Nick is the one who dated Ms. Hilton, yes. I can't imagine a worse fate than being busted for DUI in Huntington Beach, of all places.

It's reported that the reason Mr. Cruise was at the BET awards last night is because he wants to do a film with Will Smith after he finishes Mission IMpossible III

Mocha - yes

KR - ITA about the supposed "interaction". Why are all of these Hollywood celebs on so much prescription medication?

Maybe Tom's leather jacket wearing/motorcycle-riding public appearances have been a silent "I love you" nod to Rob.

Terry McMillan Seeks Divorce
Jun 29, 6:53 AM EST

The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO -- Author Terry McMillan has filed for divorce from the man who inspired the 1996 novel "How Stella Got Her Groove Back," which chronicled the romantic adventures of a 40-something woman who falls for a guy half her age.

In papers filed in Contra Costa County Superior Court, McMillan, 53, says she decided to end her 6 1/2-year marriage to Jonathan Plummer, 30, after learning he is gay.

The revelation led her to conclude Plummer married only to get his U.S. citizenship, she said. McMillan met Plummer at a Jamaican resort a decade ago.

"It was devastating to discover that a relationship I had publicized to the world as life-affirming and built on mutual love was actually based on deceit," she said in court papers. "I was humiliated."

In response, Plummer maintained McMillan treated him with "homophobic" scorn bordering on harassment since he came out to her as gay just before Christmas.

McMillan is seeking to have the marriage annulled; Plummer has asked the court to set aside a prenuptial agreement that would prevent him from getting spousal support.

McMillan filed for divorce in January, but news of the split didn't surface until this week, when it was first reported in a San Francisco Chronicle gossip column. Earlier this month, a judge ordered McMillan to pay Plummer $2,000 a month in spousal support and $25,000 in attorney's fees until the case comes back to court in October.

McMillan's latest novel, "The Interruption of Everything," is scheduled to hit store shelves next month. It plots the mid-life adventures of a married mother of three who is questioning her comfortable suburban life.

McMillan said she did not plan to let a divorce "detract from the many blessings in her life," according to a statement released through her publicist.

Plummer's attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.


Could it be that Tom had something to do with this?

This is really hitting below the belt -- bringing my beloved Rob Thomas into it!

No way do I buy that rumor. Rob would never stoop so low.

I had forgotten about Tom's short stature. He's reeking of short man syndrome. I've dated enough short men to see it a mile away.

LOL it seems some charlatan is attempting to sell a blue towel on EBAY claiming it is the authentic one used by Tom in the water prank. Etalk says the bids are up to $1100 CAD so far .

This is definitely a fraudulent sale as it was an Etalk Daily Tshirt NOT a towel that Tom used.

Ebay told Etalk ( when they enquired re this fraud) :

buyer beware. Always check out the seller before buying.

Well the next thing we should see is Jenny "From the Block" Lopez in full twirl. I shall expect an announcement by the end of the day that she's pregnant with quadruplets and divorcing Marc Anthony to marry their real father, Matt Damon.

Affleck, Garner Wed, Expecting Baby
Jun 30, 12:15 PM EST

The Associated Press

NEW YORK -- After months of speculation, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have tied the knot — and she's pregnant.

Representatives for both Affleck and Garner confirmed the marriage to The Associated Press on Thursday. The publicists, Ken Sunshine and Nicole King, also for the first time confirmed that Garner is pregnant with her first child. Sunshine and King would not give any other details.

The confirmation came after Us Weekly reported that Affleck, 32, and Garner, 33, were wed Wednesday at the Parrot Cay resort in the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos. The National Enquirer also released photos they claimed showed Garner arriving on the islands.

Garner and Affleck met while they were shooting the action flick "Daredevil," but they didn't begin dating until last year.

She has been filming the drama "Catch and Release" in Vancouver, Canada. Affleck will star as George Reeves, television's Superman, in the upcoming movie "Truth, Justice, and the American Way."

A new bride and a number one single? Second place ain't half bad for Bo Bice.

The American Idol runner-up tied the knot June 15 with longtime girlfriend Caroline Fisher in their hometown of Helena, Alabama. The newlywed news was confirmed Thursday by Roger Widynowski, publicist for Bice's label, RCA Records.

War of Words

By BROOKE SHIELDS
Published: July 1, 2005
London

I WAS hoping it wouldn't come to this, but after Tom Cruise's interview with Matt Lauer on the NBC show "Today" last week, I feel compelled to speak not just for myself but also for the hundreds of thousands of women who have suffered from postpartum depression. While Mr. Cruise says that Mr. Lauer and I do not "understand the history of psychiatry," I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Mr. Cruise has never suffered from postpartum depression.

I never thought I would have postpartum depression. After two years of trying to conceive and several attempts at in vitro fertilization, I thought I would be overjoyed when my daughter, Rowan Francis, was born in the spring of 2003. But instead I felt completely overwhelmed. This baby was a stranger to me. I didn't know what to do with her. I didn't feel at all joyful. I attributed feelings of doom to simple fatigue and figured that they would eventually go away. But they didn't; in fact, they got worse.

I couldn't bear the sound of Rowan crying, and I dreaded the moments my husband would bring her to me. I wanted her to disappear. I wanted to disappear. At my lowest points, I thought of swallowing a bottle of pills or jumping out the window of my apartment.

I couldn't believe it when my doctor told me that I was suffering from postpartum depression and gave me a prescription for the antidepressant Paxil. I wasn't thrilled to be taking drugs. In fact, I prematurely stopped taking them and had a relapse that almost led me to drive my car into a wall with Rowan in the backseat. But the drugs, along with weekly therapy sessions, are what saved me - and my family.

Since writing about my experiences with the disease, I have been approached by many women who have told me their stories and thanked me for opening up about a topic that is often not discussed because of fear, shame or lack of support and information. Experts estimate that one in 10 women suffer, usually in silence, with this treatable disease. We are living in an era of so-called family values, yet because almost all of the postnatal focus is on the baby, mothers are overlooked and left behind to endure what can be very dark times.

And comments like those made by Tom Cruise are a disservice to mothers everywhere. To suggest that I was wrong to take drugs to deal with my depression, and that instead I should have taken vitamins and exercised shows an utter lack of understanding about postpartum depression and childbirth in general.

If any good can come of Mr. Cruise's ridiculous rant, let's hope that it gives much-needed attention to a serious disease. Perhaps now is the time to call on doctors, particularly obstetricians and pediatricians, to screen for postpartum depression. After all, during the first three months after childbirth, you see a pediatrician at least three times. While pediatricians are trained to take care of children, it would make sense for them to talk with new mothers, ask questions and inform them of the symptoms and treatment should they show signs of postpartum depression.

In a strange way, it was comforting to me when my obstetrician told me that my feelings of extreme despair and my suicidal thoughts were directly tied to a biochemical shift in my body. Once we admit that postpartum is a serious medical condition, then the treatment becomes more available and socially acceptable. With a doctor's care, I have since tapered off the medication, but without it, I wouldn't have become the loving parent I am today.

So, there you have it. It's not the history of psychiatry, but it is my history, personal and real.
