  1. Part of me hopes that all of them just keep acting as a side gig and do something else with their lives. Not that I don't love celebs (thats' why I'm here, right?) but how cool would it be if Emma became a pediatrician and Daniel, an archeologist who worked because they loved it, not 'cuz they needed the money?!


  2. "The "would they" and the "why" were pretty evident, so it was only a matter of when: Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller both filed divorce petitions on Monday in Los Angeles, and both filings noted December 25 -- the day Sheen assaulted Mueller, reportedly in a drunken rage over her threat to divorce him -- as the date of their separation. (Sheen pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in August.)

     

    It's been an, um, eventful few days for Sheen, who was escorted to the hospital last week after a reported hooker-fueled cocaine binge (or was a cocaine-fueled hooker binge)?

     

    Rumors of divorce have abounded since Sheen's Christmas Day arrest. In June, Sheen's rep confirmed that an agreement exists should the two split up, but the "Two and a Half Men" star had not even contemplated divorce.

     

    Sheen filed his papers on Monday, People was the first to report, and he is seeking joint custody of his twin sons with Mueller. Mueller shouldn't get any spousal support, according to his papers. A few hours later, Mueller submitted her own filing, seeking sole custody of the boys and spousal support."


  3. Charlie Sheen 'found naked in restaurant bathroom'

     

     

    Charlie Sheen at the 35th Annual People's Choice Awards - Press Room, Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, California.

    Charlie Sheen was found naked with cocaine smeared on his face in a restaurant bathroom before he trashed his luxury hotel room earlier this week, a shocking new report alleges.

     

    The actor is said to have gone missing at posh eatery Daniel in Manhattan just hours before his meltdown.

     

    And when an aide went to look for the troubled Two And A Half Men star, he found him nude in the toilet.

     

    "When the assistant opened the door, there was Charlie standing there naked with cocaine all over his face.

     

    "He was delusional and just completely lost. Totally out of it," a source said.

     

    "The assistant helped Charlie get dressed in the bathroom," the source told celebrity news website, RadarOnline.com.

     

    "Charlie was out of it. Gone. Just wasted. At that point the assistant steered him out of there and back to the hotel and the rest of the party came along."

     

    Sheen, 45, had been at the French restaurant with several pals, including porn star Capri Anderson, who was later found naked in his suite at the Plaza Hotel.

     

    Cops were called to the Fifth Avenue hotel early on Tuesday morning after Sheen allegedly went ballistic and caused $7,000 USD worth of damage.

     

    Sheen's spokesman said he had no comment on the report.

    No doubt another allergy attack :rolleyes:

    'I can't afford rehab': Lindsay Lohan pleads poverty as court orders a $53k stay at Betty Ford

     

    By Daily Mail Reporter

     

    Lindsay Lohan was clearly relieved on Friday when Judge Elden Fox ordered her back to rehab instead of sending her to jail. But her probation report raises the question of how exactly the 24-year-old is going to pay the $53,000 charge for her three-month stay.

     

    Lindsay has been ordered to stay at the Betty Ford Clinic until January 3. The report says: 'She indicates she can not afford to continue to pay for the treatment program and she needs to work. '[Lohan says] her clothing line is falling apart because she is not available to monitor the product.'

     

    While Lohan's clinic is highly effective at treating people with addictions, it charges them a lot of money for doing so. Her request to be moved into outpatient care instead was denied by the judge. But according to People magazine, Lindsay hasn't allowed rehab to get in the way of business. The Herbie star continued to work on her 6126 line from inside the centre, and carried on having meetings with whoever she needed to talk to.

     

    'Lindsay is still seeing income from the line, and it's doing three times better than originally expected,' a source says. 'It's keeping her busy and productive.' Being sent to rehab for the next three months also means that there is no way the actress will be able to film her role as Linda Lovelace in the film Inferno.

     

    The probation report says she 'is claiming that continued inpatient treatment would be a hardship financially, and damaging to her career.' But it doesn't look as if anyone thinks letting her out of the facility is a good idea, despite the fact that Lindsay claims that rehab is ruining her financially. All the doctors who have been involved with the actress believe the longer she is in rehab the better.

  5. Happy Days tv dad Tom Bosley has died at age 83.

     

    Tom Bosley has passed away at the age of 83 in his Palm Springs California home from complications of a staph infection.

     

    Tom Bosley first started his acting career in 1963 when he co starred with screen beauty Natalie Wood in the classic film "Love With A Proper Stranger." Tom Bosely is best known as his long running role as Howard Cunningham on the comedy show 'Happy Days."

