I don’t really follow Lady Gaga with much attention. I’ve seen interviews with her where I was impressed by how well spoken, normal and down-to-earth she sounded despite her wholly manufactured persona. I’ve also read countless interviews where I’ve rolled my eyes at all the ridiculous statements she was making to get headlines, which of course she did. There’s a sharp sweetness about her, like she’s genuine in her affection for her “little monsters” but if you get in the way while she’s collecting more she’ll cut you.

There are several biographies of Gaga out, according to my quick research at Amazon and Star has advance details from a new one that’s out later this month called Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga. The most interesting part to me was a former female assistant’s claim that Gaga hates to sleep alone and would beg her to cuddle up in bed with her every night. The assistant would even end up showering with her the next day. She doesn’t seem to suggest there was anything sexual going on, although with Gaga it’s entirely likely. The assistant and her husband, who worked as Gaga’s manger, went on the record with their full names. They say that Gaga is a perfectionist and a taskmaster who regularly fires people over minor issues:

Gaga’s busy love life is proof of a secret lingering pain, Callahan writes: Her brash persona hides the fact that she is terrified of being alone. After a 2009 breakup with stylist Matthew “Dada” Williams, she even hired Angela [her ex manager David Ciemny's wife] tp accompany her on the road - and to sleep in bed at night!

“She was tell me… ‘Ok, Ange, you and Dave can go in the back of the bus from 10 o’clock to midnight,” Angela says. But then it was back to cuddling with Gaga, even if they were staying at a hotel. “I would say, ‘Gaga, I have a husband to go home to. I’ll be in the room next door.’ And she’d call and text me: ‘I miss you, Ange, can you come back?’… So I would.”

“We literally… would do our makeup together every morning and get ready for bed together at night,” Angela says. And they’d even shower together to save prep time!

But despite that closeness, Gaga was still Angela’s boss, and she often caught heat for simple mistakes. When she was slammed for accidentally bringing a pair of used nylons to an appearance, Angela says, it was the last straw. She quit.

According to her husband, David, Angela was one of the lucky ones. In his 18-month tenure with Gaga, Ciemny says, he watched her fire more than 150 people. “Everything had to be perfect,” he says, and when it wasn’t, someone had to go.

There’s more in Star’s piece, which you should pick up if you’re interested. The book is out on September 14th and you can preorder it at Amazon. This guy Lüc that Gaga has been seen with is an old boyfriend from NY that she’s always had a thing for and the article goes into that. I read this with some skepticism, though, because as much as it’s critical of Gaga it also plays into her whole image. It’s hard to believe that she’s not in on these stories that paint her as a difficult diva with tumultuous relationships with both men and women. She wants people to talk about her. It almost doesn’t matter how critical we are, as long as we’re paying attention.

Paris before her arrest (and with a different purse) on 8/24/10. Boobs! Credit: Fame Pictures

Paris Hilton told the cop she stupidly (or deliberately, more on that in a moment) asked to hold her purse that it was borrowed from a friend after the cocaine dropped out. She later changed her story, by way of a “source” that told TMZ that Paris lent the purse to a friend, who put the coke in it and returned it with the drugs still in it, “setting her up.” The sleuths at Radar Online went through Paris’ Twitter account and found a picture of the bedazzled Chanel purse in question that she proudly tweeted six weeks ago, bragging about her purchase “Love My New Chanel Purse I got Today. ” They also found photos of her toting it in July in St. Tropez. So I guess that story that the purse was someone elses has fallen through. No wonder she tried to switch it up.

There’s suspicion that Paris Hilton set up the whole cocaine bust in an attempt to earn some headlines to compete with Lindsay’s incarceration. After all, she put the damn purse in the cop’s hands before the coke fell out. I don’t give her that much credit. I think that she just forgot the coke was in there and expected the policeman to act as her valet. It’s just a coincidence that she had her hair expertly styled with perfect makeup on before her mug shot was taken. She was in Vegas partying with her boyfriend and she usually looks put together like that. Here’s In Touch’s take on this story. They note that it’s the most attention Paris has received in years:

Though she probably could have avoided interaction with the police, the 29-year-old allegedly dropped a small bag of cocaine from her purse in front of attending officers - resulting in her arrest and subsequent charge with felony drug possession. In the report, Paris denied that the purse she was carrying was hers. But Paris seemed to encourage the sudden explosion of news coverage, despite the fact that she faces up to four years in the slammer.

