Shizzle in the Hizzle?

I'm not one to post political thingies here but this gossip with political lacings was a little too juicy to pass up about Sarah Palin's family. from Gawker.com:

Please let this be true. According to a barely literate MySpace message, Sarah Palin is snubbing the family of Levi Johnston, the jock who knocked up Bristol, because they're "white trash." (Not that we'd disagree.)

The message was supposedly left by Mercede Johnston, Levi's 18-year-old sister, on the page of Mellissa Wilfong, a former Wasilla resident who now lives in Florida, to tell her about an upcoming trip to Orlando. As an aside, she notes that she and her mom (that would be Sherry, the one who was busted for dealing OxyContin) aren't allowed to visit Bristol and Levi's love child.

For those who have trouble reading the prose of this fine product of the Wasilla school system, here's a translation:

Levi is in a bit of a haze right now... Umm, I'm not allowed to see my nephew and my mom isn't either. We aren't Palins so therefore we are white trash and Bristol doesn't want her baby around us. So mom and I are really upset over it. I just hope Levi pulls his head out of his butt and lets us see our nephew and her grandbaby.

It's not just the utter inability to spell that makes us think this is the real Mercede. Her MySpace page (which is set to private) has been the source of other fun Palin family revelations. In happier days, i.e. last year, Mercede visited the Palin household soon after Sarah's magical baby Trigg was born (see above). And Wilfong appears to be in the Palin orbit as well. Last September, while everyone was claiming that Trigg was actually Bristol's baby, she piped up on Fox News' web site to tell everyone to shut up, note that her sons used to attend school with Bristol, and that she wouldn't be voting for her former Mayor. (Smart lady.)

Oh Noes!

can't be true....from ONTD:

Britney Spears has thrown her platinum-selling career comeback into a tailspin by threatening to cancel her $100 million world tour, The Circus Featuring Britney Spears, which will launch in New Orleans this March.

“Britney doesn’t want to do it, and she’s telling her father Jamie that,” an insider for The National Enquirer reports, adding that, “All the dates are booked-and $100 million would be lost if she bails.”

“Both her father and ex-husband Kevin Federline are telling her she has to go on for the sake of her kids and their financial future,” the source confided. “Jamie needs this tour for Britney to secure her wealth.”

The tabloid claims the pop tart is feeling the pressure of a grueling training schedule necessary for the 33-city North American leg of the tour.“She is already exhausted getting in shape….Britney feels like she’s being forced to tour.”

According to The Enquirer, Jamie and Kevin both have a lot to lose if Britney runs away from The Circus.“Britney can’t back out now-there’s just too much at stake.”

“She is already exhausted getting in shape for the trip. And her focus has changed, too - Britney just wants to be a stay-at-home mom to her two boys. Britney feels like she is being forced to tour. Jamie has made it clear he wants to get her back to where she was.”

But Britney, 27, hates the tour’s set-up, which includes Kevin - who has custody of their boys - tagging along. That concession was the only way she could have the boys with her, so she reluctantly agreed…“Kevin is working on a deal for a reality show based on following her ‘Circus’ tour.”

*I call BS*

Blind Items!

Sorry for the laziness, these are all off of ONTD, if you want to check sources.  Word came down from the top today at work about hiring freezes and possible layoffs, so I'm kind of in OMYGAWDGOTTAFINDANOTHERJOB meltdown mode.  

1. Which aging action star had a leisurely conversation with a young, hunky co-star on set — all while being pleasured by an extra? source

2. Catty at the Casting Call. Normally, when an actor goes on a casting call, they are on their best behavior. This one well-known film actor, however, somehow thinks that the rules don’t apply to her. Although she was heavily favored for the role in a film that will almost certainly become a hit, she showed up late and was rude to the person at the front desk. She then whipped out her cell phone in the waiting area and proceeded to quietly but audibly bad mouth the lead actor who was already attached to the film, calling him a “fucking loser”. By the time she was ushered into the meeting, word of her bad behavior had already reached the director. He gave the star a scant five minutes of his time, and dismissed her with barely a comment. The role will go to another actress. source

3. This up and coming known for his very good looks C list actor with B list name recognition who is right on the verge of becoming huge, has a major medical issue he is facing. Apparently he needs to have some oral surgery to remove a growth on his tongue. It could impair his ability to speak properly and permanently derail his career. For now he is keeping the upcoming surgery quiet, so as to not jeopardize any further opportunities from coming his way while at the same time hoping it doesn't cost any lasting damage. source

4. This A list film actress has barely admitted to getting botox. Always presumed to be a natural beauty, it turns out that in addition to botox she has also got her breasts augmented and had lipo, all while under the guise of being in the hospital for completely different reasons. source

SJP & Matthew Broderick to split?

