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.

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.

Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick welcomed their twins into the world on June 22, 2009 when their surrogate gave birth.

Today,  a representive of the celebrity couple announced that they were naming their twin girls Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge.

Elwell and Hodge are both Parker family names. I love the names that the couple chose for their new baby twins, they are very sweet and traditional.

The Brodericks also have a son James Wilkie who is six-years-old. Congratulations to the Parker/Broderick family!

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:”

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.

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.

“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.

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:

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.

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:
