Whoopi Goldberg confesses to cheating while married Whoopi Goldberg has come to the defense of Sandra Bullock's embattled husband Jesse James as he fights allegations of infidelity, insisting she can understand why he would cheat - because she "screwed around" during her three marriages. Bullock walked out on James in early March after the TV mechanic was reported to have had an 11-month affair with tattoo model Michelle McGee last year. But Goldberg has called on critics to stop judging James until they've heard the full story from the man himself - because tabloid claims are not always so straightforward. And the "Ghost" star admits she could see why a spouse would cheat - just like she did when she was a married woman. She confesses on the daytime TV show "The View," "I did it (cheated) five or six times... Yes, I screwed around while I was married, yeah. I made mistakes too. It happens sometimes. "Maybe he was trying to find something different too. I'm not excusing what I'm doing as, 'Hey, maybe there's something else to look at here' as opposed to just saying, 'Hey, he's a bonehead.' Maybe he just wanted something wonderful in his life (married a star) and couldn't deal with it. It's just a possibility, I know it's crazy." Goldberg split from first husband Alvin Martin in 1979 after five years of marriage and went on to marry David Claessen in 1986. That relationship lasted two years and she later wed Lyle Trachtenberg in 1994, before the pair divorced just a year later. source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate...7#ixzz0kHWpkjsC

Christina Aguilera taps into painful childhood for film debut Singer-turned-actress Christina Aguilera recalled painful memories from her childhood to make herself cry while filming her big screen debut, "Burlesque." Aguilera, who plays a struggling dancer in the upcoming film, drew upon her own experiences with an abusive father to conjure up the emotions needed to portray the character. She tells Britain's OK! magazine, "The girl I play, Ali, has a rough past - her mother dies when she's very young and she's been in foster homes. I could relate to that pain, growing up in an abusive household. "That gave me great motivation to provoke my tears for those scenes where I had to really pour it on. I felt it deeply, to go through a lot of those things that brought up a lot of painful memories." source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate...7#ixzz0kHVSIrLv

Erykah Badu charged with disorderly conduct for video strip Dallas police officials have charged Erykah Badu with disorderly conduct after a female bystander officially complained about the singer's public nudity in a controversial new video. The R&B star performed a full striptease in front of stunned strangers as she walked along Dealey Plaza, where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The footage appears in her new "Window Seat" video. The promo has prompted debate online with fans applauding her bravery, but one woman who watched Badu bare all was far from impressed, and now her official complaint has landed the singer in big trouble. A statement from the police on Friday, April 2, reads, "The City Attorney's Office and the Dallas Police Department have decided to charge the entertainer known as Erika (sic) Badu with Disorderly Conduct. After much discussion, it has been determined that this charge best fits her conduct when she disrobed in a public place without disregard to other individuals and children who were in close proximity. "Disorderly Conduct is a class C misdemeanor, which means Ms. Badu will be subject to a fine up to $500.00. "The At-Large-Citation will be mailed to Ms. Badu in the near future. It will be up to her as to how she wants to proceed further with this case. She can contest it in a court of law or simply pay the fine. "The delay in issuing the citation was due to the lack of witnesses, who were at the scene, who were willing to come forward and file a formal complaint with the police department. One witness did come forward yesterday."

Janet Jackson: ‘Don’t Ask me For Marriage Advice’ SINGER Janet Jackson says she isn’t the go-to gal for marriage advice. “I’m really the wrong person to ask,” Janet, who has been married and divorced twice, told Parade magazine. ” I’ve been married twice and divorced twice, so I don’t think I should be answering this question ‘What have I learned?’ “There are going to be hills and valleys and what I’ve seemed to have noticed is that a lot of the young people today, they seem to want to quit at the first drop of drama or issues that they have. “Even with my parents, there were the bad times. It’s always going to happen and you need to work through those. If the love is there, you get through them together with trust and communication.” Janet, 43, then discussed her marriage role models. “It wasn’t my parents,” she said. “It was Sydney Fine who was a composer and his wife. I considered her my second mother. She was our tutor for years. And that’s who I really looked up to. “Looking at their marriage, they were just very loving and very close and always connected and always communicated.” Source showbizspy.com

