Celebrities are perfect. They have no flaws. They are always at their best, even upon waking up.
Stupid as those statements may sound, they do come up in the minds of Jane and Joe Average, if only because of what is portrayed by the media. Now and then, we do come upon pieces showing just how human celebrities are. Humans like you and me.
This is not to downplay the health condition of any celebrity in this list. Neither is it to make fun of them, but if you feel a slight sense of schadenfreude, no one will make any judgements for sure. So here are some celebrities with health conditions, if it makes you feel any better that they are human after all.

The extremely talented British songstress is gearing up for her much anticipated performance at the 2012 Grammy awards. The anticipation is well deserved, this is going to be her first performance after undergoing vocal chord surgery. People are hoping that her voice will not be affected by the operation.

The New England Patriots suffered a disheartening loss against the New York Giants at last Sunday's Super Bowl. The match was closely fought until the very last part of the game, which makes it a more painful defeat for the Patriots. Tom Brady, the Patriots’ quarterback, was especially sad after the game. But trust his loving wife Gisele Bundchen to console his husband. Read the rest of this entry »

Everyone looks forward to the Super Bowl year in and year out, and while most people anticipate the game, you can't deny that the half time show plays a major role. And when it comes to the Super Bowl half time show, controversy is no stranger.
Remember Janet Jackson's breast-baring act? "Nipplegate", as it is sometimes called will be forever remembered by those who saw and heard about the "wardrobe malfunction". Never mind that more than half of the audience have seen more than a breast exposed on the wide screen. The American public still clamored against that act of "indecency".
This year, I am rather surprised that Madonna has not provided the controversy for the half time show. Tell me you aren't!
One of her fellow performers on stage did that instead. Rapper M.I.A. did not go all the way, but still stirred up conservatives by giving a camera her middle finger.
It's definitely not appropriate. M.I.A. should be fined or something, then let's forget about her. It's not like she gets lots of publicity these days anyway. Maybe she thought that making that gesture would get her more than five minutes in the limelight in 2012.
For good measure, here's the video of the half time show.

Demi Moore recently got in the news a few months after her much publicized separation from Ashton Kutcher. Moore was apparently so affected by all the negative things in her life that she was recently admitted to a rehab center due to exhaustion. This meant, of course, that she had to bow out of the project she’s supposed to participate in, the Linda Lovelace biopic Lovelace. Read the rest of this entry »

Tom Cruise may still be feeling the effects of his crazy phase but it’s good to see that he’s still unfazed by the effects of his image going south and just figuratively let his hair down and be a normal dude for once.
He definitely showed that side of him to the public when he went out with his adorable daughter Suri for a fun afternoon at Disneyland in California. Read the rest of this entry »

Queen of Burlesque Dita Von Teese delivered a sexy midnight burlesque striptease at the Hyde Bellagio in Las Vegas on Saturday night. At midnight she performed a version of her infamous champagne glass act.
Dita von Teese was joined on the red carpet by 2012 beauty pageant princesses and nightclub models but she was not daunted by the rival beauties.
“I’m a woman of experience, and not one of them has a waist as tiny or tight as mine in a cinch! “she said before the show. “I’ll pull out all the stops for a raucous, one-off, classic show undressing in a large champagne glass against the fountains of the Bellagio. How can any of them compete with that?”
She was right. They couldn’t and she was the star of the night.
When the clock struck midnight, Von Teese took the stage in an haute couture costume adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals. She then teased the cheering crowd as she danced around an enormous champagne glass peeling off layer after layer of clothing and untying the corset from her tiny laced up waist. The crowd went wild as Miss Dita Von Teese poured champagne down her body, finally immersing herself into the champagne glass, kicking and splashing champagne.
It was Dita Von Teese’s first burlesque performance in Las Vegas for over a year. But afterwards Von Teese said that she hoped to be back in Vegas soon.
“I’m hoping we’ll be able to bring some of the showgirl burlesque back to Vegas. I’m doing the real version, which is the same way it was done in the 1930s and ’40s; that’s what burlesque really was.”

What do you do when two old queens feud? Stand back and wait for the fireworks.
That’s what’s likely to happen as the rift between Madonna and Sir Elton John got reignited at the recently held Golden Globes Award. Both artists were nominated for Best Original Song.

Who’s a cat person? Not me, but I do appreciate how people fall in love with their feline companions. I find it amusing how even the coldest people suddenly melt when they are around their cat. And Hollywood guys – tough or not – are not exempt from the charms of these stately (and not quite domesticated) creatures!
Now who would have thought that Guns ‘n Roses frontman Axl Rose loves cats? Apparently, he introduced his cat to the world via his Twitter account, and he had only one word to say “Dijon”. Nice name for a cat, if I say so myself!

Frasier star Kelsey Grammer and his wife, Camille used a surrogate after her Irritable Bowel Syndrome prevented her from carrying to full term. And Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban also went down the surrogacy route with their biological baby born via a surrogate mother in Dec 2010.

A lot of slip-ups have happened in Twitter. The popular micro-blogging service encourages people to post tweets of what’s happening in their lives at the very moment they feel like it. The problem though is that there will be times when you wouldn’t be able to check your tweet for any mistakes until after you’ve posted it.
Take Annalynne McCord for example. Read the rest of this entry »
