Lauren Conrad’s bestselling book “L.A. Candy” will be made into a movie. Temple Hill Entertainment who is also responsible for the “Twilight” movies has recently bought the screen rights. Lauren will executive produce for the movie. The movie should be a real hit considering that the book has been on the New York Time’s Best Seller list for 14 weeks. The book is similar to Conrad’s life in that it finds a 19 year old girl who becomes famous very fast after being cast for a reality show in Hollywood. Marty Bowen at Temple Hill said “Her book is an honest portrayal of what it must be like to set out to be normal, then sign on to become famous and eventually realize, wow, this isn’t at all what I’d planned for myself.”

TLC announced Tuesday morning that Jon will be dropped from the show Jon & Kate Plus 8. Starting on November 2 we will no longer be seeing Jon on the series. The show will now also be renamed to Kate Plus 8. The reason they gave for dropping Jon was this

“Given Jon’s recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting Dad, not while all this other crap was going on,” a source close to Jon Gosselin tells PEOPLE.

Recenlty Jon has been linked to a number of girls and isnt’ exactly coming off as the greatest guy considering he isn’t even officially divorced yet. I think the show should have ended after the announcement of the divorce. I believe the show will continue to lose vieweres even with this annnouncement.

Reality t.v. star Kim Kardashian and NFL New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush are reportedly back together. The two spit up back in late July after two years together, and there have also been reports of infidelities on both sides. After younger sister Khloe’s wedding on Sunday Kim flew out to see Reggie telling a source that “she missed him”. I am thinking we will get to see this on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”. A source close to the couple says “They’re totally back together for real. Kim and Reggie spent a few months apart getting their priorities together and figuring out who they were as individuals so they can make it work together.”
Hope it will work out for them this time and maybe we will have another Kardashian wedding soon to follow.

Posted in Reality Stars on September 25th, 2009 by Almostfamous – Be the first to comment

Following the scuffle that took place between 2008 Playmate Of The Year Jayde Nicole and “Girls Gone Wild” founder  Joe Francis, Jayde has now filed a 1 million dollar lawsuit against him. In her suit it says

“In an intoxicated and uncontrollable rage, defendant Francis, who weighs over 200 lbs, physically attacked plaintiff Nicole, approximately 115 lbs, by pulling on her hair from behind to gain maximum control over her person and then violently shoving and/or throwing her to the ground of the nightclub like a rag-doll.”
Joe Francis had this to say when learning of the lawsuit

“Jayde Nicole is an absolute and total liar. Her prior statements about the incident are not only slanderous and defamatory, but actionable.

It is so interesting that Jayde Nicole would hire the same attorney (Ron Richards) who represented the double murderer who kidnapped me from my Bel Air mansion at gunpoint in 2004, for which he is now serving 11 years.

The only thing that Jayde Nicole is famous for is having a tattoo of the word “respect” above her vagina … for which we all know she has none of.”

Actress Ellen Pompeo 39, and music producer Chris Ivery 41 have just welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Stella Luna Pompeo Ivery. Baby Stella was born September 15, 2009. They were somehow able to keep the birth out of the media for a full week before confirming. Ellen Pompeo whom is Meredith Gray on “Gray’s Anatomy” returns to the new season on September 24. Throughout the pregnancy Ellen had to deal with some rumors of an affair. Husband Chris Ivery was accused of having a sexual relationship with Rachel Artz. They supposedly went on romantic trips together while Ellen was home in L.A. A source on the inside said “‘Chris often took calls from Ellen in front of Rachel and talked about their baby-to-be.’ Otherwise, the insider adds, ‘He didn’t seem to like Ellen much when he talked about her. He made her seem like a diva.’” These rumors must have been so hard for her to deal with during her pregnancy, how sad hope they are not true. Congrats to couple on the addition to their family

Khloe Kardashian from “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” and “Khloe And Kourtney Take Miami” hasn’t been dating boyfriend L.A. Lakers player Lamar Odom for very long. It has actually only been about a month and the two are reportedly already talking rings and marriage. Kim told PEOPLE
“They’re very, very happy. They’ve been together a few weeks, and are literally inseparable. Khloe thinks he’s amazing and makes her laugh and smile constantly.”
I don’t see any reason why these two need to rush to the altar, especially as a hollywood couple.

Jessica Simpson took to her twitter account to announce that her dog Daisy had been snatched up by a coyote right in front of her. She also wrote that the are still searching for Daisy and asked for help. I can’t imagine how awful this must have been for Jessica. One of her neighbors said that she heard screaming from Jessica’s house around 9 p.m. on Saturday. Jessica got Daisy from husband at the time Nick Lachey and is often seen carrying Daisy around through airports, basically taking Daisy everywhere she goes. So sad for Jess :(
