  • Lara Logan Hospitalized Again For Issues Stemming From Brutal 2011 Arab Spring Gang Rape

    Lara Logan was admitted into a Washington, D.C. area hospital on Tuesday for issues that stem from the sexual assault she sustained while reporting on 2011’s Arab Spring.

    In the midst of celebrations in Tahrir square in Egypt, Lara Logan was purposefully seperated from her crew and bodyguard.

    Lara Logan was then violently assaulted by several men for about 25 minutes before she was rescued by a courageous group of Egyptian women.

    After Lara Logan recovered and was able to give an interview, she said of the attack, “There was no doubt in my mind that I was in the process of dying … I thought not only am I going to die, but it’s going to be just a torturous death that’s going to go on forever.”

    Lara Logan survived, but she continues to battle physical and emotional injuries from the attack.

    In fact, Lara Logan has been hospitalized four times already this year, the most recent being in February when she was admitted for internal bleeding from diverticulitis and digestive problems.

    A friend of Lara Logan’s, Ed Butowsky, told Breitbart, “Very few people know how stoic and incredibly tough this lady is. In spite of everything she’s had to face in the last two years, people have no idea the physical suffering she has been enduring due to the brutal sexual assault she encountered in Egypt during the Arab Spring while reporting for 60 Minutes.”

    He added, “I’ve been in and around this business and people don’t understand how hard reporters work and how much time they put in. Lara, above all of it, has been doing it for four years since this brutal attack and suffering in every way, shape or form. Maybe it’s time for people to realize these people are human beings.”

    What do you think of Lara Logan’s struggle since her brutal attack?

  • Mila Kunis: Not Married Yet, Despite Reports

    Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are not yet married, despite her coy behavior on the Late Late Show With James Corden.

    During the preview for an upcoming episode of James Corden’s new show, Mila Kunis seems to drop the hint that perhaps she had secretly wed Ashton Kutcher.

    However, a source close to Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher says that they were just joking around.

    But it just doesn’t sound like it from the preview.

    It’s just not right for Mila Kunis to keep acting like maybe they got married and maybe they didn’t! I mean, come on.

    In the preview, Mila Kunis attempts to talk about Ashton Kutcher and his daddy chops.

    Mila Kunis said, “He’s an amazing father.”

    To which fellow Late Late Show guest, Tom Hanks, then goes, “You mean your hus…,” trying to lead Mila Kunis into slipping up.

    Then James Corden jumps in and asks Mila Kunis, “Are you married? Did you get married? Have you got married?”

    Mila Kunis demurly replied, “I don’t know. Maybe. Maybe.”

    This might excite some people and give them the impression that Mila Kunis just totally admitted to being Mrs. Mila Kutcher.

    However, we have seen this before, and are not going to fall for it again.

    Back at the beginning of the year, Ellen confronted Mila Kunis about this Facebook photo of Ashton’s that says, “Merry Christmas From The Kutchers”.

    Post by Ashton Kutcher.

    When Ellen asked her if that picture meant that they were married, Mila Kunis responded, “I don’t know, I don’t know. We could just be a plural. My daughter has his last name legally. So thus, there’s multiple Kutchers. He has a brother.”

    What do you think? Did Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher get married or not?

  • Lara Logan, “60 Minutes” Reporter, Hospitalized Due To Issues Stemming From Brutal 2011 Egypt Gang Rape

    Lara Logan was reportedly admitted into a Washington D.C. area hospital again on Tuesday for injuries stemming from a gang rape.

    Lara Logan was seperated from her producer and bodyguard while reporting on the Arab Spring from Tahrir Square in Cairo.

    The statement from CBS at the time read, “Logan was covering the jubilation . . . when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy.”

    It continued, “In the crush of the mob, [Logan] was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers.”

    It is not known what specific injuries landed Lara Logan in the hospital this time around, but this is not the first time even this year that she has been admitted to the hospital due to complications from the attack in Egypt.

    Back in February, Lara Logan was admitted with digestive disease diverticulitis and internal bleeding. A source said then that the condition could have been brought on by stress.

