This Thanksgiving marked the two-year anniversary of Jessica Simpson's split from Nick Lachey. She appeared determined not to spend it alone. Her new man seems to be Dallas Cowboys' quarterback and ladies' man Tony Romo.
According to US Weekly, the two spent the holiday together. Simpson showed up to watch him play in Texas on Thanksgiving day and was heard referring to the quarterback as "my man." Over that weekend the two were spotted again in Dallas having dinner. While Simpson and Romo have only been seeing each other about a week, a pal tells the magazine, "she's already saying they're dating."
In the world of celebrity do-gooders, there seems to be no one more dedicated or publicized than Brad Pitt. The actor unveiled his new project on the Today Show this past Monday: a residential vision for the Ninth Ward of New Orleans, which was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Pitt hopes to complete the project named "Make it Right" by summer's end. "I am hoping we can start here and expand all over New Orleans," he said.
Pink tents were scattered over the lot as "an art installation, a social statement" to show where the future homes would be built. Each residence costs $150,000 and will be built on stilts to alleviate fears of future flooding. If the price tag is a little too much for one donator, certain household items can be purchased as a "Christmas adoption."
On Nov. 9, Pitt pledged $5 million of his own money toward the project. He is asking that the public do whatever they can to "help families of New Orleans get back into their homes." At the Hot Pink Party on Monday to help launch the project, Pitt's girlfriend, Angelina Jolie, spoke to US Weekly and said that she will return to New Orleans for Christmastime with the whole family after finishing her work in The Changeling. In January, the international family bought a $3.5 million mansion in the French Quarter.
We are one step closer to the best day of my life: the arrival of Sex and the City: The Movie; filming finished Dec. 1 after beginning in mid-September. The cast and crew had a wrap party at the Royalton Hotel's Brasserie 44 in New York City that night, the New York Post reported.
Even though the movie isn't hitting theaters until May 30, and details are sealed under the penalty of death, The New York Times wrote a brief article discussing some plot pieces. If you haven't been following the filming process, then these may be spoilers. Carrie will be working on her third book, and pictures have showed her wearing an extravagant wedding dress, but no word on whether she ties the knot. Charlotte is continuing to nurture her family, and, in some photos, she has been sporting a rather large baby bump. Samantha has made the cross-country move to L.A., but Miranda is still living and loathing in Brooklyn.
