as well. I'm a year late to the party, but just listened to it all on a road trip with my high school aged son. Has anyone else listened? Where do you come down on it: guilty, innocent, guilty but not convictable? During the show I changed my opinion every week. My son feels pretty strongly one way. Now that I've had some time to process and spent about 10 minutes googling the case, I think I've come down on a side.

    Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale

    Oh yes, that's right, it did say that but I just forgot that detail in my battle with traffic. Sorry!

    Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale

    While dropping off family at the airport I was browsing and read somewhere (don't remember which mag) that Gavin had his phone set to sync with the family iPad. Gwen found some naked photos and incriminating texts on the iPad that had synced to the iPad through the cloud.

    Serial Podcast

    Initially I was kind of leaning towards innocence, but the last episode really did it for me. The only really solid fact is that Jay knew where the body and the car were, so he must be involved at least to the level he said. When you look at all of the other lesser evidence, when Adnan admitted he had the phone, where the phone was, as the assistant said, this is one hell of a bad day. There is literally no scenario I can come up with that absolves Adnan that doesn't involve police cover ups, James Bond and the like. there were a lot of little things - the teacher saying Hae hid in her classroom to stay away from Adnan, the fact that Adnan lied about quite a bit of stuff... I just don't see any way all of that is a bad coincidence, I'm pretty firmly in the he did it camp now. The more I learn about what was presented in the trial that wasn't on serial, I'm not even sure I'm still in the "but not proven" camp. As the detective said, you can have reasonable doubt about any one item, but the idea is to look at the big picture. Once all of those little things are stacked up, is it reasonable to doubt that they ALL are wrong? That being said, Jay and Jenn are also lying their asses off.

    Serial Podcast

    Real case. Friends of the defendant, a teenage boy convicted in 2000 of murdering his high school girlfriend, contacted a reporter claiming new evidence and attorney incompetence. They asked the reporter to look into the details as the conviction was based largely on one witness with a constantly changing story. The podcast is a somewhat realtime story of the investigation done by the reporter. If you plan to listen, I'd recommend not really googling the case until you do. The podcast has some crazy over the top fans who took things into their own hands and (besides really sketchy behavior to people involved in the case) present all kinds of "evidence" that is very confusing if you haven't gotten a good grip o the story via Serial. Kid and I were completely obsessed with it. Lots of fodder for conversation with a teen about poor choices, high school life, civics etc.

    Gwen and Blake... Real or PR stunt? If real, factor in the split?

    Damn, Khloé. Clearly they paid for the lip package in bulk. She looks ridiculous. http://us.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2015103027977/khloe-kardashian-supports-james-harden/

    Who'll Split Next (version 5.0)?

    I will admit that I had absolutely no recollection of them being married and having a kid. When I saw the headline, I thought it was going to be how everyone was surprised to find out about the wedding and divorce at the same time. I guess this one was really not on my radar.

    Fall 2015-2016 Schedule

    I take that back. I did DVR that show and once I had about 8 on there, I watched the first two. Deleted the rest and moved on. I wanted to like it but it was just awful, in my opinion.

    Tom Cruise

    Still sticking it to Nicole in the PR. hE paid for it but she didn't even know it was happening. http://us.hellomagazine.com/brides/2015100627554/isabella-cruise-wedding-details/ Tom Cruise pays for daughter Isabella's low-key wedding 06 OCTOBER 2015 Tom Cruise reportedly paid for his daughter Isabella's wedding to Max Parker in September, despite not receiving an invite. The 22-year-old wed her partner of less than a year at London's Dorchester Hotel on 18 September, joined by a small group of friends. Sources told TMZ that the couple wanted to keep their wedding private with neither set of parents invited, despite the fact Isabella's mum Nicole Kidman was also in London to prepare for her role in West End show Photograph 51. Isabella-Cruise1- Tom Cruise and his son Connor reportedly didn't attend Isabella's wedding Reports suggest that Isabella's younger brother Connor also chose not to attend in a bid to keep the nuptials, held in one of the five star hotel's function rooms, as low-key as possible. Although he wasn't there to walk his daughter down the aisle, Tom was reportedly happy to foot the bill for the nuptials. The wedding involved a Scientology ceremony as Isabella shares her father's beliefs in the faith. A source told the New York Post: "The wedding was a Scientology ceremony. Nicole wasn't there – she didn't even know about it at all." Isabella-Cruise- Isabella Cruise tied the knot in September Isabella has been dating IT Consultant Max for less than a year after being introduced through mutual friends. She has been living in London while she works towards a career as a professional make-up artist – she graduated from Delamar Academy of Make-Up and Hair earlier this year. Tom and Nicole, who divorced in 2001, adopted both Isabella and Connor during their 11-year marriage. Although they have since parted ways and welcomed children in different marriages, Tom and Nicole are said to still play an active role in their lives, with Isabella and Max spending Thanksgiving and Christmas with the Mission Impossible star in 2014. Meanwhile Nicole has recently spoken about the importance of keeping in touch with her children – Isabella and Connor, plus her daughters Faith and Sunday Rose with husband Keith Urban – while she is travelling with work. "I have four children, so to stay in touch with them is very important," Nicole told DuJour magazine. "I'm definitely engaged in it [technology] but I don't let it rule my life."

    Tom Cruise

    Yeah, it's interesting that the article doesn't say Nicole wasn't there, just that there are no pictures of her there.
