Mel Loses His Cool At Church

Josh loposer — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 13:03:00 GMT

Is Mel Gibson losing his grip? Mel reportedly freaked out at Sunday services, berating the members of his church for supposedly spreading rumors and gossip about him and his pregnant wife Oksana Grigorieva.

He even threatened to shut the church down if people didn't stop gossiping about his baby mama.

“[His] holier than thou world is falling apart around him — all these years he’s been preaching the good holy word, and now that the wizard’s curtain has been pulled back, we find that Mel hasn’t been practicing what he preaches.”

“He paced back and forth, furiously telling the congregation that he would not stand by and be judged and scrutinized,” the source added.

“Mel got up on his stage — the altar — and went off. He tried to intimidate the parishioners by staring at everyone with his angry eyes. Mel even threatened to shut down the church if people kept gossiping about him.

“The bottom line is that if Mel hadn’t cheated on his wife and gotten his Russian girlfriend pregnant, there wouldn’t be much to gossip about — he created this mess, and now he’s trying to control it.

“He’s definitely feeling the heat for it.”

Sure, some rumors about Mel's erratic behavior in the last few weeks were probably exaggerated, but chastising members of his own weird church? It's really pretty hard to see how that could get taken too out of context.

The weird thing is that he really could shut the church down, because he bankrolls it. Is this not the most egomaniacal thing you've ever heard of?

Hopefully, this news is not true, because that's a terrible example for Mel's 7, soon to be 8, kids. Plus, it's a pretty awful way to start a new family with Oksana.

(just to clarify, the picture above with the fire and Viking hat was not taken while Mel was yelling at churchgoers)

Jade Goody's Boys Lose Another Loved One

trix — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 16:02:00 GMT

Oh, my goodness, I don't think I can take anymore sad news today. Jade Goody's poor little boys lost their great grandfather to suicide yesterday.

He was recently diagnosed with throat and mouth cancer and took his own life. We don't know what the suicide note said, but I can't help but think that he didn't want live through what Jade did.

He left the suicide note on the kitchen table for his family and a gun was found next to his body.

Poor Jeff Brazier, to lose the mother of your children is hard, no matter what kind of relationship you had. But to lose another family member within a few short weeks is just more then anyone should have to bear.

Jeff's rep said that he will wait to tell the boys because, " They are very young and have had more than enough pain in the past few weeks."

Our thoughts go out to the family in their time of loss.

Jade Goody's Boys Aren't Going To The Funeral

trix — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 23:02:00 GMT

Jade Goody's sons are so, understandable distraught over their mothers death that they are not going to attend the planned funeral on the April 4.

Jade's mother Jackiey said, the boys are so young I don't think their broken hearts will be able to bear it. “It’s also about the safekeeping of their memories of their mum for when they are older.”

Jackiey doesn't want the boys to remember the media circus surrounding their mother's funeral. She wants the memories they have to be of her before she was sick. The memories of the joyous childhood that every parent wants for their children.

Two days after the funeral, Jade's last book will be published. It's title is, Jade: Remember Me This Way, and all the profits from the book will go to the Marie Curie Cancer Care. The book has hundreds of photo, Jade's favorite photos that she selected for the book.

Update: Jade Goody's Funeral Arrangements Set

trix — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 21:35:00 GMT

If you are on of the fans of Jade Goody, you'll be happy to hear that the final arrangements for her funeral have been made.

The funeral will take place on April 4. The church service will take place in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, after leaving her home in Upshire, Essex. Now, I'm not sure how far the her home is from the church, but I'm sure there is plenty of room for well wishers to line the roads to say goodbye to Jade. The police have been drafted to help control the crowds, so you know they are expecting you to come say goodbye.

There will be loud speakers and if they re able to erect them, large TV's to air the service. However the funeral will not be televised on a network. The family did draw the line at that.

Jack Tweed, Jade's husband of 1 month, is afraid he may miss the funeral procession and service. He is scheduled to appear in court and may end up back in jail for assaulting a cabbie in May of 2008. Jade expressed her wishes that he be at the funeral and be a second father to her children, she also stated that Jack was a changed man.

Whatever happens, if he ends up in jail or is allowed to attend the funeral, the powers that be have to know that living through Jade's illness and death have changed him. I know I don't know him personally, but I'm willing to bet he has matured a ton in the last six months.

Jade Goody's Supporters Turn Out In Droves

trix — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 11:30:00 GMT

Jade Goody died early Sunday morning and already hundreds of mourners, supporters and fans have left tributes at her home.

The tributes are along the lines of flowers, cards, balloons, and stuffed animals. Though the family has asked for their privacy, to mourn in peace, they do appreciate the outpouring of love for Jade.

Jade's mom Jackiey said that they are overwhelmed by the public reaction of her death. She commented, " It just shows how many people really loved her."

I think that many people have latched on to Jade's story as a chance to grieve for something or someone they have lost.

It's hard not to be strong all the time, I personally need a sad movie or song to evoke tears. I find it's easier to feel for someone else, than to feel my own pain. We can all relate to Jade in some way, whether you are a mother, a daughter, a wife, we've all lost someone dear to us.

