Tiger Woods - Drama, Drama, and MORE Drama

If you haven't heard of the drama going down with Tiger Woods and his wife Elin in the past couple of days, where have you been? It seems like every couple of hours, there's a new update on the drama that is unfolding between the couple.

To start off the string, early last week it was reported that Tiger was having an affair with a woman named Rachel Uchitel. Then, in the wee hours of Friday morning, he got into a minor accident in front of his house, hitting a fire extinguisher and tree (who does that??), when his wife miracously comes to the rescue, busting out his back window with a golf club to save him. But wait, there's more! Not too long after the crash was reported, many reports were then linking the two events, saying that Tiger and Elin were in an argument, causing him to leave, and Elin to rush out behind him in a rage and bust the back window. THEN today, several reports surfaced of police trying to contact Woods regarding the crash. He then responded, releasing a statement basically saying he was fine and to leave him alone (with no response to the affair accusations). Hours after his statement was released, and the latest to add to the string of drama (I'm sure there will be more), Tiger has BACKED OUT of his last scheduled tounament of the year in California due to "injuries sustained in a one-car accident". *whew* Now THAT is alot of drama to happen within a week's time. I need to take a breath after all that! OK... here goes my thoughts..

Drama #1: Affair accusation - both sides (Tiger and Rachel) are denying that the reports are true, but then, Drama #2 happens. How in the world can you casually crash into a tree and fire hydrant at or around 2 a.m. if you are not a.) under the influence of something or b.) running from your wife who is enraged, rightfully so, about learning the truth of your affair. I can't believe Tiger when he says it was just a casual accident; especially after he denied talking to police about the accident. He is definately hiding something, and I am leaning towards the affair side of things. Elin may have taken the Britney Spears Craziness route by bashing his window with a golf club (at least Elin didn't shave her head), but ... how the hell would you feel to learn through the press about an affair your husband is having?! And then to top everything off, Tiger pulls out of the tournament?! The only reasoning that comes to mind for that is not what he claims - of injuries due to an accident (which, by the way, if you're going less than 30 mph and only get scratches on your face, how does that make you incapable of swinging a golf club? - IT DOESN'T). But it is signs of his wife being so damn pissed off at him that she threatens to leave him, and he stays home so she can't leave while he's out. If I were her, I sure as hell would!

I am amazed at all that Tiger has gone through in the past week, but I have to say that I'm fully on Elin's side! What do you think?

Ashley Greene aka Alice in Twilight

I'm sure we've all seen pictures, or at least heard of by now, of all the cast of The Twilight Saga. For me though, I am drawn to one cast member more than others, Ashley Greene. She is an amazing actress, beautiful, and just an all around likable person. It is a little weird, though, to see someone star in movies and be on the covers of magazines, when she used to walk the halls of your highschool with you. Yes, I shared some classes with Ashley, and maybe that's why I'm drawn to her. Part of me still can't believe that someone from Jacksonville, Florida could be a star and so successful in Hollywood. There have been others that went to Wolfson High that dabbled in the LA Scene, but none that have had the success that Ashley has had. This aspires me. Aspires me to reach for my goals and do what I love doing, no matter the cost and eventually it will pay off. Seeing what her success has brought her, and where she is going with that success, makes me just want to watch her more and more in awe (and maybe slight jealousy). Having appeared in Maxim, not once, but twice now.... Ashley, I say to you, keep it up. You're an amazing person. Even though we were never that close, more acquaintences than friends, you have inspired me to reach for my dreams and goals. I wish you all the more success in whatever the future may bring for you!

White House Party Crashers

A few days ago, it was reported that a couple was able to get into an invite-only dinner party at the white house, mingling with guests and taking pictures with various people without arousing suspicion from security. This couple, aspiring to star on a new Reality TV Show, Housewives of Washington, D.C., even managed to get some pictures with the Marines who were stationed there at the party to keep unwanted guests out!! Later, those pictures were then posted on facebook. Hearing this news somewhat disturbed me. If security is handed a list with over 300 names on it, the actual people that were invited, do they actually check the list as people line up to get in? What if this weren't just a harmless couple trying to mingle with the VP and Indian prime minister? What if they were trying to get in as a test for future endeavers that might be more harmful? The 'what ifs' could continue on... So naturally, when word was released that the Secret Service was looking into the couple.. I felt relieved. If it was that easy to get into a White House Dinner Party, that was supposed to be invite only, then how easy would it be for a dangerous person(s) to put our country in a crisis... again. I think the Secret Service seriously needs to reevaluate their sense of security for the smaller events. Seems that while they have focused so much time and attention on the larger venues and might have lacked on the smaller ones. Experts say the couple could go to jail for trespassing and face a felony for misrepresentation, and I hope they do. Justice needs to be served..

