Do you guys even know who the founder is for Jimmy Choo? The co-owner is Tamara Mellon and the other owner is her mother, socialite Ann Yeardye. I guess there isn’t much love going around their home these days. I say that cause Tamara Mellon just filed a civil complaint seeking $10 million against her mommy because of Jimmy Choo’s internationally successful business in 2004.

This is what I read from PEOPLE. Mellon received the majority of her share from the sale in the form of company stocks while “MOMMY DEAREST” received hers in cash! No big deal right? WRONG, its a big deal! Ann Yeardye got part of her daughters money transferred to her by accident. Tamara Mellon asked her mom several times for it back and she refused so she had asked her mother to just give it too her granddaughter in a trust fund. Mom again refused. So the only way to make mommy see what kind of problem this was becoming, was to sue her. Tamara Mellon also says that her mom wasn’t even a part of the day to day runnings of the business. SAD isn’t it??? Even rich people have problems and go after their own families when it comes to money.

I sure do hope they can resolve this matter and get over it and just be a loving family!!!!

I honestly don’t know if this is true. I just read that Jamie Lynn Spears is going to give up her baby to her mom once the child is born! Yeah you read it right, the girl is giving her baby to her mama. Why you ask? So that she can focus on her career. I just had to laugh when I read this.

My question is, what is the father’s opinion on this? He has a right to take care of that child by himself if she doesn’t want to.

Do you know how many teenage mothers there are out there working going to school and taking care of their little ones? If they can do it she can do the same thing but have more of an advantage, called a NANNY! I understand that she is trying to do the right thing, but the right thing would be for her to be responsible along side the father. Thats just my opinion, but like I said this can be a false rumor going around and we don’t know the whole truth.

What do you think?

I just came across this website called Girl Mogul. It is filled with all sorts of girl empowerment products like clothing. To quote their website “GirlMogul is an attitude, a way of approaching life that says you can be and do what you dream. It defies convention and stereotyping and is inspiring and encouraging.” That is my daughter to a tee. She is so independent it is almost tough to deal with sometimes. It is in a good way though. I have made sure to raise her to be independent and not co-dependent on someone else to get her through life. It is this independence that makes her a GirlMogul.

My daughter especially likes the shirt that says “Future Marine Biologist” as she is absolutely positive that is what she is going to be. It is her fascination with Dolphins that has driven her to want this as a full time career. She absolutely loves all sorts of animals but there is just something about the horses and dolphins that really keep her attention. She is going to love this shirt and I know that she is going to wear it all the time. Check out the shirt below and tell me if you don’t think it is just the best ever.

Heath Ledger’s family is on there way to New York for their sons funeral. Funeral arrangements have been made but they are not releasing any information because his family asked them not to. I don’t blame them, this is something that should be private.

Do you really wanna know what is really sad and if I were the family, upsetting? They found out about their son’s death through the press. Can you believe it? I just can’t believe that nobody called their family first before going public. According to PEOPLE, one of Heath Ledger’s uncle’s Neil Bell told PEOPLE: “I heard about his death in the press, and I called his mother to find out what was happening, and even she didn’t know, Heath’s father found out through the press…It’s a pretty devastating way to find out.” Uumm yeah, I would say so. That is just so wrong. Do you think they at least notified Michelle Williams first before she found out through the press? I sure hope they did.

I will continue to update as it comes out!!!

Every day more and more people are having themselves changed in some way or another. Some are making simple changes like eating right or working out more. Some are making changes that are much more drastic and noticeable. I am talking about the large group of celebrities out there that are having some sort of work done on their bodies. This number used to be a lot less in the past but it seems like every year it is drastically increasing. I heard that last year alone California breast augmentation was more than 10x what is was just ten years ago. That is a huge increase in surgeries in a very short amount of time.

The worst part is that I am not sure that it is always for the better. I am not saying that there are not good plastic surgery centers out there. I mean, I have heard that Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery is some of the best plastic surgery in the world. What I am saying is that I think people’s perception of what they want to look like and how they actually look is two totally different things.

Let’s look at a celebrity for a minute. Nikki Cox from the hit television series Las Vegas is a beautiful girl. Or at least was a beautiful girl until recently. She has had some work done in the last year that has really altered her appearance and natural beauty and not in a good way. Michael Jackson is another easy example of taking things too far. If you want to have plastic surgery done go for it. If you want to be a little thinner than look into a little Beverly Hills liposuction but for God’s sake don’t mess up your face in the search for perfection. It is just not right, especially when you already look better than most people.

As reported by TMZ, they did confirm that Xanax, Valium, Ambien and other prescribed medications where at the house of Heath Ledger. The Ambien prescribtion was prescribed in Europe. The Xanax and Valium are anti-anxiety drugs!

The autopsy has been been said to be inconclusive. Which means that it will take from 10 days to two weeks for them to find out what really caused his death. It doesn’t mean that he actually tried to kill himself but that it could have been and accidental overdose.

Other reports are that the NYPD also found a rolled up $20 bills with some sort of powdery substance. They haven’t tested it yet for drugs and will not comment any further.

Heath Ledgers body has been released to a New York City Funeral Home, but we will not know for awhile what arrangements are being made.

I’m just so sad right now, I mean he was so young and talented. We will always remember Heath Ledger!!! I hope Michelle Williams is doing o.k. and that she is staying strong through this hard time.

More and more celebrities are making a name for themselves in more ways than just the silver screen. An actor used to be just an actor but it is more and more common now to see an actor opening their own nightclubs, restaurants or even branching out and bringing out there own line of clothing. With everything from perfumes to champagne brands to spinning rims celebrities names are becoming synonymous with products and businesses worldwide. It makes me wonder, when a celebrity decides that they are going to branch out in a new business venture do they have to go out and look for Fast Business Capital like the rest of us to get started or do you think that they just pull out s little petty cash. I would think that the tax write offs for them to get a loan for the business startup would be greater than just fronting it all out of pocket. Let’s face it, when you are bringing in over 20 million a year you could use all of the tax breaks you could get.
