She has a bandage on her hand, my cousin Steve Pate has no marks

The Daily Mail is reporting Nicollette Sheridan got thrown from her horse. Again?

“Nicolette’s boyfriend Steve, a wealthy financier. looked equally dashing in a black suit with an open neck white shirt.”

“The trendy steak house appears to be a favourite of the couple – just two weeks ago the pair were also seen arriving for a spot of dinner.” (Daily Mail)

She’s been heavy dating my cousin Steve Pate for ages now that the horse accident story seems… well … a little old.

It’s a better excuse than Tiger Woods came up with for his SUV accident.

My aunt from Texas assured everyone on the family mailing list that Steve has no scars or bruises on his face.

Maybe Nicollette did hurt her hand falling off the horse.

Edie Britt on Desperate Housewives, Nicolle’s old role, was a man-eater not a man-beater.

We all breathed a sigh of relief that Steve wasn’t taking it on the chin, if you know what I mean.

Those movie stars can be high strung fillies and Steve’s just a good old boy from Texas.

Steve is used to gorgeous women in Texas, but he also knows you can’t tell a Texas woman nothin’.

Steve CANNOT get Nicollette to wear a riding helmet. That might have saved her head but not her little finger, which is the item of faîte du bandage as they French say. Continue reading →

Best moment of show was Twitter “Try the Curry” at Churchill Arms

Sunset at Regis' Clambake on PEI

As PEI watched, two New York celebrities poured on the charm. Regis was unrepentant in his disdain for oysters but liked lobsters and clams. Kelly was charming and teasing.

The best line of the show was about Kelly’s dinner at Churchill Arms in Charlottetown. She and her family were watching the soccer match and enjoying the fish and chips (good choice).

Kelly likes to Tweet so she tweeted her location. Fans tweeted back “Try the curry.”

Of course try the curry at Churchill. She sampled five different kinds and loved them so told the audience.

Fess Parker Davy Crockett Dies

One of TVs early heroes passes away at 85

Fess Parker as Davy Crockett

Who didn’t wear a coonskin cap and talk like Davy Crockett? Everyone remembers the genial remake of history by Walt Disney in the 1950′s. As a Tennessean Paul Bunyan, Davy Crockett killed a “bar”, chased Indians and showed bravery at the Alamo, the American Waterloo.

Disney was a master at creating the American myth and then capitalizing on it. The merchandising of Davy Crockett hats, coats, guns and other memorabilia became a marketing legend. Kids begged, including this one, their parents to but them Davy Crockett gear. My mother was a pacifist so I had to get my own coonskin cap and gun. I hide it from her.

Buddy Ebsen (Wizard of Oz, Beverly Hillbillies and Barnaby Jones) was Davy Crockett’s sidekick in the TV series. Fess Parker went on to play the role of Abraham Lincoln.

Serena Williams marrying Rapper Common

He’s 38 she’s 28 and Jehovah’s Witness – might want to think things over

Serena Williams

Word is out, all over town, Serena and Rapper Common might be getting hitched.

“Rapper Lonnie Rashid Lynn, better known as Common, has fueled rumors that he will marry Serena Williams by going public with his love for the tennis champion.”

“Serena is a beautiful, fun and a strong woman. I love her heart and her strength. She’s a warmhearted human being. I think she’s incredible,” quoted Common, 38, as saying.  (IANS London)

Look out – marrying a Jehovah’s Witness when you aren’t one of them is a case of the bad news bears. JWs, as they are known, have strict rules about marrying people “in the Truth” which is code for one of us.

Just like RC in the old days, the non-believer has to promise to bring up children “in the truth”, study the Watchtower diligently and pray for Armageddon to come soon destroying all mankind other than the strong “brothers and sisters in the truth”.

Rappers are generally the antithesis of what JWs preach will survive the coming cataclysm.

Rapper Common may be a betting man and figure the end isn’t coming soon. Just say the words man even if you don’t mean it.

Andy Warhol figured everyone was now going to get their fifteen minutes of fame. We are living at a time of obsession with celebrity

By Robert Glenn, Painters Keys

Andy Warhol figured everyone was now going to get their fifteen minutes of fame. Courting celebrities and his own celebrity, he needed more time at it than that.

J.D. Salinger wrote a novel and a few short stories he didn’t want to talk about. Thus he became famous for not wanting to be famous.

We are living at a time of obsession with celebrity. People substitute celebrities for friends and acquaintances. TV heads are good enough. Question is, I know David Letterman but does he know me?

Stars Who Twitter Get Gold

Kim Kardashian, Stephen Colbert get paid $10,000 per product Tweet sweet eh?

Kim Kardashian in between the Tweets

Think the stars have your best interests at heart. No they have their bank accounts when then Tweet you saying “these chips are great.”

“PRNewser reported last month that Kardashian receives up to $10,000 per tweet about specific products.”

“In a post from Jan. 12, Kardashian says, “Have u guys ever tried Popchips? They are kind of amazing!” This may or may not be an ad; it’s sometimes difficult to tell.”

“This blending of tweets and advertisements is no doubt intentional, but this isn’t a good thing to all followers. In an article from The Daily Beast, Expert Labs’ director of public technology Anil Dash said, “There’s a very high risk of antagonizing your followers, and it’s very, very easy to unfollow.” Naturally, advertisers pay more for larger followings. ” Paste

I don’t think anyone really believes stars and if they do, go for it.

Charlie Sheen threatens wife with knife

What’s with the violence, does he think his life is a movie?

Charlie Seen mug shot from arrest on domestic violence charges

Charlie Sheen was arrested over the holidays by Aspen Police for allegedly attacking his wife with a knife and threatening her life. She claims he held her on the bed with a knife at her throat and said “If you tell anybody, I’ll kill you.”

Brooke Mueller, Sheen’s wife, said he attacked her after she said she would divorce him and take the children. Sheen and Mueller have twin boys born March 2009.

Sheen went on to threaten Mueller that he had “friends” who could finish her off. “I have ex-police I can hire who know how to get the job done, and they won’t leave any trace.”

With Sheen’s past record of violence, one has to wonder at why Mueller agreed to marry Sheen in the first place. Sheen shot his girlfriend Kelly Preston in the arm in 1990. The first marriage to Donna Peele ended in divorce after one year in 1996. He has been arrested numerous times for drug and cocaine possession and overdosed in 1998. His second marriage to Denise Richards produced two children and a 2006 divorce with charges of violence and abuse fueled by drugs and alcohol.

TMZ photo of JFK circa mid-50s in the Mediterranean

TMZ is breaking a story about a long forgotten photo of John F. Kennedy.

Then Senator John F. Kennedy was previously reported to have vacationed on a yacht in the Mediterranean with his brother Senator Ted Kennedy and Senator George Smathers. The photo, which experts for TMZ say is authentic, shows several nude women sun bathing and diving off the boat.

Of course, in the prudish environment of US politics where politicians only have sex with their wives discretely even then, the photograph might have scuttled Kennedy’s shot at the Presidency and altered history forever.