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber on The Rocks? HOLLYWOOD couple Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are going through a rough patch in their relationship, according to a new report. The pair — who raise two sons together — have apparently come to blows over their careers. “Liev is kind of arrogant and snobby,” a source close to the couple told RadarOnline. “And it grates on him that Naomi has the higher profile, bigger, better career and higher earnings. “Despite the rumors that are out there, they are not married, and they haven’t talked marriage plans in a good two years. “They’ve already been through two real relationship crisis’, in January 2008 when Heath Ledger died and then last Spring/Summer time, and they came extremely close to splitting but they decided to go to couples’ counseling and work it out for the sake of the kids. When Heath died it really rocked Naomi’s world and she totally withdrew. Liev just isn’t the kind of guy who will hold Naomi’s hand to get her through a tough period. Instead he acts like he doesn’t need the relationship and can walk out at anytime. “But he better be careful because if he keeps it up he could lose Naomi and I do think that would devastate him. “But, it looks like they’re slowly deteriorating, and finding themselves back in a bad place once again. “Basically, it’s a total clash of the egos between the two of them. It’s always tough to make a relationship work when it’s between an actor and actress. Both tend to be self-obsessed to a degree, and Naomi and Liev fit that description to a T. “Liev would like Naomi to take more of a back seat when it comes to her career, he wants to be the major star and breadwinner and he would like her to be more of a stay at home mom. But Naomi knows that her movie making days are running out fast and she wants to capitalize on her looks and fame while she still can — while she’s still young enough. “Plus she loves being an actress, and loves the validation she gets from the fans and the critics. “They’re kind of in a no win situation and basically at a stalemate, neither side wants to budge or compromise. I really don’t see how they are going to work this one out and reach a resolution that keeps both sides happy. “I know for a fact that if they didn’t have the kids they would of split a long time ago. It seems that now, the only thing holding them together is their two sons, who they both love very dearly. Unfortunately, it seems that they no longer love each other very dearly though.” Source showbizspy.com

Heidi Klum Likes to Get Naked! HEIDI Klum has no qualms about being naked — even if it’s in front of her parents! The supermodel and Project Runway host — who raises four children with her singer husband Seal — says she’s relaxed about being undressed. “I think it’s because I grew up in a very easy-going family where my parents were always naked,” Klum told Tatler magazine. “My parents are still naked. I mean, it’s not like we’re hippies and we run around naked, but if they happened to be in their room changing or something or someone comes out of the shower, they’re not, like, ‘Oh my God. No. Close the door’.” Klum also spoke about how she and Seal regularly renews their wedding vows. “He’s very old-fashioned, my husband. He’s very proper,” she said. “We loved our wedding so much that we decided to do it every year, so that’s what we do. “I still have the same values in life, but I’m definitely not as crazy any more.” Source showbizspy.com

Erykah Badu charged over Dallas nude video shoot Neosoul singer Erykah Badu faces a disorderly conduct charge for her nude music video shoot in downtown Dallas' Dealey Plaza, officials announced Friday. Badu, a Dallas native, performed a walking striptease in front of tourists and pedestrians during the March 13 shoot for Badu's "Window Seat" music video. The performance ended with a nude Badu acting out receiving a fatal gunshot to the head at the spot where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. Sgt. Warren Mitchell said Friday the decision to cite Badu for disorderly conduct — a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 — came after witness Ida Espinosa, 32, of Vernon, offered a sworn statement to police Thursday. Espinosa declined to comment to The Associated Press on Friday. "Having a fact witness that was there is what let us file the charges," Mitchell said. "After much discussion, we feel that these charges best fit her conduct. She disrobed in a public place without regard to individuals and small children who were close by." Mitchell said the department has had "people calling from all across the country to express their concern." Mitchell said Badu can either fight the charge or pay the fine. He said a citation would be mailed to the singer. Carla Sims, a spokeswoman for Badu, had no immediate comment Friday. source: http://sfgate.com

Geri Halliwell: 'You either love or hate Victoria Beckham' Geri Halliwell has compared her Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham to pungent yeast spread Marmite - insisting you either love her or hate her. Halliwell, along with Beckham, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton, shot to fame in 1996 with their "Wannabe" track and went on to become the biggest girlband in British history. When quizzed over who she believed was the most popular member of the group, Halliwell based her answer on the number of dolls in their likeness that were sold to fans. And although the "Look At Me" singer is convinced Chisholm sold the least dolls, she insists it is Beckham who divides opinion most - claiming she's "like Marmite," a British breakfast spread which has such a distinctive taste that it polarizes the nation into 'Love it/hate it' groups. Halliwell tells Piers Morgan's Life Stories, "It would be according to what dolls are left on the shelf. I think probably Sporty (Chisholm). Do you know what, actually I always refer to Victoria... you'd get this very black or white feeling, either absolute adoration or not. She knows that, she's like Marmite. "I absolutely love her. The girl that I know has got absolutely nothing to do with the one I see in the media." source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate...7#ixzz0k4KRHSgO

