Is Seth Binzer Dead From Cardiac Arrest?

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:05:00 GMT

Rumors are swirling around the internet that Seth Binzer, lead singer of alternative rock band Crazy Town, went into cardiac arrest and died last night. Binzer, who also goes by the pseudonym Shifty Shelshock, was one of the celebrities featured on VH1's Celebrity Rehab.

The rumor is that Binzer suffered a heart attack after taking a lethal combination of ecstasy, crack and heroin.

As with most stories like this that seem to spread like wildfire in the middle of the night, this one doesn't seem to be showing up on any mainstream news sources. I doubt there's any truth to the rumor, but as in the case of Bernie Mac, sometimes the stories develop from a few leaked facts. I'm guessing Binzer may have had some sort of medical emergency, maybe he actually did go into cardiac arrest and that led to talk that he had passed away.

Stories like this, whether true or not, are hard on family and friends. I feel for Binzer's wife and especially his young son Halo, who would no doubt be traumatized upon hearing stories of his father's death.

I'll keep you posted.

Tom & Katie's Baby News!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:05:00 GMT

Oh you knew it was coming! Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes apparently have some exciting baby news to share!

After pictures hit the internet of Tom placing his hand lovingly on Katie's belly as they exited the Ivy restaurant, everyone was a flutter believing that the two were expecting their second child together. And they do absolutely want a second baby for sure, but let's not get ahead of ourselves - Katie's not pregnant yet according to her rep, but....

An eyewitness to their dinner encounter told OK!, "It was identical to how Tom used to stand with Katie when she was pregnant with Suri. And the way they looked at each other! You could see the love in their eyes and there was a feelling that they were sharing something very special at that moment."

A pal of Tom's said, "Tom would love to have another baby! There's nothing that gives him more pleasure than his role as a father."

The couple would also be thrilled if they had another daughter. A Valkyrie set insider said, "Suri has been such a joy for Tom. As far as he's concerned, he'd be happy to have another girl. Katie feels the same."

I think these two will be making an announcement very soon!

Is Katie Holmes Anorexic?

Sassy Smith — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 21:02:00 GMT

Katie Holmes, was reportedly trying to lose weight with a vitamin detox program that Scientologists believe in, after her run on Broadway. At a recent red carpet appearance with husband Tom Cruise, in Berlin, Holmes looked very thin - super thin - and some believe that she may be suffering from anorexia.

As well, Katie has been spotted with weight loss drink Celsius, which further sparked rumors about her health. The drink claims its a "thermogenic blend," which increases metabolism to help burn calories. Yes, like she needs help burning calories! She needs to eat a freakin' burger already.

Maybe she does have weight issues - Tom reportedly wants her to gain weight in order to get pregnant - he's really wanting a huge family, and would like Suri to have a sibling close in age. But perhaps Katie isn't ready for another kid and is trying to not gain weight?

I wonder who will win this battle? Tom or Katie?

And what is with Scientology? Seriously. Either you're supposed to be losing weight on some sort of detox crap or you're supposed to be gaining weight so you can prepare your body for pregnancy. No wonder Katie walks around like a zombie sometimes! It's not because she's a tired working mom, it's because the Scientologists are freaky and can't make up their minds about what they expect of you.

Makeover: Tom Cruise's "Dos & Don'ts" List

Sassy Smith — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 16:10:00 GMT

Tom Cruise has recently shed a few pounds and now he wants (or rather his PR people) to toss out his other bad habits! Cruise has been given a list of "Dos and Don'ts" that will help improve his image and put him back to superstar status.

Here are a few things that Tom's publicists have suggested he do (or not) to make him shine once again.

1. Stop blathering on about Scientology. Remember that whole Matt Lauer scene? Ya. No more Xenu babble in public please.

2. Stay connected to your audience Tommy. Don't do the whole 'I'm gonna wear $500 shades on the red carpet even at night because I'm obnoxious and better than you, the commoner'. Cruise will no longer be wearing his sunglasses at night. Or day. At least at premieres.

