Usher’s wife suffering from plastic surgery complications
Access Hollywood is reporting that R&B singer Usher’s wife Tameka Foster is experiencing complications due to plastic surgery in Brazil.
It’s unknown which body part she was having plastic on.
Usher was scheduled to perform at a pre-Grammy party tonight, but he canceled to fly to Brazil to be with his wife.
Many people assume plastic surgery is harmless, but remember Kanye West’s mother died last year because of plastic surgery complications.
No other details are available at this time, but hopefully his wife will be okay.
The couple married in August 2007, and they have two sons together.

Ashlee Simpson defends Jessica Simpson’s weight gain
The paparazzi and celebrity journalists have been dogging Jessica Simpson during the past week or so because of her apparent weight gain.
Her sister and her fitness training are coming to her defense.
Ashlee Simpson wrote a statement on her blog that said “I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister’s weight. Since when did a woman’s weight become newsworthy. A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman’s weight or figure.”
“All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you’re a celebrity, there shouldn’t be a different standard. How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure? Now can we focus on the things that really matter.”
I agree with every word Ashlee said. Yes, Jessica gained a few pounds, but so what? She’s still skinny to me. She might not weigh 100 pounds anymore, but that’s okay.
Her boyfriend Tony Romo doesn’t seem to care about weight, so no one else should either. Besides, everyone’s weight fluctuates from time to time, including mine.

Bone, Thugs and Harmony rapper was beaten up and robbed.
Bone, Thugs and Harmony rapper Bizzy Bone was beaten up and robbed. 
According to the Los Angeles Times, Bizzy Bone was confronted by several men at a hotel who beat him, choked him and stole his jewelry.
One person named Marlo Jones was arrested in connection with the incident.
The ironic part is that Jones was an employee of a Los Angeles anti-gang organization.
He was hired by the Los Angeles Police Department to help decrease the number of gangs.
It’s obvious the LAPD should be more cautious about who they hire to help reduce gang violence.

Kevin Costner was hospitalized
Actor Kevin Costner was taken to the hospital this week after he became sick while driving. He called 911 while behind the wheel complaining about being light-headed.
His spokesperson said he released from the hospital “after tests found that everything was normal.”
So, I guess that means he called 911 even though nothing wrong with him?

Tony Romo collapsed in the shower
Dallas Cowboys quarterback (and Jessica Simpon’s boyfriend) Tony Romo collapsed in the locker room shower following a football game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to ESPN, medical workers brought in a stretcher, but Romo walked out on his own. It is believed that Romo is suffering from a rib injury that occurred during the game.
Romo is a trooper though. After he collapsed, he still participated in a press conference even though he needed assistance to make it to the podium.
The Cowboys lost to the Eagles. Maybe Romo was so upset by the loss that he fainted. It’s hard for me to believe that he would have passed out if his team had won the game.

Chyna hospitalized for being too drunk
Former pro wrestler Chyna was hospitalized during the weekend for being too drunk. Apparently she had way too many birthday drinks.
According to TMZ, the former wrestler (whose real name is Joanie Lauer) was taken to a hospital after she became overly intoxicated on her birthday. Her party friends found her passed out Saturday with cuts on her arm, and called 911.
After all is said and done, I must admit, Chyna sure knows how to throw a party.

Michael Jackson says he doesn’t have a lung disease
Tabloid rumors have always swirled around Michael Jackson during the past 40 years or so.
But the latest rumor has gained some legs, and it has been reported on most of the mainstream legitimate news stations.
Many news organizations are reporting that Michael has a rare respiratory disease, and he is in need of a lung transplant.
However, a spokesperson for Michael claims that the news reports are false.
I’m not sure how this story spiraled out of control, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Michael had something to do with this as a publicity stunt in order to get some attention like he always does.
He’s always been an attention-seeker. That’s why he changed his face, slept in a hyberbaric chamber and always wears that surgical mask. And I’m not even going to mention the little boys.

Country singer Mindy Mcready attempted suicide
Country singer Mindy McCready seems to be getting worse and worse. The musician recently tried to commit suicide by slitting her wrists.
She was later rushed to the hospital, and she survived. McCready has been in and out of jail and rehab during the past couple of years.
This is the second time she tried to commit suicide. The first time was back in 2005 when she tried to make her overdose on pills.
Hopefully, she can put the pieces of her life back together. McCready became famous in 1996 with her country hit “Guys Do It All The Time.”

