Jon & Kate Plus 8 will be Kate Plus 8 from now on.  Jon Gosselin was eliminated from the picture by TLC.  According to Eileen O’Neill, TLC’s President and GM, the “recent changes in the family dynamic” call for the show to be recalibrated and refreshed to “keep pace with the family”.
After watching several episodes of the show, pre-split, and seeing how Kate treated Jon, I was certainly more in Jon’s corner than Kate’s.  That is, until Jon’s pre-midlife meltdown.  I’ve seen kids who grew up in extradordinarily strict homes go off the deep end once they were able to get out from under.  That’s what Jon’s behaviors resemble.  His actions are so opposed to the quiet, humble and, yes, henpecked man we saw on the series you might wonder if he has an “evil” twin.
But the surprises keep coming, because after the announcement that he wouldn’t be on the show after November, Jon made a statement saying,  “I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated.  I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon”.  Poor judgment?  How about lack of consideration for anyone but yourself?  It is alleged that he has filed papers to  delay the divorce for 90 days.  What’s with that?  Hard to know.  Or not.
O’Neill has also confirmed that the network is “in development for a Kate project for 2010” which, by the way, is not connected to the talk show that Kate is supposedly planning to do.  Waaaay too much Kate.  I don’t see her as a good interviewer, so, after the first couple of airings where she will certainly talk about life with and without Jon there will not be much more of interest. And between her speaking engagements, book promotions, TLC’s “Kate project” and a talk show how much time will she have to be a mom to eight little kids.  I think the Gosselin’s would most likely have accumulated enough bucks for both of them to step away from the limelight for a while and just concentrate on their children.  When the kids are grown Jon and Kate can do whatever the hell they want.

Diane Keaton. Buster Keaton. Are they related?

I think Diane Keaton is great.  I love all of her movies.  But with few exceptions, her wardrobe choices for premieres and red carpet appearance are very…hmmm…different.  She seems such a classy and elegant lady you would think she would dress the part.
But then, I remember that Woody Allen evidently wrote the part of “Annie Hall”  based on an “idealized” version of Keaton and somehow it all makes perfect sense.

Katherine Heigl and her mother Nancy founded the Jason Debus Heigl Foundaton in memory of Jason Heigl, Nancy’s son and Katherine’s brother who was killed in a car accident in 1986 when he was fifteen years old. The website states that:  “ Jason loved all animals, especially dogs, cats, and monkeys, and lived his short life extending compassion and kindness to all creatures”.
 The foundation’s goal is to “ raise awareness of inhumane treatment of animals, support non-profit rescue efforts, assist homeless shelter animals with rescue and medical treatment, fund and encourage free spay/neuter clinics, place rescue dogs and cats in loving homes, and educate the public about the horrors of puppy mills and dog fighting”.  To donate to this worthy cause go to: www.jasonheiglfoundation.com.
Heigl supports many charities including:  AIDS Healthcare Foundation, GLAAD, Donate Life America and Operation of Hope.
Thank you Katherine Heigl for your care and concern for others!

It has taken a few months, but Katherine Heigl and her musiician husband Josh Kelley are now able to hold the darling 10 month old Korean baby girl they adopted.  They have named her Nancy Leigh after Heigl’s mother, Nancy and her sister, Margaret Leigh.  The little girl has been nicknamed Naleigh. 
Naleigh is a special needs child which, according to Heigl, made the adoption process move much faster.  Heigl said:  “They wanted to get her to us as quickly as possible”.
Adoption is not a new idea for Heigl.  She has always been set on adopting a child and even asked Kelley is he was ok with the idea before they became engaged.  She said:  “I just wanted to make sure that I was marrying a guy who understood that this was going to have to happen.”
Heigl’s sister, Meg, is also Korean and was adopted by Heigl’s parents before Heigl was born.

The Outsiders

Dirty Dancing

Ghost

To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar

After battling pancreatic cancer for more than a year and a half Patrick Swayze died peacefully, surrounded by family. 
Swayze started his career as a Broadway dancer.  His first major film role was in The Outsiders in 1983 and he appeared in almost 50 films and television series episodes in a successful career that spanned 30 years.
Some more of his many memorable films were  Dirty Dancing, Ghost, and To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar.  Handsome, physically graceful, able to play tough guy, sexy leading man, heartbreaking apparition, or drag queen, Swayze was a versatile and talented actor.  He brought decency and dignity to everything he did.
Even after being diagnosed with cancer, Swayze continued acting.  He completed an entire season of a new televisions series, The Beast, which aired on A&E in January, 2009.  The series was cancelled after the first season due to Swayze’s failing health. 
To quote a line that Sam said to Molly in Ghost:  “It’s amazing Molly.  The love inside, you take it with you.  See ya”.
You made us laugh and cry, made our hearts throb and broke our hearts.  You will be missed, Patrick Swayze.

Everyone knows 36 year old actor Paul Walker as “Brian O’Conner” in the fantastically famous film series Fast & Furious, but did you know that Walker began his career at the age of two when he starred in a television commercial for Pampers?
Walker’s first film appearance was a small part in the 1987 movie Monster in the Closet.  His first feature film was a co-starring role in the 1998 Disney movie Meet the Deedles. But it was in 2001 that he got the big break when he starred, with Vin Diesel in the first of the Fast & Furious films, and it’s been the good life ever since.
His success seems to be something he enjoys but he was quoted in Flaunt Magazine as saying, “You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy.  Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae”. 
Hot, hot, hot and a seemingly loving, caring guy.  Couldn’t ask for more than that!

From the top of her head to the tip of her toes Jennifer Connelly is a mess.  Her hair looks straggly, greasy and badly in need of styling.  If it weren’t for the semi-transparent section where her boobs are she wouldn’t have attracted any attention, at all.  Her legs are unattractive and her bony knees make them look even worse.  But, her black nail polish on her stubby nails does match the black shoes that look too big. 
Just because the rich and famous have lots of money doesn’t necessarily mean they have lots of sense.

Evidently,  Jermaine Jackson planned a tribute to Michael Jackson in Vienna, Austria on September 26, without consulting the rest of the family or including them in any of the planning.   He said that both Mary J. Blige and Chris Brown would be two of the headliners to perform in the show but reps for both Blige and Brown have said neither will be taking part.  Others supposedly on the list are Natalie Cole, Akron and Sister Sledge.  Who knows who will and won’t be there.  In fact, if the rest of the family have their way there won’t be an event in Austria in September. 
The family, with matriarch Katherine in the lead, are against it because, in part, it doesn’t make sense for the first tribute to be held in a country that Michael Jackson had no real connection to.  However, Katherine eventually caved because of pressure from Jermaine and announced, in a written statement on August 21, that she is solidly behind the idea.  The rest of the family is still adamantly against it.  One Jackson family member says that it is a case of Jermaine disregarding what the rest of the family wants and doing what is best for himself.  The same person belittled the Vienna tribute calling it “The Jermaine Jackson show”.
