Qwick Hitz - Seal's Klumless, Moore News on Demi

Looks as if Seal and Heidi Klum are the newest Hollywood couple to hit breakup boulevard. The couple confirmed the stunning news to People magazine. "While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate," the pair said in a statement. "We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. Heidi and Seal was a shocker, just like Russell/Katy, Arnold/Maria, and even Ashton and Demi. Okay maybe not Ashton and Demi. Klum, 38, and Seal, 48, began dating in 2003 and got engaged in December 2004. They married in Mexico in May 2005. The pair has three children together: Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2. Seal adopted Klum's 7-year-old daughter Leni from Klum's previous relationship to Flavio Briatore. We haven't heard much from Heidi, but Seal has been making the rounds. Over the past 24 hours, Seal began making the TV rounds to promote upcoming album, Soul 2, and to ease our fears about a nasty public split. “Just because you decide to separate, I don’t think you all of a sudden stop loving each other,” he said during the taping for an upcoming episode of The Tavis Smiley Show. He also appeared on the Ellen show, still wearing the ring. He also started rumours around the fact that maybe the marriage was salvageable, based on his song choice for the night. Check it out!

Wow, I'm sure we are going to hear a lot more about this one over the next little bit. You know we'll be keeping you updated!!!

Demi Moore is in hospital, reportedly seeking 'professional treatment.' "Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health," her rep said in a statement. "She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends." TMZ has said it's sources have said that Demi was rushed to the hospital due to some sort of substance abuse. According to reports, a 911 call came from Demi's home on Monday night. After paramedics arrived, they gave Demi a 30 min assessment and then transported her to hospital. Whatever the actual reason is, it's definitely hindering her work. Moore was recently cast to play Gloria Steinem in a movie "Lovelace," however Demi's rep confirmed that the actress has pulled out of the movie.

QWICK HITZ - The Biggest Loser's Loser?, No Paradis for Depp and Vanessa, Wahlberg's Woes

Surprised was an understatement on this week's episode of The Biggest Loser. One of the contestant's, Joe, decided to up and leave the popular weight loss reality show. Joe Messina, 38, joined the show along with his brother Mike. Mike was ousted last week after his team decided his condescending attitude to others became enough of a distraction to others. The irony was that Mike said his attitude was mostly because he was lonely on the show and had even started losing connection with his brother Joe. When Joe decided to leave the show, his trainer Bob called him to find out why. Joe said that he missed his 2 kids and wife, and it got to him to the point where he had to leave the show. Bob, along with others, were quite disappointed to see Joe leave as there were tons of other people who wanted to be a part of the show. Oh, let's not forget to mention that with Joe leaving he also left his team with one less point to work with. The sad part is that Mike had lost 23 lbs up to that point! Biggest Loser seems quite appropriate for several reasons in this case...

Are they or aren't they? That's the question when it comes to the relationship status between Hollywood uber-Star Johnny Depp and his girlfriend of 14 years, French actress Vanessa Paradis. The couple at one time lived the quiet life in the sleepy French hamlet of Plan-de-la-Tour. Since then it's become a lot more LA than France, and here is where the rumoured split started. Seems as if Vanessa stays at home with the kids (Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, 9), while Depp goes off and makes movies all around the world. The word is although the two are based out of LA, they actually live seperately. To add more speculation, Vanessa skipped out on a premiere event in Paris for Johnny's film The Rum Diary. Rumours are that she chose to go to a concert instead! She was also absent from the Cannes Film Festival in May where Depp was spotlighting his 4th installment of the Pirates franchise. And most recently more fuel was added to the fire when Depp arrived at the Golden Globes sans Vanessa. You can get more in-depth info in the most recent issue of People Magazine.

Some people are claiming that Contraband star Mark Wahlberg may have been out of line with some recent comments he made concerning 9/11. In a recent interview with Men's Journal, Mark made some statements about what he would do if he were on one of the planes that were hijacked. Mark was asked, for the February issue, of what he would do if he were scheduled on one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center. “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’” As you can imagine, there was a backlash against his statement from the public after the his comments made all of the celebrity websites and blogs. TMZ spoke with Deena Burnett-Bailey -- whose husband Thomas Burnett was on one of those flights. She chimed in saying "The plan for Flight 93 was foiled by heroes. For him to speculate that his presence on board could have stopped everything is silly and disrespectful.  Sounds like someone is grandstanding." No word from Wahlberg or his camp on this story...yet.

