March 11, 2010

It’s been a year and a half since Jennifer Hudson’s fiancé, David Otunga, proposed to the singer with a 5.5-carat diamond sparkler from Neil Lane — and now, the parents of a bouncing baby boy are finally preparing to walk down the aisle! “The wedding is coming up. We have finalized most of the details and have some ideas about the honeymoon,” WWE NXT Rookie wrestler David tells In Touch. Jennifer, 28, has said she wants her special day “to be a full-on production,” and, of course, the couple’s son, 7-month-old David Jr., will be playing a big part in the nuptials. “I am getting him a custom-made tuxedo to match mine,” adds his proud father. “I can’t wait to see him in it, looking sharp like a little grown man!” Jennifer already has a Neil Lane ring, and she is “looking at Fred Leighton” for the wedding bands, an insider says.

Tiger Woods Hires Ari Fleischer as PR Guru; Likely Planning Return to Golf This Month


Tiger Woods has summoned Ari Fleischer, former adviser and White House Press Secretary under George W. Bush, to be his PR man as he plots his return to golf.

According to the New York Post, Woods is planning to compete at the Arnold Palmer Invitational March 25 in Orlando, and Fleischer is on board with the planning.

“They were in his living room this week going over strategy in two weeks,” a source said, noting that “I would be shocked if he didn’t play the Arnold Palmer.”

Palmer himself reportedly has told confidants that Tiger Woods is definitely playing. Quietly, the people running the tournament are preparing for a media crush.

As for Ari Fleischer’s role?

How involved the former Bush aide will be remains to be seen, but appears he is a big part of the healing process that began with Woods’ apology speech February 19.

Can Ari Fleischer rebuild the Tiger Woods brand?

Knowing he eventually has to stand before people publicly and take questions, which he didn’t then, is why Woods sought out the advice of the renowned spin doctor.

After resigning his White House post, he formed Ari Fleischer Sports Communications, focusing on crisis response and control, in partnership with IMG Sports agency.

Woods is repped by IMG (and has been counseled by Obama and Clinton).

Amid his admission to steroid use, disgraced baseball star Mark McGwire is a Fleischer client. He also advised the Green Bay Packers following their divorce with Brett Favre, and the NCAA on how to repair the image of college football’s BCS.

Good luck with that one.

On one hand, Fleischer has his work cut out after everything Tiger did to sabotage his own image. On the other hand, Tiger’s already back together with Elin Woods, and it’s not like his current handlers could possibly have done a worse job.

What do you think? Can Tiger’s image be salvaged by Ari?

Michael Bolton and Lady Gaga “Murder” each other!


When Michael Bolton heard that an up-and-coming young artist named Lady Gaga wanted to work with him, he was curious. “It was before her album came out, I hadn’t heard of her, but she already had buzz in the industry,” the 56-year-old singer told In Touch at a listening session for his May 5 album One World One Love at his Connecticut home. “So I said what I always say — ‘Send over some MP3s.’ The first one I clicked on was “Just Dance” — and I thought, ‘Let’s write.’” It didn’t hurt that Gaga was a big fan of Michael’s. “I never expect that, but it was nice,” he says. “She grew up listening to my hits, so she had a good idea of my vocal range. She’d play something and say, ‘I think this in your wheelhouse.’” Michael was also immediately impressed by both Gaga’s artistry (“She has lyrics, she can belt, she was always wearing something provocative”) — and her endurance. “The first night we wrote together in Los Angeles, we were in the studio from 8 at night to 6:30 in the morning,” he says. In fact, Michael was even more confident in Gaga’s direction than the 22-year-old singer’s own mother! “We finished the bridge of the song when we both happened to be in London, so I took her and her mother out to dinner — and her mom still wasn’t sure of her choice of music as a career,” he recalls. “It was classic. Three months later, she was the biggest thing on the planet!” Gaga and Michael’s sessions resulted in his bleeding ballad and future single “Murder My Heart” — a killer phrase that she had to sell him on. “I said to her, people are going to be so shocked by us collaborating, we have to do something that will just kill it,” Michael recalls. “And she said, ‘Well how about, ‘Murder My Heart?’ At first I said, ‘I don’t know — murder?’ But then she insisted, ‘Women will love it,’ and I got it. She’s a true artist.”

Camila Alves on motherhood: “I love everything about it”

There’s no question that Camila Alves is a model mom! The former catwalk queen and current Shear Genius hostess couldn’t stop gushing about her family with longtime partner Matthew McConaughey at Bravo’s upfront party. “I love everything about it. Every day, it’s a new thing,” the hot mama of Levi, 20 months, and Vida, 2 months, told In Touch about rearing her brood at the New York event on March 10. And despite having to share his A-list parents with a new little sister, Levi is adjusting well to his big brother role. “He’s having a great time,” Camila added. Looks like all is well in the Alves-McConaughey household!

In 2009, critics panned the spring collection Lindsay collaborated on with Ungaro and she failed to appear at their runway show in Paris Fashion Week in France on March 8. “I don’t work for them anymore,” she confirmed to Women’s Wear Daily, adding, “There’s legal things going on. I can’t really discuss it.” Looks like Lindsay needs to find another new day job.
