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.

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.

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”.

Hugh Laurie, award winning actor on the tremendously popular, award winning television series, House, M. D. is a regular on the BBC Comic Relief charity specials. The US Comic Relief raises funds to aid the homeless and people in need and the UK Comic Relief is committed to helping end poverty and social injustice throughout the world.
A talented musician, proficient on a number of instruments, Laurie co-founded the Band From TV.  The band raises money for many charities including Pediatric Epilepsy Project, Save the Children and The Art of Elysium.  The Art of Elysium is a charity that encourages working actors, artists, and musicians to volunteer their time and talent in an effort to raise money to help children battling serious medical conditions.
Laurie has, at times, suffered from severe clinical depression and receives regular treatment for the disorder.  Because of his own experience with depression much of his charitable involvement is in areas of mental illness.  He and his fellow House cast members are selling t-shirts with one of “Greg House’s” favorite truisms:  “Everybody Lies”.  The profits from the sale of the t-shirts are going to mental health charities, with the National Alliance on Mental Illness as a primary beneficiary.
All of the charities mentioned in this article have websites.  If you are interested in helping in any of these causes check out the website.

The funeral of Michael Jackson has, at last, taken place.  It was supposed to start at sunset (approximately 7:00 pm) but Jackson’s coffin didn’t arrive until 7:39 and the Jackson family arrived more than an hour late, leaving the guests waiting for an hour and a half in the hot, humid night.
The Jackson family hired their own company to video tape, and televise, some of the pre-show happenings such as glimpses of the famous guests, the 20 car Jackson family procession arriving and, just as the hearse bearing Jackson’s coffin arrived, the video came to an abrupt end.  What do you want to bet that the taping continued through the entire service and will be available for purchase on DVD or Blu-ray.
Randy Jackson was angry because there were news helicopters that continued to film the burial service.  He said he was dismayed when he saw television coverage of the ceremony and asked that the media pull all footage from the helicopter filming and “refrain from airing it in the future”.
I hate to be a cynic (although I readily acknowledge that I am) but could Randy Jackson’s anger come from the fact that the media scooped the Jackson video?  And, if they wanted this to be so private why not just invite those who were truly close friends and quietly gather, unannounced,  to carry out the final burial instead of making a huge, boisterous, hullabaloo out of it.  They announced, loud and clear, the date, the time, the place, had a police escort for the family funeral procession from the family “compound” in Encino to Forest Lawn.  Did they think no one would notice?
And speaking of the police a spokesman for the Glendale Police department said it appeared that the cost to the family would be around $120 to $125 thousand dollars but because the event started late it ran longer so the cost could be approximately $150,000.
Michael Jackson is in his final resting place in Forest Lawn, the actual location of which is being kept “secret”, (wink, wink) but I am absolutely positive this will not be the final chapter in this on-going saga.

SCOTT DISICK NOT SMILING 

Is it just me or does anyone else think Scott Disick is very, very creepy?  I couldn’t find any pictures of him smiling and looking happy and believe me I searched.  No smile and a very blank look in his eyes.  Is he bored or trying to think of ways to get out from under the whole Kourtney and daddy thing or is he just vacant?
On the other hand, Kourtney is always grinning like the Cheshire Cat.  Must be because she and the cheating loser she broke up with are back together and are going to have a baby.  Yikes!!
I really wonder if Disick see a reflection when he looks in the mirror.
