Celebrity Gossip: Surfing Celebrities get a scare

Some surf-loving celebrities have had more to worry about lately than voracious fans - like becoming fish food! A popular surfing hotspot, Sunset Beach, has suffered a rash of scary sightings lately, with a 10-foot long great white shark cruising through the waves and leaping out of the water. Sunset Beach is one of several beaches located in that area of the coast. These area beaches are frequented by several celebs, including Matthew McConaughey, Orlando Bloom, Cameron Diaz, Anthony Kiedis, Helen Hunt and more. Hopefully, the shark will move on soon and the celeb surfing can resume.

Well-known British royal Prince Harry is back once again with his on-again, off-again flame, Chelsy Davy. Prince Harry, 25, and Davy, 23, met up for dinner and some clubbing at London hotspot Beach Blanket Babylon. Both Princes Harry and William have had some trouble in their love lives lately, with William on and off again with longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton. Harry, who recently passed his British air force piloting exams, is rumored to have been seeing Davy again quietly for several weeks.

Is Penelope Cruz pregnant? That's what celebrity gossip columnists and fellow celebs are trying to figure out. Cruz, 35, notched the gossip up to fever pitch Sunday night when she appeared for the premiere of her new movie, Broken Embraces. The Spanish actress wore a layered black gown, along with an enormous sapphire and diamond ring. Cruz refused to comment on her personal life, as usual, leaving columnists and photogs to continue the speculation.

Not only did singer Christina Milian get a new husband this month, but she is also going to be getting another new addition to her family as well. US magazine has confirmed that the singer is pregnant with her first child. She and rapper The Dream just married on September 4 and now they are expecting their first child together next year. The couple got engaged two years ago and was already planning on getting married when they found out that Christina was pregnant. A source told US, "The pregnancy was a surprise, but they were getting married regardless." The couple both have said in interviews that they would love to have children someday.

In other celebrity baby news, Grey's Anatomy actress Katherine Heigl and her husband singer Josh Kelley are adopting a 10-month-old girl from Korea who they have named Naleigh. The actress who wed in December 2007 told USA Today, "I'm done with the whole idea of having my own children. It doesn't seem like any fun. I don't think it's necessary to go through all of that." Heigl also revealed what the name of her daughter means on The Ellen DeGeneres show saying, "I am naming her after my mother and sister Nancy, Leigh," she said. "So we call her Naleigh." Heigl will be taking a 5 episode break from Grey's Anatomy to film her movie Life As We Know It.

One celebrity that doesn't have any baby news is Penelope Cruz. There have been rumors circulating around for the past few months that the actress was expecting a child with her boyfriend Javier Bardem. The actress has now confirmed at the Toronto Film Festival that she is not pregnant. She told USA Today, "I start getting some presents from friends saying, 'Congratulations, you're pregnant.' And I say, 'No, I'm not, so return the presents. It's amazing." The star was also seen smoking cigarettes with her friend and actress Salma Hayek, which hopefully is another clue that she is not pregnant. It appears that anytime a celebrity gains 2 pounds or wears an unflattering dress she automatically is pregnant!

Celebrity Gossip: Salma Hayek Ties the Knot for the Second Time This Year

Salma Hayek has officially tied the knot (for the second time) with French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, and the beautiful wedding took place in Venice, Italy on April 25, 2009. The couple exchanged vows at La Fenice, one of Venice's historic opera houses. Valentina, the couples' 19-month-old-daughter, played her part as the flower girl, and Francois-Henri's son and daughter, ages 10 and 8, helped with the ceremonies. Over 150 guests attended this celebrity wedding, and the VIP guest list included the likes of Charlize Theron, France's former President Jacques Chirac, Penelope Cruz, Anna Wintour and Woody Harrelson.

The theme of this fabulous event was even more romantic with the 'The Carnival in Venice' masked ball; guests were asked to dress head to toe in black, and sport a gold mask as soon as they arrived at the gates. Salma Hayek arrived in a beautiful navy and blue gown and a pair of criss-cross strap stiletto sandals. The ball took place in an historic courtyard, a place that was once used as a trading spot and marketplace by merchants during the 15th century. It was a grand event that gave guests a chance to have fun and dance under the stars.

Interestingly enough, this was the couple's second wedding celebration of the year. The first wedding took place over Valentine's Day in Paris, but Wedding Number Two was designed just for Italy and brought together the couple's closest family and friends for a fun adventure through Venice's most notable sights. The rehearsal dinner took place at the Punta Della Dogana, a regal building that guards the south entry of the Grand Canal in Venice.

People Magazine reports that this wedding cost nearly $2 million; Salma Hayek wore a stunning Balenciaga wedding gown by Nicholas Ghesquiere, and she carried a bouquet of orchids and stephanotis covered with crystals.

The couple's guests were given a grand tour of Italy the day they arrived, and were spotted all over the city doing some last-minute shopping, enjoying some classic Italian food at local eateries, and soaking up the sun. It was an extravagant and joyful weekend that gave both the wedding guests and the happy couple a chance to enjoy the best of beautiful Venice.

Celebrity Style: Stars Ditching Dresses for Suits

Apr 21, 2009 by Tiffany B.

Celebrity women are ditching the dresses on the red carpet and instead are sporting power suits. In the past couple of months, there has been an increase of women celebrities wearing suits to red carpet events instead of the normal dress. Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Penelope Cruz, Naomi Watts, Anne Hathaway, Kate Winslet, and Eva Longoria Parker have all worn suits to a red carpet event within the past couple of weeks. Another big celebrity that has been seen wearing a couple of different suits is Jennifer Aniston.

Celebrities seem to be making the suit more of a statement piece rather than a boring outfit that can only be worn to work. Celebrities know how to accessorize their suits and pick out the perfect pieces that flatter their body and make them look feminine.

To keep a suit looking feminine there are several things that celebrities do that you can also follow. The first would be to accessorize with big and bold jewelry. When Jennifer Aniston wore her black suit to the premier of her movie, she paired it with a long gold necklace that attracted attention. Amy Adams added layers of black beaded necklaces to her suit. For a look like Jennifer Aniston's try a necklace like this one by Roberto Cavalli.

Another way that celebrities like to keep their suits looking feminine and not like they are wearing their husband's suit are with tops that scream sexy and sleek. Again, look back at Jennifer Aniston's suit. She paired a black suit and wore a low cut black top underneath to add the hint of cleavage and sexiness to the outfit. Anne Hathaway also paired her black suit with a plain low-cut shell underneath which provided her with that added touch. If you don't want to go the low cut route, you can do what Naomi Watts did and pair the suit with a feminine and flirty blouse. Try blouses that have ruffles, ties, or are sheer for that added charm to the suit.
