R.I.P. Jade Goody

1981- 2009

The Daily Mail in the UK is reporting that Jade Goody lost her battle with cancer early this morning at her home in Upshire, Essex. She is not very well known here in the US but is infamous overseas for her behaviour on the Big Brother reality show, which she won. On the celebrity version of the same show she made racist comment about her co-star Shilpa Shetty who is from India, apologized and then went on the Indian version of the show which she had to leave after being diagnosed with advanced stage cervical cancer. She has spent the last few months filmimg her ordeal for British television to raise awareness for cancer victims and to earn money for her children's future after she is gone. To make things even sadder, today is Mother's Day in England.

R.I.P. Natasha Richardson

1963- 2009

I really hate to be wrong, especially in this case. I thought that Jade Goody would be the next to go, I mean she's already laid up half conscious on a 24/7 morphine drip. But no, it had to be Natasha. Gorgeous, classy, talented and respected, plus married to Liam Neeson who I hear is packing very large. So sad. Can you imagine? You tumble down a bunny hill at a ski resort and die? My friends would never stop with the jokes, I could be 30 years in the grave and they'd still joke that it was my last 'blonde moment.'
Anyway, my heart goes out to her entire family, especially her kids and her mom. It has to be God awful to bury a child.

It Only Took 28 Years

Sunny Von Bulow finally died today in a nursing home after 28 years in a coma. You remember Claus Von Bulow who allegedly tried to kill her twice but was aquitted on appeal with help by his lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Go rent "Reversal of Fortune." Jeremy Irons is perfectly creepy in it.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have two parties to go to. What?! Relax. Life is for the living!

Bjork Can Sleep at Night Again

"Worst Dressed List" creator Mr. Blackwell has died from complications stemming from an intestinal infection at the age of 86. He hasn't been relevant for a while, gofugyourself has taken that role over quite nicely. He scewered every one from Princess Diana to Sharon Stone whom he called "An over the hill Cruella DeVille." You have to wonder if anyone in Hollywood is going to attend that funeral.