    On Tuesday, Ed Butowsky, a close friend and confidante of Lara and her family, told Breitbart News, “Very few people know how stoic and incredibly tough this lady is. In spite of everything she’s had to face in the last two years, people have no idea the physical suffering she has been enduring due to the brutal sexual assault she encountered in Egypt during the Arab Spring while reporting for 60 Minutes.”

Lara, above all of it, has been doing it for four years since this brutal attack and suffering in every way, shape or form. Maybe it’s time for people to realize these people are human beings.”

  • Roxanne Chalifoux, World’s Saddest Piccolo Player, Plays With The Roots

    Roxanne Chalifoux, also known as the crying piccolo player from Saturday’s NCAA game wherein Villanova got bounced from the tournamnet, has some newfound fame to grapple with now.

    As a senior in the university’s pep band, Roxanne Chalifoux said that she was crying because it was her last time to play with them.

    Roxanne Chalifoux further explained that her only concern was that she didn’t want her dad to see her crying on the Jumbotron.

    “I saw myself on the Jumbotron and all I could think about was that my dad was at the game,” Roxanne Chalifoux said.

    She added, “I didn’t want him to see me crying. Little did I know that it was going to end up all over the Internet and that [my dad seeing me crying] was the least of my worries. It’s just easy to get emotional, especially when you’re a senior. That just changed the game for me.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDeFUp7BD44

    Roxanne Chalifoux’s instant celebrity status did come with a few perks, though.

    On Monday night’s episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Roxanne Chalifoux got to play her piccolo with The Roots!

    Roxanne Chalifoux explained to Jimmy Fallon that her viral internet celebrity status is mindblowing.

    “All I thought I did was cry on national television,” Roxanne Chalifoux said.

    She added, “It’s sort of a funny story…In the beginning, I’m looking up at the Jumbotron so I saw myself on it and all I could think about was my dad was at the game, and I was really—I didn’t want him to see me crying. But, then it turned into like everyone saw me crying!”

    Jimmy Fallon couldn’t hold in his laughter, of course, saying, “Everyone in the whole entire world! But…I loved it! I love the emotion! You should be emotional!”

    Fallon then proceeded to give Roxanne Chalifoux a review of some of the memes that have been circling the internet that feature her with Joe Biden and John Travolta.

    Roxanne Chalifoux even walked away with a gift basket full of ice cream and Tonight Show swag. He even presented her with Taylor Swift tickets!

    Were you sad for Roxanne Chalifoux when you saw her crying?

  • Kym Johnson And Robert Herjavec: Caught Kissing, Still Deny Dating Rumors

    Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec have had to endure rumors of chemistry off the dance floor since this season of Dancing with the Stars began.

    As far as dancing partners go, Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec are really great together.

    But, it is everything but obvious that something is going on between Kym Johnson and her dancing partner.

    In fact, on Saturday TMZ posted a video showing Robert Herjavec planting one on Kym Johnson’s lips and putting his arm around her as they exited Greenblatt’s Deli in Hollywood.

    When asked about their romance, Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec play it down.

    Lame.

    When asked if Kym Johnson had met Robert’s kids yet, he replied, “No. We’re just dancing.”

    Literally right after they were just caught kissing.

    On Monday’s episode, during the pre-taped rehearsal footage, however, it seems Robert is thinking about doing more than dancing with Kym Johnson.

    I hope @islandboynla remembers to take this clip out of my hair before I dance!! @dancingabc #dwts

    Whether or not Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec want to admit that they are in a relationship, Derek Hough is reportedly behind them 100%.

    Hough said of Kym Johnson and her dancing partner, “I think they’re an adorable couple.”

    He added, “Literally when Kym describes the kind of man that she’s looking for, it’s him! She’s like, ‘I need a guy like this and like this’ and I’m like, ‘Yo, that’s him!’ More power to them! I say yay to that.”

    Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec really do make a nice couple, and hopefully they will feel free to come out with their relationship news soon! What do you think of Kym Johnson and her dancing partner as real life partners?

  • Kate Winslet On Not Being Pregnant During “Insurgent” And Working With Shailene Woodley

    Kate Winslet is incredible in Insurgent, the latest in the Divergent film series.

    Playing the villain is not easy as it is, but it was really hard for Kate Winslet to do the job in for the last movie because she was pregnant.

    And Kate Winslet, no matter how famous or fabulous, is subject to pregnancy brain.

    You know what I’m talking about, ladies.

    Kate WInslet, 39, said, “It affects your ability to feel like you’re not actually disappearing. I just didn’t feel very together at all, physically or mentally. I don’t have those great, strong, glowing pregnancies.”

    Winslet added, “It was really wonderful to be in a position where I did have my brain back.”

    It was also apparently wonderful for Kate Winslet to resume working with Shailene Woodley, who has become one of Hollywood’s brightest young stars.

    Kate Winslet said of Woodley, “She has values that are very, very important to her and she lives by them 100 percent. That is very unusual. I don’t think I possessed to that extent.”

    Kate Winslet, who is famously private, stays away from media of all kinds. In fact, she reportedly goes to extremes to be sure there is very little media at all in her house.

    She added, “It’s how I’ve stayed sane. I don’t read reviews. I don’t read magazine articles that I’ve been in. I don’t allow magazines into the home. I just don’t.”

    Kate Winslet isn’t the only one bragging on Shailene Woodley lately.

    After the announcement that the Insurgent star would be honored this year with MTV’s trailblazer award, President of MTV, Stephen Friedman, said, “Shailene Woodley is one of the most talented actresses of this generation.”

    He added, “Whether baring her soul in emotionally charged roles in The Descendants and The Fault in Our Stars or igniting our imagination in sci-fi blockbusters like Insurgent, Shailene has raised the bar for actresses navigating diverse and challenging roles professionally, while personally remaining down-to-earth and accessible to her fans.”

    What do you think about Kate Winslet’s words about her pregnancies and her co-star, Shailene Woodley?

  • Loretta Lynch Confirmation Could Be Stalled Until April

    Loretta Lynch has been waiting since November for her confirmation from the Senate to become the next attorney general.

    In a bid to force the Senate to complete their consideration of a controversial sex trafficking bill which reportedly includes language on abortion, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has pledged to hold off on Loretta Lynch’s confirmation until that can be accomplished.

    The problem for Loretta Lynch is that the Senate is set to debate the budget next week and to leave for a two-week Easter recess the following week. Therefore, Lynch’s confirmation vote could be delayed until April.

    With the stall on Loretta Lynch’s confirmation, as usual, came accusations of racism. In fact, last week Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, who happens to be the second most powerful Democrat in the chamber, said Republicans were making Loretta Lynch, the first black female attorney general nominee “sit in the back of the bus.”

    However, prominent Republican senator John McCain says that this is not the case at all.

    John McCain said of stalling the confirmation of Loretta Lynch, “This has nothing to do with race.”

    He added, “It has everything to do with trying to get legislation through which would prevent, or help prevent, this horrible issue of sexual trafficking that is going on. And also I will add to that, I will not vote for her because she has said she would uphold the President’s unconstitutional executive orders concerning immigration.”

    This seems to be the common thread among conservative Republican senators.

    However, despite the delays, Democrats, and some Republicans like Rudy Giuliani, are confident that Loretta Lynch will have no problem in being confirmed as our next attorney general.

    Giuliani said that Loretta Lynch has “very substantial expertise in national security.”

    He also said that Loretta Lynch makes decisions on merit, that she is not a political operative, and that she truly deserves to be confirmed.

    Giuliani also said, “As you all know, I am a Republican and I think I could probably be described as a very dedicated Republican. I find Loretta Lynch not only to be an acceptable appointment, I find her to be an extraordinary appointment.”

    What do you think about the stall in Loretta Lynch’s confirmation?

  • Brittany Kerr Becomes Mrs. Jason Aldean

    Brittany Kerr Becomes Mrs. Jason Aldean

    Brittany Kerr tied the knot with country singer Jason Aldean over the weekend.

    On Saturday, Brittany Kerr and Jason Aldean got married in Mexico.

    The couple’s friends and family joined them for the celebration.

    Among the guests were Aldean’s daughters from his previous marriage, Keeley 12, and Kendyl, 7.

    Also attending Brittany Kerr and Jason Aldean’s big day were Duck Dynasty star Willie Robertson and many others.