3. Don't arrive to movie premieres in fancy cars. Most people can't relate to a shades-wearing (see # 2) dude, slipping out of his $85,000 car, with a giant smirk on his face. Come in a taxi. Or walk. (Okay, probably not going to do the cab thing, but let's keep it simple, mmkay?). A source said his PR team doesn't "want him to seem arrogant during the recession!" Yes, because we don't already know that Tom is worth millions and probably won't feel the recession no matter what, but anyway, it's the thought that counts, right?

4. Win back your female fans Tom. Seriously, good luck. After he dissed Brooke Shields because she used postpartum depression medication, research indicated that Cruise's hot level went way down. Way down. Women turned against him. Cruise has been appearing on women-friendly shows, such as The View," talking about family and kids and how cute Suri is, to appeal to the ladies. The source says, "It's all very calculated." Yes, the wool is being pulled over our eyes this very second.

5. Don't grab Katie's arm or waist in public, stop sucking face on the red carpet, and quit treating her like your robot. Women view him as controlling when he pulls that crap, so the PR people want him to cut-it-the-freak-out. "Tom needs to quit grabbing her arm and pulling her around. The idea is to make him the kinder, gentler Tom, not a controlling husband with a 'Stepford wife.'"

To be fair to Tom (not that I have to be, but still), he is a doting father and it shows, but I'm sure they'll be more of that kind of thing in public, so the ladies will start swooning over him once again. More Suri! (I'd say more Isabella and Connor too, but as teens, they want their dad to stop talking about them already, like that was so 2003).

I'm not sure if all of this calculated publicity stuff will help - can anyone really forget the jumping on Oprah's sofa incident or Tom calling Matt Lauer "glib?" Time will tell!

Tom Furious With Katie!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 12:07:00 GMT

What's happening with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? Tom is reportedly furious with Katie and this may just put a further wedge between the celebrity couple. What has Cruise so hot under the collar?

Katie is reported to have spent nearly $14 million in the six months that she and Suri have been living in New York City, and Tom is none too happy about it. Holmes was starring on Broadway in All My Sons, which ended last weekend (but she may just be doing another show).

Holmes spent thousands on restaurant outtings, clothing for herself and daughter Suri and she shelled out millions for three new Manhattan apartments.

From a source:

"Katie enjoys dressing Suri up in designer gear and loves that everyone thinks she's a mini fashionista. She even bought Tom's 16-year-old daughter Isabella a pair of $400 shoes, which he really couldn't get his head around."

The insider adds, "He doesn't believe in spoiling the children and he's not one for spending money on clothes- he's not the slightest bit interested in fashion.

"That, combined with everything else, shows the increasing gap between them."

Maybe Tom should lighten up - I'm sure he's got a few bucks in the bank, so if Katie wants to buy a few things, big deal. Like, who doesn't need three NYC apartments?! Okay, maybe spending $14 million in less than a year is a tad ridiculous, but hey, isn't that what celebs do? Live ridiculously!

Hm, wonder if this will put a damper on them trying for another baby? Tom wants 10 kids, so they'd better get a move on it! No time for fighting.

Katie Played With Barbies & Suri Can Too!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 16:09:00 GMT

Katie Holmes loved playing with Barbies as a little girl and hated giving them up. And the celebrity mom doesn't mind that her daughter Suri, 2 1/2, often brings her dolls along on their outings!

Katie told the New York Times, "I was a little slow to grow up. I played with Barbie dolls until my friends said it was time to put them away.

"They'd say, 'You know, there are boys coming over.' It was sad: I had 30 Barbie, 3 Skippers, 2 Kens and 1 Midge. I had the Barbie plane, the Barbie house, the Barbie pool, and I really like all the accessories.

"We had a pretty large basement in our house in Toledo, and we'd create elaborate Barbie setups. It would take all day, and then we'd get bored."

