Queen Beatrix and Family - Survive Accident Scare

trix — Mon, 04 May 2009 14:33:00 GMT

Queen Beatrix of Holland might be re-thinking the, out with the public thing she likes to do.

While she was out and about with her family: sons, daughters and grandchildren, a man intentionally plowed through the spectators, killing 4 and injuring others.

The car ended up a few meters away from the Queen. How scary and horrifying for everyone involved?

I'm sure it was a fluke and a once in a life time thing, but still, I think the security detail might be a little hesitant to let the Queen and her family out in public.

Casey Aldrige is Home

trix — Sun, 03 May 2009 11:34:00 GMT

It's good news for Casey Aldridge and a big sigh of relief for Jamie Lynn, Casey was released from the hospital yesterday.

"Casey got home today, and he’s doing really well. He’ll have to have some rest for the next few weeks. He’s still got a headache, but everything looks good. They’re both at the house in Liberty (Missouri). Jamie Lynn’s mother, Lynne, has been keeping the couple’s baby, Maddie Briann, for most of the time during this whole episode, but I guess the baby will be going back home. Now Jamie Lynn will have two babies to care for."

Jamie Lynn must have known that he was going to be released because she was spotted at LAX on Saturday morning.

Jamie Lynn Spears Is All Grown Up

trix — Sat, 02 May 2009 11:32:00 GMT

Look, it's Jamie Lynn Spears all grown up, she is 18 now.

Jamie Lynn carried Maddie through LAX on a recent trip to California. Casey must be doing much better for her to feel she can leave.

Maddie will be a year old next month, I can't believe it's been that long already. They grow up so fast, don't they?

Casey Aldridge - Up and Walking Around

trix — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 21:03:00 GMT

Casey Aldridge is out of ICU and is walking around. I guess we take this news as proof that he is going to be okay.

Jamie Lynn Spears is probably so relieved, as a decent person you obviously wouldn't want anything to happen to the father of your child. Now that he's in the clear, she should have a nice long talk with him.

Driving irresponsibly with other people in the car, as a father, as a son, is such a stupid thing. It's not a way to show off and is just ridiculous.

There is nothing like a brush with death to serve as a wake-up call. Hopefully he will learn from this "mistake" and realize what the important things in life are.

Casey Aldridge Is OK

If I Were Madonna, I'd Be a Little Put Out

trix — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 21:29:00 GMT

So Madonna fell off of another horse the other day and it wasn't even her fault. The animal wasn't spooked by a snake or a dog running in it's path, it was spooked by the paparazzi.

Ooh, I'd be ticked, if I were her. I would have probably got up and given them a piece of my mind. Imagine what nasty things you would be thinking about the imbecile's that jumped out of the bushes to take your picture and scared your well trained horse.

Madonna suffered minor injuries and bruising, but was released from the hospital the same day as the accident.

Oh yes I almost forgot, not only did the paparazzi scare her hors, then they reported that she fell off of it like it was all her fault.

Classy, super classy, guys!

Denise Richards Seems Normal With the Sound Off

Whit Honea — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 22:40:00 GMT

It's funny how Denise Richards just looks like your typical hot mom in Santa Monica when you don't have to hear the words that are coming out of her mouth. Too bad television sets don't have a mute button (I know, but my TV has dials and rabbit ears- not the Playboy channel).

It's good to see the Sheen girls are okay after their car accident.

Sheen Girls in Car Crash

Whit Honea — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 23:53:00 GMT

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards are counting their blessings a little early this holiday season. Their two daughters, 4-year-old Sam and 3-year-old Lola, were involved in a car accident last week in Malibu. The girls are fine.

The girls were being driven by their nanny in a Mercedes SUV that ran into a Honda Civic which cut in front of them. The result was a four-car collision.

"The only person injured was the driver of the Honda," said Sgt. Evans of the L.A. Sheriff's Department. "There was no crime committed."

That's a scary moment for a parent- not to mention the kids. Glad to hear that they are okay.

Jack Black Falls for Obama

Whit Honea — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 20:39:00 GMT

Actor/Father/Singer (not necessarily in that order) Jack Black and his band (Kyle) Tenacious D performed at an Obama benefit- and by performed I mean they sang about 30 seconds of a song around two minutes of profanity. It's classy.

Mr. Black took a bit of a stumble. One might say he ate shiznit. Don't worry, he's alright so it's okay to laugh.

Here's the video (NSFW/K for language):

How We're Dealing With Our Loss: Steven Curtis Chapman

trix — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 19:04:00 GMT

The Chapman family has, over the last couple of months, been dealing with a tragedy that no parent should ever have to deal with, the death of a child. I have two kids myself, and I can't even think about the possibility of something happening to them. I believe that all parents would agree that they feel the same way.

