I don’t think Octomom Nadya Suleman has gotten one single bit of good press. I’m not saying she’s necessarily deserving of any, but you’d think she’d be able to get someone to say something good about her at least once. Unfortunately for Nadya, she’s making some really bad decisions – one right after the other. Actually, I don’t think she’s made a single good decision – which explains the lack of any good press.

It’s long been theorized that Nadya wants a reality show. Some people speculate that’s how she plans on supporting her hefty brood of 14, while others have even theorized that’s WHY she got implanted with so many embryos in the first place.

Now to further add to the negative publicity, Nadya has very stupidly turned down an offer for free 24-hour nursing care. The nonprofit group that made the offer says Nadya lost interest in taking them up on their incredibly good deed once a reality show was no longer on the table.

The mother of the California octuplets has let an offer for free, 24-hour nursing care by a nonprofit group lapse.

The founder of the group Angels in Waiting said Nadya Suleman seemed to lose interest in the offer after her request to do a reality show was ruled out.

The lawyer for the nursing group, Gloria Allred, said she has filed a request for an investigation with Los Angeles County Child and Family Services into how Suleman would care for 14 children. Suleman is unmarried, unemployed, lives with her parents and receives food stamps and other government assistance.

Suleman’s new volunteer spokesman, Victor Munoz, was interviewed by TV’s Dr. Phil McGraw on CNN’s “Larry King Live” show Friday night and sounded open to considering the offer.

Munoz said he didn’t know what was offered because he has been too busy dealing with preparations for the release of the infants from the hospital, which could begin in less than two weeks.

I’m guessing Angels in Waiting wouldn’t let their nurses appear on a reality show, and that’s when Nadya decided to decline their offer. The story’s phrasing was a little ambiguous on that detail, but they obviously don’t have the authority to rule out a reality show for Nadya, though they can refuse to participate in one.

I’ve tried to show a bit of empathy for this woman, although she makes it very, very hard. It’s like she’s trying to give the public as many reasons as possible to hate her. And she is so utterly and completely clueless. Not just in terms of reality – her Pollyanna complex is astounding – but in terms of her public image. As long as Nadya keeps behaving this way, she is ensuring that any remaining goodwill will be quickly drained. And considering she’s going to have to rely on others to pull her through this – whether it’s the kindness of strangers or the government – I think she’s further ensuring that the state will take her kids from her sooner rather than later.

Kate and Owen at the “You, Me, and Dupree” premiere in July 2006.

I like Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson separately well enough. But put them together and they are one hell of a toxic pair. This is their third try at a relationship. That means they’ve broken up twice before – the first time resulting in Owen’s suicide attempt. They seem like two fun, laid-back types, but put them together and major drama ensues.

Now The Sun claims that Kate is sure Owen has matured, and thus they’re trying for a baby. I never really saw Owen as the particularly immature one in the relationship. That implies that he’s the main problem, whereas most previous stories seem to lean towards it being Kate. Or at least a good 50/50 split. So keep in mind it’s The Sun, so grain of salt and all that.

THEIR relationship has had more twists and turns than any movie either have starred in – but KATE HUDSON and OWEN WILSON are firmly back together and planning to start a family. After going public with their renewed romance in Paris earlier this week, the pair are ready to take the relationship to the next level.

A pal of the Wedding Crashers actor said: “Kate and Owen initially got back together three months ago after realising they couldn’t live without each other. Now they are ready to become parents… Kate has been desperate for a brother or sister for RYDER - her first child with ex-husband CHRIS ROBINSON - for some time… It was a stumbling block previously with Owen. He’s always had a difficult time committing, but this time it’s different.

“Kate was with him throughout his recovery and that made Owen realise how much he loves her. They’ve discussed the idea of becoming parents at length and Kate has seen a change in Owen. He is now is truly committed and is showing a new-found maturity. He loves the idea of being a dad and has told Kate that he’s ready when she is, but the sooner, the better!”

The source added: “Kate is over the moon and really wants to start a family with Owen now she feels that he has finally grown up… The fact that he is ready to make that commitment to her has given her faith in the relationship.

“Kate’s family are all really behind the relationship as well after seeing how Owen has turned it around… Everyone is now confident the relationship will work out long-term and they will be together forever.”

[From the Sun]

Owen’s family is said to be less than thrilled about the relationship, and is pushing him to break up with Kate, who they claim has him “wrapped around her little finger.” Kate’s family would have to be pretty naïve to believe everything is all unicorns and rainbows in their relationship now. Especially if they think it’ll last forever. If these two had stability in them, they wouldn’t have broken up twice before.

I’m not trying to slam on Kate, but she strikes me as naïve in terms of relationships, and in terms of kids. If there’s any truth to this story, I’m guessing it’s that Kate thinks a baby will cement things or settle Owen down. That’d be a lot of pressure to put on a child. And it’s hard not to feel protective of Owen, given his history. I’m sad that he’d keep putting himself through this. I get why they care about each other – they have an intense history. But I think that in the long term, they’d each be better off with someone a little more stable and a little less like themselves.

I used to think Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson were soooo cute. I could have written epic articles on the adorability of their love. But now that it’s been a long time – and lots of drama – I sort of want them to break up just because I’m tired of hearing about the. They’re always either screaming at each other until they’re hoarse (often in public), or they’re making out and getting all “Schmoopie-poo, I love you sooooo much!” I have no idea which is worse.

According to The Mirror, one of their reporters recently was on a trans-Atlantic flight with the couple, and they were nauseatingly codependent the entire time. Lindsay predictably more than Samantha. They made out. They text messaged each other even though they were eight inches apart. They went to the bathroom (together) to change into their matching sleep suits. I’m surprised they didn’t comb each other’s hair.

Some highlights:

Love really is in the air for Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan and her girlfriend Samantha Ronson. So much so that any hopes we had of some much-needed kip on the plane back to London, after a week of hard partying at the Oscars, were rudely shattered by the randy pair. On our Virgin Atlantic flight from Los Angeles to London, we were just a few seats away from the loved-up couple – and we didn’t know where to look as they kissed, cuddled and giggled their way through most of the 10-hour flight.

At one point we even caught 22-year-old LiLo texting sweet nothings to DJ Sam on her in-flight entertainment handset – despite sitting eight inches away from her. We weren’t the only passengers to witness their amorous antics. An elderly couple celebrating their 44th wedding anniversary were stunned when Lindsay gave 30-year-old Sam a passionate kiss.

The pair went to the minuscule cabin loo to change into matching black sleep suits before settling down into their seats. Sam looked less than thrilled to get a text right in the middle of a poignant scene [of a movie]. But she soon cheered up after reading “I love you” from LiLo.

More text messages followed in which Lindsay called Sam the “love of my life” and said she wanted to be with her forever. Pass the airsick bag… Then the pair held hands above their headrests and declared their undying love, like a couple of teenagers.

LiLo then got stuck into two large glasses of Jelu Pinot Noir before finally deciding to settle down for a nap and pulling out her reclining bed. Whispering goodnights to each other, the couple then fell asleep side by side, curled up in foetal positions. Aww.

[From the Mirror]

Ick. And this is not an “ick” because they’re girls. In fact I’m probably giving them a little more leeway because they’re girls. This sounds like the behavior of a recently reconciled couple. I’ve only ever been half this gross when I’ve just made up with a guy after a fight. And like I said, still only half. Any one of these things would be sorta cute on its own. But taken altogether, they sound not just nauseating, but suffocating and stifling. It sounds like Samantha’s dating a teenager. Which Lindsay is, in most ways. I’m guessing there was some baby talk involved too.

Though one can’t help but wonder how the Mirror’s reporter was privy to the contents of their text messages. I suppose it’s possible Samantha or Lindsay read them out loud and the reporter was close enough to hear them. Or close and snoopy enough to see them. But I’m guessing they just took some creative license. Which could apply to the rest of the article, except that it sounds very Lohan-esq. You know, until she decides to engage in a rage-fuelled screaming battle in a day or two.

Page Six has a new blurb claiming that relations between Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie are still quite frosty, despite them occasionally spending time together for the sake of their kids. In fact, they claim that Guy refers to Madonna as an “it” – something few of us could argue with, given the state of her gristle.

MADONNA’S ex-husband, Guy Ritchie, reportedly has been dissing the Material Girl (above) behind her back by referring to her as “It.” London’s Sun newspaper quoted a source: “Guy will say, ‘Oh, It’s in a bad mood today.’ ” The British director adopted the nasty nickname even before the couple officially split. “Even towards the end of their marriage, he would call her It. He told people, ‘We can’t make It angry.’ There is absolutely no love lost between them,” the source told the paper. MADONNA’s rep, Liz Rosenberg, shot back to Page Six: “It hasn’t been in a bad mood since the divorce was finalized.