I was like Katie - I was a total Barbie freak, had all the accessories too! I never had a problem with my daughter playing with dolls either.

Katie Holmes Given Strict Orders To Gain Weight - For Another Baby

Sassy Smith — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:03:00 GMT

Katie Holmes has reportedly been given strict instructions to gain at least 14 pounds to prepare her body for another pregnancy. Tom Cruise has made no bones about wanting a big family - he says he'd like 10 kids - and now's the time to start.

According to a source, Tom wants Katie to focus on family now that her run on Broadway is done. "Tom believes Katie needs to focus on their family again. She's had her time being 'Katie Holmes' instead of just Tom's wife, but in return she agreed to have a second child as soon as that time's over. In Tom's eyes, that's now."

The insider adds, "Tom badly wants a baby. He thinks that if Katie has a little more weight on her, it'll help the conception and also be healthier for her and the baby during pregnancy.

"He wants them to be parents again by the end of the year.

"As far as Tom's concerned, he kept his side of the bargain by allowing Katie to concentrate on her career; now it's time for her to keep hers."

Hmm, wow, he allowed her to have her career?

Guess it's time for bump watch again.

New York Madam: Katie Holmes Could Make Big Bucks

Sassy Smith — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 16:09:00 GMT

I'm not sure if Katie Holmes would find this flattering, but infamous madam Kristin "Billie" Davis, says that Holmes could earn as much as $3,000 an hour - as a hooker.

Well, Katie is unemployed now that her run on Broadway is over. I'm kidding, kidding, kidding.

Anyway, after her arrest, Davis said that Katie, among other Hollywood celebs, could make a killing prostituting themselves.

Davis told the New York Daily News, "Katie would be very popular because she has that All-American college girl look. I could probably get 2,500 dollars an hour for Katie. Maybe even 3,000 dollars." However, top spot would go to Angelina Jolie.

Added Davis, "She [Angelina] would be my top girl. I call it my Number one. I would put her at 2,000 dollars an hour. But you couldn't get her unless you booked her for four hours." Angie's a bit busy with six kids, and I'm pretty sure she makes decent change making movies. Just sayin'.

Even Britney made the madam's list since cleaning up her act and could rake in two grand an hour. "During her shaved-head period, she would have earned half that."

However, Governor Sarah Palin wouldn't fair as well. "I wouldn't have any market for her. She's cute, but not for my kind of clients... She could work for a cheaper agency, maybe a 300 dollars-an-hour type agency."

Davis includes Paris Hilton and Melania Trump on her list as well. Davis served three months in jail and now is about to publish her book, called The Real Sex in the City: True Tales of the Manhattan Madam. In it, she lists powerful politicians, Wall Street hotshots, celebrities, doctors and lawyers who frequented her call-girl operation.

This will be one book that Katie and the other celebrity moms can't share with their kids. 'Oh hey, children, look mommy is featured in this book, about how I could have had an alternate career path'.

Guess Who: Celebrity Mom Spends $14 Million In Six Months!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:02:00 GMT

What tough economic times? One celebrity mom laid down a lot of moola in the past six months - approximately $14 million! Who is it and what did she spend the money on?

Find out after the jump!

Katie Holmes, who has been in NYC since last July so she could appear in the Broadway show, All My Sons, has been spending a few bucks.

Holmes and daughter Suri, 2 1/2, frequent the city's best restaurants, and both love to shop at the finest stores.

From Page Six:

"While ordinary city dwellers are cutting back, Mrs Cruise has been valiantly doing her bit to boost our economy.

"We tally up a conservative estimate of her 24-week NYC spending spree, and crown her Manhattan's Most Valued Shopper."

It's believed Katie spent almost $14,000 on child care for Suri. And to be fair, the $14 million most likely includes their three new apartments, which would take up a good chunk of that change (Katie and Suri are living in one of them).

A Cruise rep denies the real estate purchases but Barbara Corcoran, areal estate exec, says that the couple did indeed by a trio of lofts in 2008.

