Brooke Mueller
Yesterday the only news out there about Brook was that she was in intensive care for oral surgery. Most of us would assume that was a crock to delay a court hearing or due to some type of injury. More details were released today. Apparently, Brook had emergency surgery to remove her wisdom tooth and her mouth became infected. The infection spread and she now has pneumonia in both lungs. This poor woman- will it ever end? The hearing that was scheduled to take place tomorrow may be postponed until February 8th due to her illness. Brooke’s attorney Yale Galanter filed an emergency motion allowing Sheen to visit her in the hospital.
Conan O’Brien
Conan’s last show will be Friday. Many of us are sad about this but I think Conan will be just fine. Not only is he going to receive a severance pay of 32.5 million dollars, he is now for sale to any other network that wants to scoop him up and will get paid regardless of whether or not he finds a new gig. The Tonight Show staff will receive a severance of $7.5 million and the executive producer will get $4.5 million. I haven’t seen Conan’s show in so long because I’ve been too busy to stay up that late but I’ll have to check out the last one on Friday. I’m sure it will be great but a little sad for his fans.
Two and a Half Men in Danger of Turning into 1 ½?
Actor John Cryer alerted authorities that he thought his ex-wife hired a hit man and was planning to have him murdered. The FBI has been on the case and John is starting to feel more comfortable that this was merely a threat. Wow. Charlie Sheen beats his wife and Cryer’s ex-wife wants him taken out. Cryer has been involved in a custody battle with his ex for some time. If the threat is valid, perhaps he and Brooke Mueller should run away together and hire a boatload of bodyguards to stand outside their house until these people are out of their lives for good… just a thought.
Celebrity Child Beater
Markice “Kesan” Moore previously on the MTV reality show From G’s to Gents is out on bail after being accused of beating his one year old daughter and breaking her bones. This guy is out on $20,000 cash bail and living it up after hurting a helpless child. Come on people. Put this scumbag in prison and feed him to the wolves. Let him get a little taste of his own medicine. How do abusers like this get to walk out of jail? Moore was taken in because he was accused of breaking both of his daughter’s arms, three ribs and her collarbone but claims he is only accountable for her wrist breaking because she “fell out of her bed”.
Pants on the Ground
Larry Platt who auditioned on American Idol and sang his original song Pants on the Ground is getting a lawyer. He is happy that his song became popular and that people everywhere are singing his catchy tune but now that it’s popular, he wants to make some cash out of the deal. Platt never copyrighted his hit so he is attempting to do so now. Platt likes Brett Favre’s rendition of his song and is interested in getting together with him to record a duet of the song.
Twilight
The Twilight craze doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. Stephanie Meyer, the author of the novels is joining forces with a group of graphic artists to create a series of comic books with the first of the series being released on March 16, 2010.
Lindsay Lohan
It seems Lindsay’s hot date for the Vienna Opera Ball coming up next month will be no other than 77-year-old Richard Lugner. Huh? Lugner is notorious for dating younger women and in the past has been seen with stars like Paris Hilton and Nicolette Sheridan. I don’t know how this guy does it. It must be that he is a huge society figure and these women just want to maintain their spot in the limelight because if you’ve seen this guy, you’d have to agree that it probably has very little to do with attraction.
Simon Cowell Charity for Haiti
Simon will be producing an album that will be on sale and the proceeds will be donated to the earthquake victims in Haiti. He was asked to do this project by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. We don’t have the entire lineup of singers for the album but so far Susan Boyle and Leona Lewis are involved.
Lady Gaga Rocks New York
Gaga has hit the road after recuperating from her spell of exhaustion and impressed her fans with her Monster Ball Tour concert Wednesday night at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Madonna was seen at the concert accompanied by her daughter Lourdes as well as Donald Trump, Sting and more celebrity fans. It looks like Gaga is the new Madonna sporting unique and risqué outfits of her own and pumping out hit after hit, not to mention putting on affordable concerts that are sure to entertain! The proceeds from the concert will be donated to earthquake victims in Haiti.
Celebrity Quotes:
The following celebrities are included in the long list of those who have donated money to Haiti.
“I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. We must act now.”- Wyclef Jean
“It is incredibly horrible to see a catastrophe of this size hit a people who have been suffering from extreme poverty, violence and unrest for so many decades. We understand the first response is critical to serve the immediate needs of countless people who are now displaced from their homes, are suffering trauma, and most require urgent care.”- Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
“I am heartbroken by the catastrophic events of the past six days in Haiti. It is important in times like these that we come together and find ways to help in any way we can.”- Gisele Bundchen
“Small loans make an enormous impact on the lives of Haitian women currently living on less than $3 a day,” the actress said. “And now, more than ever, Haitian women need these capital inputs to help themselves recover from this tragedy in a sustainable way.”- Natalie Portman
“Haiti’s still suffering… I was in New York during 9/11 and the level of disaster isn’t in the neighborhood of what is happening in Haiti, but I just remember feeling nobody really understood. And I worry that young people don’t know enough about what’s going on there.”- Lady Gaga
