Kelly Rutherford is best known for her role as the mother of Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and Eric van der Woodsen (Connor Paolo) on CWTV’s hit show, Gossip Girl. She obtained a temporary restraining order against her ex-husband, Daniel Giersch requiring him to stay at least 100 yards away from Kelly; their two children, Hermes and Helena; the nanny, Michaela Kothanova; her mother, Ann Edwards; Kelly’s car, home, and job too. Kelly accused Daniel of threatening her nanny, being adamant with his scheduled custody visits, and giving her a hard time breastfeeding due to increased stress. Kelly’s nanny apparently quit due to Daniel’s threats, which added even more stress for her. The restraining order is only in effect until the court hearing, which is scheduled for October 15, 2009.

If all goes as planned for Kelly, we recommend that she should purchase this one-of-a-kind Cognac-colored natural sapphire and diamond pendant from The Natural Sapphire Company to relieve her stress.

On Sunday, September 13, 2009, The MTV Video Music Awards were held in Radio City Music Hall in New York. Taylor Swift, a 19-year old American country pop singer won her first MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video for “You Belong With Me”. During her acceptance speech, Kanye West went on stage and stole the microphone from Swift and said that Beyoncé Knowles video for “Single Ladies” was “one of the best videos of all time”, implying that Beyoncé should have won this award and not Taylor Swift. Kanye gave the microphone back to Taylor, which resulted in booing from the audience, celebrities and fans alike. Taylor Swift left the stage without finishing her acceptance speech and Kanye West was escorted out of Radio City Music Hall for the night.

Later in the awards show, Beyoncé won the VMA for Best Video of the Year for “Single Ladies”. While accepting the Moonman, she invited Taylor Swift to the stage to finish her acceptance speech due to the interruption by Kanye West earlier in the awards show saying, “This is amazing. I remember being 17-years-old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life, so I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment.” Swift went on stage to finish her acceptance speech, hugged Beyoncé, and then the two winners left the stage together.

After the awards show Taylor Swift commented that, “I was standing on stage and I was really excited because I’d just won the award and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage. And then I wasn’t excited anymore after that.”

Many celebrities backed Taylor Swift and bashed Kanye West by tweeting about the incident, including Katy Perry, Pink, Donald Trump, P-Diddy, and many others.

Even though Kanye West apologized twice for his actions, the latter more sincere, we recommend that Taylor Swift should pick up a beautiful yellow sapphire and diamond pendant to help her  move on after the tirade.
