Chris Hansen Caught Cheating on His Wife?

The tables have been turned on Chris Hansen, the host of NBC's To Catch a Predator, who has reportedly been caught cheating on his wife.

Hansen, 52, a father of two who lives with his wife Mary in Connecticut, has been carrying on a four-month affair with Kristyn Caddell, a news anchor at NBC affiliate WPTV in West Palm Beach, Fla., the National Enquirer reports.

A source confirms to PEOPLE: "Chris Hansen and Kristyn and have been hooking up for months."

Caddell, 30, was an intern at the station before later becoming a reporter. Her bio on the WPTV website says she started at the station six years ago, left for other TV jobs in California, Texas and Tennessee, before returning to West Palm Beach.

Hansen has worked for various NBC News shows, including Dateline NBC and the hidden-camera sting-operation show To Catch a Predator, since 1993. He has won seven Emmy awards. [source]

David Duchovny and Tea Leoni Split Up Again.

Another Hollywood marriage is going down the pipes.

A rep confirms David Duchovny, 50, and Tea Leoni, 45, have separated. No party has filed for divorce yet.

The two briefly separated in 2008 when Leoni discovered the Californication star had been cheating. He soon entered rehab for sex addiction, and they reconciled. The actors, both New York natives, have two kids, a 12-year-old daughter Madelaine and 9-year-old son Kyd.

Trouble for Pam Anderson. Her ex, Laurence Hallier, who runs a company that built the Panorama Towers in Las Vegas, is suing the ex- Baywatch star for $22.5 million. He claims she signed a deal to promote its sale by making personal appearances, but she didn’t. The sum represents losses from the unsold units. Anderson already sued Hallier for $1 million, claiming he never gave her the apartment he promised.

Et tu?

How’s this for irony? Newsman Chris Hanson, who catches possible pedophiles in the act on Dateline’s To Catch a Predator, has been caught himself. By the National Enquirer.

The married NBC anchor and father of two, 51, was secretly filmed on a date with 30-year-old Palm Beach TV reporter Kristyn Caddell. The couple have allegedly been meeting up in South Florida over the last few months. Snap!

Divorce court

Mel Gibson is free to play the field, almost.

His lawyer, Laura Wasser (who was retained by Maria Shriver), said he and ex Robyn Moore have resolved all their issues to end their 28-year marriage. They have seven children.

Human error

BET president Stephen Hill has apologized to Chris Brown after the singer’s ex, Rihanna, was given the Viewers’ Choice award by mistake at the BET Awards. The video of the flub has gone viral.

Pity the poor presenter, Tiffany Green, who was just a fan chosen for the honor. She read from the iPad-like tablet that the winner was Brown. The teleprompter, however, displayed Rihanna’s name, and the audience began to boo. Her collaborator, Drake, then came on stage to accept the award on her behalf (she was absent). But Brown was the actual winner. Oops.

Second strike

Tracy Morgan should just think about only talking when Tina Fey writes his material. Mere weeks after laying on apologies for a homophobic rant, Morgan went off about the mentally challenged, The New York Times reports.

“Don’t ever mess with women who have retarded kids,’’ the comedian said Saturday night at a gig in NYC. As the audience groaned, he continued, “They’re strong like chimps.’’

Mother, mother

Tia Mowry is a new mom. The Game star, 32, and husband Cory Hardrict welcomed a son on Tuesday in Los Angeles. The actress’ experience with mommyhood will be televised when she and her twin/ Sister Sister costar Tamera Mowry return to the airwaves on Tia & Tamera, premiering this summer on the Style Network.

kim kardashian wedding

This week Kim Kardashian and her sister Kourtney were spotted out and about in New York checking out wedding dresses for Kim’s big day. They visited many shops and had lunch with designer Vera Wang. Could she be designing Kim’s dress, that is only speculation right now. Rumor has it  Kim wants 2  dresses designed by Wang that compliment her lavish 20.5 carat engagement ring.

A Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries wedding date has not been announced as of yet. Rumors have said that the big day will take place this summer, most likely August  in Los Angeles. The couple appears to be preparing for the wedding and have already made a gift registry at Gearys in Beverly Hills. The wedding is sure to be a top notch affair with a wedding planner to the stars at the helm.

There has been lots of talk about the wedding being televised either as part of one of the current Kardashian television shows, or even as it’s own spin off. Camera crews did follow Kim Kardashian on her recent wedding dress shopping trip including her lunch with Vera Wang. I am sure we will see all of the wedding events unfold on television making us feel like we are there [source]

Handbag Styles on the Fashion Trend

The style of a designer handbag is one of the main reasons why this particular fashion accessory is fun to shop for. There are so many different styles of handbags to choose from that is why it's so hard to choose just one handbag. Every outfit calls for different styles of handbag so this gives women more reasons to buy a minimum of three handbag styles to match whatever their outfit is. To help you out which types of handbag to buy, this article covers the Top 3 Handbag Styles that never come out on the latest fashion trend.

1. Tote Handbag

Tote Handbags are very popular because they are casual yet very practical to use. These bags usually fall in the middle of the body, around the elbow. They are usually big that's why they provide a lot of space for women's essential things that are too large for a purse. They usually only have one or two compartments and are available with a number of images on them or a simple solid color.


2. Clutch Handbag

A clutch is a handbag which does not have handles and is meant to be carried in the hand. That said they are usually quite small and only provide enough space for the personal small belongings of women such as make up, cosmetic products and other girly things. These bags can be casual or dressy and are often worn to an evening gathering and other formal occasions because they are so small and convenient to carry.


3. Satchel Handbag

A handbag that has one, sometimes two, large straps that goes over one shoulder and across the body. This type of handbag is best appropriate in most women who are working in an office. They have to use this handbag because they need to carry their important files whenever they have a meeting or if they need to bring their paper works in their home. It is also often used by most students to help them carry their books and other school stuffs. Using satchel does not only help women to hold their bulky files and things in a more convenient way but also enhance their fashion outlook.

Prince Harry to be best man at royal wedding

Prince William has asked his brother Prince Harry to be his best man when he marries Kate Middleton on April 29, and she has asked her sister Philippa to be maid of honour, the palace said Monday.

St James’s Palace also revealed the four bridesmaids and two page boys who will accompany the bride down the aisle at Westminster Abbey, in the biggest royal wedding since William’s late mother Diana married Prince Charles in 1981.

They include the young niece of one of Diana’s bridesmaids, as well as the granddaughter of Prince Charles’ second wife, Camilla.

“Prince William has asked his brother, Prince Harry, to be his best man,” said a statement from St. James’s Palace, adding: “Miss Catherine Middleton has asked her sister, Miss Philippa Middleton, to be her maid of honour.”

William, 28, has been close to his brother Harry, 26, since their mother died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 and it was widely predicted that he would pick him to be his ‘supporter’, as the best man is known in royal weddings.

Harry had expressed his delight at news of his brother’s engagement in November, saying: “It means I get a sister, which I have always wanted.”

The younger prince, who was once well known for his love of partying but has settled down in recent years as he concentrates on a military career, is now responsible for planning William’s stag night.

William is also following in the footsteps of his father, who chose younger brother Prince Andrew to be his supporter when he married Diana at St Paul’s Cathedral 30 years ago.

Kate’s choice is also no surprise, as the 29-year-old is close to her younger sister. They also have a brother, James.

Philippa, 27, known as Pippa, is a regular on the London social circuit and also works in the family mail-order business Party Pieces.

The palace also revealed Monday the names of the young members of the family or close friends who traditionally accompany the bride down the aisle.

Louise Windsor, the seven-year-old daughter of Prince Charles’ brother Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and his wife Sophie, is the lead bridesmaid.

