Sheree Whitfield: Leaving The Real Housewives of Atlanta

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is losing an original cast member. Sheree Whitfield tells Wet Paint she’s exiting the series after four difficult seasons as a Bravo star. And, as you can tell by her statement below, she’s doing it with her ego fully intact: “After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave. The direction the show is going in is no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I’m tired of the fighting and the cattiness. “I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck.” During the recently-wrapped fourth season, Whitfield battled with her ex for child support, while she has memorably clashed over the years with castmates NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak.

Is Madonna a Hypocrite With Anti-Smoking Stance?

Madonna is taking a stand against cigarette smoking, yet glamorizes smoking in her new music video for “Girl Gone Wild,” setting off cries of hypocrisy. The topic came up when The Queen of Pop appeared on Today and was grilled over her 15-year-old daughter Lourdes being caught smoking recently. Madonna says she “wasn’t very happy” about the Lourdes Leon picture , adding “I don’t approve of anyone smoking cigarettes, most of all my daughter.” Well, except in the “Girl Gone Wild” video: Madonna – Girl Gone Wild (Official Video) Pressed on the apparent hypocrisy of herself smoking seductively in the video, she says it was just an “accessory” and she doesn’t smoke in real life. That’s very possible. She can use it as part of her video art form and have no interest in partaking, and certainly wish that her teenager daughter not. However, its mere presence in the video may influence others, given that Madonna is one of the more glamorous, legendary performers of all time. Well, at least before MDNA album sales tanked . What do you think? Hypocritical? Or totally different because a music video is an art form and does not dictate how Madonna lives her personal life?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: Inside the Proposal!

Nothing like calling a Jolie-Pitt family meeting for the announcement that the celebrity gossip world had longingly been waiting – and hoping – for. On a recent spring day, Brad Pitt gathered Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 3, to present their mom with something. That would be a tablet-shaped diamond engagement ring, estimated at 16 carats and worth $500,000, and which he helped design with jeweler Robert Procop. “Angelina cried and smiled” at the proposal, a confidante says. Aww. The children, who had been eager for their parents to wed after seven years together, were equally overjoyed to see Brad and Angelina engaged . The source adds. “Everyone hugged once she put [the ring] on. She went around and showed it to each of the kids , one by one. It was magical.” As the world now knows, Jolie, 36, quietly debuted that long-awaited ring at an April 11 private viewing at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Procop and then Pitt’s manager confirmed the engagement days later. Now, “Angie considers herself bonded to Brad for life,” adds the source. Speaking of which … do you think they’ll last?
