Farrah Fawcett Funeral - Ryan O’Neal Says Goodbye

by Christy Zutautas


farrah-fawcett-poster

As Farrah Fawcett was being laid to rest someone overheard Ryan O’Neal say “Goodbye Babe.” Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett have spent much of their lives together. Actors Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal, 68, spent the years between 1982 and 1997 together, and after several years apart reunited romantically in 2001. The couple had their son Redmond O’Neal in 1985.

Ryan O’Neal was married twice, once to Joanna Cook Moore and also to Leigh Taylor-Young. He has three other children aside from Redmond. He is also father to actress Tatum O’Neal, and sons Griffin and Patrick O’Neal.

Farrah Fawcett was also married before to “The Million Dollar Man” actor Lee Majors. The couple were married during the height of their fame, from 1973 to 1982.

Even though Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett were so in love with one another, the couple never married. Ryan O’Neal asked Farrah Fawcett to marry him this June of 2009 while she was very ill with cancer. Fawcett agreed to marry O’Neal but was never well enough to follow through with wedding plans before her death.

Ryan O’Neal was extremely devoted to Farrah Fawcett during her last days, rarely leaving her side. In the documentary “Farrah’s Story” his deep love and devotion for her is evident.

Farrah Fawcett decided to bravely make the unscripted documentary of her fight with cancer as a personal diary and a way to reach out to others who are also battling cancer.

It’s inspiring and also painful to watch Farrah’s struggles. When Farrah Fawcett died the world lost their “angel,” and Ryan O’Neal lost the love of his life.

Lisa Marie Presley - Michael Jackson Predicted Tragic Ending

by Christy Zutautas

michael-jackson-death-2009

I was absolutely shocked to hear of Michael Jackson’s death on Thursday June 25, 2009. Jackson was only 50 and ready to put on a fabulous London concert tour, the last thing that any of his fans expected was that a massive heart attack would suddenly take his life.

According to Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley Jackson believed he’d have the same fate as her father Elvis Presley who died at a young age after a drug overdose.

After Michael Jackson’s death Lisa Marie Presley sent out a public statement via her MySpace website, letting fans know that their marriage was not a sham and that the two did love each other. She also talked about how she wanted to save him but couldn’t. From the sounds of her statement she could see a premature death in Michael’s future.

It’s too early to know exactly why Michael Jackson had sudden heart failure but there is much speculation that prescription drugs are to blame. Whether Jackson needed to take the medication or was addicted to drugs is so far unknown, but it is likely what killed him.

Elvis Presley, Anna Nicole Smith, and River Phoenix are among the long list of celebrities whose drug and alcohol addictions led to a tragic death. In Michael Jackson’s case he had a private live in doctor subscribing powerful painkilling medications that at high doses can be fatal. Hopefully Michael’s doctor will be able to provide the answers on Micheal Jackson’s death that the Jackson family are now looking for.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 - Big Announcement - Divorce Papers Filed

by Christy Zutautas

jon-and-kate-gosselin-big-announcement1According to People.com Jon and Kate Gosselin have officially filed for a divorce at a Courthouse in Doylestow, Pa. The divorce papers were filed today, Monday June 22, 2009, the same day that the Jon & Kate Plus 8 “special announcement” show is scheduled to air.

The commercial promoting the big announcement show has gloom and doom written all over it, so it won’t be much of a surprise to viewers if the Gosselin’s officially announce that they are divorcing this evening during the hour long episode of the show.

The Gosselins have gone through the tabloid ringer over the past few months which has led to speculation that they were heading for a divorce. The couple who once had some on screen chemistry now seem uncaring and distant, barely even looking at one another when they are together.

Although Kate and Jon Gosselin have been experiencing relationship problems for quite a while now it wasn’t until May 2009 that they publicly announced they were having marital difficulties. The couple came clean about their problems shortly after Jon Gosselin was caught with Deanna Hummel, the 23-year-old woman whom he’s been accused of having an affair with.

Next it was Kate who was accused of having an affair with her personal bodyguard, a rumor that she’s continuously denied over the past couple of months.

We’ll have to wait until tonight’s episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ to find out if a divorce is what the two will be announcing but after People.com’s report I would be surprised if Jon and Kate’s announcement is anything other than the two officially splitting.

Update - June 23 2009 - The Gosselin’s announced during their Monday night show that they are separating and that divorce papers have been filed.