Another is Margarita Armstrong-Jones, the eight-year-old daughter of Viscount Linley and the granddaughter of the queen’s late sister, Princess Margaret. Margarita’s aunt, Sarah, was one of Diana’s bridesmaids.

Eliza Lopes is the three-year-old granddaughter of Prince Charles’ second wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Grace van Cutsem, three, is William’s goddaughter and the daughter of a good friend of the prince.

The page boys are Tom Pettifer, the eight-year-old son of William’s ex-nanny Tiggy Pettifer and his godson, and Billy Lowther-Pinkerton, the ten-year-old son of Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, private secretary to William and Harry.

All the bridesmaids and page boys will be dressed to match the bride, but just as the palace has given nothing away about the dress Kate will be wearing on the big day, it refused to say anything about the children’s outfits.

William and Kate met in 2001 at St Andrews University in Scotland where they were both studying art history, and after years of speculation, they finally announced their engagement in November last year. [source]

Antequera Golf Hotel

Friendly, competent reception staff. Large,clean well appointed room overlooking terrace with swimming pool.(Spa & indoor pool available, but not tried - seemed popular, though). Buffet style restaurant may not be everyone's idea of 4 * hotel, but we found the food, both breakfast and dinner to be good quality with plenty of choice of Spanish, european and English dishes. Staff were friendly and courteous but were obviously under pressure at peak times - lack of planning by Management, for these periods perhaps? Location was a 10 - 15 mins walk to town centre, 25 mins uphill to old town.[source]

Bloc, Birmingham - Hotels Review

Some might argue that Birmingham's new capsule hotel doesn't really offer penthouse luxury, but few could quibble with its rock-bottom prices

 Exterior and lobby of Bloc, Birmingham

The Bloc Hotel Birmingham is located in Birmingham, United Kingdom

• 200 meters from St. Paul's Church
• 1.2 kilometers from Birmingham
• 12 kilometers from Birmingham Intl. Airport (BHX)
• 1.2 kilometers from Birmingham New Street Station
• 300 meters from Red Palace
• 400 meters from Birmingham Telecom Tower (Post Office Tower)
• 600 meters from Museum of the Jewellery Quarter
• 600 meters from St Chad's Cathedral

Penthouse proposition, pavement price, says the press blurb for the 73-room Bloc hotel. The concept is based on Japanese capsule hotels, but the construction technique, by a company called Boxbuild, is unusual. Boxbuild manufactured the rooms off-site then stacked them in situ so the hotel exterior could be wrapped round them.

Fundamental to the idea is eliminating unnecessary space (so that rooms can be more densely packed into the site). Research showing that hotel guests rarely unpack an overnight bag (that puts me in a minority, then) has resulted in "space hungry" wardrobes being replaced by something called an "integrated bag storage area".

Bloc hotel claims to have arrived at "the perfect combination of luxury and price", which includes use of "significant" sound insulation, luxurious cotton sheets, Italian ambient lighting and aircon set at an environment-sensitive 18-20C and 40% humidity.

The taxi driver at Birmingham New Street station isn't exactly sure where the hotel is – so we go for a spin round an unexpectedly lovely Georgian square, St Paul's, with a handsome church in the middle, until we spot a grey, modern cube. Bloc it says, in tall (small) letters.

This is the kind of urban location I love – the developers are moving in but a tattily beautiful Victorian and Georgian legacy remains. Hello, the builders are still here, polishing the floor. Lobby seating is so low it cannot be negotiated with decency in a dress, and surely someone has forgotten to put legs on the coffee tables? A Nespresso machine, MTV on a large screen and Hannah, the cheery receptionist at a white desk, complete the look.
bloc bedroom

I take myself and a cup of tea (there are also cold drinks and snacks from vending machines) up to the second floor. A bed, the exact width of the room (or maybe the room is the exact width of the bed) has been slotted between a padded wall and a large sealed window. The shower room is a cubicle behind smoked glass with a monsoon showerhead set into the ceiling, plus a loo and tiny basin. It's so neat I try the basin immediately. A little shower water splashes on to the loo roll but miraculously not on to the shelf with my toiletries. Bathroom lighting may be Italian but it's rubbish for doing make-up.

