But celebrities and normal people share at least one bit of common ground — their need for love and, at times, for marriage and families. Al though celebrity marriages are typi cally shorter than those away from the spotlight, and occasionally done for publicity (remember the 5-minute marriage of Carmen Electra and Den nis Rodman, anyone?), the public’s fascination with celebrity weddings is nothing new. Chances are 2005 will follow the trends of other celebrity-obsessive years. With the recent speculation of wedding bells ringing for retired ten nis star and pin-up queen Anna Kournikova and Latin crooner En rique Iglesias, the question remains: What hot celebrity couples will marry this year? Rumors have been swirling since the beginning of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher’s hot relationship. After the initial surprise of this siz zling May/December romance, Hol lywood and fans began asking: When will they wed and will they in corporate Hollywood’s trendiest reli gion, Kabbalah? Perhaps this will be the year Demi and Ashton make their controversial relationship legal. Drew Barrymore and her musician boyfriend, The Strokes’ Fabrizio “Fab” Moretti, have been surrounded by engagement rumors for quite a while. Us Weekly published pictures of them shopping at jewelry stores, although Drew tells the magazine they were “shopping for a pen.” With the recent passing of her father, John Barrymore, Fab jBHRi has shown support and comfort for his grieving girl-^^tjl friend. Perhaps the third time will ^ be the charm for Drew this year, i who’s previously been married to \ bar owner Jeremy Thomas and out rageous funnyman Tom Green. There are other celeb weddings to look out for this year: The Royalty of Real Estate Donald Thimp and model fiancee Milania Klauss are set to wed this month. Watch for a huge (and hopefully not too tacky) wedding in the next few weeks. Also, look out for Bennifer Part 2 (Ben Affleck and Jen nifer Gardner) and 2004’s Sexist Man Alive Jude Law and girlfriend Sienna Miller, as rumors about wedding bells abound for both famous couples. Baby boom 2004 A Hollywood baby boom blew up in 2004, with A-list celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow and hubby Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Kate Hudson and rocker hus band Chris Robinson, and Courteney Cox and quirky love David Arquette all adding to their families. And with the recent deliveries of Julia Roberts’ frater nal twins and Liv Tyler’s baby boy, the 2005 baby boom may see the biggest stars around starting families. Britney Spears is another celebrity striving to board the baby bandwagon. Already a stepmother twice-over to husband Kevin Federline’s two chil dren, Britney has been hinting that she wants to be a mother since she and Kevin wed in mid-September. “A lot of people think you should wait till you’re older to have kids,” said the 23-year-old in a post on her members-only Web site, adding, “I’ve had a career since I was 16, have traveled around the world and back and even kissed Madonna! The only thing I haven’t done so far is ex perience the closest thing to God, ancf that’s having a baby. I can’t wait! ” Bret Furtwangler Another over-exposed star itching to become a mother is Jennifer Lopez. Gossip columnists recently reported that the multi-talented star allegedly asked the chef at a ritzy London hotel to prepare nutrient rich meals of herrings, lentils and nuts to “boost her fertility.” Accord ing to gossip magazine In Touch, Jennifer even went as far as switch ing all of hubby Marc Anthony’s tightie-whities with silk and satin boxer shorts after reportedly read ing an article that claimed boxers were the favored underwear of choice for men looking to get on the stork’s delivery list. No one knows what will happen in the hills of Hollywood in 2005, but don’t count on it being too much dif ferent from other years. Expect plenty of surprises and shockers — especial ly with Paris Hilton’s recent comment that she wants to have a child some time soon. Let’s just hope that 2005 is full of the bombshells that keep us all entertained. amylichty@dailyemerald.com IN BRIEF Gadgets are functional, not flamboyant, in 2005 LAS VEGAS — The world’s premier consumer electronics show wouldn’t be complete without the fanciful and outlandish: A smart oven preserved and cooked meals based on remote commands, while a plasma TV taller than the walls in many homes inspired ooohs and aaahs from couch potatoes. But manufacturers at this year’s gad getfest generally took a more modest approach: They eschewed the flamboy ant and futuristic in favor of relatively affordable devices that will debut with in weeks or months, not years. Many of the 2,400 exhibitors at the International Consumer Electronics Show this week hawked simple, ele gant, sub-$ 1,000 items meant to en hance consumers’ “digital lifestyles.” Universal remote controls, hand held computers, MP3 players and TVs that can be programmed from cell phones help users stay plugged into a world of digital music, video, games, television and Internet. “We’re encouraged by the real-world products at affordable price points this year,” said Mike George, chief market ing officer at Dell Inc. “We’re finally moving from hype to reality. ” Although the 2005 show is light on breathless enthusiasm, the realism thrills skeptics who have been hearing technologists’ gush about the “wired home” since the mid-1980s.