Nicole Richie pranked Joel Madden and Kim Kardashian with Twitter attacks Nicole Richie pulled an April Fools' prank on fiance Joel Madden and pal Kim Kardashian - by hacking into their Twitter accounts and posting a string of naughty messages. The socialite took over the Twitter accounts of Madden - the father of her two children - on Thursday, sending tweets to Dolly Parton, Sharon Osbourne, Paula Abdul and Ashley Tisdale. Richie ensured she would leave her lover red-faced, by telling Osbourne she was "yummy," asking Abdul if Madden could "smell her armpits," and tweeting Parton to see if she had any "milk in those jugs." And Richie went on to aim her mischievous side at Kardashian, tweeting on the reality star's account, "Sometimes I think I'm a lesbian because HOT DAMN Nicole Richie is fine." Richie later revealed herself as the culprit - uploading a picture of herself grinning on the top of their Twitter pages. source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate...7#ixzz0k4Ji1G8F

Tilda Swinton: 'Family set-up is normal' Tilda Swinton is baffled by interest in her friendship with her ex-partner - because she's convinced it's possible to "love people you're not sleeping with." The Oscar winner has 12-year-old twins with playwright John Byrne, but has been enjoying a romance with German boyfriend Sandro Kopp, 18 years her junior, for the last few years. Swinton is still friendly with Byrne and his new girlfriend - and the four adults even live together at her home in Scotland. But she refuses to believe that the domestic set-up is unconventional, and maintains it is healthy for the twins, Honor and Xavier, to have four caring adults in their lives. In an interview with the London Evening Standard, she says, "(The kids are) quadruply loved! Listen, what I find really amusing, although I'm not really aware of people's fantasies about us, but the thing that bemuses and amuses me, is that people assume that we're not talking about two monogamous relationships. Of course we are. John Byrne and I had these two extraordinary children together and couldn't be happier about it. We haven't been together as a couple for many years, since which time we both happily engaged in other relationships. "And all of us just really like each other. Please tell me that's not really unusual, please tell me lots of people live in this way. Whenever people tell me it's extraordinary, it saddens my heart because it makes it sound like acrimony is the norm. That people not getting on with the parents of their children is the norm. Well, I don't believe it is. I think countless families live like we do, and life goes on. It's perfectly possible to love people you're not sleeping with. Everyone knows that." source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate...7#ixzz0k4H6v6yP

Tom Arnold is still upset about assault trial Comic Tom Arnold is still sore about the time he spent picking up trash by the roadside as community service for defending his ex-wife Roseanne's honor. The "True Lies" star was arrested for attacking photographers who he claims assaulted his then-partner at the Los Angeles International Airport almost 20 years ago. He felt sure his wife's testimony would help him in court, but she allegedly let him down - and he was sentenced to community service. He recalls on Jimmy Kimmel Live, "My wife had been assaulted and she was my witness, so how can it go wrong? "It came time for the trial and they put her on the stand and they said, 'Roseanne, tell us what happened,' and she's like, 'I didn't really see anything.' "Two days later I was in an orange jumpsuit on the 405 (freeway)." Arnold and Roseanne's four-year marriage ended in 1994. source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate...7#ixzz0k4GUHCP2

Janet Jackson worries for Lady Gaga Lady Gaga has found an unlikely new superfan and mentor in R&B superstar Janet Jackson. The "Nasty" hitmaker admits she's hooked on the colorful pop star's music - and was thrilled to discover the "Bad Romance" hitmaker is a "sweetheart." Jackson tells MTV, "I really love GaGa and she's a sweetheart. It's not always the case when you meet them (superstars). You can enjoy their work, but it's not always so pleasant when you get to know their personality, and she truly is a sweetheart. "She's definitely doing something different and I love that." But Jackson admits she worries about the "Poker Face" singer after GaGa confessed to passing out three times during her a concert in New Zealand last month. Jackson says, "She works so hard and I told her I think she needs to slow down just a little bit, take some time out for herself." Jackson's advice comes a week after OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder warned his pop pal to "be careful" not to burn herself out. GaGa blamed the health concern on a lack of sleep, saying, "I was so jetlagged, I got in the night before and the jetlag just really caught up with me. I passed out about three times on stage that night but I got myself to the floor. "I'd rather die on stage than walk off the stage because I was going to pass out... It's never happened to me before, I was just really tired." source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate...7#ixzz0k4DKjhkm
