Hi Moms! It’s Mommy Blogger Michelle here for another edition of Celebrity Round-up. I apologize that it’s been a few weeks since I’ve had one up here, but life has kind of gotten in the way recently. Rest assured, I’m back, and I’ll continue to post Celebrity Round-up on a weekly basis.
So here we go!!
I didn’t get to write about this story when it first happened, so I figured I’d start out with it. The death of Jett Travolta was such a tragedy. I can’t imagine losing a child, and especially losing a child after him being in their lives for 16 years. I can’t imagine what the family is going through, especially their little girl. It truly is a heartbreaking story. BUT (and there’s always a but, right?) the one thing that bothered me when reading news articles about this story is the fact that there’s questions about whether Jett was autistic or not, and the family has denied for years that he’s autistic. Now, I can understand the fear a parent has when finding out their child might be autistic, but wouldn’t YOU want to do anything possible to get your child the best testing and treatment to help him adapt to being autistic? Instead of ignoring it and hoping that it goes away? Granted, I know very little about autism, only what I researched when I thought my son was going to be diagnosed with it, but it just made me sad reading this article, thinking that this poor kid could’ve had Autism his whole life and no one did anything to help him.
Wedding bells rang Saturday 1-10 for Fergie & Oh-s0 hot Josh Duhamel. The stars wed under magnolia trees filled with thousands of white roses, in Malibu. I’m sure if babies are to follow, they’ll make gorgeous babies!!
It’s another baby girl for one of my favorite celeb couples, Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck. Congrats to the new parents, AND to the new big sister, Violet! I’m sure this new little princess (no name as of yet) will be just as adorable as Violet is. What a perfectly cute family!
It was twin girls for Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell, born December 28th. In true celebrity fashion, they had to pick not so normal names for both of them — one is Dolly Rebecca Rose, and the other is Charlie Tamara Tulip. I think the flower names on the end are kind of cute, especially Tulip but every time I see the name “Dolly” I think of Dolly Parton and I can’t picture a sweet, cute little girl with the name Dolly! Rebecca did name her after Dolly Parton, and Jerry got to name the other one Charlie, after his brother Charlie O’Connell. I can’t wait to see pictures of these girls!
This was a surprise split — after announcing her 2nd pregnancy not too long ago, Gossip Girl’s Kelly Rutherford has filed for divorce from her husband. He must’ve done something bad for her to file for divorce when she was 3 months pregnant! I’m sure she’ll be able to get through it and will have a gorgeous child…
Apparently it’s over for Jennifer Love Hewitt and her fiance, Scottish actor Ross McCall. The couple has been engaged since November 2007, and sources say they split during the holidays, stunning everyone around them. That’s a shame — she always seemed so in love when she talked about him in interviews and in magazines… I guess not everything is what it seems!
Well, power couple Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are still married, but seemingly hanging on by a thread. The couple, who has been having trouble for months, took a New years trip to Puerto Rico, which only ended in screaming matches and tense times for the couple. Lopez is telling friends that he’s too controlling and she never should’ve let him take the reins of her life when she moved to Long Island with him, giving up her glam lifestyle. Another issue at hand is Lopez’s recent trips to the Scientology center; Anthony is a traditional catholic. I don’t think they’ll make it the rest of the year, but we shall see… Should be an interesting year for this couple!
