Celeb News!

All the news I am getting is coming from PopEater. You can follow up on more there. I am just taking the basis of the headline and describing it a bit.

So Lindsey Lohan is out of the job. She is blaming, and I quote, "all the sicko fans and the noise". As one viewer of this said,
"Fans? Producers won't hire her because she's an insurance risk. Directors won't hire her because her sense of self-worth is so overinflated it threatens to eclipse the whole of Hollywood."
Many others have agreed to this comment left on PopEater.

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer. This couple has been in an on-and-off relationship for some time, and this time it is supposedly because John has more time to Twitter then call or text Jennifer, according to a source not mentioned.

Late Night Comedian John Letterman is married! Yes, Letterman and Lasko began dating in 1986. He annouced on Monday's taping of Late Night of them being married.
"On Thursday, at 3 p.m., March 19, 2009, at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau, Montana, I was married to Regina Lasko."
He quoted, and later in the taping, he told the audience,
"I had avoided getting married pretty good for, like, 23 years, and I -- honestly, whether this happened or not -- I secretly felt that men who were married admired me... like I was the last of the real gunslingers, you know what I'm saying?"
I send my congrats out to you John and Regina!

For those who did not know (I didn't know this either) Jade Goody has passed away. Once an object of ridicule and racial slurs, she turned into a reality-tv star. She lived the last six years out in the public eye. Goody became something much more to thousands of fans as she battled terminal cancer with the cameras capturing every step of her illness. But, Goody died Sunday of cervical cancer at the age of 27...

I suppose we have time for one more... Ahh, for all you American Idol fans out there, this one is for you. You all remember American Idol winner David Cook? Crazed fans and groupies might be an inevitable part of the rock n' roll lifestyle, but as David Cook writes on his MySpace Blog,
"I have to address some behavior that has become disturbing. We pride ourselves on being accessible to you as fans, but in contrast, we do enjoy what little privacy we can muster. To that end, the efforts by some fans to find our hotel rooms, call our hotel rooms, attach things to our bus, etc., is something I have to condemn"
So please, and I say this to all fans of any celebrity, please give them some personal time. Yes, you might get paid to invade their bubble, but it's healthy to be able to get some free time where nothing, no one, could bother you.

Well, that's it for today. This is Paper, and I'm signing out.

Our Thought To Natasha Richardson...


I am sorry everyone for not posting this sooner, but I have had a volcano near me at a danger level, and last night it finally erupted. And good news is it heading north. But now, let's get back on topic.


For those who have not heard so, I will talk a little about her and what happened...


Natasha Richardson was an English stage and screen actress. Early in her career she portrayed Mary Shelley and Patty Hearst in feature films, and she received critical acclaim and a Theatre World Award for her Broadway debut in the 1993 revival of Anna Christie. She won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical, and the Outer Critics Circle Award for her performance as Sally Bowles in the 1998 Broadway revival of Cabaret. Some of her notable films included Nell (1994), The Parent Trap (1998) and Maid in Manhattan (2002).

On 16 March 2009, Richardson sustained a head injury, when she fell while taking a skiing lesson at the Mont Tremblant Resort in Quebec, Canada. The injury was followed by a lucid interval, where Richardson seemed to be fine and was able to talk and act appropriately. Paramedics and an ambulance which initially responded to the accident were told they were not needed and left. Refusing medical attention, she returned to her hotel room and about three hours later was taken to a local hospital after complaining of a headache. She was transferred from there by ambulance to the Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal in critical condition and was admitted about seven hours after the fall. The following day she was flown to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where she died on 18 March.


An autopsy conducted on 19 March 2009 by the New York City Medical Examiners Office revealed the cause of death was an "epidural hematoma due to blunt impact to the head", and her death was ruled an accident.


From all of us here at Open Mind Podcast I would like to say how unfortunate this event is, and I would to send out my sincere apologies out to the family and friends that have been affected. I have seen some of the work from Natasha, and I have to say that there is no one that can replace her... We here at Open Mind Podcast would like to send out our condolences to the family and friends in this hard time. From all of us here, this is Shane, and I am very very sorry and I wish the best for everyone.
