Katie Couric

We’re always trying to dive into the past of celebrities just to see what kinds of lives they lead before fame.   Today we’re going to focus on female celebrities and show that at one point in their lives they truly showed school spirit as cheerleaders.  It’s kind of hard to picture Katie Couric (above) as a cheerleader but she was! Enjoy the gallerry and remember the names of each lady are beneath each photo.

Brad Pitt, who appears on the cover of the current issue of Esquire, told the magazine: “I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends and I have my family and I haven’t known life to be any happier. I’m making things. I just haven’t known life to be any happier.”

Despite having 6 children, Pitt says that life had virtually no meaning to him up until about 10 years ago. He claims that he just kept getting close to goals but not achieving them. Amongst those is not graduating college and falling shy just 2 credits. Pitt also acknowledged that a reckless lifestyle and drugs contributed to a life not filled with any meaning.

Having children was clearly a big part of Brad’s lifestyle change. Now he wouldn’t be without Maddox, 11, Pax, nine, Zahara, eight, Shiloh, six, and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

As he told Esquire: “I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big. I wanted there to be chaos in the house… there’s constant chatter in our house, whether it’s giggling or screaming or crying or banging.

He continued: “I love it. I love it. I love it. I hate it when they’re gone. I hate it. Maybe it’s nice to be in a hotel room for a day – “Oh, nice, I can finally read a paper.” But then, by the next day, I miss that cacophony, all that life.”

Fox has announced singer and former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland and Mexican singer and actress Paulina Rubio will serve as mentors and the new members of The X Factor’s judging panel alongside creator and veteran judge Simon Cowell and returning judge Demi Lovato.

“It’s taken more than a decade, but I’m delighted to finally be on a panel with three girls (I think!). Paulina and Kelly both have great taste and massive experience in the music industry and together with Demi, this is going to be a fun panel. It just feels like the time to do something different,” Cowell said in a statement.

Rowland had already been a judge for the UK edition of the show and will be replacing L.A Reid and Rubio will be replacing two-time judge Britney Spears. As of Monday the two were in final negotiations with the show. Should be interesting to see how they do!

Zach Galifianakis is a guy who hasn’t and doesn’t show any signs of letting fame get to his head.  Which is why the 43 year old actor and star of Hangover III decided to invite his formerly homeless friend Elizabeth Haist to the premiere.  The pair became friends in 1994 when Galifianakis was trying to launch his comedy career in L.A. During that time, he visited nearby Fox Laundry, where Haist volunteered and survived off tips from customers. The two stayed in touch over the years, and two years ago, Galifianakis bought Haist a one-bedroom apartment. He now pays her rent and utilities.

Zach is a married man (married Quinn Lunnberg in 2012) but clearly his wife doesn’t mind him doing these amazing deeds.  Plus Haist is 87 years old now so Zach’s wife isn’t too worried.  Haist told The New York Daily News she was “looking forward” to catching up with her old friend. “I like the excitement of it,” she explained. “If he’s in town, he takes me. Otherwise he lets me take a friend. I dress up nice and a friend helps me with my makeup. It’s fun, not something I’ve ever dreamed I’d experience. The limo takes me home afterwards.”

Chief Keef, the 17 year old rapping star was arrested DeKalb County, GA yesterday for disorderly conduct.  At first it was unclear what exactly his conduct was.   Apparently the rapper was smoking marijuana in a fancy hotel.  According to the arrest sheet, Keith Cozart (his real name) was listed at 5’9 and 160 lbs.

Keef went on to tweet about his arrest saying that he was mad as (well we can’t say).   Keef has actually been arrested two times previously including one arrest that was gun related.  Also, he was recently sued for child support​ by his middle-school-aged baby mama who claimed Keef fathered her kid.

Needless to say it’s been an interested year for a guy who’s not even 18 yet.

Due to her highly publicized drug issues, Lindsay Lohan is being sued for $5 million by a company who she was originally suing for $1.1 million. D.N.A.M. Apparel Industries — a clothing manufacturer — just filed the countersuit against Lindsay in response to Lindsay’s lawsuit against the company.

Back in 2009, Lohan struck a deal with D.N.A.M. allowing them to manufacture clothes for her “6126″ clothing line but she claims the company didn’t pay her a licensing fee worth over $1 million. But now D.N.A.M. is countering saying that because of Lohan’s reckless lifestyle she has ruined their brand and because of her their business deals fell apart.

D.N.A.M. says that they invested millions for nothing. I wonder how Lohan is reacting this as she sits in rehab.

Ray Manzarek, co-founder and keyboardist of legendary Los Angeles rock band the Doors, has died, according to a post on the band’s official Facebook page. According to the band’s statement, Manzarek passed away Monday, May 20 at the RoMed Clinic in Rosenheim, Germany, after a long battle with bile duct cancer. He was 74.

Manzarek formed the Doors in 1965 after meeting iconic singer/poet Jim Morrison on L.A.’s Venice Beach. Manzarek’s playing was integral to the band’s sound, since the band had no bass guitarist and Manzarek played most of the basslines on his keyboards.

Manzarek is survived by his wife, Dorothy Manzarek; his brothers, Rick and James Manzarek; his son Pablo; and his three grandchildren, Noah, Apollo, and Camille.

“I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my friend and bandmate Ray Manzarek today,” said founding Doors guitarist Robby Krieger. “I’m just glad to have been able to have played Doors songs with him for the last decade. Ray was a huge part of my life and I will always miss him.”

Despite several reports that Beyoncé is expecting her second baby, her husband Jay-Z is opening up to say the rumors are not true. This weekend Jay emailed Ebro Darden, the program director for New York radio station Hot 97, to say that Blue Ivy won’t be a big sister just yet. Darden explained on Monday morning that “it’s not true.” The news comes just as rumors about the pregnancy have been at a ridiculous high. Only weeks ago, Beyoncé first opened up to “Good Morning America” about her desire to have more children.

And then there’s of course all the pictures that were swirling around about Beyonce having a baby bump. So wait a second here. Does Beyonce now get angry at people for insinuating that she’s overweight? Yes, that was a joke but we’re surprised she hasn’t issued any kind of statement yet.

Currently Beyonce is spanning the globe on tour. Rumor has it that just this past Saturday there was no evidence of a baby bump. Just goes to show you what funny angles can do.

Sinbad, the popular ’90s comedian and sitcom star, is reportedly into the IRS for some major money, and filed for bankruptcy in April. The 53-year old actor allegedly owes more than $8 million to the IRS and several hundred thousand to various creditors, but can only claim about $131,000 in assets. He was forced to put his Hidden Hills estate up for sale a while back in an effort to pay down his debts, and this is the second time he’s filed for bankruptcy.

According to court documents, he brings in about $16,000 a month and simply can’t keep up with his bills.  And it’s not like this is the first time a celebrity has gotten into trouble with the IRS this year, or any year.   For any normal person bringing in $16K a month is a pretty solid income.   For someone who used to make millions and never paid their debts?  It’s a different story.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again.  I simply don’t get this.  I really don’t.  If you’re a millionaire is it so hard to set aside some of those millions to pay the government what you owe them?  Maybe Sinbad can appear on Always Sunny in Philadelphia again and start paying down his debt.
