Former "The View" Host Star Jones To Divorce Husband Al Reynolds
"Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."

Chloe Lattanzi Rocks The House On MTV's "Rock The Cradle"
Chloe Lattanzi worked the stage and the crowd, performing last but definitely not least, on MTV's Rock The Cradle last Thursday.
Chloe performed I Hate Everything About You by rockers 3 Days Grace and she really got into the performance, even more than the prior week when she performed Never Tear Us Apart by INXS (when INXS was led by the late Michael Hutchince, who died November 1997). Although I also like Landon Brown a lot, Chloe is the whole package. Landon needs a tad bit of work on his vocals, although he is good in every other aspect.
Chloe is my favorite. Let's hope she goes all the way to the finals!

Britney Spears In Traffic Accident In California
Vanilla Ice Arrested For Domestic Battery; Ordered To Stay Away From His Wife
Rapper/reality TV star Vanilla Ice was arrested last night in Florida for an alleged domestic dispute with his wife, Laura Van Winkle.
The cops arrived to their home (after Laura called 911) to find Vanilla Ice (real name Robert Van Winkle) near his home on his motorcycle, where Ice said he was "cooling off" after the incident. Police determined that Laura didn't have any visible injuries on her and she then explained to the authorities that Ice had pushed her, but not hit or kicked her as originally stated in the 911 call. Laura also told the cops who arrived on the scene that she wants a divorce from the one-time rapper and that the incident started over her purchasing a bedroom set, which reportedly set Vanilla Ice off into a rage.
Ice told police that his wife suffers bipolar disorder and that she is currently being treated for it with medications. He said she had been acting irrational and he denied any physical interaction with Laura.
Vanilla Ice spent the night in jail and showed up at a court in Palm Beach County, Florida earlier this morning, where Judge Nancy Perez ordered Ice to stay away from Laura. The former rapper can have telephone contact only with her. In addition, he can only have temporary contact with his children through a mutual family friend and Ice can go to the house one time only to retrieve his personal belongings with a police escort.
Vanilla Ice was also arrested back in 2004 for a charge of domestic battery.

Jennifer Lopez Chooses Tom Cruise As Godfather Of Her Newborn Twins
Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez has reportedly chosen actor Tom Cruise as the Godfather of her newborn twins Max and Emme, both whom she just welcomed into the world in late February along with her husband and father of the twins, singer Marc Anthony.
La Lopez allegedly had to do some real convincing to get Marc Anthony (full name Marco Antonio Muniz) to agree to the decision with some hesitation and resistance to the idea. Sources say the values of Lopez and Anthony's traditional Catholic upbringing paired with newly appointed Godfather Tom Cruise's Scientology involvement, may cause the parents of Lopez and Anthony and their respective families to be uncomfortable with Lopez's decision.

Jay Z And Beyonce's Star-Studded NYC Wedding
So it seems that the rumors were true after all. Jay-Z and Beyonce appear to have wed on Friday Night at Jay-Z's multi-million dollar penthouse on Hudson Street at Desbrosses and Vestry Street in the TriBeCa section of Lower Manhattan.
I rushed over with my camera as soon as I heard the rumors (after all, I don't live far from there). Solange (sister of Beyonce) showed up (pictured above). Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, singer Chris Martin of the band ColdPlay arrived (trying to cover their faces) to a media frenzy. Oscar winner Forest Whitaker showed up. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child showed up hiding behind umbrellas to shield themselves from the paparazzi crush.
A fight between two photographers on the scene almost escalated to full-force mayhem when they began a push and shove match to get Gwyneth Paltrow's picture upon the actress' entrance into the luxury building where the event was being held.
Also in attendance were Gloria Carter (mother of Jay-Z) and Tina and Mathew Knowles (parents of Beyonce).
The event was rumored to be a celebration for Jay-Z's newly inked $150 million dollar deal with Live Nation, but quickly turned toward the idea that it was a wedding when guest arrived dressed impeccably and parents of both artists arrived, flowers were delivered, etc.
