Tidbits From All Over Celebdom

Celebrity doesn't stop just because I did

For those of you who follow me on Twitter, you know that the Armstrong family has been on lockdown for oh, five days. Probable Norwalk virus, me almost being admitted to hospital due to Norwalk and pregnancy. You know, usual stuff (aka the worst). But, the show has gone on without me and so much has happened. I want to catch you up on a few things that you may have missed and one that you really shouldn't this week. Everything from the SAG Awards, to Chris Brown at it again. 

First, some gossip. Liberty Ross, the wife of Rupert Sanders officially filed for divorce last week. She's asking for joint custody, alimony and for him to pay her legal fees. That seems to be letting the dude off really easily, if you ask me. But she's probably a better person than I am. 

There are a bunch of photos of the lovely Hilary Duff going around that aren't too flattering, and they've started the "has she or hasn't she?" plastic surgery tongues a-wagging. Some of the photos just look awkward, but, maybe? If she has, I wonder if it's true that Hollywood has gotten so tough that a woman as young as Hil needs to get injections to get roles. This is a whole other can of worms I'll open on another day. 

Jeremy Renner has admitted to getting his now ex-girlfriend pregnant, and we know who she is! A 22-year-old Canadian model named Sonni Pacheo. I haven't heard of her either, but good for her, I guess? He's got her living with him in his LA home, so who knows how this will turn out (poorly, I'd imagine). 

Onto the SAG Awards. This awards show is the by-us-for-us awards where all the ACTRA and SAG members vote on fellow actors in film and television. I tend to find these awards to be more telling of quality than say, the Globes or Oscars because these are all based on the approval by peers. The big surprise of the night was Jennifer Lawrence winning for Silver Linings Playbook. She seemed just as surprised. Glad I'm finally getting the chance to check this one out this week. You can find a full list of the SAG Award winners (including Tina Fey AND Alec Baldwin for 30 Rock!) over at USA Today

Finally, in a why the hell is he still making music situation, Chris Brown attacked singer Frank Ocean in Hollywood the other night over something so trivial, you may not believe me when I tell you.

The two men fought over a parking spot. Of course, Brown denies starting the fight saying he was attacked first, but eyewitness accounts say otherwise. Ocean says he's hurt his hand quite badly and may not be able to give his full intended performance at the Grammy Awards in two weeks. 

WHY IS THIS MAN STILL AROUND? 

So, spill it! What are some of the big celebrity gossip news items you've seen this week?
