Sleeping Beauty

Justin Chambers is better known as Dr. Alex Karev on the hit television show Grey’s Anatomy. He checked himself into UCLA’s psych ward because of a biological sleep disorder. "It's an issue that I've had for a while," the Grey's Anatomy star told PEOPLE in his first interview since the incident. "It's a biological sleep disorder. Your mind keeps racing, and your body is tired. It wants to go to sleep, but it can't." Chambers, 37, who has five children with his wife, Keisha, 38, says in the two months prior to checking in to UCLA, he was sleeping no more than an hour a week. "I got to my wit's end," he says. That is crazy! I can not believe he did not sleep for more than an hour for the whole week. I love Grey’s Anatomy and actually Chambers’ character is one of my favorites. He plays Alex, an eager and competitive intern but he can also be self-absorbed and overconfident. His offensive behavior and poor attitude cause him to be extremely disliked by doctors and patients alike, and he is dubbed "frat boy" by the other interns. Alex prides himself on his honesty, which often lacks tact and can verge on being crude, brutal, and insensitive. This contributes to his poor bedside manner. However, Alex does have a moral code and is the only doctor who tells the truth to patients who make bad decisions about their health, at the risk of offending patients and getting kicked out of surgical cases. He is a great character and I hope Justin gets well.

Life in the Divorced Lane


Kimora Lee Simmons has been married to Russell Simmons for seven years. On Tuesday, Kimora filed for divorce. Her reason was irreconcilable differences. She is seeking legal and physical custody of their two children, Ming Lee, 9, and Aoki Lee, 5.The Baby Phat designer, 32 also requested that Russell Simmons, 50, be granted "reasonable child visitation ... accompanied at all times by the children's nanny and security personnel." In my opinion Kimora would not be famous if it was not for her husband. Russell, whose brother is Run from the group Run DMC, owned the hip hop label of Def Jam. He also owns Phat Farm, which is a clothing line that is very popular and has branched out into many other things. He is the third richest hip hop entrepreneur right behind Jay-Z and Sean Combs (P.Diddy). Kimora designs Baby Phat clothing and was an actress and a model. She was not famous before marrying Russell and becoming a member of the Phat Farm family. Kimora has a reality show on E! called Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane. I think the shows portrays her as a bit mean and unappreciative. She is always yelling and demanding things. I like Russell a lot better than Kimora but you never know how she really is/ I should not judge her based on a show.

Not So 90210


Tori Spelling has become my new celebrity to research and watch. I knew about her from the show Beverly Hills 90210 as Donna Martin. She has her own reality show with husband Dean McDermott called Tori and Dean: Inn Love. I knew that she had problems with her parents and she was disinherited. I looked up an article on People.com and apparently her father left her less than one million dollars in the will. She was very upset about his not only because her father was a billionaire but because she and her father were very close. I feel really bad after watching her reality show. I thought she had her own money saved up but she does not. Tori and Dean are struggling with money. They have one son and are expecting another child. They have faced many obstacles and I hope that they work it all out. I was watching E True Hollywood Story on her and I learned a lot about her. I just assumed that since her father is Aaron Spelling, she had a lot of money. But just because your parents have money does not mean you do, well in her case at least. Tori and Dean are really trying to set up a great childhood for their son Liam and for baby number two. They bought a Bed and Breakfast in Fallbrook, California. They both continue to work to equally support their family. I hope everything falls into place for them. I am sure it will because Tori is always concocting new business plans. What's next for the Beverly Hills hottie? We will just have to wait and see.

Hansel's So Hot Right Now

Hollywood’s “frat pack” consists of celebs like Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson and brother Owen Wilson. They have been in hilarious flicks such as Anchorman, Wedding Crashers, Old School and Zoolander. They are the future of comedic part of Hollywood. One of them is in a new film called Drillbitt Taylor, Owen Wilson. In Zoolander, Wilson played Hansel who was a male model who coined the phrase "Hansel is so hot right now." Owen, who plays Drillbitt Taylor, is sought out by three high school boys who become the center of a bully’s day. Taylor says he likes to live a “home free” existence but that is just code for a homeless living on the beach. He enrolls them in physical and mental training. Taylor makes them go through many obstacles. I am sure it will be hilarious. Owen has had a tough time lately. He split with girlfriend Kate Hudson. Then he had a suicide scare. We were all pulling for him because he is a great actor and I am sure a great guy. Since his suicide attempt, he has been in many movies and is allegedly back with Hudson. The film, Drillbitt Taylor will come out in theaters March 21.

