Adopting:
Bang! Showbiz reports actress ANGELINA JOLIE has started the process to bring home yet still another baby girl --this time from Syria. Angie already has three adopted children and another three with actor BRAD PITT. A spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Washington, DC, says "only Angelina's name was on the adoption papers."
Trivia: name the six kids. Ans: MADDOX, ZAHARA, (both adopted); SHILOH (biological), PAX (adopted), and the twins, KNOX and VIVIENNE.Grace notes:
FERGIE is bi-sexual. You gotta problem with that? The BLACK EYED PEAS singer told The Advocate that she's never made her interest in girls a secret, but now that she's married to "Transformers" beefcake JOSH DUHAMEL, it's just men for her... or specifically, one man. Fergie says that through therapy, she realizes that being with a girl now would be cheating on Josh and that's not cool. (Marino)
Nashville update:
Editor's note: The RBR's Cory Myers is in Nashville this week for the 43rd Annual CMA Awards and files this report.
KELLIE PICKLER held a showcase to entertain fans and radio people alike in the Ford Theater at the Country Music Hall of Fame. She sang her songs and kep the audience in hysterics with her stories and all around funny personality.
Best of all, she "punked" a bunch of reps from her record label and nearly gave them all a heart attack. While warming up for her show at the Hall of Fame, they asked her to sign a bunch of guitars that will be auctioned off for charity. Kellie told them she did sign all of them plus the big, black one on the other side. Well, that guitar was on display and it belonged to JOHNNY CASH! Kellie said she saw the signature, didn't realize who it was, and just signed the guitar.
Her label reps were freaking out and one even got the phone to Sharpie to see how best to remove the marker! She eventually let them in on her joke, and they didn't believe her! She went running off stage to tell them she was just kidding and didn't sign The Man in Black's guitar at all.Sheer stupidity:
Doctors in Peru don't know how one man is still alive after finding out what he ate.
Agence France-Presse say surgeons just pulled two-pounds of nails, coins and scrap metal from REQUELME ALVARADO's stomach. One doctor says, "The patient came in with severe abdominal pains. After examinations we discovered that he had hundreds of nails in his stomach."
It took docs two hours to remove all the junk and stitch him back up. Now, Alvarado is being sent over to the mental health ward for examination.
Editor's note: What's the big deal? Nutritionists have been stressing the importance of an iron-rich diet for years.
--Strange. Junk food doesn't usually come from the junk yard. (Still)For Sale:
JOE MONTANA's house can now be yours, for the right price. The football hero put his California retreat up for sale this fall. At 500-acres, the property actually straddles two counties (Napa and Sonoma).
The house itself is 97-hundred square feet, with amenities like a beer tap tower, lots of hidden flat screen TV's, a 45-foot-deep pond stocked with bass, 17-heated horse stalls, velvet furniture, and a killer barbecue area. Plus the obligatory pool, basketball court, and skeet shooting range.
Joe and JESSICA listed their pad with Coldwell Banker Previews International and Pacific Union for the low, low price of $49-million dollars. They moved out to be closer to their sons, 400-miles south of the Montana mini-kingdom. (Couchman)Most attractive people in the world:
New survey from the Danish web site, BeautifulPeople.com, says Britons are among the ugliest people in the world, and Americans rank somewhere in the middle of the list. According to the dating website, Swedish men have a 65 percent acceptance rate to the site, while Norwegian women are considered the hottest with 76 percent accepted.
The dating site accepts potential members and then the existing members of the opposite sex have 48 hours to vote on them --either:
--"Yes definitely,"
--"Yes, O.K,"
--"No, not really," and
--"No definitely not."Most attractive men:
