Mission Impossible: Sting for Taylor Swift

You hear the Mission Impossible theme in the background. A man wearing men's sunglasses enters The Sports Cellar bar in Idaho doing recon. Is he on the hunt for terrorists? Was somebody on the FBI's Most Wanted List last seen in the bar?

They caught their bad guy! They were playing Taylor Swift's music without having paid for the right to play it - even on the karaoke machine. Oh my! Oh the horror!

BMI and Taylor Swift are suing mad. Seriously?

The Rock & His Sunglasses

Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) is looking pretty good in his sunglasses. The Rock is one guy who is liked by both children (for his roles in movies such as The Game Plan and Race to Witch Mountain) and adults (for The Scorpion King), especially the moms I would imagine.

OK, I'll admit it. The guy is hot. It's too bad that he and his wife split up in 2007. They have a daughter together. They did say they'd remain friends forever. I hope that's true. It's nice to think that not all couples who separate will have a hate/hate relationship forever thereafter.

DJ Ashba

The following videos are from a musician named DJ Ashba. He is a great talent on the guitar. He has great vocals...I especially love his voice in Wonder:

DJ Ashba has played with SIXX A.M. with Nikki Sixx and is now playing with Guns 'n Roses. Here's more info on DJ.

Miley Cyrus' Tour Bus Crashes and Flips on Side

One of Miley Cyrus' tour buses crashed this morning in Virginia. The bus was carrying ten people with one fatality. The driver of the bus died.

The bus was coming from New York on its way to North Carolina, Miley's next concert. Miley was not on the bus that crashed.

Johnny Depp Sexiest Man Alive

People has just voted Johnny Depp the SEXIEST MAN ALIVE. He's getting his title back - he held it in 2003 as well.

Johnny Depp is now 46 years old (I didn't know that) and has two children. He's a fantastic actor.

Oh the pirate fantasies I'm sure he's been at the heart of over the years.

Oprah Winfrey No More

Imagine the gifts she'll give away her last season!

Shortest Hollywood Marriages: Give Back the Bridesmaid Gifts?

Do you know which celebrities have had the shortest Hollywood marriages? Here's a few:

1. Britney Spears and Jason Allen Alexander: I think we all remember this fiasco. It seemed the beginning of the downward roller coaster spiral she went on didn't it? It seems like she's been on a more even keel lately. I hope so anyway for her boys' sake.
2. Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney (yup, remember this one too).
3. Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas (We all know Drew but who's the guy?)
4. Lisa Marie Presley and Nicholas Cage: I really used to like him as an actor. Lately, I haven't been that impressed but he has something on screen...not sure what it is. I still like watching his earlier movies.

When marriages break up so fast, some within the same day, do the bridesmaid gifts have to go back too? No, of course not! Take the loot and run, ladies! They can afford it.

Leaked Video of Carmen Electra

Another celebrity and another leaked tape. This one is Carmen Electra and simulated sex with another woman. It's also possibly a publicity stunt. It'll bring her lots of online and media attention I'm sure.

Last week, I watched one of Carmen Electra's Striptease exercise DVD's looking for something fun to add into exercising. It was boring. I turned it off before it was even finished.

Now I haven't seen this leaked tape of Carmen (nor do I plan to look for it). There is always going to be a celebrity somewhere putting things on tape who should either know better (they always come out) or who do it on purpose for the sole intent that it does come out. I don't happen to care enough to go looking for it.

Janet Didn't Know Extent of Michael's Drug Use

John Kerry's Daughter Arrested

The daughter of Senator John Kerry, Alexandra Forbes Kerry, was arrested early this morning after violating a traffic law. They suspected alcohol and put her thru the field sobriety test but when they asked her to take a preliminary test right there, she wouldn't do it.

She did get one after arriving at the police station and she passed with a 0.06 (legal limit is 0.08). Perhaps refusing the test at the time on the road saved her from failing the test?

Should she be ashamed of herself, perhaps hide her shame behind women's sunglasses for awhile, or do you think she's proud she got off? They could have prosecuted her still if her driving had been way bad but it must not have been bad enough for them to have bothered. Alexandra is 36 - old enough to know better.

Rod Stewart Trying for 8th Child at Age 64

Rod Stewart recently announced he and his wife, Penny Lancaster Stewart, are trying to have a baby. At the age of 64 with seven kids already, he said an 8th child would be his last. I think I should get an invitation to the baby shower so I can check out the baby shower favors at a celebrity event! It'd probably make my car payment at least.

We all know Rod has the money but does he have the energy (and life span) to see the child grow up? I hope so.

I wonder if he serenades his wife with Hot Legs or Do You Think I'm Sexy? Maybe it depends on the mood he's going for.

Please no more baby shower invitations for Octo-Mom

Nadya Suleman (you might know her better as Octo-mom) was telling the former Miss South Carolina Teen USA 2007 about where babies come from! There's a YouTube video showing the interview and presentation. It was...weird.

Nadya went through a whole production of actually using chicken eggs, milk, and whatever else she squirted into the concoction to show her how IVF (in vitro fertilization) is done (yes, she also took out a turkey baster). I did mention it was weird right?

It looks like it was a part of some Jimmy Kimmel Live skit. I guess as long as they don't send out baby shower invitations for the skit. Nadya's done for real I hope.

