| Travis Barker Opens Up About The Loss of A.M. Posted: 29 Aug 2009 05:45 PM PDT
Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker was more than just a friend to DJ A.M., who passed away Friday of a suspected drug overdose. The two were also musical collaborators and both survived that deadly airplane crash that killed four people last year. On Saturday, Barker opened up for the first time about the loss of A.M. He says:
Such a huge loss. Adam was truly one of those people that NO ONE had anything bad to say about. [Image via WENN.] |
| Tragedy Strikes Virginia Tech Yet Again Posted: 29 Aug 2009 05:36 PM PDT
The bodies of two Virginia Tech students were found at Jefferson National Park, 15 miles from the school's campus, on Thursday morning. 18-year-old Heidi Childs and 19-year-old David Metzler's bodies were discovered by police in the parking lot of the park, both with fatal bullet wounds. There are currently no suspects in the homicide case. So, so sad. Virginia Tech has been riddled with tragedy; the campus was the target of a mass killing in April 2007, and just this past January, a student was decapitated in a cafe on campus. Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger penned a letter to VA's students and faculty to not be afraid to ask for support from one another. Writes President Steger: "Once again, this community is visited by senseless violence and tragedy upon aspiring young minds from our campus. I know that many of you likely have complex feelings about now. How can this happen in this area, at this time, to this community?" Here's to hoping the tragic murder is solved sooner than later, if only for the sake of closure for the loved ones of the deceased. |

Damn! Final Destination 3-D and Halloween II went head to head at the U.S. box office this weekend, but which of the two horror flicks came out on top on opening night??? Final Destination 3-D pulled in a whopping $11 mil on Friday night, with Halloween II only earning $7 million! The 3-D horror flick is expected to gross over $25 million by the weekend's close, with the Rob Zombie-directed scary movie's weekend total projected at a dismal $20 million (or less). Did U see either??? |
| Weirdo! Ashley Judd Gets To "Know" Her Classmates Posted: 29 Aug 2009 02:26 PM PDT
So Ashley Judd has started classes at Harvard to receive her Mid-Career Master in Public Administration, but that hasn't prevented the actress from engaging in some very… odd behavior. According to Us Weekly, Judd recently invited a few women from one of her classes to her Boston-home for a "sharing circle." "They assumed it would be a mixer with snacks and drinks," a source revealed to the mag. Makes sense to us! Well, they assumed wrong! Judd coerced the girls into giving personal monologues: "They were instructed to talk about themselves for a few minutes," the insider claims. So weird!!!! After all the girls were finished, Ashley "thanked them for coming and escorted them out." Some mixer! [Image via WENN.] |
| Diana Pays Tribute, In Her Own Way Posted: 29 Aug 2009 01:20 PM PDT
Evan Ross, the 22-year-old son of diva extraordinaire Diana Ross, celebrated his birthday at Guys and Dolls in El Lay on Friday night, but the party turned into a makeshift tribute to Michael Jackson! Evan decided he wanted to celebrate MJ's birthday alongside his own, so the entire crowd sang Happy Birthday to Jackson after singing to Ross! Miz Ross then sang a portion of her son's favorite song from Michael's catalogue, Off The Wall, sources tell us. MJ's mother, Katherine Jackson reportedly phoned Diana to thank Evan for incorporating Michael in his birthday festivities. Touching! [Image via AP Images.] |
| Take A Look, It's In A Book Goodbye! Posted: 29 Aug 2009 12:08 PM PDT
PBS' third longest-running children's series, Reading Rainbow, has come to a close!!! Awww! Reading Rainbow, hosted by LeVar Burton, won over two-dozen Emmys during it's 26-year-run on the network, which has been credited to "[encouraging] kids to pick up a book and to read." So why cancel the show????? According to John Grant, head of content at WNED Buffalo, no one (PBS, WNED, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting) was willing to fork over the $$$$$$ to renew Rainbow's broadcast rights! How disappointing! Yet another tragic loss due to the economic climate! Reading Rainbow, you will be sorely missed. |
| Self-Righteous? Nah! Just Bein' Omarosa Posted: 29 Aug 2009 11:45 AM PDT
Now that Omarosa has piqued the media's interested by dedicating her life to G-O-D, the former reality villain is back to the fame whoring game! Well, of course! In a recent interview with the Apprentice star, Omarosa revealed that she considers Donald Trump a "very good mentor" and the mogul has "always stood by" Omarosa, no matter how many people trashed her. With the decision to receive her doctrine in ministry, Omarosa believes she has the "opportunity… to be obedient and to find out what exactly [her] role is" in life. Nothing wrong with good intentions! During her big blowout with America's Got Talent's Piers Morgan on Celebrity Apprentice, Om realized it was time for a change. "Piers was looking at me like he was going to kill me," she said of one of her many arguments with Morgan. "That's when there's a line, I have kicked the line, stomped the line, crossed it. I mean, his attack towards me, my attacks towards him, going back and forth, it wasn't entertainment anymore." But did former reality star secretly revel in being considered "the bitch"???? "I loved being the villain… There was something so exciting because it was so different, believe it or not, from my real life," Omarosa sheepishly admitted. Do U think she'll fall back into her old tricks???? [Image via WENN.] |
| AJ Langer Gives Birth To A Lord! Posted: 29 Aug 2009 11:45 AM PDT
My So-Called Life's AJ Langer has a lil' Lord on her hands! Langer, who gave birth to Jack Haydon Langer Courtenay on August 16th, is prepping her newborn for the title of "Lord Devon", for which Jack is second in line! AJ's husband, Charlie Courtenay, is the son and heir of the Earl of Devon! Talk about being born into a privileged fam! Langer had no clue about Courtenay's lineage when the two in a Vegas bar back in 2004: "We met in a bar in Vegas… He didn't know I was an actress. I didn't know he had a castle." What a tradeoff! The (former?) actress is prepping a move to Devon. Warning: Beware of Joss Stone! She inhabits those parts. [Photo via Getty Images.] |
| Kelly Preston: "It's Just Too Soon" Posted: 29 Aug 2009 10:30 AM PDT
Kelly Preston has decided against speaking about the death of her 16-year-old son, Jett, at a panel during the California Governor's Conference for Women in October. Preston had originally agreed to discuss life after she and husband John Travolta lost their son earlier this year at the "Grief & Resilience" panel at the Maria Shriver-hosted event. Says Kelly: "It is with my sincere apologies that I must pull out from speaking at [the] conference. I am sorry, but I truly believed that I could do it. Otherwise I never would have said that I could. But I am still deeply in the process of healing, and it's just too soon." So sad. Maria Shriver, who's organizing the event and whose mother Eunice Kennedy Shriver, passed away earlier this month, has given Preston her "complete support and understanding." Shriver says:
Very well said. [Image via WENN.] |
| Recent Breakup With Girlfriend Left DJ AM "Completely Devastated" Posted: 29 Aug 2009 10:00 AM PDT
Sources believe DJ AM's recent breakup with his girlfriend, Hayley Wood, coupled with the post-traumatic stress from his September '08 plane crash may have triggered the former addict to use. AM was said to be "completely devastated" when Wood ended the relationship last week. The DJ was sober for nine years before being found in his NY apartment from an alleged overdose on Friday afternoon, which goes to show how incredibly harrowing a disease addiction is. Our thoughts continue to go out to AM's family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. [Image via WENN.] |