Could Paris’ recent run-in with the law be just another attempt to reclaim the spotlight? Some media experts have publicly questioned her motives…

Once Hollywood royalty, she has fallen by the wayside while the likes of former friend Kim Kardashian, 29, are conquering the red carpet. “She has been plotting for a way to get back into the limelight, and getting arrested for cocaine is extreme but it worked,” a friend tells In Touch

[From In Touch, print edition, September 13, 2010]

I could be convinced that Paris saw an opportunity when the cops pulled her over and took advantage of it to drop drugs into their hands. It’s possible. I’m still thinking it was a stupid mistake, but she would also be stupid enough to think she would get off with a slap on the wrist. It might happen for her after all. We’ve heard that Paris is facing serious jail time for this latest incident, but it’s possible her charge could be reduced to a misdemeanor. If she’s charged with a misdemeanor instead of a felony she could get off with community service and a fine. It’s possible that the DA won’t throw the book at her after all. (Radar has more on that.) It’s thought that her lawyer is going to try and get her off on a technicality anyway. Cops didn’t ask for a blood test to verify whether she was on drugs and her lawyer may also argue that the search of Paris was not legal since it happened inside the hotel and not at the scene. It’s not like they had to do much to find the coke, though.

Two out of the four tabloids I turned my brain to happy mush reading this morning have a variation of the “Sandra betrayed!” story chronicling Jesse James and Kat Von D’s well-documented outing to a town called Fredricksburg outside Austin last weekend. They had photos of the two kissing goodbye at the airport, walking hand in hand down the street, and even riding on Jesse’s motorcycle together. It almost looked like they called the paps to tip them off. Here’s a roundup:

In Touch: Jesse Humiliates Sandra Again! While Sandra Bullock does humanitarian work in New Orleans, her ex Jesse James parades his new girlfriend around Sandra’s hometown… he’s now pouring salt in the wound by gallivanting around Austin with his new girlfriend.

Star: Jesse Flaunts His New Love It’s his cruelest cut yet. Jesse James brings his new girlfriend, Kat Von D, to Sandra Bullock’s adopted home of Austin, Texas - and kisses her all over town. How low can he go?

[From print editions, September 13, 2010]

I also read US Weekly and The National Enquirer, so I can’t speak for OK! or Life & Style, but I bet at least one of the other tabloids has a similar story about Jesse rubbing Kat in Sandra’s face. It doesn’t seem like Kat got the obvious memo that she should be discreet, though. These two went to to the opening of Kat’s “Wonderland” gallery together yesterday and they even happily posed on the red carpet and gave statements to the press about their relationship. Kat gushed about how awesome Jesse was, called him “the one” and said in a roundabout way that she loved him. Stoo-pid. For his part Jesse grunted in the affirmative as confirmation that they’re together.

“Jesse is only my ninth boyfriend. I don’t hang out with anybody unless I am in love,” Kat told PEOPLE at the opening of her Wonderland gallery in West Hollywood on Thursday.

Asked if she thinks the motorcycle mogul, who accompanied Von D to the gallery opening, is “The One” for her, she answered, “I believe he is, so yeah.”

As for how and when she first knew her feelings for James were so strong, she said, “Was it when we were playing Scrabble? I don’t remember. But it was something like that – when we both realized how nerdy we were.”

And although James recently finalized his divorce from Sandra Bullock after he admitted to cheating on her, Von D says the drama of his personal life didn’t cause her to hesitate.

“I stayed away from that as much as possible, and when we connected recently, it was such a positive thing,” she says. “It was just like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t spent this much time with you the entire time I’ve known you.’ Now I’m just embracing it and enjoying it.”

James was a tad less verbose about the romance, but when asked if he’s happy, he replied, “Yes.”

So, what does he like best about Von D? “Everything,” said James.

[From People]

How cute - they bonded over Scrabble. Good luck with that fixer-upper Kat. The floor is rotting through and it needs a new roof. You may as well gut the whole thing and start over. (I have no idea how that analogy would apply to dating a douche, other than switching him out for a different guy in the same neighborhood.) Kat will figure out soon enough that cheetahs can’t cover their spots with tattoos. (Or whatever, that analogy/old adage also sucks. It’s Friday at least.)

