John Travolta/Kelly Preston Extortion Plot Uncovered; Charge Filed

There were three suspects in an alleged Travolta/Preston extortion plot to the tune of $20 million that has to do with his son, Jett's, death. How sick are people to do this to a family in mourning? People disgust me.

For my views on the media concerning the death of Jett, check it out here.

Michelle Obama's Flat Shoes

Everybody is making such a big deal over the "fashion" of Michelle Obama. Sorry but I could care less about her clothes, where they came from or how much they cost. Every time I turn on the television, the media is gushing over it so I turn the station. It's just not high on my list of priorities.

Yesterday, it was all about her flat shoes. They showed her standing next to President Obama while he shook hands with somebody. The media was guessing that she wore flat shoes because she must've had sore feet from the green Jimmy Choo shoes she wore in the days before.

My guess? She wore flat shoes because it put her at just about the same height as her husband, maybe a tad slightly shorter, for that photo op. She comes across as a bit dominant, to me, and my guess is they don't want her photographed (in the beginning) as taller or to be portrayed as the more dominant of the couple, the more powerful of the couple, as he is introduced to other politicians around the world.

That was my feeling about it when I saw the picture the media showed yesterday. She looked more subdued and not so "in your face" in the picture. Sore feet? Give me a break. Women everywhere walk all day long in heels higher than those Jimmy Choo shoes she had on.

This is the only picture I could find of those flat shoes everybody was gushing over yesterday.

Patrick Swayze Cancer & Life Update

As of right now, Patrick Swayze is home after pneumonia put him into the hospital thankfully. He is battling Pancreatic Cancer, has outlived the predictions he was given when first diagnosed, and is writing his memoirs. To hear that he is writing his memoirs is sad. He's only 56. He shouldn't need to write those for another decade or so, right?

I loved him in Dirty Dancing. Loved him again in Road House. Loved him in Ghost. Still love him today. You can catch his new series, The Beast on A&E.

I hope he fights the good fight and stays as healthy as he can for as long as he can.

Oscar Nominations

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button received 13 nominations. Way to go Brad! They won't be competing against The Dark Knight for best-picture award (though they were nominated in seven other categories). Heath Ledger was nominated as a supporting actor for The Dark Knight...one year to the day from his death. That was a sad day. I have not seen The Dark Knight. I think it would be to sad to watch for me.

Angelina Jolie was nominated for best-actress for Changeling. I have not seen the movie yet. I can't wait to rent it. I think it is going to be really good. I love Angelina Jolie moves to begin with but this one, from the previews, seems to hit the heartstrings. She goes up against Kate Winslet, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Melissa Leo.

For more information on the Oscar nominations, check them out at Oscar. Don't forget to catch the Oscars on February 22, 2009.

Sleep with Brad for Angelina?

There was a survey on the radio this morning about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Apparently, men were asked if Angelina Jolie said they could have sex with her if they had sex with Brad Pitt first, would the man do it. The talk on the radio was that the percentage would be in the single digits. Wrong! 19% of men said they would have sex with Brad Pitt first if it meant they could have Angelina next. I wasn't surprised by the percentage and wondered if it was a little low actually.

Perhaps they should have asked "pre-kids" because it seems that even more (let's face it...she's still hot) men lusted after her "pre-kids" (when her personality seemed a bit more dark and edgy than it is now). I think she's beautiful either way but I know my husband's opinion changed after she settled down. He liked edgy Angelina.

Hell, I know a few women who wouldn't mind sleeping with both too, lol. Perhaps they should survey women next time.

A lot of people don't, but I actually like them as a couple. They seem like decent people.
