Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery Get Game

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 29 May 2009 20:35:00 GMT

Ellen Pompeo and husband Chris Ivery were enjoying watching the L.A. Lakers trounce the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday at the Staples Center. I'm sure they're just as happy at the fact that Pompeo is pregnant with the couple's first child. And even happier that the baby wasn't due during the playoffs.

They both look like they are watching one of Kobe's three-pointers sail over the heads of the Nuggets, right into the basket. Either that or Jack Nicholson was caught dancing on the JumboTron again.

Here's another shot of Pompeo and her growing baby bump. Wonder if she's trying to score tickets for tonight's game?

Oh, and GO LAKERS.

This post does not necessarily reflect the views or team preference of all FameCrawler writers, although it should because the Lakers are clearly the better team.

Andy Garcia Loves This Game!

Whit Honea — Mon, 25 May 2009 19:48:00 GMT

Andy Garcia and his son, 7-year-old Andres, scored some sweet seats (for standing in front of) for Game 1 between the Lakers and Nuggets in Los Angeles.

It's all who you know.

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian - Together Again!

trix — Mon, 18 May 2009 19:31:00 GMT

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian were together again.

These two, in their "We're so happy relationships", were spotted together in a bar during halftime of the Laker game.

They must be really good friends and very trustworthy if their spouses let them go to a basketball game together.

What's really going on here?

Eddie is a dad and needs to think about what he really wants to accomplish with this relationship, before anyone gets hurt.

Vanessa Curry Mask: Celtics Fan Tries To Distract Lakers' Kobe Bryant

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:05:00 GMT

TMZ is reporting that a Boston Celtics fan is pretending there is a way to stop the L.A. Lakers from winning the championship. The delusional individual is attempting to distract Kobe Bryant by creating cutout masks of Vanessa Curry, the former Laker Girl who allegedly had a fling with the Laker star.

I don't know if it'll work as a distraction tactic, but I think the mask is an accurate representation of what Curry would look like if Kobe's wife Vanessa got a hold of her. Although in addition to the scratched out eyes, every hair on Curry's head would be gone.

If you remember, Vanessa Bryant recently verbally attacked a reporter in front of her and Kobe's young daughters.

Hopefully she'll be in a better mood when the Lakers win the championship.

Did Kobe Bryant Get Some Sideline Action With Vanessa Curry?

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 28 May 2008 22:15:00 GMT

Hey Kobe - keep your eye on the ball! No, not that one...Kobe Bryant may be leading the Lakers towards the NBA playoffs, but his personal life is anything but smooth. First his wife Vanessa verbally attacks a journalist, and now those rumors are back that he had an affair with Laker Girl Vanessa Curry.

The story is that Kobe was having an affair with Curry and that Laker management forced her to leave the Laker Girl squad after concerns that it was proving to be too much of a distraction. Kobe denied the story and threatened to sue the site that first ran the story, but they're apparently refusing to back down.

I wouldn't be so much afraid of any badass lawyers as I would be of Kobe's wife Vanessa, who sounds batshit crazy and could probably scratch out both your eyeballs on the first try. In front of her kids.

Just kidding, Vanessa! Put that knife down!

Vanessa Bryant: When Laker Wives Attack! Bloggers!

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 28 May 2008 10:55:00 GMT

Hey, us bloggers have feelings, too, you know. Well, not really, but this one still hits close to home. Kobe Bryant's wife verbally attacked blogger Laura Lane over an article Lane wrote for ESPN The Magazine. On her personal blog, ridethefastlane.com, Lane recounts being chewed out by Vanessa in front of her young daughters after a Lakers game on Friday night.:

Last night, I got cussed out by Vanessa Bryant. Seriously. At the Lakers game. In front of her kids. In front of the Lakers locker room. It was awesome. She is mad about an article I wrote where I mentioned her. That means one of two things - she either reads the ESPN blog or she has herself on Google alerts. Both are fantastic.

So as I’m walking out of the Lakers locker room after some post-game interviews with the players, I pass Vanessa, who is sitting outside the locker room as usual with her two girls.

“Laura!” she screams (yes, she apparently knows my name). “F*ck you! You f*cking bitch!”

“Excuse me?” I say, completely baffled as I look around me to see if there is someone else named Laura. No, there’s not.

Her daughters – ages 5 and 2 – are sitting next to her on the bench looking at their mom as she screams.

“F*ck you! How dare you write about me and my daughters and their schedule! You didn’t say you were writing an article! F*ck you! You f*cking bitch. You have no journalism ethics! F*ck you! You bitch -

I just stare at her. I’ve heard many stories about her from reporters, but this was unbelievable. Two of my friends from the LA Times told me how she cussed out one of them last season, because he said hi to her daughter. “Join the club, this means you’ve arrived,” said one reporter when word spread of my run-in with Vanessa. “She’s insane,” said another. “Everyone knows it.”

Here's what Lane wrote that pissed Vanessa off:

"Vanessa, who is usually prim and proper in all black, has decided to have fun tonight. … She's wearing a white tube dress, a purple tutu, black leggings, high-heeled short boots and a rhinestone-encrusted white leather jacket with the number 8 on the back, Kobe's old number. … Bryant's kids have recently started playing soccer in addition to gymnastics, ballet and hip-hop. 'I'm like a total soccer mom,' Vanessa says."

I can't imagine why this would get Vanessa's panties in a twist, unless as the other journalists said, she's insane. Either that or she was understandably embarrassed that the entire world now knows she actually owns a white tube dress.

Michael Jackson to Perform at Grammy Awards?

Karen — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 22:04:00 GMT

Fox News is reporting the posibility, but despite sources insisting the pop star has been rehearsing, even this reporter is unsure:

"A lot could change between now and Sunday night, but the scenario that’s been described for me goes something like this: Justin Timberlake starts the show singing along with a tape of Frank Sinatra. The next act up is Jackson, performing one of his hits from "Thriller," possibly even re-creating the dance number for "Billie Jean" he made famous at the Motown 25th anniversary show in 1983.

Will it happen? Who knows. Jackson, my sources insist, has been rehearsing at a Burbank studio and keeping away from the Staples Center, where the Grammy show takes place."

Posh: Denial Ain't Just A River In Egypt

HerBadMother — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 23:02:00 GMT

Victoria Beckham told Larry King on Monday night that she is not pregnant. Also, she told him that hubby David is "very loyal," which must be a very loosely interpreted term in the Beckham household, seeing as he's admitted to at least one extra-marital affair (with former nanny Rebecca Loos). So, is dear Posh just big on denial, or is she really not pregnant, and really convinced of her husband's eternal fidelity, and really, you know, a totally authentic, totally real chick with actual singing talent and real boobs?

I like Victoria Beckham, I really do, deep down in that perverse core of me that likes hard, ambitious girls in spiky heels, but I don't believe a word that comes out of her mouth. So, not pregnant? Maybe not. But that new bleach-free hair-do and the trips to baby stores and the mid-concert proclamations of Spice mates all argue otherwise. (And? When Perez insists that a rumor is not true - as he did with J-Lo's preggo rumors, and is doing now with the Posh rumors - I assume the opposite to be true.) So, for the moment - Larry King and Perez Hilton, Posh-whores both, notwithstanding - I'm sticking with the story that there's a fourth Beckham on the way. And that those boobs are fake.

Beckham Bares Bottom, Again

HerBadMother — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 21:33:00 GMT

I suppose his bottom isn't really bare, is it? It's tightly wrapped in Armani boy-panties, which is the point, I suppose, seeing as he's stripped down for the express purpose of selling Armani underwear. I gotta say, no wonder Victoria keeps insisting that he impregnate her - he is one smokin' piece of man-flesh. A little fey in character, maybe, but indisputably cut.

I love that he always puts on that grr-rawr face when he's showing off his body - like he's an angry half-naked person, who deeply resents that he's been forced to disrobe, when in fact we all know that he luuuuurves taking off his clothes and thrusting his nether regions (fore or aft) toward a camera. I suppose, though, that a big cheese-eating grin might undermine the deeply serious panty-couture vibe that they're going for with these ads.

Posh Pregnant

HerBadMother — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:40:00 GMT

The rumors have been flying for a while now, but apparently it's true: Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, is pregnant with Baby Becks #4.

In what might have been the strangest celebrity pregnancy announcement ever, Geri Halliwell - Ginger Spice - blurted out the news in the middle of a performance of the song Wannabe at a Spice Girls concert at the Staples Center in LA, shouting "she's pregnant!" and pointing at Posh mid-performance.

If that wasn't scripted, I'm guessing that Ginger got a good talking-to off-stage.

Beckham reps have been denying rumors of a pregnancy for weeks now, but this is about as good a source and as good confirmation - live! mid-concert! - as it gets.

Mel Gibson Booed More Than Kobe

Whit Honea — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 02:14:00 GMT

I guess Mel Gibson learned the hard way that hate begets hate. His stock has sunk since his anti-Semitic, drunken tirade and when his face was placed on the Jumbotron at a recent Lakers' game he was soundly booed by the L.A. faithful, fashionably late and tragically hip as they are.

Personally, I think the guy is an ass, but I feel for his kid. That kind of fan-participation can't be fun for either of them.

Angry Neighbors Deny Crib To Nicole Richie and Joel Madden! The Nerve!

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 23:40:00 GMT

Who turns away a pregnant lady? Homeowners in an exclusive neighborhood in Southern California, that's who. Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were turned away from a gated community where they recently made an offer on a home because their potential neighbors were concerned with the paparazzi becoming a nuisance. People these days! So a few hoards of photographers with bright lights and cameras ruin your lawn and trample your flower beds every couple of days - what's the big deal?

Since Joel and Nicole are close personal friends of mine, I'd like to extend an invitation to them to crash at my place until the baby comes. Free room and board, and I make a killer cappuccino. So come on over, guys! Or at least return my emails. You know, no hard feelings about the restraining order you took out. Call me!

I Cornered, I Mean, Met Nicole Richie and Joel Madden in a Hallway at the Hannah Montana Concert and They Were So Totally Human

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 19:50:00 GMT

Meet my new BFFs, Joel and Nicole. Okay, they don't exactly know yet that we'll be texting each other on a regular basis and hanging at each other's houses playing Monopoly, but they will soon.

I took my girls to the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus concert at Staples Center on Wednesday night, and ran into the expectant couple in a hallway. Who knew they were Disney fans? They posed for pictures, signed autographs and chatted with my girls and acted just like normal people, except with better clothes and more money. Joel only looked slightly annoyed when I asked him for their address so we could all come over for a barbecue this weekend.

Okay, I know I haven't always been nice to them here on FameCrawler, making fun of their unborn baby and Nicole's DUI woes, but all that's changed. Now, expect gushing posts from me on Joel's paternal skills or see me come to their defense when my fellow writers make fun of Nicole's thin arms. I heart Nicole and Joel, people. And the only thing standing between me and Nicole's upcoming baby shower? A big beefy bodyguard and a restraining order. BFFs 4 Ever!

Miley Cyrus, a Cheetah Girl, and Kobe Bryant

Whit Honea — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 16:02:00 GMT

Not only is Disney's Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus the hottest, aka, most expensive, ticket in town. She is bringing out the A-listers. She had everyone backstage, Ashley Tisdale, Adrienne Bailon, Joel and Nicole, our own Sweatpantsmom and one current Laker Kobe Bryant and family. With Kobe is his wife Vanessa and their two daughters Natalia, 4 1/2, and Gianna, 18 months.

I'm sure Kobe's daughters enjoyed it much, much more than a Laker's game. I bet Kobe did too.