     

    Tom began his role as the famous Mr. C the father of Richie and Joanie Cunningham, he was always the supportive,understanding ,kind go to for advice role model on the show. He was liked and respected by his former cast members and will be greatly missed by many.


  6. Barbara Billingsley, who gained supermom status for her gentle portrayal of June Cleaver, the warm, supportive mother of a pair of precocious boys in "Leave it to Beaver," died Saturday. She was 94.

     

    Ms. Billingsley, who had suffered from a rheumatoid disease, died at her home in Santa Monica, said family spokeswoman Judy Twersky.

     

    When the show debuted in 1957, Jerry Mathers, who played Beaver, was 9, and Tony Dow, who portrayed Wally, was 12. Ms. Billingsley's character, the perfect stay-at-home 1950s mom, was always there to gently but firmly nurture both through the ups and downs of childhood.

     

    Beaver, meanwhile, was a typical American boy whose adventures landed him in one comical crisis after another.

     

    Ms. Billingsley's own two sons said she was pretty much the image of June Cleaver in real life, although the actress disagreed.

     

    "She was every bit as nurturing, classy, and lovely as "June Cleaver" and we were so proud to share her with the world," her son Glenn Billingsley said Saturday.

     

    She did acknowledge that she may have become more like June as the series progressed.

     

    "I think what happens is that the writers start writing about you as well as the character they created," she once said. "So you become sort of all mixed up, I think."

     

    A wholesome beauty with a lithe figure, Ms. Billingsley began acting in her elementary school's plays and soon discovered she wanted to do nothing else.

     

    Although her beauty and figure won her numerous roles in movies from the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s, she failed to obtain star status until "Leave it to Beaver," a show that she almost passed on.

     

    "I was going to do another series with Buddy Ebsen for the same producers, but somehow it didn't materialize," she told The Associated Press in 1994. "A couple of months later I got a call to go to the studio to do this pilot show. And it was 'Beaver.'"

     

    Decades later, she expressed surprise at the lasting affection people had for the show.

     

    "We knew we were making a good show, because it was so well written," she said. "But we had no idea what was ahead. People still talk about it and write letters, telling how much they watch it today with their children and grandchildren."

     

    After "Leave it to Beaver" left the air in 1963 Ms. Billingsley largely disappeared from public view for several years.

     

    She resurfaced in 1980 in a hilarious cameo in "Airplane!" playing a demur elderly passenger not unlike June Cleaver.

     

    When flight attendants were unable to communicate with a pair of jive-talking hipsters, Ms. Billingsley's character volunteered to translate, saying "I speak jive." The three then engage in a raucous street-slang conversation.

     

    "No chance they would have cast me for that if I hadn't been June Cleaver," she once said.

     

    She returned as June Cleaver in a 1983 TV movie, "Still the Beaver," that costarred Mr. Mathers and Mr. Dow and portrayed a much darker side of Beaver's life.

     

    In his mid-30s, Beaver was unemployed, unable to communicate with his own sons and going through a divorce. Wally, a successful lawyer, was handling the divorce, and June was at a loss to help her son through the transition.

     

    "Ward, what would you do?" she asked at the site of her husband's grave. (Hugh Beaumont, who played Ward Cleaver, had died in 1982.)

     

    The movie revived interest in the Cleaver family, and the Disney Channel launched "The New Leave It to Beaver" in 1985.

     

    The series took a more hopeful view of the Cleavers, with Beaver winning custody of his two sons and all three moving in with June.

     

    In 1997 Universal made a "Leave it to Beaver" theatrical film with a new generation of actors. Ms. Billingsley returned for a cameo, however, as Aunt Martha.

     

    "America's favorite mother is now gone," Mr. Dow said in a statement Saturday. "I feel very fortunate to have been her "son" for 11 years. We were wonderful friends and I will miss her very much."

     

    In later years she appeared from time to time in such TV series as "Murphy Brown," "Empty Nest" and "Baby Boom" and had a memorable comic turn opposite fellow TV moms June Lockhart of "Lassie" and Isabel Sanford of "The Jeffersons' on the "Roseanne" show.

     

    "Now some people, they just associate you with that one role (June Cleaver), and it makes it hard to do other things," she once said. "But as far as I'm concerned, it's been an honor."

     

    In real life, fate was not as gentle to Ms. Billingsley as it had been to June and her family.

     

    Born Barbara Lillian Combes in Los Angeles on Dec. 22, 1915, she was raised by her mother after her parents divorced. She and her first husband, Glenn Billingsley, divorced when her sons were just 2 and 4.

