Madonna Has The Swine Flu?

Josh loposer — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 12:35:00 GMT

What a disaster for the hardest working mother in showbiz who's currently in the middle of a nasty court battle to adopt a fourth child. Could it be true that Madonna has caught the dreaded plague of the pig?

In a word, nope -- and don't open any emails about Madonna having swine flu either. Apparently, some clever cyber bandits have seized on Madonna's celebrity appeal and the hysteria going around about the swine flu to make a spam email headline that's just almost too enticing to pass up ( I just had to click on it when I saw it in my news reader).

But don't click it.

It's not only a hoax, but if you click on the link in one of these emails, hackers could gain access to your computer's hard drive. I don't have to tell you what kind of crazy havoc they could wreak on your life with complete control over your hard drive.

Said Greg Day of McAfee on the "tricky" hackers, "We see attackers all the time try and trick us into infecting ourselves through the use of current affairs and popular topics… Here is a topic everyone is watching the news for information about and here's a big celebrity who people want to follow the gossip from. People will want to click it and that's the goal from the attackers.

Michelle Obama Weighs in On BO

trix — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:02:00 GMT

Bo Obama has been in the White House for a week and the verdict is in.

Michelle Obama says the dog is "Crazy."

She said that "Bo" loves to bark and play and also likes to chew on people's feet. She did say, she is spending lots of time walking and training Bo.

I bet the girls just love him, I wonder whose bed he sleeps on or if he's relegated to a dog house.

Adorable Obama Family Pictures

So I was going to do the whole, do you know who my parents are, thing with this picture, but I think it's sort of obvious.

Malia looks exactly the same and happens to look just like her mom.

Here are a couple more pictures, just for fun...

They are too cute.

Is Miley Cyrus Too Good For The Obamas?

trix — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:30:00 GMT

Okay, so it's really hard for the Obama girls to head out to the movies like every other little girl out there so they asked Miley Cyrus if she be willing to send them a copy of the movie for a White House Screening.

Guess what the brat with a sense of entitlement said, she said NO!

Miley said, "They want me to send them a copy, so we will - but, like everyone else, they have to wait 'til April 10th. Even the President."

Wow! I guess she won't ever be invited to the White House, poor girl, she really thinks something of herself doesn't she?

Michelle Obama Wants To Be A Role Model

trix — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 12:32:00 GMT

So, I think we've all done the Michelle Obama isn't pregnant thing to death.

What we haven't discussed though, is her dedication to her workout regimen. Not only is she determined to be in the best shape of her life, she wants her daughters to, " See a mother who takes care of herself, even if that means I have to get up at 4:30 so I can do a workout."

She also described Barack's excitement at Sasha's interest in basketball, "Barack's losing his mind, I was like, 'Settle down - don't act too excited, or she will not want to do it.'"

That's awesome, my husband and I try to take a little time each day to stop and play and do something physical with our boys for the same reason.

Barack Obama to Pen Book for the Kids

Barack Obama Opens Up About Sasha's Health Scare

trix — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:32:00 GMT

Last week Barack Obama told all of the internet how much he loves nurses. He went on to explain why he loves them during Thursday's Internet town-hall meeting.

He went on to explain that, “When Sasha, our little precious pea, was just three months old, she was hospitalized with life-threatening meningitis. The doctors did a terrific job, but frankly, it was the nurses that were there with us when she had to get a spinal tap and all sorts of things that were just bringing me to tears. And we’ve got a problem in this country, which is we have a shortage of nurses.”

”I’m biased toward nurses. “I just like nurses.”

It's such a scary situation when your child is in the hospital. You have no control and all you want to do is take their place.

I didn't know that Sasha was sick when she was little, maybe the Obamas do know what it's like to be the rest of us.

Michelle Obama Towers Over Other Women

trix — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:03:00 GMT

Two famous moms got together to laugh it up while is Washington D.C. while promoting and celebrating Women's History Month.

Michelle Obama and Sheryl Crow were photographed together, both all decked out in black.

How tiny is Sheryl Crow, that she can wear heels and still be shorter than Michelle Obama, who happens to be wearing flats? She's at least 4 inches shorter with heels and I can't quite tell how tall her shoes are, but it definitely has a sizable heel.

There's nothing like being the tall one of the bunch, I'm tall and have never felt delicate, I'm sure Michelle Obama has the same feelings at times.

Sasha and Malia are going to be really tall, good thing their mom is tall. She will be able to help them not feel as awkward as they might, growing up.

Barack and Michelle Obama are Still Parents First

trix — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:32:00 GMT

How long did your parent teacher conference last this year, 5 to 10 minutes? Was your child's teacher awed by your presence?

No, mine either.

I'm guessing this wasn't the case for Sasha Obama's parent teacher conference. President and Michelle Obama were at the school for about an hour and I'm sure Sasha was thankful the press wasn't allowed inside.

That was, of course, the right decision. Sasha is probably a great student, but no one wants the whole world to know their kid's business in school.

Kudos to the President for attending the conference as well because, he could have just said, you go Michelle, tell Sasha I love her.

Look Who Gets to Keep His Blackberry

trix — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 14:32:00 GMT

President Obama has won a major battle already and it has only been 4 days. He fought for it and now he gets to keep his Blackberry. Yay! for him.

Barack Obama admitted in the past that he is addicted to his Blackberry and wasn't sure what he was going to do if he became president and had to give it up. Now he doesn't have to.

He will be allowed to use his Blackberry to keep in touch with personal friends, senior staff and will be able to receive emails.

It's funny that the most powerful man in the world can't have a phone, it's like he gets all his information second hand. I wonder if he ever has to carry a wallet or man bag to hold all his stuff.

Ah, who am I kidding, he has people for that.

White House Spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said the president will limit its use, and security has been enhanced to ensure that Obama can communicate in a way that's protected. Only a small number of senior staff members and personal friends would be given his e-mail address.

Previous presidents chose not to use e-mail because it can be subpoenaed by Congress and courts and may be subject to public records laws. And Gibbs said the presumption from the White House counsel's office is that Obama's e-mails will be subject to the Presidential Records Act, which requires the National Archives to preserve presidential records.

What Celebudad Sperminated His Second Wife?

Oh the celebrity baby boom continues! What famous daddy knocked up his second wife? I suppose you want some hints, so here are a few: This will be his fourth child - he has a grown daughter from a previous relationship, two little girls with his ex-wife, who, I'm pretty sure he hates (the ex-wife not the kids) and I believe the feeling is mutual on her part, and he once shot his (then) fiance in the arm (by accident of course), he was (is?) known for his liking to prostitutes, and he's got famous family members. What's your guess?

Find out after the jump 'cause I know you're dying to know!

Two and a Half Men star, Charlie Sheen, 42 and his new wife, Brooke Mueller are expecting their first child together. Sheen released a statement to People, saying:

"Brooke and I are thrilled! She's the best stepmom Sam, Lola and Cassandra could ever hope for. Seeing her love and affection with those three, I know she'll be an amazing mom. Unless I bat 100 percent, perhaps a boy awaits us."

Congrats!

Barack Obama Assassination???

Sassy Smith — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 04:38:00 GMT

A breaking story - a Denver television station is claiming that police my have stopped an assassination plot against Barack Obama! The suspects may be part of a white supremacy group!

From TMZ:

KUSA-TV claims three men are in custody after a routine traffic stop in Aurora (near Denver) turned up two rifles, high-powered scopes, ammo and meth. The man in the car led authorities to a hotel where another suspect jumped out of a fourth floor window in an attempt to escape.

A third guy was busted at another hotel but the info on him is sketchy.

The arrests went down yesterday. The TV station says sources said "Two of the men had tattoos and jewelry popular with white supremacists."

The mugshot inset in the photo is of one of the suspects, Tharin Gartrell.

The Obama Text: Barack is My Booty Call

Whit Honea — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:16:00 GMT

Barack Obama sent out a text message and/or email to an elite few (or thousands) of people at a little before 5a.m. (ET) to officially announce his pick for his running mate before going to the media. That's 2 in the morning on the left coast.

That's right, just as I was stumbling out of the bar with a soiled liver and a loin full of hope I got beeped. That is perfect booty call timing. Turns out I wasn't his choice.

Actually, I was in bed. I'm a family man, you know. Barack Obama is also a family man and so is his pick Joe Biden (as we told you hours before the big news stations dared to run with it). Between Obama's young daughters and Biden's 5 grandchildren the South Lawn may soon be sporting some swings and one of those cool monkey bar things that looks like a dome. Those are awesome.

Here's the text officially announcing JoBama:

Whit --

I have some important news that I want to make official.

I've chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.

Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois -- the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago.

I'm excited about hitting the campaign trail with Joe, but the two of us can't do this alone. We need your help to keep building this movement for change.

Please let Joe know that you're glad he's part of our team. Share your personal welcome note and we'll make sure he gets it:

http://my.barackobama.com/welcomejoe

Thanks for your support,

Barack

P.S. -- Make sure to turn on your TV at 2:00 p.m. Central Time to join us or watch online at http://www.BarackObama.com.

See, Barack and I are close like that.

Obama Names Biden Vice President!

Whit Honea — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 01:07:00 GMT

Updated: This is now official! Yeah, you heard it here first!

Barack Obama's followers (and detractors) are filling internets, inboxes and cellphones with speculation that the presidential candidate has picked a running mate.

It is believed that Senator Joe Biden of Delaware will be the Vice Presidential Candidate on the 2008 Democratic ticket.

Some news agencies are already running the story, although no official word is expected until early Saturday morning.

Biden had 3 grown children and five grandchildren. He lost his first wife and a child in a car accident in 1972.

He has a reputation for speaking his mind and having a quick tongue. One of his most popular quotes was in regard to then-Republican candidate and frontrunner Rudy Giuliani "There's only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun, and a verb and 9/11."

We'll keep you posted.

Tony Gonzalez is a Hero

Whit Honea — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 19:01:00 GMT

Tony Gonzalez is on pace to be among the best, if not the best, tight ends of all time. Tight end is a football position and any resemblance to his ass is purely coincidence- and no, I'm not going to look.

Gonzalez was eating dinner in Hunnington Beach with his wife, his brother and his baby daughter when a patron at the next table started choking. This wasn't just heavy coughing and watery eyes choking, this was the everyone freezes and/or freaks-out kind of choking, like in the movies.

The choking man, Ken Hunter, had a piece of meat lodged in his throat and his dining companion started yelling, "He can't breathe, he can't breathe."

Gonzalez, who has never been trained in the Heimlich maneuver, realized that nobody else was going to act so he "jumped to his feet, wrapped his long, sinewy arms around the stricken man and began to squeeze. After a few seconds, the meat popped out and Hunter, a shipping company manager in Huntington Beach, recovered."

After the incident Hunter told the media, "Tony saved my life."

The story was so big that Gonzalez received a letter from President Bush (he can write?) and was even approached by Barack Obama at a campaign stop to discuss the heroics.

From the NFL:

"I never anticipated what an impact this would have," said Gonzalez, who arrived in River Falls on Thursday for the Chiefs' training camp.

"But now, looking back, I think with all the negative stuff that's in the media these days about NFL players and athletes in general, when a story like that comes out, it really grabs people's attention. I know it was an incredible situation the way it came down. I believe things happen for a reason. Hopefully, there'll be a domino affect."

Chiefs president Carl Peterson was traveling in Europe when his star tight end made news off the football field.

"Nothing surprises me about the abilities of Tony Gonzalez," Peterson said. "Thank God he was there, in the right place at the right time and reacted the way he did. The story was all over the world."

Shortly afterward, Peterson happened to run into Steve Tisch, part owner of the New York Giants, in France.

"We hugged each other and right away he said, `Hey, how about your tight end saving that guy's life?"'

Good for Tony Gonzalez and lucky for Ken Hunter, kind of pathetic for everyone else in the restaurant.

Girl, You Know It's True-You're Cancelled

trix — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:28:00 GMT

14:56 and counting, Denise Richards is on her way out. Her show Denise Richards: It's Complicated is almost done. The E! Network is considering pulling the plug on the show because the fans have become disenchanted with Denise's potty mouth and her shenanigans.

“Denise has turned into an unappealing reality star,” a spywitness tells Star. “The numbers started out pretty good-just over 1.5 million people tuned into the premiere episode. But the audience dropped out.”

The network received a deluge of complaints about her use of the f and c bombs. They were turned off by the thought of a mother with young children using that kind of language.

I've said before that she isn't my favorite celebrity and I'll stick to that.

Charlie Sheen Child Molester? Denise Says So!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 11:05:00 GMT

Just when you thought things between Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen were settling down and perhaps the two could get along for the sake of their two young daughters - something else comes up. And that something else is pretty huge - Denise claims that Charlie molested their girls! That's a very serious allegation....

It's no secret that Denise and Charlie do not like each other - hate is probably a better suited word. And now Charlie is seeking full custody of Sam and Lola after Denise's latest stunt.

Richards had called an emergency hearing last week to try to get her ex-husband's visitation suspended - the details were kept under wraps. However, a source said of the situation, "Denise's accusations were vile. She was basically trying to say Charlie [manipulated] the kids and acted inappropriately with them. It's disgusting and totally untrue. Charlie is furious.... Denise has really pushed it too far this time."

Denise dragged Charlie into court so they could view videos of the girls acting in "strange and disturbing" ways. Charlie's lawyers had the "supposed evidence" dismissed, and then presented their own videos of the girls acting normally at his house."

The source adds, "She came after Charlie because the ratings on her E! reality show, Denise Richards: It's Complicated have tanked and they were threatening not to renew.

"She thinks a court battle would be good for ratings so she wants all overnight visits with the girls ceased, and monitored visits with her nanny. She invited the media circus to the hearing and even wanted reporters in the judge's chambers - which wasn't allowed. It's ridiculous."

Charlie, obviously, is furious and he's "out to prove Denise's lack of veracity and sue her in civil court for defamation. Then he'll sue for child custody.

"Sheen feels Richards had defamed him, especially after she denied sending [current wife] Brooke an e-mail in which she claims to want his sperm for another child. Richards says the e-mail is a fake. Sheen claims he has the e-mail and is getting forensic computer geeks to verify it's authenticity.

"Charlie has now been forced to take a stand and do what's best for the girls."

Neither Sheen's or Richards' reps would comment.

If it's not true that Charlie molested his daughters (he might be a cad when it comes to his sex life with adults, but no way do I believe he hurt his girls!), Denise has stooped to a new low.

Sam and Lola deserve to have both parents in their lives and to also have calm and peace!

Breaking News: Denise Richards Calls Emergency Hearing to Remove Children from Charlie Sheen's Home

Karen — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:37:00 GMT

TMZ is reporting that Denise Richards and her lawyer called an emergency hearing to have Charlie Sheen's access to their children completely restricted! What is going on over there?

From TMZ:

We're told they told the judge there's a serious issue in Charlie's home that could have an adverse impact on the kids. The issue, we're told, is psychological and Denise wants professionals to evaluate things. In the meantime, she doesn't want her kids hanging around there.

Our spies say the judge, who's sitting in for the regular judge on the case who is on vacation, put the matter off until Monday.

Hersh told TMZ outside court, "These are serious issues regarding the children. I would hope we will be graced by Charlie Sheen's presence in court on Monday -- if he takes these matters seriously regarding his children, like Denise does."

I can't imagine what is going on in Sheen's house but I do know how fierce Denise is about her kids, and rightfully so. I just hope for the kids' sake that it's a valid concern and not something superfluous that has set this crazy train in motion.

Denise Richards Topless - Video

Sassy Smith — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:07:00 GMT

I've never watched an episode of Denise Richard's reality TV show Denise Richards: It's Complicated but maybe I should. The few 30 second clips that I've viewed were enough to make me want to drive rusty nails into my eyes, they were that good. I'm wondering what kind of message she is sending her daughters? In some of the clips Denise is obsessing over her weight - she's clearly not fat, yet calls herself a fat pig, is trying to find a quick way to get "bikini ready" within a week (uh, sorry, if you look like crap in a bikini right this minute, trust me, you're not doing anything within 7 days to change that - but she doesn't look like crap, that's the thing) and blabbering on about dieting and then ends up eating icecream. Sure, she says her girls don't watch the show or aren't featured "much" in the show, but still, her behavior is questionable. Anyhoo, you want to see the topless part, so let's get on with it, shall we?

Video clips after the jump!

Watching this is sorta like when someone scrapes their fingernails down a chalkboard. Enjoy!
