Back in the early nineties Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley were a hot item and ever so posh. Unfortunately the romantic bliss was destroyed when, in 1995, Hugh pulled over on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles to have a little bit of fun with prostitute, Divine Brown. Hugh was interrupted by police and his humiliation about being a love rat was beamed around the world.  The couple split soon after.

Gulf War veteran, James Hewitt, was dubbed the “Royal Love Rat” when told about his affair with the late Princess of Wales. Later his attempt to sell personal letters between himself and Princess Diana caused outrage.

Celebrity Chef, Gordon Ramsay cheated on his wife and caused quite a stir!

French actor Olivier Martinez was caught out cheating on Australia’s pop princess, Kylie Minogue.

US President John F Kennedy reportedly had a number of affairs and his most famous being with Marilyn Monroe.

And finally, X-Files star and reportedly acclaimed Sex Addict, David Duchovny had numerous affairs on his wife Tea Leoni. David checked himself in to a sex rehab clinic and it was rumoured that Tea’s sweet revenge was having an affair with Billy Bob Thorton.

Former lead singer of the Australian band,  Divinyls passed away today after a painful battle with cancer and multiple sclerosis.

On her Facebook page,  Amphlett  shared her battle with cancer and multiple sclerosis with this touching post:
‘Unfortunately the last 18 months have been a real challenge for me having breast cancer and MS and all the new places that will take you. You become sadly a patient in a world of waiting rooms, waiting sometimes hours for a result or an appointment and you spend a lot time in cold machines like MRI,CT machines, hospital beds, on your knees praying for miracles, operating rooms, tests after tests, l  at healthy people skip down the street like you once did and you took it all for granted and now wish you could do that.’

‘I have not stopped singing throughout all this in my dreams and to be once again performing and doing what I love to do… My illnesses have really exhausted this little body of mine that I have thrown from one end of a stage to another and performed thousands of shows… with that said I am getting stronger but there is still some fine tuning and work to be done on myself… I don’t reach out to people and talk about what I go through as we are all going through something and for someone who once was fancy free I have all of this in my life “So I Know”… I will sing again, I will perform again but this time “I know” I hope you understand what I mean and if you don’t you will one day and be grateful. Yes Lawrence What A Life and this is Life. We must never be afraid.’

Indeed a sad day for the Australian music world.

Rumors of an “open marriage” concerning Will Smith and his  wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith have been circulating for years.  Here is what Jada has to say about it in a recent statement.

“Do we believe loving someone means owning them? Do we believe that ownership is the reason someone should ‘behave’? Do we believe that all the expectations, conditions and underlying threats of ‘you better act right or else’ keep one honest and true?”

“Here is how I will change my statement… Will and I BOTH can do WHATEVER we want, because we TRUST each other to do so. This does NOT mean we have an open relationship… this means we have a GROWN one,” then signed off with a simple, “Siempre, J.”

Hmmm…fuel for more rumours if you ask me.

It seems no expense is spared for some celebrities who have tied the knot.  It also seems a lot of the money spent went down the drain as marriages crumbled.  Here are a few notable weddings and their associated costs.

Kate Middleton and Prince William — This one was a steal at just $34 million with $800,000 of that spent on flowers. Kate’s dress was estimated to cost around $400,000. A major cost to the British taxpayer was for the security involved with the wedding.

Liza Minelli and David Gest — Spent $4.2 million dollars for their special day and invited more than 1,000 guests to the event. One of the expenses was Liza’s $45,000 Bob Mackey gown. The couple split up just one year later!

Elton John and David Furnish — Spent $1.5 million on their 2005 wedding and invited 600 of their closest friends for the celebration which was held at their Windsor mansion.

David and Victoria Beckham — Posh spice spent $800,000 on their special day. Posh wore a Vera Wang silk gown with a 20-foot train estimated to have cost around $100,000. Only 250 were invited to the wedding which included a special performance by Elton John.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston – Spent around $1 million when they wed in July 2000 on the Malibu estate of TV producer Marcy Carsey.  Jen wore a Lawrence Steele floor-length white gown, accessorized by suede Manolo Blahnik sandals. Candles illuminated the reception tent and 50,000 flowers created a Zen garden. The night ended with a fireworks display and the marriage ended in 2005.

And the winner is…….

Chilliy Pasternak and Baby Hope Diamond — they’re dogs! They married in July 2012 and claim the Guinness Book Of World Records for most expensive dog wedding, which cost $158,187.  The “wedding” was a fundraiser for the Human Society of New York.

Tiger Woods was taught how to use visualization and his imagination by  his father, Earl, when he was a boy.  Today, Tiger visualizes exactly where he wants the golf ball to go. He sees it in his mind before he hits the ball.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, used visualization for athletic success and also credits it for his success as a movie star: “When I was very young I visualized myself being and having what it was I wanted. Mentally I never had any doubts about it. The mind is really so incredible. Before I won my first Mr. Universe title, I walked around the tournament like I owned it.”

Michael Jordan used visualization to become the greatest basketball player in history.

Oprah: Has always used visualization and has often talked about Vision Boards on her show.

Australian Volley Ball Olympian’s, Kerri Pottharst and Natalie Cooke were coached by Actor and Stuntman, Kurek Ashley for 18 months prior to them winning an Olympic Gold Medal.  Kurek would help the girls to visualize and act as if they already had won the medal.

Oprah Winfrey, the first African-American woman to become a billionaire, will share her words of wisdom  as the Commencement Speaker at Harvard. Rather than call it a “graduation,” Harvard prefer “commencement,” because the ceremony is the beginning of life beyond the university.

Sarah Jessica Parker who recently said as a result of spending so much time in high heels, she developed an extra bone in her foot……Yours truly can relate to that, I’ve got my foot bandaged up and hobbling around because of wearing high heels for three days in a row.

William Petersen, the star of the TV show… CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, had a near-death experience when he cut his finger in half and lost a lot of blood. He said he went into a long tunnel and heard a male voice saying, “It’s not your time” William said something in him changed, a sort of knowledge that somewhere on the other side, It’s good.

Tony Bennett nearly overdosed when the IRS proceeded to take his home.  At the time, his career was failing. He had no manager, a drug habit, failing marriage and mounting debts. Tony Said “A golden light enveloped me in a warm glow,” …”I had the sense that I was about to embark on a very compelling journey. But suddenly I was jolted back and  I knew I had to make major changes in my life.”

After a heart attack, Peter Sellers experienced a NDE “I looked around myself and I saw an incredibly beautiful bright loving white light above me. I wanted to go to that white light more than anything. I’ve never wanted anything more. I know there was love, real love, on the other side of the light which was attracting me so much. It was kind and loving and I remember thinking, that’s God.” …..After that Peter claims he would never fear death again.

Lou Gossett Jr. famous for his role in “An Officer and a Gentleman”, has had five near-death experiences. Lou’s most intriguing encounter occurred at the age of twelve. While playing baseball, he fell into a deep hole and experienced a brilliant tunnel of light. He also recalls a past incarnation as a pirate with a harem off the coast of Morocco. ….Hmmmm don’t know about that sounds more like a fantasy to me.
