Celebrity Gossip--Because I Know You Care

Some tidbits I thought were interesting:

German supermodel Heidi Klum on Wednesday announced her engagement to Seal after the British pop singer proposed to her on a mountaintop while the couple were skiing in Canada. In a book published just last month titled "Heidi Klum's Body of Knowledge," the supermodel suggested she was cautious about getting married again. "I actually don't know that I'll ever get married again ... but we'll see," she wrote. "When we get comfortable with someone, we tend to stop making an effort, and find ourselves going to bed each night in sweat-pants and big old granny undies, with cold cream on our faces," she warned. What's your point, Heidi?

Jude Law is to marry Sienna Miller, his co-star in the film Alfie, after she accepted his Christmas Day proposal. Oh well, he wasn't on The List, anyway. She can have him, I guess.

Appeal by Pretty Woman Star Perplexes Palestinians He's been a prostitute's rich beau, an officer, a gentleman and a gigolo, but Palestinians can't fathom Richard Gere's latest incarnation as a cheerleader for their elections this weekend.

Well known for his vocal support of Tibet's Dalai Lama and celebrated for his captivating good looks, Gere urged Palestinians in a television commercial broadcast ahead of Sunday's poll in the West Bank and Gaza to get out to vote for a new president to succeed Yasser Arafat, who died in November. But many voters, already struggling with the labyrinthine politics of the West Bank and Gaza, say they have never heard of the actor who swept Debra Winger off her feet as a dashing Navy officer in the 1982 film "An Officer and a Gentleman" and were even less interested when they were told he's an American.
I'm all about people having causes and stuff, but...huh???