My bag stows beneath the bed. The wardrobe substitute is three shallow pegs on the wall but not a single hanger. I've got a black-tie do to go to tonight – what am I supposed to do with my frock?

Laptop, camera and my rapidly cooling cup of tea fit on the (single) bedside table (seating is a padded cube). There are plenty of sockets, free Wi-Fi (good show) and a blackout rollerblind at the window.

This is what I call a sensory-deprivation hotel. No fresh air, no art or colourful textiles, no armchair and just enough space (it would be snug with two people).

The bed is surprisingly comfy, I'm pleased to report, though I wouldn't describe the sheet as luxurious. Morning tea necessitates a trip to the lobby, and breakfast a long wait (nothing opens till 10am). The point is, you won't come here to luxuriate; you'll come because it is cheap – and who can argue with clean comfort in a big city for as little as 30 quid?

Bloc hotel pretty much does what it says it will but the real bonus is the staff – Hannah and her friendly, efficient Brummie colleagues. They know the area, they give Bloc a sense of place and they inject some much-needed character. [source]

St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, King's Cross, London

From the Hogwartsian Booking Office restaurant to the beautiful cantilevered staircase and soaring gothic windows, England's finest railway hotel is on the right track

St Pancras Renaissance Hotel 

Euston Road, King's Cross,

London

NW1 2AR

020-7841 3540 

stpancrasrenaissance.co.uk 

From £300 room-only

The tinkle of distant dropped cutlery echoes around an expanse of brick and glass. We are eating in the Booking Office. Yes – the old booking hall of St Pancras station, now reconfigured as hotel restaurant and cocktail bar.

More than £150m has been spent reinventing the ticket office as bar, forecourt as lofty reception (currently filled with clouds of cherry blossom) and, most importantly, breathing new life into England's finest railway hotel.

As a student, I remember passing the former Midland Grand, its pointy towers and arched windows part fairytale, part schlock-horror set. A collision of fantasy and function on the Euston Road. The hotel closed almost 80 years ago and decades later only narrowly avoided demolition.

Thank God it's still here, Tania and I agree, settling back against black leather, as self-satisfied as cigar-puffing grandees in a gentlemen's club. The Hogwartsian space is cleverly divided and lit just right, so we are aware only of the undulating beauty of oak linenfold panelling and heavy glass lamps in our own "bit", not overwhelmed by the soaring gothic windows, or the sheer distance from the far end of the room.

"You can have a glass of Bolly for £13," says Tania. "And that's a good white." She points at La Croix Vermentino sauvignon blanc, £5.25 a glass. "Pity they only have whites from Castello Banfi, though."

Then, "Proper peasanty," she says, scooping coarse duck terrine on to sourdough toast while I spoon up pea and ham soup. We follow with roast fillet of seabass and a little fricassee of peppers and mushrooms. "Simple, subtle, but delicious," she says.

The public areas of Sir George Gilbert Scott's Victorian masterpiece are simply mesmerising. The stone cantilevered staircase, curved hallways of Minton tiles and unexpectedly decorative, jewel-coloured pattern and illustration on walls, cornices and ceilings all carefully, lovingly restored.

There are 38 suites in the original building and a further 207 rooms in a new annexe, Barlow House. Those rooms are not a bad size, if unexciting (and I'd advise an upper floor). At this scale, though, it is impossible to avoid creeping corporateness – even in the suites. Mine is comfortable for sure, with a marble bathroom (REN products in a glass-lidded box), office area, heavy sunburst mirror, easy chairs positioned for gazing across the giant Olympic symbol to Platform 9 and Eurostar. Wi-Fi is free (but only in the suites) and marks for not being too snobbish to provide tea- and coffee-making things, too. Just because I have the services of a butler doesn't mean I want to rack up room service bills.

