Farrah Fawcett’s fellow Angels paid tribute yesterday by speaking about her passing.
Kate Jackson:
“I will miss Farrah every day. She was a selfless person who loved her family and friends with all her heart, and what a big heart it was. Farrah showed immense courage and grace throughout her illness and was an inspiration to those around her. When I think of Farrah, I will remember her kindness, her cutting, dry wit and, of course, her beautiful smile.”
Jaclyn Smith:
“Farrah had courage. she had strength, and she had faith. And now she has peace as she rests with the real angels.”
Cheryl Ladd:
“She was incredibly brave, and God will be welcoming her with open arms.”
Finally, from Charlie:
“Though I did not know her well, Farrah left an indelible mark on me and the public during her one-year reign on Charlie’s Angels. She put up a gallant fight against her unforgiving disease and I send my deepest sympathy and prayers to her family and friends.”

Bret Michaels really had me feeling badly for him, of course, after all of the laughter subsided. The poor guy performed at the Tony Awards and was unaware that a stage prop was descending onto his head. Thus, the singer got clipped in the face, and suffered a fractured nose and busted lip.
Now, we’ve heard this little tidbit and we don’t feel sorry for him, we just feel dumber having read it. Thanks a lot Bret!
It might be pretty common knowledge that Bret has suffered from diabetes, as evidenced on his “Rock Of Love” shows, but the idea that he withholds his insulin shots to better his sex life, just takes the whole enchilada.
When asked if his diabetes ever affects his sex life, he said:
The only time it will ever affect you in bed is if you have extremely low blood sugar and you go into insulin shock, at which point you won’t be standing up, let alone performing sex. However, I will sometimes hold off on the insulin, which will jack my blood sugar level up to the low 200 range. It’s like how a prizefighter will want to go into the ring with his blood sugar levels high. It gives you the stamina of a bull. So, yes, sometimes I will endanger my own life to pleasure a woman.”
That has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Why on Earth would you want to do this to yourself? I mean, sure, it’s selfless to want to make the sex better for one of the hoes he’s bangin’, but when it gets stupid like this, he just needs to quit.
It may be hard to believe, but even Cameron Diaz has body issues.
The actress, 36, who admits to having her nose fixed after breaking it four times (”Shit just finds my face,” she explains), says she probably wouldn’t have more plastic surgery, but does think about how she’d change her shape.
For years now Steve-O has called me “the Captain” and is complimentary about the lengths I have gone to to do whatever it is we do in our films. As you know Steve-O is no slouch either when it comes to being alligator bait, shark bait, or if you are traveling with him from London to Russia and back, masturbate (that last reference is for another story).
Well anyway, the small amount of courage I have been able to muster up for my bull stompins’ and rocket ridins’ does not even rate compared to what he has done in this last year. As of March 9th 2009, he has been sober for one full year and I find that amazing.
Let me put it into perspective; standing in front of a bull who wants to stomp you to death only takes 30 seconds of your time. Steve-O has had the bull of addiction trying to stomp him to death for the past 375 days now. Every waking second he is facing that beast and Steve-O is kicking its damn ass. Unbelievable. Steve-O you are braver than I could ever hope to be. If I am the Captain, you are the god-damned Colonel and I salute you buddy.
Here’s an interesting little fact about Kelly Clarkson for all you trivia fans out there: she’s a bit gross.
In a new interview, the American Idol winner admits to both peeing in the shower and checking the tissue to see what color her snot is!
When Blender magazine quizzed Kelly on whether she feels that washing and urinating are best done separately, she told them:
“Anybody who says they don’t [pee in the shower] is lying.”
And on the sticky subject of boogers she muses, “I mean, if you have a cold, you have to check, to see how sick you are.”
Call us old fashioned, but aren’t these the kind of things we’d rather not know about stars? You wouldn’t see Marilyn Monroe admitting to that stuff.
But according to Kelly, the oversharing is all part of her special charm.
“It’s not like people look at me as unattainable, some kind of star like that,” she told the April issue of the magazine. “People love the ‘real’ factor that’s involved, I think.”
Anthony Geisler, president of LA Boxing, has created a Facebook group called “I Want to Fight Chris Brown,” to challenge the R&B singer to a fight in the ring to see “what it’s like to face a real opponent.”
Earlier this month, Brown, 19, was arrested for making criminal threats after a woman accused him of assaulting her. The woman, who was later identified as Brown’s pop-star girlfriend Rihanna, 20, reportedly had several facial contusions and bite marks.
But there are at least 45 people who would prefer Brown step into the ring with Geisler, whose kickboxing and mixed martial arts training organization is the largest in the world.
All have signed up to be members of the group, which encourages people to join if they would like to be next in line to fight Brown.
Could Brown be in for what some might say are his just desserts? We will have to wait and see. But Brown does have a few big names in his corner.
Last week, actor Terrence Howard told Hollywood.tv that the alleged attack was “just life man. Chris is a great guy. He’ll be all right. Rihanna knows he loves her. They’ll be alright. Everyone has just got to get out of their way.”
He later retracted his statement, saying that had he known what Brown was accused of, he never would have said anything so “insensitive.”
[Incidentally, The Smoking Gun recently revealed that Howard was previously charged with simple assault, terroristic threats, harassment and stalking in 2002 when he broke into his estranged wife’s home and punched her twice in the face with a closed fist, just like Brown is accused of doing.]
Maybe there should be a Facebook group for Terrence too.
But at least Chris has former-reality-star-turned-Playboy-cover-girl Aubrey O’Day on his side. She told FOXNews.com that we should just give Chris his space and let him and Rihanna figure the situation out.
“You never really know what happens between two people, and until you do, you shouldn’t judge. I think it was wise for Chris to come forward and apologize, but we should just give them their space and let them figure it out.”
Maybe so, but holding back judgment won’t save him from a potential beat down in the ring.
Gwyneth Paltrow wants to get a few things off her chest. First, she’s aware of the negative reviews her new web site, GOOP, has received from critics, and she’s not taking them lying down.
Cute dress, eh?
“F**k the haters! I saw this blog of people writing horrible things about me and, for a second, your ego is so wounded.
How could people hate me, my intentions or what I’m trying to do? I’m a good person and I’m trying to put good things into the world. I’m probably less square than people think. I never get drunk to the point of throwing up. But I get very talkative. Man, I wish smoking didn’t kill you. I’d be smoking right now. I miss it.”
Gwyneth Paltrow, hate is such a strong word.

Jessica Alba really is quite funny. She’s managed to get dragged into an argument over things that are clearly, over her head.
Jessica Alba is fuming at TMZ for calling her dumb when she called Sweden a “neutral” country last week … even though it currently has troops in Afghanistan. Sweden was a neutral country … 60 years ago.
Even though she was engaged in a debate about the current political situation in America, when she advised a reporter to “Be Sweden … be neutral” — Alba is swinging back at critics via her blog saying,
“It’s so sad to me that you think the only neutral country during WWII was Switzerland.”
Guaranteed she meant “be Switzerland” — that phrase has been used for years and years, when advising someone to stay neutral.
She is absolutely correct — when the Nazis were waging war on anyone who opposed Hitler’s evil rule, Sweden remained neutral and stayed out of the war. After the war, Winston Churchill referred to Sweden as “that small, coward country.”
We apologize for not considering the political climate of the world in 1942 when we suggested she may have meant, “Be Switzerland” — a country that is currently neutral.
Our sincerest apologies.
However, the funniest response to the post was on Jessica Alba’s own blog.
You gotta love it when your own fans call you a tool.

“I’m not going to go, but I’m definitely going to watch. Are you kidding me? It’s history. I feel really hopeful about the whole thing. I just feel like, it’s hard to say it without sounding like a big gigantic cliché, but don’t you feel like there’s change? I feel very hopeful about everything. I think it’s really great the way he’s built his cabinet and the diversity. It feels very new.”

On performing at the Disney Channel’s Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future concert: “It’’s not just another president. What’s great about having the Disney Channel at the inauguration is now kids can be able to realize what a great experience this will be … I’m ridiculously nervous to a point where I don’t know what I’ll be able to do with myself. And I really hope I don’t fall.”

“Don’t we all have so many hopes for that poor man?”
KIEFER SUTHERLAND
“I’m going to watch it on the telly like most other people.”
NICK JONAS
“It’s absolutely an honor to be able to perform. We’ve always talked about a future in the White House one day, so to be able to go back should be fun. What we’re doing is all for the children and families of the military … We know that Sasha and Malia [Obama] are fans of ‘Burnin’ Up’ which is probably what we’ll playing.”
JENNIFER BEALS
“I’ll be there. I started working for the campaign during the primaries. Then I went to Ohio to speak. I went to Pennsylvania twice, knocked on doors, phone banks, talked to five, 10, 500 people, just did as much as I could. He means the change that you want to see in yourself. The economy is first and foremost, obviously.”

JASON BATEMAN
“I”m excited … we’re putting a new face on the leadership of this country, somebody representing all of us Americans that is a bit more appealing to the rest of the world, somebody who comes from a bit more of a common-sense position. That’s been lost for the last eight years. In fact, I’m going to be shooting a PSA for him, a pledge — you’re trying to pledge what you plan on doing to sort of better the country. Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, a bunch of people [are going] to make it. We’re going to deliver it to Obama, I think, on Inauguration Day.”
DENIS LEARY
“We’re going to be watching at work. Larenz [Tate] is going so my plan is to call him on his cell phone as often as I can that day and see if he’s finagled himself into the White House or not. We’re just looking for ashtrays and souvenirs that he can steal and bring back on set because he has to be back at work the next morning.”

“It’s going to be amazing. I have friends flying to New York tomorrow, who are going to take the train down to D.C. They’re coming from L.A. to go to it. Everyone is doing something for it.”

“I hope to watch it if I’m not working. I don’t have any plans specifically for the inauguration aside from the same kind of plans I had during the election, turn the TV on and be a part of history that way.”

“Hell, yeah, of course. I’ve got my Obama T-shirt ready. I’m going to wear it the whole way through. Like most of my friends and people that I know, I’m really excited about his possibilities and potential.”
SETH MacFARLANE
” It’s going to be a clusterf–k, but I’ll be watching. We all fought hard to make this happen. Here’s my theory: It’s going to take one term just to undo everything that George Bush has f–ked up. And by the way, not just George Bush but Reagan. too … So I think, step one, we have to admit to ourselves we have to give Obama two terms, and we have to let the Democrats continue to undo everything that’s gone wrong since the ‘80s. My fear is that eight years will roll by, assuming he gets elected a second term, and they’ll go, ‘Why didn’t he fix everything completely?’ And they’ll elect Sarah Palin, who will completely take the country to s–t, and if that happens, we do not deserve to be the dominant power any longer.”
Even Hugh Hefner had something to say about the sexy cover for the men’s magazine. Of the shoot, he said, “This looks like the cover of Playboy. I’m much impressed by Jennifer. Is it just me, or is Jennifer Aniston getting hotter? Never seen her in this light before.”
Think he’s just mad because he didn’t think of it first? Someone at Playboy probably got fired over letting GQ get the naked celebrity jump on him.
She has a bangin’ body and hasn’t had any children, like someone else we know, so she would be prime pickings for a Playboy shoot. Don’t you think?

TheSuperficial says, “Sadly, it was just him; he was holding a head of broccoli.”
A Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano , has issued a posthumous pardon to John Lennon for his ‘offensive’ declaration forty years ago that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus.
The paper described the remark as “showing off, bragging by a young English working-class musician who had grown up in the age of Elvis Presley and rock and roll and had enjoyed unexpected success”.
John Lennon, wherever he is, must feel so relieved that the Pope’s people are cool with him again… or then again, maybe he doesn’t give a crap.
Britney Spears says that since her breakdown, her life has been worse than a jail sentence – but that she’s slowly healing one day at a time.
“I have really good days, and then I have bad days,” the singer, 26, admits in a new fly-on-the wall, 90-minute documentary, Britney: For The Record, to air in the U.S. Nov. 30 on MTV and in the U.K. Dec. 1 on Sky1.
Struggling to gain control of her life again after her public meltdown earlier this year, she says candidly:
“Even when you go to jail, y’know, there’s the time when you’re gonna get out. But in this situation, it’s never ending. It’s just like [the Bill Murray movie] Groundhog Day.
I’m having to pay for it for a really long time.”
Spears was hospitalized for mental evaluation in January, which resulted in her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, being granted sole custody of their sons, Preston and Jayden. Her father, Jamie Spears, also gained legal control over her affairs.
This is supposed to be a candid interview? Forgive me, but that was horrible acting.
Angelina Jolie broke down in tears at a London press conference yesterday as she paid tribute to her late mother.
The Oscar-winning actress grew teary-eyed as she recalled how difficult she found it to play a mother in her latest film The Changeling, which was filmed shortly after her mum Marcheline Bertrand died in January 2007.
Fighting back the tears, Angelina said:
“Her name was Marcheline, but we used to call her Marshmallow, as a joke, because she was just the softest, most gentle woman in the world.
She was really sweet and was never angry - she couldn’t swear to save her life. But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this (film) is very much her, her story.
She was the woman I related to, who had that elegance and strength for knowing what was right.”
Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt flew in from the U.S. to the capital this week to promote her latest film. It appeared the strain of their busy schedule and roles as parents to six children were getting to the glamorous couple, who looked visibly tired last night.
For years, Jennifer Aniston has maintained a dignified silence about the woman who famously stole her husband.
Now she has decided to share with the world her utter contempt for Angelina Jolie. In the forthcoming issue of U.S. Vogue, Aniston gives a searing condemnation of her notorious nemesis.
In an outburst that will lift the lid on their four-year feud, Miss Aniston icily told the publication:
‘What Angelina did was very uncool’.
The brief yet explosive comment marks the first occasion that the former Friends star has spoken out publicly about her love rival.
It comes just a fortnight after Miss Jolie, 33, revealed that she and Pitt had ‘fell in love’ during the making of Mr and Mrs Smith in 2004, despite previously claiming their romance only started after filming.
I’ll tell you what, Jennifer… a woman can’t take away a man who wants to leave. If Angelina had denied her feelings and any advances from Brad, he simply would have moved on with someone else. When it’s over, it’s over.
“Her name was Marcheline, but we used to call her Marshmallow, as a joke, because she was just the softest, most gentle woman in the world.
