One of the lights of the earth, Farrah Fawcett, passed away.
Long remembered for her enigmatic pose on a popular poster in 1976, Farrah was also known for her role in “Charlie’s Angels.”
She recieved an Emmy nomination for her role in the “Burning Bed.”
She made more money on the poster royalties than she earned her entire time as a Charlie’s Angels.
Goodbye Farrah!
We are forever in your debt.
Unexpectedly, Michael Jackson left us for a better place. The “King of Pop” passed away at the young age of fifty.
Michael was a genius. I wonder what he would have been able to create if he lived for another 30 years.
It was a sad loss for the people who follow him. His family has to be devastated by his loss.
Like Elvis he lost his life too early by abusing prescription drugs.
The press is now reporting that Michael took a laundry list of powerful drugs. And that drug interactions could be a factor.
It’s too bad nobody around him could talk some sense into him about prescription drugs.
Hopefully, Michael will be long remembered for the good things he did in life rather than for his transgretions.
As Shakespeare put it “The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones.”
Let’s hope that’s not the case with Michael.
He wanted to change:
‘Im starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I’m asking him to change his ways
Michaels message to the tabloids:
“You say it’s not a sin
But with your pen you torture men”
Goodbye Michael and fare thee well.
May your tortured soul finally find some peace.
Your fans,
Here’s hoping that Barack Obama is successful as president of the United States,
Let’s hope he’s successful in lowering taxes for all Americans.
Let’s Hope he can reduce the size of government.
Let’s hope he can end the policies that forced banks to loan money to people who couldn’t pay it back.
And finally let’s hope he can protect America from terrorism. There hasn’t been an attack on American soil since 9/11. Let’s hope he can keep that streak going.
Good Luck Barack!
How The Hollywood Machine Creates Monsters!
OK, what do Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Kirsten Dunst and Drew Barrymore have in common? If you said that they were all child stars you would be right. If you said they all have made multiple trips to rehab you would also be correct.
Why do these kids who seemingly have everything going for them have such a hard time as adults? Well, I’m not a psychologist nor do I play one on TV, but here are my opinions.
My Stage Mom is Better Than Your Stage Mom!
Parents… that’s right the “stage moms” and “stage dads” who relentlessly push their kids toward “stardom.” Some are living vicariously through their children by fulfilling their own failed dreams. Some have dollar signs in their eyes. And some actually believe that they are doing what’s best for their children by assuring their financial and career success.
What they are forgetting is that everyone needs to have a childhood. And a child shouldn’t have the pressures of adulthood forced on them. Look what happened to Michael Jackson when he was robbed of his childhood. He went from a cute child star to a creepy adult (whatever he is.)
The Burdens of Celebrity
Hollywood is also to blame. They are so caught up in the money machine that they fail to see the impact they’re having on these kids lives. Imagine the immense pressure that the child star is under. They are responsible for the success of a multi-million dollar film and the careers of the cast, crew, directors, producers and 100’s of others depending on income from the movie or music video.
Now think about your own childhood. Did your parents put you to work to pay the family bills at age three? Or did you get to actually be childlike and not worry about the livelihoods of people you didn’t even know? I’m guessing that most of us didn’t have those kind of worries at a young age. Is it any wonder that many child stars have issues?
Please Don’t Shoot My Dog!
In his autobiography, child star, Jackie Cooper (Our Gang) recounts how director Norman Taurog threatened to shoot his real life dog if he didn’t cry convincingly for “Skippy”, his fallen dog in the movie of the same name. Is this how you motivate a nine year old?
Life In The Fast Lane
And finally you have the Hollywood lifestyle contributing to the downfall of so many young celebs. Sex, drugs and alcohol are readily available even to way underage stars. Reportedly Drew Barrymore snorted coke when she was eleven. God knows when Brit, Lyndsay and Kirsten started their bad habits.
The question is who supplied these children with drugs and booze. How was Drew Barrymore let into an adult nightclub (Studio 54) at age nine and publicly served alcohol? Where were her parents, agents and studio execs when this was happening? Where were all the adults who so greedily sought her money when she needed them the most?
The Road To Wellville
Thank goodness that Drew was able to beat her demons and has been sober for years. Let’s hope that the others on a destructive path can do the same. It would be a shame to have another tragedy befall them like the untimely death of River Phoenix.
That’s just how I feel.
If you don’t agree lets hear your argument.
Tom Miller
Why are so many of the current slate of child stars turning into basket cases? Is it the negative influence of Hollywood? Could it be the availability of alcohol, drugs and sex? Can becoming famous actually be hurting these child celebs.
Britney Spears must be vying for the title of “Worlds Worst Celebrity Driver.” The “Toxic” star hit the gas instead of the brakes at a Hollywood red light. Her white “benz” smacked into a red Ford Explorer causing little damage to the car but extreme damage to Britney’s driving reputation.
Thank goodness the “Pop Tart” had her bodyguard with her to handle the accident details with the victim of the crash. The bodyguard promptly drove Britney home from the accident.
Which begs the question, why don’t Britney, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie use their millions and hire drivers to take them around to the clubs? How much trouble do they have to get into until they spend a few bucks on a driver?
Can’t they spare some change to make the road safer for themselves and the rest of us? Maybe Britney should ask one of the paparazzi to take the wheel. They make so much money off “Brit” that they wouldn’t dare let her get hurt.