Steven Curtis Chapman visited "Good Morning America" and shared with us how his family is coping and the challenges they face on a day to day basis.

“My son said the other day, ‘We are a family … of great faith. But we’re a family with a lot of questions.’ But that’s what faith is. It’s living with the questions. It doesn’t mean you have the answers,” the Christian singer said on "Good Morning America."

Steve admitted one of his greatest challenges is mourning the loss of his daughter while consoling his remaining five children.

“While we are grieving … there is a hope that we’re anchored to, in the midst of just what sometimes seems unbearable.”

I can't imagine the pain they are going through and the sadness the are feeling. My heart goes out to the family.

Maria will never be forgotten.

According to Access Hollywood, Marcia was driving her Lexus near Wilshire and Berry in West LA at approximately 2 p.m. and her car hit a sedan. Her vehicle did not sustain much damage, however, the sedan sustained a lot of front-end damage.

Both vehicles were towed. There was no police report filed as there were no injuries sustained. The parties involved exchanged insurance information etc. No other details were released.

Glad she's okay!

$275,000 Donated In Wake of Maria Sue Chapman's Death

Sassy Smith — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 12:10:00 GMT

Maria Sue, 5, daughter of Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman, passed away on May 21 after being accidently hit by a SUV driven by her older brother. And in the wake of her passing, people have generously given to Shaohannah's Hope, the non-profit organization founded by the Chapman family to provide adoption assistance to families and children who need it. The Chapmans adopted three daughters from China, including little Maria. The family asked that in lieu of flowers, donations could be sent to Shaohannah's Hope for Maria's Miracle Fund in honor of their daughter.

Executive director Scott Hasenbalg said, “It’s really, obviously, secondary to the mourning that is going on, but we know that this ministry will be a source of healing for the Chapmans as we carry out the mission. The outpouring of support has been incredible and we’re grateful.

“We know it will be put to good use because the stakes are too high not to,” he says.

“We are now rolling up our sleeves and beginning to work hard so we don’t miss out on ensuring that we are good stewards of the money that people have so generously given to us.”

Everyone, including staff of the organization and ministry are grieving.

“We are all just trying to put one foot in front of another. Maria was like a little sister to many of us. We have a culture of family within our ministry. We want to honor her. We want to honor God and we want to honor the Chapman family and really go from success to significance because Maria's life was significant to all of us."

The Chapman family, with the help of the board of directors, will best decide how to spend the donations.

The world doesn't seem right when a child dies. Five year old Maria Chapman, daughter of gospel singer Steven Curtis Chapman, passed away after being struck by a vehicle driven by her older brother.

Of the son who hit Maria he said:

"He understandably is just devastated. Their beautiful home has a couple of bends in the road. It just was totally an accident and this young man's heart is crushed."

Mr. Smith has been a friend of the family's for over 20 years. He urges people not to forget Maria's brother in their prayers.

"I encourage all to just redouble their prayers. because we all can predict how the enemy will try and whisper in his heart," he said.

Visitation for Maria will start today, May 23 at the Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville. Her memorial service will be held Saturday, May 24 at 11 a.m.

I hope Maria's brother can forgive himself and know that he has thousands upon thousands of people praying for him.

Statement From Steven Curtis Chapman Family

Sassy Smith — Fri, 23 May 2008 02:33:00 GMT

Steven Curtis Chapman and wife Mary Beth are grieving the loss of their precious daughter, Maria Sue Chapman. Chapman's manager, Jim Houser, has released the following statement on behalf of the family:

“Maria Sue Chapman, adopted and youngest daughter to Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman, was killed in a tragic accident in the family driveway on Wednesday evening. She was LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital but for only reasons God can explain she went home to Him ... not to Franklin as we all so desperately wanted.

"Your prayers are needed for all in the Chapman family. This is a family who has so generously loved and given to so many. Just hours before this close knit family was celebrating the engagement of the oldest daughter Emily Chapman, and were just hours away from a graduation party marking Caleb Chapman's completion of high school. Now, they are preparing to bury a child who blew out 5 candles on a birthday cake less than 10 days ago. These words are unthinkable to type. And yet we trust in a God who was not surprised by this and because of Jesus I am certain through faith in Him we will see Maria again.”

Rest in peace little Maria.

A video of Christian star Steven Curtis Chapman's 5-year old daughter Maria was posted by the family on Thursday. Maria Sue Chapman was killed in a tragic car accident on Wednesday after being accidentally hit by an SUV driven by her brother.

I have to admit I had never heard of Chapman before I read this tragic story yesterday. But I don't think anyone can watch this video of a vibrant Maria Sue and her obviously devoted father and not feel incredibly sad.

