Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Here is another one from the National Enquirer… A few days ago NE treated us to a tale OJ Simpson getting a prison yard beat down that turned out to be completely false (click HERE for that story…). Now we are getting a tale of Steve Jobs dying.
The rag is running with a story and photo that is allegedly Jobs leaving Stanford Cancer Center looking painfully thin. This is the same center that Patrick Swayze visited in his battle with cancer. Steve is in fact on an indefinite medical leave due to new problems from an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor (tumor on his pancreas) but their story has given him a mere six weeks to live. He has been battling with these cancer related issues publicly since 2004. In 2008 Bloomberg accidentally published an obituary for Jobs that had blank spaces for his age and final cause of death.
As for his current state…he is well enough to visit with Barack Obama in California today (Thursday Feb. 17th). However the report says that he is a dangerously underweight at 130 lbs (he is 6’2”).
“Critical care physician Dr Samuel Jacobson also told the Enquirer: ‘Judging from the photos, he is close to terminal. I would say he has six weeks. He is emaciated and looks to have lost a lot of muscle mass, which spells a poor prognosis.’
A source who recently saw Mr Jobs added: ‘He is very frail, moving like a weak, feeble old man. He weaves back and forth when he walks, as if he is having trouble keeping his balance, and the pain of every step is evident on his face.’”
Brave face or simply false report, we hope Mr. Jobs gets well soon.

Lady Gaga and President Obama don’t often travel in the same circles, but they’re the top competitors in a heated popularity contest to be the first living person to reach 10 million fans on Facebook. Early Friday, Obama had the lead by about 30k, but Facebook’s “monster” constituency picked up the pace in support of “Mother Monster,” as Gaga quickly surged past Obama. As of Friday afternoon, the pop star has reached 9,162,832 with the Commander-in-Chief trailing at 9,122,063.
Per CNN:
Obama’s page, which is run by the group Organizing for America, includes photographs of his recent Gulf Coast visit and links to speeches from news conferences. His page lists the president’s interests as “basketball, writing, spending time w/ kids” and says his favorite books include The Bible, Toni Morrison’s “Song of Solomon” and Shakespeare’s tragedies.
Lady Gaga’s page lists upcoming concerts and includes a biographical article describing how the 24-year-old pop star, who played piano by ear as a toddler, grew into a theatrical performer who wows the masses with flashy performances in international concert tours. “I’m just trying to change the world one sequin at a time,” she says in the posted story.
Who will win the race to 10 million? Only time will tell, though the King of Facebook is likely to remain Michael Jackson, who holds the #1 spot with nearly 13.5 million fans on the social network which boasts over 400 million users.
Which side are YOU on? Lady Gaga or President Obama?

President Barack Obama was snapped by photographers checking out the assets on a 16 year old girl. Mayara Tavares is the teen who seems to have captured the gaze of Obama. Everyone has their thongs in a bunch over this bum peeking incident.
I am not sure why. At least not in a creepy R. Kelly kind of way. If he is indeed checking out the girl in would insinuate he is an average male and while he should keep his bum peeking down to a minimum in public, it’s not as though he grabbed her and called her sugar bits while offering to show her his oval office if she showed him hers. He also could have been looking at a penny on the ground. Who knows. Secondly, this is hard the first presidential horn-dog moment. Two words for you…Bill Clinton.

Here is something to put the WTF? in your day. Heather Graham is taking credit for Barack Obama’s presidential election win. Yup, gonna need some more tea and strumpets chased with acid to understand the method behind this madness.
According to the ever so entertaining National Enquirer, Heather claimed that she and a couple friends get together to cast spells and burn stuff.
“I have this group of friends and we get together and we call ourselves The Goddesses and we wish for things and then a lot of amazing things have happened to all of us,” Heather admitted.
“We burn things — honoring the elements of earth, wind, air and fire. You do spells. We did this thing where we were calling on the wind and the air and this whole storm started on my roof. It was amazing and … empowering.”
So let me get this straight….she and her friends probably watch some “Grey’s Anatomy” on Thursday night, follow it with setting some stuff on fire and then head up to the roof and dance around trying to make it storm?
“My friends really wanted Obama to be elected so we all did a spell and then he got elected,” she divined. “It worked out good.”
I bet Obama is super thankful that Heather was setting fire to trees while wearing nothing but flag themed panties and dancing around with sparklers in her hair in the name of Barack.

The recently out-of-the-closet comedian, Wanda Sykes, attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and offended over the half the guest list. She took to the podium in front of the President and bent Rush Limbaugh over after he made some ignorant comments regarding the current administration overseeing the United States of American.
Per Fox News:
“Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails, so you’re saying, ‘I hope America fails,’ you’re like, ‘I don’t care about people losing their homes, their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq.’ He just wants the country to fail. To me, that’s treason,” Sykes said.
“He’s not saying anything differently than what Usama bin Laden is saying,” she continued, before addressing the guest of honor, President Obama. “You know, you might want to look into this, sir, because I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight.”
Obama politely smiled and even went on to giggle as Wanda continued her bit.
“Rush Limbaugh, ‘I hope the country fails’ — I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? … He needs a good waterboarding, that’s what he needs.”
The Press Secretary of the White House, Robert Gibbs, was unhappy with her speech turned HBO comedy special. Probably not a smart move to involve the snarky bits for the conservative party. The President hasn’t officially commented, but most are outraged.
What do you think? Did Wanda cross the line or hit the nail on the head?
The overnight singing sensation Susan Boyle has found a new fan! Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has apparently asked for the film rights to the singer’s life story and her sensational appearance on “Britain’s Got Talent“. According to reports, Zeta-Jones wants to play Boyle, popularly known as “Hairy Angel” because of her frizzy hair cut and bushy eyebrows, on screen. The actress was said to have contacted the producers of “Britain’s Got Talent” after Ms Boyle became a huge hit in the US.
Per Telegraph:
“This is one of many requests we have had to play her (Boyle), for movie deals and for stories of her life. All these people are coming out and want to be associated with her. She is the biggest thing in the world. It is mental,” a source on the show said of Zeta-Jones’ proposal.
Boyle has become a star in the US and UK after her performance of “I Dreamed A Dream” from “Les Miserables” on the popular show. The video of the Scottish singer’s performance became the most popular clip on “YouTube” of all time, even surpassing US President Barack Obama’s inaugural speech, with over 100 million hits. A spokesman for Ms Boyle said she was unwilling to comment. Reports also suggest that “Titanic” director James Cameron has also expressed interest in a similar project.
This would definitely be a different kind of role for Ms. Zeta-Jones, who is regularly voted one of the world’s most beautiful women in the world. But if Charlize Theron can add 30 pounds and hide all her beautiful features to play a serial killer, then I’m sure Catherine will have no problem pulling off a frumpy middle-aged woman.
