The woman who once worked for Britney Spears for ten years has gotten herself a new job. Felicia ‘Fe’ Culotta has moved on from playing lackey to the pop wreck to playing lackey to the Jonas Brothers. She has a thing for teen superstars, doesn’t she?
The New York Daily News reports that Fe has even enlisted the services of Brit’s former bodyguard, Big Rob, to work for 20-year old Kevin, 18-year old Joe and 15-year old Nick. By her account, Fe started working for Brit when she was 16. I wonder if Mom and Pop Jonas know about this.
After Blake’s downfall last week where he proved positive in a Class A drug test, wife Amy Winehouse has been banned from any visits involving physical contact. The only way the troubled singer can visit her hubby is from behind a glass screen.
Amy, 24, is known to hide drugs in her bird’s-nest hairdo when on stage. She has not visited Fielder-Civil since he failed the random drugs test. A pal said: “She’s paranoid and shaking every time she goes there and has decided to give it a miss for a while.”
Between being suspected of bribery to free hubby, and threatened with kidnap by hubby’s enemies, and now maybe even being thought to smuggle in drugs to hubby; Amy is not having the best of years. Maybe the New Year will improve things…
What a surprise I’m writing about Amy Winehouse again. What could it be this time? Well you wouldn’t guess if you tried…the latest in the Amy drama seems to be a kidnap threat.
We all suspected her hubby wasn’t the best news for her, and we may have been proved right. Not only did Blake fail a recent drug test in prison, meaning he is back to junkie status, but he is in trouble with some gangland mobsters who are threatening to kidnap his wife.
As if Amy and Blake haven’t enough troubles. The mobsters are reportedly squeezing him for a massive £100,000 and if he doesn’t pay up she will be kidnapped.
And with her wandering the streets at the dead of night it won’t be hard….
When you’re playing around with your Photoshop and an actual human being’s picture, the number one rule is to make sure that the finished product still looks like the real thing – just with some improvements. Complete Woman magazine failed to follow the rules.
Ashlee Simpson is the new issue’s cover girl – or at least I think that’s Ashlee Simpson. I could hardly tell anymore. She didn’t do a cover shoot or an interview though. Her publicist said that Ashlee did not pose or give them an interview. “They apparently purchased outtakes from an old photo shoot years ago and elected on their own to retouch the photo as they wanted to. This supposed ‘magazine’ has never reached out to us and we did not cooperate with them in any way at all.”
Were they not schooled about the birds and the bees? Britney Spears’ 16-year old younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears is 12 weeks pregnant. The ‘Zoey 101’ star says that the father is her boyfriend of about a year Casey Aldridge.Jamie and her mom Lynne dished about the pregnancy to OK! magazine. Jamie said that she was in shock and that she actually kept it to herself when she first found out because she said that she needed to work out what she wanted to do. Her mom was very upset when she found out of course, Jamie’s practically still a baby! But after a while, Lynne was very supportive. She’s already dealt with Britney, she can deal with Jamie Lynn too.
British singer Lily Allen has announced her pregnancy. The 22 year old has been dating Ed Simons of Chemical Brothers since September, and the couple says they are “thrilled by the news”.
Hmm, seems like this was planned. In November, Lily gave an interview in which she said she wanted to retire early and start a family. She said, “Maybe I could retire at 25. I’m only going to do one more album.”
Plans are still going forward to release her new album next year, and then we’ll see about this “retirement”. Will it be anything like Celine Dion’s? or Shania Twain’s?
Congrats anyway to the thrilled couple.
Ashley Tisdale has already cancelled her performances on two shows since she had surgery on her nose. Now, the 22-year old ‘High School Musical’ star has made a public apology to her fans and friends in Miami and Philadelphia where she backed out of her Jingle Ball performances.
“I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to be at the holiday shows this weekend. I haven’t fully recovered from my surgery and had to make the difficult decision to cancel the appearances. When my surgery was scheduled, we didn’t think it would be necessary to cancel the shows because my doctor thought I would heal in time. Unfortunately, the deviated septum was more significant than we originally thought so the healing process is taking longer.”
Kelly Clarkson was recently on a Belgium TV show where she experienced a sweet yet somewhat scary fan moment. As the American Idol alum was performing, a fan rushed to the stage and planted a wet kiss on her. The 25-year old signer took the shocking moment in stride and just continued singing as security escorted the fan off the stage. Way to keep her cool!
What’s up next for Kelly? She’ll be kicking off the ‘2 Worlds 2 Voices’ tour on January 17 where she will be teaming up with country singer Reba McEntire. The diva is working hard!
Amy Winehouse was said to have made a suicide pact with hubby Blake after being implicated in the bribery plot to set him loose. But her father says that’s a load of rubbish, saying she is on the road to recovery and would never consider doing such a thing.
Does he read the papers and see the photos? There have been so many ‘White Christmas’ puns linked to photographs of Amy obviously out of it recently are we really supposed to believe she is on the mend?
There is a quote from Scotland Yard that states, “We have no evidence against Amy being involved in any crime. If we had she would have been arrested straight away. But we do want to talk to her about matters, particularly financial ones, which may be important in this case”
Ok, so she might not be put away for life but she still needs to get herself sorted out. After being seen drinking with pals at 6am yesterday, where she seemed emotional and pale, she then flew into a rage at a fan who tried to approach her as she left the bar. This is not how you are supposed to behave.
This has disaster and joke written all over it. ‘The Hills’ “star” Heidi Montag is really trying to make it as a singer as a new single has been released. It’s called ‘Touch Me’ – oh how appropriate.
