Just when I thought nothing in Hollywood could shock me, Mackenzie Phillips drops a bombshell. The 49-year-old troubled actress appears on Oprah Wednesday to promote her new autobiography, High on Arrival, and took the opportunity to reveal that her dad, John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas shot her up with heroin for the first time, and forced a sexual relationship upon her which lasted for years. ….. she was already a star playing a boy-crazy teen on the TV sitcom One Day at a Time when her father had sex with her on the night before she was to marry Jeff Sessler, a member... 

Let me start by saying there is not a wedding in the works, however should there be one, I want naked sushi at the reception. Friday night my boyfriend and I went to a San Francisco sushi event benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training, and I lost my naked sushi virginity. It was a very good time. The event was held at Shima Sushi located in the Opera Plaza, at 601 Van Ness Ave. in San Francisco. Upon arrival we were escorted to a small room off to the side of the main restaurant where we sat in a little corner booth and had a drink. I had red... 

On this day in 1986, Michael Jackson’s 3D movie “Captain EO” premiered at Disney theme parks. The 17-minute film was directed by Frances Ford Coppola, executive produced by George Lucas, and starred Michael Jackson as Captain EO. Captain EO and his ragtag crew are on a mission to deliver a gift to the wicked alien leader Witch Queen, played by Anjelica Huston, on her planet of rotting, twisted metal and steaming vents. Captain EO’s alien crew consists of his small flying sidekick Fuzzball, the double-headed navigator and pilot Idee and Odee, robotic security... 

I’ve been sitting here for quite some time, trying to decide what to write about; my mind seems to be on pause, however, so thinking is proving to be difficult. For those keeping track, yes it’s Thursday and yes Thursdays are date nights. But this week date night is Friday because we’re going to Naked Sushi Night! Woot! Woot! I’ve always wanted to eat sushi off a naked chick, so I’m pretty stoked. Hopefully I’ll be allowed to take pictures so I can share all the fun with you. I’m also really excited about the launch of my step-dad’s new site Roger Morgan Art...

Mary Travers, one third of the 1960s folk group Peter, Paul and Mary, lost her battle with leukemia Wednesday night in Connecticut; she was 72. With songs like “If I Had a Hammer,” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” and “Blowin’ in the Wind,” Peter, Paul and Mary were the harmonious voice of the 1960s peace movement. Ms. Travers brought a powerful voice and an unfeigned urgency to music that resonated with mainstream listeners. With her straight blond hair and willowy figure and two bearded guitar players by her side, she looked exactly like what she was, a Greenwich... 

If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard, Kanye West made a total ass of himself Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards when he jumped on stage while Taylor Swift was giving her acceptance speech and basically usurped her moment in the spotlight.

Sad, sad news to report. After a public and painful battle with pancreatic cancer, actor Patrick Swayze has died. His publicist Annett Wolf confirms that the 57-year-old Dirty Dancing star died Monday surrounded by family. I’ve always felt a connection to Patrick Swayze because we share a birthday; this is especially sad for me. Image Source Last spring Patrick Swayze announced he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but he continued to work as he went through treatment. He starred on the A&E drama The Beast, and told fans he and his wife were working on a memoir. …the... 

Celebrity deaths come in threes….. First it was Dominic Dunn then Army Archerd, and now it’s Larry Gelbart. Three Hollywood writing legends sent to Heaven in the last three weeks. Dominic Dunn died on August 26, 2009 at the age of 83 from bladder cancer. Army Archerd died on September 8, 2009 at the age of 87 from mesothelioma.

Hey, if I ever come to you and I’m all, “I’m thinking of going to Turkey to be on a reality show,” you can punch me. Ok, well don’t literally punch me – just remind me of this story. Nine women were rescued from the villa in Riva, a summer resort on the outskirts of Istanbul, Turkey on Monday after the military police raided the place. According to a spokesman, the women had been held captive there for around two months. Details of exactly what happened are slowly emerging, and of course there are two sides to every story. On one side are the women and their families,... 

Holy crapola. How did this story go by fairly unnoticed? Steve Nunn, former GOP lawmaker, was arrested on Friday and charged with violating a protective order keeping him away from ex-girlfriend Amanda Ross after she was found shot to death in downtown Lexington, KY. According to reports Ross, 29, was shot and killed at 6:36 a.m. Friday, September 11th; her death is being investigated as a homicide.

On September 11, 2001 America – and the world – changed forever. Never ever forget. Image Source Nation Marks 8 Years Since 9/11 Attacks Memorials in New York, at the Pentagon and at the crash site of United Airlines Flight 93 in Pennsylvania all took place under gray skies, and those reading names at ground zero spoke under tents to protect against rain. Eight years after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the nation paused Friday to remember. “This is not rain, this is tears,” said a father who lost his son, as he stood under sodden New York skies.

Did you read what happened last night? Pretty funny, huh? Here’s a little update. This morning I heard what sounded like the moving of empty garbage cans so I went to my bedroom window to investigate. I watch as a woman moves my can away from the curb and back up to her garage. This woman, by the way, I think I’ve seen once before but I’m not really sure; but the car that was in the driveway was one of the three I’ve seen. As she’s moving my can, it sort of looks like she’s looking around at the other cans on the curb, but she fails to notice the two cans in front... 

Oh hell no!! Hilary’s new neighbors need to recognize! Thursday is garbage cans on the curb night, with recycling going out every other week. As I drove up to my house tonight after date night, I noticed a garbage can and a recycling can in front of my house. How nice of my cute neighbor with Barkly the Dog to have put my cans out, I thought. Uh…..yeah, I was wrong! I pulled into my driveway and realized that my cans were still in front of my garage where I keep them. Then I looked over towards my new neighbors’ place and saw that their cans were not there. Oh. Hell. No. Not... 

Hm, you know, I totally did not see this one coming. Starting January 2010, Ellen DeGeneres will be the fourth judge on “American Idol,” filling the seat left empty by Paula Abdul’s interesting departure. Ellen made the historic announcement today on her daily talk show. I guess the whole thing was really top secret ‘cause not even people in Ellen’s inner circle knew. You can really see in her face how excited she is to be joining “American Idol.” It’ll be fun to watch her interactions with Simon. …..DeGeneres will join Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara... 

Oh man, is it just me, or is the first day back at work after a long weekend just torturous? Speaking of torture, Jon Gosselin was on Good Morning America today talking about how his life with Kate Gosselin was almost worse than death. “Our relationship will never be fixed… I don’t trust her anymore. I was abused … I was beaten down … I’m not going back to that life style.” “In 10 years, I’ve never gone out … When she said, ‘I don’t want you going out,’ I … I used to say, ‘OK, I’m not going to go out.’ I was very passive. This is the first time... 

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Social Media and Networking is taking over the world. And for good reason – you can reach far more people on a network like Facebook or Twitter than you ever could with normal snail mail marketing. Gone are the days of mailing newsletters and postcards – online marking through Social Media and Networking is here and it cannot be ignored. Running your own business keeps you very busy and often you just don’t have the time it takes to really use Social Media outlets like Facebook to their fullest potential. You may be asking yourself... 

In September 2007 Paris Hilton sued Hallmark Cards Inc for $500,000 because they made a greeting card that stole her trademark line, “That’s hot.” For some crazy reason it has taken two full years for an appeals court just to make a decision on whether or not Paris Hilton may proceed with her lawsuit. Take a gander at the Paris Hilton Hallmark Card in question: Image Source The envelope please….. The courts have taken Paris Hilton’s side. The 9th U.S. District Court of Appeals on Monday upheld a lower court’s ruling allowing the bulk of Hilton’s lawsuit. Hallmark... 

I honestly don’t even know why I’m writing about these dolts. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. But these two little stories were just so asinine that I had to share them. First up, Spencer Pratt has decided to legally change his name. No, he’s not taking the Jay Mohr-Cox route and taking his wife Heidi’s last name. Nope, he’s doing one better than that. Spencer Pratt is legally changing his name to King Spencer Pratt. This is obviously another shameless publicity stunt, and I’m a bit annoyed I’m playing into it by... 

Really? 19 kids? I mean, how does that even stay in anymore? Seriously. But alas, it’s true. The Duggars are expecting baby number 19. Ho-ly crap. I don’t know – 19 kids isn’t my choice, but I guess more power to ‘em. The Duggars don’t ask for public assistance, so I guess don’t care how many times they reproduce. Pop one out every year for all I care – as long as taxpayers don’t have to foot the bill. I suppose the TLC show helps make ends meet, too. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar from Tonitown, Arkansas have 18 children already, with their first grandchild now...