    You may recall that Brittany Kerr is the girl that Jason Aldean was spotted kissing in 2012 while he was still married to his first wife, Jessica Ussery.

    In 2013, Jason Aldean filed for divorce and started dating Brittany Kerr out in the open shortly after.

    Despite their somewhat scandalous beginning, Brittany Kerr and Jason Aldean are obviously head over heels and were ready to make the commitment.

    “This is the best day ever — I’ve got my girl here, my friends, my family — it’s the best day ever!” Aldean, 38, told Us Weekly in a statement.

    Brittany Kerr, 27, added, “Today has been the best day of my life. I feel like the luckiest woman to have been able to marry my best friend.”

    Brittany Kerr and Jason Aldean threw a memorable engagement party back in January at Nashville’s swanky Citizen Club.

    Luke Bryan and Eric Church, both of whom collaborated with Jason Aldean on the song “The Only Way I Know”, were there to celebrate Brittany Kerr and Jason Aldean.

    In addition to Bryan and Church, Aldean’s mother, Debbie Wood, his stepmom, Vivian Williams, and his sister, Kasi Morstad also joined in the fun.

    Of course, Brittany Kerr’s mom, Debi Kerr, and grandmother, Louvada Barbee, among other members of her family, were there to welcome Jason Aldean to the clan.

    What do you think of Brittany Kerr’s marriage to Jason Aldean?

  • Holly Madison Will Release Tell-All Book About Life With Hef

    Holly Madison is set to release a book about her life as Hugh Hefner’s number one bunny and her life inside the Playboy mansion.

    The book by Holly Madison is rumored to illuminate the not-so-glamorous aspects of Holly Madison’s life as she rose to rule in the Playboy mansion, filmed Girls Next Door, and shared Hugh Hefner’s bedroom.

    A press release for Holly Madison’s book, which is called Down the Rabbit Hole, said, “…What seemed like a fairytale life inside the Playboy Mansion—including A-list celebrity parties and her own #1-rated television show for four years—quickly devolved into an oppressive routine of strict rules, manipulation, and battles with ambitious, backstabbing bunnies.”

    It continued, “Life inside the notorious Mansion wasn’t a dream at all—and quickly became her nightmare. After losing her identity, her sense of self-worth, and her hope for the future, Holly found herself sitting alone in a bathtub contemplating suicide.”

    Holly Madison’s book will also give a glimpse into what it was like for her to live with the other “girls next door”.

    “In this shockingly candid and surprisingly moving memoir, this thoughtful and introspective woman opens up about life inside the Mansion, the drugs, the sex, the abuse, the infamous parties, and her real behind-the-scenes life with Bridget, Kendra, and, of course, Mr. Playboy himself.”

    Sounds interesting. Of course, Holly Madison lives a very different life now.

  • Ted Cruz Announces Presidential Run

    Ted Cruz Announces Presidential Run

    Ted Cruz became the first presidential candidate to throw his hat in the ring.

    Just after midnight, Ted Cruz posted the announcement to Twitter.

    The video that he posted in the tweet features Ted Cruz speaking as as images of farm fields, city skylines and American landmarks and symbols played in the background.

    Ted Cruz said, “I believe in America and her people, and I believe we can stand up and restore our promise. It’s going to take a new generation of courageous conservatives to help make America great again, and I’m ready to stand with you to lead the fight.”

    As a grassroots tea party favorite, Ted Cruz quickly established himself as an uncompromising conservative who was willing to take on Democrats and Republicans after his election to the Senate in 2012.

    Since then, Ted Cruz has made some radically conservative moves, like supporting a government shutdown in order to try to block Obama’s health care law funding and forcing a vote against Obama’s executive action on immigration. These moves were criticized by more moderate Republicans.

    In fact, Utah Republican Senator Orrin Hatch said at the time, “You should have an end goal in sight if you’re going to do these types of things and I don’t see an end goal other than irritating a lot of people.”

    However, to many, those bold moves were exactly what was called for in a time of desperation. While they both failed to achieve the goal, Ted Cruz was branded a man who wasn’t afraid to stand up for what is right.

    The former head of the Tea Party Express, Amy Kremer, said that Ted Cruz’s announcement will cause the Republican pool of candidates to “take a quantum leap forward” adding that it “will excite the base in a way we haven’t seen in years.”

