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.

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.

Jane McGrath's memorial service was attended by many mourners clad in pink, the color that symbolizes the fight against breast cancer to which McGrath recently lost her battle.

In a tender and bittersweet gesture McGrath's children, James and Holly, blew bubbles outside of the church, a tribute to the fact that their parents were wed in the same church in 1999. The children were accompied by their father Glenn.

Stuff About Matthew Fox to Justify Posting the Alternate LOST Endings- VIDEO!!

Whit Honea — Sat, 31 May 2008 00:03:00 GMT

Matthew Fox has enjoyed living in Hawaii the past four years while filming LOST. He is glad that his family has been spared the blanket of paparazzi that would surely follow them stateside. He might move them all to Oregon when the show is over. Yada, yada, yada.

So, speaking of LOST, did you see the season finale last night? SPOILERS AHEAD

By the way, "spoilers" mean that I'm going to say stuff about the show that you probably don't want to know if you intend to watch it on TiVo later.

Locke? Dead? What? Benthem? Who? Island? Move? Jack likes the Pixies? What?

So, apparently the creators of LOST had a few choices to make last night. They filmed 3 different versions in case the one they planned was leaked in the media. Hey, we wouldn't do that. We might spoil Sex and the City, but not something important.

For the record, I thought it was fairly obvious who was in the coffin. I even remember calling it during the first flash-forward about it like 8 seasons ago. Yes, I am that good.

Here are the two alternate endings that they didn't, thankfully, have to use:

Rapper's Newborn Son Passes Away

Sassy Smith — Mon, 26 May 2008 20:36:00 GMT

How very sad - Rapper, actor, and TV host of Pimp My Ride, Xzibit has blogged on Myspace, telling his fans that his newborn son Xavier Kingston Joiner passed away.

Here is what he wrote:

"ITS 4:32AM AND I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS........

As you all know I told shared with you the announcment of my newborn son Xavier Kingston Joiner on may 15th and also informed you that he was born prematurly. well this week was extremly difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own. Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am and I must tell you this, It is unatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when im having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them, dont take a second you get to hug them teach them and care for them for granted. You can have all the material wealth in the universe but it is NOTHING compared to having your family. I am thankful for all of my blessings and im not one to question God's perfect plan, so I leave you with great love and thanks for the love that was sent earlier on my pervious blog to my son. Of course I need to take some time and handle my loss, STAY FOCUSED PEOPLE. Its not promised to any of us."

We are very sorry for his loss.

Mattel To Release Heath Ledger Doll

HerBadMother — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:27:00 GMT

This, I think, is a tad disturbing: just a week after Heath Ledger's funeral, toy company Mattel has announced that it will release a Heath Ledger doll. You know, for the kiddies.

From Page Six:

Mattel has announced that the company will be releasing two dolls featuring Heath as the Joker. One version will come with a rocket launcher and the other will be armed with a little knife and both will be marketed to coincide with the release of The Dark Knight in July.

A spokesman for the Ledger family says that they gave the project their blessing: "Heath was very proud of his work in the film and his family is aware and supportive of the plans for the movie."

It's nice that his family is supportive, but isn't the only relevant party here his daughter? Who's going to explain to Matilda why it is that Daddy only comes in miniature - and creepy, lipsticked knife-wielding supervillian miniature, at that? I know that knife-wielding Joker dolls aren't marketed to pre-schoolers, but still. I find it creepy.

Heath's Family - Matilda Will Grow Up Like Heath

Sassy Smith — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 16:06:00 GMT

With the tragic death of Heath Ledger, comes the sad reality that his baby daughter will grow up without him. However, Heath's family vows that Matilda will be raised as an Aussie, and have a carefree childhood just like her daddy did.

The Ledger family plan to stand by Michelle and hope that their grandchild will have that Aussie connection.

I'm sure between Ledger's parents and siblings and Michelle Williams, little Matilda will grow up with her father's spirit and the best memories of him.

Michelle is lucky to have such a wonderful, loving support system for herself and her little girl.

Michelle Williams' Magazine Cover - Beautiful

Michelle Williams - "My Heart is Broken"

Michelle Williams' Magazine Cover - Beautiful

Sassy Smith — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 16:05:00 GMT

Michelle Williams looks beautiful on the March cover of Wonderland Magazine. She discusses motherhood, her friendship with Tom and Katie and her insecurities. The interview and photos were done prior to Heath Ledger's passing. Read on for highlights:

One more pic after the jump!

On balancing motherhood with work:
“It’s not easy. Last April I was over in London doing a movie called Incendiary with Ewan McGregor. It’s about a woman grieving after losing her husband and son in a terrorist attack. It was a brutal role and arduous: six-day weeks, 14 hour-days. I was like the walking dead towards the end. Matilda would visit me everyday on-set for lunch and I’d race home to put her to bed. My only days off were Sundays and as much as I’d want to pass out, I’d try to take her out somewhere fun so she didn’t associate me with boredom. The only time that is really my own these days is after I’ve put her to bed and until I go to bed. That’s about two hours.”

On whether she attended Katie Holmes’ wedding:
“Everybody wants to know that. No, I didn’t go because I was working on The Tourist. To be honest, we’re not really in touch.”

On whether she would describe herself as vain:
“I have insecurity masquerading as vanity. I don’t think I’m vain as an actress but I’m probably more so as a person. Again, it goes back to that thing about when I’m working is the only time when I don’t judge myself. I feel totally open to exploring all the sides of my physical self in my work. While I’m working I really don’t give a fuck how I look. Afterwards, if I have to watch it, I might have some problems.”

On whether becoming a mom has changed her:
“I feel like I didn’t have any relationship with my body before Matilda. Well I did, but it was just a bad one. After having my daughter I can’t judge myself in the same way. My body has done this totally miraculous but utterly ordinary thing. The downside is that my vocabulary has shrunk to the size of a pea. Since having a kid I just don’t have the same access to the world. I don’t see as many shows, I don’t go to many movies and I hardly read any books anymore. I’m lucky to make it through a book a month. So you start to develop in a much more non-verbal way, which can be so frustrating. Also there’s been a lot going on in my personal life and part of me is… I don’t know. I shouldn’t talk about it but it’s like I’m re-emerging back into the world or something.”

Heath Ledger Died of Natural Causes?

Sassy Smith — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 02:41:00 GMT

TMZ is reporting that actor Heath Ledger may have died of natural causes - although only 28, it's certainly possible. They said:

It sounds strange, but sources intimately connected with the Heath Ledger investigation tell TMZ it's possible the actor died of natural causes.

The reason they think that -- it's now appearing that the level of toxicity (from medication) in Ledger's system was low enough that it may not have caused his death. These sources say Heath's heart stopped. It could have been a heart attack but it's not certain, at least not yet. Although it's bizarre that a 28-year-old could die of natural causes, it happens.

I hope when the full toxicology reports come back, that there are answers, obviously for his family's sake. It would be awful to have to live with the uncertainly of what really happened especially for his loved ones.

Pimp C Funeral

Sassy Smith — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 17:36:00 GMT

Pimp C remembered today by family and friends. His funeral was to be held at the Robert A. Bowers Civic Center in his southest Texas hometown of Port Arthur. The funeral was open to the public, but the burial is limited to close family and friends.

Pimp C was found dead on December 4th in the Mondrian Hotel in L.A. He was only 33. Officials said the rapper, died in bed and no signs of foul play were found. Autopsy and toxicology reports have not been made available yet.

The rapper, who's real name is Chad Butler, was one half of rap duo Underground Kingz. Just this year, UGK snagged their first No. 1 album, partly because of the single "International Player's Anthem (I Choose You), which featured Outkast. Two days after Pimp C's passing, the single gave UGK their first Grammy nomination in the "Best Performance by a rap duo or group" category. RIP Pimp C.

Sean Taylor Remembered

Whit Honea — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 18:29:00 GMT

The funeral services for fallen NFL player Sean Taylor were held today in Florida. Thousands of mourners, including the members of the Washington Redskins and actor Andy Garcia, were present to pay their respects.

Rev. Jesse Jackson provided an eulogy in which he proclaimed that, "Our American house is on fire. We've become much too violent. We accept violence as the norm . . . It is uncivilized. It must be rejected."

Yesterday, the players of every NFL team wore Sean's number, 21, on their respective helmets to honor him. A moment of silence was also observed prior to each game.

Personally, I thought the most touching of the tributes was made by his teammates on the Redskin defense. Their first play from scrimmage had only ten men, leaving a void where one had fallen.

Sean Taylor was 24.

Britney Spears Adopting Two Girls And Planning Her Funeral?

Sassy Smith — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 12:02:00 GMT

There are reports that Britney Spears, aka TRAINWRECK, is adopting two children. Sources say that Spears has chosen to adopt twin girls from China, 6 years old and is just finalizing the details. Here's my problem with this: We're talking about Britney. Britney Spears. A woman, who can't even look after the two sons she produced with Kevin Federline, yet an adoption agency saw her fit enough to adopt twins? Pfftt. Spears wouldn't even qualify for adopting a freakin' Cabbage Patch Doll, let alone, TWO HUMAN BEINGS. A source said, the girls from China would "fill the void" left by her losing custody of her sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James,1. Ah okay. They're kids, not shoes for petesake. You don't just "replace" people. Please let this NOT BE TRUE.

In other earth shattering, head shaking, eye rolling, Britney news, she's allegedly dropped 50 grand on planning her own funeral. I guess it's not unusual to plan ahead, although I don't know too many 26 year olds, that plan their own funeral arrangements at such a young age. However, why doesn't Spears spend that kind of money on, say, rehab, so she can get her life together, get her boys back, and LIVE, rather than planning her death? She's just so bizarre.
