Lance Armstrong Dishes On The Sheryl Crow Breakup

Josh loposer — Fri, 08 May 2009 21:00:00 GMT

Three years after the infamous Lance and Sheryl fairytale came to an end, Lance is finally ready to talk about the straw that broke the camel's back -- and inadvertently call Sheryl old.

“She wanted marriage, she wanted children; and not that I didn’t want that, but I didn’t want that at that time because I had just gotten out of a marriage, I’d just had kids [Luke, Grace and Bella],” the 37-year-old celebrity cyclist says. “Yet we’re up against her biological clock — that pressure is what cracked it.”

According to Lance's upcoming biography, aptly titled Lance, the world renown cyclist opened up to author John Wilcockson about the celebrity couple's relationship, saying that it got pretty tense toward the end. Apparently, the last two weeks before Sheryl's 44th birthday, the relationship started feeling like “kind of a struggle."

Unfortunately, the whole biological clock thing is pretty tough to navigate, especially for a couple with a significant age gap. He must be ready now though, because Lance (now 37) and his girlfriend Anna Hansen are expecting a baby in June.

Dave Grohl - Babies and Beatles (Video)

Whit Honea — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 22:34:00 GMT

When Dave Grohl isn't fighting Foo he's busy changing diapers. Well, I don't know if Violet is still in diapers, but you get the idea- every hero has a day job.

Dave and his wife Jordyn Blum are expecting baby number two this spring.

This picture was taken at the Grammy Awards, shortly before Grohl joined one Sir Paul McCartney on stage for a bit of the bad-assery.

Unfortunately (for the Grammys), the people that run the Grammys are out of touch with a little thing called reality and like to pull their videos from YouTube and the like which only goes to lessen interest in them or their award show. Luckily, there are better videos of Grohl and McCartney available:

Calling Jerry Springer: Shania Twain Dating Husband's Mistress' Husband

Karl Erikson — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:34:00 GMT

If there's any way to make country music trashier, then leave it to Shania Twain and her husband Mutt Lange to make it happen. Shania, 43, mother of 7-year-old Eja D'Angelo, is now dating her husband's mistress' husband! Granted, Mutt was cheating first - his mistress, Marie-Anne Thiebaud - is said to have broken up Shania's marriage of 15 years.

While the couple lived in their private Swiss compound, Mutt cheated with his estate manager, who was married. Classy. Shania and Mutt were friends with the other woman and her family. If that wasn't a betrayal, then I don't know what is. But it doesn't stop there.

Now Shania is dating the hubby or her ex's new girlfriend. She was seen at an airport in Florida recently, having lunch and laughing with the dude. Since there isn't a whole lot of paparazzi coverage in Key West, the couple thought they were safe from the cameras. Not so much.

Mutt Lange denies the affair, saying, "The whole story was just a story as we are just friends in the same way Shania and Fred [Theibaud] are."

Um, yeah. Friends. With benefits.

What a lovely holiday story, eh?

Shania Twain's 5-Step Recovery After Cheating Spouse Breaks Her Heart

Shania Twain's 5 Step Recovery After Cheating Spouse Breaks Her Heart

Sassy Smith — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 16:03:00 GMT

Country music star Shania Twain and her producer husband, "Mutt" Lange announced their split back in May. It was reported that Lange had cheated on Twain with long time friend and personal secretary, Marie Ann Thiebaud, however both denied the rumors. A source close to those involved said, "Mutt and Marie Ann left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship." Ouch. So how has Shania handled the last few months?

More photos after the jump!

Star magazine writes Shania's 5 Step To A Rockin' Recovery:

#1 Regain your independence:

According to reports, Shania was very much controlled by Mutt in most aspects of her life. A source said, "He would restrict how much Shania could travel, what she could eat, even which friends she could see!

"He was a very jealous guy and didn't like her associating with her male pals. He is a real loner, and as a result, he tried to isolate Shania as well. Now she's making her own decisions again."

# 2 Improve your body and mind:

Shania had lost weight after the breakup says a close pal, but "she pulled herself together, put the pounds she lost back on, and now she looks absolutely fantastic!

