Miss Katie Holmes is on her way to becoming the new Mrs. Chris Klein...! And who even knew that the two actors were together?! Well, only die-hard fans would probably have known. The two have been good about keeping their relationship low-key, which can be hard to do among the Hollywood pack. But the Dawson's Creek actress has dressed-up and is ready to walk the aisle with her co-actor fiance.Just a side note... Thank goodness that Katie Holmes is no longer seeing Joshua Jackson. Ewww. What was she thinking?! When I think Pacey, I think gross hair-style. I don't know why...?! LOL.
In recent times, Katie Holmes has been making a name for herself in Hollywood. With Chris already a veteran in the movie biz, Katie is also raking in the jobs. She's impressed directors and producers starting with her work in 1997's The Ice Storm, and she has been wowing critics ever since. She became a regular on Dawson's Creek taking on the role of Joey Potter, a role that was actually being considered for a then very up-and-coming Selma Blair. Producers for Dawson's eventually chose Katie for the plum role, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Katie made waves in several films. To her credit she has been featured in The Gift, Go!, and more recently, Pieces of April. She is also slated to appear in the up-and-coming romantic comedy, First Daughter, where she will play the daughter of the President of the United States. It's also been said that a role in the upcoming Batman feature is in the works for the actress. Chris, likewise, will be featured in the April release of The United States of Leland. Looks like there will be lots of projects for the two stars in the very near future.
On their engagement, Katie seems to be enamored by Chris's midwestern charm. "I love the Midwestern mentality," she once gushed. The Toledo, Ohio native reels off her being smitten by the home-grown charms and good looks of Nebraska's son, Chris Klein. No date has been set by the happy couple, but it's sure to be something that their fans will definitely be looking forward to.
GOLDEN COUPLES AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES. 27-Jan-2004
Usually a fashion DOer, J.Lo seems to have missed the mark this go-around. Her peachy/orange/bronze number was not flattering. In fact, it made her look fat. The Grecianesque dress was a good try, but it just didn't work. You could tell that she was trying to go simple, but stated. But in essence, J.Lo ended up simple and understated. Sadness. A direct hit due to her crumbling romance with Ben? Perhaps...
Another miss was definitely Sophia Coppola. Well, she didn't sport a bad dress, but the shoes she wore was definitely off-the-mark. And I don't mean that in a good way. As an heiress to the Coppola name in film, she could've (and should've) done herself up a bit more. No, she could've done herself a LOT better.
On-the-mark, Christina Ricci did well in a very chic vintage black dress. It was actually very slimming for her. Uma Thurman was ever-the-goddess in her lavender Versace gown. And Amber Tamblyn sported a very elegant dress at her first Golden Globes.
Aside from the women in hot gowns, or the gents in finely-tuned suits... it was definitely a night for couples. Katherine Zeta-Jones and hubby, Michael Douglas, were the perfect couple. This year Katherine made special note that she was simply a wife and stern supporter of husband, Michael, who was awarded the lifetime acheivement award; an award which his father, Kirk, was awarded a few years back. Pirates' Johnny Depp was ever-the-dapper-don in his brown tuxedo-suit, always sportin' a fine line crossed between urban chic and classic style. He was on-hand with beautiful wife, French actress Vanessa Paradis. And Best Actress winner, Charlize Theron, was hardly a monster in her Dior gown... which she sported alongside her beau, actor Stuart Townsend. Incidentally, Townsend, too, sported a Dior tux for the festivities.
It was a perfect night, with many of the winners being stellar choices. Everyone from Jessica Simpson and Nich Lachey to the ladies of Sex & the City were donned in their best... making it hard for Joan and Melissa Rivers to cause a ruckus on the red carpet. But that's a good thing. It means that Hollywood is, indeed, getting better with time. But only time will tell how long this lasts. Give or take some, we may have another Bjork or Lara Flynn Boyle on our hands come Oscars night. Stay tuned.
AWWWW, EVA! 21-Jan-2004
It was thought that Matt was in close relations with another woman, Ben Affleck's personal assistant Odessa Whitmire. But that relationship seems to be no more. Matt did, in fact, ring in 2004 with Mendes, along with high-profile couple, BenLo, in Las Vegas earlier this month.