[From Page Six]

I have to give props to Liz Rosenberg. That was an awesome response. Much, much better than the usual, “We don’t comment on our client’s private lives.” To be fair, there are a lot of worse things to call someone than an “it.” I still refer to a wretched ex-girlfriend of my father’s as “that creature.” It’s genderless (as she indeed appeared to be), but much more insulting than “it.” But I’ve also said she has a soul of pure tar, and even Guy Ritchie hasn’t sunk that low. Speaks poorly of me, I suppose. Whoops.

It isn’t the nicest thing to say about the mother of your children, but people have said much worse about Madge. People that weren’t married to her. People that didn’t have to have sex with her. Really, everything considered, I think Guy was being pretty restrained. Considering all the muscles he’s seen… all the ripping of phonebooks and the crushing of watermelons between Madonna’s legs… the post-traumatic stress must be unbearable. I think we have to give him a good deal of latitude in regards to things things.

Normally I would not put “reportedly” in the title of a story that comes from People Magazine, because they tend to only run stories with solid information and you can pretty much report it like it’s true. In this case I just don’t want to believe it. It was easy enough to ignore all the tabloids that claimed Rihanna still loved Chris, because even if that was accurate it didn’t mean she was back with him. People claims that they’re together, though, and are currently holed up in Miami in a home owned by Diddy:

The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the “Umbrella” singer on Feb. 8, a source tells PEOPLE.

“They’re together again. They care for each other,” says the source. The on-again couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s homes, on Miami Beach’s Star Island.

Adds the source: “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

In its latest issue, PEOPLE reports that Brown called Rihanna on her 21st birthday one week ago. “He called to wish her happy birthday,” a source told the magazine. “They’ve reached out to each other. It’s been mutual.”

Brown was booked by LAPD for making criminal threats but the case has not yet been presented to the District Attorney, who will ultimately determine which charges, if any, will be prosecuted.

[From People.com]

Rihanna went to Barbados right after the attack on February 8 to “recuperate and spend time with her girlfriends,” according to People’s last cover story. She returned to LA for a little and was last spotted in Mexico on the beach. It seemed like she wanted some time away to reflect on things and gain the courage to stand alone, but unfortunately that didn’t last long. Those reports that Chris was in contact with her must have been true and she was ultimately swayed by his efforts.

Rihanna should have obtained a restraining order against Chris Brown, she shouldn’t have taken a vacation with him. It doesn’t matter how formerly successful and well know the guy is, he hit her. He didn’t just smack her, either, which in itself would have been unforgivable, he battered her so severely that she was left unconscious with two black eyes, contusions on both sides of her forehead, bites on her arms, a split lip and what appeared to be an earring ripped out. When the police came to the scene, he fled, leaving her there passed out. There is no excuse for his behavior. There is also no other scenario that would explain her very severe injuries and it’s never been suggested that anyone other than Chris attacked her.

There are reports that claim that Brown is going to plead “self defense” against Rihanna if the case ever comes to that. It’s still in the investigation stage and it’s unknown if the DA will press charges. There is nothing short of her holding a gun to his head that could even begin to justify that type of attack. If a stranger inflicted that kind of damage on her, he would have been dealt with swiftly and she would want to ensure that the man was behind bars. Instead she’s ignoring the very real and possibly life-threatening injuries she received because she “loves” the guy and has a history with him. That’s the type of emotional equation that can only end badly for her. This is not the first time Chris is said to have abused her.

Here is more information about how abusers control their victims through a cycle of abuse that slowly breaks them down and leaves them feeling helpless. It looks like Chris and Rihanna are in the “honeymoon” phase.

Rihanna has shown that even the most successful, famous and outwardly strong women can be subject to this kind of horrific, manipulative abuse. At the very least, her pain and heartbreak have brought this very serious issue to greater public awareness. Hopefully women in similar situations can recognize Rihanna’s mistake by returning to her abuser. Hopefully Rihanna will realize her mistake before it’s too late. Let’s not turn this into some lover’s spat because they’re famous and she seems to have “forgiven” him. The guy could easily have killed her.

90210’s Annalynne McCord – who is ostensibly a mere 21-years-old, if Wikipedia isn’t a big fat liar – has defied the very laws of nature. How? Well last time I checked, nature generally didn’t let you turn into a 54-year-old Upper East Side socialite overnight. But that’s exactly what McCord appears to be – and I can’t say it’s a flattering look for her.

