Farrah Fawcett & Michael Jackson Died Today

Farrah Fawcett has died from cancer. She was 62.

Michael Jackson also passed away today. Initial reports say it was cardiac arrest. He was 50.

I heard a rumor that Jeff Goldblum also passed away today but I can't verify that anywhere. So far, it is just a rumor.

Farrah Fawcett

There was a news report tonight that Farah Fawcett is in Intensive Care with her family around her. The report sounded like she would pass away very soon.

Cancer sucks. There are always rumors that there is a cure for cancer but they (who "they" is I'm not sure) won't tell because the pharmaceutical companies make a lot of money off of cancer victims. What do you think?

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!

I want that video for my blog!

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!