The Wisdom of the Cottage Wives
Fifteen year-old Miley Cyrus has posed nude for Vanity Fair Magazine. The photo’s shot by Annie Leibovitz are provocatively posed in an adult fashion. Miley is nude with a sheet covering her naughty parts.
The teenager’s family members were reportedly present at the shoot. There is some question as to who had the final approval of the pictures that ran in the magazine.
Miley has apologized to her fans for the pictures and says she is embarrassed by them. This controversy comes at the heels of an Internet posting of amateur pictures in which the teen also posed in a sexually flirtatious manner. In one photo she pulls down her top to reveal a green lace bra.
Here we go again with a child star being exploited in a sexual manner. Don’t get me wrong the pictures of Miley are not in any way illegal. In fact there will be some who will call them “tasteful.” Well they would be more “tasteful” if Miley was eighteen instead of fifteen. And is there any doubt that Vanity Fair ran the pictures to boost the sales of their magazine?
As a society do we need to discuss what impact “sexualizing” our little girls will have on them (and their fans) down the road. Yes, young people want to act “grownup.” But there are other ways to act mature without taking your clothes off.
We have seen the result of putting children in adult situations like this. One only has to look at Brooke Shields. At twelve years old she appeared nude in “Pretty Baby.” The film featured her in a full frontal nude scene and later in a scene where she is prostituted to a much older man to lose her virginity.
When Brooke was fifteen, nude pictures of her taken at the age of ten surfaced. Those pictures were later deemed as “art” in a court of law. Despite all of this Brooke has grown up to be an intelligent and decent woman. But what about her then young fans? And isn’t her career still suffering from these controversies.
You can go down the list of recent young stars who became “sex symbols” at a tender age - Britney Spears, Christina Aguilara, Jamie Lynn Spears, Lindsey Lohan etc. Judge for yourself which of these women have issues related to their early “sexploitation.”
Our advice to Miley is to enjoy being a teenager. You will have plenty of time to explore your sexy side when you are eighteen. In the meantime just don’t do it in public.
Look, I don’t know what happened here but the old “scam o” detector is going off. On the one hand Jessica Gibson doesn’t seem very believable. She giggled and laughed during her interview on TV regarding her allegations that Lowe molested her but she didn’t explain what allegedly happened. She left the Lowe’s employ twice and returned twice. She reportedly sent them two E-mails assuring the couple that she loved them and that her decision had nothing to do with them.
On the other hand Lowe has not had a sterling reputation when it comes to sexual matters and this is coming back to haunt him. Also Lowe filed suit against THREE former employees so the law of large numbers works against him.
While Gloria Aldred loves to see herself on TV, has she really ever won a high profile case? Just her being involved in the case is reason enough for many to disbelieve the allegations.
What do you think?
What would it take for you to believe the charges are true?
What evidence do you need to see to believe Rob Lowe?
This is going to be fun!
It’s seems like a lifetime ago when you first came to our attention. That young school girl pose on your first album was so sweet and innocent. We wanted you to be the image that the media fed to us. It wasn’t fair to expect you to live up to the myth but we offered in exchange our money for your albums and the products you endorsed.
To say you grew up in the public eye is like saying the sun is hot. Your every move was broadcast to us in a never ending stream of media adulation. Your life was photographed, filmed and recorded for all to see.
It’s hard to imagine how the unrelenting focus of the media spotlight affected your psyche. Your celebrity was a double edged sword. On the one hand it propelled you to stardom. On the other hand it stole from you the very essence of your soul.
As you grew up you began to rebel against the very persona you created. You told us unequivicably that you were “not that innocent.” Why did it bother you so much that your fans wanted you to be innocent? Why did you feel compelled to prove us wrong? And boy did you prove us wrong!
It wasn’t your sexy performances that changed our minds. It was your very public actions that at first tintillated us but then made us scratch our heads in wonder. When it got to the point that Kevin Federline was looking like “father of the year” we bagan to reel back in horror.
It wasn’t funny anymore. This was a serious problem. It seemed that no one around you loved you enough to tell you the hard truth. Those who dared were soon sent away. You were spirialing out of control.
For once the court system worked for you and appointed your dad as your conservator. Since then your life has seemed to turn around and is going in the right direction.
Your fans are with you in your fight to beat the alcohol and drug demons. We want you to get shared custody of your children so you can enjoy them and they can have their mother back. It’s pretty apparent that the fame and money did not bring you happiness. Nor did the partying and nightlife give you what you need.
We are still your fans and wish you happiness and a good life. Take care of yourself first and then if you still want to sing and dance we are there for you.
Good luck and be well.
Your loyal fans!
Artie Lange was involved in a violent disagreement with his personal assistant which ultimately lead to his storming out of the show and resigning. Lange, who has been a regular on the show for over seven years has had other outbursts in the past.
Stern said on the air that he was “flabbergasted” by the outburst and went on to say: “That was crazy what I just saw. I don’t understand it. I don’t approve of it and I don’t know what I’m going to do about it.”
Shortly thereafter Lange offered his resignation and Stern accepted it.
Lange has had problems with drug and alcohol in the past and recently left the show to “dry out” only to return after a short absence.
