Cinematical's SmartGossip: We Need New Trainwrecks

I don't want to talk about Britney Spears this week. Personally, I've read more than enough news about her, and she barely qualifies as a film-related personality, anyway. I don't want to deal with Anna Nicole Smith either, at least until her daughter's paternity test comes back ... and even then, I'm on overload. And Rosie O'Donnell? I'm trying to ignore that whole thing with Donald Trump, which doesn't even make sense.

Unfortunately, it's a slow gossip week without the above-named celebrities. I realized at some point that if I am reporting items on Mary-Kate Olsen's boots and Charlton Heston's neighbors, it is definitely not a red-letter gossip week. I couldn't even find any George Clooney or Johnny Depp photo opportunities. However, at least I know I'll entertain the Jessica Alba fans with the last news item on the following list.

Cinematical's SmartGossip: The Circle of Life

Did the title manage to invoke an earworm from The Lion King in your head? Sorry about that. But it seems like this is a record week for celebrity milestone events: birth, death, birth and death at the same time, divorce, and even strange addictions. Here are some of the highlights from this week's film-related celebrity gossip. I made sure all the celebrities mentioned had something to do with film, and noted their big movie achievements when it seemed doubtful.

Birth: Britney Spears (Crossroads) had another baby, a boy with nearly the same birthday as his brother. In an unbelievably tragic event, Anna Nicole Smith (The Hudsucker Proxy) had a baby daughter and lost her son at nearly the same time.
Divorce: Whitney Houston (The Bodyguard) announced that she's filed for divorce from Bobby Brown (Ghostbusters II) after 14 years of marriage. I'm a little slow on the gossip uptake sometimes but even I knew that the couple had a somewhat turbulent relationship.