Before you watch this, you might want to turn your volume down. Nadya's laugh is LOUD.

Rumors about Miley Cyrus Being Dead

What is it with people wanting to spread rumors like this about Miley Cyrus being dead? It would be horrible enough if this was a true story for not only her family but all her young fans and their parents who would have to explain death to their young, upset child just as it would for any family who lost a child. What a morbid rumor to spread.

High Speed Internet Satellite Connections on Fire Over CMA Awards

I'm hearing on the 'net that the CMA's this year were great. If the search engine traffic is anything to go by, what I'm hearing is true. The high speed internet satellite connections have been on fire!

Barbra Mandrell and Reba McEntire appeared on the show. I wish I'd seen that! I missed the show and several people I would have liked to see. My kids would have liked to see Carrie Underwood hosting the show (but they were grounded). I looked up who got what so if you're like me and missed them, here they are:


Entertainer of the Year: Taylor Swift
Album of the Year: Fearless, Taylor Swift
Male Vocalist of the Year: Brad Paisley
Female Vocalist of the Year: Taylor Swift

Kanye West is Not Dead

Kanye West is not dead people! It's all a rumor, started with the intent to lead you into spyware, malware, all-kinds-of-bad-stuff-for-your-computer-ware.

So no matter what your opinion is of the loudmouth, comments online happy about Kanye's supposed death are crude and uncalled for. Do something nice and calming for yourself - like create an indoor garden with some grow lights this winter, relax, and stop and smell the roses! Be happy! Don't be happy over another person's problems (even make believe ones like this).

Kanye may be rude, but he's not dead.

We Have Engagement News!

So, who's gotten engaged in the celeb-world lately? I'll tell ya!

• Penelope Cruz is engaged to Javier Bardem. They've been dating since 2007.
• Chris Noth (Sex and the City) is engaged to Tara Wilson. She's an actress.
• Remember Andrew Shue from Melrose Place (not the new one...the old one from years ago)? I always thought he was a cutie (and his sister, Elizabeth, is pretty too...good family genes.) He's engaged to Amy Robach (TODAY show).
• This is old news to most, but not me since it's the first I've heard of it. Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are engaged. They're both on HBO's True Blood. I don't have HBO so I'm going to have to rent the DVD's to check True Blood out.

Celebrities with Swine Flu

Not even celebrities, with all their glitter and glamour, are immune to viruses. Here are some of the celebrities who have been diagnosed with the swine flu (H1N1):

• Brian Littrell (from the band, Backstreet Boys) was diagnosed with it so the rest of his band and the crew on tour is getting Tamiflu to prevent the spread.
• Rupert Grint (Harry Potter actor)
• Marilyn Manson
• Dennis Hopper
• Sanjay Gupta

Now when a celebrity gets sick, I'm sure they don't have to wait in a waiting room like the rest of us, waiting to get in. They probably go in through a back door or have the doctor in the lab coat come to them.

Celebrities have been busy thinking about wedding bells. Here's the latest for celebrities who will be planning weddings and shopping for bridesmaid gifts:

• Christina Milian was married in Vegas this past weekend.
• Kevin Jonas had a bit of a problem choosing which of his brothers would be his best man. Rather than pick, he decided both of his Jonas Brothers band brothers would act as best man (or men).
• Uma Thurman is getting married next June.
• Tyra Banks is denying she's engaged. Only time will tell.

Kanye West is a Jerk at MTV VMAs

What a jackass.

Reports say there was an apology on his blog to Taylor Swift (Rolling Stone quoted it..was a half-ass apology in my opinion) but when I went to Kanye's blog, I couldn't find it. Was it moved? Removed? Maybe my eyes need to be checked but even people on his blog are wondering where it went so I don't think so. Maybe it'll reappear later.

Orange County

Orange County (California) is home to over three million people and it's attractions have been shown in countless movies and television shows like:

• The O.C. (that's a given eh?)
• Closing scene from Rain Man.
• Arrested Development
• A scene from Gilligan's Island was filmed there (the opening scene)...guess it really wasn't a deserted island eh?
• A scene from a Borat film.
• A scene from Kindergarten Cop.
• Scene from Fast and the Furious.

Celebrities who have lived in Orange County include Tiger Woods, John Wayne, Dennis Rodman, Gwen Stefani, Bonnie Raitt, Kevin Costner, Michelle Pfeiffer, and more.

Besides the celebrity appeal, it is home to several Fortune 500 companies, boasts well-known shopping districts, and is a huge tourist attraction. Computer services, like orange county computer services through Click Consulting, provide computer services to the area. It's not just known for its celebrity, businesses, and shopping though. Disneyland Resort is there!

Stars Are Shaving Their Heads

Ok, when Britney did it, it was the talk of the nation and in a negative way. Now celebrities are doing it as a fashion statement? Rihanna, Carmen Electra, Solange Knowles are a few of the well-known celebrities who have buzzed some parts of their heads.

I am not sure why though. If it's supposed to be the next new trend, I hope nobody is expecting me to get the clippers out. The only buzz cuts in this house are for my husband and my son. Do they think if they put on a cool pair of Sports Sunglasses, they'll look cool and fashionable? Unless the glasses are big enough to hide their heads, I don't think so! You have to have really good bone structure through your face, head, and neck to pull this one off.