Besides the apartments and child care, it's estimated that the couple spend over $7,000 on a private gym, including space for Suri. Another $7,300 was spent at fancy restaurants and $17,000 laid out for clothes for Katie and Suri.

Um, do they want to adopt me? I'm house-broken and mind my manners.

Katie Holmes will finish her broadway show All My Sons on January 11 and guess what the celebrity mom has planned after that?

A detox! Specifically, a Scientology detox. I envision white lights, probes and aliens, but apparently it's not that weird.

Scientology centers in California and New York offer a 'bizarre herbal' detox plan and according to a source, "The Clear Body, Clear Mind plan utilizes a regime of exercise, sauna sweat-out, vitamins and minerals to cleanse bodies of toxins."

Sounds normal.

The insider adds, "Katie is tired from balancing motherhood with her six-nights-a-week show and wants to get back into shape.

"The plan involves doses of the vitamin niacin to purify the body."

I say she and Suri should take a mini vacation - that sounds like way more fun than sweating in a sauna and drinking some odd drink. Just sayin.'

But hey, if Scientogoly can cure Tom Cruise of dyslexia then I suppose it can cleanse Katie.

Working mom Katie Holmes and daughter Suri, were spotted leaving their NYC apartment, on their way to the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater for a matinee show of All My Sons on Saturday. Looks like little Suri was camera shy that day!

More pics after the jump

Katie's final performance of the play is January 11 - the same day husband Tom Cruise is expected to be in Los Angeles for the Golden Globes, for which he's nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Tropic Thunder). However, Katie is expeced to remain in NYC to finish out the show.

Ina Treciokas, Katie's rep, said, "Katie's decided to stay and do her last show. She won't be going with Tom to the Globes. The cast of All My Sons has been like a family and they want to end it together."

I wonder if Katie will work after the play ends? Or maybe she'll take a break and she and Tom will try for that second child together?

WTH Fashion: Katie Holmes Misses The Mark

Katie Holmes is an attractive woman and normally when she and daughter Suri hit the streets of NYC, the 30-year-old actress looks stylish and put together. However, her latest fashion statement has missed the mark in my opinion. Perhaps others will disagree, but I hate leggings to begin with (and these ones have stirrups!) and then to pair them with shorts (in December no less) is weird.

One more pic after the jump!

Katie was spotted leaving her Soho apartment on Sunday wearing that outfit. Seriously, it should be considered a crime, but luckily for her, she won't be arrested.

Daughter Suri always looks fashionable, maybe she could give mom some tips.

Living In Fear: Tom & Katie Receive Death Threats

Sassy Smith — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 15:02:00 GMT

How scary, at times, to be a celebrity! Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes have reportedly been receiving death threats and are living in fear. Security for the couple and their children, has been stepped up.

It's believed that a group opposed to Scientology are the ones making the threats.

Cruise and Holmes are said to drive in bomb-proof vehicles and have increased their security, particularly when out with daughter Suri, 2.

Recently, Tom's Valkyrie film premiere was protested by Anonymous, an anti-Scientology group, and other protest groups have been angered by his portrayal of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg in the movie.

A source claims, "The threats are perceived to be so great that the FBI has been alerted." Tom is set to fly to London for his UK movie premiere and is concerned. "Tom is terrified. He doesn't feel safe anywhere."

It's rumored that Tom has spent nearly $10,000 million on an underground bunker at his Colorado estate, and last August he apparently received anthranx threats - that it would be placed in the air vents at his LA office.

If that's true, how freakin' scary! And even more so with children in the picture. There's no way I'd want that kind of public life - way too many nutcases out there!

Celebrity Christmas: Who Spent $6,000 On Wrapping Paper?

Sassy Smith — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 15:08:00 GMT

I thought the $45 I spent on Christmas wrapping paper was ridiculous! What celebrity couple splurged on their family Christmas card, gifts and wrapping paper?

Find out after the jump!