Full House star Jodie Sweetin loses custody of her daughter
A judge ruled this week that former “Full House” child star Jodie Sweetin will not be allowed to see her infant daughter without supervision.
According to TMZ, her estranged husband accused her of driving intoxicated while she had the baby in the vehicle.
Sweetin is a recovering meth addict who recently had a relapse, according to a doctor who testified in court.
Hopefully, Sweetin can recover and kick this habit for good so she can be a mother to her child.
Sweetin played Stephanie Tanner on “Full House” from 1987 to 1995.

Full House star Candace Cameron lost weight
Full House star Candace Cameron is on the cover of this week’s US Weekly magazine talking about how she lost weight.
Before I continue, let me say this. I was shocked to see that she was on the cover of this popular celebrity magazine. She’s not really a celebrity anymore, but I guess if you lose weight then US Weekly will put you on the cover.
She lost 22 pounds with no surgery and no personal trainer.
She said, “When I was 16, I filmed an episode of Full House where my family goes to Disney World. I remember putting on baggy overalls just to hide my stomach. When I watched it, I was pretty disappointed and bummed out looking at myself. I didn’t feel good about my own body.”
She’s says she’s now 110 pounds and 5-foot-2 inches. Her heaviest weight was 132, even though I don’t consider that heavy whatsoever.
Congratulations to Cameron for losing the weight and for making the cover of US Weekly. This will probably be the only the time she will ever be put on the cover of a major magazine again.

Phylicia Rashad is the new Jenny Craig spokeswoman
Clair Huxtable is about to follow in the footsteps of Queen Latifah and Kirstie Alley.
Actress Phylicia Rashad will be the new spokeswoman for Jenny Craig. Since the 60-year-old actress has put on a few pounds since her “Cosby Show” days, she’s trying to shed the weight.
Jenny Craig did wonders for Kirstie Alley and Queen Latifah, so I’m sure Phylicia will be successful with the program too. Besides, there’s nothing Mrs. Huxtable can’t do.
Now that Jenny Craig has a news spokeswoman, does that mean we won’t see Queen Latifah on the commercials anymore?

Oprah Winfrey said she weighs 200 pounds
In an interview with her own publication O Magazine, Talk show host Oprah Winfrey reveals that she now tips the scale at 200 pounds.
She said, “I’m embarrassed. I can’t believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I’m still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, ‘How did I let this happen again?”
Oprah said she’s gained 40 pounds during the past two years. Oprah will talk about her weight on her show that will air Jan. 5.
I guess Oprah is struggling with what alot of people are struggling with. People think it should be easy for Oprah to keep off the weight because she’s wealthy, she has a personal chef and a personal trainer.
However, I disagree. Oprah Winfrey is a billionaire. Therefore, she can afford to buy more food than everyone else.
Now that the economy is terrible shape, and people are losing their jobs, they probably won’t be able to afford to buy a lot of food for themselves.
But Oprah will always have plenty of money, so there will never be a food shortage in her refrigerator. On the bright side, Oprah was recently placed number one on the The Hollywood Reporter’s 100 Most Powerful Women list.
She might have gained 40 pounds, but at least she’s still powerful.

According to Entertainment Tonight, Scott Ruffalo is clinging to life in the hospital, and authorities are conducting an investigation into the shooting.

Mary Kate denies pregnancy rumors
Mary Kate Olsen gained a little weight, and now rumors are running wild that she is pregnant.
However, her representative told US Weekly that the pregnancy rumors are false. The rumors started when Mary Kate began to gain a few pounds. Her weight ballooned to a whopping 102 pounds.
That’s right. She’s no longer a stick figure. She no longer weights 45 pounds. She’s now up to 102 pounds.
If she keeps on eating, she will be up to a normal 125 pounds, which is where she needs to be anyway. Good luck Mary Kate. You can do it.

90210 star Shenae Grimes denies eating disorder
Super-skinny actress Shenae Grimes is denying rumors that she is suffering from an eating disorder.
In interview with People magazine, the new 90210 star said, “I really can’t help what someone thinks of me because they are reading a paper and choosing to believe it. It’s so frustrating. Meet me in person, and you can’t say anything. No bones sticking out. This is me. This is my body. I have accepted it.”
Ouch! It sounds like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. If someone thinks your skinny, she should take it as a compliment. It’s better than somebody saying you’re too fat.
Besides, it should be easy for her to squash those eating disorder rumors. All she has to do is start eating a couple of cheeseburgers in front of the paparazzi while they’re photographing you.

Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe injured after falling from a nightclub balcony
It looks like Desperate Housewives star Jess Metcalfe doesn’t know how to party in a safe manner.
Metcalfe was hospitalized after falling at a nightclub from a balcony that was two-stories tall. Metcalfe was Monaco to host the World Music Award.
According to People magazine, Metcalfe was at a club in Monaco sitting on the edge of the balcony when he fell backwards and landed on the ground 30 to 40 feet below.Metcalfe was released from the hospital shortly after, and it looks like there will be no long term damage, but he did fracture his fibular.
His spokesperson said, “To have fallen that distance and not have any major injuries was a miraculous escape. It was a very scary experience for him and those of us who saw him. It was a nasty fall. He was found face down on the floor. It could easily have been fatal.”
I recommend that he start taking some gymnastics, dancing, yoga or ballet classes to help him improve his coordination so he can stop being so clumsy.
He was at a nightclub when this incident occur, so it’s no telling whether he had too much to drink or if he was just plain clumsy.

Britney Spears’ son released from hospital
Britney Spears’ son Jayden was released from the hospital late Monday night (Nov. 10).

I just wish I knew what he ate so that I can make sure to avoid it myself.
Isiah Thomas overdosed on sleeping pills
All Isiah Thomas wanted was a good nights sleep.
The former NBA star was hospitalized for overdosing on sleeping pills. According to MSNBC, he was unconscious when medical workers transported him to the hospital.
Last season he was fired as head coach for the New York Nicks after he was found guilty of sexually harassing a former employee.
Maybe he took the sleeping pills so he can escape his problems, or maybe he took the pills because he was tired and he wanted to sleep…forever.

American Idol contestant says Simon Cowell made her drug addiction worse
Season one American Idol contestant Nikki McKibbin says she used to be a drug addict and an alcoholic, and she suffereed from depression, and Idol judge Simon Cowell is to blame.
In an interview with US Weekly, McKibbin says Simon’s cruel comments affected her.
She said, “I came out of Idol with a lack of self-confidence. I think I had my first solo in school when I was 5, and I got more as I got older: That’s the biggest compliment in choir. I had never been told I wasn’t good enough. Having to hear it for so many weeks from Simon Cowell killed me inside. I couldn’t get the s–t he had said to me out of my head. It drove me deeper into my depression. I wouldn’t say that this was Simon’s fault. It just added to the addict that I already was.”
McKibbin placed third on the first season of American Idol. She did receive alot of harsh criticism from Simon, but she wasn’t the only one. Simon is harsh toward alot of contestants.
Although Simon’s comments are usually cruel, he is not responsible for any of her addictions. I think she might be using him as an excuse.

DJ AM finds silver lining with plane crash
There’s always a silver lining in every cloud. DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) has found a positive side when it comes to his plane crash incident in which he received burns to his body.
He told People magazine when doctors examined him after the plane crash, they found a blood clot that could have potentially traveled to his heart and he could have died.
The blood clot was caused from flying too much.
He said he currently has 2 million frequent flier miles from whenever he flies back and forth to perform at clubs across the country.

Nancy Reagan injured
Former First Lady Nancy Reagan broke her ass. Literally, she did.
According to the Associated Press, Nancy suffered a fall in her home and was hospitalized with a broken pelvis.
This is the second time this year, that the former first lady has been hospitalized due to a fall. She also fell back in February and broke her hip.
Here’s my question. Where is the Secret Service guys throughout all of this? She is a former first lady, so therefore, she has Secret Service protection for the rest of her life.
We all know that Secret Service guys are around you constantly, and they never let you out of their sight. So where were they all those times Nancy was falling to the ground?
I guess none of them could extend and arm to catch her fall. Or maybe they were just on break. No one likes to work when they’re not on the clock.

Janet Jackson is resuming her tour
Janet Jackson’s tour is back on track.
After canceling several tour dates during the past few weeks due to an “illness,” Janet (Miss Jackson if ya nasty) will resume her tour Oct. 11 in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Unless she gets sick again and decides to cancel more shows, she is on track to perform in Tulsa at the Bank of Oklahoma Center on Oct. 26.
LeAnn Rimes cancels concerts
Janet Jackson isn’t the only person who has been canceling concerts left and right.
Country singer LeAnn Rimes recently canceled two more concerts because of some problems she was having with her vocal chords.
She recently pulled out of an Oct. 10 concert in Norfolk, Virginia and an Oct. 17 show in Lake Charles, Louisiana. This will be LeAnn’s eighth concert that she canceled.
Maybe her and Janet should get together and have a joint pity party for themselves.
