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 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.

Angelina Jolie and Jack Black: The Video That Rocked the World!

Whit Honea — Fri, 16 May 2008 00:28:00 GMT

How's that for build-up? Sure, Jack Black rocks in lots of videos, but never quite like this. As we reported before Black accidentally released information into the world that had only been speculation and rumor- the fact that Angelina Jolie is indeed pregnant with twins. Indeed!

Here's the video that started it all- asuming that this isn't another "joke" by Jolie and her cast of thousands (give or take a thousand).

Give Them Beatles and Circuses

What do you get when you add the Grammys, Tom Hanks, the Beatles, the cast of Across the Universe and a bunch of crazy and limber French-Canadians (Cirque du Soleil)?

I Thought You Were Classy San Diego

Whit Honea — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 18:01:00 GMT

Heath Ledger had only been dead a couple of hours before the Best Buy in Mission Valley/San Diego, and I assume many other stores, were trying to turn a buck of his passing. Is this a thoughtful tribute or capitalism at its worst?

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.

Sports Talk: The Fabulous Biggio Boys

Whit Honea — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 17:59:00 GMT

I guess there is crying in baseball.

Craig Biggio just spent 20 seasons with the Houston Astros. Yesterday was his last game. Ever. His sons Connor and Cavan got to sit in the dugout with their dad and watch the tributes.

Twenty years is damn impressive. Congratulations and good luck to the Biggio family.
