Farrah Fawcett’s Celebrity Cancer

But the idea that the star who only exists on the TV dying on the TV helps anyone in reality is flawed. It’s her last role.

Katie Price Implicated In MPs Expenses Row

katie-price-second-homeKATIE Price was once a prospective MP. In 2001, she was on the hustings in Greater Manchester, standing for the Stretford and Urmston seat, which includes Manchester United’s Old Trafford ground.

Jordan’s battlebus – a blue convertible Vauxhall Astra – led the campaign for “For a Bigger and Betta Future”, a manifesto that included free cosmetic surgery, free season tickets and lower taxes for anyone shagging a footballer. A demographic that at the time inlcuded Jordan, who was allowing Dwight Yorke to hone his ball skills on her chests.

Sex And The City Actress Champions Abortion For Mothers Day

cynthia-nixonSEX And The City actress Cynthia Nixon is in support of what Tim Graham calls “Abortion Incorporated: the Planned Parenthood Federation of America”.

I am Cynthia Nixon. I am an actor, an activist, a mom, a daughter. But today, I am writing to you about motherhood, on behalf of Planned Parenthood and the many people they serve…

As Mother’s Day approaches, I am so grateful for the opportunity to make a difference and hope you’ll join me.

This Mother’s Day, you can make your gift in honor of someone you love. And the fine folks at Planned Parenthood will send that special person a special card saying you’ve chosen to make a gift to Planned Parenthood Federation of America in her or his name.

You’ll be making a gift to millions of mothers — and to a generation of daughters and sons. What a profound way to mark this day.

Graham puts his point succinctly:

The pitch says nothing about the millions of daughters and sons who have been liquidated in Planned Parenthood facilities.

But even better than his considered thoughts are the commentors on his blog. And do bear in mind that Nixon left the father of ther chidlern to live with a woman.

My son was very little [when it happened], but my daughter has a gay uncle [and her godmothers] are lesbians.”

Now read on:

But I wouldn’t take Cynthia Nixon’s advice for anything. She went from being in a relationship with a man to being in a relationship with a woman and she’s only one space alien abduction away from being Anne Heche – gotham pc

The guiding philosophy of Planned Parenthood is that if you didn’t plan her, kill her. Now there’s a warm message we can all embrace, isn’t it? – KC Mulville

I just puked in my mouth…is she serious??? I say “abortions for everyone”!!!! thats what she should of been saying.
have ya seen the “guy” she with? wow – Charlietexas

Why yes! Send your mom a beautiful card announcing that her grandchild was cut up into little bits and dropped into a plastic bucket!! And then thank her for making you such a strong person. She’ll be so proud – MidAmerica

The only difference between the Holocost [sic] and Abortion, is the age of the victim – Poovey

Agree or disagree there is no hiding the fact that when a celebrity speaks they act as polemicist – however trite their views…

Scarlett Johansson Cut

scarlett-johansson-cutWHY was Scarlett Johansson’s directing efforts cut from the film New York I Love You? The film’s producer explains:

The story did not specifically involve an interpersonal relationship, and it was conceptualized to be filmed in black and white – both of which were extreme departures from the other films. Scarlett presented me with an extremely compelling, albeit unconventional, narrative that appeared as though it would not necessarily conform to the overall approach of the entire collective.”

The Other Man In Katie Price and Peter Andre’s Divorce Tells All

jordan-peter-andre-sexJORDAN and Peter Andre Divorce Masterclass: Day 3: Jordan’s other man.

In “JORDAN JUMPER: I DIDN’T JUMP HER”, the Sun’s Brian Flynn introduces readers to “Married Andrew Gould, 28”, the “hunky horseman”, who says sex with Jordan is “out of the equestrian” and, “We’ve never had a relationship.”

Adding:

“I’m not interested in her at all that way. There’s no reason for Pete to be jealous.”

So that’s it. Move on. Here’s the Mirror’s front page:

“I am the man who broke up Jordan’s marriage – “HORSE HUNK REVEALS ALL.”

Back in the Sun:

He pointed out his wife was among the group who joined Jordan at a Bristol club after the Badminton Horse Trials. Wife Polly, 29, said: “We’re all just friends.”

That would be his wife who was out of shot in every picture published in the press? Will all now be revealed? The wife, of whom the Star says:

The handsome dressage trainer, who has two sons with his PR executive wife Polly, 29, has stables in West Sussex near Kate’s home.

Andrew adds:

“I did say I wasn’t the guy in the club. I didn’t mind it coming out, but Kate didn’t want Pete to know I was there because of how he reacts.”

Here’s the angle – the boozy meeting in city nightclub with the most recognisable chest in showbiz was clandestine…

Andre is asked if he knew Jordan before he sat her on a horse?

“Before Kate came to my stables I never really knew anything of her. I don’t follow the celebrity world. These rumours I hear of what she was like out clubbing, and seeing pictures of her falling out of clubs — I’ve never seen that side of her.”

How the press love pictures of Jordan in clubs, eh… And right now the hacks love Andrew Gould:

The riding champ, who has posed for saucy model pics in the past, claims he drove Jordan’s hubby “Insania” with jealousy… Andrew, one of the top five riders in the country, has posted a moody David Beckham-style pose on his official website.

And the press loves Twitter. So though Jordan has “fled” to the Maldives with her children, she finds time to send the fans a message in 140 characters or less:

“Thank you for all your support. It means so much.”

How much we might find out next month when Katie and Pete are due to meet with their agent in the US…

Dr Peter Andre Serenades Jordan

peter_andre-singsNOW split from Katie Price and her Jordans, Peter Andre would like to be called a Doctor.

Dr Peter has penned Call Me A Doctor, a tune that puts his dream of being a man of letters into verse.

Sings Pete:

She was my girl, my closest friend, my honey,

This girl was all I ever needed,

What will I do now that I’m leaving?

It hurts bad ‘cos I was true to her,

I’m regretting having anything to do with her.

Not since Dr and The Medics took us on up to the Spirit in the Sky has a medical man put so much heart into his throat. Not since ever has an orange doctor rhymed “her” with “her” so effectively.