    What do you think about Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential announcement?

  • Harrison Ford To Narrate Documentary About Airplanes

    Harrison Ford will be teaming up with National Geographic to narrate a documentary called Living in the Age of Airplanes.

    The question is, will Harrison Ford be up to narrating a documentary about airplanes since he’s likely still recovering from an accident earlier this month in his own airplane?

    The 72-year-old Indiana Jones star crashed his vintage 1942 Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR into a golf course after the engine failed shortly following takeoff.

    There was quite a bit of damage to Harrison Ford’s airplane, and Harrison Ford himself suffered some impressive injuries.

    However, Harrison Ford’s got the passion for aviation that will make him a really good choice for the narration.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LjxieNRgG0

    Harrison Ford owns several aircraft and has been active with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and the Experimental Aircraft Association.

    Also, Harrison Ford has had plenty of experience since he got his pilot’s license in the late 1980’s. He has also served as a spokesman to various airline associations.

    Harrison Ford has also used his flying skills for feats of heroism.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz3ggUbHNTE

    In 2001, Harrison Ford rescued a local missing boy scout in his helicopter and shortly before that had rescued a sick mountain climber near Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

    Harrison Ford also volunteeres his services during the local forest fire season. He steps in sometimes to help when rescue helicopters are busy fighting blazes.

    Harrison Ford has said his rescues “had nothing to do with heroism.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guy8RMt0Uds

    He added, “It had to do with flying a helicopter. That’s all.”

    Such modesty, Indie! Who knew Harrison Ford was a real life hero?

    Harrison Ford’s National Geographic narration project, Living in the Age of Airplanes, will premiere April 8th at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, then will open two days later in other IMAX and similar locations.

    What do you think of Harrison Ford’s new project?

  • Lisa Kudrow Is Number One On Jim Parsons’ “Big Bang” Guest Wish List

    Lisa Kudrow has made somewhat of a name for herself since Friends shut down a decade ago.

    As one of the industry’s funniest and most laid back stars, Lisa Kudrow has landed some really interesting parts.

    One of her best is in The Comeback. After Friends ended, Lisa Kudrow dove right in to make The Comeback, an HBO mock-reality show about a fictional, minor TV star, Valerie Cherish, which lasted only one season.

    Though the show’s ratings were not great, critics and rabid fans alike loved the show.

    That must be why, 10 years later, Lisa Kudrow is back with a second season of The Comeback on HBO.

    The hour-long #theComeback finale is tonight at 10p on @HBO! #cherish thank you all!!

    A photo posted by Lisa Kudrow (@lisakudrow) on

    Lisa Kudrown said of the hilarious show and its quirky humor, “I was definitely inspired by The Office because that’s my favorite type of humor: the awkward.”

    She added, “We wanted to bring in the reality-show aspect to comment on the amount of humiliation everyone seems to be OK about signing up for. We thought there’s something disastrous about this for our society when it’s: ‘Good for you, you’ve humiliated yourself.’”

    Lisa Kudrow also said, “We’re all still here. But there’s a different standard for acceptable behavior. It’s much lower.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYxJwqj3jdU

    It is likely because of her dedication to funny, relaxed comedy, as well as her sensible outlook on life that Lisa Kudrow has earned a number one spot on Jim Parsons‘ Big Bang Theory guest wish list.

    He said, “I still want to work with Lisa Kudrow. I’ve always thought about her for the show.”

    Jim Parsons added, “I don’t know what part – I guess I’d leave that for the writers – but I’m a big fan of hers and I would love to have her on.”

    What do you think? Would you love to see Lisa Kudrow in a part on The Big Bang Theory? What part would you give her?

  • Kat Von D Says “Underage Red” A Good Name For Lipstick

    Kat Von D is making no aplologies.

    After Kat Von D released a new shade of lipstick in her collection called “Underage Red”, there was a tremendous outcry from the public about the insinuation she might be making with the name.

    Critics of the name slammed Kat Von D for sexualizing kids and even promoting promiscuous behavior.

    The tattooed and super successful entrepreneur has never been one to back away from a fight, so she chose instead to defend herself and her right to name a lipstick shade whatever she wants to.