White House Turkey Spared

A turkey that was delivered to the White House, named Courage, was pardoned by President Obama, thanks to daughters Sasha and Malia. The two did not want the turkey slain, so instead, Courage the Turkey will be Grand Marshall of the Thanksgiving Parade in Disneyland. That's one lucky turkey! In other Presidential turkey day news, on Thanksgiving Eve, the Obamas volunteered at Martha's Table House to hand out turkeys and groceries to families in need. This is the part of Obamas that I like.. going out of their way to help people in need, other than just blabbing behind a microphone about how you're going to GET people to do that for you...

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Now let's go eat lots of turkey!

Courteney Cox Resumes Filming of Cougar Town

Courteney Cox will resume filming of her show, Cougar Town on November 30th. Glad everyone is okay, whatever the emergency matter was, and glad filming will resume.

This show is the funniest I've seen in a long time! I'm so happy!

Adam Lambert - "That's Discrimination"

Adam Lambert was expected to wow everyone with his closing performance at the American Music Awards Sunday night, but was it the wow everyone was expecting? Adam shared an onstage kiss with a male keyboardist, and if that wasn't enough, some 'bump and grind' dancing was shared with another male cast member. Earlier this year in Rolling Stone Magazine, Adam Lambert came out of the closet, so to speak, so this should not come to a surprise to anyone. I know it didn't to me. But what does come to a surprise was that the TV Network then edited and cut out the parts of his performance that portrayed his selective lifestyle. Adam Lambert is now claiming 'discrimination', and I have to say that I agree with him on this one. Yes, I have been an Adam Lambert fan since the first time we saw him at the American Idol Auditions, but that is not what puts me on his side. A few years ago, wasn't it the Video Music Awards where Madonna and Britney Spears shared an onstage kiss?? Was that edited for playback? I don't think so. This society seems to be okay with a little girl on girl action, but not okay with the reverse aspect. I'm not saying I'm for or against anything, but I do believe that people have a choice on how they choose to live their life, and we must respect their decisions and accept them for who they are. There are probably many people out there who disagree with me, and that's ok. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But this is America people! The land of the free! Doesn't that include freedom to live your life how you want? He's not commiting a crime, not hurting anyone. I can see that I'm getting off on a tanget, so I'll wrap this up quick. For years, women artists have been living their lives provocativly in the spotlight, and no censorship or editing was made. For this to happen now, when a male is simply doing the same as what women have done for years, is just not right. Adam Lambert is right in his choice of words, It's just plain discrimination!

Jon & Kate Gosselin

So it seems the divorce of Jon and Kate Gosselin has just about come to a close. At their all day mediation hearing on Saturday, Jon showed up with a bouquet of roses for Kate. He called it a 'peace offering', but Kate refused to accept the gift. I have one thought about this... Why would you give your soon to be ex-wife a 'peace offering' on the day that your marriage of 10 years is coming to a close? Kate seemed to think it was more of Jon commiting another one if his infamous publicity stunts, and to be honest, I have to agree with her! After everything he's done to her through the media, ie: his public relationship with new girlfriend Haley, his 'fling' with 'the other kate', his accusations of Kate spending her part of their money on manicures and coffee... the list goes on. In regards to the money, a manicure and coffee is alot better than spending God knows how much on a trip to some tropical paradise with a new lover, when you just announced separation from your spouse two weeks from then. Jon is a complete scumbag and the gesture of bringing roses on the final day of their marriage proves it! I could go on and on, but I think you guys get the point. I know this won't be the last we see of these two, famous for their eight kids, but I hope from here on out, things are somewhat positive (mainly on Kate's side)....

Courteney Cox Halts Filming of Cougar Town

I am very sad to hear that Courteney Cox has had a family emergency and has halted the filming of Cougar Town. This show was freakin hilarious! If you haven't watched it, you should start once filming resumes! I hope it's sooner rather than later...

Heidi Klum Takes Seal's Last Name

oooh oooh!! This just proves what I said in my earlier post! Friday, it was confirmed that Heidi Klum has officially taken the last name of her husband, Seal!!! She is now, THE Heidi Samuel! Her reasoning: "marriage". You go Heidi!

One of Miley Cyrus' Tour Buses Overturned

Ok so I'll make this quick, because I really don't care too much for Miley, but.. in case you haven't heard, one of Miley's four tour buses (count them.. four, cuz you know she can be four places at once) over turned in North Carolina yesterday. And.. I have to admit, the first question that popped into my head once I read this, Was Miley on the bus?!? (wishful thinking). Miley unfortunately was not on the bus, so I guess this means that 1. we must hear how 'deeply saddened' she is to lose one of her team members. When really, she's thinking, 'Damn, now i'm one bus short! How am I going to liveeee??? Three buses just is NOT enough for me. I mean, I'M MILEY!'