Dirty Pop

Pop Fiction is a new show on E! that focuses on the lives of celebrities. It turns the tables on the paparazzi and lets the celebrities play pranks on them. The paparazzi are always making up lies about celebs so this is their chance to do the work for them. Ashton Kutcher, the number one prankster in Hollywood, is the executive producer. The first episode was about Paris Hilton and Avril Lavigne. The newest news about Paris was that she was converting to a different religion. She was seen with a man who was said to be her Shaman. This news was in all of the tabloids and magazines. It was on the entertainment shows and just about everyone who turned on the television saw her new man. It turns out that it was just a ploy of the new E! show. Paris Hilton had an improbable dinner date with a gray-haired, orange-robed "shaman" who blessed her and urged her to give a diamond necklace to a total stranger. Avril’s whole part of the show was about her being pregnant. They showed her with a little belly to deceive the paparazzi. This week was based on Eva Longoria and Mario Lopez. I love that A.C. Slater! This show was kept under wraps and no one knew what is about. The show is a good way to show the public not to believe everything they hear in the tabloids and newspapers. Pop Fiction, an eight-episode series, is a prank show targeting paparazzi and gullible media outlets. It's made with the eager help of stars, who were the laughing stocks of Kutcher's former MTV show, Punk’d. This time the shoe's on the other foot, and the series has been kept so tightly under wraps that E!'s own website fell victim to the Hilton hoax and other planted stories that producers won't yet divulge.

Now I Know you Got a Buzz off that Alcohol

Ashlee Simpson has been living in her older sister Jessica’s shadow for years. Now, she has her own image and her own fans. She is very different from Jessica and they should not be compared. Ashlee, who has her third album due out on April 22, did an on-air radio show Tuesday. She was in Washington, D.C., on Hot 99.5's Kane in the Morning show. She apparently felt like she was not being treated very nicely. They made a comment that she was drunk for their show. She posted a MySpace blog that stated that she takes her work "very seriously and would never disrespect anyone and come into an interview that way." Listeners apparently got the wrong idea because Simpson spent a lot of her on-air time giggling and refused to answer a lot of the questions directed her way, including questions about her family and love life. At one point, she seemingly forgot the lyrics to her new tune "Little Miss Obsessive." "Uh, the best line in the song is, uh...you know...the, the, uh, 'come over' line," she told deejay Kane (who commented on air, after the interview, that she sounded drunk), presumably referring to part of the chorus, which goes: And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it.
She was very upset about this and she said that she would never do it. She always giggles anyway but people like to bring her down. They have no life and want to make up lies about other people. But after all, that is their job. I like her a lot. She is herself and did not want to live in the shadow of her sister, like she says in her song “Shadow.”

Worst Day Ever for the Scott's

Okay so One Tree Hill last week was amazing! I know I say that about every episode but this one was the most exciting yet. I am going to shorten my summaries up because they are getting a little long. Basically, Nathan told Haley that the nanny has a crush on him but two weeks ago she kissed him. He conveniently left that part out. Nathan was in the shower and guess who comes walking in, Carrie! Haley walked in and saw them and freaked out, just as everyone would. Nathan was telling Carrie to get out but she did not listen. Carrie told Haley that Nathan loves her which is a total lie. She is out of her mind! Haley told them both to get out. Jamie is upset because he loves the nanny and he made it very clear when he told Haley that he hates her and wants Carrie to be his mom. Carrie went to the house and told Haley that they are in love and that they kissed. Haley confronted Nathan and he said she kissed him which is the truth. As they were fighting, Jamie was in the backyard playing and fell into the pool. He was drowning and finally the parents realized and Nathan jumped in to get him. Haley asked Nathan for a divorce! They can not get divorced. They are the moral center of the universe, well my universe at least! The nanny is ridiculous. She is not only making up lies but she is ruining a marriage! They are a family and she is ripping them apart with lies.
Dan, Nathan and Lucas’s father, had a trial to get out of jail but they did not show the verdict. We have to wait for tomorrow! I hope Dan does not get out of jail but he really adds a lot to the show. Let’s face it; there would not be a show without him. He is the center of most of the drama. I mean he killed his own brother if that does not cause drama I do not know what will. Brooke took Owen, the bartender at Tric, to New York to show him what she really does. A friend from high school, Rachel, was lying on the floor of the NY apartment. She tried to kill herself by overdosing. Owen rescued her. Brooke took her back to Tree Hill to be with friends and to help her get better. I am glad Rachel is back. I liked her from previous seasons even though she and Brooke did not always get along. They became good friends though. Peyton’s old boss tried to steal Mia from her label but was unsuccessful. We will see what happens tomorrow night. These two days can not go by fast enough!