Here’s the announcement from the June 22, 2009 episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8:”

Jon and Kate Gosselin’s Big Announcement - Preview Video

by Christy Zutautas

Jon and Kate Gosselin are definitely a family in turmoil, but I wasn’t expecting to see those words flashing across the screen during their latest Jon & Kate Plus 8 promo video. The commercial is creating a huge buzz about what the big announcement could be.

According to Radar Online the Gosselin’s will be announcing their upcoming divorce. This makes sense considering the recent affair rumors and the fact that the couple just spent their 10th wedding anniversary apart. But you never know, the whole mysterious announcement just might just be a ratings grab for the show.

If the parents of sextuplets plus twins were smart they’d announce that they’re shutting down the cameras and going into marriage counselling for the sake of their kids, and their sanity.

Jon and Kate Gosselin will be letting viewers know what their “big announcement” is on their special one hour episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8 airing Monday, June 22, 2009 at 9/8c on TLC.

Rocker Billy Joel and Wife Katie Lee Divorcing - June 17 2009

by Christy Zutautas

katie-lee-joelbilly-joel

After five years of married life Billy Joel and wife number three, Katie Lee Joel are ending their marriage. According to recent rumors the couples separation is an amicable one and the two are planning on remaining friendly. Katie Lee, a food critic, chef, and TV host is 32 years younger than Billy, when they married the couples extravagent wedding made headlines.

There hasn’t been any official reason given for the break-up but I’m guessing that compatibility might be a factor since  Katie Lee is 27 and Billy Joel is 60 years-old. Seriously, how much could the two have in common? I’m betting that Billy Joel will eventually move on to yet another gorgeous wife, but he’s probably going to miss Katie Lee’s special skills in the kitchen.

Spencer and Heidi Pratt On Today Show - Heidi Poses For Playboy

by Christy Zutautas

heid-pratt-playboy

The Hills” stars Heidi and Spencer Pratt have been back in the spotlight since their dramatic week long appearance on “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here…” During a recent Today Show interview Al Roker asked the Pratt’s about their stint on the show and whether or not they felt that they were “tortured” during filming.

Spencer Pratt denied ever saying that he or Heidi had been tortured during the taping of the show and said that his sister (who began the “torture” rumor) does not speak for him.

Heidi Spencer was upset with Al Roker after the Today Show interview saying that he was aggressive and that she felt attacked, she even cried after the interview. Spencer wasn’t too happy either, especially since Al Roker questioned him on whether or not he was “a jerk.”

I personally didn’t feel that Al Roker crossed the line when interviewing the young couple but he may have gone a bit too far when he posted his opinion of Spencer and Heidi Pratt on his Twitter page. Is he a professional news-person or not? His Twitter Tweet was pretty “high school” for someone of his stature.

After seeing the video clips of Heidi and Spencer Pratt on “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” they do seem like quite a  flaky couple which is probably why Spencer Pratt supported his wife’s recent decision to bare it all in Playboy magazine. According to People.com Heidi Pratt will be appearing in the September 2009  issue of Playboy, a little ironic since the newlyweds spend a lot of time talking about Jesus.

by Christy Zutautas

madonna-adoption

Madonna has been granted permission by the Malawian court to adopt 4-year-old little girl, Mercy James. A few months ago Madonna’s adoption petition was denied but the superstar singer continued the fight to adopt Mercy who was being raised in an orphanage.

Although Madonna has officially won the right to beome Mercy James mother and bring her back to the United States to live, the father of the child has spoken about fighting to get his daughter back because he believes that Madonna lacks the morals his child needs learn. This “concerned” father has never even met his daughter.

Here’s more on the story of Madonna and her new daughter Mercy James:

Chastity Bono Transgender Announcement - Becoming a Man

by Christy Zutautas

cher-and-chastity-bono

Superstar singer Cher’s daughter is in the process of undergoing a gender reassignment a.k.a. sex change. 40-year-old Chastity Bono has already changed her name to Chaz Bono and prefers to be referred to as ” he” now and not  “she.”

Chastity Bono was born in 1969. Her parents starred in the television show “Sonny and Cher’s Comedy Hour” and Chastity made frequent appearances on the show alongside her parents. Later after marital problems Sonny and Cher attempted to reunite with their show “Sonny and Cher” but it only lasted a year.