Jon Gosselin Fired

That's the rumor anyway, but for now, it's just a rumor that he's being fired from Jon & Kate Plus 8. Some say he is trying to get fired from TLC on purpose so he can start another reality show. I wonder what that show would be?

Jon: How to exploit children, cheat, and date any female that will say "yes"?

That's kind of long. I'm sure he'll come up with something shorter. Apparently, the new show would be about divorced dads and involves 24/7 cameras. Big surprise there. Will those poor kids ever get out of sight from cameras? Poor things. I refused to watch Jon & Kate and I certainly won't watch any new one he, or she, does.

TLC should hand him some consolation gifts and let him out of Jon & Kate shows. It doesn't sound like he'll be hurting for something to do, or money, if they do. He should be able to afford to live the lifestyle he wants, off of his children, while the rest of us pinch pennies and work hard to provide necessities for our own families and raise our children responsibly. I don't think he'll be shopping for rooster dinnerware soon. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with a Playboy bunny on his plates in his new place. That's the impression I get of him. He seems more like a player than a regular person with children depending on him.

Organic Celebrities

We see a lot of celebrities jump on the train to promote a group like the environment or world hunger and how many of us wonder if they really care? How many celebrities really care? Which ones do it for the publicity and which ones do it because they feel they should?

Jorja Fox (CSI) did a public service announcement for the Union of Concerned Scientists for a healthier environment. Woody Harrelson and Sting want Bluefin Tuna taken off of sushi menus because they're nearing extinction. Reports are that Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, and Julia Roberts all prefer organic baby products. Do they go for all organic baby clothes or do they buy a few pieces only? Cindy Crawford used to make her own baby food!

It's hard to know what the reasons are, if they really care. I'd like to ask them myself if they do. I'm curious. Of course, it'd probably result in a canned sound bite that their publicist fed to them.

What's Napoleon Dynamite Up To?

I was wondering what Jon Heder (played Napoleon Dynamite in 2004) was up to so I looked him up. My stepdaughter loved the movie (and him). He was cool at the time (to her), but I didn't get the geek factor for a crush. That kind of comedy just didn't appeal to me.

He's grown up since then and I can see a little cuteness in there now. So, what's he been up to since he played the nerd that all pre-teens had a crush on back then?

Jon Heder is in several episodes of a television production called Woke Up Dead for 2009 and a 2010 production called Alive and Well. He seems to be doing okay.

I wonder if he'll hold any appeal now that he's not quite so geeky to the now teenaged crowd who crushed on him five years ago. He's come a ways from the nerd who looked like pocket protectors would be on his school supply list. Maybe somebody told him that amodex gets ink out so pocket protectors aren't necessary anymore?

Celebrity Sightings in Wax

I want to see the wax figures of the stars at Madame Tussauds Hollywood. Nicole Kidman is there, along with Robin Williams and Johnny Depp. I would love to see Johnny Depp. In fact, I'd like to bring his wax figure home with me. He's such a great actor! Jennifer Lopez and Salma Hayek have their images in wax as well.

If you like the old-time movie stars, James Dean, Clark Gable, and Audrey Hepburn can be viewed. Pop stars like Justin Timberlake, Shakira and Beyonce are there. Who wouldn't want to see Justin Timberlake, wax or not?

I wonder if the Diamond necklaces wax figures are real?

Katy Perry at Hollywood Palladium

Other shows lined up this year include Paramore on October 1st (they'd be fantastic to see in person I think) and Bob Dylan from October 13 - October 15, 2009.

The Hollywood Palladium is a huge venue, not to be confused with palladium jewelry like palladium rings, with a dance floor for up to 4,000 people. I can't even imagine the size of this place or the amount of fun energy expended. Sounds like a blast!

Celebrities Love Yellow Gold

Celebrities love their jewelry. It's popular to wear it on the red carpet - from tasteful to gaudy. Some celebrities do get a bit more gaudy than others.

Yellow gold jewelry, like Nelly's yellow gold necklace, was popular this last year. I'm surprised there's not a bit more bling on it with diamonds myself but it is definitely eye-catching. Yellow gold diamond necklaces offer the best of both worlds in my opinion! I am a diamond girl though. I have always been a diamond girl and will probably always be a diamond girl.

Timbaland Married

Did you ever notice that when celebrities get engaged or married, all the attention is on the ring on the woman's finger. In reality, the men may have some pretty snazzy wedding rings on as well.

For instance, Timbaland presented the mother of his baby with a 12-carat canary diamond ring when he asked her to marry him. They were together six years before this. There was no mention of his ring.

How come we always hear about the women's rings when celebrities get engaged or married but we never hear bout the mens rings? They always talk about the size of the women's rings. I want to see what the male half of the celebrity couple is wearing too!

I didn't even know the hugely talented Timbaland is a married man. A belated congratulations to them both!

Maura Tierney Needs Eight Weeks Off

Maura Tierney's new drama, Parenthood, is being pushed back to mid-season due to an "eight-week medical evaluation" that Maura needs. No details were given on what was wrong but eight weeks? Sounds like something major that they'll be treating or she'll be recovering from. It definitely sounds like she'll be surrounded by doctors in lab coats for sometime.

