Jewish extremists are urging supermodel Bar Refaeli not to marry her Leonardo DiCaprio because it would dilute the Jewish race, according to media reports.

Granted, Bar Refaeli marrying anyone will dilute DNA in some capacity. But come on … it’s Leonardo DiCaprio. So he’s not Jewish … nobody’s perfect, right?

Far-rightist Baruch Marzel wrote a letter to the Sports Illustrated model on behalf of nationalist group Lehava, which aims to fight assimilation among Jews.

“It is not by chance that you were born Jewish. Your grandmother and her grandmother did not dream that one of their descendants would one day remove the family’s future generations from the Jewish people,” the letter states.

“Assimilation has forever been one of the enemies of the Jewish people.”

Is Leonardo DiCaprio out to assimilate the Jewish faith?

Lehava in Hebrew means “flame” but it is also an acronym for “Preventing Assimilation in the Holy Land.” According to the group’s Facebook page, it aims to provde assistance to Jewish girls in relationships with non-Jews, and especially Arabs.

Marzel says he “has nothing against Mr. DiCaprio, who I have no doubt is a talented actor.” Still, he urges: “Come to your senses, look forward and back … not only the present. Don’t marry Leonardo DiCaprio, don’t harm the future generations.”

Okay, look. Can’t we just agree on two things?

The Departed was awesome.
The man who sees Bar Refaeli nude for life will be chosen by Bar alone, and with all due respect to extremist Jews, we are all members of one human family.

Demi Lovato Confirms: I’m Dating Joe Jonas

Mar 13, 2010 Author: | Filed under: celebrity news & gossip

It’s official and it’s adorable: Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas are an item.

In November, Demi insisted she and the cute singer were just friends. But she spoke with Billy Bush on Access Hollywood this week and had the following conversation:

Bush: Are you dating a Jonas Brother?
Demi: Ummm, maybe.
Bush: Which one? Joe?
Demi: Yeah. He’s my best friend.
Bush: So you guys went from boyfriend-girlfriend to best friends?
Demi: No, kind of the opposite.
Bush: So you’re dating him now?
Demi: Yeah, he is my best friend and he is incredible.

That says it all, doesn’t it? Jonas has been linked with Taylor Swift and Camilla Belle in the past. But we have a feeling this relationship will truly last.

Say hello to Jemi!

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy: It’s Over!

Mar 13, 2010 Author: | Filed under: celebrity news & gossip

They made us nauseous, but they also made us laugh.

Now, they’ve made us realize that even the most annoying of staged photo opportunities and public gushing isn’t enough to maintain a relationship: Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy have broken up.

No other details are available at this time.

The couple started dating in March 2009. Around that time, Kennedy told Ryan Seacrest he had found the perfect woman, saying:

“I’m in love! It’s like, ‘Wow, you are hot. You can sing, you can dance, you’re like, so smart and, wow, you can cook pasta fagioli, too.’”

Alas, those qualities will now be someone else’s to enjoy. Hewitt and Kennedy will still have to work together on the set of Ghost Whisperer.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy: Splitsville!

Mar 13, 2010 Author: | Filed under: celebrity rumors

Aw, and they were such a cute couple too! Jennifer Love Hewitt got together with her Ghost Whisperer costar, Jamie Kennedy, shortly after her split from Ross McCall at the end of 2008. The entire year that Jennifer and Jamie were together, the rumor mill was always coming up with new stories about how the couple had split. But this time, it’s true and it’s been confirmed by Jennifer’s reps. From People,

“After a year-long romance, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy have broken up, a rep has confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE.

No further details were available.

Though some in the blogosphere called them an unlikely couple, Kennedy and Hewitt regularly gushed over each other.