A blog for condolences for the Chapman family has been created here.

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 22 May 2008 04:43:00 GMT

The five-year-old daughter of gospel star Steven Curtis Chapman was struck and killed Wednesday by a car driven by her brother, MSNBC is reporting.

The girl, Maria, was struck in the driveway of the family's home Wednesday afternoon by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by her teenage brother who apparently didn't see the girl. She later died from her injuries at a local hospital.

Several family members witnessed the accident, which occurred in Williamson County, just south of Nashville.

Grammy Award-winning Chapman and his wife were dedicated to promoting international adoption and have three daughters from China, including Maria. The couple also have three biological children.

Our thoughts go out to the Chapman family.

Having not written about Britney since her breakdown, it's really nice to come back to this and see her spending quality time with her kids.

Britney Ran Over Me!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 17:04:00 GMT

Britney Spears invaded my dreams earlier and ran over me. It was more like a nightmare really, and why am I dreaming about her anyway ~~because I write about her 5000 times a day~~? The dream was fitting though because it begs the question, does Brit have a valid California driver's licence?

An attorney for Spears (one of the lawyers that quit?) wants the L.A. attorney's office to prove that the empty headed poptart is a permanent California resident and subject to state laws that require her to have a valid state driver's licence.

Britster could face up to one year of probation if convicted in a misdemeanour case of allegedly driving without a valid licence. There is video of Spears hitting a parked car in a lot back in August of 2007. The "brainiac" of course pleaded not guilty y'all. The hit and run charge was dropped.

Michael Flanagan filed a court motion on Wednesday that requires prosecutors to show that Spears, who owns homes in Louisiana and FL, intends on making Los Angeles her legal, permanent home.

"If they can establish that Britney is domiciled here in California, that she permanently intends to stay here, then she does have a requirement to get a licence," explained Flanagan.

During the time of the alleged incident, Britney had a valid Louisiana licence and then 6 days later, she got a California licence.

Britney really needs to quit driving, period. Even in my dreams.

However, at this point, due to recent events, this is the least of Brit's troubles.

Brandy Escapes Manslaughter Charges

Sassy Smith — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 17:07:00 GMT

Grammy Award winning singer, Brandy has escaped misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charges stemming from her December 2006 car crash that killed a 38 year old woman.

L.A. City Attorney's Office issued a statement saying that they will not proceed with the case due to 'insufficient evidence' that Brandy was responsible.

"After conducting a thorough investigation, which included consulting with some of the top accident reconstruction experts in the country, city prosecutors concluded there was insufficient evidence from which a jury could find Ms. Norwood guilty of such a charge beyond a reasonable doubt."

Brandy's attorney, Blair Berk said she was grateful for the prosecutor's decision.

"We are extremely pleased that after a more thorough and extensive investigation by the authorities, the Los Angeles City Attorney has determined that Brandy Norwood should not be charged with any crime whatsoever relating to the traffic accident.

"These past 12 months have been extraordinaryily hard for Brandy and her family, who were unfairly forced to live under a cloud of suspicion initially caused by an ill-advised and premature press release sent out by the California Highway Patrol, accusing Brandy of wrongdoing before the police investigation was even finished," she added.

The victim was Awatef Aboudihaj, a married mom of one.

Sassy Smith — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 17:05:00 GMT

Actress Joely Fisher, of Ellen fame and other television series and movies, and her young daughter, survived a horrific car crash. Fisher and her daughter, True, were hit head-on by a 91 year old man who fell asleep at the wheel. Sorry, no offense to the elderly but when you're 91 years old, you have no business driving! The 40 year old is certainly counting her blessings.

Fisher said, "It was a head-on collision with someone who ran a light and it was a mess. I had my daughter in the car with me and we both sat on the sidewalk sobbing. But I feel so blessed that both of us and the driver of the other vehicle were unharmed. It was a miracle, and I'm just so grateful to be here."

Joely is married to cinemotographer, Christopher Duddy and they have two girls, Skylar Grace, 6, and True Harlow, almost 2 years old. Fisher currently stars on the sitcom, 'Til Death.

Britney Spears Facing Possible Jail Time (Again)

Whit Honea — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 23:33:00 GMT

Earlier today Star Magazine, the bearer of all things true and just, claimed that Britney Spears was in danger of facing possible jail time for her continued partying, citing her behavior as possible contempt of court.

This afternoon she was charged with one count of hit and run causing property damage and one count of driving without a valid California license. Both charges are misdemeanors, each carrying a maximum of 6 months in jail. Really? Damn, I need to go to DMV.

The charges are a result of the August 6 incident in L.A. when Spears hit a parked car in the San Fernando Valley. It happens.