Yikes! It looks like someone over did it a little bit on the fake bake!

Annalynne McCord hit up Bar Deluxe in Los Angeles last night clutching a long stem rose that someone was kind enough to buy for the star (probably from one of those people who walk down the middle of street selling them out of plastic buckets).

The 90210 starlet wore red platforms and a white dress, that so nicely complimented the white racoon-like marks around her eyes. It’s good to see that Annalynne protects her eyes when she’s in the tanning bed, but maybe she should nix the super bronzed look overall. She’s a pretty girl, but Anna’s aged herself several years with tan and make up.

[From INF Daily]

The weirdest part is - while it appears that Annalynne did protect her eyes, because that area isn’t tanned – it looks like she wore the goggles too low. Her upper cheeks aren’t tanned either, yet it appears that the area under her brow is. It’s like she slid her eye protection down an inch or something. Even if she hadn’t done that, this would be a very bizarre and unfortunate look. But whatever’s going on in the eye area – Hollywood Tuna referred to it as “reverse raccoon – isn’t helping things.

I am what Websters Is My Bitch long ago referred to as a “Halfbino.” I am as pale as a person can possibly be without being an actual albino. And I can’t even pull off a spray on tan – it just looks totally ridiculous on me. So I was pretty enthused when it seemed like the Britney Spears fake-and-bake that was popular for so long had gone the way of dodo. Either Annalynne McCord’s trying to bring it back, or she’s hopelessly out of touch. Let’s pray it’s the latter.

Julia Roberts gave an interview to The Daily Mirror (quotes via The Press Association) explaining why she didn’t attend this year’s Oscar ceremony. Julia says that her husband, Danny, “had been away and just returned home” so they decided to just stay home with the kids and watch the ceremony on television. Call the presses! Why make such a production about it? I don’t recall any articles in the days after the Oscars pleading with the nation to explain why-oh-why Julia wasn’t at the awards. The Press Association has more:

Julia Roberts has revealed she snubbed a night at the Oscars to be at home with her children.

The 41-year-old A-lister, who was once the world’s best-paid actress, told the Daily Mirror she is more than happy to take some time out with her husband of seven years, Danny Moder, and three children Hazel, Phinn and Henry.

“My husband had been away and just returned home so I felt it best to stay home and be with my family,” she said. “That was my priority so we watched the show on television.”

She continued: “My life at home gives me absolute joy. There are some days when as soon as you’ve finished cooking breakfast and cleaning the kitchen it’s time to start lunch and by the time you’ve done that you’re doing dinner and thinking there has to be a menu we can order from. But some days are so much fun and my kids will help me and it’s just a part of your day. Some days it’s super fun and some days it’s a chore.”

She also denied that she missed working, saying that she was happier than ever with Danny.

“We’re best friends and we support each other in every way. You have a connection with your partner that becomes an unbreakable bond and that’s why you get married,” she enthused. “Of course life has changed and I work less, but I was never one to work too much.”

Confusingly, in March’s Allure magazine Julia was just complaining that married life has lost its luster. And now she’s saying everything’s roses. On different days, everyone feels differently about their lives, I get that. And I applaud Julia for her honesty in the Allure piece for talking about how un-glamorous real life is, even for a big celebrity. I also applaud her for basically saying that she’s a full-time cook and maid to her children. But her accounts of her life come across as rather contradictory to me.

So Salma Hayek and her chi chis married a billionaire, yet she’s spending her honeymoon with Tina Fey? Yes, it’s true, peeps. Salma ditched out on her new husband Francois-Henri Pinault for Tina AND Alec Baldwin. However, the truth of the matter is Salma skipped out on her honeymoon to shoot for 30 Rock.

The news was confirmed by Alec Baldwin, “She flew right from her wedding to come shoot with us again. Her husband is a doll.” Yeah, a very rich doll, Alec.

Tina added, “(Hayek) spent her honeymoon working with us! She told me, ‘You must go the parties with me and elope! You must party with me!’”

We’re sure Salma’s new billionaire hubby will make it up to her with some diamonds and 2929348458 trips in the future. Salma ain’t sweatin’ it!

Yep, peeps, I’m sorry to say it…but People has exclusively reported that Rihanna and Chris Brown ARE back together once again.

What the freakin’ deuce??!!!

A reliable source said, “They’re together again. They care for each other. While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

It turns out that the newly reunited couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s homes.

All I can do right now is shake my head. Ughhhh.
