Sideshow: Brangelina cuddle, cheer for the Saints
It was extraordinary. Mystical, almost.
Thousands witnessed in awe as Brangelina made a resplendent appearance Sunday at Sun Life Stadium in Miami and looked down on the adrenaline-drenched field below, where two bands of mere mortals battled over an inflated oval ball.
With their 8-year-old son, Maddox, in tow, Brad, 46, and Angelina, 34, cheered for their beloved new Orleans Saints, thus ensuring their Super Bowl win.
They spread much love and good cheer. and lest anyone misunderstand their intent, they disseminated – with much rigor and zest – multiple facial and gestural signifiers (kissing, hugging, smiling, cooing, touching) to confirm that their bond is as indomitable as ever.
It was a good move by the couple, who continue to combat breakup rumors. but all good things must come to an end: Less than 12 hours later, those most Olympian of all lovers were seething with rage . . .Brangelina spreads its/their wrath
Brad and Angie aren’t done with their PR blitzkrieg. Not by a long shot.
Yesterday, they followed up their Super Bowl love-in by filing a lawsuit against Britain’s News of the World for having the gall to report that Brangelina is kaput.
In a statement, their lawyer, Keith Schilling, said he is suing the tabloid for making “false allegations about their relationship.” he denied the rumors most vociferously.
“We can confirm unequivocally,” he added, that reports Brangelina is kaput “are false as well as intrusive.”
What fine tactics! Gen. Patton would be proud. Start soft, with some public foreplay, then Wham! Blast ‘em to pieces.
Schlocky shock jock tells the truth?
Or is Howard Stern blowing more hot air?
The aging schlock jock, whose contract with Sirius satellite radio is up at the end of the year, yesterday said on his show that he is in talks to join Fox’s American Idol as a judge.
Entertainment news site the Wrap says Howard wants to occupy the gaping existential – and moral – vacuum that will be created by the departure of Simon “Darth Vader” Cowell. (But is Howard evil enough?)
Howard has publicly mulled a number of non-Sirius jobs. but is he serious, or angling for a lucrative new contract?
A super ‘Super’ show, indeed
CBS’s telecast of Super Bowl XLIV on Sunday was the most-watched program in TV history, say USA Today and the new York Daily News.
The game, which saw the new Orleans Saints best the Indianapolis Colts, 31-17, drew 106.5 mil viewers, according to preliminary Nielsen figures. Previously, the all-time TV record belonged to the 1983 finale of Korean War sitcom M*A*S*H, which drew 105.97 mil. last year, 98.7 mil viewers tuned in for Super Bowl XLIII.
The Donald: It’s the ideal marriage!
New York tycoon and champion self-promoter Donald Trump is irked by reports that he and his third wife, Slovenian-born beauty Melania Knauss-Trump, are experiencing marital turbulence. “This is so ridiculous,” he tells People about a report in the Palm Beach Daily News that Trump has spent several weekends alone at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., because his marriage is in trouble.
