It doesn’t help that they haven’t looked so glamorous lately, especially Brad with his billy goat beard (see the pic at left). There’s also the fact that the duo have not attended any award shows this season, even though Brad’s Inglourious Basterds has received many nominations, including kudos for Best Ensemble Cast from the SAG Awards.
Plus, the tabloids have been reporting that Angelina was having an affair with dialect coach for her upcoming movie, Salt. As StyleCaster notes, at least this gossip story has been debunked:
The supposed affair was rumored to have been between Jolie and her dialect coach, Howard Samuelsohn and was said to have happened while filming her new movie, Salt, due to hit theaters July 23, 2010. Samuelsohn stated today: “I’m 5′6″, I’m 51 years old, and I’ve never been to The Waldorf [Astoria Hotel in New York, where the alleged affair occurred]…I would like for someone to get the word out. [The story] is total bulls***.”
The fashion-forward site goes on to say, “If we think back on Jolie’s past conquests, a solid case could be made for the affair, BUT, we’re pretty sure she’s gotten past that man-eating stage (or at least we hope).”
StyleCaster has helpfully published a photo gallery of Angelina’s past loves, a list that can also be viewed as potential rebound relationships for the female half of Brangelina should the two call it quits. (Although, we can’t imagine Angie reuniting with Val Kilmer. Yes, that Val Kilmer).

We’re looking forward to spring time, but have to admit that these cold days of winter provide the perfect setting to talk about Russian writers and the women they love. With that in mind, we accepted an invitation to the New York premiere of ‘The Last Station,’ a new movie that explores the relationship between ‘War and Peace’ author Leo Tolstoy and his wife Sofya.
Christopher Plummer, who plays Tolstoy in the film, talked to us about the difficulties researching his role, while writer/director Michael Hoffman told us why marriage can be even more complex than Russian fiction. Each gave us their Academy Awards predictions about exes Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron, a pair of film directors who dealt with some road bumps in their own marriage.
Check out our interviews with Plummer, Hoffman and rising star James McAvoy, plus see what Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti had to say about everyone’s frontrunner, Meryl Streep.
As fans of truTV’s ‘Haunting Evidence’ know, John J. Oliver has an uncanny knack for looking into the future. Naturally, we were “psyched” when this professional psychic offered to talk celebrity predictions with Predicto TV.
Ever gracious, John was nice enough to stop by our office and spend some quality time discussing what we can expect in 2010. After we’d granted him one vital request – that during our in-depth interview he be able to face south for optimal feng shui – he settled in and gave us some seer-ious 2010 predictions. In part 2 of our chat (watch Part 1 here) he clairvoyantly tips us off as to whose new year will be smooth sailing, as well as who can expect rocky roads ahead.
Predicto awarded a lucky subscriber our $50,000 Grand Prize. This is the largest Grand Prize Predicto Mobile has offered since our launch in 2007. We gave the award to Danielle Thomas, a self-described “native Arizona gal” who joined the Predicto community in August 2008.
“I wish I could find the words to describe how grateful I am for this good fortune and the awesome people at Predicto,” says Ms. Thomas. As someone who loves entertaining at her home with family and friends, she already has major plans for her prize money. “One of the first things I am planning on spending the money on is my front yard,” she says. “Trust me, our landscaping is way overdue!”
This is a very special episode of Predicto TV! It’s our one-year anniversary special and our 50th episode. We look at some of the big stars who made predictions this year, such as Kim Kardashian, Kathy Griffin, Suze Orman, LeBron James, Derek Jeter, the Naked Brothers, Joe Namath and many more. Thank you to all our viewers over the past 12 months. We look forward to bringing you more of the hottest stars making their predictions on news and pop culture.

Smack in the middle of New York’s Meatpacking District, Predicto TV took in the scene at an event that had nothing to do with meat and everything to do with vegetables. The Food Network brought out its stars to support the Good Food Gardens, an initiative to educate families on the importance of fruits, vegetables and other fresh, nutritious foods—key ingredients to ending childhood hunger. We got the chance to chat with Aida Mollenkamp, Aaron McCargo Jr. and Alex Guarnaschelli.
Good Food Gardens, created by the Food Network, Share Our Strength and Teich Gardens Systems, are educational gardens that offer children fun, hands-on gardening experiences that inspire healthy eating habits for life. The mission of the Good Food Gardens is to educate families on the importance of fruits, vegetables and other nutritious foods—key ingredients to ending childhood hunger.

