This Makes Me Sad

This new advertisment in which Michael J. Fox pleads with government to allow stem cell research really strikes a chord with me. My father has Parkinson's and it has reduced him to a wheel chair, he can no longer feed himself or speak. It's an ugly disease. Michael was lucky enough to have controversial brain surgery at a young age that helped his tremors for the most part until now. From this ad, it is obvious the disease is taking a toll, but at least he still cares enough about our future to not go down without a fight. No one has a bad thing to say about MJF, a local Vancouver boy, Burnaby to be exact, he's still Canadian although he received dual citizenship in the late 8o's. He always has a smile on his face - just as we like to remember Alex P. Keaton.

Courtney Love Tells Her Mom To Stay Away

Courtney Love would prefer to consider herself an orphan. Courtney, 42, daughter of Hank Harrison and Linda Carroll, claims to of been on her own since the age of 7.

"I don't really have parents. I have never had parents. I haven't spoken to my father in 25 years. My mother claims I have spoken to her, but I haven't. Maybe I spoke to her to say, 'Stay away from me.' "I haven't lived with my mother since I was seven. I was either at boarding school or institutionalised. She first tried to send me to a school for emotionally disturbed children in New Zealand. Because I was conceived by a rape, she had all this crazy stuff in her head."

What a fine job she's done at raising herself to adulthood. Hey Courtney - you crazy.

Set Your VCR's Kids

This Thursday, party girl original Tara Reid will take a seat on the couch next to Rosie on the View for her first co-hosting slot. That is as long as she's sober - you know Barbara won't stand for less. I'm sure we'll all hear about her breast implants, her partygirl image and the fact that she can't get an acting job to save her life. Props to the producers of The View for bringing it down a level to allow Tara the chance. Can't wait.

SAY It Ain't So

There are reports tonight that Kate Moss is carrying the spawn of Pete Doherty. The pair are said to be running to the alter to make it legit. Both have one child each from previous relationships.

Doherty's uncle Phil Michels claims that the singer called him from Italy, where he is touring with Babyshambles, to share the news. "I have spoken to Pete twice about the baby and he has confirmed that Kate is pregnant," Phil told the Sunday Mirror. "They are both delighted and Pete sounded really excited." He added: "That is why they want to get married. Pete told me they want a baby together to cement their marriage. I am made up for them. I wish them every success. They're so happy, they love each other. I can't wait for the wedding - we are just waiting for a date."

Give your head a shake Kate or should I say COKate as some like to call her..... Can anyone explain the attraction? Was he EVER hot? Let's hope this tidbit of gossip is false. She was publically drunk and smoking only two nights ago during a Babyshambles concert in which she joined Pete on stage for a duet.

BOO!

Sir Beckham?

It has a nice ring to it don't you think? David Beckham is on the fast track to becoming a Knight, in honour of his services to British soccer and community work.

An insider tells British newspaper Daily Star, "The Beckhams are already showbiz royalty and now they look set to move a step closer to the real thing.

"It is widely believed Tony Blair will put David forward for a knighthood in the New Year list.

"He was a fantastic skipper and player for England and there's every chance he'll be back. He's also done a tremendous amount for children and the community."

George Says He's Way Too Slutty To Be Prez

George Clooney who has recently campaigned against genocide in the Sudan has been busy squashing rumours he is grooming himself for politics.

He says, "I couldn't run for office. I have slept with far too many women. If I ran for office there would be too many juicy stories dragged up from the past."

Nicole Checked Keith Into Rehab

Just last night, Nicole Kidman checked her new husband, country crooner, Keith Urban in a treatment rehabilitation centre.

“I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me,” said Keith. “One can never let ones guard down on recovery and I’m afraid that I have. With the strength and unwavering support I am blessed to have from my wife, family and friends, I am determined and resolved to a positive outcome.”

The statement doesn't say what exactly he's in rehab for but I found a few articles about his prior cocaine use.

This is from USAWeekend from November 2001 ~

He admits to free-basing cocaine and says his lowest moment came almost three years ago. "I had this house in Nashville where I used to do drugs. It was a really cheap, run-down place. I remember one night crawling around on my hands and knees, looking for these little rocks at 5 in the morning, and I was drenched in sweat. It was the worst."

Three days later, he checked himself into Cumberland Heights, a treatment center in Nashville. The previous months had brought "major chaos in my life. I pushed everybody away. Cocaine kills everything you need: belief and self-esteem. I was fortunate that I had music. But I think what got me out of it was spirituality. I just couldn't do it anymore."

Poor Nicole, she can't catch a break.

CLIP Of The Week

Sorry but "the mountain" won't save you from that jerk you married.

A Rainbow Made Her Do It

We finally have answers as to what happened between everyone's favourite newlyweds. Jessica Simpson spent her third wedding anniversary in Africa on behalf of Operation Smile which helps children with facial deformities.

"I went there on our three-year wedding anniversary. He stayed home. On that day, everything became so clear. "I was in hospitals with all these sick kids, and I was looking at the beauty of this whole different world. I just knew I needed to find something more in my life - on my own. "I prayed, then looked up at the sky, and I'd never seen this before - it was a double rainbow. It was the most gorgeous thing ever. "From that moment on, I've listened to Judy Garland's Somewhere Over The Rainbow every single day." Soon after Simpson returned home, she told Lachey she wanted a divorce. She adds, "At some point we realised that everything is not what we expected it to be, as hurtful as that may be."

BAG Of The Week

Mischa Wants Normal

Mischa Barton tells UK Vogue Magazine ~

"I have dated actors and I have to say it's a very odd experience. It's a little unsettling to be with someone who cares about how they look as much as you do. I would have to have a guy with humour and a sense that they are comfortable with themselves."

Could of fooled me. There is no way in hell she looked in the mirror before heading out last night looking like THIS. She had perfectly lovely hair before. Her 'highlights' or should I say streaks looks cheap and the bangs.....ugh. I'm a big hater of bangs. When I see bangs I think - "zit blocker".

Will Work For Food

Tori Spelling is looking to put her $800,000 US inheritance to good use. Tori and her new husband, Dean McDermott, are looking at property in Temecula, California in hopes of investing in a Bed & Breakfast in which the pair would run. They intend to live in the home and rent rooms to tourists and hopefully capture it all on film for a new reality show. Reps for Tori have confirmed the couple has pitched a reality show idea but would not provide any details.

I wonder what life after riches has been like for poor Tori? Girl hasn't had to lift a finger all her life and now she's going to have to clean up after tourists? There is a god.

She Said It

Being beautiful can be a curse, especially if you want to be an artist and create.

I would never get a boob job. Those big-titted girls by the hotel poolsides? You just want to spit-shine them.

I think I can be beautiful with all the little stuff done, and I can be ugly. A lot of attractive actresses can't be ugly.

Fame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You can't just say, 'hi'. You say hi and people whisper' man did you see the way she said hi? What an attitude.

I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.
