As you may or may not know I write both the Celebrity Nooz and Where Are They Now newsletters, respectively. From this point forward Where Are They Now will be dropping the
segments from the weekly newsletter.
I know that many of you do enjoy these parts of the newsletters, and I'm sad to see them go, too, but the times they are a changing and sometimes we need to change as well. I'm sure a lot of you will be unhappy about this news, and I completely understand and sympathize. I have a blast putting these newsletters together for your enjoyment and I love getting your celebrity suggestions and feedback about your encounters with stars. Keep the emails and suggestions coming!
And thank you so much for reading. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be doing this. Putting these publications together is my favorite thing and it makes my day, my week, my year. So please keep reading and tell your friends about it and see if they want to get all the nooz and catch-up with the stars of yesteryear. I'd really apreciate it!

Pop music star and television personality Gwen Stefani has been chosen to receive the E! People's Choice Awards Fashion Icon Award at a Nov. 10 ceremony in Santa Monica.
"The three-time Grammy Award winner and four-time coach on NBC's hit musical competition series The Voice has seamlessly translated her magnetic style into a series of successful lifestyle brands for all ages, including her fashion line L.A.M.B., its sister label Harajuku Lovers, her eyewear line gx by Gwen Stefani and the award-winning Harajuku Mini for Target," a press release said.
Stefani called the award an "incredible honor" in a statement.
"As an artist, musician and entrepreneur, fashion has always served as a creative outlet for me to express my personality and music," she said. "I am so grateful to receive this award and continue to be inspired by those who stand apart and embrace their unique style and individuality."

David Oyelowo to star in Showtime's 'President is Missing'
Selma and Les Miserables actor David Oyelowo has signed on to play the title role in Showtime's drama series, The President is Missing.
"David brings such enormous depth, sensitivity and power to every role he plays," Gary Levine, the network's president of entertainment, said in a statement. "Having him as our lead ensures that our series will have the exhilarating suspense of a political thriller along with the juicy complexity of a character drama."
The adaptation of the book by James Patterson and former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to begin filming next year.
Anthony Peckham, whose credits include Invictus, is writing the screenplay for the pilot episode.
"A powerless and politically aimless vice president unexpectedly becomes president halfway into his administration's first term, despite his every wish to the contrary," a synopsis said. "He walks right into a secret, world-threatening crisis, both inside and outside the White House. Attacked by both friends and enemies alike, with scandal and conspiracy swirling around him, he is confronted with a terrible choice: keep his head down, toe the party line and survive, or act on his stubborn, late-developing conscience and take a stand."
LOOSE LIPS:
"Happy Birthday @gwenstefani!!!! I love you so much it's actually stupid... And possibly illegal in the state of California."

"We feel incredibly fortunate to have landed a cast loaded with this much talent," showrunner Paul Zbyszewski said in a statement. "From the beginning, we knew we'd need a group of actors who were multifaceted, who could play all the chords any great Marvel show promises to play, from dramatic thriller to comedy to action. It's going to be really fun to watch them work."
Marvel's Helstrom will have a 10-episode first season. The series will debut on Hulu in 2020.
