Thursday Thirteen #2 - Diva Style
Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week - with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me - I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:
- In the world of irony, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes welcome the arrival of Suri, the TomKat kitten on the VERY same day that Brooke Sheilds announces arrival of her newborn daughter, Grier. Wasn’t it Tom and Brooke who had words previously about the pros and cons of anti-depressant medications? Let’s see who wins the post-partum depression battle!
- Britney is all set to sue the makers of the high chair that injured Baby Sean earlier last week. “The chair’s back broke,” a “family insider” explained to the mag. “She’s going to see if there was a fault in the chair.”. K-Fed must be using up her bank account QUICK - - nothing promises a quick buck like a good lawsuit!
- Is Whitney Houston really gonna kick the crack habit this time? - - What kind of good reality TV is a sober Whitney gonna make? Maybe she’ll go back to singing again - - that is, if she hasn’t fried her vocal chords with all that smack!
- British Newspaper, The Sun, apologized to Terri Hatcher after publishing that she was doing the nasty in a trailer with guys parked outside her home. In December, Terri Hatcher accepted an undisclosed amount from another tabloid, The Daily Sport, for making the same claims. So, basically - Hatcher is getting paid for not getting laid. I want that job!
- The latest BUMP watch is on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt - they’ve moved to Nambia, South Africa to have the Brangelina spawn and are considering a Nambian name for the child so little Maddox and Zahara don’t feel weird for having such funky names, themselves. In other Brangelina news - - a judge in California has granted a name change for the children from Jolie to Jolie-Pitt. Brad has officially adopted them - - but hasn’t married their mother yet.
- Luke Perry is asking for a little restraint…against a woman the actor says is harassing him and his two children, that is. Poor guy
- Kevin Federline criticizes Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson saying he doesn’t believe in divorce. Shit, if I were married to Britney’s bank account - I wouldn’t believe in divorce either - - I’d be TOTALLY against it!
- Colin Farrell settled his sex tape fiasco with his ex-girlfriend. Last year, Farrell accused Narain of trying to distribute the tape through an intermediary. He sought general and compensatory damages and demanded that all copies of the tape be returned to him. I’m sure we’ll be seeing it on the internet any day now (ala’ Paris)
- Cher apologized for not thanking her director EIGHTEEN years ago when she won an Oscar for Best Actress in Moonstruck. She thanked her hairdresser instead, which angered many. Personally, I don’t remember it - - but 18 years later?? Talk about poor timing, Cher!
- Heather Locklear (who looks outrageously sexy for her age!) is dating David Spade. You know.. I’ve read a lot of commentary on this relationship where no one can see it, imagine it or believe it - -but on some strange level.. I can see it. I wish them the best
- The famous and infamous heiress is launching a line of cell phone games, with the first expected to be a puzzle game released worldwide this summer. Oh. Gee. I just can’t wait. Can you?
- Michael Jackson will be releasing a new album soon. Oh. Gee. I just can’t wait. Can you? (it justified repeating for this one)
- Celebrity Birthdays on this Thursday Thirteen day: Actor Ryan O’Neal is 65, Actress Jessica Lange is 57, Actor Crispin Glover is 42, Actress Carmen Electra is 34, Actor Joey Lawrence is 30, Actor Clint Howard is 47, Country singer Wade Hayes is 37.
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

1. I don’t want to wish PPD on Katie, but it would be interesting to see how that would be handled by Tom.
2. Uh-huh…likely story. She seems a little desperate.
You know, Britney and Whitney (and their names rhyme) are proof positive that being with the wrong can ruin you.
5. Weirdos.
6. He’s still a hottie.
7. K-Fed is the biggest moron!
10. He’s not really attractive, but a sense of humor is a sexy trait.
12. Yawn. No thanks.
Happy Thursday!

Louise Said:
Great.
Love the diva comments. Read that Katie insisted that she go to hospital and get an epidural. You go girl.
carmen Said:
David Spade was on “Ellen” and said that they weren’t dating. Hmmm. Protesting too much?
Britney and Kevin - they are such white trash. I can say this, because I come from white-trash-ville.
Tom Cruise needs medication. Katie needs valium to put up with him.
Fun list!

angie Said:
Great list! I love to watch the stupidity that is celebrities.
Chi Said:
I enjoyed reading about the celebs in yout TT but I definitely will not be buying MJ’s latest album. LOL
jay Said:
I was on the floor laughing when I heard Katie and Tom Cruise named their daughter Suri. There is a town by where I live called Surrey, so it’s pronouned the same. It is notorious for being a scummy part of town, and there are no many Surrey girl jokes, about how they are easy . So, when I heard Suri, I nearly died. It has such a bad connotation here, and I am sure her name will be made fun of here because everyone is always telling surrey jokes.
Jen Said:
This is a cool 13!
Kevin and Britney scare me. So do Tom and Katie. Although I do think Katie will turn out OK if she gets away from Tom and gets a good deprogrammer. The other three appear to be lost causes.
My TT is up!
