Mary-Kate Olsen NOT Engaged

Once again, we can’t believe the tabloids. There have been stories reporting Mary-Kate Olsen is engaged and/or designing her pre-nup, which are inaccurate, Olsen’s rep told People. The 23 year old actress and designer has been dating Nate Lowman since being introduced by mutual friends in 2008. They were most recently seen together at Paris Fashion Week. Olsen’s next acting gig will be along Neil Patrick Harris and Vanessa Hudgens in Beastly.

Mark Wahlberg Expecting a Girl

It’s a girl! Mark Wahlberg confirmed to People at GQ’s The Gentleman’s Ball at New York’s Edison Ballroom on Wednesday the gender of his next child. The 38 year old actor and his wife, Rhea Durham, already have three children together: Ella Rae, 6, Michael, 3 ½, and Brendan Joseph, 13 months.

Miley’s 9 Year Old Sister a Dominatrix

Looks like Miley Cyrus’s younger sister is following in her footsteps. Noah Cyrus, who is nine years old, dressed as- well it looks to be a dominatrix at the 2009 Dream Halloween event in Los Angeles. I am not sure why a nine year thinks they need to dress this way, or why the parents would allow her to step foot out of the house looking like that. The internet is abuzz with backlash over this too mature costume, and I agree with every post. First we have to see sixteen year old Miley grind on a stripper pole at the Teen Choice Awards, now we get to deal with her younger siblings dressing way too sexy. All I wonder when I see this is why does Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus think this is okay? Are they that hungry to get their picture taken and make sure their family is in the news that they will subject their daughters to the media scrutiny that they had to have known was going to follow? What a shame.