    In a Facebook post earlier this week, Kat Von D explained the origin of the name, but made no apologies.

    Please find my official response to the UNDERAGE RED controversy: facebook.com/katvond

    A photo posted by Kat Von D (@thekatvond) on

    Post by Kat Von D.

    In part of that post, Kat Von D stated, “It has NEVER been a goal of mine to inspire sexualization of any sort, let alone promote a destructive lifestyle. Anyone who knows or follows me, is very aware of my personal lifestyle choices which include celibacy, sobriety, conscious living and [above feminism], human rights.”

    She continued, “Although, I would never force my views and opinions onto others, I most definitely find it offensive being accused of the opposite.”

    And at the end, Kat Von D makes one thing clear, saying, “So, NO. I refuse to sacrifice my integrity and creative freedom. NO. I will not be pulling ‘Underage Red’ from my collection. And NO. This is not an apology.”

    This is not the first time that Kat Von D has been under fire for the name of one of her lipsticks. In 2013, a shade called “Celebutard” was removed from store shelves after complaints were made.

    Kim Stagliano, managing editor at Age of Autism, in the HuffPost Style blog, said at the time, “People with disabilities are the last to benefit from what some might call ‘political correctness,’ and what I would call basic human decency.”

    She added, “Retard is still bandied about.”

    What do you think about Kat Von D’s shade of “Underage Red”? Do you find it offensive or suggestive?

    Some might say Madonna‘s tour for 2015 is pretty crowded for a 56-year-old, but Madonna is no normal 56-year-old, obviously.

    But, at least Madonna’s 2015 tour is only three months long. Perhaps it won’t be too much.

    According to Us Weekly, however, there a few facts about Madonna that would be fun to know before attending a show on her 2015 tour.

    For one thing, you may not hear her early smash hit, “Material Girl”. That is her least favorite song out of her entire catalogue.

    I bet you didn’t know that Madonna is dying to go on a date with Drake!

    However, she’d probably settle for 79-year-old French actor Alain Delon.

    Madonna said, “The last time I was starstruck was when Alain Delon called me while I was in Copenhagen during my last tour. I was trying to get him to do an onstage cameo during a small show in Paris. I was shaking because I love him so much! I never met the dude and only knew him from movies.”

    She added, “He was my ridiculous teenage crush.”

    So fun to know some facts about Madonna before her 2015 tour kicks off! Will you be going to one of her shows?

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Moved To Rehab Facility

    Bobbi Kristina Brown was moved from Emory University hospital to a nearby rehabilitation center on Thursday, prompting some to speculate that perhaps there was some improvement in her condition.

    TMZ reported that the move of Bobbi Kristina Brown from hospital to rehab came after doctors tried to remove life support and see if she would respond.

    However, Bobbi Kristina Brown did not respond and reportedly remains in the same condition that she has been in since being found unconscious and face-down in her bathtub on January 31st. She is in a medically induced coma.

    The rehab facility is reportedly better equipped for long term care.

    Doctors tried earlier on to slowly reduce Bobbi Kristina Brown’s coma medications, but she suffered severe seizures as a result.

    Last month, doctors at Emory removed her breathing tube from her throat and moved it to her neck.

    Dr. Sanjay Gupta said the move suggested she would need to be on that kind of support for “weeks and months to come, as opposed to hours and days.”

    Another aspect of the tragedy that remains is the feud between Bobbi Kristina Brown’s boyfriend, Nick Brown, and pretty much the entire Brown/Houston family.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown’s aunt Leolah has even publicly accused Nick Gordon of having something to do with Bobbi Kristina Brown’s tragedy.

    In a post on Facebook, Leolah refers to an episode of Dr. Phil in which Nick Gordon claims he had nothing to do with Bobbi Kristina Brown’s incident and that he loves her and is suffering terribly while waiting for her to wake up.

    Nick Gordon, while now in rehab at the insistence of Dr. Phil, waged his battles via Twitter.

    Hopefully, moving Bobbi Kristina Brown to a new facility might shed some new light on what can be done to help her.

  • Liza Minnelli Ready To Get Back To Work

    Liza Minnelli checked herself into rehab recently, and is getting the help she needs.