When Kennedy first confirmed the romance in March 2009, he told Ryan Seacrest during a radio interview, “I’m in love!” Describing his costar on Ghost Whisperer, Kennedy said: “It’s like, ‘Wow, you are hot. You can sing, you can dance, you’re like, so smart and, wow, you can cook pasta fagioli, too.’ ”

Hewitt called her beau “hilarious,” but praised him as more than just a funnyman. “There are people in your life who are just supportive and who just look at you and they see who you are,” Hewitt told Ellen DeGeneres last year. “And [Jamie] really saw who I was as a person more than anybody had ever done in my whole life. I think that’s for me when I sort of went, ‘Oh, wow.’ “

Hm, the last I saw, Jennifer Love and Jamie were both still big stars in their hit show. This could make for some awkward moments on the set! When these two first got together, I really thought that it was a rebound thing. But they seemed to really be into each other and even love each other. I also thought that Jennifer had dated down, so who knows? Maybe next time around she’ll find someone just as hot as she is.

Updates on Corey Haim’s Death

Mar 13, 2010 Author: | Filed under: celebrity rumors

Of course we all know by now that Corey Haim died on Wednesday this week and I have to say, this is one Hollywood death that I’m not all that upset about. I mean, it’s Corey Haim, and being riddled with drug problems for what seemed like his whole entire life, I’m surprised that he made it to the age of 38. Corey’s death was first linked to prescription drugs, and while that’s still very much the case, it may be even far worse than that. Add to that the fact that his family seems to want to make money off of his fame, even after his death, and the whole thing becomes even more dramatic than even Corey’s life was.

I’ll start with his family because that’s what I’m most confused about. They have taken to Corey’s website to ask fans to help pay for the cost of transporting Corey’s body back to Canada, where he’s originally from, so that he can be buried there. Apparently, the cost of transport and the actual funeral are expenses that Corey’s family just can’t pay. So, they’re asking strangers. Now, I realize that funerals are expensive and I can’t even imagine how much it must cost to transport a body. But still, there’s something about this that just seems wrong to me. How much money did Corey Haim make in his lifetime? A lot I’m betting. Even though he did enjoy the height of his career 30-some years ago, he still had the show The Two Coreys (which for some reason, people seem to have liked.) And if he didn’t have any money left to leave to his family, that’s not really my fault and I don’t understand why myself, or people like me, are being asked to foot the bill. Maybe his family really just does need money to bury him but, it seems like a cash grab to me. If Corey Haim spent all of his money on prescription drugs, that’s not my problem and I’m not willing to pay for that drug addiction now that he’s gone. And that brings us to his drug addiction…

Of course, the world knows that Haim suffered from drug addiction most of his life. And it has been said that he died from a prescription drug overdose. But now it seems, he may have actually been part of a drug ring in L.A. and authorities are now looking into it. From Radar Online,

“An illegal prescription drug ring has been linked to the death of actor Corey Haim and is now under investigation by California State Attorney General Jerry Brown.

RadarOnline.com was first to report that Haim’s death was likely from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. Now Brown has put out a press release linking Haim’s death to an “illegal and massive prescription-drug ring.”

An unauthorized prescription under Haim’s name was found during an ongoing investigation of fake prescription-drug pads from a vendor in San Diego, according to the press release.

The drug ring uses stolen identities from doctors to obtain prescription drugs pads, which the state says are then sold on the street. So far the investigation has uncovered approximately 5,000 fake prescriptions for Southern California.

Haim had a prescription drug addiction problem for years. And although some reports have said he was clean at the time of his death people close to him say he was not.

“Corey Haim’s death is yet another tragedy linked to the growing problem of prescription-drug abuse,” Attorney General Brown said. “This problem is increasingly linked to criminal organizations, like the illegal and massive prescription-drug ring under investigation. It’s a serious public health problem.”

I don’t disagree that it’s a big problem. Over the past year, we’ve seen far too many celebrities fall prey to prescription drugs. Michael Jackson, Brittany Murphy, and now, Corey Haim. And please let me be clear. I do think it’s sad when anyone’s life ends before they’ve even had the chance to turn 40. I just resent being asked to pay for that death, or the repercussions of it. If you’re interested in donating though, you can do so on Corey Haim’s website here.
