Have You Seen The Caylee Anthony Doll?

trix — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 16:29:00 GMT

Did you hear that someone is making a "tribute" doll to Caylee Anthony? A "portion" of the $30 price tag, may go to some charities that have yet to be named, but only maybe. It isn't a sure thing, but you know maybe.

The creator said that he wasn't sure if it was appropriate to be making the doll or not and that he was anticipating critics.

You think?

Oh wait, we now have an update that the company isn't going to be making the dolls.

Thank goodness.

Jaime Salcedo, the creator, said, "The doll would "honor" and "respect" Caylee's life by bringing awareness to her case, and was specifically designed not to look like Caylee because it would be too morbid."

He said of the public criticism, "The way that they look at it is morbid and all negative, 'Oh, the little girl is killed.' They don't look at the thing that Caylee's in heaven right now and she's dancing and singing and she's joyous and in a better place than any of us here."

Okay, he's creepy and wrong. Yuck! I can't think of anything to say, I'm just astounded that someone would think that a doll would be a tribute.

Lizzie Grubman Was Pregnant With Twins But Gives Birth To Only One Baby

Sassy Smith — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:06:00 GMT

Former reality star and celebrity publicist Lizzie Grubman and husband Chris Stern welcomed their second son on Thursday, January 22 - two months before Lizzie's scheduled due date. As well, we told you last September that the couple announced they were expecting twins - so did something happen to their other baby? Or were the reports of twins not accurate?

Lizzie and Chris named their new baby Jack Alexander Stern and he joins big brother Harrison "Harry" Irving, 2. All reports say that mom and baby are doing well, which is good to hear, considering he arrived 8 weeks early. It's also being reported that both mom and baby are expected to be home on Monday, but I'm thinking baby Jack would have to stay longer since he was born premature.

And, it still leaves the question of what happened to her other baby, if indeed she was expecting twins?

Grubman announced her pregnancy (with twins) last year at a luncheon her parents' home. Twins run in her family - her sister is a mom of twins.

Congrats to the family and we'll keep you updated on the 'twins mystery'.

*Edit* It was posted on a message board that Lizzie did lose the other baby earlier in the pregnancy - and if that's true, we're very sorry for the family's loss.

George Anthony Longed to "Be With Caylee"

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 15:25:00 GMT

George Anthony, the distraught grandfather of slain toddler Caylee Anthony, sent his family and friends text messages saying he "did not want to live anymore and that he wanted to be with Caylee" according to a report released by Florida police.

Anthony then disappeared for several hours, prompting a search by police that ended when they found him in a Daytona Beach motel. Reports say that he had taken medication and may have been drinking and left behind a five or six page suicide note.

According to an Orange County sheriff's report, Anthony's wife Cindy (Cynthia) said that "George has been upset and depressed about the death of his granddaughter, Caylee Marie."

"She stated she asked George yesterday to pick out some jewelry for Caylee for her funeral," the report stated. "Cynthia said she believed this might have made him even more depressed."

George and Cindy Anthony have publicly defended their daughter, saying that she had nothing to with Caylee's disappearance.

In a December interview on Larry King Live, George Anthony said that he never suspected his daughter killed his granddaughter and he felt Caylee was still alive.

"Oh, Caylee? She's with, hopefully, a loving family that's taking care of her," he said.

The next day, Caylee's remains were found in the woods near the home where Casey Anthony had lived with her parents.

Caylee's Grandfather George Anthony Found With Suicide Note (Video)

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:22:00 GMT

George Anthony, the grandfather of slain toddler Caylee Anthony, was found in a Daytona Beach motel room after he was reported missing for several hours. Police told reporters that Anthony had sent text messages to family members indicating that he "wanted to end his life." He was found with a "five to six page suicide letter" although police said he had not tried to harm himself.

A spokeswoman for Daytona Beach hospital where Anthony was taken said he was in stable condition and was admitted for observation.

Anthony's daughter, Casey Anthony was previously charged with Caylee's murder. The two-year-old's body was found last December in the woods near where she had lived with her mother and grandparents.

As a parent I can understand the desire to protect your children, but I think this incident shows that George Anthony is having a hard time dealing with the truth of who killed his granddaughter.

Family Friend Says "I Could Have Saved Caylee"

Karl Erikson — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 12:35:00 GMT

Casey Anthony's best friend says, "I could have saved Caylee Anthony's life. Her smiling little face will haunt me forever." Kiomarie Torres Cruz - best friend of the accused murderess Casey Anthony - gave an interview to the National Enquirer and she says that she should have seen the signs.

Police believe that Casey killed 2-year-old daughter Caylee and threw her away like trash. Kiomarie, 22, a witness for the prosecution in Casey's murder trial, says that Casey never wanted Caylee. She was going to give the baby to Kiomarie, actually, but her mom didn't like the plan so she dropped it.

More sickening news? The place where police found Caylee's body recently was a secret hideaway for Casey. She often used it as a pet cemetery. As girls Casey and Kiomarie would go there all dressed in black, reading prayers for their dead pets. They called the place The Zone.

Back in July, Kiomarie told the police that she suspected Caylee's body might be in The Zone. The cops checked it out but found nothing. But it was last week that a meter reader stumbled across the remains and now they're certain it's Caylee.

Has Caylee Anthony Been Found?

Remains Positively Identified as Those of Caylee Anthony

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 00:05:00 GMT

The skeletal remains found last week in the woods near the home of Caylee Anthony have been positively identified as those of the missing toddler. A county medical examiner said her death is considered a homicide.

The medical examiner, Dr. Jan Garavaglia, said that DNA tests confirm that the remains match Caylee Anthony’s genetic profile but the findings give no clue as to how the girl was killed. The remains, some of which were as small as pebbles, were discovered by a utility worker on the edge of the Anthony's neighborhood about 10 miles southeast of downtown Orlando.

Caylee's mom, Casey Anthony, was charged with first-degree murder in October in the disappearance of her daughter and recently pleaded not guilty. According to a spokesperson for her attorney, Casey is aware of today's findings but there has been no comment from her or her family.

Caylee Anthony hadn't been seen since June, but her mother didn't report her missing until a month later. The child's grandmother, Casey's mom, called authorities in July to report that she hadn't seen her granddaughter in a month and that her daughter's car smelled like death.

Has Caylee Anthony Been Found?

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 20:55:00 GMT

The skeletal remains of a small child have been found in Florida, and speculation is that it is the body of missing toddler Caylee Anthony. Caylee's mom, Casey Anthony, was charged with first-degree murder in October in the disappearance of her daughter and recently pleaded not guilty.

Caylee Anthony hasn't been seen since June, but her mother didn't report her missing until a month later. The child's grandmother, Casey's mom, called authorities in July to report that she hadn't seen her granddaughter in a month and that her daughter's car smelled like death.

The body found this morning was discovered by a utility worker on the edge of the Anthony's neighborhood about 10 miles southeast of downtown Orlando. Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said it was not immediately apparent to investigators whether the remains belonged to Caylee.

Mandy Albritton, a member of EquuSearch - one of the groups that searched for Caylee in the months after her disappearance - said their volunteers did not previously search the location where the remains were found because it was submerged in water. When they returned in November, the site had been closed off by a fence.

Deborah Smith, one of EquuSearch’s volunteers, had already searched the area three times and said “she had a bad feeling” because Anthony had said her daughter was nearby. She said, “it’s really wet and steep and there’s lots of snakes back there.”

“I do believe it’s (Caylee Marie),” Smith said.

As a parent, my heart aches for this little girl. In my opinion her mother should be held fully responsible for her death and her grandparents are guilty to a certain extent for covering up for their daughter.

Our hearts go out to the family during this difficult time. Losing a family member in such a violent way is tragic and during the holiday season makes it that much more heartbreaking.

David and Victoria Super Hero Crime-Fighters?

David and Victoria Beckham are going to be superheroes or at least Stan Lee is looking to make the couple into a crime-fighting duo. He said he was drawn to them because of their beauty. Isn't everybody?

Lee says of his idea, "There are so many ways to do it. We could make them a crime fighting team where the soccer is just a facade. Or we could make them spies or we could make it a comedy where one of them wants to be an adventurer? He’s a very attractive, personable guy and she’s a very attractive, interesting looking girl. I haven’t met the Beckhams yet but I think we could do a great show."

The couple has done crazier things than this, do you think they will agree to it?

Video: Is Little Caylee Anthony Alive?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 14:10:00 GMT

Three-year-old Caylee Anthony went missing in June and her mother Casey Anthony has been indicted by a Florida grand jury on a first-degree murder charge. However, there is at least one person who believes the little girl is still alive - Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony. She refuses to believe that her granddaughter is dead or that her daughter had anything to do with her disappearance.

Cindy told TODAY's Meredith Vieira on Wed's show, "I know Caylee is alive."

She said, "I know my daughter. There is nothing in this world that could make me believe that Casey did anything to Caylee. There has never been any child neglect, child abuse or anything. This young lady loves her child, more than I love Casey."

According to reports, there have been "sightings" of Caylee since her disappearance, and now a court ruling now states that authorities have to turn over those reports to the family, that will give them names of the people who called police claiming they've seen the little girl.

Cindy added, "There's a lot of people out there that have seen Caylee. We're going to reach out to those people once we get their names and we're going to go ahead and start tracking them down ourselves.... I know in my heart that we are going to find Caylee before this trial takes place."

However, not everyone agrees with Casey's grandmother. Florida State Attorney Lawson Lamar's office obtained the grand jury indictment against Casey on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about her child's disappearance months ago. She's also facing charges on passing bad checks that she allegedly used to purchase beer and lingerie.

Cindy Anthony said she's been spending as much time with her daughter as she can - she sat with Casey in her lawyer Jose Baez's office.

She said, "I just wanted to be around her as much as I could. We've known that they've been building a case against Casey from day one, and they have not been looking for my granddaughter. Her attorney has been preparing for this since day one."

Cindy Anthony said it's been hard for her daughter, waiting for the indictment. "Not only is she facing the charges, I told her the night before: 'You know, they haven't been looking for Caylee.' She's lost her daughter. Someone has her daughter."

Caylee's grandmother added, "My love for Casey is stronger every day. My love for my granddaughter is stronger every day."

I hope they do find Caylee alive, but it's not looking good. Our hearts go out to her.

Finally - the mother of missing 3-year-old toddler Caylee Anthony is being held accountable for her daughter's disappearance. A Florida grand jury returned an indictment today charging Casey Anthony with first-degree murder; the state attorney for Orange County said the first count is a capital charge -- which could carry a penalty of life in prison or death.

Caylee Anthony disappeared in mid-June, but Casey Anthony waited a full month before contacting authorities to report her daughter missing. The toddler's grandmother, Casey's mom. called the police in July to say that she hadn't seen Casey for a month and that her daughter's car smelled like a dead body.

While her daughter was missing, Casey Anthony was seen partying at nightclubs and living the life of a carefree single woman, at one point entering a "hot body" contest. She was also accused of stealing a friend's checkbook during this time and forging checks to go on shopping sprees.

Casey Anthony claimed that her daughter disappeared after she had dropped her off with a babysitter, but when police checked out her story they learned that the address that Anthony supplied belonged to vacant apartment. The woman Anthony named as the babysitter said she did not know Anthony.

Where in the World is Cousin Oliver?

Whit Honea — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:04:00 GMT

The Brady kids had a cousin. His name was Cousin Oliver, which I always found weird. I don't call my family by their label (Sister Lulu, Cousin Zeke, that just sounds weird), but such is Hollywood. I had always secretly suspected that he was the love child of Alice and Sam the butcher, and that the Brady's, big as their hearts were, had agreed to raise the boy as one of the bunch.

My theory was wrong, and soon Cousin Oliver was sent packing. The entire show went with him.

What, you may ask, became of the boy, or more importantly the boy that played him? Robbie Rist is alive and well. You can read his story at Strollerderby.

Casey Anthony Re-Arrested

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:57:00 GMT

Casey Anthony, the mother of the Florida toddler who has been missing since June, was arrested again on Friday night on fraud and theft charges. The 22-year-old had allegedly used a friend's checkbook to pay for items at several stores and to write a check for cash.

Anthony was released from jail last week on $500,000 bond where she had been held on charges of child neglect, making false statements and obstructing the investigation into her daughter Caylee's disappearance. Although the 3-year-old hasn't been seen since mid-June, Anthony did not report her missing until July.

A bounty hunter with the California company that helped Anthony post bond says he no longer believes the little girl is alive. "Absolutely not," Leonard Padilla said. He also told ABC News that he now regrets getting involved with the case. "Maybe we got duped a little bit. Maybe we overestimated her."

On Wednesday it was revealed that air samples taken from Anthony's car showed proof that a decomposing human body had been inside the trunk.

Andy Dick Arrested For Drugs & Sexual Battery!!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:24:00 GMT

Comedian and actor Andy Dick, 42, was arrested in Murrieta on suspicion of drug possession and sexual battery charges. What is wrong with this man? He's so talented and seems to want to p*ss his life away. He's certainly setting a great example for his three kids.

Dick is being held at the Southwest Detention Center with the bail amount set at $5,000.

Update from TMZ:

Around 1:15 a.m this morning cops tell us they responded to a report of a person peeing in the parking lot outside the wing joint, causing a disturbance.

Once there, they stopped a van and found Dick in the passenger seat. He was arrested for allegedly groping a 17-year-old girl's breast and pulling her top down.

When he was searched, cops say they found weed and one Xanax in his front pants pocket.

I can't even imagine what his kids are thinking right now. Sure, this is all "allegedly" and he's not been found guilty of anything yet, but still - must be hard for his children. Especially his youngest - daughter Meg, 11.

Get help Andy!

Britney Spears has been released from Cedars-Sinai hospital early this morning. Reportedly the "5150" hold can be lifted if the doctors feel she is no longer a danger to herself or others.

Spears was admitted early Friday morning after the drama that went down at her home. Yesterday, after an emergency custody hearing, her ex, Kevin Federline, was awarded sole and physical custody of Sean Preson and Jayden James. Another hearing is scheduled for January 14.

Police have no plans at this time to charge Britney with any crime stemming from the incident. "We were only there because of the child-custody dispute, and that's going to play out in the courts, " Ana Aguirre, a police spokesperson told MTV news.

Doesn't this seem too soon? I'm not a professional but honestly, I'm worried that something worse is going to happen.