    As an iconic singer, Liza Minnelli has always struggled with substance abuse. In fact, Minnelli has been in and out of rehab since the 80’s, with her last stint being in 2004.

    Her rep said, “Liza Minnelli has valiantly battled substance abuse over the years and whenever she has needed to seek treatment she has done so. She is currently making excellent progress at an undisclosed facility.”

    Her spokesperson, Scott Gorenstein, said, “It’s no secret she has dealt with this for years. And when she felt the need to seek help again, she did.”

    A source close to Liza Minnelli updated People on her progress on Saturday, stating “Liza is doing very well in rehab and coming along fine.”

    That is no surprise, since the resilience of Liza Minnelli is well known. However, the surprising part is that Minnelli is ready to get back to work!

    The 69-year-old is still in the recovery process, but Liza Minnelli already has some new projects on her mind.

    The source said Liza Minnelli is “so eager to get out and go back to work, she is busy arranging her next projects.”

    And just what are those next projects that Liza Minnelli is desperate to get back to?

    Gorenstein revealed that Liza Minnelli is ready to work on an upcoming concert series! That seems like a lot to take on for someone battling alcohol addiction, but she is up for it.

    Of course, it’s not about the money. Liza Minnelli simply thrives on performing. Some might say it’s her therapy.

    In fact, Liza Minnelli was offered half a million dollars to do Celebrity Rehab, but she turned it down.

    What do you think about Liza Minnelli’s most recent stint in rehab and her immediate plans to get back on stage?

  • Eva Mendes May Be Right About Sweatpants

    Eva Mendes May Be Right About Sweatpants

    Eva Mendes made the news this past week when, during an interview, she insisted that women should never wear sweatpants.

    Of course, Eva Mendes wouldn’t dare wear them often, because if you’re going to be living with Ryan Gosling, a girl needs to do anything to keep that situation going.

    However, the rest of the world didn’t agree with Eva Mendes.

    There was tremendous outcry from those of us who wear the mom staple on a regular basis.

    The outrage prompted Eva Mendes to post a note to her own sweatpants and to claim that he statement was a joke.

    Ryan Gosling backed his ladylove.

    However, the joke being what it was, and the outcry dying down, Time magazine’s Brian Moylan introduced another perspective.

    And it was spot on.

    Moylan said, “When I heard what Mendes had to say, what I heard was not ‘sweatpants’ and ‘divorce’ but something more along the lines of, ‘If you let yourself slide in your relationship, it’s going to spell trouble.’”

    He continues, “The sweatpants could be anything. The ‘sweatpants’ are a guy who doesn’t bother ironing his shirt anymore before date night. The ‘sweatpants’ are no longer making the bed even though your partner prefers hospital corners. The ‘sweatpants’ are not waiting for your spouse to catch up on House of Cards so that you can finish staring at Robin Wright’s perfect hair together. The ‘sweatpants’ are not bringing flowers home or not having sex regularly or gaining 20 pounds or peeing with the door open or buying your partner a present just because.”

    I think what Moylan said about Eva Mendes’ comments really captured an actual problem that many people who have been together for a long time will face.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFlPEdxGJ6k

    This really is more likely what Eva Mendes meant, anyway.

    He continued, “The sweatpants are familiarity and the contempt that they breed. Familiarity is one of the great things about being in a long-term relationship, the possibility to be so comfortable around another person that you can just be yourself. But it’s also dangerous territory. The problem is when your real self is sometimes a little bit less desirable than the ideal version of you that your partner saw in your first few months of courtship, when the emotion was high and those intoxicating love hormones in your brain were freely flowing.”

    He added, “That’s why, sometimes, we have to give up our comfort and do something a little special for our significant other.”

    So well said. It’s so amazing when a comment taken out of context can set the internet on fire, cause everyone to lose their minds, and come full circle to find new life as great relationship advice.

    What do you think about this perspective of Eva Mendes comments?

  • Kate Gosselin Accused of Abusing Her Eight Children

    Kate Gosselin has her hands full being a single mother with custody of her eight children with her ex, Jon Gosselin.

    According to court documents recently released detailing Jon’s fears and observances concerning Kate Gosselin, it may be too much for her to handle.