Jade Goody - Celebrate My LIfe

trix — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 21:31:00 GMT

Jade Goody's family is planning her funeral. They are taking in to consideration Jade's wishes and are making the final arrangements to make her final wishes come true.

Jade wanted her funeral procession to travel through two different villages on the way to the church. The church service will be watched by attendees outside of the church on TV screens set up for that purpose. I'm sure there will be many there, wanting to be a part of something bigger than us all.

She wanted her funeral to be a "celebration" of the life she led.

So if you were a fan of Jade and even if you weren't, take this time to look around at your loved ones and tell them they mean everything to you. Take time to make your appointment for your scan, take care of yourself. Look at the bright side and remember that the glass is always half full. Live life to the fullest and tell your children you love them each and every day. There isn't time to hold on to grudges and anger, life is to be lived joyfully. Live, love, and laugh every moment you can.

Jade Goody Headed to the Big Screen?

trix — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 12:32:00 GMT

Is there a Jade Goody movie in the works?

It's been reported that "Big Brother" producer Gigi Eligoff, wants to make a movie about Jade's rags-to-riches journey.

She said, "Jade's young, she's got lots of money, she's got two young boys and she's dying. I wouldn't be surprised if her story was turned into a movie."

Max Clifford, Jade's publicist, added that: " [Jade] is a story of our time. She is a girl from Bermondsey who admits she has 'no talent', a limited education and suffered a dreadful childhood. Yet she's world famous."

I've already lived her story through the papers and posts I've written, I don't know if I could watch it all over again on the big screen. It's heart breaking and kills me every time I read about her and her boys. I can only think about how much they will miss her and miss all the things that she would represent in their future.

Jade Goody Wants One Last Hurrah After Doctors Rush To Her Side

trix — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:33:00 GMT

Jade Goody woke up from a deep sleep on Monday evening and wanted a party.

She shouted to her family: "Everyone go and get ready - we'll have one big last party." She told everybody to cheer up and told her mom to put on more makeup.

That has to be so bittersweet for her family. They are happy to see her awake, but know that it's just a matter of time. Jade tells them to put on a happy face, but they have to be smiling through the tears.

The family is staying by her bedside, just to be near her.

The doctors were called to her bedside, either before or shortly after this scene and told the family to prepare for the worst.

Jade's spokesperson told the press, "We do not know how long she has left, we are on the edge of a precipice."

It's like waiting for the other shoe to drop, I don't what I would do in a situation like that. It's painful and heart breaking all at the same time.

Jade Is Struggling to Finish A Book About Her Life and Death

trix — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 22:03:00 GMT

Jade Goody is writing a book about her life and battle with cancer and the imminence of death. She has been working on this book with a writer for the past couple of months, but is now afraid that she won't live long enough to finish it.

She decided to write the cancer diary after receiving the terminal diagnosis late last year. She realized it would be the only time she would get to finish her life story.

It was very important for her to tell her story in her own words, we the media are, after all, the media. The diary is for her sons when they get older, so they know that all she ever wanted to do was love them and provide a future for them.

The book is also for women to know that they aren't alone when facing this disease, they are not suffering alone.

Will Jade Goody Get to Say Goodbye To Shilpa Shetty?

Jade Goody is expecting a visit from her "Big Brother" co-star Shilpa Shetty on Wednesday but Shilpa may not make it in time.

Jade's family is holding on to hope, but knows that she is nearing the end.

Shilpa Shetty and Jade clashed on the set of "Big Brother" but later made amends. Shilpa is hoping to see Jade one last time, because she couldn't attend the wedding because of filming commitments.

I guess she always thought Jade would get better.

Jade Goody Only Has Hours Left To Live

trix — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 01:07:00 GMT

Jade Goody took a turn for the worse Friday night and is said to be unlikely to live through the weekend.

She is tired and in pain and is afraid to fall asleep, lest she not wake up again. Because of this, she is exhausted and has no relief in sight.

A source says, "She only has hours left, her situation worsened so much overnight that it's not looking good to anyone." The police have let Jack's curfew be relaxed in this case of emergency, he is allowed to be at her side 'round the clock.

"She's been crying her eyes out, she's been in floods of tears because she too realises it's nearly the end of the road. The family were told maybe Jade would make it to Tuesday but after such a bad night that's been revised to Monday and maybe sooner."

"She's in a very bad way and has been in so much awful pain. They've given her a lot of medication and she's been in a deep sleep most of the day and hasn't woken up.But Jade's getting weaker and weaker and is looking very pale."

"We all knew it was getting close when she couldn't even raise a smile or give a thumbs-up when she was taken home from hospital on Wednesday. She's gone downhill a lot since then and everyone around her is really upset. Her mum Jackiey is in pieces.Everyone knew this was going to happen, but it's still desperately sad."

Her spokesman, Max Clifford, added: "It's a matter of hours, she's got dramatically worse overnight. Sadly, she's very close to the end."

