DECEMBER 8th December 8, 1980 will go down in history as the day the world lost one of the most influential singer/songwriters it has ever known. On this day twenty-six years ago, John Lennon was shot and killed in front of his New York apartment building, The Dakota, as his wife Yoko Ono stood at his side. He was 40 years old. From close range, his murderer, Mark David Chapman, shot the former Beatle four times with a .38-caliber revolver. Although John Lennon...  Read More »

I’ve always been a bit of a morbid person – reading Emily Dickinson, writing depressing poems, reading about serial killers, etc. – so when I happened upon the Celebrity Morgue, I was intrigued. But now I don’t know how I feel about it. Perhaps I’m not as morbid as I thought. For those who don’t know, the Celebrity Morgue website has actual pictures of dead celebrities and other historical figures, including Marilyn Monroe, Edgar Allan Poe, and...  Read More »

Courtney Love, 42, is clean and sober now; one of the best decisions she’s made in her life of wrong ones. When referring to Britney Spears on the TV magazine show, Extra, Courtney said, “Say what you will about me, and I’m not passing judgment, but when I had my daughter, I stayed home with her almost every night for the first year of her life.” Ooh, burn! You know you’re doing something wrong when Courtney Love, of all people, can out parent you. I’m...  Read More »

I don’t know about you, but I was really thrown for a loop when I found out that Eddie Murphy and Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown were a couple. Then news came that they were expecting a child together. Now it’s being reported that they are no longer an item, and what’s more, Eddie Murphy, 45, is dropping hints that the baby Mel B is supposedly carrying is not his. I say supposedly because Melanie, 31, has not actually confirmed that she is pregnant. In...  Read More »

Quoting an unnamed source, The Washington Post is reporting that Vice President Dick Cheney’s openly gay daughter, Mary Cheney, 37, is pregnant, and that she and her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe, 45, are “ecstatic” about the new arrival due in late spring. The same source also said that the circumstances of the pregnancy (i.e. conception) would be kept private. Mary and Heather’s baby will not be the first grandchild for the Vice President and his...  Read More »

PEOPLE magazine is reporting that Jennifer Aniston, 37, and Vince Vaughn, 36, have officially broken up. Which implies that it was actually a real relationship, and not just a publicity stunt. Rumors have followed the pair since they were first pictured together in Chicago while filming The Breakup in the summer of 2005 — everything from having a fake relationship, to breaking up, to even being engaged. In an exclusive conversation, Stephen Huvane and...  Read More »

First of all, I didn’t know that Jay-Z is closer to 40 than to 30 – in fact, he turned 37 this past Monday (12/4). I did, however, know that Beyonce Knowles just turned 25 (9/4). That’s a twelve-year difference. Jay-Z was in the 7th grade when Beyonce was born. I don’t have a problem with the age difference, it’s just fun to think about what trouble Jay-Z was getting into as a 12 year old boy while Beyonce was spitting up and having her diapers changed. Beyonce...  Read More »

George Clooney, 45, has made it pretty clear that he has no plans to ever marry, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to have a long-term relationship. For the past 18 years he has given his heart to Max, his 300-pound potbellied pig, who he gained full custody of after his breakup with Kelly Preston (who is now married to John Travolta). This past Friday (12/1), while George Clooney was out of town promoting his new film The Good German, Max passed...  Read More »

In Hollywood’s superficial world of beauty, it’s refreshing to see a movie or TV character that isn’t the normal “pretty.” But, it’s still Hollywood, so even the ugly are an attractive ugly, and are usually played by an actor who is quite good looking in real life. Below are pictures of television characters and their more attractive real life counterparts. Would the characters be as funny if an unattractive actor portrayed them? Would the public...  Read More »

When I look at this picture, only one word runs through my mind……belt. I suppose if you are a collector and admirer of butt crack pictures, this one will make your day. Maybe even your week. Enjoy! A belt is a flexible band, typically made of leather or heavy cloth, and worn around the waist. A belt supports trousers or other articles of clothing, and it serves for style and decoration. Belts have been documented both for male and female clothing...  Read More »

Have you ever known people, or a couple, that – try as you might – you just couldn’t hate? Most recently, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are the ones at the top of my list. I can’t really put my finger on why they bug me – they just do. I’m sure that it has something to do with the fact that Tom Cruise brainwashed Katie Holmes and impregnated her with his alien spawn. Or the fact that Tom Cruise doesn’t believe that the human brain can have a chemical...  Read More »

Britney Spears turned 25 years old over the weekend. To celebrate the occasion, she did something she hasn’t done in a while – she actually wore underwear. After days of flashing her waxed naughty parts to the world, Britney Spears came to her senses (sort of) and bought thousands of dollars worth of underwear. And to prove it, she did a little dance. Happy Birthday Britney Spears! May you grow wiser with each passing year. Lord knows you can’t...  Read More »

Although his rep says that Keith Urban, 39, is “still undergoing treatment,” the country singer is out of rehab. He and his wife of only five months, actress Nicole Kidman, 39, enjoyed Sunday brunch yesterday at the Polo Lounge in Los Angeles. It was the first time they had been seen together since November 12th, when they were photographed strolling the grounds of the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs.

As most everyone knows, Heidi Klum, 33, and Seal, 43, welcomed an 8 lb, 11 oz boy into the world on Wednesday, November 22nd, naming him Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel. He joins his 1-year-old brother, Henry Guenther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, and 2–year-old sister, Leni (from Heidi’s relationship with Flavio Briatore). Seal shared the news via his website, saying, “To our children, a brother. To our parents, a grandson. To my wife and I, a son. To our family,...  Read More »

This past season on Prison Break, Lane Garrison’s character “Tweener” met an awful fate when Special Agent Alexander Mahone (played by Willliam Fichtner) shot him in the head. In Beverly Hills this past Saturday (12/2), Lane Garrison, 26, almost went the way of “Tweener” when the SUV he was riding in jumped a curb and hit a tree just before midnight. Although the actor received only minor injuries, the two 15-year-old girls in the car were both injured...  Read More »

According to her publicist, Leslie Sloane, Lindsay Lohan is indeed attending AA meetings, “She started attending some, and I think it’s a positive thing.” Quick to add, “She’s not saying … she’ll stop drinking tomorrow,” Leslie Sloane goes on to say, “It’s a place to go and feel safe…No one judges her, and it’s going to be a slow process. But, to me, the fact that she’s seeing that there’s something...  Read More »

With all the time I spend perusing the internet, I can’t help but notice the blinding similarities between the moral vacuum we call Hollywood and the soul destroying institution we call High School. Aside from the fact that they are arenas of rampant sex and full of self-esteem vampires, both places seem to have a different type of oxygen than the rest of the world. An air that makes the ludicrous seem logical and the vapid seem stimulating. Bowling for...  Read More »

Seven guys, who have been hunting together for 25 years, go into the woods to hunt deer. Somewhere in a cattail slough they see one with a 4-by-4 rack. One guy takes a single shot and the deer drops. He thought he got a nice buck. He was wrong. Sort of. “It’s got no male utilities,” says the shooter Carmen Erickson, “it has teats…it was pretty unusual.” He called the state Game and Fish Department and later received a message from a biologist saying...  Read More »
