Paul Newman Dies at 83

Screen legend and philanthropist Paul Newman has died of cancer in Connecticut at the age of eighty-three. Those who knew him, talk not only about his acting ability but also about how important he was as a person.

Newman spent millions of dollars building camps for sick children, and he also created the Newman's Own food line, which donates all of its profits to charity. It has raised millions of dollars already, and undoubtedly will continue to raise millions more.

Newmans career spanned more than 50 years, and he will be missed by the acting community and the public at large for a long time to come. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Newman had humble upbringings and even had some trouble in his early life. His rebound to become such a huge star and give back so much to others was a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.

Barker And DJ AM Expected To Make Full Recovery

Blink-182's ex-drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) were both seriously injured when they were burned in a plane crash. It's believed that the Learjet blew a tire on takeoff, which caused the jet to go out of control and crash. The jet then caught fire. As scary as that sounds, the good news is that a full recovery is expected for both men, although they might both spend several weeks in the hospital. The other four people on the plane did not survive the accident.

The voice recorder indicated that the pilot and co-pilot reacted to a noise that was consistent with a tire blowout. They attempted to abort the takeoff, but were not able to causing the Learjet to skid off the runway.

According to reports from various news industries, DJ AM is burned over 50% of his body and the burns are most severe on his face. Barker was burned mostly on the lower half of his body. The two men have a long road ahead of them, but they will both recover and survive.

Lego Hates Celebrities

Lego is celebrating their 30th anniversary of Lego Minifigures by making horrible likenesses of popular celebrities.  These figures are so hideous, I can only assume that Lego must hate celebrities.  Decide for yourself.

Lego is not releasing the figures to the public, so enjoy looking at these monstrosities while you can.

Lindsey Lohan is Talking About WHAT?

Lindsey Lohan seems to be reverting back to her good old ways, when her political and moral opinions were all over the internet. In past years, Lohan was very vocal with her views about how this country should be educating our children, among other insights. A long time has passed and after a couple of times in and out of rehab, we are again seeing lots of splashy news on the internet about what Miss Lohan is doing, now. And, in addition to being privy to who she was last seen with, what she was doing and where, she is once again expressing her views openly, for anyone interested.

This time her views are coming directly from her blog, bypassing the main stream media's habit of skewing her words. Now that it's in writing, they will have to quote her opinions correctly. Her very celebrity, and actually concise, opinion is being aimed at John McCain’s choice for the Vice Presidential Running Mate, Governor Palin. Lindsey states, in her blog, an opinion that seems to be reverberating with many women in the US.

Lohan is concerned that the fate of our nation may lie in the hands of a woman that may very well send women’s rights back in time. With Palin’s views on reproductive choice, sex education (abstinence only, which really worked for her daughter), and the fact that she promotes programs such as, her church’s conference that promised to convert gays into heterosexuals, through prayer. The 22 year old Lohan is an Obama supporter and is ardent in her quest to make many women take a hard and close look, at the differences between an McCain/Palin vs an Obama/Biden presidency, especially where woman’s freedoms concerned.

It’s a Boy for Pete and Ashlee!

It has just been revealed that Ashlee Simpson and husband Pete Wentz are expecting a baby boy. Pete Wentz, member of the rock group Fall Out Boy, says the couple is pretty sure about the gender of their first unborn child. Wentz reports that he and Ashlee know with 90% accuracy that they will be raising a son, with a due date around Thanksgiving of this year.

While both celebs are excited, the bass player says they have yet to pick out a name for the new arrival. However, he did promise that it will indeed be something “rock star worthy.” Wentz reported to Playboy magazine that a friend said the newborn must have a name fitted for a rock star or at least a senator.

A spokesperson for the celebrity couple was forced to deny the rumor that they were expecting twins. Apparently this news came from hip-hop artist Tigga, a close friend of Pete’s who broke the word that Wentz and Simpson were happy to be having twins.

Just married earlier in the year, both Ashlee and Pete insist that they are looking to have a happy Thanksgiving with only one child.