Chastity Bono remembers being a tomboy as a child and wanting to her clothes to match her father’s when she was on her parents show. Chastity “came out” to her parents at the age of 18 and talks about her experience in the book “Family Outing” which is guide for gays and lesbians that she co-authored. Chastity Bono publicly came out as a lesbian in a 1995 interview but tabloid rumors of her sexual orientation began as early as 1990.

Chastity has worked as a writer, a gay activist, and had a short lived music career singing in the band “Ceremony.” She wrote a memoir sharing her life experiences titled “The End Of Innocence.”

This week Chaz Bono’s publicist announced that Chastity/Chaz was currently in the process of a gender transition. Cher has not made a public statement regarding her feelings on her daughter’s decision to become a man. Chastity Bono’s father died in a skiing accident in 1998, at the time of Sonny Bono’s death, Chastity had not spoken to her father in a year because of their differing political views.

In recent years there has been much more public understanding on the topic of gender reasignment, and likely Chaz Bono’s experiences will be a great inspiration those going through the same life issues.

Brangelina Rumors - Fights, Break-Ups, and Liquid Diets - The Truth About Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

by Christy Zutautas

brangelina-rumors-2009

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie usually ignore all of the crazy rumors about their relationship but the latest whirlwind of rumors are so bizarre that the couple actually took the time to deny them. Tabloids have been reporting everything from the couple fighting to Angelina Jolie starving herself on a syrup diet, and you guessed it, none of it’s true. Here’s a recent CNN news clip debunking all of those Brangelina rumors:

Megan Fox’s Thumb Pic Makes The News

by Christy Zutautas

megan-fox-thumbs

Megan Fox’s thumb is making entertainment news headlines today! It’s almost unbelievable that a picture of someones thumb could gain so much attention but Megan Fox’s thumb picture is one of the hottest Internet searches for June 11, 2009, and some are saying some pretty nasty things about this slight imperfection.

megan-fox-thumb-toe-picture

23 year-old Megan Fox began modeling at the age of 13 and launched her acting career in 2001 starring in “Holiday In The Sun” with actress Ashley Olsen. Since then Megan Fox has had a successful movie career starring in hit films such as “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” and the ” Transformers” movie series.

Megan Fox has appeared on the cover of several top magazines in recent years including “Maxim” and “Cosmo Girl” and she ranked #2 on the 2009 Maxim Magazine Hot 100 Sexiest Women list.

Fox has been dating “Beverly Hills, 90210″ actor “Brian Austin Green” since 2004 and the two are currently engaged. Megan Fox and Brian Green met one another on the set of television show “Hope & Faith.” Megan Fox is so in love that she even has her fiancé Brian’s name tattoo on her lower hip. She also has at least seven other tattoos including a picture of sex symbol Marilyn Monroe’s face on her right arm and the Chinese word for strength tattooed on her neck.

I somehow doubt that a gorgeous girl who’s not afraid to display her many tattoos is going to care much about what the public has to say about the odd way her thumb looks. Like any famous sex symbol she has been glorified and put on a pedestal only to be picked apart piece by piece at the height of her fame. This girl would be hot with any type of thumb so what’s the big deal anyway?

Dawson’s Creek Star James Van Der Beek Separates From Wife Heather McCombs

by Christy Zutautas

james-van-der-beek-and-heather-mccomb

Rumor has it that 32-year-old James William Van Der Beek Jr. and his wife 32-year-old actress Heather McComb have separated. It was James Vander Beek’s representative that alerted the media to the separation and impending divorce of the once happy couple. The separation occurred around two months ago and the couple who has no children have remained friends.

James Van Der Beek is well known for his portrayal of Dawson Leery on the television series “Dawson’s Creek.” Vanderbeek married Heather McComb on July 2003 in Malibu after the shows final season.

Heather McComb has been acting since the age of 2 and has appeared in over a dozen films including “Don’s Plum” and “Shark Swam.” Over the past decade McComb has made numerous television appearances on hit TV shows such as “CSI,” “Without a Trace,”  and “Prison Break.”

Both James Van Der Beek and Heather McComb practice the Kabbalah faith and are regular visitors to the Kabbalah Centre. Some other celebrities who practice the Kabbalah faith include Madonna, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, and Naomi Campbell.

Unlike most celebrities these days Vander Beek and McComb did not marry on a whim. They enjoyed a 17-month long engagement and held a romantic outdoor ceremony and reception with 120 guests. Several of James Van Der Beek’s “Dawson’s Creek” co-stars were in attendance. On screen love interest “Michelle Williams” and “Dawson Leery’s” screen mom “Mary-Margaret Humes” were there to share the special day.

