Paris Hilton & Benji Madden Dunzo

'Star' magazine reports
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Say it ain’t so! Over the weekend, rumors began to swirl that Paris Hilton was spied canoodling with her ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos in Miami Beach, FL and now Star magazine is reporting that she and current boyfriend Benji Madden have called it quits. The mag is claiming that Paris gave Benji the heave-ho … according to Star, they’re dunzo, y’all:


It’s splitsville for Paris Hilton and Benji Madden. Days after Paris was “all over” her ex Stavros Niarchos, the heiress dropped the Good Charlotte rocker like a bad habit, telling him he was “too controlling” and that she needed her freedom back, a source tells Star exclusively. Shortly after their breakup, which took place on Nov. 17, Paris let her hair down at Villa nightclub, where she partied with her sister, Nicky, and Nicky’s boyfriend David Katzenberg. The following night she was also without Benji when she hit the hot spot Apple Paris. “Paris was fed up with Benji always telling her what to do and bossing her around,” says the insider. “She couldn’t take his overbearing ways anymore. It was stressing her out. He can be very aggressive and he was just too much trouble.” Benji didn’t take the breakup well, says the source. “He fought for a second chance and asked if they could talk it out but Paris said she was done talking,” reveals the insider. The demise of Paris and Benji’s relationship, after nine months of dating, didn’t happen overnight. “They’ve had “a lot of fights in the past,” says the source. The nail in the coffin was a showdown over Paris’ flirty night out with her ex-boyfriend Stavros on Saturday. “Benji didn’t like it that she spent the evening with Stavros,” says the source. “He blew up and Paris felt victimized. He gave her a lot of grief about that.” They bottom line is that they were just different people. “She felt she couldn’t cut loose and party,” says the source. “He doesn’t drink and doesn’t think she should either. She felt too fenced in.”

HMMM. It would make sense under normal circumstances that Paris would be ready to move on with a new boyfriend (considering that she doesn’t seem to stay attached to anyone person for long) but Benji is such a great guy, she would have to be utterly and completely INSANE to think she could do better. I’m not entirely convinced by this Star magazine report but, as I said, it’s entirely feasible that it could be true. What do y’all think … could Paris and Benji really be dunzo for good?

UPDATE: Life & Style is also reporting the dunzoness of Paris and Benji — tho their report denies that Paris hooked up with Stavros, quoting an “insider” who claims that the break-up reports are true:

It’s all over between Paris Hilton and boyfriend Benji Madden, Life & Style can officially report. “Sadly, it’s true,” Vanessa Fontana, a contestant on Paris’ BFF show, confirms exclusively to Life & Style. “Paris and Benji have split. I love Paris, and I just want her to be happy. I think that they’ll be better as friends.” Vanessa disputed rumors that the split had anything to do with Paris’ brief reunion with ex Stavros Niarchos this past weekend in Miami. “No, nobody else is involved,” she says. “Paris and Benji were loyal and faithful to each other. I was with Paris in Miami, and Stavros came over to our table, and the two of them talked for literally two minutes. It was a friendly conversation. They definitely did not hook up.” Sources say the breakup is due to the basic differences in the couple: Benji is a quiet homebody, while Paris is very social, both personally and professionally. And in recent weeks, the strain was beginning to show. “All of Paris’ friends have noticed that she hasn’t been happy lately,” says a friend. “Benji told Paris he didn’t like the BFFs from her show, and that he disapproves of her friends and doesn’t get along with her sister.” Their work schedules have not helped: Paris regularly travels the world, and is booked with back-to-back projects for the next 12 months, while Benji is currently in the recording studio working on a new Good Charlotte album with his twin, Joel. Paris is said to be devastated by the breakup. “She wishes it could be different,” says the friend. “Benji always treated her like his princess. He’s a really great guy with a big heart and she loves him very much. Maybe at some point in the future, the two of them could try again, but right now, they’re just too different as people.”

I’m still waiting for official confirmation but … it looks like they may really be dunzo for good.

Are SJP & Matthew Broderick Dunzo?

Star magazine seems to think so
Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Star magazine is reporting that Sarah Jessica Parker’s hubby Matthew Broderick was caught cheating and has, as a result, endangered his marriage to SJP. Since this issue of the magazine hit the newsstands, StarMagazine.com has been offline and completely inaccessible. HMMM … could the magazine have gotten the story wrong and subsequently got themselves in a heap o’ trubs? In any event, here is the magazine cover making its bold claims and some deets from the Star magazine coverstory:


Sarah Jessica Parker’s 11 year marriage to Matthew Broderick has been hit by claims he had an affair with a 25-year-old youth worker. American magazine Star alleges the actor had a liaison with the unnamed woman from November to February while Sarah was shooting the big screen film, Sex And The City. Broderick’s spokesperson Simon Hall didn’t deny the allegations, telling the magazine instead: “There will be no comment.” The publication reports the pair met in a Manhattan bar last November and later he was allegedly seen heading to the woman’s apartment carrying wine and flowers. It claims Broderick, 46, told the brunette his relationship with Parker, 43, was “not good”. Parker, who has a five-year-old son, James Wilkie, with the star, has previously admitted that their marriage is tumultuous at times. In an April interview she said, “I’m really lucky that he is the father of my son, but that doesn’t mean that we always agree on everything. We’ve had some rather treacherous train rides. I’m happy to be with him regardless but I’m sure there are many times he wishes he wasn’t with me.”

I managed to sneak a peek at this issue of Star magazine and was surprised to find out that they were able to publish an actual photo of the alleged mistress that Matthew supposedly cheated with. After the jump, check out her photo … (more…)

Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt Does ‘Star’ Magazine

Star's attempt to get in on the Brangelina twins hoopla
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Since In Touch Weekly managed to get the scoop on the birth of the Brangelina twins, Vivienne Marcheline & Knox Leon, and since it is believed that People magazine (or possibly OK! magazine) purchased the rights to the first photos of the twins, there ain’t much left for the other mags to utilize for their publications … which is why Star magazine put the first born child to spring from Angelina Jolie’s loins on the cover of this week’s issue. I gotta say, they managed to come up with the freakiest photo of Shiloh Nouvel yet … check it out:


She’s a big sister now! And Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was on her best — and sweetest — behavior when she was introduced to her new twin siblings the day after their emotional delivery on July 12. As her weary parents, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, beamed with pride, the wide-eyed 2-year-old greeted tiny brother Knox Leon and sister Vivienne Marcheline with smiles and kisses. “They weren’t planning on having Shiloh see Angie and the babies so soon, but she couldn’t sleep or eat until she saw her Mommy,” an insider tells Star. As Angie, 33, held the newborns, Shiloh first stared then smiled. She was put on the bed next to them and kissed them on the forehead.

Yeah, yeah … cute story but what is up with this picture of Shiloh? She doesn’t look real … in fact, she looks a lot like the American Girl doll Kit Kittredge. I hope it’s just a matter of heavy Photoshopping … cuz Shiloh really does look like an animatronic doll. She even makes Suri Holmes-Cruise look human. Now that’s scary!