As usual, Hollywood gems seem to be scopin' around for different flayvas. Mark Wahlberg left now-ex-fiance, Rhea Durham, for Honey herself - Jessica Alba. Well, anything to get La Alba away from dorky Michael Whetherly. Teehee. But Marky-Mark --- only 4 months after Rhea gave birth to your kid?! Now what's that all about?! My Hollywood brothas need to learn to keep their sticks and balls to themselves once in a while... And the sistas?! Ya'll know better. (LOL)
GRACE UNDER FIRE... 20-Jan-2004
The Baby Train seems to be one that Tinsel Town's finest want to hop aboard. Recently, it's been announced that Courtney Cox-Arquette, and hubby David, have just gotten pregnant. The world seems to know that they've been trying hard to get pregnant, and now she's well on her way. Now the world is still waiting for another of Cox-Arquette's Friends to hop on the Baby Train. Will diapers and bottles be in the future for The Pitts, as in Brad and Jennifer?! Hmmm... only time will tell... In the meantime, Hollywood's all about havin' them some BABIES! Awww...
MTV GETS ON THE BALL WITH NEW SHOW CONCEPTS. 15-Jan-2004
Frankie Muniz (Malcom in the Middle) is slated to be part of a show where he accompanies high school students as they "live out their fantasies." 7th Heaven star, and sister to Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson, is planning to be showcased in a show that follows her as she records her first album. And Orlando Jones, of the defunct Orlando Jones Show, will be sharing his voice as one of the characters in a new animated show, Chico & Guapo, which centers on two janitors of a NYC hip-hop recording studio who try to break into the biz with their rap act.
Others including Foxy Brown and Hilary Duff are also rumored to have shows on the network. And MTV is already puttin' the buzz on their halftime show for Super Bowl XXXVIII on CBS. This year, the show will feature acts by Janet Jackson, Kid Rock, Nelly, and P. Diddy Combs. Get ready to BLAZE...!
In a sense, the theme of the 2004 Golden Globes could've been easily dubbed "perfect couples..." This idea, ultimately, could be seen in more ways than one. For the most part, there were certainly a good number of hits rather than misses in the fashion circuit. This year's fashion blunders were very few, and surprisingly ---were commited by some of the industry's most "fashionable" icons.
Looks like Ben Affleck isn't the only Hollywood leading man who's gone ga-ga over a hot, Latina star. Best bud, and fellow actor, Matt Damon seems to have his eyes set on another up and coming star of the female persuasion... she's none other than Fast & the Furious chicka, Eva Mendes. Matt and Eva worked together on Stuck On You, which was released not too long ago. It seems that he's taken a liking to his silver screen co-star.
Debra Messing is getting closer and closer to having her new arrival! Yes, the co-star of NBC's Will & Grace is on her way to having a baby. As one of Hollywood's best dressed, she's sure to bring her new baby into this world in style.
MTV's got a new line-up of show ideas for the coming year that will showcase stars like Cameron Diaz, Orlando Jones, and even Hilary Duff. These shows will join a list of MTV homestays like The Real World, TRL, and Made. Topping the list is a show concept featuring Cameron Diaz. The show will follow Cameron on her many trips to places all around the world, highlighting her adventures and experiences along the way. Not sure if it's going to take a comedic slant to her travel adventures, but who knows?! If Selma Blair and Christina Applegate guest on her show, it may make for interesting television. LOL!
So the latest news about Paris is that she's found religion. RIIIIIIIGHT. Apparently, La Paris is taking on a new stance as she welcomes 2004. The media-hogged-out-paparazzi-leechin' socialite has reportedly signed up for teachings at the ever-so-trendy Kabbalah Center in Los Angeles. This is the same center where Madonna and Demi Moore are reported regulars. The Hilton heiress was issued a red bracelet which is supposed to "fall off" when negativity is purged from her system. She's been seen recently without the string bracelet, so what are we to think now? If we're to think that she's turned over a new leaf towards purity, then I laugh. I so terribly LAUGH. AHAHAHA.