Vinni Viddi Vici


Justin Timberlake is my absolute favorite celebrity! I have loved him since *NSYNC first came out in 1998. He became the love of my life even though he had bleached blonde curly hair. I followed *NSYNC and Justin through all of their CD’s, concerts, and eventually their breakup, which still upsets me. Justin has had a lot of different hairstyles. From that bleached blonde hair to the curly afro to the shaved head, Justin looked good through it all. When he became a solo act, I immediately bought his CD. I saw his FutureSexLoveShow twice last year and I cannot wait until he goes back on tour. Not only is he an amazing singer and dancer, but he has a great sense of humor also. He hosted Saturday Night Live twice, both episodes being widely received. The second time he hosted he sang, along with an SNL star Andy Samberg, a song about a thoughtful Christmas gift. While it was controversial, Timberlake and Samberg received an Emmy for the song.
With the music and television world conquered, Justin began to take over Hollywood. His first was Model Behavior, a Disney Channel Original Movie where he played a model who fell for a small time girl. He has also starred in other movies such as Shrek the Third, Alpha Dog and had a small part in On the Line, the film that starred *NSYNC band mates Joey Fatone and Lance Bass. The most recent film for Justin to star in is The Love Guru. The Love Guru is about Pitka, an American raised by gurus who returns to the USA in order to break into the self-help business. Pitka is being played by Mike Myers. His first challenge is to settle romantic troubles and the professional skid of star Toronto Maple Leafs hockey player Darren Roanoke whose wife Prudence left him for rival skater Jacques Grande, who is played by no other than my main man Justin. Justin plays the sleazy looking character, an Afro-clad, 70s style moustache bearing porn star wannabe who in one scene wears a pair of Speedos! If I was not going to see that movie I am now! I cannot wait until it comes out in theaters!

Swayze Not Dancing For This One


Every girl who has seen Dirty Dancing has fallen in love with Johnny Castle and the actor who played him. The way he moves, speaks, and not to mention his beautiful looks. But this news does not have the star dancing. Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which was confirmed by his rep on Wednesday. This is heartbreaking news especially since Swayze has never been extremely ill. The National Enquirer that broke the story said that the actor has five weeks to live. That however is not the case. "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment so far," Dr. George Fisher, Swayze's personal doctor, said in a statement. "All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue." Still, pancreatic cancer is the deadliest form and less than 5% of its patients live over five years after their diagnosis. Hopefully, Swayze will break that pattern. Everyone wished him well and is pulling for him. Personally, I love Swayze. Once I saw Dirty Dancing he became one of my favorites. I really hope his treatment works. Swayze has been in many great films including Ghost which costarred Whoopi Goldberg, Point Break and the movie that changed his career Dirty Dancing. He is scheduled to continue working through his treatment.

Hilton's Being Charged with More Than Bills

It’s no surprise that the Hilton sisters lead a wild life, but who knew that their brother did the same. The Los Angeles District Attorney on Thursday formally charged 18-year-old Barron Hilton with four misdemeanors stemming from his early morning arrest last month in Malibu. Hilton was arrested just after 8 a.m. on February 12 after getting pulled over by a sheriff's deputy on Pacific Coast Highway. According to the arrest report, the minor blew a 0.14 percent blood-alcohol reading, nearly double the legal limit for someone over 21, let alone just 18. He was also in possession of a fake ID, authorities said. He was with a girl in his Mercedes E350 and cops tracked him down after he sideswiped a truck and kept driving.
His bail was posted at $5,000 but it increased to $20,000 because Hilton was suspected of driving with a forged license which is a much more serious crime. After nine hours of police custody, Hilton’s friends pulled their money together to bail him out after his parents and sisters would not. I think that they should have helped him out. That family knows about screwing up and even being in jail because of Paris. They have so much money and I know that what he did was wrong but they still should have helped him. He is family after all.
