Movie Misquotes – Part 2

Posted on by

I threw out a few movie misquotes in one of my last blogs, so here are a few more. Are you guilty of any misquoting? “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore, Toto.” Yes, it is true that as Dorothy, Judy Garland never uttered these words in The Wizard of Oz. What she actually said was “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas any more.” “I want to suck your blood.” While many of us associate the quote “I want to suck your blood” with Dracula, Bela Lugosi never said that in the 1931 version of Dracula. However, Tim … Continue reading →

This Week in History – 1959

Posted on by

I am going all the way back to 1959 this time. It’s okay, I don’t personally remember it either. But, it is still fun to see how much our society and culture has changed since then! In sports news, Yankee manager Casey Stengel was worried about a batting slump. As a team, they were only batting .190 – that includes baseball legend Mickey Mantle! The Dodgers held a benefit game against the Yankees for Roy Campanella, whose career ended after an automobile crash left him paralyzed from the waist down. In celebrity news, Eddie Fisher became Elizabeth Taylor’s fourth husband … Continue reading →

How You Can Watch Gary Coleman’s Divorce Unfold on National TV

When 40-year-old actor Gary Coleman married his 22-year-old wife, Shannon Price last August no one questioned if the union would last, but rather when it would end. Well, we got the answer. If you guessed eight months then consider yourself the winner in this losing partnership. According to Coleman, the honeymoon was over a long time ago, but he and his wife only got around to filing for divorce a few weeks ago. It’s probably because they were waiting for May sweeps. Yeah, you read right—-May TV sweeps. That all important time when networks vie for as many viewers as … Continue reading →

Heath Ledger’s Alleged Love Child

Apparently, Heath Ledger’s uncles have a problem letting their nephew rest in peace. Make that estranged uncles. News reports say they are the ones claiming that the late actor may have fathered a love child when he was a teenager.

Probe Continues Into Heath Ledger’s Death

We know Heath Ledger died (an all too early death), but federal agents say they still don’t know how the actor obtained the powerful painkillers Oxycontin and Vicodin that contributed to his passing. According to new reports released by federal drug agents, no bottles for those drugs were found in Ledger’s apartment. However, the report does say that bottles were located in various parts of the actor’s home for other prescriptions such as sleeping pills and anti-anxiety drugs, which medical examiners found in his system at the time of his death. Drug Enforcement Administration agents reveal that they recently interviewed … Continue reading →

She’s more than a foot taller and nearly 20 years younger than he is, but actor Gary Coleman is convinced his new wife is the person he will remain with for the rest of his life. For those of you who didn’t get a wedding invitation, the former “Different Strokes” star—-who is now 40—-recently wed 22-year-old aspiring actress Shannon Price in a “romantic” ceremony on a mountaintop. Coleman says he decided not to publicly announce his big news until just a few weeks ago so he and his new wife could get used to married life without cameras following them … Continue reading →

Heath Ledger’s Final Farewell

A sunset plunge, drinks, and live music… they sound like the recipe for a typical beach party, not a post-funeral get together. But, those saying their final farewell to Heath Ledger will tell you the actor wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. While the rest of the world spent the week focusing on the New York City Medical Examiner’s report that revealed the 28-year-old “Brokeback Mountain” star died of an accidental mixture of prescription drugs, Ledger’s family and friends took part in an emotional goodbye to the young father. The farewell consisted of three separate events beginning with a … Continue reading →

“American Idol” season five runner-up Katharine McPhee got her fairy tale wedding after all. At one point the singer-actress wondered if she would ever find true love and now she can stop worrying.

Courtney’s Friendly Advice and Brit May Be on the Move Soon

Well, you know you must have hit rock bottom when Courtney Love, often a train wreck herself, offers you advice. Courtney has come out publicly to urge Britney Spears to get the help she needs. Courtney said, “I know exactly what’s going on, having been there. If she doesn’t get help something very, very bad is gonna happen.” Courtney should know. She herself was committed to the hospital three years ago, being wheeled in from the ambulance on a gurney ala Britney. Courtney might have gone out on a limb when talking to “Access Hollywood,” saying that only she, Britney, … Continue reading →

Michelle Williams Copes with Loss

Somehow, some way, actress Michelle Williams has avoided the paparazzi since returning to New York following the death of her ex-fiancé Heath Ledger. By all accounts she did not fly to Los Angeles this past weekend for Ledger’s private memorial and word has it she will not be in Perth, Australia for the actor’s burial either. (Then again, how does anyone really know what her plans are?) The one thing that is certain about Williams’ future is that she still has a movie role waiting for her when she is ready to go back to work. According to production staff … Continue reading →
