Gary Coleman In Critical Condition, On Life Support – UPDATED: Gary Coleman Passes Away

May 28, 2010 By 2 Comments

Gary Coleman’s family is asking fans to pray for the former child star of “Diff’rent Strokes,” who is in critical condition at a Utah hospital suffering from what they call a “serious medical problem.” Coleman injured his head in a fall, slipped into a coma, and is now on life support, according to his publicist.

Per ABC News:

“He was immediately taken to a local hospital for treatment,” John Alcantar said in an e-mail to ABC News today. “As of mid-morning on May 27, Mr. Coleman was conscious and lucid. By early afternoon, Mr. Coleman was slipping in and out of consciousness and his condition worsened. We are saddened to announce that since mid-afternoon, Mountain Time, on May 27, 2010, Mr. Coleman has been unconscious and on life support. At this critical moment, we can only ask for your thoughts and prayers for Gary to make a speedy and full recovery.”

ABC News says he suffered intracranial hemorrhage – bleeding in the skull. Coleman has had a history of health problems. He has been battling kidney disease since his childhood, and also had heart surgery last fall. Coleman was also hospitalized earlier this year after having having a seizure on the set of “The Insider.”

So sad to hear. You gave us many smiles, many laughs. Wishing you the best, Gary! Our thoughts and prayers here at Hollywood Dame are with you.

UPDATE: Gary Coleman has died as the result of injuries he suffered earlier this week. Gary’s wife, Shannon, made the decision to pull life support earlier this morning. Family members and close friends were at Coleman’s side when life support was pulled. He was 42.

A rep for Coleman released this statement: “Thanks to everyone for their well wishing and support during this tragic time. Now that Gary has passed, we know he will be missed because of all the love and support shown in the past couple of days. Gary is now at peace and his memory will be kept in the hearts of those who were entertained by him throughout the years.”

Our thoughts and prayers are with Gary’s family and friends at this time.

Kristen Stewart Feels Raped – UPDATE

May 28, 2010 By 6 Comments

Oh my, she really needs to take a course in thinking before you speak. Kristen Stewart hates being photographed by paparazzi so much that she has compared the experience to being raped, feeling suffocated having cameras clicking away wherever she goes.

Per NDTV Movies:

“It’s so… The photos are so.. I feel like I’m looking at someone being raped. A lot of the time I can’t handle it. I never expected that this would be my life,” said Stewart.

She has no clue how insulting this is to women who really have been raped. This is not the first time she has complained about having her photograph taken, previously she has named it as the reason she often looks unhappy on red carpets. She’s said that feels even celebs have the right to have privacy and lead a normal life. If you don’t like the spotlight then quit. You can’t choose when to sell yourself or not. You can’t say you didn’t know this was coming when you chose to embark on your acting career.

UPDATE- It appears she is backpedaling and either she or her rep realized how ignorant her rape comparison was. Camp Stewart apoligzed:

“I really made an enormous mistake – clearly and obviously. And I’m really sorry about my choice of words. I’ve made stupid remarks before, and I’ve always reasoned: ‘Whatever. They can think what they want.’ But ‘violated’ definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought. People thinking that I’m insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake.”

New Music Friday – Civil Twilight

May 28, 2010 By 2 Comments

Originally hailing from Cape Town, Africa, “Civil Twilight” is a power trio that draws parallels to Muse, Pilot Speed, and other like-minded bands with impassioned vocals and stirring, alt-rock songcraft. Brothers Andrew and Steven McKeller were raised in a musical household, having explored their father’s jazz collection at a young age while listening to their classically trained mother play piano. In November 1996, Andrew launched a teenaged band with help from his high school classmate, guitarist Richard Wouters. The two scheduled an inaugural rehearsal for the following month; in the interim, Andrew discovered that his younger brother, Steven, could sing and write songs. The three musicians subsequently banded together, with Steven agreeing to master the bass and Wouters giving up the guitar (which Andrew also played) to learn drums.

Civil Twilight spent several years practicing in local church halls and garages before graduating to the local club scene, where they steadily became a well-respected act. Having finished their education, the bandmates then moved to Los Angeles in August 2005; shortly thereafter, they signed with the indie label One October and co-produced their debut record, Human. The album arrived in 2007 and received an extra boost when several songs were featured in prime-time television shows including “One Tree Hill” and “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.” As their profile mounted, the musicians relocated to Nashville.

Check out their video for “Letters From The Sky” above.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Wearing Wedding Band – PICS

May 27, 2010 By 11 Comments

The eagle eyes of the net have noticed that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been wearing wedding bands. The couple has photographed on several different occasions wearing the gold band that they appear to be sharing.

Let the engagement, wedding in Vegas and pregnancy rumors begin! My guess is that it is just a mushy couple thing. It also looks a bit like the ring Rob wore for “Bel Ami.”

Matt Lauer Had an Affair with a TRANNY!?

May 27, 2010 By 6 Comments

There’s been a big twist in the story of Alexis Houston, the self-proclaimed relative of Whitney Houston and performer rumored to be Matt Lauer’s mistress (catch up on that here) – That’s not a girl… That’s a man, baby!

Per NY Post:

According to one source who has known the singer for years, Wellington had sex-change surgery three years ago after a man fell in love with the cross-dressing singer and paid for the operation.

Houston held a press conference outside NBC studios in New York with Gloria Allred to deny and put to rest the rumors that she and Lauer had and sort of an affair. Allred sure does have a monopoly on defending mistresses… or manstresses… or, whatever. And good thing for Matt … “She” looks kinda like what you’d have if Oprah’s ugly sister used the Willams sisters’ hair-stylist.

Justin Bieber: Don’t F**king Touch ME!

May 27, 2010 By 30 Comments

He might not be as squeaky clean as we all first thought! Justin Bieber has been accused off having a little bit of a hissy fit after he flew into a swear-word tirade on a TV chat show. Bieber allegedly stunned staff at Sydney-based morning TV show “Sunrise” last month when he cursed at a floor manager who led him him to the performance stage.

Per News.com.au:

“Our floor manager was directing him to where he was about to perform and he turned around to Nick and said ‘don’t ever f**king touch me again’ and Nick went ‘What?’,” David “Kochie” Koch told the Mike E and Carmela in the Mix breakfast show.

Koch was so disgusted that he declared that someone should give Bieber a ‘bit of a slap’. It’s probably far more effective to send the little brat to bed without any dinner and take away his allowance. Actually, just ground him for a bit and stop him from performing – its a win-win for us all! Bieber, of course, is denying the claims that he’s got a filthy mouth and dropped the F-bomb, tweeting that he knew better than to treat people with disrespect.

“Family time with my mom couldn’t come at a better time….I was raised to respect others and not gossip…nor answer gossip with anger,” he wrote on Twitter. “I know my friends family and fans know the person I am. Hearing adults spread lies and rumors is part of the job I guess. But all I have to say is… kill em with kindness.”

Can we say: “Believing his own hype?” – I think that term suit’s him best. Despite Bieber’s tweet, Kochie, who on Wednesday said Bieber’s sound technician referred to his behavior as regular, stuck to his guns about the incident – and seven other staffers also supported his statement. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about Bieber acting like a diva. He reportedly stormed out of an interview during Radio 1′s Big Weekend in Wales when a journalist asked about his tattoo (click HERE to see pictures of Bieber’s tattoo) giving him the finger on his way out, before being booed as he took the stage. Maybe the bubble’s burst?

Daniel Craig Gay Scandal

May 27, 2010 By 2 Comments

It’s time to put on your imagination caps again! The National Enquirer has come up with more proof-less hokum. They have moved on from the Matt Lauer joining the whore brigade taking over Hollywood (click HERE for the Lauer cheating scandal) and claimed that Daniel Craig is gay. The new Bond was allegedly spotted in Roosterfish Bar in Venice on May 15 playing grab ass with another man.

Via Celebrity Fix Per National Enquirer:

“It was definitely Daniel Craig, and he was most certainly making out with a guy. Daniel kissed his friend on the lips. It was an open-mouth passionate French kiss. In fact, Daniel held the guy’s head in his hands and pulled him in for the kiss!”

The witness (who, in true National Enquirer form even took a polygraph test to prove the story was genuine) says when Daniel realized he was being watched he “immediately broke away from the guy. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

Another “witness” backs up the first story by stating that Daniel walked in to the bar with what he/she thought was just a gay friend until he started rubbing Daniel’s leg and shoulder. They followed this display of affection by dancing together.

Craig is engaged to a film producer, Satsuki Mitchell and I highly doubt he would be dumb enough to do his homo ho stroll in public with a bit fluff. I say pics or it didn’t happen, but I am in the business of peddling hearsay….so let’s just add to the nuttery with a story about the time he was caught doing body shots with David Beckham.