I swore he was gay! Maybe that's the big news here. From A Socialite's Life:

I guess he took the mole with him. Star magazine is reporting that Matthew Broderick

has been engaging in some extramarital activities while wife Sarah Jessica Parker has been busy with her career.

And get this? It was with some chick! I coulda sworn it would be a dude. C'mon, he's into musical theater and he's married to Carrie Bradshaw so he can try on her shoes and mince when she's not around.

More details from the Star magazine story that claims that Matthew Broderick's extramarital dalliances simply grew too much for the Sex and the City star to continue going through the motions of marriage.

Sarah Jessica Parker is reportedly house-hunting for a home that will not include her hubby. Even though the couple have been "living separate lives," she only recently decided to take action.

If anybody cares....

Toothy Tile....I mean, Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon may be engaged. From Janet Charlton:

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have a secret. Recently they were at a Lakers game seated next to Jeffrey Katzenberg. An eyewitness told us that at half time Reese was fiddling with an antique style diamond ring on her engagement finger. She showed it to Jeffrey and whispered something to him. Jeffrey looked around and advised her "You'd better take that ring off before people see it!" She and Jake chuckled and she slipped the ring off and put it in her pocket. The pair were very affectionate and touchy during the game. We think they got engaged for real over the holidays!

Quickies...

from omg!:

Fergie and Josh Duhamel are husband and wife.

The two tied the knot under magnolias filled with white roses Saturday at an ultra-private ceremony at the Church Estates Vineyards in Malibu, Calif., Usmagazine.com can confirm. Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am was among the guests. (Around 5:09 p.m., attendees were overheard saying that the two had wed; cheers were also heard outside the estate.)

"It's official! Fergie and Josh tied the knot tonight in Malibu," her manager tells Us. "The Black Eyed Peas were all there. The ceremony was incredible! And they're still partying!"

from Dailymail.uk:

Jailbird Blake Fielder-Civil has instructed a lawyer to begin divorce proceedings against Amy Winehouse after seeing pictures of the singer cavorting with another man in the Caribbean.

Celebrity lawyer Henri Brandman told MailOnline that Blake had instructed him to launch the action on the grounds of Amy's adultery. It is thought that Blake will go for half of Amy's £10 million fortune.

The move comes as loved-up Amy told a Sunday newspaper that she has finally kicked her drug habit. The star also admitted that she had 'forgotten I'm even married' to Blake, claiming 'our whole marriage was based on doing drugs'. 

and from ONTD:

Madonna is reportedly being targeted by Muslim fanatics.

The US singer - who follows the Jewish rooted faith Kabbalah - has added to her personal security team and warned ex-husband Guy Ritchie to increase protection for the children they raise, Lourdes 12, Rocco, eight and adopted David Banda, three.

A source told Britain's The People newspaper: "Madonna is well known for her Kabbalah faith and support for Israel, having visited the country several times.

"This seems to upset extreme Muslims who forget she respects people of all faiths whether Islamic, Christian or Buddhist. Like anyone else she would like to see a peaceful end to the problems in Gaza.

"But she is beside herself with worry, not just for her own safety, but for that of the children."

Extremists angry about the current situation in Gaza - where Israeli and Palestinian groups have been warring since the beginning of the year - have taken their attack on western values to a personal level, writing hate messages about Madonna on websites.

According to The People, Palestinian leader Abdel-Al wrote on site Islambase.com: "If I meet these w****s I will have the honour of to be the first one to cut the head off Madonna if they will keep spreading their satanic culture against Islam."

from msnbc.com:

Even while soaking up the sun in Puerto Rico, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony just couldn’t escape the ongoing rumors of relationship woes.

While reps for the couple insist everything’s “great,” People magazine reports that there may be a grain of truth behind the gossip.

“The marriage is experiencing frustrations because of the added stress of the twins (11-month-old Max and Emme),” a close source revealed. “But they will work things out. They love each other, and that will dictate what happens. I don’t think divorce is in the picture.”

*Don't forget, rumor is the split is coming right after St. Valentine's day!*

I'm Fuckin BORED!

There's nothing really interesting going on and I'm done with Jett's death.....but here: Jay and Silent Bob feel my boredom.  From Clerks II:

That's It?

We're supposed to believe this cuz they say so?  From TMZ:

Lindsay & Sam -- Kaput

Posted Jan 5th 2009 7:20PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has it down solid -- Lindsay and Sam Ronson are officially history.

but there is this from popcrunch:

Lindsay Lohan has broken up with her lesbian lover of nine months, DJ Samantha Ronson, after a bitter argument between the women turned violent on New Year’s Day.

