Whit Honea — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:39:00 GMT

According to ET, the Travolta family had the remains of 16-year-old Jett cremated on Monday.

Officials announced at a press conference that the ashes will be given to John Travolta on Tuesday in time for Jett's funeral service in Ocala.

Unfortunately I know something about teen funerals. Tomorrow is going to be a hard day.

Updated! Jessica Seinfeld: Does Oprah Endorse Cheating?

Whit Honea — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 16:00:00 GMT

I was just kidding when I compared Jessica Seinfeld to James Frey , but some people aren't laughing- namely Missy Chase Lapine, the woman that published a cookbook called The Sneaky Chef which is just like Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious, except that it was written first.

Apparently the differences are few and the similarities many- recipes and combinations, even the cover.

Does Jerry know about this? What's next, his Bee Movie was first produced by a fan-site for Honey Nut Cheerios?

And Oprah? What's her role in this?

By the way, Oprah, if you're reading this, I'm working on a book right now that I think you should consider. It's called Rocko and Julie. It's an original story about star-crossed lovers and their family feud. It has swords, poison and light through yonder windows. You'll love it!! Call me.

UPDATE: Jezebel has a great take on Seinfeld and her "defense." I would write about it, but if I copy anything else from them then I really will be endorsed by Oprah.

Updated! Again!!: Anthony Kiedis and Heather Christie Have Baby Pepper Bear

Whit Honea — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 18:39:00 GMT

This is a post from October 2nd that has been updated with new baby information.

The Red Hot Chili Pepper's frontman, Anthony Kiedis and his model girlfriend Heather Christie welcomed a new addition to the band this morning. The baby boy is the first child for either of them.

UPDATED: Thanks to FameCrawler readers we have news that his name is Everly B. There appears to be some discussion as to whether B is the actual name or if it stands for Bear. Either way, cute name.

Boy names can be cute, right?

NEW UPDATE 10/14!!!
GET THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME! PRETTY COOL AND OF COURSE, RED HOT!!

PICTURE FINALLY AVAILABLE!!! NEW PHOTO POST IS HERE!

UPDATED: Here's the Ticket- Disney's Hannah Montana Star Miley Cyrus Talks Pregnancy

Whit Honea — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 19:42:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus addressed the rumor of her pregnancy at the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Party. She told Extra, “It’s given me the street cred to say that would be impossible, because I’m living my life the way I believe is right and that is to stay pure.”

When asked if she believed in sex before marriage she said, “No, I don’t at all!”

Guess who has two thumbs and is happy as hell? This guy.

Anyone know where I can get a Hannah Montana ticket? Although I'd rather have the $5000!

UPDATED FOR OUR YOUNGER READERS: Hey Gang, I've noticed in some of your comments that there are a few of you that are misunderstanding Miley's situation. She was never pregnant. It was a huge hoax by some internet magazine that a lot of the media actually fell for. Miley's comments above are regarding that rumor. Her statement is that she would never become pregnant and would never have sex before marriage. She's saying good stuff. Miley hasn't let anyone down, in fact, she's shown what a strong and positive role model she is. - Whit