However, sources are saying that this song was not supposed to be heard. A music industry insider says that “It’s a leak. It is one of a few songs Heidi did while working with David Foster at Warner Bros. However, it is not on her album that is being produced completely by Theron “NEFF-U” Feemster, who recently produced the Mary J. Blige single for the new ipod commercial. And, he has worked with Michael jackson, Dr. Dre, 50cent , Ne-Yo and Eminem in the past.”
Is Heidi going hip hop?
After seeing ‘Crossroads’, would you ever go to watch another of Britney Spears’ movies? Furthermore, would you watch a movie of the pop wreck where she plays the Virgin Mary? NO!
Us is reporting that Brit is being courted for the role of Jesus’ mother in an upcoming film entitled ‘Sweet Baby Jesus’. It’s supposed to be a satire of the nativity story. It goes that Mary is a pregnant 19-year old who doesn’t know how she got knocked up, living in a place called Bethlehem, Maryland.
The movie’s producer, Philippe Rebboah had to convince his partners about it. If she does sign on, he’s going to have to convince her to show up for filming too.
A woman will tell you; when you are pregnant or trying to be, everywhere you look you see happy pregnant women or families with babies. It’s a strange phenomenon. Well it’s happening to me; but it’s everywhere I look in the celebrity world.
Since becoming pregnant I have come across many celeb pregnancies; and here is another one. Let’s give huge congratulations to the Sin City beauty; Jessica Alba. It was revealed this week that she and her boyfriend, Cash Warren, are expecting their first child.
The couple have been dating since 2004 and are said to expect the arrival of the little bundle in the late spring, early summer.
Jessica joins Halle Berry, Nicole Richie and Jennifer Lopez; to name but a few; who announced that they are expecting this year.
Mandy Moore was spotted as she picked up a few photography-related items at Samy’s Camera and then walked to her Prius Hybrid on Monday in Los Angeles, California. Not only does she look like she’s picked up a new hobby, she’s also concerned for the environment.
The 23-year old singer/actress was a recent guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and she spoke about her days when she was 15 years old and got to tour with the hottest boy bands of the time, the Backstreet Boys and Nsync.
She recalled a funny insult from Justin Timberlake when he said “You have big feet for a girl!” Do remember that Mandy is almost 6 feet tall now.
I knew he was unique, but c’mon?
A source, a.k.a. former teen pop sensation Deborah Gibson, tells People that instead of a kiss, Howie gave his new wife Leigh a high-five. She says this took place after they were officially pronounced husband and wife.
Deborah’s take on it? “They really are best friends and that came across throughout the whole ceremony.”
Deborah, for one, is proud of her friend Howie and his new-found married happiness. “He waited until it was the right girl and I’ve watched her patiently wait because he’s been on the road a lot. So the wedding was great to see.”
Justin Timberlake may be done bringing ‘SexyBack’ to the rest of the world once he finished his massive world tour on Thursday at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, United Emirates but the crooner still brought ‘SexyBack’ to LAX airport on Sunday dressed in a blue hoodie and a white Roots cap. JT is home!
The 26-year old singer was escorted by bodyguards to a waiting SUV where a mysterious hand popped up behind him. It could be his girlfriend Jessica Biel. I mean, she has followed him everywhere already. Why not follow him home too? Do take note that this is a girl I’m talking about and not a dog.
In this day of cell phones, you’d think Amy’s mom could’ve just called her up. But no….Mommy Janis felt the need to publish an open letter in Britain’s News of the World. While I might not approve of her tactics, her thoughts were good.
She says to Amy, “Early fame has overwhelmed you. It’s dizzied you and muddled your mind. For a moment, forget you’re a superstar. You’re also young and vulnerable. Remember you’re just an ordinary human being, no stronger than any of the rest of us. You think you’re strong enough to get through this on your own, darling, but you’re not.”
Mommy goes on to talk about Amy’s husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is still in prison. She says that, while she may not approve of Blake, she realizes that Amy chose him and she will not say negative things about him that would hurt Amy.
She ends with, “You know I’m an optimist and that I think, with our help, you will get back on top of things.”
Amy, remember - mother always knows!
Ashlee Simpson has been told by her father that boyfriend Pete Wentz is not welcome in the family home for Christmas. Having been sceptical about the relationship from the start; especially with rumours that Pete had once tried to commit suicide; the former Baptist preacher finally drew the line when Wentz admitted to kissing other men.Well Mr Simpson; I don’t think you are Pete’s type if that’s what worries you?
If one daughter’s love life isn’t enough to meddle with I am sure Joe will have something to say about Jessica’s recent behaviour with new boyfriend Tony Romo. Although Joe was the one to set the pair up in November; the news that they were spotted “rolling around on top of each other” in a nightclub on Saturday make not make Daddy best pleased.
I can’t say that I’d have wanted to peek into Hermione Granger’s wardrobe. Emma Watson, the British actress who has played Harry Potter’s gal pal for years, is showing the U.K. that she’s far from drab.
The 17 year old poseed for a photo spread to be featured in the U.K. version of In Style magazine. Instead of a wand waving child, she’s a cashmere wearing 50’s rock chick.
Emma loves the look! She says, “I wish I could dress like this every day of my life!”
Emma is a busy lady these days. She’s been taking driving lessons while also studying to take her college entrance exams. She’s also gearing up for the upcoming filming of the next Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
I’m glad she traded her robe for a leather jacket and showed us some fashion sense!
Tell me something I didn’t already know.

Actress turned singer Emmy Rossum slipped into a slinky pink Tadashi dress when she showed up for the ‘Movies Rock: A Celebration of Music in Film’ event held at the Kodak Theatre on Sunday in Hollywood.
While she could have also been slated to perform, the 21-year old and ‘Las Vegas’ star Molly Sims only introduced Nicole Scherzinger’s performance of ‘Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend’ from the movie ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’.