Lindsay, 22, who was spotted carrying a big bag out of the couple’s LA home over the weekend, has reportedly moved out of the home she shared with the popular celebrity spinner and gotten a place of her own.

Trouble in paradise began on New Year’s Eve, when Lindsay and Samantha hosted a bash together at club Mansion, where the two began arguing in public.

“Both their families were there, and Lindsay and Samantha just started going at it,” a source told the NY Post.

Lindsay screamed, “When I storm off, you are supposed to follow me!”

“It was a really gross alley. There was a bum eating a sandwich and watching the whole thing,” a source told the paper. “Lindsay was really unstable and flipping out.”

The Post claims a war of words later turned to a physical altercation at a Miami hotel the two women were staying at.

“They were punching each other – it was bad,” another hotel patron told the paper. “And they were doing this in front of all of us. It was scary.”

Hotel security were dispersed to take photos of the girls’ reportedly trashed room.

“The screams and crashing from their room were heard all over the hotel,” a spywitness whispers.

“They spilled out into the hallway at 11am, kicking and punching each other. People were watching. They were going for it - it was scary. Lindsay seemed unstable. At one point she dropped to her knees and cried, ‘Why are you doing this to me?’ Sam just said, ‘I don’t know you.’”

“Mirrors were broken and it was a complete mess…..They (the hotel) took pictures of their room for evidence - it was trashed with broken mirrors and debris everywhere,” the source added.

Just My Two Cents

from msnbc.com:

FREEPORT, Bahamas - An official with a Bahamian funeral home says Jett Travolta’s death certificate says he was killed by a “seizure.”

Glen Campbell is assistant director of the funeral home handling the remains of John Travolta’s 16-year-old son.

He tells The Associated Press that the body is in “great condition” and shows no sign of head trauma, despite police officials who said the teen may have hit his head on a bathtub.

Authorities performed an autopsy Monday but didn’t release the results. Campbell said the certificate was based on the autopsy findings, and gave no information on the cause of death beyond the word “seizure.”

Jett Travolta’s body is now at the Grand Bahama airport en route for burial in Ocala, Fla., where the actor owns a home.

*I think the kid had epilepsy.....my dealer's cousin had it and died of a grand mal seizure. I think that since strobe lights are known to trigger seizures, they kept him out of the spotlight to protect him from paparazzi camera flashes. Maybe they didn't want to put him through all that if it would trigger him. I don't know about autism but that's what i think.

I also think that what the Travoltas were doing was all to protect Jett and get him the help he needed.  That meant producing lies about his condition, not so much for the public, although it spilled over to there, but so the $cibots would support and help them.  John and Kelly must have known when they heard the diagnosis that there would be a hard fight since the C of $ doesn't recognise epilepsy as a real disease.  They must have known, when Jett was having grand mal seizures that this day might come, they just didn't think it would be so soon.

They must have found a doctor who was acceptable to the C of $ who would help them with the deception in order to get the care that Jett needed.  The lie was for them, not us.  They live in a world of lies bound together with their own personal deceptions.

So because I think they truely loved their son and did everything in their power for him, I'm giving the Travoltas a Spin Sycle get out of jail free pass.  I'm letting this one go.  May Jett rest in the arms of angels and may his parents find the solace and comfort that they need.  And I truly truly hope that those that they must lie to in order to preserve what memories they have of their son, burn in the deepest and most horrible depths of hell.*

Sad News....

John Travolta's 16 year old son died. Poor guy was born into a family where he didn't stand a chance. Hopefully he is at rest. From msnbc.com:

NASSAU, Bahamas - The teenage son of actor John Travolta died suddenly on Friday during a family vacation in the Bahamas, according to the family’s lawyer.

Jett Travolta, 16, suffered a seizure at his family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island, attorney Michael Ossi said. According to Access Hollywood, Jett fell and hit his head on the bathtub in his hotel room.

Attempts were made to revive him, but he died at the scene, Ossi said.

and from gawker.com:

Travolta and his actress wife Kelly Preston had their lawyers bat down reports that Jett had been diagnosed with autism. Travolta vehemently denied that Jett suffered from the mysterious ailment, blaming his health problems on a disorder called Kawasaki Syndrome. A disorder that can, apparently, lead to heart disease.

What exactly is this Kawasaki Syndrome—the rare disorder that John Travolta had said his son had suffered from before dying today at the age of sixteen?

According to the Mayo Clinic's website, it's an uncommon disorder that affects children, "that causes inflammation in the walls of small- and medium-sized arteries throughout the body, including the coronary arteries." It comes with a variety of unpleasant symptoms, including diarrhea and lots of skin peeling. But in most cases children suffering from Kawasaki Syndrome make complete recoveries after receiving proper treatment. However, Jett Travolta—whose parents described him as a Kawasaki sufferer amid reports that the boy was actually autistic—has had medical problems for years.

*personally, when I hear seizure, I think epilepsy.....but I'm not a doctor. I call shenanigans, there's something else that went on here that isn't being released, but I don't know what*

and I just found this blind item from blind gossip:

Family Will Face Medical and Legal Scrutiny
Which celebrity family is soon going to come under serious attack from both law enforcement and the medical community? A death in their family may have been preventable had the family sought proper medical treatment for the victim. Instead, they publicly denied the deceased’s true condition, and privately refused treatment that could have prevented the tragic death. Two District Attornies are now consulting with medical experts and the Coroner to determine jurisdiction and to see if charges can be brought against those who refused treatment.

Update 1/3/08:

TMZ has learned what may have killed Jett Travolta, and it's not what police have suggested.

We've spoken with John Travolta's lawyer and close friend, Michael McDermott, and family attorney Michael Ossi, both of whom are with John in the Bahamas. They tell TMZ it appears Jett's fatal injury was the result of hitting his head on the bathtub, toilet seat, or both. And they say the intimation that Jett went undiscovered for hours is absolutely false.

Police have said the last time anyone saw Jett was when he went to the bathroom on January 1. His body was discovered by nanny Jeff Kathrein the next day at 10 AM. In fact, McDermott and Ossi say it appears Jett went back and forth to his room and the fatal injury occurred "very shortly" before Jett was found on the bathroom floor -- McDermott called it a "small window of time."

McDermott and Ossi tell us two nannies were present on the trip and Jeff was by his side 24/7. There was a baby monitor device by Jett's side and there was also a chimer in the bathroom when the door opened.

McDermott and Ossi say it is still unclear if Jett fell to the floor as a result of a seizure or if he had a seizure after falling or slipping. There was blood on the floor of the bathroom, but "not a tremendous amount." It appears the striking of Jett's head was the cause of death, though it won't be clear until the autopsy is performed Monday morning.

Jett's body will be embalmed Monday afternoon. There will be a local showing on Tuesday and later that day the body will be flown to Ocala, Fla. for burial.

McDermott says both John and Kelly are night owls. John often goes to sleep at around 5 AM. But McDermott says both nannies were at the hotel and Jeff always present.

McDermott tells us a hotel manager was first on scene with Jeff and the two of them administered CPR. John came in shortly thereafter and John took over for a "substantial period of time [and] was performing CPR and continued that until EMT came and took over."

*I still say BS.....It just doesn't sound right.  Obvs Jeff wasn't always present all the time or this would'nt have happened.  This part really bothers me: Police have said the last time anyone saw Jett was when he went to the bathroom on January 1. His body was discovered by nanny Jeff Kathrein the next day at 10 AM.

Plus, Mcdermott and Ossi are lawyers, not doctors.  I don't believe lawyers where medical affairs are concerned.  The timeline is critical here and I am anxious for the full report.*

Good bye 2008

you were a crappy crappy year. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out. Hello 2009! Please to be better! Be sure to check out the planet alignment just after sunset on the last day of this crap year. Hopefully it's a sign that all things will be better this next round!

Tom & Katie to compete with the Duggars?

Gross. He does realize that you have to have sex right? Or at least get a new turkey baster cuz I'm sure the old one broke or dissolved from its unholy purpose. Or maybe Will Smith wanted to borrow it for a little personal fulfillment. From digital spy:

Tom Cruise has revealed that he wants to have ten children.

The actor has adopted children Isabella, 16, and Conor, 13, with ex-wife Nicole Kidman and daughter Suri with Katie Holmes, but said he wants to further extend his family.

"I want ten children. I love kids. I feel really fortunate to have the teenagers and a two-and-a-half-year-old. It's a great dynamic," he told The Sun.

Speaking about his youngest daughter, Cruise added: "She's so charming, she's so beautiful, she's just great."

*It's all so AMAZAZING*

Blind Items: End of the Year edition

I think a lot of these we already knew. Anyway, from a compilation on ONTD:

Jonathan Jaxon's blog: Which top male music mogul once slept with his former male assistant?

Answer: P-Diddy

Ted Casablanca: Mooney Tuna can't put on a condom right.

