The couple married in a traditional Christian ceremony, and Humphries is reportedly hurt that the marriage didn't work out because divorce goes against his beliefs. "I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents," he told TMZ.com.While I'm not sure exactly what denomination Humphries belongs to, I do have a few questions about his marriage to Kim in … [Read more...]

Dolce & Gabbana Think Every Stylish Woman Should Carry a Rosary
October 31, 2011 by 1 Comment
Allure magazine recently asked Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana what ten items they think every woman should own. Some of the things were pretty obvious, like high heels, makeup, and the Mediterranean Diet. (I think that's a thing you "follow" and not a thing that you "have," but whatevs.) However, they did have one less expected item: a rosary. "It reminds us of our beloved Sicily, and of the roots and traditions that have become such an important part of our DNA. [A … [Read more...]

October 27, 2011 by Leave a Comment

(The kids call Kody "Dad" but still see their father and have his last name, which totally isn't awkward for them at all.) Solomon seems like a good name for the baby, since Robyn has been accused of dividing up the Brown … [Read more...]

Oprah Winfrey recently paid a visit to two Orthodox Jewish communities in Brooklyn. According to Chabad.org, the blog for the Lubavitch sect of Orthodox Jews, Oprah took part in a ritual meal (I'm going to guess a Shabbat dinner?), interviewed women from the community, and toured a mikveh (although she didn't actually get in one, which could be her own ish about not wanting to be naked or Lubavitch ish about not wanting a non-Jew getting in their ritual bath). The visits will be part of an … [Read more...]

According to the National Enquirer (roll your eyes all you want, but they were totally right about John Edwards), Paul McCartney has told friends that he is planning to convert to Judaism at the behest of his new bride, Nancy Shevell. Nancy is a New York socialite and the cousin of Barbara Walters, and unlike previous wife Heather Mills she has the approval of McCartney's children - daughter Stella designed Nancy's wedding dress.While I looooove the idea of having a Jewish Beatle, here are … [Read more...]