"She loves her curves, and she feels sexy and young again." Shania returned to her hometown of Huntsville, Ontario, and kept busy over the summer, playing golf and tennis and doing yoga. The source adds, "She also spent time talking with a spiritual counselor in the months after the breakup. It was a real comfort to Shania and helped her stay centered."

# 3 Find strength in your family:

Shania brought her 7-year-old son Eja with her to Ontario. The friend says, "She's a fantastic mom, and Eja is her rock. He is the secret weapon that really kept Shania going through her darkest days.

"They spent a wonderful summer together, and now that he's back in his Swiss private school, Shania will be going back and forth between Switzerland and Canada."

Shania is also close to her sisters, Jill and Carrie-Ann. "She always has their 100 percent support and love."

# 4 Don't count out romance:

Twain's friend says that although the breakup was hard, she's not counting out finding love again.

"It took a while, but now that she's feeling so much better about herself, Shania has told her pals that she's ready to get back on the dating scene. She'd even consider a younger man!

"She's not ruling out giving love another chance. I think she'd be thrilled to find a man who would appreciate her for who she is and not try to change her."

# 5 Plan that big comeback:

David Scarlett, senior editor of Country Weekly, said Shania's recent standing ovation at the CMA awards was well deserved.

"Not just because of the respect due to the top-selling female solo artist of all time, but mostly for the sincere affection of the country music community and her fans."

The source adds that Shania is working on a new album that will have songs that address her marriage breakup.

Scarlett adds, "Her comeback could be huge!"

Hopefully Shania and Mutt can have a civil divorce and remember to put their son first.

Sassy Smith — Tue, 20 May 2008 18:34:00 GMT

Sexy superstar Shania Twain and her husband "Mutt" Lange announced their split a few days ago. Lange issued a statement to PEOPLE, saying, it was "an unfortunate thing. It's literally just a growing apart, that's all." However, sources close to the couple say that the growing apart was more like a third person involved. How could he cheat on Shania?

An insider says that Mutt allegedly became involved with Marie Ann Thiebaud - she's the woman who managed the couple's chateau in Switzerland and was also a personal, longtime secretary. Now that's low! Says the insider, "Mutt and Marie Ann left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship."

Lange however, denies the rumor that Thiebaud is the reason for the split, saying, "It's absolutely not the reason [for the separation]." He also denies the affair ever happened. Marie Ann has not made a comment.

I hope whatever the reason for the breakup, this couple can make their separation as painless for their 6-year-old son Eja D’Angelo as is possible.

Hey Guys - Sexy Shania Twain Is Single

Are you a man who's often fantasized about sexy country singer Shania Twain? Had hopes that you could be the guy to sweep her off of her feet? That may very well be a possibility....

Shania and her husband of 14 years, Robert Mutt Lange are calling it quits. They have a son, Eja D'Angelo, who turns seven in August. According to People.com:

A spokesperson for the couple said, "This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."

The Grammy-winning performer makes her home in Switzerland and has lived there since 2000. She's been working on a new album set for release sometime this year.

We're sorry to hear of the split - hopefully it's at least amicable for their son.

Handsome Celebrity Infant - Who's The Baby Boy?

Sassy Smith — Fri, 09 May 2008 15:34:00 GMT

What a cutie! Who does this handsome little man call mama? Hint: She's magical.

Say hi to Braydon 'Brady' Hart, son of Melissa Joan Hart. The former Sabrina, the Teenage Witch star has updated her Myspace page and gives a peek as to what is going on with her now 8-week-old baby and also older son Mason Walker, now 2. Husband Mark Wilkerson of Course of Nature, is shown with Braydon. Mason is a doll too - love the rubber boots!

Here's what Melissa wrote:

"Hey all, I figured it was about time for an update about our crazy lives. We are adjusting nicely to being a family of four, although it is a tough job. It's about to get a lot tougher as Mark leaves on tour this week. I'm not sure I can handle two babies on my own, unlike my sis who is a super-mom!

I am off on a sort of tour as well. First to NY to do press for the potty training campaign for Pull-ups Training Pants and then off to Baton Rouge, LA to shoot a feature film all of June. It's a thriller called 9 Dead that my mother is producing with our company Hartbreak Films. After this film is wrapped, we will be heading off to an unknown destination to shoot a new ABC family movie I am producing about two people who fake a wedding to get the gifts. It's really funny and anyone that liked Holiday In Handcuffs is gonna love this one.