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes apparently went all out for the holidays! Katie designed the family's Christmas card last year - it was burgundy, cream and brown, had a brown and burgundry ribbon and in a sweeping, brown font, read:

"Happy Holidays and best wishes for a joyous new year. Love Tom, Katie, Bella, Connor and Suri."

And for this year, the couple wanted to wrap gifts for their friends and family with expensive paper. Really expensive paper.

A source told The Herald Sun, "Tom and Katie are planning to wrap each present in 60 dollars worth of wrapping paper and then put a 140-dollar Jay Strongwater ornament on top.

"With all the presents they have to send, they are going to be spending at least 6,000 dollars on the paper alone," according to the insider.

Six freakin' thousand dollars? If that's true, that's ridiculous even for rich people.

If they spent that much on wrapping paper alone, how much did they spend on gifts? What kind of money do you suppose they lay down for their children? It would probably blow our minds!

She added, "It's amazing what you become aware of as a mother. You think, 'Nice wood on that swing set!'

"I've been to the (Home) Depot many times with other moms. I know how to push a cart. I'm not a wimpy girl!"

Who knew Katie Holmes did 'regular people' stuff? Awesome! And who knows, maybe she'll take up a new venture and start designing playgrounds.

Tom and Gisele's parents were also present for the big moment.

Brady, 31, is father to 16-month-old John Edward (mom is Bridget Moynahan) and I'm guessing he and Gisele will add to their family at some point.

Congrats!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 16:08:00 GMT

Katie Holmes celebrated her 30th birthday on Thursday, December 18 and husband Tom Cruise said he had something special planned. What did he surprise her with?

Pics after the jump!

Katie first went to The Baryshnikov Arts Center by herself, then was picked up by her bodyguard and daughter Suri. The mother-daughter duo then went to an Upper East Side bakery and returned home to their Soho apartment after running a few errands.

Later, Holmes performed her Broadway show All My Sons and that's where Cruise surprised his wife with a specially-made birthday cake. As the curtain fell, the cast and crew presented her with the five-tiered, white-frosted, circular cake. The crowed applauded.

Co-star John Lithgow announced, "Tom Cruise, our good friend, devoted fan to the show, doting husband of Katie, could not be here tonight. He's heartsick that he couldn't be here... but he wanted to make his presence felt. So, he's joining us, inviting all of you, to celebrate Katie's birthday."

Tom told PEOPLE, "I planned it so that when she comes out for the standing ovation, John [would] get the whole audience to wish her a happy birthday." He said that they celebrated privately the night before and "that was the big one." Uh, ya, I hope so - because if I was married to Tom Cruise, he'd better get me more than a freakin' cake!

Katie was reportedly surprised and she brought out 2-year-old Suri to help her blow out the birthday candles on the cake. The birthday girl said to the audience, "Thank you for coming out to the show tonight. It was a real pleasure."

Maybe the night before, she and Tom were working on adding to their family?

Katie Holmes: Seeing Through Suri's Eyes

The Cruise Family Circus

Is Suri Cruise Spoiled?

Sassy Smith — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:07:00 GMT

It would seem that little Suri Cruise has just about everything a child could want. She's got two older siblings, nice homes to live in, designer clothing, top-of-the-line shoes, her own private gym and two parents who have a hard time saying 'no', especially dad, Tom Cruise.

Cruise spoke with Regis and Kelly on Wednesday and it was obvious he's a very proud father. He said of his older kids, Isabella, turning 16 next week, and Connor, 13, "they want to work and earn their own money." They don't want a free ride and have their father's work ethic.

Tom said of Suri, "She just loves dogs, loves puppies, loves animals. She's hard to say no to, that Suri. She's so sweet. All my children are."

Suri would love a puppy for Christmas and sounds like she might get one! Cruise said she might be watching the show, so he didn't "want to give anything away." Oh ya, she's totally getting a pup.

The 46-year-old actor also said that he and Katie have a hard time getting pants and jackets on their strong-willed daughter. He said having big sister Bella around helps because Suri will copy what she wears.

