Eminem Takes No Chances When It Comes To Swine Flu

Josh loposer — Wed, 06 May 2009 11:32:00 GMT

A 20 pills a day habit? he's done it. A cocktail of valium, methadone, Abien? Eminem has survived it. The man has no concern when it comes to his health ... except when it's threatened by swine flu.

Apparently, Marshall Mathers has bought into the hysteria surrounding the recent swine flu pandemic. When he and his posse arrived in France, a country of 4 out of 60 million had been diagnosed with the flu, they were all donning surgical masks.

There's really no telling if this was a serious precaution, a joke, or just a good excuse for a famous rapper to hide his identity. Still it could mean the start of a healthier, safer Eminem, which is definitely a positive thing for his 13-year-old daughter Hailie Jade Scott.

You don't want to bring home a nasty strain of the swine flu and give it to your family, like what happened to Lisa Rinna's family.

Heidi Klum Doesn't Take Chances

trix — Tue, 05 May 2009 15:27:00 GMT

Heidi Klum and Seal rescheduled their wedding vow renewal ceremony, because it was to take place in Mexico.

The couple had plans to visit Costa Careyes this month to renew their vows on this, their fourth anniversary. Of course, with the fear of contracting swine flu especially while pregnant was enough to keep the couple close to home.

I was going to ask why they were going to renew their vows so soon, but I see they do this every year, same date and same place.

I want to renew our vows on our tenth anniversary, just for fun, so our kids can participate.

Have you ever or will you renew your vows?

Lisa Rinna and Family Had The Swine Flu

trix — Mon, 04 May 2009 16:28:00 GMT

Lisa Rinna and her family had a scare last week, she believes that they all had the swine flu.

She told ET, "I believe we all, except for myself, had the swine flu at our house. How do you know it's the swine flu? I don't know but we had all the symptoms."

"We had it before it came out. ...We had it at our house, I believe, and everyone is fine."

We had it here at my house, too. We're all okay as well, thanks for asking.

Madonna Too Immoral To Adopt, Says Mercy James' Father

Josh loposer — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 23:00:00 GMT

On the heels of rumors that Madonna has swine flu, Mercy James' biological father is going public with exactly what he thinks about Madonna's abilities as a role model.

Agreed, some of the things Madonna has said and done publicly -- like making out with train wreck Britney Spears -- don't exactly make her the beacon of moral rectitude. Still, dude, are you sure you want to rip on Madonna's code of ethics?

Last time I checked, you're the one who knocked up Mercy's mother, denied it, ran away, and didn't even send condolences when she died. At least, that's the story according to Mercy's grandfather.

Here's what the estranged father had to say about Madonna:

"I don't think Madonna is a model mum. I have seen her in movies of her songs. She doesn't portray good morals.

"How can a woman of 50 dance almost naked on stage? I wouldn't want my daughter to grow up like that! In Malawi women respect themselves. Cultured women do not go about half-naked.

"I also heard after her marriage failed she is already seeing two men, both very younger than her and her ex-husband. I hear one of them is even less than half her age.

"That's scandalous. How can a normal woman fall for a boy who can as well be her son? No, spare my Mercy that scandal."

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.

Can You Compete With Madonna?

trix — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 21:32:00 GMT

Someone took a survey to find out who is the hardest working mom in showbiz. Why on earth would they do that? Are they trying to invalidate every other mom out there?

The winner of this dubious award is Madonna. She is the hardest working mom out there. *cough* *cough*

This poll irritates me on several levels. First, according to reports of her staff, Madonna doesn't spend a whole lot of time with her kids. The kids are lucky to get a half an hour a day with her. Second, just because she topped the earnings list means diddely squat to her kids. Third, I think this kind of poll is ridiculous because, people like you and me, who work our asses off for little more than the kisses our kids give us before they go to bed at night could never compete. I don't know about you but after I play chef, housekeeper, nanny and chauffeur, I'm beat.

I bet my kids think I'm the hardest working mom they know.

Michael Jackson: Who's Laughing Now?

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 23:10:00 GMT

Michael Jackson took his kids Paris, Prince Michael and Prince Michael II shopping at the Ed Hardy store in Hollywood on Wednesday. Looks like every day is Mardi Gras for Jacko's kids.

Remember how everyone used to make fun of Michael for wearing those silly masks? It appears he might have been ahead of his time, since the cover-up has become the hottest accessory lately due to the swine flu outbreak.

Don't laugh - bet in a few years we'll all be wearing fedoras and fake noses, too.

Wolverine's Premiere in Mexico Postponed Due to Swine Flu

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 20:50:00 GMT

I guess even Wolverine is no match for a looming pandemic. Twentieth Century Fox has decided to postpone Wednesday's Mexico City premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine due to the growing concerns over the swine flu virus that has virtually paralyzed that city. Says a rep for the studio:

"We were not only concerned about Hugh's welfare – and we would never send anyone into harm's way – but we also have an enormous office filled with people we care about. There was no point in proceeding under the current conditions.

"There is a possibility it could be rescheduled. Hugh is obviously beloved [there] so we'll see what happens. We'll monitor the situation."

Probably a wise decision, as I've heard that Hugh often travels with his whole family in tow and I'm sure that there is concern that he and other cast members could possibly put their kids and family members at risk.

Me, I'll be seeing Wolverine with a face mask and purse full of hand sanitizer.
