In The News: Jen & Ben, Vince & Jen, Jessica Kicks Herself in the Ass, Blogger Brunch, etc...

LOTS going on today! Let's get started.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck had a baby girl. (Everyone together now: awwwww!) First reports are that they named her Violet. That will work great for her when she's a grandma in the year 2065. Until then, there's the schoolyard teasing: "Violet! You're turning violet, Violet!" The name is just one letter away from violent, which is never good. Anyway, I am sure they'll be great parents, regardless of the scarring they've inflicted with the name. (No offense to Scottish Lass's mum!)

Vince Vaughn, with Jennifer in the passenger seat, was pulled over in Scottsdale, AZ, where they were visiting his father. Vince was given a sobriety test, which he passed. Regardless, the two cuties piled into their friends' car. (Vince--be careful with Jennifer!!)

Speaking of drunk driving, within fifteen minutes of each other, both Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros were charged with DUI in Hawaii (the chicas star on Lost). Bet they wish they'd driven together. Makes me glad I don't have a car.

Oh, man! Did ya watch Oprah on Letterman? Now that was a good show, people! Oprah looked absolutely gorgeous! I loved that dress, and all the shades of purple that were going on all over the place. Dave was like a teenager on a first date, I tell ya, especially when he was escorting her to the Broadway Theater. Of course, he's not accustomed to all that paparazzi. He even whispered to Oprah "Can you see anything?" with regard to all the flashes (thanks to my best friend, I can kinda read lips, so watch out!). In the photo to the right, Oprah is presenting Dave with a photo of her and Uma, signed "Love, Uma. More love, Oprah." The only thing that bugged me was that several times, Oprah pointed out that they were actually having a conversation and he wasn't just throwing jokes out there. Overall, there were some really good lines by Dave, and Oprah was a great guest.

Doh! Turns out that Jessica Simpson didn't want to sign a pre-nup that soon-to-be-ex Nick Lachey had drawn up before they were married. Although that was smart of her at the time (she had high hopes for them to defy the odds, and he was making a lot more with that boy band), she could now get screwed big time! As we all know, their financial positions did a big ol' flip flop, and now she is worth a helluva lot more that Nick (sister earned $35 mill in 2004 alone). Under Cali law, all monies earned during the marriage can be split 50/50; therefore, if they don't settle out of court, Jess could be handing Nick tens of millions of dollars. If he is smart, they won't be settling out of court, but they both better watch their steps in the meantime.

Remember that post I did a couple days ago for my Sony Home Theater system? Well, get this! Some girl offered me more than I was asking. Maybe she got Craig's List confused with eBay, but I ain't complaining!

Who am I gonna see at the blogger brunch on Sunday?? 12:30 at Asylum in Adams Morgan. Don't gimme any of that "I'll be partying too hard Saturday night to make it to brunch on Sunday." The best cure is the hair of the dog that bit ya, so get yer arse up and order a couple bloody marys. Besides, since I have no life anymore, this brunch will be my only recent social event, so be there! Oh, and OF COURSE, the brunch is all for Chase, which is a much better argument.

P.S. My photo page has been updated. Well, maybe not, as blogger is being a prick, but I am trying to update.