He added, "She dresses herself [when] Kate lays the [clothes] out for her," Tom explains. "She won't wear pants, and it's very difficult getting the coat on...But having a big sister helps, because she looks to Bella."

Suri's favorite place to go is "the ice cream store" and she doesn't care what the temperature is outside!

So do you think Suri is spoiled or is she just a typical 2 1/2 year-old?

Tom has been busy promoting his new flick Valkyrie which opens December 25.

Suri Cruise might be the daughter of two famous, actor parents but dad Tom Cruise says that his little girl can be whatever she wants to be! Just because he and Katie are in showbiz, doesn't mean Suri has to follow that route - but it's OK if she does.

Cruise said, "She can be whatever she wants. All my kids, whatever they want to do in life. When I was growing up, I always wanted to travel the world. I wanted to not just be enveloped by different cultures, but learn about their history and how they do things. And that's how I raise my kids - so that they have full exposure to the world, and all different kinds of ideas and possibilities so that they can make choices themselves."

But Tom won't let his kids just sit back and coast through life either.

He added, "I do have a thing - if you want to do it, really do it. Don't be passive about it. And he has no problem with Suri becoming an actress.

"I'd love it. Acting is work that I love. I love to create life and give energy, create characters and create stories. It's a lot of fun."

Cruise would also love to do a kids' film - something that Suri would enjoy.

He said, "I like to. I don't have any right on the horizon. I like those movies. Some are really great, and it would just be fun."

Suri's Incredible Vocabulary!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:06:00 GMT

Suri Cruise, according to her proud daddy Tom Cruise, is a genius! She's apparently talking up a storm and Cruise loves to brag up his little girl.

Cruise said of Suri, "Her vocabulary is incredible." But he says his favorite words are the simple ones. "I love hearing 'I love you, dada,' or 'I love you, mama.'"

Tom is enjoying the time he gets to spend with Suri while his wife Katie Holmes is busy working her Broadway show All My Sons.

"I just love every moment. We've got the teenagers and I've got the two-and-half year old and to have that I feel lucky."

The 46-year-old actor recently walked the red carpet for his movie Valkyrie sans Katie but he said their marriage is stronger than ever.

"It doesn't take a lot of effort with her. Like tonight, everyone is asking, 'Where's Kate?' She is hosting the family and the friends tonight."

And Cruise is still very much a romantic. He adds, "I leave flowers in her dressing room all the time. I write little love notes... wishing her well."

Speaking of Valkyrie, what did Suri think of her daddy wearing an eye patch? Not much at first!

Sometimes Suri would join her dad on set, which she adapted to quite easily. Tom said of the eye patch, "Suri would come up to me and take it off. So the girls in the makeup trailer got a little teddy bear with a patch on it and gave it to her and so she would play with it. That she would get used to the fact it was on me."

Suri would love to watch the action. "She'll watch the monitor and talk," said Tom.

Would Tom mind if his little girl followed in his footsteps? Not at all!

He said, "I would love that. Acting, that's what I love. It's a great life."

Actually It's Katie Holmes Who's In Control

It's assumed that Tom Cruise is the one in control of Katie Holmes but it appears that it could actually be the other way around. Or shall we say, that Mrs. Cruise has her husband wrapped around her little finger?

According to reports, Katie wants to stay in NYC for the holidays instead of heading to their mansion in Beverly Hills. I mean it only makes sense right? Katie has been busy on Broadway with All My Sons and with Christmas around the corner, why not stay put?

An insider said, "She has been doing loads of travelling back and forth with Suri from New York to LA between shows and she's tired.

"She asked Tom over to New York for Christmas and he agreed. Both families are also coming over."

The source added, "Katie would prefer to live in New York. She and Tom have been leading increasingly separate lives."

But both have been making an effort to keep their marriage alive and Tom often flies in to see Katie and his little girl.

I'd say both Katie and daughter Suri have Tom wrapped around their fingers!
