This time it the convergence was harmless. It was for the White House Correspondent's Dinner - in other words a political non event. It's a win-win situation: Celebs get to see and be seen among the politico and 'respectable' journalists, plus the chances of them doing any harm by trying to sway public opinion is minimal.
I hear that the Pres got a ton of laughs. Now that's not a distinction. George Bush got tons of laughs to. The difference being that we were laughing at Bush and not with him.
People are still speculating about what caused the split between Halle Berry & Gabriel Aubry. Both parties are being tight lipped and playing it close to the vest. So far the only public statements sound like vows at a commitment ceremony - "we're special people who will always love each other", etc.
The only definite info in the story is that Halle dumped Aubry. Apparently he was going through some sort of mid life crisis and that made Halle feel awkward about her age or something.
Age is a touchy issue in Follywood and the glitterati can't start fending off the ravages of age - and their fast lane lifestyle - soon enough. Take Heidi Montag for instance. Though not yet 30, she's had a ton of plastic surgery. Some said that it was completely unnecessary while Hedi felt that it made her feel better. Beauty is confidence as those relentless TV ads say.
When asked about it by TV chat host Wendy Williams, Montag's The Hills co star Kristin Cavallari decided to hedge the issue completely, rather than resorting to the half truths of TV adverteasing. Watch and learn how to handle a hot potato.
That wasn't so much a hot potato as a live grenade with the pin pulled out. Just glad that no one got hurt in the taping of that segment.
