If this is true, she'd better not send Mr. Federline out to find a job ... that's what Shar did and see what he did ...

Oooh, snark on LadyT. You are so correct and it would be schadenfreud at that point. She should sign up for Scientology it would be a good fit. It might actually provide her with something resembling structure and would give her something to blow her money on besides Federline, Cheetos and Red Bull.

Katie Holmes - she is a mess. I hope her family intervenes. For W magazine to essentially trash their cover girl, well . . . reminds me of the Vanity Fair article on the infantile posturing of the Desperate Housewives. Comeuppance time.

Who's to say Katie ever had an original thought? I would imagine it would be easier to convert someone who isn't quite so smart. Maybe that's what he finds so appealing. He can mold her his own way.

Sayin', Twinks. I didn't know much about her before, but considering the end of that interview I'd recommend her for the short bus.

Luther Vandross funeral a star-packed event

Associated Press

NEW YORK — The funeral service for eight-time Grammy winner Luther Vandross hit just the right notes Friday: soulful, joyful and powerful, an echo of the late singer's unforgettable voice.

Family, friends and fans filled The Riverside Church for a celebration of Vandross' too-short life, a memorial service that morphed into a revival meeting before ending with an all-star rendition of his hit single "Power of Love/Love Power."

Vandross' wide appeal was evident in the first few rows of mourners, where current hitmakers Usher and Alicia Keys shared space with music legends Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle.


<<snipped for length>>

As Vandross' gold coffin sat at the foot of the altar, LaBelle read a poem written by the R&B icon's mother, Mary Ida, who was seated in the front row. Vandross' other family members, nine nieces and their 11 children, filled in the seats around the family matriarch to remember the man known to them as "Uncle Ronnie."

The altar bore just a single, simple floral arrangement, with white lilies rising from a collection of white and yellow roses.

Mourners lined up for two city blocks in a driving rain before the church opened. Once inside, they were brought to their feet and moved to cheers repeatedly as Vandross favorites Wonder, Franklin and Cissy Houston sang in tribute.

Houston performed the gospel standard "Deep River," while Wonder left the crowd breathless with his version of the gospel song "I Won't Complain."

But it was Franklin, brushing aside a slight sore throat, who sent choir and clergy dancing on the altar with her version of "Amazing Grace." Franklin began to ad-lib at song's end, addressing the Vandross family and congregation as the music swelled and the crowd clapped along.

"There's healing in the name of Jesus!" she sang before returning to her seat, where Franklin raised her hands and waved along with the rest of the church as the organ music pulsated.

You know, reading that article posted by GAL, I'm really kinda... I don't know. Freaked out? Could Katie aka Kate say ANYTHING that didn't end up with how wonderful Mr Cruise is? It sounded like the lady doth protest too much, and is trying to convince herself. This relationship is not based on love. Infatuation dies and then what is left? And that Scientology lady who is Katie's "best friend"? Gak!

I recorded it. Patti Labelle was great. Wonderful music, wonderful choir. Cissy Houston performed a song called Deep River and she was amazing. Dionne Warwick read a beautiful letter from Gladys Knight and read the obituary. Stevie Wonder was really broken up and said a prayer to god and also said a prayer spoke of the terrorist attacks and spoke of love and how as s ingers and writers they would spread the message. Then he sang a gospel song I didnt recognize it but it brought the church to their feet screaming. Then his friend of 41 years gave the eulogy. Aretha sang Amazing Grace. and brought the place down. The last song every singer in the church, Stevie Wonder, Aretha, Dionne, Patti Label, Fonzi Thornton, Cisy Houston, Alicia Keyes, The c hior, faces and names too many to name, crowded around the piano, up on the alter and all sang We've got the power (I think that is the name of the song) It just gave you shivers. Cissy Houston had to be helped off the alter she was crying so much as the choir finished the hymn. As his casket left the church the whole church applauded.

It was truly a beautiful funeral

Anyone who gets NY1 can see it replayed today at 3pm.

She could have been there, there was someone there with her colored hair but it wasnt big. It was great. I have a vcr locked away somewhere and will hook it up to my tv to tape it. If that works I can send it to you. Aretha was just amazing after amazing grace it sequed into an impromptu hymn for his family.

It sounds wierd, but I was happy for Luther.

Mocha - eewwww!! Quentin Tarantino is my worst case scenario for a date. He makes my skin crawl (and I don't think he's the vunderkind of modern cinema, either. I don't care for his flicks at all.)

Next topic - it warms the cockles of my cold, cold heart to know that a no-buzz/no-name/crappily-reviewed movie like "The Fantastic Four" knocked "War of the Worlds" off the top of the box office after just one week. I'm sure Cruise will blame it on everything but his own weird behavior. Ordinarily I would run to see any Spielberg movie, but I refuse to see this one because of Cruise. Free Katie!!

After reading the article, I am actually afraid for Katie and where the hell is her family in all this? It's one thing to be an ordinary person who falls victim to an abuser that the outside world can't see. It's quite another when you are in the spotlight for the whole world to witness.

With that said, my evil twin has to also add that maybe we should send Katie some vitamins to get the rid of the bad aliens inside her brain. While I think it's way too late to save Tom, there's still hope for her.

More paternity cases for prince?


Prince Albert II of Monaco, who publicly acknowledged last week that he is the father of a child born to a former Air France flight attendant, said that others may step forward with paternity claims.

A day before the bachelor prince formally accedes to the throne, Albert told the French TF1 television station that he was "extremely shocked" at the way the existence of his nearly two-year-old son was made known by the press. The child's mother is a former Air France flight attendant originally from Togo.


Asked by the television interviewer if there might be other such cases, the prince said, "I know there are other people who have nearly the same cases." Asked to elaborate, he refused. "We will answer when the moment comes," he said.

looks like Prince Albert may have a soccer team for monaco in the making

I just can't figure out how he's managed to avoid being a European tabloid darling all this time. With all the heat his sisters have taken, he's pretty much just sailed along quietly. Guess this is his coming out party - as in coming out as a raging heterosexual. In the Catholic Church you're not supposed to fornicate OR use birth control. To the best of my recollection both are venial sins, though, so if you're willing to commit the one sin the other isn't much of a stretch. Maybe we should take up a collection and send him a box of latex condoms. Oh, and we'll send one to Prince Charles too just for jollies.

It cracks me up that this petit prince has left a trail of enfants over tout de Europe. Now we can understand why Papa put Caroline in the line of Succession. She is the Mother Theresa of the bunch now.

Well, Mariah Carey just had a bad day yesterday. First her clothes fall off in the middle of a concert

Ooopsie

then her sister gets arrested for prostitution

Ooopsie-Daisy

ETA I'd love to see what would happen if Tom Cruise offered her vitamins the next time she has an emotional breakdown. My money would be on Mariah.

I think I read somewhere that Mariah has been taking care of her sister's kids or another siblings kids.

It might be another sisters kid. I know her sister had aids, I assumed she died years ago and Maria was helping raise her boy.

No sure if I should put this here or in dumb questions (maybe will do both).
Anyways:
Michael Landon adopted and then "returned" a baby when he was married to his first wife. Anyone know if this is true or what the circumstances were? Was the baby named Jason Smith? Here is a link with some trivia if that helps;