I wish her the best for whatever this is. It sounds like something major. I hope not. I really like her. She seems "normal" on a celebrity scale. You know "normal" doesn't seem to happen very often in Hollywood.

Michael Jackson: Innocent Until Proven Guilty

In the United States, we have a presumption of innocence (innocent until proven guilty). Michael Jackson was tried and acquitted by a jury in 2005 of the 14 counts against him. He was found not guilty and walked out a free man. Why is he still presumed guilty?

Rep. Peter King (New York) had this to say:

"He was a pervert, a child molestor; he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country?"



He was ACQUITTED by a jury! Who can prove without a reasonable doubt that Michael Jackson was guilty? Anybody? Not Peter King I would imagine. I find it funny that a politician has something so harshly critical to say when so many politicians have so many skeletons hanging in their closets, they probably need crowd control for all of them. If he can't respect a decision made in a court of law, a government institution, then perhaps he should give up his own government job.


The man is dead. He was a musical genius. If people want to celebrate the life of a man who was acquitted of charges, who brought them years of joy in his music, then let them! At a time when children are burying their father, I think critics should shut the heck up at least until he's at his final resting place. This man, no matter what your opinion of him, had children. If his daughter's speech at his memorial service is any indication, those children adored their daddy. Let them grieve for their father without having to worry about things adults should know better than to say in an arena where they could hear it. Would Peter King walk up to Michael Jackson's kids and say that? If not, shut your mouth.

I usually watch Fox News but I have to say that I am disappointed in their coverage last night on Hannity on this topic. The Federal Prosecutor they had on the show who was claiming he was guilty, despite being acquitted...I really have to question her legal education. It also makes me question Hannity's judgment as well, which is disappointing.

I hope despite the crucifying of Michael Jackson by the media and others, despite the acquittal, I hope he felt loved while he was alive.

Michael's Daughter, Paris, Speaks at Memorial

...and it made me cry.

Seeing a child deal with the grief over the loss of a parent she obviously loved brought me to tears. Whatever your opinion of Michael Jackson, Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson obviously adored her daddy.

"Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," she said, her tiny voice cracking. "And I just wanted to say I love him — so much."

Watching her struggle to say this and then throwing herself into her aunt's arms...we forget that behind all of the celebrity, these are just kids who have been protected as much as possible by their father from all the media frenzy. They're kids.

Celebrity Baby News

Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother) gave birth to a baby girl in May and she managed to keep it fairly quiet. Way to keep a secret! The baby's name is Shaelyn. What a pretty name.

Something else kept under wraps for a long time (in the world of celebrity that is) is that Tobey Maguire named their son Otis. He was also born in May.

Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live aka SNL) is expecting.

Gisele Bundchen is expecting.

Ferdinand Torres (soccer pro) and his wife are due to have their baby in a few weeks.

I'm wondering...do you think personalized baby gifts are popular with celebrities? Some of them come up with some really odd names!

Madonna Successfully Adopts Mercy

Madonna, once dripping in Diamond necklaces as the Material Girl, is now at home in England with her four-year-old newly adopted daughter, Mercy. A little more than a week ago, the court reversed a previous decision that denied Madonna the right to adopt this child. There is still controversy brewing over the adoption (and that of her son, David's adoption as well). There has always been controversy surrounding Madonna so this is just one more thing in a long line of controversies.

From her "Like a Virgin" song that struck terror in the hearts of some parents over the use of the word "virgin" in a song while writhing on the floor in a wedding dress, to her song "Like a Prayer" where she danced in front of a burning cross, to her "Papa Don't Preach" abortion controversy, to "Truth or Dare", to her banning on MTV due to "Justify My Love"...see, the controversies just go on and on.


I think controversy will always follow Madonna as she frequently re-invents herself to stay successful in the business. Will it affect her children as well?

The O.C. Celebrity Residents

Not all celebrities live in the Hollywood Hills though we that's where we tend to think of them making their homes for the most part. Let's take a look at another California hot spot (the O.C. aka Orange County) and see who lives there:

• Michelle Pfeiffer (I love her...ever since Grease 2)
• Bo Derrick
• Kelly McGillis (who recently came out of the closet)
• Jean-Claude Van Damme
• Bette Midler (scenes from her movie, Beaches, was filmed in the area as well)

With great surroundings, celebrities, and local businesses, the area is a beautiful place to visit if you can't afford to live there. If you are looking for publicity for your business, check out web site design orange county where Click Consulting can give you the web presence your business deserves. I'd love to see the beaches in Orange County and perhaps catch a glimpse of a celebrity.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 Announcement

There is supposed to be a big Jon and Kate announcement (Jon and Kate Plus 8) on Monday's episode. Speculation is that it is about a divorce. Given all the tabloids recently about the two of them, that'd be the easiest assumption.

What are they going to do, film a "Jon and Kate Plus 8 in two separate homes with custody, visitation, and child support" now? Can you imagine splitting up the household, dividing up toys, time, extra help, and having to buy extras for everything for two homes? Dad gets these children's clothes and mom gets these, dad gets these toys for his house and mom gets these, these pictures go to mom and these go to dad, these personalized baby gifts go to mom and the rest for dad, etc. Would the extra help just travel between the two homes? It's hard enough when you only have a couple kids but helping a family of children this size to adjust would be very difficult. It'd be neverending with all of those kids!

