Kellie Pickler Teams Up With ASPCA To Celebrate… Cats!

 Kellie Pickler

Country singer and American Idol alum Kellie Pickler has a pet cause, and I do mean that quite literally.  She and designer Geren Ford have created a cat sweater to raise funds for the ASPCA.   The oatmeal heather sweater features an illustration of a cat playing a banjo.  Cheesy?  Maybe, but it’s pretty cute, and hey – it’s for the animals!

Pickler unveiled the sweater in New York on Tuesday, and recently talked to Parade about the project and her own love of kitties.

On her design project:  “I’m no Vera Wang, that’s for sure, but it’s really cute for a cat sweater. I think there’s a stereotype for women who love cats. We get called crazy cat ladies, so this is hopefully going to break that!”

On choosing her husband (songwriter Kyle Jacobs) over her feline friends:  “I love cats, but my husband’s severely allergic to them. I had to find a good home for my cat when we got together. I still get a little teary eyed when I think about Pickles.”

Victoria Beckham Is A ‘Numéro’ Uno Cover Girl

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham is on the cover of Numéro’s Tokyo‘s current edition.   The international publication of art, fashion and design scored the hot mom and fashion designer for their issue #54, the Super-Lady Issue.

The magazine asked Beckham (whose photoshoot is amazing) to describe her fantasy fashion show front row, and this is what she said:

My husband. David has never been to any of my shows as I’m incredibly nervous and I need to focus and concentrate, apart from him Tilda Swinton. She’s so striking and I would love to dress her. She’s incredible looking and I love that she seems so confident in herself she doesn’t feel the need to conform.

Tilda Swinton!  Now that is an unexpected response.  Perhaps there is more depth to Posh Spice than we ever thought!

Vanessa Paradis Shoots Down Rumors Of Split With Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa Paradis is tired of the speculation that she and longtime partner Johnny Depp have ended their relationship.   People claimed last week that the two were “all but officially over,” and earlier this month Radar Online had Depp consulting an attorney to figure out how to deal with custody issues surrounding the couple’s children, Lily Rose (12) and Jack (9).

Paradis appeared on Le Grand Journal on Tuesday to promote her new movie Cafe De Flore, and took the opportunity to address the gossip.  She told host Ariane Massenet that while she’s accustomed to gossip about her relationship, the break-up buzz simply goes too far.

“People say we are buying houses in the middle of nowhere, or that we have fifty-two houses in France. And that is along with saying we split up every winter and get married every summer, and that I’m on my twelfth pregnancy.

All that is not too serious, but this latest one is a rumor, which could cause a lot of harm to my family and my children.”

Host Michel Denisot directly asked her:

“Why don’t you respond to the rumor and put an end to it? Is the rumor false?”

Paradis then firmly stated: “Yes it’s false.  Of course it’s false.”

Well, alrighty then. If you speak French (or just like to listen to folks speaking French), check out the video below and hear Paradis’ denial for yourself.  Her clip starts at about 5:10.

Demi Moore Entering Treatment For ‘Exhaustion’

Demi Moore

Following an emergency trip to the hospital on Monday night, Demi Moore is seeking treatment for exhaustion and stress, says her rep.

People quotes the rep’s statement:

“Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health…She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends.”

TMZ‘s sources say that “professional assistance” actually means “rehab” and “exhaustion and stress” actually means “substance abuse.”  I suppose sufficient substance abuse would, in fact, lead to exhaustion and stress, so perhaps those are perfectly apt euphemisms.

Moore announced she was filing for divorce from her husband Ashton Kutcher in November 2011.

Johnny Depp Is A Creepy Vampire In ‘Dark Shadows’

Johnny Depp

 
Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are teaming up again to for this year’s upcoming Dark Shadows.  The movie is an adaptation of the 1960s TV show of the same name, and focuses on the vampire Barnabas Collins.  He was cursed by a witch and turned into a vampire.  When he escapes his tomb 200 years later, in 1972, he finds his hometown very changed, and his descendants dysfunctional.

You really get a sense of Depp’s character from these recently released stills.   It’s a different type of role for Depp – proving that he can pretty much do anything – and yet it also seems familiar, reminiscent of both Willy Wonka (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory) and The Mad Hatter (Alice In Wonderland)… both also Burton films, by the way.  Oh, and speaking of Burton films, you know who else is in this movie:  Helena Bonham Carter, of course.

Click through for one more still from Dark Shadows.

Aretha Franklin’s Wedding Is Off

Shortest engagement ever?   After announcing their engagement just a couple of weeks ago, Aretha Franklin and William “Willie” Wilkerson have already called it off.   They released the following statement today:

“Regretfully, To Our Friends and Supporters: Will and I have decided we were moving a little too fast, and there were a number of things that had not been thought through thoroughly.  There will be no wedding at this time.”

“We will not comment on it any further because of the very personal and sensitive nature of it. We appreciate all of the many well wishes from friends.”

The pair, who have been partners and friends for more than 20 years, had been planning to wed this summer.

You’ve got to wonder what happened here, but hopefully they’ll be able to remain friends.

Heidi Klum And Seal – It’s Really Over!

Heidi Klum and Seal

Looks like the rumors were unfortunately true: Hollywood power couple Heidi Klum and Seal are ending their marriage. They made the following statement on Sunday:

“While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate.

“We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition.

“We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children’s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy.”

It’s a very civilized statement, but the current buzz is that Klum just can’t deal with Seal’s bad temper anymore, especially its effects on their children, Leni (7), Henry (6), Johan (5) and Lou (2).  Other sources say that she’s tired of all the partying he does while he’s on tour.  And then again, there’s always that pesky little seven year itch

The couple were known for renewing their wedding vows each year on their anniversary.  They had just done so in May 2011, in Palm Beach, Florida.

Etta James
 
Legendary blues singer Etta James died on Friday, January 20 of complications from leukemia.

James, who began singing in her church choir when she was five years old, rose to fame in 1955 as a member of the female group The Peaches.  Her solo career took off when she joined Chess Records and released her 1960 album At Last!, whose title track would become her signature song.

After years of battling various addictions, James got sober in 1988.  She suffered from a number of health problems in recent years, including dementia and hepatitis C; she was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010.

Rest in peace, Etta.

Kerry Washington Gets Super Sexy For ‘Details’

Kerry Washington

Kerry Washington is featured in Details February 2012 issue.   The actress, whose early credits include a 1994 ABC Afterschool Special, has a lot going on this year.  While she tells the magazine she “wasn’t invested in the fame part” of working in Hollywood, she’s certainly made quite a life for herself in TV and film.  She’s got a role in Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming Django Unchained, and stars in the new political TV series Scandal.

In the photo accompanying the article, Washington wears nothing but a black blazer and a pair of heels.  What can we say?  Her sex appeal speaks for itself.
