Life has been a bit tumultuous for him these days, but Owen Wilson looks to be returning to his usual lifestyle of having fun and flirting with the ladies.
The “You, Me, and Dupree” stud was spotted running around on the Malibu beach with his dog and brother Andrew on Monday afternoon, looking fit and trim as he went shirtless with a pair of boardshorts.

Eminem suffered a health scare over the holidays and was hospitalized for complications from pneumonia along with heart problems that may have been related. He was reported to have gained a lot of weight and to now be over 200 pounds. According to The Enquirer, he’s just 5′7″, so that would make him borderline obese.
Eminem has dealt with many personal problems over the past two years including the breakup of his re-marriage to Kim Mathers and the death of his best friend, rapper Proof. His mother was also diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and although he reconciled with her in 2006 she has since cashed in on their relationship with a tell-all book alleging that his rags to riches story was largely fabricated and that their family never lived in a trailer, as was shown in his biographical movie, 8 Mile. In the book, “My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem” Eminem’s mom also claims that he has bipolar disorder and that he was too wasted to remember re-marrying Kim.
When the news came out that Eminem had gained a lot of weight I looked hard for a new picture of him, but I couldn’t find any photos after a December, 2006 appearance on TRL with 50 Cent.
The National Enquirer has a photo of Eminem along with the sordid details of his eating habits, and I feel kind of sorry for the guy. I’m also a stress eater and I really have to keep myself busy and exercise so that I don’t pig out on carbs. Bread and cookies are what gets me. Eminem has fallen prey to the ever-present fast food and chain eateries:
“He’s got a double chin, a pot-belly and droopy man-breasts. And he’s living a reclusive lifestyle in an attempt to hide his new body,” says the insider.
Eminem’s maternal grandmother Better Kresin told The Enquirer she blames his ongoing food binge on being stressed out about his two failed marriages to ex-wife Kim.
“He really wanted it to work between them, to have a happy family life for their daughter Hailie Jade, something he claims he never had while growing up.”
Eminem’s weight problem is a result of too many trips to Detroit’s Outback Steakhouses and Taco Bells, says the insider.
“Marshall has Taco Bell lunches of burritos and tacos with dessert, then Outback dinners of three filet mignons with all the fixings.”

Eminem was once super fit so surely he knows what he’s got to do to shed those convenience food pounds. It’s easier said than done, though, and maybe his health scare will provide him with the impetus to make some positive changes in his lifestyle. He’s self medicating with food instead of booze and drugs, and although it doesn’t seem that bad at first it’s something that got out of hand for him and can lead to all sorts of health problems.
Star Magazine has a doozy about how former pothead Brad Pitt was caught smoking a joint with Jackass star Steve O. It’s covered in an article about how 44 year-old Pitt must feel old because he’s getting Restalyne injections and working hard as a father to four kids. They suggest that Brad is going through a midlife crisis and that he’s been going out and partying a little to cope. It all sounds catty, like the guy can’t even have a drink with friends without being talked about:
“He still smokes,” another insider tells Star “He sneaks cigs behind Angie’s back.” At the Cannes Film Festival in May, “He stayed outside, smoking and drinking,” says a witness. “He looked stressed, like he was trying to get his fill because he had a limited time to enjoy his cigarettes.”
But cigarettes aren’t the only smokes that Brad has enjoyed. A source tells Star he spotted Brad smoking what looked like a joint with Jackass wild man Steve-O on a hot L.A. afternoon. “I couldn’t believe that someone as famous as Brad Pitt would be smoking openly,” the witness says. “But there he was, lighting up a fattie with Steve-O. I was stunned!”
Angie would have been, too. “She doesn’t think Brad should smoke pot or anything else,” an insider tells Star. “She wishes he’d drop all that. A drink once in a while is OK. But that’s it.”

Brad Pitt was known to be a heavy pot smoker in the late 90s, so this sounds like it could be true. He certainly looks like he’s been smoking something. Pitt and his much-maligned wife, Angelina Jolie, showed up at the Critics Choice Awards on 1/7/08 in Santa Monica last night and he was sporting a messy goatee, unkempt hair and a few more pounds. He still looks hot, though, and I bet it’s for a role. According to IMDB his film Dirty Tricks, about the Nixon Watergate scandal, is in production. He plays Nixon advisor John Dean, who orchestrated the Watergate cover-up, although Dean looked thin and clean cut in the photos I saw of him.
There was a story this week that Pitt’s hometown of Springfield, Missouri was set to build a museum to the famous actor, but it was based on a joke that Springfield’s public relations person made that was taken out of context. There will be no Brad Pitt museum - for now.

Obviously Posh Spice isn’t fat, but she’ll be appearing as a fat version of herself at a wedding on television’s Ugly Betty.
An insider at the ABC network said: “Everybody at the wedding will be expecting skinny beautiful Posh to show up.
“But they’ll be horrified to see she’s piled on the pounds because of major comfort eating and American junk food.”
The 33-year-old singer - who recently moved to Los Angeles with husband David and their three sons after he signed a multi-million dollar contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team - admitted she was not invited to appear on the show for her acting prowess.
She said: “I’ll be playing myself. And I’ll get to wear a fabulous outfit, so I won’t be acting.”
I saw the Spice Girls movie, about 30 times when my little sis was crazy for them, and I believe Posh absolutely when she says she won’t be acting!!
Posh, it seems, can write, gushing on her blog about how much she loves her life in Los Angeles.
Hi everybody
Hope you are all well? Well we have finally unpacked our boxes and I am loving our new house - it is totally major! Just adding some of the finishing touches to it actually and then it really will feel like home. On top of that the weather here has been amazing too so we are all a happy bunch. The boys are really looking forward to starting their new school so we’ve got to make sure they are all kitted out with new schoolbags and pencil cases - you remember what it’s like going back to school, you’ve got to have a new EVERYTHING!
David and myself attended a launch last week in Bel Air (very swish) for the launch of our latest fragrance Intimately Beckham, we met lots of people there and I thought it went really well.
On top of that I have been busy having a good look around LA, checking out the restaurants and the beauty parlours - well you never know when you might need a facial!
I’m also just starting work on my new dVb denim collection - I’m really excited about starting the next project - it’s going to be totally major so keep your eyes open for that.
Catch up with you all again very soon
Love
Victoria

Only Victoria, I’m not sure that the term ‘swish’ is much in use in America. I could be wrong. Then again, the last thing I would want to hear is Victoria telling us how A-list a party is in a broad West Coast twang. It just wouldn’t be right.