Maybe the announcement will be a reconciliation. The network would get more viewers if they turn this into a separation/divorce scenario though. They could probably get a few more years out of the show!

Celebrity Baby News This Past Week

There was all kinds of celebrity expecting news this past week...

• Alonzo Mourning (recently retired from the NBA) and his wife are expecting their third child.
• Jeffrey Tambor and his wife are expecting twins! Jeffrey is 64 and his wife is 41. Jeffrey has a new movie out right now - Hangover.
• Jennifer Hudson is due in August.
• Brandon Flowers (The Killers) and his wife are expecting their second child.
• Shannon Miller (Olympic Gymnast) and her husband are expecting their first child together.

Hollywood sure has been getting busy! Imagine the extravagant baby showers being held on the west coast. I'd like to be a fly on the wall to see how the other half lives - luxury, fine dining, and baby gifts galore!

I think personalized baby gifts are the best gifts to give and receive. Most other gifts are used and then passed onto other siblings or sold at garage sales (well, not in Hollywood but in my neighborhood). Personalized baby gifts are kept and treasured and then passed onto that child when they are adults. I have every personalized baby gift I ever received for my children put away to give them when they're older.

Chastity Bono's Sex Change

The daughter of Sonny and Cher, who came out of the closet 20 years ago, started the procedure for a sex change earlier this year. Reports are now referring to Chastity Bono as "he" instead of "she" and "Chaz" instead of "Chastity".

I've only met one person in real life who was in the middle of a sex change and that was a man changing into a woman. She dressed like a woman from the hair to the make-up to the jewelry (it's a little disconcerting seeing a person who obviously started as a man wearing white gold anklets but that's our problem, not hers right?).

Madonna Adoption Approved

Well, Madonna won't be shopping for any clothing for pregnancy but she is a momma again! Initially, the material girl had been denied when she wanted to adopt three-year-old, Mercy (I love that name). She took it to a higher court and a Malawi judge approved the adoption.

Madonna has three other children: Lourdes Maria, 11 ½, Rocco John, 7 ½, and David Banda, 2 ½. David was also adopted.

Madonna's adoptions have caused some controversy between those who think it is wonderful for her and the children and those who don't. There are those who believe the children should remain in their own country in a "culturally appropriate home environment." There are also those who believe that with all the children in the United States who sit waiting to be adopted, many never to be adopted, that celebrities and those who go outside the country should stay within their own borders when looking to adopt. Each side has a point.

Celebrities Who Spray Tan

How do you get that all-over healthy glow without the unhealthy risks of developing skin cancer? Spray Tanning! Celebrities are doing it. Here are a few:

• Mariah Carey (did you know you can fake definition with spray tanning?)
  
• Hilary Duff goes for a more natural spray tan.


• Lindsay Lohan has been photographed going overboard with the spray tanning.


• Paris Hilton


• Brooke Burke

In an industry where aging is a big deal, staying out of the sun certainly seems like the smartest (and healthiest) way to go if you want to keep the jobs and success coming your way.

Jada Pinkett Smith Wearing Lab Coats For Next Role

If you like Jada Pinkett Smith, or dramas about the medical field (perhaps you were a long-time ER fan), there is a new show premiering on TNT on June 16, 2009. It is called HawthoRNe. Jada Pinkett Smith's role involves women's lab coats, as she is a starring cast member in this medical drama, AND she gets a Producer chair as well as one of the Executive Producers of the show. This is a long way from her role in A Different World, which I used to watch back in the early 1990's.

There are ten episodes schedules thus far so if you want to catch Jada Pinkett Smith in her next television role, don't miss out.

Kristen Stewart Playing Joan Jett

I saw these pictures of Kristen Stewart and went, "Wow, she looks like Joan Jett." Then I read that she went black punk rock shag for a role - Joan Jett. Duh!

Joan Jett is fantastic! I hope Kristen plays the role well.

Howard Stern Forgoes Wedding Ring for Tattoo Instead

I was watching Rachael Ray the other day and the guest was the new Mrs. Howard Stern on (Beth Ostrosky, now known as Beth Stern). I hadn't seen the show before but considering they were married in 2008, it had to be a re-run. Did you know they'd been together for eight years before they married?

Beth showed the tattoo she had (and "H" on her wrist) and a picture was shown of the tattoo Howard had on his ring finger of a "B". Instead of shopping for mens wedding rings, Howard chose to get a tattoo with his wife's first initial instead. I guess she doesn't need to worry about whether he'll ever try to hide his wedding band since he can't exactly wash that tattoo off but I'd prefer the wedding ring myself.

Kelly Rutherford Gives Birth Without Dad

Kelly Rutherford (Gossip Girl) gave birth to her second child on Monday evening. Her estranged husband, Daniel Giersch, was not present for the birth of his second child. Her camp says they notified him and invited him to the hospital. His camp says they never notified him and claims he heard about his daughter's birth through the Internet. It's certainly not a good indicator of a respectful co-parenting relationship between the two yet. Hope it changes for them in the future.

By this time, Ms. Rutherford should be at home with a houseful of baby gift baskets. I hope dad has seen his baby girl and that they're able to work out a successful co-parenting relationship for the kids.

