Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi say "I do," John Mayer says too much and Madonna turns 50 in style

Just Married!

According to reports, funny gal, Ellen DeGeneres, tied the knot with longtime girlfriend, Portia de Rossi, at the couple's Beverly Hills manse this weekend. De Rossi is said to have worn a light pink Cinderella-esque gown to the intimate Saturday evening ceremony, while her comedian counterpart stayed true to her usual style in a white pantsuit. Reports say that the couple made their 4-year-long relationship official amongst about 20 guests -- including the company of the duo's two dogs. Congratulations to the happy newlyweds!

Made-for-TV Political Scandal

John Edwards admits to affair, the world mourns two peerless entertainers and Britney stages a comeback

The Dirty Politicians' Club Gets a New Member

Former Democratic presidential petitioner, John Edwards, faced the music last week and finally admitted to having an extramarital affair with filmmaker Rielle Hunter. The one-time North Carolina senator offered his salacious confession to ABC's Nightline, and subsequently, wife, Elizabeth Edwards, publicly expressed support for her husband. The deed gets even more shameless, as Mrs. Edwards was diagnosed with an incurable form of cancer last year. Yet another incident to add to the skeezy politician files.

Hollywood Family Values

7.29 Apple Pitt-Christian Bale-152x130.jpg

Celeb happenings this week include drama with Christian Bale, Kim Kardashian, and the Bachelor

Starring in a hit movie and having a knock-down drag-out brawl with family members might be hard for some people to handle, but not for Christian Bale. Batman apparently had some sort of a confrontation with his mom and sister in a London hotel that escalated to the point that mom and sis went to the cops. This supposedly all started when Mom said something insulting about Bale's wife, Sibi. The weirdest part to us isn't the lashing out at family members or the notion of said family members reporting Bale to the police, but how the incident somehow brought to light the fact that Sibi was a personal assistant to Winona Ryder. And let's not forget that Bale's step-mom is Gloria Steinem--if only for when you're playing "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" and need to find a way to connect Ryder to Steinem.

Why Married With Children Doesn't Always Work for Celebs

7.21 Apple Pitt-Brad_Angelina.jpg

Babies are born, relationships break, celebs learn from their mistakes

Perhaps because Angelina and Brad's twins finally emerged into the world (with crazy names intact), baby talk was everywhere. First came the news that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are giving Violet a baby sister or brother, followed by the alert that Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn are trying to get to that stage. And we have to ask: is the news cycle so slow that a married couple attempting to have kids is somehow noteworthy?

Hollywood's Making Babies - and Deals

7.15 Apple Pitt-Madonna-header.jpg

Madonna, A-Rod, Ethan Hawke, and David Beckham are all in the news this week...see why.

Madonna, A-Rod and his soon-to-be-ex captivated the celeb-hungry world this week. Never one to miss an opportunity to get his name in print, Jose Canseco chimed in with the news that Madonna wanted him to impregnate her. And look, we wouldn't put it past her. Not only has M had notoriously horrific taste in men--save the ones she actually married--but that ethnic-baby-craving part of her does help make sense of the affair she had with that trainer/father of Lourdes. Still, what really gave the story credence was that Canseco, in his conversation with a reporter about all of this, admitted that his concern in screwing things up with his wife was that "I would lose a lot of money." Ah, priorities.

Celebrity Dish

Could Changing Bedmates be the Result of Brain Defects?
A-Rod, Christie Brinkley, and Peter Cook all have divorce on the brain.

So Madonna and Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez either are or are not having an affair. The whole affair--whether it's an affair or not--sounds a tad confusing, with various ex's shacking up with allegedly sexy musicians. The only thing that isn't complicated, as a matter of fact, is that all of the parties involved have the same manager. Coincidence? Synergy? A PR strategy? Who the hell knows? Madonna is, of course, no stranger to stepping out with surprising folks but she's also a controversy-creator bar none. The only loser in this scenario (save Guy Ritchie) may well be Kaballah. Because it can't be great for business when your poster child is entertaining men whose wives have just given birth, can it?

Splitsville in Hollywood

7.1-Apple-Pitt-_Madonna.jpg

Losing Their Religion (Not to Mention Their Love and Freedom)...It was bound to happen sometime.

We're talking, of course, about the fact that celebrities blindly following the Kaballah trend were going to have to wake up at some point to the fact that giving a tenth of your income to your religion, "reading" a religious text by scanning your finger over it and wearing a little red string didn't make a lot of sense.

Hollywood is BAD: Birth, Anger and Divorce Rule LaLa Land This Week

6.24apple-pit_152_130.jpg

Celebs in the news this week are Jamie Lynn, Naomi Campbell, and Denise Richards.

The big news of the week is that the kid sister of Britney Spears at long last gave birth. Is it us or does it seem like she's been pregnant for roughly 877 years? Happily, Jamie Lynn seems to be on-again with Baby Daddy Casey Aldridge (or perhaps he's just been put on the Spears spending plan?) Either way, the pipe layer took her home from the hospital, though Big Sis was also there for the event (and, in typical form, created some hoopla when she left town).

Loose Lips Sink Hollywood Ships

6.16-apple-pittHeader.jpg

If there's anything celebrities are even worse at than maintaining healthy relationships, it's keeping their mouths shut about them -- not to mention about everything else.

It probably comes as no surprise to anyone that Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen are essentially verging on setting the world record for mud slinging, despite having sworn they'd chill on even mentioning one another's names. (We have to ask: what kind of a mind actually believes that calling someone "whatsherface" means you're not actually talking about her?)

Always a Dull Moment

6.9-apple-pitt-Header.jpg

Some Hollywood couples are boring no matter what they do. Others need only to breath and we're kept entertained.

We have great news for everyone who's so thoroughly anaesthetized by the Reese Witherspoon-Jake Gyllenhaal union that they've found themselves simply struggling to stay awake while perusing articles about what the World's Least Interesting Couple does with their time. But now it's time to focus on Reese's ex, Ryan. While he's clearly not going to be joining Mensa anytime soon (though proud Mensa member Sharon Stone may not be doing a whole lot lately to help the group maintain that image that it's for smart people), his body alone makes him worth caring about in our book. And guess what? He's given us another reason--by stepping out semi-officially with the woman who allegedly busted up his marriage, Aussie plain Jane Abbie Cornish. According to one of those sources that always seem to be around when celebrity couples are all over each other, "he was all over her" at Teddy's in Hollywood.
