RIP Natasha Richardson






Natasha Richardson, a film star, Tony-winning stage actress and a member of the famed Redgrave acting family, has died. She was 45.

Liam Neeson and his family have just released the following statement :

"Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."

Richardson died after suffering injuries in a fall on a ski slope at a Quebec resort about 80 miles northwest of Montreal.

According to a statement from the resort, Station Mont Tremblant, Richardson fell on a beginners' trail Monday during a lesson.

At the time, Richardson was accompanied by a ski instructor, who called the ski patrol, the statement said. "She did not show any visible sign of injury, but the ski patrol followed strict procedures and brought her back to the bottom of the slope and insisted she should see a doctor."

Richardson, accompanied by the instructor, returned to her hotel, but about an hour after the fall, was "not feeling good," the statement said. An ambulance was called, and Richardson was taken to a local hospital before she was transferred to Hopital du Sacre-Coeur in Montreal.

She and Liam Neeson have two children, Michael and Daniel. Richardson was married to Robert Fox from 1990 to 1994.

Trying Out For America's Next Top Model Is Tougher Than Previously Thought

Pandemonium erupted outside of an "America's Next Top Model" casting call at CW Studios in midtown Saturday when an overheating car triggered a stampede of catwalk-craving cuties. Screaming as they ran for their lives, hundreds of hotties in heels toppled over barricades along W. 55th St. after several people in the crowd started yelling, "There's a bomb!"



Apparently a BMW overheated. Car overheating / bomb. Would you have known the difference?

By the time the model madness ended, six women were injured and two women and one man were busted for inciting a riot, authorities said.

"The girls were running like it was 9/11 part two," said Jennifer Brown, 27, of Kensington, Brooklyn. "I feared for my life."

The audition for the show on The CW, which for the first time was open only to women under 5-feet-7, was doomed from the start, several said.

Scores of aspiring models slept overnight outside the Park Central Hotel, hoping to be the first to sashay before the hit shows casting agents.

But shortly after the sun rose, women began arriving and lining up indiscriminately.
Tensions quickly boiled over.

Things only got worse when the dolled-up ladies were told if they stepped out of the line, they couldn't come back in.

"I had to pee in a cup and change my clothes in the street," said Mona Knight, 18, of the Bronx, who arrived at 11:30 p.m. Friday night. "There was no organization whatsoever."

Cops arrived and placed barricades along the street. But by that point, there were already several thousand women lined up. A handful of women started fainting after getting pressed up against the wall, witnesses said.

"Everyone was so compressed, I don't think they could breathe," said Alex Saavedra, 23, who escorted his girlfriend to the audition. "Then they started passing out."

A fight broke out between two men who had been taunting each other for several hours, witnesses said.

Cops intervened and pulled the men off the line. One of them threatened to return with a gun, heightening tensions among the already-frazzled women.

Soon after, a black BMW with smoke pouring out of its hood pulled up in the street near the line, sending the sea of underdressed women scrambling to get away.

"The metal barricade fell down," said Kiara McCarthy, 19, of Levittown, L.I. "All of a sudden we heard this roar from behind us and we looked behind us and there's a wave of people falling on top of us."

Gabrielle Rose, 25, said several women started crying out in pain.

"We all fell on top of each other," said Rose, of Scranton, Pa. "People were squished against the wall, screaming, 'I can't breathe! I can't breathe!' "

A total of six women were injured, authorities said.

Two were transported to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell in stable condition, authorities said.

No more women were allowed to audition after the stampede, leaving many diminutive ladies devastated that they missed out on an opportunity to make it big.

"I'm 5-foot-3. There's no way I can make it into a model agency," McCarthy said. "They would turn me away at the door. We had an opportunity and it was taken away from us."

Who's Wacko Now?


Um...the British?

Fifty nights. One million fans. And one Michael Jackson out to prove he's still the King of Pop.

All 50 of Jackson's comeback concerts at London's O2 Arena sold out within minutes of going on sale to the general public this morning, raising the possibility that the "Billie Jean" singer may take the show on the road—and even play the U.S. for the first time in nearly a decade.

"Michael is 'thrilled' by the response and wanted as many fans to share the experience with him as possible. This is the last chance to see the King of Pop in London, performing the songs we all love!" reads a message at michaeljacksonlive.com.

The series of gigs kicks off July 9, runs through September and then, following a three-month break, picks up again in January. The residency wraps up Feb. 24, 2010.

Given the O2 Arena's capacity is just shy of 13,000, Jackson has sold about 1 million tickets for his run—a virtually unprecedented feat and one that must be especially gratifying for Jackson given his myriad financial and legal troubles, most notably his successful battle against child-molestation charges.

Promoter AEG, which has labeled the record sales "music history," knew there was massive demand out there given the huge response to the presale allotment of tickets. A large number even camped out overnight outside the O2 Arena for what he has called "my final curtain call"—although he has not elaborated whether he just means these would be his performances in London or if he plans on retiring from the stage for good.

The London run began with just 10 announced shows. During the past week, Jackson and AEG added another 40 dates to bring the count to 50—or one for each year of the Moonwalker's life. Although there has been speculation the fragile Jackson wouldn't be up for such a demanding slate (indeed, U.K. oddsmakers are taking bets on how many shows he'll actually perform), the promoter says he had to pass a vigorous physical before the contract was signed.

CLIP Of The Week



So true. Just recently I was telling my 5 year old that when I went to school, we took typing classes. On an actual typewriter. And we had these things called walkmans that played cassette tapes.

Are Premature Wrinkles & Skin Cancer Worth It?


I think NOT. Turning your skin into leather is not attractive. And the older we get, the worse it looks.

True story:

A man escaped from a tanning bed as it burst into flames, sparking a fire that evacuated a Lake Wylie shopping center and damaged several stores Monday, authorities said.

No one, including the man in the bed, was hurt. But several stores in the Bethel Commons strip mall off S.C. 274 and S.C. 49 suffered smoke damage that will likely keep them closed most of the week, said Bethel Fire Chief Don Love.

Authorities are investigating what ignited the bed at Ultratan.

The man who escaped declined to give his name but said he was working on his tan when he heard a popping noise, then saw a flame at the corner of the tanning bed near his foot. He threw open the lid and jumped out, he said.

When firefighters arrived around 4:15 p.m. "smoke was pouring out of all sides of the building," said Bethel Assistant Fire Chief David Long. By 5:30 p.m. the fire was out and smoke cleared.

Now that's a hot bed.

Like I'm Taking Tanning Advice From Lindsay Lohan


“As much as I love the sun,” says the ever-bronzed Lindsay Lohan, “it is so bad for your skin. I have tried every product on the market and never found something that I loved.”

Until, that is, she met spray tanner Lorit Simon. “She had an amazing tanning formula that over the years we continued to perfect,” Lindsay reveals of the partnership. “It was important to me to have a natural product that didn’t have a lot of dyes and chemicals. Our product has goji berry extract which has antioxidant properties, it has a natural golden color, it doesn’t streak and smells delicious — not like a typical tanning product.”

The $35 spray will become available exclusively in Sephora stores on the first of May — with an early web launch on Sephora.com on April 15.

This is from the upcoming ad campaign. The other pics are perfect examples as to why we should never take tanning advice from LL.

Notice her white feet and ankles.

Her idea of a 'tan' ages her 15 years.

Drew Barrymore Does W


In March it's Madonna and her crotch gracing the cover of one of my favourite publications. A month later and its Drew Barrymore taking to the pages and the cover of W Magazine 's April 2009 issue.

Still waiting for actual models on the covers of my subscriptions. I know I'm not alone. Bring back the model. Let us read about celebrities inside the pages, or better yet, on gossip blogs and People and US Mags.

Drew looks great. Photo shop does wonders. But she is now 34, and has not yet given up that baby voice of hers. I just can't take it. Even when I read her interviews, that voice haunts my head.

I have a family member with that voice. It's excruciating.

Britney Shows Her Bits... Again


Britney Spears suffered an unintentional wardrobe mishap during her show in Tampa, Florida on Sunday (08Mar09) when her leotard ripped, accidentally exposing her naked crotch to the audience.

Failing to realise her microphone was still on, she said, "My pussy was hanging out!" - causing the arena to erupt in laughter. But she refused to let the mishap hold up her set, with Spears completing her costume change and continuing on with the show.