Answer: Mooney Tuna = Seth MacFarlane

Lainey: Actress extremely thin before pregnancy, couldn't lose last 10 pounds even with help of celebrity IV diet; got lap band installed in stomach. Husband wants to conceive again, but she is too scared to remove device because she wants to stay thin. Her body over baby choice is now threatening her marriage.

Answer: Debra Messing

Lainey: Everyone does it, but it's not the doing that's intriguing, it's the who's doing that's intriguing. Especially since her reputation is supposed to be so civilised and enlightened: a doting mother, a successful business, an artist (debatable), and an icon to many a MiniVan member. Ironic as it may seem considering the original spirit of the inspiration. The situation is actually even more shocking considering her past. Having had that kind of experience with addiction though, perhaps there are only 2 roads: to shun drugs fiercely or, as it is in this case, to embrace them dangerously in her time of need.

Friends and family are becoming concerned. They're saying "she's not doing well", observing that her use has dramatically escalated, that she is becoming increasingly anti-social and withdrawn, removed out of embarrassment from her usual circle, and when forced out in public, looking awkward and seemingly unable to cope in social settings where she was once comfortable. The reason? It's not those laughable rumours of infidelity. It's actually because he ignores her. Never the child, but always her. Not deliberately but because she has no part in his life. It used to be he'd show up for the professional events, at the very least. Now she has to beg.

Answer: Sarah Jessica Parker

Goodness save us....

from popcrunch:

Jessica Simpson is “actively trying” to have a baby.

The singer-and-actress is reportedly desperate to start a family with her quarterback-starring boyfriend Tony Romo after younger sister Ashlee gave birth to her first child, son Bronx Mowgli, in November.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Jessica makes an announcement that she’s pregnant very, very soon,” a source said.



*I'm telling ya, it's the only way she can stay relevant in the public eye now and even then nobody cares.....how long til she's singing in Vegas...oh wait, she already did the state fair circuit....how long til she's shillin condos?*

Blind Item!

This could also go under 'Well, DUH'

(also from gawker & gatecrasher)

Which talking-head gossip is sleeping with the married boss of her cable net to win more airtime? Her beau apparently found out, moved out and now they're both blabbing the tale all over the place. She is also said to be sleeping with a television actor from a popular-ish spin-off series. Hint: It's not Liz Smith.

*Chelsea Handler and this is old....it's how she got her first show on comedy central*

Well, DUH

posting on the fly, trying to not get busted at work! And I guess a work visa wasn't good enough. from gawker.com:

New Williamsburg It girl, the Nylon-'working' 19-year-old Brit tabloid smash (and washed-up rockstar daughter!) that is Peaches Geldof, has so pulled the second-oldest trick in the book:

Marrying a dude to get a green card! (The first-oldest trick is getting pregnant so he'll marry you.) Sure, it was cute when the teen impulsively wedded Max Drummey in Vegas last August, but one might think—what other problems do people with impulse-control issues have? Besides coke?

Anyway, an ill-thought-out apartment photoshoot (see: Impulse control, problems with) featuring her narrow-looking pad and her two roommates—her Harvard-educated rocker husband not one of them—was quickly pulled. Probably because her management was all, "WTF were you thinking? Call us first next time!"

And now the Brit tabloids are reporting she'll spend the holidays in Britain with her washed-up rocker dad instead of her new family unit. "It's only for four days," she told The Sun. Funny how quickly four days apart can become years.

In case you didn't know....

and you are an IE user....from G4tv.com:

We know that a bulk of computer users out there use Microsoft's Internet Explorer. So it's a real drag that there may be a serious security glitch in the browser.

The public is being urged to use other browsers while this flaw is being investigated and Microsoft preps an emergency patch to unravel this mess.

Everyone is at risk. This problem is quite serious as it could allow criminals to tap into your computer and steal your password -- and you know what that could lead to.

Although Microsoft has detected outbreaks against IE 7.0, others were present in all versions of the browser.

"In this case, hackers found the hole before Microsoft did," said Rick Ferguson, senior security advisor at Trend Micro. "This is never a good thing."

So far what this flaw has managed to steal are game passwords, but it's obvious what the criminals' intentions are.

While experts are encouraging and recommending users to find alternate browsers to abate security risks, Microsoft on the other hand, urge users to stay put.

"I cannot recommend people switch due to this one flaw," said John Curran, head of Microsoft UK's Windows group.

PC Pro magazine's security editor, Darien Graham-Smith, disagrees, "It's a shame Microsoft have not been able to fix this more quickly, but letting people know about this flaw was the right thing to do. If you keep flaws like this quiet, people are put at risk without knowing it."

*At your job they've probably already sent you a patch but for private users, go to microsoft.com to download it.*