Thai Rath David Carradine Death Photo

I heard a paper in Thailand, Thai Rath, published a David Carradine death photo. What? Why would anybody do this?

I write several blogs but never would I publish a photo like that. A few weeks ago, there was a photo of a girl who'd died in a car accident published elsewhere that had everybody panting over seeing it. The reports were that some sicko had even sent it to this girl's family. I don't get that. I find in disgusting.

He died (for whatever reason, he's gone). Let the family get through their investigation and grieve in peace now.

David Carradine Passes Away - June 3, 2009

Rumors swirled when David Carradine was found dead in his hotel room...first it was suicide which was unbelievable according to those close to him, then accidental death (by auto-erotic asphyxiation) or murder. I'm thinking if the rumors are true, it is the second one which is a really sad way for a well-known, long-time actor to be remembered.

Reports are saying that he was not alone in his hotel room at the time of his death but who was with him has been withheld. True? Don't know.

According to Wikipedia:

"Erotic asphyxiation refers to intentionally cutting off oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal. It is also called asphyxiophilia, autoerotic asphyxia, scarfing, kotzwarraism, or breath control play. Colloquially, a person engaging in the activity is sometimes called a gasper. The erotic interest in asphyxiation is classified as a paraphilia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association. Psychiatrist Joseph Merlino stated that it meets the criteria for a disorder "because it has the potential for lethality or serious injury."

You might remember, Michael Hutchence, lead singer of INXS, was also rumored to have died this way.

My thoughts go out to David Carradine's family regardless of the final report on how he passed away. With over 100 feature films behind him, he should be remembered for his lifetime of work, not his last day.

Tori Spelling Poses Pregnant in Maternity Suit

Celebrities seemed to have cleared the way for wearing a swimsuit while pregnant. When I was pregnant, I never saw pregnant women in maternity suits. In fact, I never even took a picture of my bare pregnant belly! Now I see them everywhere posing in their proud pregnant state or just lifting their top for a quick picture to keep. I've watched my younger sisters post their baby bump pictures in a maternity suit on Facebook!


Take, for instance, Tori Spelling posing with the obvious baby bump in several different bikinis in magazines recently. She seems very proud of her maternal body, like a lot of other celebrities who choose to pose in a maternity swimsuit (or less if you are Demi Moore who paved the way for it years ago).

Joe Jonas Does "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)"

Oh. My. Gosh. I don't know what else to say. I'm speechless.

OK, I better talk a bit about it. I've seen this done by many different people since Beyonce released the video to her song, Single Ladies (Put a ring on it), but seeing Joe Jonas in heels and a bodysuit doing this song just made my jaw drop.

It's popular with my Joe Jonas loving daughter. She wants me to email it everywhere to show everybody. Maybe pre-teens and teenagers would like seeing Joe Jonas in a bodysuit but not me. I always thought he was a cute kid but I wouldn't have the guts to do something like this.

It is obviously a publicity stunt for their new CD (Lines, Vines and Trying Times) releasing on June 16th but wow! That video will NEVER disappear. Hope he never wants to run for office!

The View's Whoopi Goldberg Shows How Unprofessional She Is

Look at the first part of this video about .07 - .09 seconds into it...Whoopi just acts SO professional.

You don't invite guests onto the show and then act like that! I don't get this show anymore. I used to like watching The View.

The point of this is to show the very immature behavior on the part of Whoopi Goldberg, but you might want to watch all of it. Here's the first part of the video:

The Baby Boom in Hollywood

There is a lot of baby news in the celebrity world this week:

• Halle Berry was recently voted Hollywood's Sexiest Mom by Popeater. A few years ago, I would have thought it would be Angelina Jolie but she seems to have fallen out of favor with a lot of people and slipped into a tie for second. I think she's still beautiful myself.
• Tahlia Brookins (former contestant on America's Next Top Model) is pregnant.
• Of course, you've probably all heard that supermodel, Heidi Klum, is pregnant again. Internet reports say this will be her last child.
• Sarah Michelle Gellar (remember Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is pregnant with her first child.
• Nicole Richie is pregnant with her second child.
• There is a rumor that Jennifer Aniston is going to adopt a child. I definitely only see that as a rumor with little meat to it right now. There is always a rumor about Jennifer Aniston floating around, most of which don't come true. I'll believe this one when I actually see her with a child she's adopted.

It seems like everybody is pregnant but me. There definitely seems to be a bit of a baby boom going on in Hollywood right now with celebrities showing off baby bumps in fashionable maternity clothes. I sure wish trendy maternity clothes had been around 13 years ago when I started having babies.

Farrah Fawcett's Cancer

It's sad to hear the reports of Farrah Fawcett's battle with cancer. It's really not anymore sad than families around the world watching loved ones battle and waste away before their eyes though, it's just more public. Seeing that she's left the hospital and that her son with Ryan O'Neal, who is in jail, was allowed out to see her I have to think she's gone home to live the rest of her days without being hooked into a hospital and that those days are numbered unless a miracle happens. I could be wrong but it would be what I would do. I wouldn't want to spend my last days in a hospital. I'd want to be home.

Being that I am going in for my own biopsy on Monday, thoughts of cancer have been in the front of my mind recently as well.

