Jessica Simpson: Girl How'd U Get In Them Jeans???





Jessica Simpson was once a sexy young pop star who starred in her own reality TV show about her and former hubby Nick Lachey. She had it all; great looks, a super hot and successful husband and a music career of her own. But sadly piece by piece it seemed to all be falling apart for miss Simpson, in early 2005 she filed for divorce from her husband which she says was due to" irreconcilable differences" and requested that her last name be changed back to Simpson. Since then, her music career has seemed to be down in the dumps as well, and finally in late 2007 she began to move in a new direction with her singing. Her country music album, "Do You Know” was expected to bring her career back to a high note but it has been unsuccessful. Simpson has been opening for Rascal Flatts this year and has often been flubbing lines or forgetting lyrics altogether. Finally, at the start of this month she was dropped from her record label, Sony Nashville. She was also a no-show at the country music awards.... Well at least she has her looks to fall back on... right? Maybe not! Throughout this worldwind of events Miss Simpson has been packing on the pounds. The controversy all began when Jessica showed up to the kiss country chili cookout, in Florida, where she was to perform some of the songs from her new country album. She came out on stage in high wasted mommy jeans and two belts??? Her fans were shocked. How could she let her self go like this and of all things what was she wearing!!!! I mean if your gonna be over weight be over weight in style :) It was not long before everywhere you went someone was talking about how big Jessica had gotten... I mean this was a tragedy for her to have gained like this much weight! She actually looked human, what was she thinking? I mean she is a star or at least she was at one time... and we expect them to be perfect.

Wow, How low can we go ppl... the girl has had it pretty rough for the last few years, I mean you lose your husband and your career and see if your ass is the same size... yeah that’s what I thought. Also, who's business is it any way. How sad are your lives when all you can obsess about is how much weight other ppl have gained or lost. It must be pretty important that Jessica Simpson is a perfect size two her entire life. Don't ppl have more important things to worry about? I mean I could understand ppl being concerned if her health was at risk, but what does the girl weigh, 120 pounds??? I don't think we need to call the bariatric specialist just yet :)



The newest on RhiChri (Rhianna and Chris Brown)



As we all know, the incident that occurred between Chris Brown and Rhianna before the Grammy’s has been the talk of Hollywood gossip. But what really happened? Some say that Rhianna was pregnant, while others say she and Brown had it out pretty bad in his rented Lamborghini, which caused Rhianna to allegedly have two black eyes and some broken teeth. As we all know from previous statements, Rhianna is very jealous when other girls are around Chris. But who wouldn’t?! I mean come on, he is a total hottie! After this incident occurred, many outings that the couple was to attend were cancelled including Chris’s NBA All-Star appearance and Rhianna’s 21st Birthday bash. So what is new with these seemingly troubled couple? Well, to start, speculations have been floating around that the two are back together! Chris was spotted leaving Rhianna’s hotel in the wee hours of the morning. Rhianna has also been house shopping in LA and word has it she has been looking at one of Christina Aguilera’s old pad! As we all know, the couple purchased a house together a few months prior to the incident and it is still getting renovated. I wonder who will have the rights to that house? The 2 newest Rhianna stories include the fact that she is prancing around LA with a giant rock on her hand (see above photo). Rumours have been going around saying that her and Brown are engaged and does this ring make all of those rumours true? This too could be a publicity stunt, who knows with this chick. She seems to have fallen off the wagon. She recently flew New York tattoo artist BangBang out to her LA home to give her the new ink. Her new tattoos include 3 (from what we can see) handguns on her shoulders and underarm. What is this girl thinking?! Anyway, stay tuned for the hottest gossip on the Rhianna and Chris crisis including the truth on whether or not Brown will be publicly apologizing on the Oprah show.
With luv, therealgossipgirls xox

Incidents that occur in the public eye similar to the Chris Brown and Rhianna story is somewhat disturbing to us, as viewers. Many girls look up to Rhianna and with the possibly of her taking Brown back after the things he has done, shows girls in our society that is it OK to put up with domestic abuse when this is not the case. Also,what about the Rhianna and Chris Brown fans out there? It is extremely dissapointing knowing that your favorite singer has allegedly beat the crap out of his girlfriend, or that your favorite singer has allowed her boyfriend to do such a thing. This incident has made me, as a fan, look at these people in a different light. We seem to think that celebrities are untouchable and that they live in a fantasy world. Sure they have all the money, cars, clothes and houses one could want but are they truely happy? This occurance proves no, they really aren't. Celebrities are human and bad, everyday things do happen to them no matter the amount of money they are worth. This makes me question whether or not celebrities marry for love? Ever notice that they never marry a regular joe smoe off the street. It seems to me that the ideal Hollywood wedding is to marry someone who will not only bring upon more wealth but also more publicity. Why? Simply because we are the viewers/fans are obsessed with the way in which these people live their daily lives. But can you blame us? Paparazzi and tabloids feed into our obsession over these people.

The Lindsay Lohan Saga



Once again Lindsay Lohan is in the public eye. She began her celebrity career with leading roles in movies such as Parent Trap and Mean Girls. With her role in the popular movie Mean Girls, she set a positive example to girls everywhere. But this, as we all know, didn’t last too long. She began to binge drink and was caught by the paparazzi on many occasions partying into the wee hours of the morning with wild girls such as Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. Pictures of Lohan clearly stoned were published soon after the drunken ones. It was obviously this girl was in a downward spiral and would be hitting rock bottom soon. Lohan’s weight also became a huge issue. She was nothing more then skin and bones and was then soon admitted into rehab for her drug and alcohol problems. The newest juice on Lindsay Lohan is that she is now a lesbian. She has come out and told the public her girlfriend, Samantha Ronson and her are a serious couple and seem to be on and off again like every other celebrity relationship. What possibly could Lohan do next? Stay tuned!

