Rocky Road for Rosie O’Donnell and wife Kelli Carpenter? Splitsville?
I just want to find out why gays are screaming for gay marriage again? Wouldn’t it be easier to just say “See Ya!” – and move forward? I’m kidding of course but I read online today that Rosie O’ Donnell and partner Kelli Carpenter are “having issues” with their relationship.
If you remember, the couple got married in San Francisco back in 2004 for a very well-publicized wedding. As expected, tabloids targeted the couple and every once in a while, you read about breakup rumors. But this time, there may be truth to the rumors. After National Enquirer published the Kelli Carpenter moved out of their home back in August, Rosie felt compelled to say something about it. She told USA Today:
“Kelli and I love each other very much and we are working on our issues,” she told the newspaper as tears allegedly welled in her eyes. “Those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever. And that is something that has been agreed upon by all parties.”
It would be a sad day if that happens. The kids they are raising together remains a priority however, according to her statement:
“But everything’s fine and everybody’s good and we’re still both raising them together. We will both continue to parent them and we’re friendly and everything’s all right.”

Do you see a catfight coming? Sarah Palin to appear on Oprah
As the world turns….
Yup folks, our folksy Sarah Palin will appear on Oprah on November 16th as confirmed by Harpo Productions. It will be the day before Sarah Palin’s book comes out – “Going Rogue: An American Life“.

Big Brother Winner Adam Jasinski uses his $500K winnings to buy and sell drugs
Whoah! What in the world??? Is that what you would do if you win $500,000 from a reality show? Is this what they call greed?
Allegedly, Adam Jasinski – the winner of Big Brother 9, was busted for attempting to sell and distribute oxycodone. Oxycodone is a powerful pain killer that is highly-desired because of its euphoric effects.
After winning $500,000 from Big Brother, Adam Jasinski has allegedly been using his winnings to buy and sell the drug. Can humans really be content with anything? I guess, the more you get… the more you want. If convicted, he faces 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

We want those boobs back – - California Pageant Officials to Carrie Prejean
… Uh-oh…Well, not literally… the saga isn’t over yet. Miss goodie-two-shoes Carrie Prejean sued the Miss California Pageant organizers (K2 Productions) after she was relieved of her duties as Ms. California by Miss Universe Pageant owner Donald Trump. She apparentlymade appearances without permission from the pageant officials which made her appearances a violation of her contract to the organization.
Prejean sued K2 Productions, Lewis, his former codirector Shanna Moakler (who resigned her post amid all the hubbub earlier this year), and pageant publicist Roger Neal for slander, libel, religious discrimination, public disclosure of private facts and infliction of emotional distress for supposedly using her as a scapegoat for any negative attention they may have received over the antigay marriage position she took before she was named runner-up at this year’s Miss USA pageant.

‘Where the Wild Things Are’ reigned at the box office this weekend with $32.5 million
Photo Credit: Warner Bros.
After Pananormal Activity’s surprising success with limited theater release, it did well again this weekend gaining third place with a known $11,000 budget. After seeing it however, I didn’t become a fan. It’s like watching Blair Witch Project while on a wild boat ride through disturbing seas. I was sick to my stomach with motion sickness, I was even late for work the next day because of it.
While that kind of phenomenon didn’t dominate this weekend’s box-office. Warner Bros.’ “Where the Wild Things Are” came up number as 1 earning $32.5 M followed by Law Abiding Citizen with $21.3 M – the phenomenal movie still did well comparing the budget spent for each of the films. $11,000 dollars spent with another $20.2 million earned is not bad screening in only 760 theaters. There will be an expected increase to that revenue when it goes full blast next weekend with 1,800 theaters.

Boy in Balloon found at home in the Attic – Safe
chuvachienes on Featured, News
This TV drama couldn’t have ended better than this. Imagine the frantic people watching this saucer-like balloon waving in the wind thinking that a boy is either inside or may have fallen off as it swayed uncontrollably.
The 6-year old boy was found in the attic of their home. The search was prompted when the boy’s older brother told police that his younger brother Falcon Heene climbed at the box that was supposedly attached to the helium-balloon craft.
As it unfolded, it was found that the boy didn’t board the craft. Instead, he climbed and hid in the attic.
“Apparently the boy’s been there the whole time. He’s been hiding in cardboard box in the attic above the garage,” Sheriff Jim Alderden said.
Thank goodness! Apparently, the family is very much interested in aliens and storms. For more details, visit MSNBC.com
Boy missing thought to have flown in a helium baloon – VIDEO
chuvachienes on Featured, News
Sheeshamagudness! How could it happen? A boy from Denver is thought to be inside a hot air helium balloon ( a home-made aircraft from what reports say). It was horrible as they have now found the baloon but the 6-year old boy was not inside.
Sources say that the 6-year old boy is Falcon Heene – confirmed to be Myumi and Richard Heene’s son who appeared in ‘Wife Swap’. They said that the balloon got as high as 25,000 feet. No confirmation just yet whether the boy was indeed inside the balloon or not. This is a developing story.

Rolling Stone – Madonna Looks Back
Photo Credit: RollingStones.com
We all have our stories right? And certainly, Madonna has her story as well. We all watched her story unfold before our eyes.. and it started more than 20 years ago and hasn’t seen the finale just yet.
She went through many transformations (if you were already alive in the 80s), all of them good and interesting. It kept the fans interested to say the least. Now, during her interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, she recalls quite a few parallel with another star… Lady Gaga.
“I see myself in Lady GaGa”, she says. “When I saw her, she didn’t have a lot of money for her production, she had holes in her fishnets, and there were mistakes everywhere. It was kind of a mess, but I can see that she has that ‘It Factor’.”
I kind of think that this is an endorsement…. or better yet, a team-up is highly likely. The 51-year old Queen of Pop is sure to be around for quite a very long time still. I hear a new Greatest Hits Collection on the way… I think I am still going to buy it.
