Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Clutch your leisure suits and weep into your polyester. Donna Summer has died.
The Queen of Disco was privately battling cancer and kept her struggles as private as possible. She was a youthful 63 years old.
I always hate writing about celebrity loss. In one way, we’ve lost a person who has touched lives and made an impact on the world. On the other hand, it gives me a break from writing about John Travolta giving out unwanted hows-your-fathers. Regardless, I am sad to confirm that Vidal Sassoon has passed away at the tender age of 84.
Sassoon’s family surrounded his bedside at his Mulholland Drive home to say goodbye. The hairdressing master was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2009, but his death was listed as “natural causes.”
I am a little late getting on the gossip wagon today, but I couldn’t let the day pass without mentioning the loss of Dick Clark. The beloved American icon was 82.
I never like to end my first shift of celebrity gossip with a Celebrity Loss story, but the ’60 Minutes’ vet has gone to the great big undercover investigative reporter’s break room in the sky. Mike Wallace has died at the age of 93.
Whitney Houston’s final autopsy report has been released. The official cause of death was already announced, but this report contains all the details. This may contain facts that you might find disturbing, so if you want to keep the vision of Whitney passing away quietly in the bathtub while wearing a diamond tiara and humming the theme song for ‘The Golden Girls’ …skip this one.
The Los Angeles coroner’s office has confirmed Whitney Houston’s official cause of death. No one is surprised that cocaine bears part of the blame, but drowning will go down as culprit on her death certificate.
Craig Harvey, the L.A. County Coroner’s chief, also revealed that Whitney had atherosclerotic heart disease. The ailment is a build-up of plaque that narrows the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart.
According to Ray J, they do. The guy who peed on a Kardashian and gave them relevance in that sex tape claims he has more things you never want to see on film.
Ray J says that he has a plethora of Whitney Houston sex tapes he wants to sell. (AKA – the rent is due.)
Bobbi Kristina is the sole beneficiary in Whitney Houston’s will. Looks like Bobby Brown will have to cancel the Boats N’ Hoes yacht party.
Whitney’s daughter will get everything. The will, which was updated in 2000 while still married, gives the ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer’s entire fortune to Bobbi. Brown will only see a dime of Houston’s fortune if Kristina dies. A judge validated the 19 page document and it was revealed that in the event of Bobbi Kristina’s death, Bobby Brown and several relatives would be left to split her estate. However, any of Whitney’s jewelry would go to her mother, Cissy, if Kristina died.
Stay classy National Enquirer. The rag has crossed the line with many readers and critics. While you are paying for your V8, Smirnoff, hot sauce, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce (aka breakfast), a photo Whitney Houston’s body lying in a casket will smack you in the face.
Whitney fans (and the general public who want to buy their Kashi without a gauntlet of dead people pictures) are appalled. The headline on the rag screams “Whitney: The Last Photo!” and the songstress is wearing a purple dress, sparkly earrings and her usual smoky eye shadow. Her nickname, Nippy, flanked by two musical notes are sewn into the lining.
As with all projects, if you attach Sparklepants’ name to it, it will instantly see an upsurge in interest. So is it a surprise that Robert Pattinson is rumored to be in the running for a part in ‘The Huger Games’ sequel? Well, its about as surprising as Britney Spears giving herself a break on [...]

Heidi Klum created a video for Hunger magazine. In the video she smokes, gets a tattoo and swings around a pole wearing nothing but a bunch of seat belts sewn together. (I am sure it was a Project Runway created garb. I can just picture Tim Gunn… “Everyone gather ‘round! Today you will be creating [...]