Then I read that Wanda Sykes was openly gay. Wow. I must be living under a rock.

Kelly Clarkson Pregnant?

Rumor is that Kelly Clarkson is pregnant. I'm not sure why the rumor started after she performed on American Idol but we all know that the rags speculate about every female celebrity at one time or another if they wear something that doesn't flatter the abdominal area to their industry standards or have a little weight gain. Who knows. Only time will tell (unless she does first).

Janeane Garofalo Tea Party Opinion - What an Ass

Anybody who doesn't have the same opinion as Janeane Garofalo and chooses to exercise their rights are racists and red-neck? Give me a break. I don't agree with the huge debt that is being put on my children and future grandchildren by Obama and his Administration with all the bailouts and pork. I wasn't at any of the demonstrations but if there had been one locally, I might have been as is my right. I don't think that makes me a racist or a red-neck. I have free speech/expression and the freedom to peacefully assemble. I guess this actress has the same right to spew the hate she did and insult anybody who doesn't agree with Obama's moves so far but she just made herself look like a radical idiot in my personal opinion.

Ron Silver Dead at Age 62

Ron Silver, who has been fighting esophageal cancer for the last two years, passed away in his sleep early yesterday.

Once a Democrat like most of Hollywood, he became a "9/11 Republican" after the terrorist attacks on September 11th and re-registered as "Independent".

According to a Yahoo news report today: "In an interview with The Associated Press a month later, Silver said his support for the war on terror was costing him work in liberal-minded Hollywood."

I guess the freedoms that so many have fought and died for don't apply if you belong to the Hollywood set. If you don't agree with the very liberal minded Hollywood-ites, you have to take your toys and go home (and get blackballed from acting jobs?). Hmmm...that makes me wonder how many Hollywood-ites are actually left-leaning liberal or are just pretending to be in order to remain in the good graces of the powers that be. That's really a shame since their celebrity gets them the sound bites in the news that so many (too many?) people see and hear. Hopefully, Americans don't form their own political opinions based on the "far from reality" Hollywood-ites who aren't a part of mainstream America.

Celebrity News As of March 15, 2009

• Lindsay Lohan has a warrant out for her. Rumors are that it is for a DUI she had awhile ago.
• Rihanna is back with the man, Chris Brown, who beat her. Reports are that she smacked him first. Bad move. However, that doesn't give him the right to brutally assault her. What it does give him the right to do is WALK AWAY. Nickelodeon should be ashamed of themselves for not removing Chris Brown from their Kids' Choice Awards ballot. I expect better from a children's network and my children will not be watching.
• The boyfriend of the late Anna Nicole Smith, Howard K. Stern, has turned himself in. He is facing charges for apparently helping her drug addiction along. Anna Nicole has been dead for two years now. Three face charges but Howard K. Stern is being called by the Attorney General as the "principal enabler".
• Anne Heche's divorce is final.
• Melrose Place, the night time show that was a hit when I was younger, is being remade. I've heard Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (Jessica Simpson's sister) is joining the cast.

Police Report Read Out Loud for Rihanna & Chris Brown

I wonder what kind of career fallout these two will see. I will not buy anything from either of these two artists. Chris Brown for the obvious reason and Rihanna because I want strong role models for my girls, not celebrity women (who are role models for many girls unfortunately) who are beaten by their boyfriend and then go back to the man, refusing to testify against him.

Rihanna is not renewing the "no contact" order. She wants contact with Chris Brown now. CNN reported:

"Singer Rihanna, through her lawyer, asked a judge Thursday not to prohibit her boyfriend, singer Chris Brown, from having contact with her while he faces felony charges of assaulting her.

The judge granted Rihanna's request."

She was brutally beaten and she went back to him. Her self-esteem must be at rock bottom to do so. Goes to show that celebrity, money, and fame doesn't equal confidence or self-respect.

Celebrity News Today - March 2, 2009

Well, it seems as if the rumors about Rihanna and Chris Brown are true. They are back together, apparently staying at Sean Combs' (P. Diddy, Puff Daddy...etc. etc.) home with pics of Chris Brown enjoying himself on a jet ski. Whatever. A man does that to you what the police pictures show was done to Rihanna, you don't go back to the jackbutt. I won't be buying either one of their CD's for my kids...not good role models.

Miley Cyrus was seen jogging with her boyfriend, Justin Gaston, and E Online is making something scandalous over a picture in which part of Miley's bikini top was showing at the top of her shirt. They are calling it a "half-naked run." Stupid. A lot of men jog without shirts on and Miley is dressed. People run in jogging bras all the time and Miley is more covered than that. I'd be a lot more concerned about the age difference (no way would my daughter be allowed, at 16, to date a 20-year-old). This is Hollywood. They don't live in our reality.

The NFL players who have been missing have not been found yet. Nick Schuyler has been found west of Tampa Bay, however, he is just one out of a total of four men who were missing. He was found with the boat. The other three are still missing - Corey Smith (former Detroit Lions player), Marquis Cooper (Oakland Raiders), and Will Beakley. No word yet on what he has said about the other three missing. It's not looking good at all.

It is being reported that Ed McMahon has bone cancer and is in intensive care. He turns 86 on Friday.