We've received so many heartfelt comments of love and hope for Jade, we appreciate all of your expressions, thank you! We know that Jade and her family appreciate them as well, please keep them coming. It always help to talk about these situations because they help us face our own fears and mortality.

Jade Goody - A Bright Spot In a Dark World

trix — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:32:00 GMT

Even though her cancer has metastasized and she is losing her vision, Jade Goody had something to look forward to yesterday. Jade went home and was able to spend time with all three of her boys.

Her ex, Jeff Brazier, brought her boys Freddie and Bobby home and her new husband Jack Tweed was there for the whole night, Jade was understandably, "Over the Moon". The police relaxed Jack Tweed's curfew two nights a week which enables the family to be together during this time of her hospice.

Max Clifford, Jade's spokesman, said: "It's the best thing she could have hoped for. Jade was delighted to see them and it gave her a little lift."

Jack will be spending the night on Thursdays and Saturdays. That's a long time in between nights, but at least he will be there during the day to keep her company.

Jade Goody doesn't have many regrets that we know of, but she does have one.

She wishes she could have given Jack his own child. My goodness, that's heartbreaking.

She said that her own boys adore Jack, and he would have been so happy to have to be a dad. She said, "The boys adore him – he was still playing with them at 1am on our wedding away from all his mates. That’s how good he is with them. He’s been a brilliant dad and I’m just sorry I could never give him his own child."

Jade Goody's Attacker Was Praying for Jade

trix — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 21:31:00 GMT

We reported earlier this week that Jade Goody was attacked by a hammer wielding visitor in her hospital room, but now we know it wasn't someone trying to do her harm.

Jade isn't going to press charges against the woman who snuck into her room because, she was praying for her.

The woman didn't have a hammer, but a judge's gavel, not sure why a judge's gavel, but still. The woman was murmuring prayers over Jade and stroking her arm. Um, that to me, is creepy.

I'm guessing the woman was praying for her to get better, which was the same feeling Jade got after hearing the woman's story.

Jade Goody's publicist, Max Clifford conveyed Jade's feelings with the statement, "There will not be any charges. Jade is more aware now about what happened and when I spoke to her this morning she said ”I'm sure the women didn't mean me any harm."

That must have been incredibly scary, waking up with a stranger standing over you, mumbling, with some sort of blunt object. It's no wonder that the hospital beefed up the security around Jade.

Jade Goody Chats With Michael Jackson

trix — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:29:00 GMT

Jade Goody received a surprise phone call from the King of Pop yesterday and it was said to lift her spirits immensely.

Jade and Michael talked for quite a while and a friend said, "She was so excited to speak to the King of Pop that she was able to hold a full conversation with him”.

Jade was promised tickets for her and her family to Michael's UK concerts if she is able to attend. The whole day was really exciting to her, because Jade wished to speak to Michael Jackson before she died.

A friend of Jade's said, “He [ Michael ] learned of Jade’s illness and wanted to lend his support and comfort her at this awful time. When she was told Michael was on the phone her eyes lit up and she mustered all the strength she could to have a chat. It gave her a real boost and hope that she’ll be alive to watch him perform in the summer."

It's nice to know that there are moments of brightness for her in her final days.

Jade Goody Tells Visitors Go Away Christening is on Sunday

trix — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 13:33:00 GMT

Jade's Goody is far to sick to receive many visitors these days. Her visitors are being scaled back because she is under constant sedation since her surgery earlier this week.

Though she does feel a little better she is still not up to seeing her friends.

Jade still wants to be baptized and is planning to do so on Sunday in her hospital bed. The christening will take place in the church at thehopital in front of about 20-30 friends and family.

Sunday is also the first time Jade will see her boys since the operation. I'm sure even in her sedated state she is looking forward to seeing them. These last days and the time she gets to spend with her boys is precious to her.

Mark Wahlberg and His Precious Girl

trix — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 17:29:00 GMT

Mark Wahlberg and his 5 year old Ella Rae checked into the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. She's a cutie.

Mark Wahlberg and his family won't be staying in Los Angeles forever, it's not the best place to raise a family. He said, "We won't stay there forever but it's very difficult to raise normal kids in an environment like that. And I was thinking there's no real role models for girls. You've got Britney Spears, you've got Paris Hilton; they're nice enough people but I don't want my daughter to aspire to be like that."

I wonder if they will move to somewhere off the map to raise their kids.

trix — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:02:00 GMT

Mark Walhberg doesn't want to be bothered, and he's not afraid to let you know. He especially doesn't want to bothered at church.
He was recently quoted saying, "I go to church and people ask me if they can be on Entourage, what’s gonna happen. I go to church to worship, I don’t go to church to talk about it. The stuff that I did with my entourage back in the day is stuff that I’m not proud of and I’m asking forgiveness for; I don’t want things brought up in church, but, if you go to church in Beverly Hills, those kind of things happen. I get scripts, resumes, books - people tried to come up to me with a children’s book before and I wouldn’t take it. They got upset with me. This is church."
So if you go to the same church as Mark take note, don't bother him, he doesn't like it.