     

    Her second husband, director Roy Kellino, died of a heart attack after three years of marriage and just months before she landed the "Leave it to Beaver" role.

     

    She married physician Bill Mortenson in 1959 and they remained wed until his death in 1981.

     

    Ms. Twersky said Ms. Billingsley's survivors include her sons, a stepson and numerous grandchildren.

  7. Apparantly, Melissa only gives TL $2K/month in child support. And so... more poetry:

     

    "pays all the bills"

    not entirely true

     

    "pays all the bills she chooses to pay"

    "pays all the bills her people thinks

    are important enough to pay"

    is more accurate

     

    when i went to get cash

    just last week

    for the three of us to eat

    nothing

     

    today i was shopping for birthday decor

    4th next sunday!

    little cash for lunch?

    nope- not enough funds

    no food

     

    what the fuck is marriage all about anyway? i thought i did everything i was supposed to do. support support support. love family, be there, love, right? all for naught or have i still everything to learn about love? and that was nothing? or the letting go of this is THEE LESSON of loving. argh.

     

    someone told me that chemotherapy just messes with a brain chemistry, changes the brain, the person, and makes them just in general different. they might b meaner, or illogical, often imbalanced, or whatever. but they just don't come out the same. hardly ever, i am told. and they can't help it. it just is.

     

    and i think about that alot too.

     

    And..

    someone asked about getting a job. okay. well.let's talkaboutthisheregirlfriend...... i have "help" until 2 pm a lot. i can't tell my bosses that i can work each day until between the hours of 830 and 145. tv hours aren't like that, waitressing ours aren't like that sadly.... strippers hours aren't like that, whores' hours aren't like that, secretary hours' aren't like that, starbucks' jobs aren't like that... crossed my mind this morning to get a paper route, though. that's a quick job, but i bet a lot has changed since i was 11. but thank goodness i was able to go home that day and eat- not like in haiti where you eat dirt cookies. while i drove, i spit brown stomach bile into my cup, and rinsed with water. then when i got home i simply ate a bagel. it's not really great for my stomach to sit empty right now. like being pregnant, but no baby inside. :-) but then my friend and i laughed... cuz once i am able to get my twins so set and solid and older, THEN there's jobs for me, and i'll be open.


  8. Does anyone else think that in many of these "star" marriages, there is just no expectation of fidelity? That Demi doesn't actually give a hoot about Ashton sleeping with others but is annoyed that she seems less desirable when the public learns of his extra-marital daliances? That all this cover up isn't cuz she cares if he's faithful but doesn't want to be seen as the older wife who's passed over for younger p*ssy?


  9. Supermodel Stephanie Seymour, Hubby Trying to Reconcile

    NBCNewYork.com

     

    Supermodel Stephanie Seymour and her husband have been embroiled in an ugly divorce and custody case, but now it appears that the couple is trying to reconcile.

     

    Seymour and her newsprint mogul husband, Peter Brant, filed for divorce in 2009 after 14 years of marriage. On Monday, the couple withdrew their cases.

     

    "The parties have withdrawn their divorce action and are reconciling. They ask that their privacy be respected," according to a statement from a public relations representative.

     

    When the couple appeared for their first trial, Superior Court Judge Lynda Munro said that she told the couple that she thought they’d get back together, the New York Post reports.

     

    "I'm a true believer in marriage. It's hard work growing old together, but it's actually sort of fun," she said on Monday, according to the Post.

     

    In the year and a half since the divorce case began, stories to surface sounded like something straight out of “War of the Roses” or “What Happens in Vegas.”

     

    The couple stayed in the same Greenwich mansion, but in July 2009, Brant changed the locks and Seymour had to bunk with the maid, the New York Post reported.

     

    He also argued that she was an unfit mom to their three children: Peter Jr., Harry and Lily, and claimed that Seymour submitted “invalid” urine samples to prove that she was not on drugs or booze.

     

    There were also allegations about nannies being used as spies.

     

    At one point, the case escalated to reports of physical violence. Not between Seymour and Brant, but a shoving match between Seymour and security guard, Joseph Babnik of Carmel, N.Y.

     

    Seymour and Babnick reached a deal in September 2009, according to Money Times.

     

    In October 2009, Brant was supposed to begin paying Seymour $270,000 per month in alimony and child support.

     

    But now, the supermodel and her art-collecting, polo-playing hubby seem to be back on the track to marital bliss, or at least to ending a bitter court battle.
