The celebrity news you may have missed!

10. Naomi Campbell Arrested

Agreed, this is about as newsworthy as George Michael being arrested again, but I thought I'd mention it. She's a beautiful woman and seems to have it all, especially anger issues! This time, she was arrested for assaulting her drug counselor. Currently, there are three other employees seeking legal action for her assaulted them as well.

9. Mariah Carey's Concert Cancelled

Just when it seemed like her comeback was complete, Mariah hits a road bump. Her Hong Kong concert was cancelled, reportedly due to her unreasonable demands. But the official reason is that tickets were just not selling.

8. Michael J. Fox vs. Rush Limbaugh

I will admit I am a Republican and sometimes I think Rush is right, but this is just stupid. To attack someone as beloved as Michael J. Fox and accuse him of using his disease to get votes. I've heard Rush later apologized, but this was just going too far in my opinion. Read the whole story in Michele's blog.

7. Jimmy Stewart and Ella Fitzgerald Get Stamps

Yes, you will be able to mail a letter with the image of Jimmy Stewart or Ella Fitzgerald on it soon. It is nice to see the U.S.P.S. honor two legendary performers.

6. Jane Wyatt Dies

Jane Wyatt, best known as the mom on "Father Knows Best" died this week at the age of 96. You know, I guess I will just never get used to the people I grew up watching on television - Dean Martin, Milton Berle, Danny Thomas, Don Knotts and many more - dying. It just seems like they should live forever.

5. Terry Jones Fights Cancer

Okay, before you say "Terry who?" let me tell you that Terry is one of the stars of the British comedy group Monty Python. Terry, 64, underwent an operation and the doctors say the colon cancer was caught very early, so here's to his recovery!

4. Dolly Returns to the Road

For the first time in 30 years, singer Dolly Parton is going to thrill European crowds with a tour. I just love Dolly! She is so sweet and funny and vibrant.

3. Keith Urban Checks into Rehab

After rumors swirled that he was in trouble again, Keith has checked himself into a Nashville drug and alcohol rehab. Hopefully he can win the battle with his demons this time.

2. Britney Names Baby

Britney and Kevin have officially registered a birth certificate with Los Angeles county. Their new baby's name? Jayden James, not the Sutton Piece that the media reported. Isn't there a time limit for filing a birth certificate? Why the delay? Have they been calling him "hey you" since September 12th?

1. Nicole Richie Checks Into a Rehab Facility

The news of this just hit today, but I am hoping it will help her. I am no expert by any stretch and my problem has already been eating too much rather than too little. But when I read that Nicole didn't keep up with her weight, she thought she looked fine, and would like to gain a "few" pounds, I sensed there was a problem.

The best thing I heard Michael J. Fox say was when he was talking to Katie Couric about his adds -- Disease is a nonpartisan problem that requires a bipartisan solution. He's absolutely right.

Libby Pelham (12876) 27 Oct 2006 01:48 PM

I just love Michael J. Fox - always have and always will. I hadn't heard he said that Heather - thanks for letting me know!