Meanwhile Sandra hopefully doesn’t give a rat’s ass that James worked his pitiful act on a much less worthy chick. She’s at the top of her game and earned the cover of Entertainment Weekly in a triumphant pose with title “What’s next for Sandra!” Underneath the headline, she’s declared “the most powerful actress on the planet.” Eat that, tattoo artist reality star! Inside the issue, Ben Affleck says that almost every director and producer wants Sandra for their film. He’s quoted as saying “Every movie you hear about and every script I see, they say, ‘We’re going after Sandra Bullock for the woman.’” Good for her! I’m sure people will continue to have pity for her over her lovelife, but she’s made it clear she’s doing fine, thank you very much, and doesn’t need it. We’ll support you by going to see all your movies, Sandra!

Star Magazine has an interesting interview with Drew Barrymore promoting Going the Distance, which is out in the US starting today. They ask her directly if she’s with her costar Justin Long and she sort-of admits they’re on and off again but says she’ll never tell you when. I’m getting a “friends with benefits” vibe, which is what sometimes happens when you realize that the romantic part isn’t going to work out but you still have a good time together. Or hot breakup sex, it’s hard to tell. Here’s part of what Drew told Star:

What have you learned about how to make a relationship work?
Nothing! In all seriousness, I’m very excited to be in my 30s and not stand on my soapbox and brag about what I know. I’m not in on any brilliant secrets right now.

How can you make a long-distance relationship work?
I know what I would want to make one work, like letters and surprising each other - things that make you feel special, like you’re part of a unit and it’s not a phantom thing.

Where do things stand right now with you and Justin?
We never talk about when we’re together and when we’re not. It never, ever will be addressed. Mystery is sexy. But I definitely think it was a benefit that we knew each other so well. It’s very rare to have such an amazing chemistry with someone. That was such a blessing.

So all those kissing scenes were just part of the job?
I was just lucky he’s a good kisser! The worst is when you’re kissing somebody who’s not and you feel like you’re working on your own. Basically, it was a real team effort!

[From Star Magazine, print edition, September 13, 2010]

I’m thinking if it “never will be addressed” she’s ruling out a long term reconciliation, but you never know. She did talk about Justin all the damn time when she first got together with him. In terms of their “chemistry,” not everyone agrees that it translates on screen. I just read a review in US Weekly that trashes their chemistry. US observes “The costars - despite their real-life are-they-or-aren’t-they relationship - lack the crazy spark that’s needed in good romantic comedies.” The movie is getting mediocre reviews overall, with a 48% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, I hope it does ok for Drew. I like her and wish her the best. We need more celebrities like Drew who aren’t full of sh*t. I also want to mention that I love how she says that she’s not going to preach about relationships because she doesn’t know anything more than the rest of us.

In another recent interview, Drew tells Stylist Magazine that she hates being alone but she also has trouble long distances relationships like the one she portrays on screen. “The worst part of being single is being alone. But I don’t get the benefit of having any help because I’m in a relationship with a person I never see… so I think sometimes, I feel like I’m just in a weird purgatory. And I have definitely had my freak-outs about that.” It’s all so vague. Is Justin the guy she feels like she’s in a weird purgatory with or is she speaking about a past long distance relationship with him or some other guy? She says she’ll never tell - about Justin at least. We’ll see. This one likes to talk.

Former good guy Noah Wyle’s inner douche came out when he cheated on his wife of 10 years with both a mistress and another mistress, actress Gina Gershon, with whom he was two-timing the first mistress. It came out that Noah was not only a cheating creep but a hypocrite as reports had him complaining that his wife was dating other men and potentially bringing them around their kids. The Enquirer reported in May that he was “planning to fight for full custody of his two children - Owen, 7, and Aiden, 4, because he doesn’t like the men that soon-to-be-ex wife Tracy Warbin, 42, is dating.” This divorce hasn’t exactly been making headlines, although The Enquirer reports that their custody battle is still in progress.

Now Noah, 39, is single again, reports the Enquirer, having dumped Gina, 48, because she was getting too serious.

[Noah's] rebound romance with Gina ended because [he] “didn’t want to be tied down,” says an insider.

