Yes, I heard about Natasha Richardson’s death this morning. My buddy and I had been following some updates about her these two days hoping that she would make it through.
My buddy beeped me and told me the bad news just now.
Natasha’s sons, Michael, 13, and Daniel, 12, were both shocked and devastated by the loss.
Natasha Richardson exhibited the classic symptoms of a epidural hematoma, or bleeding between the brain and the skull after a fatal fall at Mont Tremblant in Quebec, north of Montreal.
While correcting my blog posts just now, I came across Hannah Montana‘s Best of Both Worlds tour video. This video reminded me of Miley Cyrus’ Vanity photos. Well, a 15-year-old girl going 16 …
I used to consider her a good role model for teens. I guess not anymore. She might be the next Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan or Amy Winehouse. I warned my sister not to pick celebrities as role models for her kids. Instead she should choose sportsmen or sportswomen like Tigerwoods, Andre Agassi, Michelle Wie or Nicole David.
Let the kids watch their games, learn how they swing the golf balls or tennis balls, and face defeats or victories positively.
For the third consecutive year, following on from Meg Ryan, Kiefer Sutherland, Kim Basinger and Gary Sinise, the Baume & Mercier image is to be represented by a pair of Hollywood luminaries: Teri Hatcher and Ashton Kutcher.
Teri Hatcher and Ashton Kutcher join the A-list of celebrities who have been contributing alongside Baume & Mercier over the past three years to supporting various worthy humanitarian causes.
The new campaign of Baume & Mercier luxury watches will serve to support the fight against cancer, the promotion of child education, as well as helping underprivileged women.
The choice of celebrities made by the brand to support the new campaign includes personalities that have something in common with the watchmaking house; authentic public figures displaying true human qualities who are both easily approachable and close to people.
Kim Basinger and Gary Sinise amply displayed the prerequisites of generosity and spontaneity for this charity campaign in the recent past and Teri Hatcher and Ashton Kutcher will take it forward in 2008.
Celebrities are hopping on the eco-friendly bandwagon when it comes to everything from shopping bags to million-dollar homes. Now, it’s cars and auto accessories.
From Leonardo DiCaprio, one of the pioneers of the push toward economically efficient autos, to a newly converted Paris Hilton, A-listers are quickly becoming conscious of the environment.
It’s not only Hollywood’s younger generation that’s getting involved, either. Many old-timers are embracing the new non-polluting technologies that are being developed.
George Clooney cruises around L.A. in his Tango 600, a two-seat electrically powered vehicle. He was the first to purchase one of its kind–an automobile six inches narrower than many motorcycles with a range of 80 miles.
Before Amy Winehouse was discovered wandering through London in a bra, before her new husband was jailed pending a hearing, and before she was admitted to rehab for the umpteenth time, her mother, Janis, knew the gifted young singer was in trouble.
Fame had done her daughter no good. Amy was too young and lacked the maturity to cope.
Hollywood has produced any number of Amy Winehouses over the years – child stars whose often-prodigious talents are inversely proportional to their ability to handle fame. Today, most are recognisable by first name only: witness the likes of Britney, Lindsay, Paris, Mischa, Mary-Kate and Ashley, to name just a handful.
Late this week, Amy Winehouse moved back into the East London flat she shares with her (still incarcerated) husband of nine months.
For at least an hour after she was photographed clutching her belongings, the headlines were decidedly positive: a move to the countryside was imminent, it was said, and she was determined to get her life back on track.
The happy news was decidedly shortlived. Less than a day later, “friends” were reportedly “urging her back into one of the drug rehabs” after becoming concerned she was “back on drugs”. So the sorry saga just continues.