Heather McComb and James Van Der Beek had separate wedding cakes that reflected their very different tastes. At the time of their wedding some journalists joked that the separate cakes were a sign of future marital problems.

Here’s a 2007 interview clip featuring actress Heather McComb:

Leonardo DiCaprio and girlfriend Bar Refaeli have split up yet again. People.com reported that the two were taking a relationship break. Bar Refaeli is a 24-year-old model and is likely far more ready to settle down than 34-year-old DiCaprio. Leonardo DiCaprio currently has 4 film projects in the works which must make it very difficult to manage a serious relationship.

The American Idol singer who is on the front cover of the latest issue of “Rolling Stone Magazine“ said “I`m proud of my sexuality.“Finally, Adam Lambert told the world what we already knew, he`s gay. As for a boyfriend, there hasn`t been an official announcement although the world pretty much knows the answer to that one as well…Drake LaBry.

That`s right Thomas Beattie welcomed a healthy baby boy into his unique family. Thankfully the second time around he didn`t make any major television appearances, at least not yet anyway.

Heidi Pratt Hospitalized in Costa Rica - Is The Reality Show Too Much?

by Christy Zutautas

heidi-pratt-hospitalized According to recent news reports 22-year-old “The Hills” reality star Heidi Montag Pratt has been rushed to a hospital in Costa Rica with a stomach condition.

The news of Heidi’s illness broke when Spencer’s sister Stephanie Pratt posted information regarding her new sister-in-law on Twitter.com. In her Twitter Tweet Stephanie stated that Heidi had been rushed to the hopital with an IV in her arm.

Heidi and Spencer Pratt joined the cast of the reality show “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here” but quickly quit. After rethinking their situation the newlyweds asked NBC if they could come back to the show where celebrities must survive strange tasks given to them while living in the Costa Rican jungle.

Spencer and Heidi were “punished” on the show by being sent into some sort of seclusion, Spencer’s sister Stephanie believes that this may have been what made Heidi sick.

Perhaps it was just the stress of being on the reality show alone that had an adverse affect on Heidi Spencer but either way it seems like the reality show is a bit on the extreme side. Anything for high ratings right?

Quite a few Heidi and Spencer Pratt haters believe that their behavior has more to do with the couple being two spoiled rich kids that can’t cope with what the reality show is dishing out than actual hardship.

But I personally feel sorry for Heidi Pratt, after all she decided to do the show to raise money for charity. The couple has more than enough money and fame so I don’t think they did it for just for the publicity. But looking at the negative tone of recent headlines regarding the couple I might be the only one out there that has any sympathy for the Pratt’s.

Here’s a scene from “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here 2009:

Lance Armstrong Tweets Newborn Son Max’s Photo

by Christy Zutautas

Lance Armstrong welcomed his new baby boy into the world in high tech style by sending out a Twitter.com Tweet picture of his son for all of his Twitter followers to see. The Tweet was sent on June 4th saying that both mom (Anna Hansen) and baby Max were healthy. Of course the baby photo is adorable and is one of the hottest photo searches online today.

lance-armstron-son-max-baby-picture-twitter

Baby Max Armstrong - Photo Origin Lance Armstrong’s Twitter Page

I think it’s great that Lance and Anna shared a photo of their son for family, friends, and even fans to see. Usually celebrities wait a while to see how much the magazines will pay for “exclusive” photos of their newborn. This shows that despite his celebrity status Lance Armstrong is a very down to earth guy who is thinking more about the excitement and joy of the birth of his son and not about how he can earn money off of the baby news.

Lance Armstrong and Anna Hansen announced their pregnacy in December 2008. Baby Max is a “miracle baby” because Lance Armstrong believed he was sterile after receiving treatment for cancer. Armstrong has three other children with ex-wife Kristen Richards who he divorced in 2003. Baby Max has a brother named Luke and twin sisters Isabelle and Grace.

Lance Armstrong recently released his tell all book “Lance” in which he shares details of his engagement with musician Cheryl Crow. Ironically Lance Armstrong and Cheryl Crow broke off their marriage engagement in 2006 because Lance wasn’t ready to settle down and start a new family when Crow was. Sheryl Crow went on to adopt a son, Wyatt in 2007.

About Superstar Couples

But they are actually like your everyday normal couple either craving for love and companionship or nursing a heartbreak and loss. Just because their couplings are amplified on the media doesn't mean they are different from us.