“Noah and Gina had a whirlwind romance that fizzled out almost as quickly as it started. They had instant chemistry and a very intense sexual relationship. He really enjoyed the whole older woman-younger man dynamic.”

But Noah wanted to move on, while Gina wanted to settle down…

“When Gina started talking about settling down together, he felt she was getting way too involved, way too fast, and he called it quits.

“Noah wants romance in his life - as long as it doesn’t get serious.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, September 13, 2010]

At least he wasn’t cheating on her yet - or was he? He probably met someone else and realized he could get laid while putting less effort in. Oh well. He’s not as bad as David Boreanaz, Tiger Woods or Jesse James - as far as we can tell.

Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino, who was an assistant manager at a gym and used to work as a male stripper before his stint on Jersey Shore, will make an estimated $5 million this year. He also stands to rake in some cash for Dancing With the Stars, especially if he proves himself a competitor (doubtful, but possible) and hangs in there for a while. In case you thought that the ability to recognize when to cash in on his minor celebrity would come with the realization that it will be fleeting, you were probably wrong. The Situation has bought himself a Bentley costing over $100,000, and is getting it all tricked out.

It’s the car that abs bought — a 2008 Bentley coup for The Situation, and all he had to shell out was around $100,000.

Our Sitch sources say both cars were paid for through the brothers’ company — MPS Entertainment … brokered by Andy Eminger from Celebrity Rental.

We’re told the boys are getting the cars suped up with custom rims and sweet sound systems.

[From TMZ]

As for whether this douche rates a stint on Dancing with the Stars - did Kate Gosselin? She couldn’t dance and her bitchface and diva ‘tude stunk up the place, but people tuned it to watch it and that’s all that matters. The show even surpassed American Idol a few times, although Idol was really faltering under the weight of all those judges last season. E! Online points us to these comments that one of DWTS’ executive producers made about The Situation. The guy said that people will watch the show for him and that Jersey Shore is popular and that’s all that matters. “The reason has less to do with some lowering of the bar and more to do with the increased popularity of the reality shows and the rising star power of reality personalities themselves. Like him or hate him, The Situation is an incredibly recognizable celebrity who stars on a show that routinely thrashes scripted fare from a ratings standpoint.”

I’ve watched Jersey Shore one and a half times and that was plenty. The MTV people sent us a preview of the next episode and it involves some screaming and smacking between Sammi and J-Woww if you care. There’s a preview video up that’s just some dramatic music before the two get up in each other’s faces and start grabbing. The best part is seeing how short Snooki is compared to the other girls. The new episode airs tonight at 10pm.

Starring on this trashy show is how “The Situation” “earned” a Bentley and millions of dollars, along with maintaining a flat stomach and having the foresight to come up with a semi-catchy moniker. Unbelievable. Is this guy going to have a meltdown a la Spencer Pratt when his fame inevitably starts fading?

Yesterday we heard that Star Magazine was claiming that Ashton Kutcher was spotted outside the bathroom of a popular LA restaurant making out with an unknown blonde woman. Ashton and his wife of five years promptly denied that story through the Twitter accounts they’re glued to, with Ashton threatening legal action against Star and Demi Moore retweeting and agreeing. Then at some point Demi tweeted two photos of herself in a bikini, taken with a cellphone camera in the bathroom like the true 16 year-old seeking online approval she is. Many outlets picked up the story, but when I went to Demi’s Twitter account and Twitpic to find those specific tweets/photos they were gone. Did she realize what a desperate move that was and try to take it back? It was too late as the damage was already done. She looks hot of course, but it’s not about how she looks for once. Here’s more:

Demi Moore is hot and she wants the world to know it! The 47-year-old actress shared some bikini photos of herself on Twitter just to remind everyone how sexy she is. The timing of the photos comes amid reports that husband Ashton Kutcher was caught cheating with a “mystery blonde.” Who would want to compete with the near flawless Demi?

Ashton already debunked the rumors over Twitter, writing “I think Star magazine calling me a ‘cheater’ qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees.”

“STAR magazine – you don’t get to stand behind ‘freedom of the press’ when you are writing fiction.”

Demi wholeheartedly supported her hubby’s Tweets and sent out a little message of her own!

The actress donned a snakeskin-print string bikini and dark sunglasses, striking a pose in her bathroom.

Her Tweets accompanying the self-portraits — “Maybe this is more like summer!” and “Finally a day off.”