Molly Ringwald is due to have twins in August. I still like to watch Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles.

Britney Spears hasn't sold out her concert in New Orleans as of this morning. I wonder if she expected to.

Rihanna and Chris Brown Back Together

I am shutting up now.

Brad Pitt Runs Stop Sign Per TMZ Who Chase Him Like Vultures

TMZ says Brad Pitt went thru a stop sign in Beverly Hills after leaving his manager's office. Hmm...I guess he is human after all. Haven't we all done that at one time or another? My husband rolls through them all the time and it irritates the hell out of me. When he gets a ticket, I am going to LMAO.

On a motorcycle especially, it certainly wasn't the smartest thing for Brad to do. I wouldn't want to be in an accident on a motorcycle. Are celebrities above the law? I don't think so. However, having paparazzi chasing me everywhere, like the one catching this video, probably had him distracted and attempting to just get away from the trash that run after him everywhere like parasites.

There should be rules about when the vultures can catch photos including not allowing them to do this when a vehicle is moving because not only do you put the celebrity at risk, you put other motorists at risk as well.

Here's the video:

Sexting Gets Christopher Atkinson of Celebrity Gunfight Arrested

Lead singer of Celebrity Gunfight, Christopher Atkinson, pled guilty for soliciting a minor for nude pictures. He's going to sit in jail for a year for it. Apparently, he met a 16-year-old at his concert and they contacted each other since then thru their cell phones. The pervert sent a nude pic of himself to the underage girl and she sent some of herself back.

If you don't know what "sexting" is...when teens send pics of themselves nude or partially nude of themselves from their cell phone as a text message, which is illegal. I wrote about sexting on my other blog almost a year ago. If you have a child who has a cell phone, you should familiarize yourself with this.

Is Chelsea Handler Posing For Playboy?

What's the deal with the rumors going around the Internet about my late night laugh, Chelsea Handler of Chelsea Lately, about posing for Playboy? Are they true? Did Hugh Hefner get her?

She seems like she has the body for it (though whoever picks out her clothes for her show needs to either be replaced or notch it up a bit). She sometimes looks awkward in the clothes she wears on her show.

I have no opinion either way on whether she does it or not. It's her body.

Chris Brown Assaults Rihanna?

If the rumors are true, that Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna, and that is the reason why neither were at the Grammys last night, what kind of wimpy ass man does that make Chris Brown for going after a woman? Is he too afraid to hit somebody more even with his male strength and has to go after a woman instead? Men who abuse women are wimps and cowards.

There are few things, as far as celebrity dirt is concerned, that I would harshly insult celebrities for because their silliness is just stupid in my opinion. They don't live in reality and their behavior, sometimes, reflects that. HOWEVER, assaulting a woman deserves every bit of insult that can possibly be flung.

Now, he is innocent until proven guilty. That being said, if he did assault Rihanna, or any woman for that matter, he's a loser. If true, I hope his CD sales tank and endorsement deals all fall through.

If he did this, Rihanna better dump his butt or I will never buy another one of her CD's again. I want a strong role model for my girls to listen to. Assuming it's true that is. You know how celebrity rumors fly about.

51st Annual Grammy Awards

The show started out with news that Chris Brown and Rihanna would not be showing up to perform tonight as scheduled. No excuse was given for Rihanna, however, news reports online claim that Chris Brown is being investigated for felony battery against a woman he was allegedly with last night. Perhaps that's why Rihanna isn't there tonight?

• Justin Timberlake with Keith Urban, Al Green & Boyz II Men

Jennifer Hudson Lip Syncs, Britney is Predictable, Joe Francis Needs Turbo Tax & Super Bowl Porn

Jennifer Hudson is out on the singing scene again, lip syncing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl XLIII. I guess it's expected nowadays that celebrities are lip syncing but I'd rather hear the real thing live.

Speaking of the Super Bowl, I heard some comcast viewers got a bit of porn with their football last night. 30 seconds of porn in the middle of a football game...guess that's one way to keep your attention if you get bored with football. The Super Bowl had 95.4 million viewers but only a portion of those, some comcast viewers, got the short little super bowl porn show.

I wrote about Britney Spears' "If You Seek Amy" song (or, its real meaning - F. *. C. K. Me...how ridiculous but Britney isn't exactly a stranger to ridiculous). Britney is casting for her video right now.

Joe Francis, of Girls Gone Wild fame, has a bench warrant out for him because he pulled a Britney. When you have a court date for tax evasion, ya better show! Perhaps he should get Turbo Tax. We use it every year and it works great!

Britney Spears' If You Seek Amy Song on Circus CD

Talk is that Britney Spears' "If You Seek Amy" is Britney's "not so clever" play on words. In other words, it is a way to say "F*ck Me" and get away with disguising explicit lyrics. What do you think?

Here are the lyrics:

"Love me hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to If You Seek Amy
Love me hate me
But can't you see what I see
All of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to If You Seek Amy"

Here is the meaning of the not so clever play on words:

But all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin to F U C K ME

IF=F
YOU=U
SEE=C
KA=K
MY=ME


If this doesn't break any explicit lyrics rules, it'll be played on the radio where a child can hear it. You know a majority of the kids are going to know what it is really saying...it'll be the talk at school. How do you feel about your child singing this song?
