Anja and the stars

That was quick! Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong have already split again.  Apparently, they decided to go their separate ways - after only a three months.

I bet I could get such a fit body as well - if I had the same money.
Britney Spears spends almost $23,000 every month to stay trim and slim. She has to pay $4000 a month for a private dancer and $ 8000 to worl with the Pussycat Dolls’ personal trainer. But the highest sum ($ 10000) goes to a nutritionist and dietary supplements.

Actor Kyle McLachlan and his wife Desiree Gruber have welcomed their first child on Friday. The little boys name is Callum Lyon McLachlan.
The happy coupled have been married for six years and are said to be absolutely excited about being parents.

Congrats!

Last Monday Amy Winehouse was rushed to the emergency room of a London hospital. Her rep said that she was suffering from a reaction to medication and thus needed treatment. No other details were provided.
Since then Amy was released again and hopefully, her doctors changed her dosage of her medication so that we don’t see Amy in hospital again next week.

Last week Randy Pausch has passed away.

Pausch was an American professor of computer science, human-computer interaction and design at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and a best-selling author who achieved worldwide fame for his “The Last Lecture” speech on September 18, 2007 at Carnegie Mellon. He delivered his “Last Lecture,” titled “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” This talk was modeled after an ongoing series of lectures where top academics are asked to think deeply about what matters to them, and then give a hypothetical “final talk,” i.e., “what wisdom would you try to impart to the world if you knew it was your last chance?” Before speaking, Pausch received a long standing ovation from a large crowd of over 400 colleagues and students. When he motioned them to sit down, saying, “Make me earn it,” some in the audience shouted back, “You did!” During the lecture, Pausch was upbeat and humorous, alternating between wisecracks, insights on computer science and engineering education, advice on building multi-disciplinary collaborations, working in groups and interacting with other people, offering inspirational life lessons, and performing push-ups on stage.
In August 2006, Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He pursued a very aggressive cancer treatment that included Whipple procedure surgery and experimental chemotherapy; however, in August 2007 he was told the cancer had metastasized to his liver and spleen, which meant it was terminal. On July 24, on behalf of Pausch, a friend anonymously posted a message on Pausch’s webpage stating that a biopsy had indicated that the cancer had progressed further than what was expected from recent PET scans and that Pausch had “taken a step down” and was “much sicker than he had been.” The friend also stated that Pausch was “now enrolled” in a hospice program designed to provide palliative care to those at the end of life. On July 25, Diane Sawyer announced on “Good Morning America” that Pausch had died earlier that morning. Pausch died at his home in Chesapeake, Virginia surrounded by his wife Jai and their three children: Dylan, 6, Logan, 4, and Chloe, 2.

Here you can watch Pausch’s “last lecture” again.

Hooray! Russell Brand got offered a new job. He’s been asked to host this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, airing from Los Angeles in September.
Brand’s breakthrough role was in the 2008 film “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” in which he played Aldous Snow, the boyfriend of the title character. He received rave reviews for his performance as Snow. Brand will again play the character of Aldous Snow for a buddy comedy entitled “Get Him to the Greek” co-starring Jonah Hill. He is reuniting with “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”-director Nicholas Stoller and producer Judd Apatow for the film. It is described as a very dirty take on “Almost Famous”.

Never mind whether you do or don’t like Katie Price you have to admit that she is brutally honest which is kind of refreshing in this world of showbiz. Only last week she ingenuously admitted to have never written one single word for onw of her books. Instead, she sits down with her ghostwriters and tells them how she wants the storyline to be. In the end she rereads it and changes parts she doesn’t like and that’s it.
It’s pretty impressive to have sold thousands of copies of a book without actually writing it, isn’t it?

Congratulations to actor Ethan Hawke and his wife Ryan Shawhughes who welcomed their first child a week ago. Clementine Jane Hawke was born in New York City on Friday before last.
The happy couple only got married in late June this year and are said to be over the moon.
