Oprah Winfrey

During a fundraiser for the Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School in Baltimore, Oprah Winfrey talks about how fantastic it was that shes ao rich.

I have lots of things, like all these Manolo Blahniks. I have all that and I think it’s great. I’m not one of those people like, ‘Well, we must renounce ourselves.’ No, I have a closet full of shoes and it’s a good thing.

I was coming back from Africa on one of my trips. I had taken one of my wealthy friends with me. She said, ‘Don’t you just feel guilty? Don’t you just feel terrible?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t. I do not know how me being destitute is going to help them.’ Then I said when we got home, ‘I’m going home to sleep on my Pratesi sheets right now and I’ll feel good about it.’

There you have it people, being rich is great, if you ever become rich don’t feel guilty about being rich.

Lindsay Lohan

Louis Vuitton has has came to their senses and decided to not go with Lindsay Lohan as the replacement for Gisele Bundchen. The fashion house has decided to go with supermodel and allegedly assistant beater Naomi Campbell.

Early rumor had Lindsay as the future new face of Louis Vuitton, due to designer Marc Jacobs being good friends with her. All that changed when the bosses thought Lindsay was too American for their global brand.

We all know why Naomi was really chosen to do this, any publicity is good publicity. Remember Kate Moss and post cocaine video tape scandal.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise

Katie Holmes has agreed to the ban of not talking to her new born baby for seven whole days. This ban is part of the Scientology’s creed:

All followers must live by, that new born babies must not hear their mother speak for a week so they will not associate their voice with the trauma of birth.

Not sure about the part of the creed that says the baby should:

be wrapped somewhat tightly in a warm blanket, very soft, and then left alone for a day or so

What kind of religion suggest you leave your new born baby to fend for itself the first few days of entering Earth.

Besides not talking to the baby, Katie has also agreed to give birth in complete silence and to have limited contact afterwards. All this according to a source from Closer magazine:

Katie respects Tom’s dedication to Scientology. She is devoted to him and wants to bring up the child the Scientology way.

Only in America can you sue someone else for your own stupidity. A Drug Enforcement Administration agent by the name of Lee Paige has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government for distributing the embarrassing video of him shooting his own foot during a drug education presentation.

The funny part of the video was Paige saying, “I am the only one in this room professional enough that I know of, to carry this Glock 40.” That was before he went and shot his own foot. Luckily he didn’t point that gun at some student thinking he had already empty the chamber.

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to get the protection of wild lions. I must not be sleeping enough, because I must be reading things. According to a Namibian newspaper:

the pair had moved from a luxury beach resort in the harbor town of Walvisbay to a lodge in the Etosha National Game Park in northern Namibia, where lions are a top tourist draw and would help deter intruders trying to photograph the couple.

Sounds like Angelina is one confused and pregnant mommy, first there was talks of giving birth in France as a tribute to her mother. Maybe after watching the Lion King, Angelina got the idea of using lions to scare the paparazzi away.

The hip-hop couple Bow Wow and Ciara who had been dating for nearly a year has officially ended. Ciara’s spokeswoman Tracy Nguyen issued the following statement:

I cannot comment on the reason, but can confirm that Ciara and Bow Wow have split.

Nguyen also added that the split were not amicable. The breakup must have really been messy for the spokeswoman to add that extra “not amicable” kick into it. I wonder who cheated on who and who got their ass kicked?

A group of South Korean Christian called Christian Council of Korea has filed a court injunction to ban the Da Vinci Code movie from being shown in the country’s theaters. The group told the court that the movie is “an insult and defamation” to Jesus Christ and the Bible.

According to the BBC the group also added that they were “concerned about the damage that would be caused to individuals’ faith” because of what is in the film.

The film is currently scheduled to open in the country next month after its world premiere at Cannes on May 17.

Until recently, the movie was in limbo due to the writer Dan Brown being sued for plagiarising the story from the book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh. But the London’s High Court found that Brown did not copy the central theme from the two authors book.
