DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - FRIDAY, JUNE 27


*It looks like Madonna is getting a divorce! She met with Paul McCartney's divorce attorney. Guy Ritchie could get a big payoff because Madonna is worth $600 million and there's no pre-nup!

She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment." I hope Heather feels better soon!

Raffaello was arrested for fraud, money laundering and conspiracy to commit wire fraud and could go to prison for life. He has been accused of lying to investors, claiming to be the CFO of the Vatican. Shame on him--using the Pope's name to make business deals! Even though the breakup was painful for Anne, it was the right thing to do because her career is on the rise and she doesn't need that baggage!

*Good news for Jonas Brothers fans--with the huge success of the TV movie Camp Rock this past weekend, the Disney Channel is planning a sequel. A script is in development and the movie should air by next summer.

*Janet Jackson has been talking babies with her man, Jermaine Dupri. Jermaine let it slip that they are planning on trying for a baby after Janet wraps up her world tour.

*Is Gwyneth Paltrow preggers? The rumors are going around after Gwyneth was spotted looking curvier than usual in a clingy dress. Maybe she was just bloated that day!

*Sad news to report: Comedian George Carlin died yesterday of heart failure. He was 71.

*Maxwell Smart toppled The Love Guru at the weekend box office. Get Smart was the #1 movie, taking in $39 million. Kung Fu Panda was #2, followed by The Incredible Hulk and The Love Guru, which only took in $14 million. I saw Get Smart over the weekend and liked it. It won't win an Oscar, but it's fun and I will see any movie with Steve Carell.

*By the looks of their baby shower, Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend Camila Alves are expecting a baby boy this summer. All the gifts were wrapped in blue. That's going to be one good-looking baby!

*Ellen DeGeneres gave Portia DeRossi a pink diamond ring to celebrate their upcoming dream wedding. Ellen said planning a wedding is very stressful. Congrats to Ellen on her Daytime Emmy win for Outstanding Talk Show Host.

*Jessica Simpson may have dissed Carrie Underwood with a T-shirt. Jessica was wearing a shirt that said "Real Girls Eat Meat." Carrie is an outspoken vegetarian. Sources say Jessica is sick of reports saying that her boyfriend, Cowboys Quarterback Tony Romo is getting back together with Carrie.

FASHIONISTAS LOVE MICHELLE OBAMA!


*The dress that Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, wore while she was co-hosting "The View" earlier this week is flying off racks at White House/Black Market stores. I ordered one on the website whitehouseblackmarket.com but it's on back order until the mid-August. You may want to try the WH/BM stores in Atlantic City in the Pier Shops at Caesars and in the Quarter at Tropicana.

DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - THURSDAY, JUNE 19


*People Magazine has named this year’s hottest bachelors--single and sexy men of 2008. Mario Lopez was crowned the hottest bachelor. Other guys who made the list: my cougar crush, American Idol David Cook, Gerard Butler, Chace Crawford , Brody Jenner and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine.

*Despite being a superstar and mother of twins, Jennifer Lopez took time out of her busy schedule to surprise some of her biggest fans. Jennifer made graduation day very special for a lucky group of Staten Island elementary school students on Tuesday. Jennifer dropped into a school for autistic children, where she performed "Let's Get Loud" for a group of eight 10- and 11-year-olds. The kids wrote letters to Jennifer and she was so charmed that she decided to come to their graduation.

*A personalized tattoo is usually the kiss of death for a celebrity relationship, but I hope not in this case. Heidi Klum had "Seal" tattooed on her arm.

*Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins didn't even arrive yet, but Brad and Angie are reportedly already planning to adopt a baby boy from Africa. That would make 7 kids running around! They were going to move forward with the adoption last year, but it was put on hold when Angelina got pregnant.

*Happy 46th Birthday to Paula Abdul

*The Incredible Hulk ruled the weekend box office, taking in over $54 million. Kung Fu Panda fell to #2, followed by The Happening and You Don't Mess With the Zohan.

*High School Musical star Zac Effron doesn't shower and his co-stars are not happy! Zac uses baby wipes, even after working out and playing basketball. I am a baby wipe fan, for certain things, but not as a shower substitute!

*Jennifer Aniston has been telling friends that John Mayer would be a good baby daddy. Jen's biological clock is ticking and she's sick of hearing about the Brangelina twins.

*George Clooney's split from Sarah Larson may have been prompted by breast implants. Sarah enhanced her assets in May and George ditched her soon after. There is hope for us small or average-chested women!

*Lance Armstrong committed a dating "no-no." He attempted to take his girfriend, Kate Hudson to the famous Rao's restaurant in New York City for a romantic dinner, but failed to make a reservation. Even Lance has to wait in line. There is a waiting list for months at Rao's and regulars get priority over out-of-town vistors. The couple eventually went somewhere else for dinner.

*I feel so bad for Jennifer Garner--she's such a good mom, but she accidentally locked her 2-year-old daughter Violet in her S.U.V. Jennifer put Violet in her carseat and closed the door, not realizing that Violet had the keys. She instructed Violet on how to unlock the car and it worked out fine.

*Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are awaiting the arrival of their second child so they have been decorating the nursery. Instead of opting for traditional baby colors, they painted the nursery black (hmmmm.....)

*It's no secret how Victoria Beckham stays so thin--she barely eats! So Britney Spears figured she would give Posh Spice's diet plan a try. Brit has been drinking seaweed shakes to stave off hunger and starts each day with a cup of hot water and lemon.

*Oprah is the most powerful celebrity in the world. She tops Forbes Magazine's annual Celebrity 100 list, followed by Tiger Woods. Two couples made the Top 10--Beyonce and Jay-Z at #4 and #7 and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at #3 and #10.

*Mariah Carey is accepting wedding gifts. Her assistant send out more than 100 e-mails to Mariah's wealthy friends letting them know that Mariah is registered at Bergdorf Goodman. With all of her $$$, does Mariah really need another vase or silver platter?

*A Sex and the City dress is flying off store shelves (photo left.) Women want to dress like the ladies of Sex and the City and this $150 Maggy London dress is more affordable than most of the high-end fashions. The character Miranda wears it with a gold belt in the movie. Most retailers have sold out of the dress, so the designer ordered another 2,000 dresses into production.

*The Smurfs are heading to the big screen! An animated and live action Smurfs movie is in the works. The writers of the Shrek movies are in negotiations to write the screenplay. Who should voice the characters of Papa Smurf and Smurfette? I have suggestions: Martin Sheen and Reese Witherspoon.

*Bride-to-be Fergie is planning a $1.5 million wedding to actor Josh Duhamel. Josh wanted a small, casual ceremony but Fergie is going all out for her walk down the aisle.

*Carrie Underwood is on the cover of the new issue of Cosmopolitan. She said she doesn't consider herself to be sexy because she burps and curses a lot!

*Hollywood insiders say Victoria & David Beckham are among the worst tippers. They got comped at a restaurant and left nothing! On the other hand, Ryan Seacrest is very generous--or he's just bad at math. Seacrest recently left a $500 tip for a $100 tab.

SUMMER FASHION MUST-HAVES


1. Long Dresses: ankle-grazing lengths in retro or floral prints are covered up, yet cool and breezy

2. Short Shorts: from an edgy high-waisted style to tailored versions, they're easy to dress up or down

3. Scarves: a dramatic but lightweight swath around the neck adds an immediate touch of Euro cool

4. Cover-ups: after sunset, ditch the swimsuit and wear the dress alone

*Is "Maniston" already over? Jennifer Aniston was spotted dining with a mystery man--not John Mayer. A source said she looked happy and was laughing with her date. I'm not ready to give up on John and Jen yet--maybe she was just having dinner with a friend.

*Shania Twain is opening up to fans for the first time about divorcing Mutt Lange, her hubby of 14 years. Shania thanked fans for their support, saying she needs time to heal her broken heart.

This is my therapy, my passion, and my love. I look forward to sharing it with all of you as I begin this new journey."

*Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer haven't been dating very long, but they are already thinking about getting matching tattoos. Jennifer wants to add a heart to the one she already has on her stomach.