The happy couple attended a Snoop Dogg concert over weekend in Las Vegas, where Demi also showed off her young side doing a dirty dance in front of the audience.

[From OK! Magazine]

Just this once and just for today - I feel sorry for Demi and Ashton. I feel sorry for them if the story is true, and I feel sorry for them if it’s not. They’re insufferable fools but they don’t deserve this. It was a lame and obvious move for Demi to respond with a bikini pic, as if to say Ashton wouldn’t cheat on her because she’s hot. It doesn’t matter what your wife looks like, cheaters are going to cheat. I don’t know if Ashton did it, and as many of you said yesterday I doubt he would be stupid enough to do it in a public place like that where he would be seen. I wouldn’t put it past him, though, just as I wouldn’t put it past anyone really. I’ve been very surprised by some of these cheating scandals. Demi is still hot, we get it, but that isn’t enough to address this maybe-scandal and has the whiff of sad desperation. Maybe she’ll start to rethink her use of Twitter when impulsive moves like this may come back to bite her in the tight ass. She hasn’t been tweeting as much lately.

You’ve probably already seen the video of Demi dancing onstage with Snoop Dogg like a fool at a show in Vegas over the weekend. Here’s another video of that, taken from the audience, and Ashton looks embarrassed to me. It’s hard to tell though.

Outlets have some quotes from Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas’ cover story interview in People this week. A lot of them are focusing on how angry Catherine Zeta Jones says she is that it took so long for doctors to diagnose her husband’s throat cancer, which is now at stage 4. A “walnut-sized” tumor was found under his tongue and he’s gone through a week of chemotherapy and radiation so far to treat it. Douglas said on Letterman that his cancer has not spread beyond his head and neck, and that his prognosis is at least 80% or better. He admitted that it took weeks and many doctors to find out the problem and that “I actually went through a litany of doctors and tests and they didn’t find anything.” Zeta Jones says in People that she’s “furious they didn’t detect it earlier”

Catherine Zeta-Jones has revealed her anger at doctors who failed to spot her husband’s cancer.

She said Michael Douglas had complained repeatedly about ear and throat pain but it was not until three weeks ago that a walnut-size tumour was discovered under his tongue.

‘It makes me furious they didn’t detect it earlier,’ Miss Zeta-Jones said. ‘He sought every option and nothing was found.’

The actress, who has been married to 65-year-old Douglas for ten years, admitted she wasn’t that surprised when throat cancer was finally diagnosed.
‘It wasn’t a huge shock,’ she said in a magazine interview. ‘I knew something was up. He knew something was up.’

While his wife was furious about the late diagnosis, Douglas was more understanding.

‘These things sometimes just don’t show up,’ he said.

He said his family were at their home on Bermuda while he has treatment in New York. He said Miss Zeta-Jones, 40, had been ’so supportive’ since the diagnosis.
She said in her interview with People magazine that her husband had broken the news of his illness to their children Dylan, ten, and Carys, seven.

She also revealed she was struggling emotionally with seeing him lose his strength as a result of the treatment. ‘I know maybe I should be stronger, but…the hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired.’

[From The Daily Mail]

This just goes to show that even rich and famous people, presumably with access to the best doctors in the world, have trouble getting a diagnosis. From what I understand there’s no way to detect cancer other than looking at the symptoms, checking blood markers and doing an MRI, x-ray or biopsy where it’s suspected. If the guy has a “walnut-sized” tumor under his tongue, was it obvious and why didn’t anyone just look in his damn mouth? This is sadly common even when people have the best insurance. Medicine is not an exact science and requires a lot of knowledge and motivation on the doctor’s part. There are bad doctors out there, just as there are good doctors using all means at their disposal to do what’s best for their patients. Sometimes it’s too late before you find a good one.

I hope that Douglas is going to be ok, and that the treatment works for him. He seems to be hanging in there and he has so many people rooting for him. We’ll never know if his cancer could have been caught earlier if one of the doctors he saw just asked the right questions or followed up properly. That’s got to make his loved ones livid.

