More on Elizabeth Taylor

Earlier this week, we lost a true legend – Elizabeth Taylor. I blogged briefly about her star as a child star then her transition to adult roles. I had just touched on her first four marriages when I mentioned Eddie Fisher. Oh, the Eddie Fisher thing caused quite a scandal. Fisher was good friends with Todd and when the young producer died in a plane crash, he offered consolation to Taylor, the young widow. Maybe too much consolation considering Eddie was married to Debbie Reynolds at the time. Although it was a sticky situation at the time, Reynolds and Taylor … Continue reading →

Age Differences – Up Close and Personal

When Matt, the man who would become my husband, and I started dating, he was thirty-three and I was eighteen. As we grew closer, got engaged, and then married, we came to understand that age can be just a number, or it can make all the difference. Looking at the situation now through the eyes of a parent, I can honestly say that if my daughter were to come home with a man so much older than herself, I would probably call the Mafia and see if I could arrange a hit. I’ve heard of (and seen) too many situations … Continue reading →

Mike Tyson Pleads Guilty to Drug Charge

If there were two sports legends that I could do without ever hearing about again, it would be O.J. Simpson and Mike Tyson. Both were extremely, extremely talented athletes who chose to let their personal lives overshadow and taint their professional athletic careers. And now both are back in the news. You know that O.J. attempted to retrieve some of “his” possessions from a dealer in Las Vegas. He was released on $125,000 bail and is back at his home in Florida, but faces eleven charges, ten of which are felonies. He could face life in prison if convicted of … Continue reading →

Anna Nicole Smith – 1967 – 2007

Wow, you just never know, do you? I was sitting here at the computer, messing around. I usually leave CNN.com open, just so I can check news every so often. But lately, there have not been any big headlines, other than the weather. Michele, the other Pop Culture blogger had just sent me an email. As I went to open it, a friend IMed me a message that said “OMG Anna Nicole Smith? Yikes.” I was like “What?” then Michele’s email opened telling me about Anna Nicole. One of Hollywood’s favorite oddball dames died today at the age of 39. … Continue reading →

Two Splits and an Unlikely Duo

I should have known it was coming. I had just read in Star Magazine how great a relationship Drew Barrymore had with the Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti. After all, Barrymore and Moretti had been together almost five years, which seemed like fifty in Barrymore years. Barrymore had not been known for long-term relationships, having been married first husband Jeremy Thomas for only six months and second husband Tom Green for a year. Then I went to the Movie and Television News section of the Internet Movie Database today and there is it – “Barrymore Splits with Strokes Drummer.” There is … Continue reading →

I’ve been writing here since the end of December of 2005 and I can’t tell you how hard this list was to compile, I chose one article from every month of this year and I still don’t think I’ve done every article here justice.
