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 →

Movie icon Elizabeth Taylor died today at the age of 79. The actress had been in Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles for six weeks due to congestive heart failure. Where do you start a blog about a superstar like Elizabeth Taylor?

One thing is for sure – Elizabeth Taylor lived life to the fullest. Even though she went through some scandalous times, Taylor died … Continue reading →

Eddie Fisher Dies at 82

Singer Eddie Fisher died Wednesday night at his Berkley home following complications from hip surgery. He was 82 years old. Eddie came to prominence in the early ‘50s. Hits such as “Thinking of You” and “Any Time” made him a pop superstar. His 32 hits sold millions of records and in 1955, he married girl-next-door actress Debbie Reynolds. Known as “America’s Favorite Couple,” they appeared together in 1956’s Bundle of Joy. Although the couple had two children, Carrie (who later gained fame as Princess Leia from Star Wars) and Todd, all was not well. The Fishers were very close to … Continue reading →

If you have seen a picture of Dennis Hopper lately, you knew his death was inevitable and today, the inevitable took one of Hollywood’s perennial bad boys. Dennis Hopper died of prostate cancer at the age of 74. Hopper’s last public appearance was when he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 26 of this year. Hopper saw something most of today’s actors can only hope for – a career that spanned almost six decades. He did television and he did the big screen. He was in westerns, action films, and indies. He played villains, lost … Continue reading →

Star Updates: Lisa Marie Has Twin Girls and Helio Gets the Green Light to Race

After an eventful pregnancy spent battling the tabloids, Lisa Marie Presley finally welcomed twin girls into the world on Tuesday, October 7th. According to reports, mom and her newborn daughters are at home resting comfortably. Presley’s rep says the baby girls were delivered by C-section Tuesday afternoon and weighed in at 5 lbs., 15 oz. and 5 lbs., 2 oz. respectively. The singer reluctantly announced her pregnancy shortly after a London newspaper published unflattering photographs of her eating at a restaurant with her mom Priscilla Presley and commented about her “mega-appetite.” Presley sued for libel, and the paper later apologized. … Continue reading →

Star Updates: Twins and Tragedy

Somehow I don’t see a bidding war brewing for the first shots of Lisa Marie Presley’s twins. Yes, the King of Rock and Roll’s daughter finally revealed that she is carrying twins, but no, you shouldn’t count on seeing the bouncing bundles of joy in a 19-page magazine spread a la Brangelina’s double blessing. Lisa Marie’s mother Priscilla Presley was the one who spilled the beans to TV’s “Entertainment Tonight” saying that her daughter wanted to keep the news private as long as possible. And who can blame her considering the drama she endured during her first trimester. Months ago … Continue reading →

“Close,” according to news reporters. “Far from it,” according to the Oscar-winning actress’ rep. Who to believe? Elizabeth Taylor is probably somewhere in the middle if you sort through the myriad of reports that came out earlier today regarding the 76-year-old move star’s health. The actress was reportedly hospitalized for an undisclosed reason today but was expected to return home soon. “Ms. Taylor is fine,” her publicist announced late today. “Her hospital visit was precautionary. She will be returning home shortly. At present, she is surrounded by family, friends and fabulous jewels.” In the meantime, several news outlets have been … Continue reading →

Catching Up with Nicolas Cage

The other night, I was trying to decide what to watch on late night television. I do not normally watch David Letterman or Jay Leno unless there is just someone I love appearing as a guest. Fortunately, for me, Nicolas Cage was on “Late Night with David Letterman” earlier this week. I just had to watch, but it was a different interview. Cage’s new movie, Next, has him playing a character who can see two minutes into the future. Nicolas said that while he could not do that in real life, he was able to hold his breath for two … Continue reading →

Two Splits and an Unlikely Duo

I should have known it was coming. I had just read in Star Magazine how great a relationship Drew Barrymore had with the Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti. After all, Barrymore and Moretti had been together almost five years, which seemed like fifty in Barrymore years. Barrymore had not been known for long-term relationships, having been married first husband Jeremy Thomas for only six months and second husband Tom Green for a year. Then I went to the Movie and Television News section of the Internet Movie Database today and there is it – “Barrymore Splits with Strokes Drummer.” There is … Continue reading →
