Demi Moore and Daughters at War?

Poor Demi Moore has certainly seen her share of tough times lately. She went through the distressing split with ex-hubby Ashton Kutcher, then had the incident in January where she was hospitalized for reportedly having a seizure due to using “whip-its.” But, she’s been laying pretty low since getting out of rehab in March. Or is she? While she may be off the gossipmonger charts, things don’t seem quite right. At least that’s what I thought when I read that Moore attended youngest daughter Tallulah’s graduation, but left before Tallulah actually received her diploma. Now reports are that none of … Continue reading →

Demi Moore Out of Control?

It’s been a rough few months for Demi Moore after splitting from hubby of six years, Ashton Kutcher. Moore, 49, hosted a party at her home last Monday, but was rushed to Sherman Oaks Hospital after reportedly suffering a seizure. The 911 call released by the Los Angeles Fire Department showed how out of control things may be. A friend called 911, asking for an ambulance, saying there was an emergency. The caller stated Moore “smoked something” – “not marijuana but it’s something similar to incense.” The caller went on to say Moore was having convulsions and was “semi-conscious.” When … Continue reading →

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher to Divorce

Cougars all over the world are stunned – their shining example of what cougarhood can be has come to an end. After rumors swirled that Ashton Kutcher had cheated on wife Demi Moore, the two announced their divorce this week. The pair has almost always turned heads since they began dating in 2003, when Moore was 41-years-old and Kutcher was barely out of diapers. Okay, he was actually 25-years-old. But, Moore’s oldest daughter, Rumer is just 10 years younger than Kutcher. While not many batted an eyelash when Anthony Quinn married a women 48 years younger than him or Sammy … Continue reading →

Patrick Swayze Dies at 57

This is the blog I had dreaded doing. I knew it was coming, but I also knew that the day it happened, I would be really sad. When someone lives a long life, you can always say, well, they lived a long life. In cases like DJ AM, you wonder if survivor guilt drove him back to his addiction. With someone like Michael Jackson, we knew for years he didn’t look healthy. And, although we have known for a year that Patrick Swayze was battling a fight he probably wouldn’t win, I think it hurts so much because he did … Continue reading →

Actors that Turned Down Iconic Roles – Part Three

Okay, I promise I will stop after this one! I just find it fascinating to think of certain actors in certain roles: John Cusack as John Bender in The Breakfast Club? No doubt that Judd Nelson was perfect in this role, but how would John Cusack have faired? It certainly didn’t hurt his career to miss this role. Judd Nelson on the other hand… Bruce Willis as Sam Wheat in Ghost? Yep, apparently this one was given to Bruce Willis to read first, but he thought playing a ghost would be bad for his career. Wait, didn’t he play a … Continue reading →

Morgan Freeman in Serious Condition after Car Wreck

My best friend always forwards me interesting “breaking news” emails from Memphis. He just forwarded me one that said actor Morgan Freeman has been involved in a serious car wreck in north Mississippi. According to reports, Freeman and a female passenger were driving eastbound on Mississippi Highway in Tallahatchie County when his 1997 Nissan Maxima went off the road. Apparently, Freeman overcorrected to bring the car back on the road and flipped the Maxima several times. The emergency crews who showed up at the accident site had to use the jaws of life to retrieve Freeman and his passenger. Mississippi … Continue reading →

Classic TV: In Search Of

Posted on by

The other day, I mentioned how storm chasers were covered on the show “In Search Of” and how much I loved that show. It’s original run was from 1976 to 1982 and it was hosted by none other than Mr. Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy. As the show opened, Leonard gave us a taste of what was to come with the opening “Lost civilizations, extraterrestrials, myths and monsters, missing persons, magic and witchcraft, unexplained phenomena. “In Search Of…” cameras are traveling the world, seeking out these great mysteries. This program was the result of the work of scientists, researchers and a … Continue reading →

A Holocaust Hero Passes Away

Posted on by

The other day, I was blogging about the movie The Pianist and how at the end, a Nazi officer actually helped Jewish pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman right before the war ends. There were many Holocaust heroes during that time – people who risked their own lives to save others. One of them, Irena Sendler, has just passed away recently at the age of 98. Irena was a Polish social worker during World War II. Irena began offering Jewish families food and shelter in 1939. Soon, her job as a social worker would allow her to help more Jews. Saying she was … Continue reading →
