NOOO!!!! Maude died!

LOS ANGELES—Beatrice Arthur, the tall, deep-voiced actress whose razor-sharp delivery of comedy lines made her a TV star in the hit shows "Maude" and "The Golden Girls" and who won a Tony Award for the musical "Mame," has died. She was 86.

She died peacefully at her Los Angeles home early Saturday with her family at her side, family spokesman Dan Watt said. She would have been 87 on May 13.

Arthur had cancer, Watt said, declining to give further details.

"She was a brilliant and witty woman," said Watt, who was Arthur's personal assistant for six years. "Bea will always have a special place in my heart."

Arthur is survived by her sons, Mathew and Daniel, and two granddaughters, Kyra and Violet. No funeral services are planned.

*Bea shall always have a special place in all our hearts.  Thank you for all your years of talent. You were so FIERCE and made an awesome Femputer.*

Blind Item!

This one is for you, Kermit the master of weiner!!

EOnline - HN Nick is the hottest star, both bod-wise and at the box office. His wife’s figure and professional goings-on aren’t too shabby, either, as both Mr. and Mrs. Nick enjoy fame and fortune regularly up on the big screen—though his paychecks dwarf hers, big-time.

Yep, everything’s pretty cozy Chez Nick, even the bisexual couple’s agreement to have lovers outside the marriage. Instead of his-and-hers towels, they have his-and-hers sex partners!

And you guessed it, there’s a girl for Mrs. Nick and…

A boy for Mr. Nick! And like the smart have-it-all couple they are, the Nicks chose other famous people to be their closeted lovers. Too crafty! Only problem being Hard-Nipple’s boyfriend is married to an established actress who’s growing increasingly peeved over the clandestine arrangement.

“He’s starting to go out and fly him with him everywhere,” a good friend to the Nicks told yours truly about Hard-Nipple Nick taking the BF a few too many places as of late. “They’re turning up everywhere together, and [the boyfriend's wife] is getting really pissed about it. It’s going too far. It’s only a matter of time before she spills.”

Guess all those pricey little gifties to the wife for borrowing her hubby aren’t as attractive as they once were?

Must say I’m a tad surprised to hear this latest development, as HNN’s always been one of the best in the Biz about keeping his preferred love life on the down-low. And now that it’s flyin’ high, guess a tabloid revelation is only seconds away from takeoff!

And It Ain’t: John Travolta, David Beckham, Jerry O’Connell

It's a Beyonce post

from digital spy:

Beyoncé has reportedly revealed that she wants to start a family and settle down within the next few years.

The 27-year-old, who married hip-hop star Jay-Z last April, is currently appearing as a wife who tackles her husband's stalker in the film Obsessed.

The former Destiny's Child singer said that her dream of the future will include working on the stage and having a more everyday routine, according to Reuters.

"I'll be able to go to the theatre every day and drop my kids off and maybe make some food - maybe I'll know how to cook by then - and then go do what I love and have some normalcy and have a regular schedule," she said. "I definitely want to do Broadway."

Beyoncé recently spoke of the responsibility that comes with her high-profile career, describing the influence she has over young fans as "scary".

Wasn't this a Blind Item?

you know, the one where the wife can't change her haircolor or style for fear the hubs will seek out drag queens looking like her blond self....well, this seems answered from digital spy:

Gavin Rossdale enjoyed a five-year relationship with another man, according to reports.

The Bush singer, who has been married to Gwen Stefani for seven years, allegedly had a love affair with pop singer Peter Robinson, who recorded under the name Marilyn.

According to Entertainment Wise, Robinson claimed that the star "was the love of my life".

"He was just becoming successful in America. I agreed to lie against every grain of my being," he said.

"We were together five years. But it felt like 40."

Boy George previously claimed that the pair were an item in his 1995 autobiography Take It Like A Man.

HOT BLIND ITEM!!!!

from Blindgossip!!!  Could it be?

This celebrity couple's pre-nuptial agreement required the wife to stay in the relationship for a certain amount of time. However, the Stepford Wife's law firm has decided that it may be difficult to impossible for the husband to enforce this. It seems that the wife knows much more than she should about the husband's long-time and very personal relationship with another high-profile man. She is using that knowledge to get her sentence reduced and to to gain custody over the couple's kid/s.

It's still not Nicole Kidman

O Rly?

judge for yourself!  from digital spy:

John Mayer has revealed that he has stopped smoking marijuana.

The singer-songwriter announced his decision to stop using the drug on his Twitter profile.

Mayer wrote: "I don't smoke pot anymore. I just pay a dude 50 bucks to come over, press lightly on my chest and tell me all my ideas are awesome.

"Any time I feel like smoking pot I just book myself a life insurance exam."

*Don't know if I believe him!*

Buzz Killington

Sorry to piss on your crunchy buzz.....seeing as it is 4/20 and all....but just a reminder to all who want pot legalized; it may not be the cure all answer to society's ills.  Let's look at the Netherlands, who outlawed it not long ago and are in the process of reducing the coffeshops that sold the stuff:

as of July 1, 2008

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - This city's famed marijuana bars have weathered many challenges over the years and are still smoking. But now they face an unwelcome blast of fresh air: On July 1, the Netherlands will be one of the last European countries to ban smoking in bars and restaurants in compliance with EU law.

The Health Ministry says the ban will apply to cafes that sell marijuana, known as coffee shops. But this being Holland, which for centuries has experimented with social liberalism, there's a loophole: The ban covers tobacco but not marijuana, which is technically illegal anyway.

But that still leaves coffee shops and their customers in a bind. Dutch and other European marijuana users traditionally smoke pot in fat, cone-shaped joints mixed with tobacco.

Marijuana possession is illegal in the Netherlands, but smokers are not prosecuted for holding up to 5 grams. Around 750 cafes — half of them in Amsterdam — are licensed to have up to 500 grams in stock at any one time.The Dutch government, currently led by a conservative coalition with a religious bent, is slowly squeezing back the number of coffee shops by not renewing licenses when shops close.

Growers are arrested, leaving coffee shop owners struggling to obtain their main product.

*remember kids, a gram weighs the same as a dime....so five dimes= the amount of pot you may legally possess in the Netherlands.  I also understand that they have had a lot of problems with mafia-like gangs controlling distribution to shops, almost putting a chokehold on the pot biz over there.*

Oh Ha-yell No

Wino, in my opinion, is NOT ready for raising a child.  Somebody slap the baby fever out of her quick.  On the other side though, I supposed she's used to being covered in puke and body fluids....you know, BLAAAAAAKE and all.

Amy Winehouse reportedly wants to adopt a child in her new-found Caribbean home,considering herself as the "Angelina Jolie of St. Lucia".

The 25-year-old singer is already thinking about making a permanent move to the resortand apparently wants to help underprivileged children.

An insider told the Daily Mail: "Amy is seriously thinking about adopting but she is aware it’s going to be incredibly difficult with her background."

A spokesman for the star said that Winehouse had been talking in the context of setting up some kind of music and education-based project to help the underprivileged.