Jordin Sparks Sick

We all remember the Jordin Sparks, winner of American Idol, Season 6. She's cute, got a good set of pipes, and wrote some pretty good songs. But what caught my eye today was that she's in the hospital. Suffering from acute appendicitis, Jordin had to have her appendix removed. *gasp* What does that mean? She's normal... like the rest of us! OMG? A celebrity... is.. normal?? But what I couldnt get over was her twit pic of herself in the hospital bed. That is what made me say awww... You can tell that she's the sweetest person, and just so down to earth. I mean.. look at her, with her teddy bears in hand. I have to say it one more time... awwww! Get well soon Jordin!

Oprah Show Ending

If you haven't heard, Oprah has announced that she will be concluding her show after the next season, which will be the 25th anniversary of The Oprah Show. I'm sure this is sad news to all the stay at home moms out there who look forward to each late afternooon showing, even if it is a rerun that has been seen a million times. But what I cant wait to see, is the specials that are going to take place on the last and final season. I mean, she's given away vacations, cars to every person in the audience, and the list goes on. But... I do have to say, the best so far was the Season 24 Kickoff Dance Party: http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20090908-tows-flash-mob-dance

It's going to be hard to top that, Oprah, but I say.. Hit me with your best shot! Can't wait to see what the final season brings!

Heidi Klum

This woman never ceases to amaze me. Number One: She's always radiant. Number Two: She's always radiant. Number Three: She's always radiant. Even five weeks after having her fourth child, daughter, Lou, she's smiling and struttin her stuff on the runway! She knows she's good at being sexy, and utterly amazing. She loves her husband of almost 5 years now, Seal, and despite their work keeping them miles apart, you can tell their bond is strong.

She started at Victoria's Secret being the model that tried too hard to fit in with the other 'angels', but.. look who's on top now!

Heidi, keep struttin your stuff as we all watch in awe (and maybe some slight jealousy)..

Before She Was Famous: Lady GaGa

Am I the only person in this world that thinks Lady GaGa is a piece of work? I mean, those outfits! I can't imagine what goes through her head when she gets dressed everyday. I wonder... when she's in those get-ups, what if she has a dire need to go to the restroom? Would she have to do the waddle to the restroom with one of her costume artists to help her get out of the contraption?
Anyway.. today I ran across an old video of Lady GaGa, formerly Stephani Germanotta.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM51qOpwcIM
Well, she still does the weird movements and flailing around, but other than that, I thought it was pretty good. Not the best, but something she should have built on. Now only if she could have stuck to that type of clothing.....aka: normal. But.. I guess if she was 'normal', she wouldn't be Lady GaGa, and we wouldn't have anything to write about.

Twilight: New Moon

I thought this was an appropriate first celeb post since today is the opening day of the movie. Ok so New Moon got three out of five stars. Hm... did the movie critics read the book?? All I'm seeing is that Bella (Kristin Stewart) is very 'depressed' in the film because Edward left her, and this makes the whole thing dark and gloomy. Well guys, I'm sorry, but that is exactly what happened in the book. And the number one sign of a good movie making, based on a book, is one that actually follows the book. I may be speaking too soon, since I'm not one of the people who are obsessed and stay up til 12am to see the opening showing time, but I have a pretty good feeling my accusations are not far off.

-Bella, you have a right to be depressed! Dont let them get you down! The man of your dreams has left you!~cough. Ok, let's be real. The number one thing that I am drawn to is her hairline. She dawns a wig due to her role in The Runaways as Joan Jett, which she chopped her hair for... literally. It seems as though she took a razor blade to her hair and just went nuts! In my opinion, I would have worn a wig for THAT role, and kept the natural locks for The Twilight Saga. BUT.. that's just me.

-Now on to Jacob (Taylor Lautner). I have to say that the transformation he made from scrawny indian boy in 'Twilight" to hello muscles werewolf in "New Moon" is impressive. He must have added a good 20 pounds in muscle.. and let's hope he did it the legal way, with working out and weightlifting, as opposed to the illegal way, with steroids! So to Jacob, I mean, Taylor... touche!

-Edward, Edward.. the star of the show... I am quite tired of seeing and hearing so much about you, really. But.. THEN.. I heard his voice. His real voice... a british accent, not leaving much to the imagination. He definately made up for his, I want to be different and not announce my admiration for Kristin Stewart to the world, and won himself some stars in my book. As far as his acting in the movie, well I guess I'll figure that out once I see it.

Until then..

Welcome

So I've decided to take my habit of constant celeb dirt searching and thoughts to a blog. Not sure how this is going to turn out, but here goes nothing!

I call myself the celebista (celebista is my play on fashionista). A fashionista is a person devoted to fashion and fashion clothing, usually particular to high fashion. Hence, a celebista is a person devoted to celebrities and the lifestyle said celebrities live, particular to their routine happenings. Through this blog, I will post my thoughts related to each celeb topic.

My goal after college is to become an entertainment news journalist/reporter. I find nothing more entertaining than reading and watching the latest celebrity highs and lows, and sharing my thoughts and views about them. So without further ado, I will begin my explorations!
