It was just a short time ago David Cook was crowned “American Idol”, now everyone wants to be seen with him. David Cook did not appear to be the total package, his singing was just “okay”, overall appearance in Hollywood is worth millions which he’s lacking. Decisions are not made by marketing genius since the fan-base of the show is geared towards families across America. During most seasons we notice contestants get makeovers, he’s the one contestant that had the least amount of work. Ultimately its up to the contestant if they want to take tips from stylists or not. We’re guessing Mr Cook chose not to, which all worked out in the end since he’s the winner. David Cook has been seen enjoying the elite party scene in LA with Kimberly Caldwell (former Idol contestant) and most recently The Hill’s star Audrina Patridge. Supposedly he was with Kimberly according to several sources, but who knows we could have another “John Mayer type” on our hands. In the end the mysterious and eccentric musicians always become the chick magnets.

Madonna to Divorce Guy Richie
Published June 27, 2008 by CoutureCentralMadonna the original queen of pop and erotica is apparently in talks with the former divorce lawyer of Paul McCartney. Apparently Mr Richie has representation also, this story sounds totally legit. No one would ever imagine Madonna to be the type to live happily ever after with anyone. We’re all left wondering what led to the failure of this marriage. The couple is so private the details are scarce. We rarely see Madonna’s relationship in the public eye anymore. After the two wed 7 years ago people lost interest. This year was somewhat exciting for Madonna, she sparked a bit of controversy for adopting David from Malawi. Madonna was also snapped holding a transparent bag with a sex toy in it as she walked with Guy Richie. Indeed we would never expect a “normal marriage” from Madonna. Recently pictures have been surfacing of Carlos de Leon (the father of Lourdes) visiting with his 11 year old. We’re all wondering what role Carlos will play in this nasty divorce battle.

The Hogan Family Drama
Published June 18, 2008 by CoutureCentralWrestling legend Hulk Hogan has been in the news for several different reasons lately. His life has been crumbling before our eyes since the last season of Hogan Knows Best. On the show it was evident Hulk Hogan and long-time wife Linda were having problems. Last winter, Linda filed for divorce apparently Hulk Hogan found out from the paparazzi.
Last August their spawn Nick Hogan drove recklessly and landed his best friend John Graziano in a vegetative state for the rest of his life. Currently, Nick is serving time many of us think its not enough. Apparently during visits Nick has been plotting with his parents to escape. The “Hulkster” himself has been discussing a plan to get Nick his own “real-ality” show according to tapes released from jail. The Hogan family has exhibited nothing be selfish and indecent behavior by not making their child take responsibility for what he did. They have gone so low by blaming John Graziano for becoming a vegetable. On Larry King Live earlier this week, Hulk Hogan said he believed it was god’s will for John Graziano to end up this way, it would make him a better person. The insensitivity of the wrestling legend is unbelievable!
The latest controversy involves Hulk Hogan rubbing his daughter’s booty with sun tan lotion or sunblock, the photos taken are disturbing. Apparently, Hulk Hogan has a fetish for young blonds because everyone is calling his girlfriend a Brooke-look-a-like, maybe she’s just a big Brooke Hogan fan..HAHA. Perhaps Brooke has a few fans since she has a spin-off of Hogan knows best called “Brooke Knows Best”. Well if she knew best she would stop blabbing about family business on her myspace blog.
