Reports originating from TMZ are circulating that Dick Clark has passed away today from a massive heart attack.
The famed TV producer, and “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” host was 82 years old.
Clark’s rep tells TMZ, the TV icon had been in St. John’s hospital in L.A. after undergoing an outpatient procedure last night. Clark suffered the “massive” heart attack following the procedure. Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
Stacy Knutson, a struggling Minnesota waitress and mother of five, says she was searching for a “miracle” to help her family with financial problems.
But that “miracle” quickly came and went after police seized a $12,000 tip that was left at her table. Knutson filed a lawsuit in Clay County District Court stating that the money is rightfully hers. Police argue it is drug money.
Knutson was working at the Fryn’ Pan in Moorhead, Minn., when, according to her attorney, Craig Richie, a woman left a to-go box from another restaurant on the table. Knutson followed the woman to her car to return the box to her.
“No I am good, you keep it,” the woman said, according to the lawsuit.
Knutson did not know the woman and has not seen her since, Richie said. Knutson thought it was “strange” that the woman told her to keep it but she took it inside. The box felt too heavy to be leftovers, Ritchie said, so she opened it — only to find bundles of cash wrapped in rubber bands.
The woman who is best known for her syndicated nightly U.S. radio program featuring song requests and dedications, has a request and dedication of her own and she’s hoping her fans are willing to play her “song.”
“I know Sammy lived…”
On March 11, Delilah announced via her Facebook page that one of her children had passed away earlier in the day from sickle cell disease. Two weeks later, she made an impassioned plea to her fans on that same Facebook page asking them to remember her son:
I spend most mornings with my wife and children. We begin our day together on a car ride to various schools and morning stops. Along the way we have discussions about topics that are important to each of us. After the kids are all safe inside their schools, the wife and I spend a few minutes together debating current events or discussing the tasks of the day.
A week ago, NFL Commissioner Goodell handed down his punishments for the Saints organization regarding the existence of “Bounty Gate.” For those that live under a rock, “Bounty Gate” is the dubbed title for the scandal that has rocked the NFL’s New Orleans Saints football team. During their Super Bowl run, the Saints had adopted a “Bounty” system for their defense that awarded cash prizes for defensive players who took opposing offensive players out of the game. That’s a big “no, no” and Goodell handed down numerous suspensions, fines and firings.
Mind you, some players no longer play for the Saints and still suffered suspensions. Former Saints Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams was suspended indefinitely. A long list of penalties is as follows:
No, Mad Men star January Jones isn’t sitting at her dining room table carving her placenta like a steak. The new mom actually is ingesting it though. In the form of pills!
The 34-year old actress gave birth to son, Xander Dane last September and went back to work soon after. Jones told PEOPLE that her biggest challenge of being on set so soon after giving birth was just plain old exhaustion.
It was hard to work long days and then go home and not sleep,” Jones admits. “It’s getting harder, not easier, so I’m a little concerned!”
To combat that fatigue, the woman who breathes life into Betty Draper admits that she uses a little bit of an unconventional method. She claims it’s easier to get through her day at work and whenever she is feeling down because:
“I have a great doula who makes sure I’m eating well, with vitamins and teas, and with placenta capsulation.”
Wait. What???
Jones goes on to explain her decision saying:
If you’re Kim Kardashian, you travel with an extra outfit apparently and with good reason too!
Last night while at the launch of her new fragrance True Reflection, Kim Kardashian was attacked. An unidentified woman flour bombed Kim as she walked the red carpet. The woman tossed a plastic bag of white powder on Kardashian as she passed by, according to sheriff’s deputies.
The Associated Press has reported that paramedics were called to West Hollywood’s London Hotel but that Kardashian refused treatment. The powder mostly landed on the reality star’s jacket and hair and it was determined later that the powder was in fact, cooking flour.
Kardashian responded to the attack to E! News saying:
Two different camps will have two different feelings tonight regarding the cause of death for Whitney Houston.
Her critics will be experiencing a twisted jubilance over being able to stand tall and yell the words “I told you so,”…exclaiming victory in a competition only they believed they were in.
Her fans are surely shaking their heads in disbelief and a sadness will settle on their hearts. Tonight they are forced to acknowledge that while Houston played the part of a recovered addict well, it was nothing more than another performance she gave the ones who loved her. In truth, the smiles and the exuberance we saw in pictures and video just prior to her death were a facade designed to make the world believe she had cast out the demons that had haunted her for years.
The Los Angeles County coroner’s office confirmed Thursday that Whitney Houston’s official cause of death was due to an accidental drowning.
Houston had cocaine in her system, a drug she swore she had beat several times. The report includes that in addition to cocaine they found marijuana, Benadryl and Xanax in her system.
Coroner chief Craig Harvey told PEOPLE:
Robert Griffin III (RG3) showed off his football skills this week to the Washington Redskins in the Baylor indoor training facility in Waco, TX.
A pep in his step and a showing of passion, as well as demonstrating his abilities to play the game, were just a few things that began to buzz about this Heisman winner. The greatest story is how he proposed to his fiance on that very same field a few months ago.
A Facebook photo has seen a lot of attention since yesterday. Many claimed the pic was a fake or digitally altered especially since it’s so blatantly offensive to some that they can’t imagine anyone would place it on their vehicle.
Well, half the country will be disappointed and the other half will be cheering because it turns out the pic is NOT altered and the bumper sticker really does exist. That means, yes…someone really did put it on their vehicle and apparently a lot more people are rushing out to get them now that they know they’re available.
The photo below shows the back of a car with a bumper sticker on it that disapproving Americans are calling racist and hate-filled. The bumper sticker reads:
When the going gets tough, the tough….pack up and move to the country? Well, you do if you’re Jennie Garth.
The star who is best known for her role as Kelly Taylor on Aaron Spelling‘s hit show, Beverly Hills, 90210 announced this week that she is divorcing her husband of 11-years, actor Peter Facinelli.
Almost immediately after the couple issued a joint statement announcing their split, rumors began to abound in Hollywood that infidelity was the cause of the break-up. The soon-to-be-ex’s issued a second statement admonishing the rumors and saying:
