Jade Goody's Family: Don't Make Her Grave a Shrine!

Karl Erikson — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 20:03:00 GMT

Since Jade Goody's funeral on Saturday, her family has asked fans of the reality TV star to steer clear of Jade's grave. Jade was buried in a private churchyard, complete with wooden cross on her grave and a brass plaque that says, "In Loving Memory of Jade Goody."

Jade's husband, Jack Tweed, was hoping that Jade's grave location would stay secret. That didn't last very long, since over 100 people visited Jade's grave yesterday. "Only a few people were meant to know about this place," a source said to The Sun. "The family wanted it that way. There's talk of getting security here if it gets out of hand."

"Jack is not happy. He doesn't want the whole graveyard being trampled by strangers. The family really hoped their privacy would be respected. They don't want to turn it into a shrine."

The funeral involved a 27-mile procession through East London and to Jade's home in Upshire, Essex. Hundreds of fan stood along the route. Jade left two sons behind, Bobby and Freddie, ages 5 and 6.

Kerry Katona: Mom Of 4 Hooked On Cocaine!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:06:00 GMT

Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona is reportedly so addicted to drugs, she can't function without them. She and husband Mark Croft are struggling to keep their marriage together and this has added to Katona's stress. Kerry is also a mother of four - and who is caring for the children while she's high?

According to sources, Katona binges on cocaine, amphetamines and anti-depressants to help her handle the stresses of her life, including her fragile marriage. She told pals that cocaine is the "only way I can function. It's the only way I can get this sorted."

She's snorted so much cocaine, she now has a hole in her nose. A source said, "Kerry is completely addicted to drugs. It is worse than ever and she is close to the edge. She takes them all day every day. She simply can't cope without her fix.

"Kerry's very aware of the hole now. She gets paranoid about it as things get trapped up there. It;s starting to look like Danniella Westbrook before her surgery.

"When Kerry's stepdad died it really affected her and she turned to drugs then. It’s tragic. Kerry doesn’t have an off button.

"Her cocaine intake always goes up massively when things are bad.

"Kerry had been taking a lot of coke anyway but when Mark walked out her intake increased loads. And when she came down from the binge, she started pining for Mark.

"Any time Kerry has friends round she wants everyone to join in [taking cocaine]. She just hammers it and stays up for three full days."

The friend added, "Then her body goes into shutdown and she’ll finally go to sleep. It's so unhealthy because she's on bipolar medication as well. When things get really bad she'll just sit on the bathroom floor off her face."

If this is true, who the hell is looking after her children? She's mom to Molly Marie, 7, Lilly-Sue, 6 (with ex Brian McFadden) and with husband Mark Croft, she has Heidi Elizabeth, 2, and son Maxwell, 11 months.

Kerry admitted to drug use back in 2004, and entered rehab. In 2006 she said she'd been clean since receiving treatment. But last year she was accused of being drunk on a British morning talk show. Is Katona on another downhill slide?

Bikini Time! Kerry Katona Shows Off Beautiful New Body

Sassy Smith — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 12:02:00 GMT

Former Atomic Kitten member, Kerry Katona, after having her fourth child, decided to have surgery to help in her weight loss, as well as have her breasts reduced. She said of the results, "I love it! I actually cried at first because I was so shocked. It is a big difference - but as the weeks have gone by, my waist has got smaller, my boobs have been healing and now I can wear size 10 tops!" Now, she doesn't mind showing off that body - and was recently spotted vacationing with her husband Mark Croft.

More pics after the jump!

Katona and Croft spent time soaking up the sun in Spain, and the MTV reality star didn't mind flaunting her new figure in a revealing bikini.

Kerry spent a reported $30,000 on surgery, lost over 60 pounds and her breasts went from a GG cup to an E.

The celebrity mom said of wearing a size 10 shirts, "I couldn't even get my t*ts into them before! Before the surgery, I was a GG - now I'm an E. I feel sexier, my confidence has come back and everyone keeps telling me how amazing I look, which is really cool."

However, she didn't just rely on the surgery to help her in her quest to lose weight. She's changed her diet, and although she allows herself a treat on the weekend, she sticks to her routine during the week. With the help of her trainer, Scott Wright, she eats a more healthy selection of foods, adhering to 1,800 calories a day. She also drinks lots of water and has green tea with all meals to help speed up her metabolism.

Scott said he doesn't think she needed liposuction. He told Closer magazine, "I'm not totally against liposuction but instead of lipo, Kerry could have lost a lot of that fat in a month, with the right diet and exercise."

Kerry, who suffers from bipolar disorder, is much happier now, reveals her trainer.

He adds, "Kerry has found exercising improves her moods. It's amazing how much more positive she's been since I first met her.

"She was determined to change her lifestyle so she was in the right mindset. She loves exercising now, and it's given her a good reason to get up in the mornings."

Scott says that Kerry is very motivated, "I'd heard of Kerry before and knew everything she's been through. But I found her to be one of the most motivated people I've ever trained.

"She got into it within a few weeks. And she was determined. If she ever lost her enthusiasm and said in the middle of a run, 'I can't go on any more,' which was rare, I'd tell her she was letting me down, and that would get her going again!

"She's still smoking, but there's no way I'd let her have a cigarette during our sessions!"

Kerry is mom to Molly Marie, 7, Lilly-Sue, almost 6 (their dad is Katona's ex Brian McFadden), and Heidi Elizabeth, 23 months, and Maxwell, 9 months, are her children with Mark Croft.

Kerry Katona's Stressed-Out Nanny Quits!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 12:10:00 GMT

Kerry Katona's nanny, Gemma, has reportedly quit - she was often left to single-handedly look after all four of Katona's children and was subjected to her employer's constant fighting with husband Mark Croft.

Former Atomic Kitten performer, Kerry has four children - Molly, 7, Lilly Sue, 5, Heidi 22 months and Maxwell, 8 months. Both Kerry and husband Mark tried to convince Gemma to stay. A source said, "No amount can compensate for the hassle she deals with."

Gemma's pal added, "She's fed up of listening to Kerry and Mark scream at each other and being left to look after four kids single-handedly most of the time."

Kerry's known for causing controversy - she was photographed smoking during some of her pregnancies, has been accused of being an alcoholic, has slurred her way through interviews and has had some very public tantrums. She's often labeled as "trainwreck."

An insider close to Katona said, "It would do her good to look after the kids herself. It would be good for her image too.

"She is terrified of losing her Iceland deal, her main source of income. Showing she's a hands-on mum would help."

I'm not knocking anyone with a nanny (heck, there were times I wished I had one!), especially if they're a working parent - but what I don't understand is why some people want the nanny to practically raise the kids?

Perhaps Kerry should get her act together for the sake of her children. Just sayin'.

Sassy Smith — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 14:10:00 GMT

Kerry Katona's future as the face of Iceland, a UK frozen food giant, is hanging in the balance. The reality tv star made an appearance on a British morning show a few weeks ago, and she was allegedly drunk and now Iceland is waiting the results of an alcoholism test.

The food company reportedly received angry customer complaints about Katona's "drunken" appearance. Kerry's husband Mark Croft said, "Iceland sorted everything out for us. They said: "We're concerned about Kerry, and want to make sure everything is fine."

A source told The Mirror, "There was a lot of anger that Kerry was allowed on to the This Morning show in the first place. Iceland have been shocked by the scale of the fall-out but are sticking by her for now - especially since she is appearing in a current series of ads."

The Iceland deal is worth nearly $500,000! Pretty nice chunk of change. And Kerry lost her well-paying OK! Magazine column a few days after her morning show appearance and she and her long-term publicist, Max Clifford are no longer together.

However, Katona denies she was drunk. She said her slurred words and behavior were due to her bi-polar disorder medication.

But Kerry isn't letting this bump in the road get her down. Over the weekend, she launched her new fragrance Outrageous in Manchester. Appropriately named I think.

Hopefully she wasn't drunk on the morning tv show - doesn't set a great example for her four children. (That's a shot of her doing shots...no pun...on her MTV show Kerry Katona: Whole Again). Ya, she probably wasn't drunk on that talk show.

Katona recently went under the knife and is happily showing off her new body.

Kerry Katona Strips Down & Shows Off Her New Body!

Sassy Smith — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 15:04:00 GMT

Former Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona gave birth to her fourth child a few months ago and decided she needed some help getting back to her pre-baby shape. So the MTV reality star, had £15,000 (about $30,000) worth of plastic surgery to help her achieve that. And she's stripping down to show the world!

More pics after the jump!

Katona stripped down for men's mag Zoo and spoke of how her body has changed. As well, the show which filmed her journey through the surgery will air Sunday on MTV.

The 28-year-old said, "I love it! I actually cried at first because I was so shocked. It is a big difference - but as the weeks have gone by, my waist has got smaller, my boobs have been healing and now I can wear size 10 tops!

She continued, "I couldn't even get my t*ts into them before! Before the surgery, I was a GG - now I'm an E. I feel sexier, my confidence has come back and everyone keeps telling me how amazing I look, which is really cool."

And that my friends, is what some cold hard cash and surgery gets you.

Kerry Katona's Boob Job

Sassy Smith — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:08:00 GMT

Crazy In Love MTV reality star, Kerry Katona is crazy in the head I think. The former Atomic Kitten and mom of four, is apparently getting a boob job, and although lots of women get their breasts done - either enlarged or reduced - most don't do it on TV. Yes, Kerry wants to televise her surgery, because that's what we all want to see....

Katona's new series will be titled Whole Again *cough* and she will undergo a breast reduction and the surgery will be filmed. Her boobs will go from a GG to a DD. Kerry told Star mag, "They have just got a bit out of control. I want to go to a DD. I'll stop there."

There's also been talk of the British actress being bankrupt (a court said so), but she says not true. Katona says that the funds she neede to pay her tax bill weren't available last week at the time of the hearing but are free and clear now. Kinda like 'the check's in the mail right?'

Kerry said, "Obviously I'm upset about it but it shouldn't have happened. I've been promised that it will be sorted out this week."

Maybe her televised boob job will pay the tax man!

Jodie Sweetin's Coming Back to Television

Karen — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 18:33:00 GMT

Move over Tori Spelling! Jodie Sweetin became a mother in April and now she's gearing up to star in a reality television show about her life.

The former Full House star is in talks with networks, but "nothing has been signed yet," she says.

“We actually got approached about doing it by multiple people. It was one of those things where we were like, ‘Wow. Let’s totally do it.’ I think it’s sort of a fun way to show the other side of celebrity and a sort of semi-normal life.”

“We’re going to start shooting in a couple months.”

Sweetin has been blogging for OK magazine since the birth of daughter Zoie.

Is anyone really going to watch this? Not me. I'd rather scrub my tub than watch yet another celebrity reality television show.

Kerry Katona Awarded Damages for Newspaper's False Prostitution Claim

Karen — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:31:00 GMT

The Sunday Mirror landed itself in hot water after publishing a story claiming Kerry Katona was a prostitute prior to Atomic Kitten fame. The article alleged that Kerry's mother, Sue Katona was going to publish a book claiming same.

Katona's solicitor, David Price said: "The truth is that Sue Katona has never alleged that the claimant worked as a prostitute in the book or at any other time and such an allegation would be entirely untrue.

"Moreover, Sue Katona has not to date written an autobiography nor does she have a publishing agreement to publish such a book."

Check your sources people!

No word if husband Mark Croft is allowed back in the house yet.

OMG! They Just Had A Baby & They're Fighting Already?!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:02:00 GMT

Having a new baby can be stressful, no doubt about that - but what's happening to this couple? He went and spent the night in a hotel....

It seems as if though Kerry Katona and husband Mark Croft are not getting along very well of late - the couple have had several major arguments and last week Mark left Kerry and their two kids - Heidi, 2, and Max, 3 months (Molly, 6, and Lilly-Sue, 4, live with their father Brian McFadden), and spent the night in a hotel.

Mark did return the next night and the couple hope to work things out.

Croft's mom Marilyn, had this to say about it to the Sunday People:

"It must have been a huge row for him to have taken them to a hotel. He and the kids spent the night away from the house but went back the following morning.

"If it was just Kerry and Mark I wouldn't care about their arguments, but it's the kids I worry about."

The couple have been plagued by cheating rumors for months - but both deny such claims.

Well, we'll see what becomes of this very, uh, 'passionate' couple!

Denise Richards House Is For Sale-Neighbors Ecstatic

trix — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 18:02:00 GMT

Denise Richards' neighbors want her out. Where will she and her girls go?

Denise Richards is going to have to move if she wants to keep filming her show, Denise Richards: It's Complicated. Her neighbors have launched a protest that her show is disrupting the neighborhood stating that it's a gated community not a zoo.

Maybe they have seen the show and want her to stop filming because they hate it. Whatever the reason, we should see her house hunting here in the not to distant future. Is it going to take her as long to find a house as it took her to hire an assistant?

To all of you who are outraged by the amount of dogs that she has, she has 14, well we can all relax because she has received a warning letter saying that she can only have 3 dogs or she has to get a kennel license.
Do you think she'll get a lawyer for that too?

Mother and son are reportedly doing fine and Kerry's rep said, "It was a natural birth and mother and baby are doing well. Kerry and Mark are thrilled to bits."

Little Max Croft weighed in at 5 lbs 4 oz and will probably be spoiled by his three older sisters. Max sure is a popular name this year among celebrities!

Denise Richards Won't Discuss Weight With Daughters

Sassy Smith — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 11:03:00 GMT

Denise Richards is on the cover of Shape's May issue and she discusses body image and how it pertains to her two young daughters.

Richards says, "They'll never hear me say, 'Mommy's feeling fat today.' That kind of attitude just makes young girls grow up to be dissatisfied with their bodies."

Denise said that being fit comes with her job and she hopes that her healthy attitude towards eating and being fit will stick with her girls as they grow up.

"Working out is part of my life, not just an I-have-to-get-ready-for-a-photo-shoot thing. I exercise almost every day. The girls usually play in the workout room with me, so they're learning by example."

The actress wants Sam and Lola to feel good about themselves, and it's that positive attitude that she inherited from her mom Joni, who passed away recently. She said, "Even at the end, when things were really dire for my mother, she was never negative. There was an inner strength about her."

You know, I've rarely written anything favorable about Denise (I still don't like the fact that she puts her girls on a reality show) but I do have to give her credit for giving her girls a positive attitude about body and self image. It's hard parenting little girls in this day and age because we are all bombarded with unrealistic images on magazines and TV etc, and it's sometimes a tough battle showing girls it's okay to not to be a size zero and still be fit in mind and body. I believe Denise is on the right track about this! Now if she'd stop exploiting them on television, then I'd be even more impressed.

Denise Richards Is An Obnoxious Mother

Charlie Sheen Is The Best Parent

Denise Richards Is An Obnoxious Mother

Sassy Smith — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:01:00 GMT

I don't know Denise Richards personally, but seriously, the more I hear about her, the more I think she gives off a certain vibe: OBNOXIOUS.

For her daughter Sam's fourth birthday party, she decided on a "spa day." The kid is four - how about barbies or magic or one of those jumping things? Nope, let's send the preschoolers to a spa. If her daughter was turning 13, that might be a more age appropriate idea, but, I think there's more to it than just trying to be a bit "showy."

From the Star:

“There was a sign on the front door that said ‘Sammi’s Spa,’” a source tells Star. “And waiting there were tiny bathrobes monogrammed with each kid’s name,” the source notes. All the girls got their nails painted and their hair done, while the boy’s hair was styled into Mohawks.

Oh let's note that this was all filmed for Richards' reality TV show, so I'm quite certain the sheesheepoopoo spa day wasn't about the four year olds, more likely a publicity stunt to make Denise look like a super fantastic awesome mom who knows how to throw a party! Sorry, but I think it makes her look like a douche - she and Charlie are tied now.

Denise and Charlie had battled it out in court - whether or not the reality show would be a reality - and she won. Richards claimed that her girls wanted to be on TV and they love to dress up and get their hair done. Um, sure little girls love to do that stuff but uh, they can do that without being paraded around on TV. They're 2 and 4, so yes, they probably know what's best for themselves and being exploited on television is the way to go.

Denise recently had her name changed to get rid of her married name "Sheen" and had her "Charlie" tattoo changed into a fairy. Fine, you're divorced, so I don't blame her for changing her name or getting rid of the tattoo, but it's almost as if she's wanting to rid Charlie from her life forever. Good luck with that - Charlie is the father of your babies, so I doubt he's going away anytime soon.

I'm sure her show will be a hit and make her look like the fantastic mother she is. You know, I wonder why these two got divorced? They seem to be made for each other.

In another twist of the public battle between Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, Richards has filmed a segment of her new reality television show that has Charlie Sheen looking, well, like a fairy.

In an effort to erase Sheen from her life, People reported "On Friday, Richards, 37, formally requested a family court to legally restore her maiden name from “Denise Sheen.” Over the weekend, she also visited a tattoo parlor where she had her “Charlie” tattoo changed into a fairy — in front of cameras for her show, her rep confirms."

Hoping Alli Sims Doesn't Follow ALL of Britney's Footsteps

Britney's cousin and ex-assistant Alli Sims has been trying to launch a music career and recently inked a deal for a reality show. "It'll be like Entourage, only different," says a source. it will showcase Alli and her friends. You know, like all the other chicks you can catch at the mall. Everybody is their own star these days, huh?

This world needs another reality show like it needs another Britney Spears.

Dina Lohan: Empowering Mothers, And Fame-Hungry Cougars, Everywhere

HerBadMother — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 20:33:00 GMT

You know, there is just so much not to like about Dina Lohan. She aided and abetted her elder daughter in substance abuse, she made every effort to ensure that said daughter took the best-paying but most craptastic jobs available in Hollywood (Herbie? Really?), she did everything in her power to wedge herself into the spotlight alongside daughter, and then, when that poor, wasted daughter finally collapsed from drug abuse and existential crisis, she moved onto her other, less-used-up kids to see if she could wring a bit of fame and fortune out of them. That, and she uses way too much self-tanner.

So when she comes out and promotes her new reality show - it's about the non-Lindsay Lohans! And how they're all gonna be big stars! With Mom's stellar guidance! - as a work that promotes the empowerment of single moms and mothers, well, that just makes me want to step on her toes, hard.

Says Ms. Lohan: "(The show) is about empowering women to be successful single mothers. About being in the limelight without compromising motherhood."

Oh, sure. It really is that simple to be an uncompromising, successful mother: you just horn in on your children's lives and ~~whore them out~~ set them up as little entertainers whose careers you can piggyback to your own fame and fortune and a lifetime supply of Botox.

I hope that you were all taking notes there. That advice is golden. Thanks, Dina!