Wish us luck on our travels and say a prayer for Mark that he doesn't die from heartbreak from missing his boys too much!"

Good luck!

Melissa Joan Hart gave birth to her son Braydon on March 12 and the proud mama had to brag about her new bundle of joy! Here's what she said:

Hello! Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments and emails.

Braydon Hart Wilkerson was born March 12th at 3:00pm (on the dot). He was thankfully smaller (7 pounds, 3 ounces) than Mason (9 pounds!), and I had a better experience this time around. I was able to do it completely natural, no drugs - and it was much shorter than Mason’s birth (but by no means easy!) and now we’re home bonding and adjusting to this new miracle! Mason is a perfect big brother - he’s loving, gives Brady lots of kisses and tries to helps me out.

I’ve been getting a lot of requests for photos, but right now we’re staying private and keeping some things just for us. Take my word for it - he’s adorable and looks exactly like Mason did at birth! We will be releasing photos soon though, so keep an eye out.

Reportedly, PEOPLE have the exclusive on Braydon's first pics - can't wait to see the little man!

BREAKING NEWS: Britney Spears Did Not Win a Grammy

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:05:00 GMT

Shocking, but Britney Spears didn't win a Grammy. That hurt, because I felt Gimme More was one of the most compelling, complex, well-crafted songs of the decade. Then again, I really like root canals, too.

Britney didn't seem to care one way or another; when asked by photographers if she was planning on attending last night's awards, she screamed, "Kiss my ass!" I thought that was Adnan's job.

Writer's Will Work Grammy Awards

Whit Honea — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 00:49:00 GMT

The WGA has agreed to work the Grammy Awards, which they had previously said they would not picket.

This isn't an end to the strike, but it's a step in the right direction. Plus, Beyonce and Justin Timberlake won't be called scabs now, which I'm sure they'll enjoy.

I hope this is a positive sign regarding the Oscars.

The Foo Must Go On

Whit Honea — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 02:19:00 GMT

Despite picketing writers vowing to disrupt the Grammys the big stars are still planning to attend. Beyoncé Knowles, who is also a SAG member, has already committed to performing as have the Foo Fighters.

I feel for the writers, I do, hell, that's my bread and butter too, but I'm afraid that they're going to start hurting themselves in the arena of public opinion if they start attacking the likes of the Grammys and the Oscars (which they also plan to picket). The people might forgive cut seasons of Heroes, but calling someone a scab because they want to pick up their Oscar- the pinnacle of their career and most-likely a lifelong dream, is a bit much.

What they need is an agreement. The feeling on couches across America is that we're looking for weapons of destruction all over again. Patience is wanning.

The award shows also offer a pipeline in the still developing talents of the future. That's where the Foo Fighters come in. According to People:

Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, who are nominated for album and record of the year, said he and his band are still planning on participating in the second installment of My Grammy Moment, a competition on YouTube in which unsigned musicians vie to perform with the Foo Fighters on the telecast.

"We're participating in My Grammy Moment because it creates opportunities...to write, compose, play and study music – skills that absolutely need to be passed on to generations to come," said Grohl.

Why can't we all just get along?

Pimp C Funeral

Sassy Smith — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 17:36:00 GMT

Pimp C remembered today by family and friends. His funeral was to be held at the Robert A. Bowers Civic Center in his southest Texas hometown of Port Arthur. The funeral was open to the public, but the burial is limited to close family and friends.

Pimp C was found dead on December 4th in the Mondrian Hotel in L.A. He was only 33. Officials said the rapper, died in bed and no signs of foul play were found. Autopsy and toxicology reports have not been made available yet.

The rapper, who's real name is Chad Butler, was one half of rap duo Underground Kingz. Just this year, UGK snagged their first No. 1 album, partly because of the single "International Player's Anthem (I Choose You), which featured Outkast. Two days after Pimp C's passing, the single gave UGK their first Grammy nomination in the "Best Performance by a rap duo or group" category. RIP Pimp C.
