My News Booth

Even though the two don’t yet refer to themselves as an item, it sure does seem that way. Rihanna apparently took a little trip to a charity for autism organized by Matt Kemp where she got the chance to spend a bit of time with his friends and family. This is what a source related about the event: “Matt was happy she came. It was an awesome show of support. Rihanna fit right in as if they all knew each other. It was comfortable.” Matt Kemp is always happy when Rihanna shows up… after all, she’s such a good friend. It looks like a perfect match for the two… especially since Justin Timberlake has yet to be seen around Rihanna lately.

After his relationship with Jessica Biel ended, Justin Timberlake might have seemed to be on the market for those untrained eyes out there and it looks like somebody took the bait. Kate Hudson is believed to have taken quite the shine to Justin Timberlake as a source related: “Kate flirted with Justin outrageously that night, and he was all over her. They exchanged numbers in the green room. Kate wouldn’t dream of stealing another girl’s guy. But in Hollywood, most people believe Justin and Jessica are now all but over. They’re certainly not red-hot for each other anymore. Their relationship has evolved into a friendship.” Apparently the two were hosting the Screen Actors Guild Awards and that’s when they got close to each other. It’s good to see though that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are now friends. And it’s natural, what woman wouldn’t want to remain friends with the guy that dumped her just to have an on/off fling with Rihanna. It makes perfect sense!

There are probably a lot of things that Ronnie Wood is good at… but being subtle or cunning are apparently not among them. It seems that the Rolling Stones guitarist only got himself a new Russian girlfriend in order to make his former one, Ekaterina Ivanova, jealous. This is what a source revealed about Ronnie Wood’s foiled plan: “Ronnie only paraded Hannah to show Katia he can still date a younger woman. He’s certain Katia won’t last much longer in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house, and when she gets out she’ll find he’s been out with another young Russian. He thinks it will make her crazy.” Considering that everyone knows his plans now, it’s probably not going to play out that way, but Ronnie Wood can still dream, right?

Among the things that make the most sense in the world here we have Ronnie Wood’s beaten up ex-girlfriend, Ekaterina Ivanova, saying that the singer should get back together with his former wife. This is what she said regarding Ronnie Wood’s relationship needs: “I hope Ronnie and Jo fall madly in love with each other again and get back together. I feel like it’s a good place for him. She knows him best and how to handle him. I think he needs to accept that he does need mothering. One of the reasons he left her was because he was sick of being mothered and because everyone gave him a hard time about his drinking.” Well, well… it looks like the cocktail waitress is admitting to giving the job up for someone with more experience… strange that nobody really seems to care what Ronnie Wood wants. After all… he drinks, what does he know?

It is not however about her own sexuality, but about that of a certain someone Pixie Lott used to go out with at some point whom she now thinks might be gay. This is what Pixie Lott related on the matter: “There was this one boy who I went out with for, like, a month. To be honest, most of the boys at Italia Conti were gay. I think that boy I went out with is actually gay now!” Well if he is now and wasn’t back then, Pixie Lott might want to wonder why that is. Could having dated her have changed the man so much? It must’ve been one hell of an experience.

Looks like somebody changed her mind really quick… must’ve been the weather, winter is not a good time to be going up north. It seems Carrie Underwood took the time to subtly rephrase the idea of her moving to Canada with her boyfriend, Mike Fisher. Here’s what Carrie Underwood said: “Call me old fashion, but the next guy I move in with will be my hubby. Who ever that is. I’m not saying it’s going to be him.” That must’ve broken Mike Fisher’s poor little heart… and it probably even hurt more than the teeth incidents he might have lived through as a hockey player. But still there is hope… come spring, Carrie Underwood may yet again have a sudden change of heart.

On the more “unhappy” relationship side of the news, Janet Jackson has recently confirmed her splitting up from Jermaine Dupri. This is what Janet Jackson said about her relationship with Jermaine Dupri: “I’m not the type of girl that stays in touch with your ex like that. But Jermaine is one of my best friends. I love him to death. We’re still connected. We’re still good friends. We still talk.” There we go! Happy, happy, joy, joy, right? Well, for Janet Jackson anyway, Jermaine Dupri probably isn’t that excited about “just being friends”… no matter how close they are. Oh well, you win some, you lose many.

Looks like it’s all running smooth now for Britney Spears… and it’s apparently due to her new relationship with her agent, Jason Tarwick. The truly surprising part is that even Lynne Spears thinks it’s a good thing. This is what she said about Britney Spears’ new boyfriend: “He is the kind of man you would dream of your daughter marrying.” The career’s going good, Britney Spears is happy, mom approves… what could be missing? Ah yes, the daddy blessing? Where is Jamie Spears and how come he hasn’t spoken up about this? It all seems to depend on him now.

The singer’s current girlfriend, Luisana Lopilato, thought that he was actually gay the first time they met, so relates Michael Buble: “I don’t speak Spanish and she had no English. But the guy did so I just spoke to him. I was a bit nervous because of how beautiful she was. I later found out she was on the phone to her mother the whole time saying, ‘Buble’s gay. He’s hitting on my friend.’” So that’s the way to go, is it? Great skill on Michael Buble’s part… Russell Brand would’ve been very proud. But his secret’s out in the open now… hopefully, he has a steady relationship otherwise he won’t be able to pull that one off a second time.

The country singer has admitted that, even though she’s been really, really busy with her career and all, and her previous relationship with Joe Jonas didn’t go so well, she is ready and set to start dating again. Taylor Swift’s own words were: “I have always been really busy, so finding a date was never easy. I’m better on my own, moving around and doing career things. But if someone comes along who is right for me I will definitely go for it.” What a subtle invitation Taylor Swift makes here… it smells like market day already. Maybe Robert Pattinson should have a go for it, rumor has it the man can’t get a date at all. They both seems desperate enough, it’s the perfect opportunity.

George Michael is refuting the claims that he and his long time boyfriend Kenny Goss have gone their separate ways. Supposedly, Kenny has had it with the singer’s consistently bad behavior and split. The couple hasn’t been seen out together in public since February. George’s rep says “There is no truth in the matter at all. Kenny has been away in Dallas where he owns a gallery but is scheduled to return home this Friday. They are planning a lovely weekend together.” George has also insisted that he was in an open relationship saying that “gay relationships are a bit different. I’m sure we’ll be allowed to roam if we want to. But we love each other dearly.”

The couple who have been together for a few years now apparently got started by a mutual friend introducing Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel to one another. The actress admitted recently that before actually getting together, they used to have long phone conversations. Jessica Biel said: “We’ve been dating a couple of years. I don’t really like to talk about it much, though. We met through a mutual friend but we had a lot of phone conversations before meeting up so got to know each other that way. But they were PG phone calls!” PG calls? What is that supposed to mean? Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel talked about each other’s parents all of that time?

The singer recently proposed to her fiancée and gave him a custom-made diamond ring on his birthday. Jennifer Hudson decided to do this since her fiancée also proposed to her on her birthday last September. Neil Lane, the creator of the ring, said: “Jennifer wanted to give him something really special when she asked David to marry her. It was very sentimental and romantic. They are really in love.” Well isn’t that cute! But it’s just a bit… wrong… and I can’t decide whether it is or is not unoriginal, but hey, whatever rocks Jennifer Hudson’s boat. Still, it is a bit off the clock to be proposing to your own fiancée and after so much time after he proposed to her. You have to imagine the pressure.
