Celebrity Friends & Family

Well, it looks like the long-running feud between Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie is over at last, or maybe that was just round one- we’ll see anyhoo.

Paris revealed, “I love Nicole, and I’m so glad we’re friends again.”

“I missed her. She’s like my sister — we’ve known each other 23 years. I’m glad we can put the feud behind us. I’m really happy she’s back in my life.”

Wow, brave words spoken by Paris.  Well, at least she was able to put a nicely structured sentence together, right?

Hilton & Richie fell out back in April 2005 and refused to speak with each other despite The Simple Life filming.

It looks like The Simple Life actually brought the two back together.  A source close to the new BFF stated, “Paris and Nicole were due to meet with E! to discuss concepts for the next season of The Simple Life, and they decided to meet first.”

I’m still thinking round two is coming.  What do you think?

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt are in India to shoot scenes for a new movie about slain journalist Daniel Pearl.  On a quick break, Angelina, Brad & their 5-year-old adopted son Maddox went on an autorickshaw ride Sunday. 

But the ride turned out to be more of a spectacle as photographers, cameramen & reporters ran around the trio asking questions & shooting pictures, such as this one.  Jolie & family were forced to turn their rickshaw around after just 20 minutes & head back to the hotel so they could hole up once again & escape the ever present media.

Poor, Mad.  He’s going to be such an odd bird after this kind of Hollywood raising.

Actress Kate Winslet has decided to give up her acting career for a year to be with her children.  Winslet recently came to this decision while working on the film Little Children, in which a mother is emotionally & physically disconnected from her child.

“It was very trying to play a mother who basically couldn’t feel close to or look after the needs of her child,” Winslet stated.

“It was disturbing to put myself into that woman’s head and it made me all the more aware of my own responsibilities as a mother.  It was such a cathartic experience to portray somebody who can’t cope with her life that it reminded me how much I need my own children.”

“That’s why I’ve decided to take a year off to be with the kids and watch them grow and just enjoy the feeling of being very motherly.”

“I’ve done enough good work in my career not to be worried or torn about not working.”

Kate, who has made three films in the past year alone, will be able to take it easy in the following months.  Maybe she’ll have the best birthday ever this year, the actress turns 31 Thursday.

Ummm, place this story under weird with the subheading weird, under the title weird.

According to David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife Pamela Bach, the former Baywatch star lied to the police when he called 911 to report that his young daughter Hayley had tried to commit suicide.  WTF?

David made a 911 call Sunday night stating that Hayley had “cut herself”.  Now her mother has revealed that the young Hasselhoff never tried to kill herself, it was just a spite call to the police by David to make Pamela look like a bad parent.  My god, have we not graduated from high school theatrics yet?
 
Bach stated that 14-year-old Hayley was scratched by the family feline Sunday evening at 6pm.  Hayley began to cry uncontrollably which prompted Bach to call David and suggest they take their daughter to see a psychologist on Monday.  At that point, David threatened to call the law on her.
 
“You’re going down,” he allegedly told Bach. “I’m calling the police.”

The cops & paramedics arrived on the scene and took Hayley to the hospital, where she was released almost immediately.

As of right now:  Hasselhoff denies telling a 911 operator there was a suicide attempt as well as ever talking with Bach on Sunday evening.  The Hoff, on his way to a film festival, left town without visiting his daughter.  What a great parent.
 
And what a waste of taxpayer monies.  Sheesh!
