Sometimes I think Oprah’s a little TOO mushy, but when I saw what she was doing for these girls, I really was touched. I think she’s sharing her wealth in many, many ways, both advertised and not. I’m sure she spends plenty of money on charitable causes here in the US. Such as the Katrina victims and others that I have heard mentioned on her show teasers. (I can’t watch her show as I am still at work when it comes on). Just because she’s spreading money in other parts of the world too doesn’t mean she’s not helping people here. And besides that…it’s her BILLIONS…she can do what she wants with it. As for the beauty salons Dave, if you had seen the special on the opening of the school, you would have seen the harsh back grounds these young girls came from. I don’t think having their hair and nails done is going to turn them into anorexic models, but it just might boost their self-esteem and give them a little more confidence in themselves.

Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has laughed off reports claiming she is suffering from anorexia, insisting her slender figure is the result of healthy eating and plenty of exercise. The Chicago star, 38, is baffled by the rumors of an eating disorder, and admits even her husband Michael Douglas was amused by the reports. They need to leave her alone, what if she’s looking slimmer, it’s her body and there’s nothing ya’ll can do about it. Who ever made up this story, I have to say has very bad taste and senses. When the stars put on some slightest of weight there are cries that she is not taking care and has an eating disorder and too plum to land a movie role and all sorts of stories then when she pays attention and reduces some weight to get into shape and satisfy all our concern we won’t let her live in peace. People will say OMG she is suffering with anorexic disease and her bones are probably visible and she needs to do this and that. For heaven sake guys why can’t we simply praise her for her absolutely gorgeous looks?

Here’s what people do when they say something wrong. They do another interview or release a statement trying to make themselves look good again. But alas, it’s just too late.

John Rich of country music duo Big & Rich recently had an interview with The Tennessean regarding gays and lesbians which was really big on the hate. Here’s what he says now: “My earlier comments on same-sex marriage don’t reflect my full views on the broader issues regarding tolerance and the treatment of gays and lesbians in our society. I apologize for that and wish to state clearly my views. I oppose same-sex marriage because my father and minister brought me up to believe that marriage is an institution for the union of a man and a woman. However, I also believe that intolerance, bigotry and hatred are wrong. People should be judged based on their merits, not on their sexual orientation. We are all children of God and should be valued and respected.”

Of course it went well. Deep down, Britney is still hoping for reconciliation. She loves that man, and values his opinion. It really is too bad that he was greedy it didn’t work out. i think all this talk of her having ADHD is just her docs wanting to put a label on her “condition” so they can prescribe her more drugs. Home girl is heartbroken, and doesn’t know how to raise kids on her own (like she wants so desperately to do) she doesn’t want to need anyone, but she does. We all need help. She’s lost and been stripped of the one thing she felt was real - her love for this man. But, in the end, shit happens and you HAVE to regain control of your life, regain your individuality, for yourself and your children. If you don’t - you will just end up being a product of your surroundings. a la taco bell, starbucks, bad weaves, cigarettes, cars, paparazzi…. WHERE’S YOUR VALUE BRIT? Where’s the meaning in your life? What matters to you? Figure that out and build from there. Everything else is superfluous and will pass in time.

Mariah Carey was in New York City a few days ago, selling herself at a really steep price. Actually, she was selling her debut fragrance ‘M by Mariah Carey’ at a really steep price.

As always, the 38-year old diva was dressed in her best daytime look which can be confused with her night out on the town look which looks like her album promotion look which is identical to her shooting a video look which is also similar to her red carpet look. She has a lot of looks that look alike and now they can smell alike too.

We all know Jennifer Lopez is not gonna receive any baby gifts from her ex-Ben Affleck because well, umm…he sorta doesn’t like her, but another ex that is really excited about J.Lo’s baby bump is Diddy. Look who’s talking here, it’s none other than Sean Diddy, and firstly she hasn’t yet confirmed that she is pregnant yet we have celebs speaking about her pregnancy and an ex-boyfriend speaking about it could not be the best thing she would like. Diddy is a brat to the core, this moron has left many girls pregnant and thereafter has later said that he is willing to take care of the girl and kids as his own. I wonder in the next 2 years how many more kids he will be accepting as his own. I know he doesn’t have to bother about the financial part coz he has a fortune that will take care of the kids needs but why would any woman want to share a bed with him if at all she has character. Jennifer has it and that’s why she dumped him.

At least Foxy Brown has been able to engage in her usual pastimes while behind bars.
The Ill Na Na rapper was relegated to 76 days of solitary confinement on Oct. 16 after scuffling with another inmate and exhibiting behavioral issues at Rikers Island, where she’s currently serving a year for probation violation. This idiot goes to jail for her “explosive behavior” and not following the judges orders. Hmmm, sound familiar? If she’s going to be disruptive while she’s in JAIL, she deserves solitary confinement. When she does get out, she’ll probably go right back in and that’s where she belongs until she doesn’t learn to control her temper. This dumb girl so called stupid full time singer needs a psychiatrist, and also a few horse tranquilizers. Hey! If it’s good enough for Paris Hilton, then it’s certainly good enough for Foxy Brown. Makes me want to gag just saying her name.

What is it with stars not being in their own home? But I guess it’s a somewhat fortunate incident that they’re not there during a state of emergency.

Country music star and Malibu resident Tanya Tucker wasn’t in Malibu during the wild brush fire. She was currently in Las Vegas but she did take time to call in to KCOP-TV in Los Angeles. Apparently, her 18-year old daughter was in the house and had to be evacuated from the home along with their four dogs. Her daughter told her that the scene was “very chaotic”.

Tanya goes on to say that all her stage clothes were in the house and that firemen had been “dumping water on our house” to try and salvage it.

Britney Spears has regained visitation privileges with her two sons. Great. She’s free to be a bad mother again until she gets stripped of those privileges within the next week.

The perennial law breaker who recently had all visitation privileges stripped after a complete disregard of judge’s orders was seen driving around the Studio City section of Los Angeles on Saturday with her kids along with a court-appointed monitor.

Does this mean she got another drug test already which means she actually answered her phone? Gee, how much special treatment can one person get? They should just test her everyday!

I think that the fact that J.K. Rowling incorporated a character that is attributed with an alternative life style is an important maneuver. It is an encamping move. And the series may once have been aimed towards children, but can one really try to hide behind the “its a children’s book” after the scenes in the past two books? I think not! The people that are reading this book at this point are teenagers and young adults, 16+. The people who actually have to be concerned with things such as sexual identity. A good example of this is say, a 16 year old male is a homosexual, but does not understand the feelings that he is having, would it not be comforting for this teen to have a familiar icon with the same preferences? This was a very good move. It has nothing to do with publicity, nothing to do with cash, well maybe a little. But primarily, it is to make the characters more human. It was great for her to reveal that one of the most powerful characters in this series leads an alternative life style. And gays are not mean, what the hell was with that comment?!? That’s just bigoted; you can’t group people together like that. That’s pre Martin Luther king Jr. Status.
