New CW television series Gossip Girl set to begin September 19th

by

A great new television series called Gossip Girl will be premiering on Wednesday September, 19th (9 p.m./ 8 p.m. central time).

This new show is based on the novel series by Cecily von Ziegesar. The CW’s Gossip Girl is an exciting teen drama that takes place in New York’s Upper East Side. If you enjoyed the novels and like television series about young adults you’ll love Gossip Girl.

The cast of characters attend elite academic institutions while dealing with teenage issues such as sex, drugs and other problems faced by young adults. The main characters are best friends Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester). The pair are both romantically interested in Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford).

The group of friends learn of Serena’s return to town through the blog of the secretive Gossip Girl. The show is narrated by the secretive Gossip Girl (voiced by Kristen Bell). Serena, a notorious party girl, is different when she returns to the city and none of her friends understand just what’s going on.

You can see a pre-view of the new show on the CW’s Gossip Girl web page. You can also visit the MySpace Fan Page where you can hook up with others who are anticipating the start of this new show.

Don’t forget to tune into the CW network September 19th to catch the premiere.





Burning Man Festival gets a flaming start

by

Have you ever been to the Burning Man festival? It’s an eight day festival in the Nevada Desert and it takes place from August 27th to September 3rd this year.

One of the highlights of the festival is the burning of a huge 40 foot tall man statue. The statue wasn’t supposed to be set aflame until Saturday, but an arsonist lit the statue and made it a burning man on Tuesday.

There are reports that festival participants were heard chanting “Save the man, save the man!”.

Authorities have charged Paul Addis for torching the statue and have charged him with Arson and a misdemeanor possession of fireworks.

The wooden statue will be rebuilt in time for the scheduled burning at 9 pm Saturday September 1st.

Ever wonder what the stars have on their Mp3 Players?

by

Do you ever read celebrity magazines? Which ones are your favorites? I mostly only read People magazine regularly and I try to get the majority of my celeb news on the net, well … because I try to write about it here too.

One of the sections of celeb mags that I sometimes enjoy is the section where they ask celebs what music is on their mp3 player.

It’s fun to take a moment and guess what kind of style of music you think the star might like before you actually read the answer.

I’m often quite surprised at the celeb choices. Some are more into classical or country music than I would have thought, while some of the older celebs really like rap and pop music when you’d think they’d be listening to classic rock.

Have you read about any surprising music choices lately?

Applegate’s divorce final

by

It’s been confirmed that Christina Applegate’s divorce from her husband Johnathon Schaech, actor, has been finalized.

The couple were married for four years, but were possibly not together that whole time as the decision to end their marriage took place in December 2005.

Schaech, 37, had cited irreconcilable differences. The split seems to have occurred without the usual divorce squabbles that we often hear about. Applegate is apparently worth about 6 million while Schaech is worth 2 million. They didn’t bicker over splitting property although he asked for custody of his cement Buddha.

Christina Applegate is set to appear in a new television show this fall called “Samantha Who?” on ABC. She’s most famous for her role as Kelly Bundy in Married with Children.

Eddie Murphy ackowledges child and pays support

by

brown_murphy180.jpg Actor Eddie Murphy is finally owning up to the fact that he is in fact the father of the baby that Melanie Brown, Former Spice Girl, gave birth to in April.

He and Melanie lunched together last week and shortly after meeting with Brown Murphy’s rep stated that he “acknowledges paternity of the child Angel, and has paid child support to Ms. Brown as well as covering the expenses of her pregnancy.”

Throughout Brown’s pregnancy Murphy had questioned the paternity of the baby, however in June DNA tests were done to establish the fact that the little girl, Angel Iris born on April 3rd, is indeed Eddie Murphy’s child.

Brown and her lawyer Gloria Allred have accused Murphy of not paying “one penny of child support.” Now that paternity has been established Melanie Brown will be seeking sole custody.

Murphy is already the father of five children whom he had with former wife Nicole Murphy. Their divorce was recently finalized and Murphy is now engaged to Tracey Edmonds.