I am less keen on being woken at 7am by a platform announcement (not sure it would be any quieter facing Euston Road – especially as double glazing isn't allowed for the listed windows) but, hey, it's fun watching everyone scurrying about below. Even though, since my stay, Marcus Wareing has opened his Gilbert Scott Brasserie, designed by David Collins, in the former hotel entrance hall and coffee room, and stolen all the thunder, I urge you to make time for coffee, if nothing else, in the Booking Office. It is surely the most inspiring new public space in London. [source]

Moby says Britney Spears 'isn't music'. So what is?

In hypocritically describing pop as 'advertising for ringtones', Moby fails to grasp the genre's great emotional highs and lows.

Moby, I'm amazed ... she doesn't write that many of her songs, but who except Britney Spears could have performed Toxic?

In 2003, Moby co-wrote and produced a track for Britney Spears's fourth album, In the Zone. At the time, he was ridiculously popular following the success of his albums Play and 18, while Britney was still more famous for her pop songs than her personal life (well ... almost).

It seems, however, that their working relationship has soured somewhat. Earlier this month Moby, while trying to defend her to The Quietus, ended up calling her "a broken-down shell of a human being" and in a new interview with Spinner he claims her songs, and those of the majority of current chart pop, are "fun, but I don't think of it as music". He goes on: "It's manufactured. I appreciate it as a pop culture phenomenon and some of the songs I like if I hear them in a shopping mall or something, but it doesn't function as music for me."

For Moby, a song can only be classed as "music" if it has "integrity in a really interesting, direct way" and though he claims to not be criticising the likes of Rihanna, Britney and Ke$ha directly, he goes on to refer to their output as "hyper-produced corporate product" and, the old classic, "advertising for ringtones".

Setting aside his blatant hypocrisy – licensing your entire album to commercials, as Moby did with Play, makes you guilty of producing "advertising for Vauxhall Corsas", if not ringtones – it's an argument that seems to follow most pop music around these days. At the heart of it is the theory that all music needs to have been wrenched from the emotional core of a tortured soul, ideally recorded in a basement toilet and augmented only by the scratching of fingers on guitar strings and tears, ACTUAL TEARS. It forgets that music can be fun and instantaneous, or that great pop stars are often used as a front for great pop songs, often written by great songwriters (Max Martin, Cathy Dennis, Stargate). It also hints at another old adage: that pop is for children who lap it up without giving it a second thought.

Yes, Britney doesn't write that many of her songs, but would ... Baby One More Time or Toxic have worked as well if someone else had sung them? Or if it's genuine emotion you're after, have a listen to Cold Case Love from Rihanna's Rated R or Britney's own Everytime, performed in the aftermath of her break-up with Justin Timberlake.

Let's not get carried away – there is a lot of bad pop out there (Black Eyed Peas, Pitbull, Olly Murs, I'm looking at you). But to tar it all with this incredibly patronising brush doesn't do anyone any favours. If Moby's idea of "proper music" is somehow linked to longevity (his ringtone comment degrades it as something throwaway), it will be interesting to see whose music stands the test of time. Personally, I'd rather Umbrella was remembered over We Are All Made of Stars. [source]

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can't exactly get rid of each other since they have six kids and all, but it sounds like they might make their union legally binding -- and perhaps in the not-so-distant future.

Brad hinted at the prospect of getting hitched in a recent interview. “The kids ask about marriage. It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at," he said (via Us magazine).

But, it's not like their kiddos don't know they're wildly in love. Brad added: “We tell the kids, 'Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.' They go, 'Eww, gross!' But we demand it."

Originally Brangelina swore they wouldn't marry until gay marriage was legal, but perhaps their time table has changed.