Miranda Kerr has a new video to promote her organic skincare line, Kora. She shops for food at a farmers market in NY City, does yoga, and cooks, explaining that she has a busy life but that “I’ve created my own organic lifestyle that no matter where I am, I get to apply this lifestyle. I really believe that everyone can incorporate that lifestyle into their own life. Kora is an integral part of that lifestyle. I’ve created Kora as I wasn’t able to find an organic skincare line that I was 100% happy with or that contained all the ingredients that I wanted and knew were beneficial to the skin.”

Everyone is talking about how you can see Miranda’s tiny baby bump while she does yoga in the video. To me the takeaway from this is that she’s just as much of a lifestyle preacher and know-it-all as Gwyneth Paltrow. She seems to have less sense than Gwyneth, too. I found her annoying, honestly, and it’s like she thinks she’s blessing us with her unique knowledge of skincare, some of which is complete bunk that she obviously takes seriously. Listen to this:

“All of the water used in our mists have been infused with rose quartz crystals, and we’ve done that so that the vibration of love associated with rose quartz really flows through each product.”

I asked my husband, who has a PhD in biophysics, to help me comment on this ridiculous claim. He writes “Rose quartz is rose due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese and just because of the stupid pink colour it is associated with love. Quartz structures are very tight and would not store any energy, such as kinetic energy in vibrations.” You can make quartz and other minerals vibrate, as they’re used in watches and other electronic devices, but that requires using an external force on the mineral. They don’t have “vibrations” on their own. (Here’s more on that.) What’s more is that water has no “memory” and it’s been well proven that “liquid water does not maintain ordered networks of molecules longer than a small fraction of a nanosecond.” (That quote is from Wikipedia.)

Miranda Kerr thinks that her skincare line is superior because she used some crystals in the water for it, though. I guess we know why she became a model and didn’t pursue academics.

She concludes by saying “Kora is about nurturing your own uniqueness, your inner and outer beauty, and your soul.”

I’ll say something nice - she looks cute pregnant. She’ll probably be one of those women who doesn’t look like they gained weight except for in front, damn them. Also, I like that her skincare line is organic and fragrance free. I use mostly organic skincare as I’m sensitive to perfumes. There are a lot of good products available though and you don’t have to spend a fortune to have nice skin. You don’t need “love water” either. There’s no such thing.

We haven’t heard from Celine Dion in some time. She’s still pregnant after many heartbreaking attempts, and her husband lets us know that she’s healthy and doing well. She isn’t even in the hospital, contrary to reports, and is a full seven months into her pregnancy. Celine and her husband Rene Angelil confirm that she’s having twin boys! In May they announced that they were expecting twins and now they’re confirming a story from Star that they’re having twin boys! Good for them. The boys will join Celine and Rene’s son, Rene-Charles, 9. It’s thought that the twins were conceived using embryos left over from when Celine underwent IVF for Rene ten years ago.

Celine Dion – and the twin boys she is expecting in November – are just fine, thank you very much.

Recent reports in a French tabloid claiming that the singer was rushed to the hospital following pregnancy complications are “completely fabricated,” Dion’s rep tells PEOPLE.

“She’s never been in the hospital – her pregnancy continues to be healthy and she feels fantastic.”

In fact, Dion has so far gained 33 lbs., and has continued with the acupuncture treatments she has credited with helping her have a successful pregnancy.

Dion, 42, who will return to Las Vegas for a new show at Caesars Palace next year, has been following doctors’ orders to take it easy as she heads into her final two months.

“As with most women expecting multiples, her doctor wants her to stay off her feet as much as possible as she finishes her pregnancy,” says her rep.

During what has been a very joyful time, Dion and husband/manager Rene Angelil were distressed by the reports of complications.

“They’ve gotten calls from friends worried that something is wrong. To be so happy and then to get these calls, it’s been upsetting for them when they are in such a good place,” says her rep.

“Their son Rene-Charles started the new school year last week, Celine’s feeling great, and she and Rene are excited to meet the twins – they just can’t wait.”

[From People]

The last time we heard from Celine was June, when she said that she was exhausted and felt like she had been pregnant for over a year. It sounds like things are picking up for her especially now that she’s in the home stretch. Those boys are going to have a lot of love around them. They’re also going to have an awesome place to play when they get older. Check out the huge waterpark at Celine and Rene’s estate in Florida. It’s got one of those “lazy river” type circular pools with a current that carries you around. Can you imagine?

Congratulations to Renee and Celine and we’ll surely be seeing photos of those babies in time for their first Christmas.