Alex Rodriguez’s journey from “A-Fraud” to ALCS hero and World Series Champion has too many chapters to sum up in 160 characters. Still, a timeline of the Yankee slugger’s cell phone use reveals a similar, scapegoat-to-superstar storyline.
With the Bronx Bombers’ season over and the World Series in process – featuring New York archrivals, the Red Sox, zoning in on their own Championship – A-Rod opted out of his contract. Strangely, he and agent Scott Boras chose to release this news by a voicemail message. The beleaguered millionaire may not have wanted to meet face-to-face with Yankee GM Brian Cashman or deal with the tough New York fans, but this gaffe put Rodriguez in the doghouse throughout the major leagues.
As one of baseball’s all-time greatest hitters, it’s no surprise that Rodriguez would seek out advice from another legend at the plate. In his own words, “I mean, it’s kind of like, if you’re a writer, why wouldn’t you want to talk to Ernest Hemingway?” Only problem here is that Alex’s “Hemingway” and text-message buddy turned out to be Pete Rose, the Hit King who nevertheless is under a lifetime ban from the game.
Here’s where things heat up. When Cynthia Rodriguez served her ex-husband with divorce papers, she backed up her suit with threats that she would release Alex’s texts to Madonna. At the time, both Rodriguez and the Material Mom denied any shenanigans, but the pair’s SMS love notes would usher in the dawning of the ill-fated “A-Rod-ica” affair.
Of course, it’s not so scandalous when you’re already divorced. Back on the prowl in Miami, Rodriguez was introduced to actress Kate Hudson, on whom he’d been crushing hard ever since seeing the movie Almost Famous. The two kept in touch over the winter via tender texts, and early in 2009 started dating. While she’s been getting an allegedly chilly reception from Jeter’s GF Minka Kelly, after the 2009 season A-Rod’s enjoyed, nearly everyone in New York sees Hudson as a good luck charm.
Hip surgery early in the year looked certain to doom A-Rod’s – and the Yankees’ – 2009 season. Without their superstar, the team got off to a horrendous start, but everyone in the organization breathed a huge sigh of relief when Manager Joe Girardi received a text from Alex saying “Everything’s great.” Rodriguez would return to the team May 8 against Baltimore, and on the very first pitch of his first at bat, swatted a three-run homer that would prove to be a very good omen for 2009 after all.

It was a big day around the Predicto TV offices on Seventh Avenue when John J. Oliver stopped by recently. In the two years (yay us) that Predicto has been around, this was the first time that a professional psychic has paid a call on us. We were thrilled to welcome the co-star of ‘Haunting Evidence’ on truTV to make Predicto predictions of our favorite celebs.
John was a gracious and nice guy as he settled in for an interview in our office (John facing south, at his request, for better feng shui). At this time of year John is gearing up for 2010 predictions, and he made so many for us, we will have to break it down into multiple episodes. In this clip, watch him focus on celebrity couples Brad & Angelina, Chris & Rihanna and Jay-Z & Beyonce.
Of the erstwhile Chris Brown and estranged girlfriend Rihanna, “You’re going to see wonderful romantic news or news of new children” and Jay-Z & Beyonce, “I don’t get this strong feeling like I do with other celebrity couples… I wonder if their relationship in large part is a publicity vehicle, I wonder that when I see their auras together.”
Since first opening its doors in 2007, the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge has offered temporary housing for over 2,500 cancer patients. For the second year in a row, Hope Lodge teamed up with Showtime to help raise funds and awareness for its facilities and patients. This year’s fundraiser was a tailor-made event held in Tribeca at the Metropolitan Home Showtime House, where top designers from around the world created one-of-a-kind rooms built around the cable network’s top shows – Dexter, Weeds, Californication, The Tudors, Nurse Jackie and United States of Tara.
In between touring the spectacular 14,000-square-foot facilities and taking part in a silent auction, supporters took the time to share their thoughts on some of the biggest topics being talked about by the Predicto community.
LeBron James is on top of the pro basketball world, and now his story is on the big screen. At the listening party for the soundtrack to his new movie ‘More Than A Game’, LeBron and his friends celebrated in style. We talk to Akon and Ester Dean, along with the movie’s director, Kris Belman. The stars played Predicto and answered questions about hot topics in sports and music.