Golden Globes Rundown!!!

So the HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association) were back it with another installment of the Golden Globe Awards in California. We all probably caught a glimpse of it (I had to watch it through DVR to skip through those commercials). If you didn't know, the HFPA are made of international journalists who work out of Los Angeles, and vote for their favourites in all of the categories we've grown to know and love. 
The night started with Ricky Gervais as the host (for the third time). I truly believe he's resurrected the numbers we are seeing in terms of viewers with his quick wit and his take no prisoner attitude when it comes to his jokes. As you remember, we all thought we had seen the last of him after he hosted last year's show and went at several celebrities in a very hard way. Well the show asked him to return and he was not a let down at all. He took jabs at Johnny Depp, Colin Firth, and Jodie Foster amongst others...all in attendance so we could see their real time reactions. He even started by making jokes about the show itself. "For any of you who don't know, the Golden Globes are just like the Oscars, but without all that esteem. The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton. A bit louder, a bit trashier, a bit drunker, and more easily bought. Allegedly. Nothing's been proved."

QWICK HITZ - Patients and Patience, A Rose With a Thorn, Snoop Gets Scooped

It looks like nothing that the power couple of Jay and Bey can go unnoticed. More news has emerged from the couples use of Lennox Hill Hospital. Apparently some patients have claimed that their use of the hospital was imposed on by some of Beyonce and Jay-Z's security team. One new father said he was actually held back from seeing his newborn twins as security has sectioned off an entire wing. Rumours are running rampant that Jay and Bey paid a cool $1.3M to have an entire hospital wing closed down for them. The hospital apparently had covered cameras that were inside the facility, as well as have all staff working that day to hand in any cellphones they might have had them. This is probably why we haven't heard or seen anything from the hospital in regards to B's delivery. Now we do know the hospital has refuted that they accepted $1.3M for any setup in the hospital. The royal couple of Hip Hop and RnB have put out a statement saying "Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven. She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7lbs and it was the best experience of both of our lives. We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support." Not to be outdone, baby Blue Ivy was also part of a song that daddy Jay-Z put out via his website Life and Times titled "Glory." Talk about the being on a fast track to getting famous!

Meanwhile Jay's friend and colleague Kanye West has been making the news for entirely different reasons. Well if you can remember, Kanye had dated model/radio host Amber Rose a couple of years ago. Not much came out of the relationship in terms of news, and even when they broke up there was no reason given. Well Amber decided to speak up, and what we heard was quite the allegation. According to Amber, Kanye was cheating on her with none other than socialite Kim Kardashian. In an interview with Star magazine Amber said "She's a homewrecker!" And Amber even went into a few details. “She was sending pictures [to Kanye], and I was like, ‘Kim, just stop. Don’t be that person,’” she said of learning of Kanye’s infidelity. Rose said she wrote an email to Kardashian demanding an explanation but received nothing back in return. “I thought at least she’d be woman enough to respond to me,” she said. “She never responded.” Amber has softened her tone up a little since, stating that she regrets calling Kim a homewrecker. She's even thanked Kim in a weird way saying “I want to thank her,” she said. “Because if she was never a homewrecker, then I never would have met Wiz (Khalifa), and I wouldn't be as happy as I am now.” For the record, the Kardashian camp has refuted that anything intimate took place between Kim and Kanye. Why do I have a feeling this is not the last we are going to hear about this???

Go figure it was a dog that ultimate got Snoop in trouble! Seems our boy Snoop Dogg was travelling through Texas when law enforcement officers stopped his tour bus to do a routine check with drug sniffing dogs. Snoop's bus was boarded at a border patrol office as part of standard procedure when the dog sniffed marijuana from a waste basket in the bus. According to the agents, they found a prescription bottle in the back with several joints inside. Now Snoop wouldn't have this trouble in California where he's got prescriptions to use weed for medical purposes, however that statute does not extend to Texas. Ultimately Snoop was issued a citation and released. He will also have to pay a fine of approximately $500. This town of Sierra Blanca must be very serious about these violations, it's the same place that Willie Nelson got caught last year!