    The documents, dating back to 2010 right after their nasty divorce, accuse Kate Gosselin of a number of things including abandoning her kids with a teenage babysitter for days at a time and sending moldy food in their school lunches.

    The documents shed some light on Jon Gosselin’s fear for his kids in Kate Gosselin’s care.

    In his “Father’s Statement of Issues”, there are allegations of various forms of abuse by Kate Gosselin.

    It says, “On Tuesday, October 19, 2010, while bathing Leah, Father found large red welt on her read end. Later explained that it was from Mother, after Leah bit Hannah…Several children have come forward to Father complaining that they get hurt when Mother spanks them.”

    The documents go on to say, “While Father would prefer that Mother not physically discipline the children, if Mother is going to do so, she should not do so to the point of leaving marks on the children.”

    The documents also accuse Kate Gosselin of neglect.

    It said, “Children must be properly dressed for weather. On Wednesday, October 20, 2010, Father attended field trip with Hannah, Joel, Leah, and Aaden. Boys were dressed in cowboy boots and girls were dressed in Ugg boots.”

    It continued, “Ground was cold and wet and children slipped and got shoes dirty. Boys were dressed in pants and sweatshirt, with no undershirt or coat. It was 39 degrees that morning and children complained of being cold.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90wkRrDj_uM

    The accusations against Kate Gosselin include more direct and disturbing complaints, as well.

    Those documents state, “Father has requested that he be given the option of caring for the children when Mother is unable to care for the children overnight during her custodial time.”

    They added, “Recently, Mother traveled with the two older children for six days and left the six younger children in the care of a 19-year-old babysitter. Father was available, however, Mother refused to let the children stay with father and/or allow Father to stay in her home with the children.”

    And even worse than that, Kate Gosselin is accused of locking children in their rooms and refusing to let them out, as well as packing old, and sometimes moldy, food in their lunches if they don’t eat it the first time.

    The documents say, “Mother must provide FRESH lunch each day for children. It has been observed by Father, and said by children that when they do not eat an item in their lunch, Mother packs that exact item the next day, and the next day until they eat it. Hannah reported having moldy strawberries, and Alexis said her sandwich is stale. Leah said she had some food left over from lunch for many weeks. This is unhealthy.”

    It’s beyond me, as well. But, it’s intriguing and raises some questions.

    What a mess. Do you believe the accusations that have been lobbed at Kate Gosselin in these court documents?

  • Dolly Parton Doesn’t Always Wear Pants At Home

    Dolly Parton, America’s ageless country music sweetheart, is celebrating the 30th anniversary of her Tennessee theme park, Dollywood.

    As the namesake and focus of Dollywood, Dolly Parton made some special announcements on local news just before the park’s opening this weekend.

    Dolly Parton revealed that the park will be making 30 major announcements this year in honor of the 30th anniversary. It seems a few of them have to do with a concert series starring some of her closest friends.

    “We don’t know exactly who’s coming now, but we’ve put the word out so they can work it into their schedules. We’re going to be announcing some other big stars coming in really soon.”

    She added, “They’ll be announcing several new things, they got surprises for the guests, and we got a whole lot of great things, so it’s going to be a whole year of celebration.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdkGsUmhnoU

    The first will be Dolly Parton herself, and the series will reportedly end with none other than Kenny Rogers. They are hoping to raise money with the concert series for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

    Another expected announcement will be about the new DreamMore Resort that will feature more than 300 rooms and hotel suites.

    Dolly Parton also mentioned a new attraction for Dollywood.

    “Supposedly it’s the most expensive one yet,” Dolly Parton said, “which means it will be the best one this year. That announcement is coming real soon.”

    Amidst all of the excitement for Dollywood’s 30 year anniversary, Dolly Parton also had time to weigh in on the Eva Mendes sweatpants scandal.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vj3Bb9aCvA

    Dolly Parton said, “I don’t think I’ll be getting a divorce anytime soon because I either wear tight pants or no pants.”

    She added, “I’ve been married for 48 years, and I try to always fix up for him. I don’t want to go home and just be a slouch for him. We really have a good time. We plan our special little things, but we’re very comfortable with each other also, so if we did wear sweatpants that be okay.”