Within today's society, we, as viewers, are obsessed with the rise and fall of celebrities. The biggest stories are the ones in which young celebrities grow up in the spotlight and once they hit their teens crash. These kids are in the public eye, with the entire world commenting on the way in which they live their life. The positive impact that Lohan used to have on girls was good in the way in which she wasn't skinny, like the girls in the magazines. She didn't have bleach blonde hair. She was a redhead with freakles, who wore clothes that were bigger than a 2. This positive impact quickly changed as she fell ino the "celebrity trap". She began to lose weight as a rapid speed, was wrapped up in the wrong crowd and was engaging in drugs and alcohol on a regular basis. This lifestyle that caused Lohan and Spears and many other celebrity girls to fall off proves to the public that living the celebrity lifestyle isn't all it is cracked up to be.

The Britney Spears Meltdown.



Once a beautiful, innocent, talented singer, turned into a drug-crazed, out of control mother- within only two years. After having two children (Sean Preston and Jayden James) and suffering through a harsh divorce with ex-husband Kevin Federline, Britney Spears' life took a complete turn for the worse. She was constantly in and out of court fighting for custody for her two sons. Unfortunately, full custody was given to Federline. Following this, Britney began the ultimate meltdown. She was out everynight partying, drinking and doing drugs. She was in and out of rehab institutions, never completing a full treatment. Her musical performances also suffered as everyone began to ridicule and question her talent. During her drug and alcohol abuse she visited court several times for various tickets and prosecutions, and she even decided to shave off her hair. Not long ago though, she had her own reality show where she appeared to have come out of her drug induced life and began making good music once again. This is merely a general overview of the life Britney lived for the past two years - for a more indepth timeline :

Britney Spears was once a beautiful and talented singer, she was undoubtedly an idol for teenage girls everywhere. So what happened to her? Britney completely forgot who she was and lost complete control of herself and her life. She had it all and was on the road to having even more, however, wealth, fame, and popularity corrupted her "perfect" life. Other than drugs and some bad happenings, what else is to blame for her downward spiral? Fame pushed Britney to her breaking point and caused her to "lose her mind". The constant attention, paparazzi, and pressure was too much for her. To make matters worse, she had A LOT of money and not much to do with it, thus, she invested it in drugs, partying, and paying for various tickets. She is the perfect example that fame and money are dangerous. Unfortunately, society seems to be obsessed with these two things. People will do anything for money and people will do anything for a headline. Nadia Sulaiman decided to have 14 children in order to gain fame and money. This crave for popularity and wealth has gotten so out of control that people will do anything, regardless of who they use or who they hurt. Britney Spears hurt her children, however, she hurt herself even more. Her story is also a perfect example of how society craves celebrity gossip. Not one person was unaware of what was happening to Britney Spears and her crazed antics. It is almost as if we are more satisfied with ourselves when we hear of the problems celebrities are facing. It is almost disgusting to think that this is something that helps us get through our day. Society appears to have become a corrupt gathering of men and women clinging to the sadness of another just to have something to talk about or laugh at. Though I, myself, am positive that Britney Spears is just crazy, I am saddened to think that fame and money is what ruined her life. I am saddened to think that society has become more crazy than Britney Spears.

Slumdog Millionaire Actress For Sale.


Rafiq Qureshi and his second wife deny the accusation that they attempted to sell their young daughter, Rubina Ali, who starred in the movie Slumdog Millionaire as Latika. Apparently the family "got nothing" from the film. British tabloid staff pretended to be a wealthy Arab Sheikh that wanted to to adopt Rubina and take her to live in Dubai. Qureshi demanded roughly $296 000 for this "Oscar child". After meeting three times with the undercover couple, Qureshi explained "I have to do what's best for me, my family and Rubina's future." Though no further information has been released, Indian police say that there is no real evidence that Qureshi was trying to sell his daughter. The case remains to be investigated further, however, the controversy and story continue.

Oh no, we are definitely NOT obsessed with fame or wealth. How is it that society has begun to turn against their own children to establish a comfortable life for themselves. We believe we have high morals and that greed could never affect us. Those of us who speak these words have yet to be placed in Rafiq's position. Of course, this story may exactly be just that- a story. We look at Rafiq as an evil father with no beliefs and definitely no love for his own daughter. However, everyday we buy overpriced magazines to read the juicy hollywood gossip. Every chance we have we purchase pricey concert tickets just to see a celebrity in "real life". Every day we reestablish our life plan: do good in school and finish as fast as possible, look for the highest paying job when done school, save money so we can buy a big house and nice car. So what makes us so different than Rafiq? Well, other than the obvious, we would never attempt to sell our own children just to make money and possibly make headlines (also known as become famous). Though the Qureshi family may live in one of the poorest and harshest places in the world, it is no excuse for what Rafiq attempted to accomplish. This is merely a great example of how obsessed we ALL are with fame and money. The lengths that both men and women take for money or power is indescribable. Society is not only obsessed with fame, we are run by it. The amount of people that this story has reached also proves how easily we are persuaded by the media. We now live in a world where anything is possible, epecially if wealth or fame is the end result of our wrong doings.
