Rissa, I think it would be huge, not from a scandalas, our-president-was-a-cheater standpoint, but as a curiosity. So many people were SO heartbroken when John Jr died, that I think we'd love to see that JFK had another son. Did he know about the child? Ever see it? I'd like to see and know more about this child. But I do think Vanity Fair needs to be 100% certain before they publish such a story.

Just the ones that consider Brittany Spears to be newsworthy. I truly understand your sentiment Prisoner but the problem is that Spears is the ones calling the paps and telling them where she will be. Just yesterday she pulled up next to a group of them, talked for awhile before deciding which ones to invite in to her car to drive around with her. In her case it breaks my heart because she is obviously battling a very serious mental illness but she is still creating most of this monster herself. Look at someone like Lindsay Lohan. She was doing the same stuff, calling the paps then have them follow her around while she acts up. But since she has been to rehab you really hear very little about her. Why? Because she stopped calling them.

As Jimmer points out, clicking on the link to the video shows TMZ that people will go to their site to watch crap like that, whether its for salacious interest or from righteous indignation. I just think it would have been more appropriate to describe the video and say why it should be illegal rather than direct people to a site that gets its revenue from hits. Sites like TMZ and Perez (or the Drudge Report!) don't care why you go to their sites, they only care that you go. I refuse, because doing so supports just the behavior that Beekind complains about. I also don't watch ET or Inside Edition or any other show like that. I think paparazzi are vultures and I won't knowingly support their actions. And I really don't care if Brittany is calling them or not. Why is she calling them? Because they'll take pictures or videos of her and keep her name out there. Why will they take those pictures or videos? Because sites like TMZ and Perez will post them. And why will sites like TMZ and Perez post them? Because people will click on them to watch -- and each click ups their numbers.

I have to raise my hand and admit that I always have and always will read that trash. It's like driving by an accident. I don't close my eyes then either, I break my neck as I go by to see details. Well, I suppose we all have to agree on at least one thing about Heath Ledger...we will never know the truth.

Brenda, I think the initial curiousity will be huge too. Not only him but his mother, maybe more with the mother. (If true) they are obviously not fame or money seekers or the story would have leaked long ago. And if the only way to prove it is a blood test then this whole thing could just fade away. If the man isnt interested in being *outed* then what motivation would he have to agree to the blood test?

Has it been mentioned why Heath Leger was on all these meds in the first place? what was wrong with him?

LOL Huk, you and my mother both. I am not going to defend these guys. I have said it before, I think they are the lowest common denominator but at the end of the day they are making an honest living and filling a need/want. I am also not interested in getting into an arguement about grey. Entertainment Tonight, E!, the network entertainment segments, People Magazine, OK magazine, etc, etc. You start blacklisting and where do you stop? Time magazine covers entertainment news and uses the same photos, should we blacklist them too? Wouldn't it be hypocritical not to? Like I said.. too grey for me.

Kirsten Dunst has entered rehab, a source close to the actress confirms to PEOPLE. The Spider-Man star is being treated at the exclusive Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah, the same facility where Lindsay Lohan spent nearly two months and where Eva Mendes recently checked in, according to reports.

Re: the JFK "son". I think people can make up a story and make it sound really believable. Until there's proof, its a bogus story. But it will still get attention and maybe even money for the person that made it up if they are believable enough.

NYH Thanks for the link to the Angelina Jolie CNN interview/vid. I really admire her sincere, brave efforts. In an aside, I'd also like to say that I was impressed with how sensibly she was dressed, very respectable, and with no makeup, (she's still stunningly gorgeous with that bone structure and those pouty lips!) I love that she understands time and place and being appropriate. She's probably abiding by Iraq's dress code for women. While she's on the cover of all the mags right now in an expensive cleavage baring gown, and made up to the nines, at an awards show, she isn't pretentious and phoney in Iraq. She's smart and sincere. She's the real deal, bless her heart.

I think Britney brought on a lot of this publicity and loved it when it was going her way. Now, it's out of control and she's wondering why. How to make it better? She needs to start acting like a responsible adult and not a rebellious teen.

I don't think it is possible for Brittany to act any certain way right now. It sounds like she is honestly mentally ill, whether because of drugs or some other reason. She is the perfect opposite of Heath Ledger. If she passes away, I highly doubt there will be the outpouring of affection for her that there was for him. Yet, we have no proof of how she got to this state any more than we do of how he wound up dead.

Prisoner - I am the exact same way about those programs etc. My sense of exasperation while quickly turning the channel when they come on is huge with a loud WHO THE HEII CARES!!!!!!?? Amen Mame, she's the real deal and I adore her...

Cher Takes Celine's Place at Caesar's Palace I thought Bette Midler was going to be the new show, but this morning the billboard was changed to announce Cher. Previous news suggested that Cher would be a "limited engagement" in the Spring with Bette taking over in the fall. But it seems they have switched things around. Bette has the venue starting Feb 20th (not sure for how long). Caesar's Entertainment Page Battle of the Divas????

I also loved that Angelina was quietly thinking and discussing, no rants, no politicizing, and was very respectfully dressed, with what was obviously a headscarf around her neck. She was more animated in the next clip, if you stayed on through a commercial, eating lunch with the servicemen and women, but still hadn't really fussed with her hair or makeup. === Unfortunately it seems that Lindsey Lohan is back to drinking and nightlife again, as of this week, but hopefully it won't get to the level it did before her rehab (uh huh..) === And I agree that when people are in any kind of pain, be it physical or mental and sleep deprived, thought processes become muddied and bad things may happen.

Kona, that is very interesting!! Bette was on, uh.. gosh I was flipping channels and saw her, I think it was probably on Oprah, and had her daughter on as well and she did a number and was talking about being in Vegas and that was not long ago at all. Cher, huh?

Delta Burke, who has been a semi-regular on Boston Legal and earlier on Designing Women, has just "come out" as having hoarding disorder, the first celebrity I know of to go public with this. Supposedly there's a phone interview with her on TMZ, a show I have never watched, but I am afraid it may be yesterday's "edition". Because of my dialup internet connection, watching on the web is difficult to impossible. I am very interested because my coaching speciality is in the field of hoarding disorder. I've been searching through my tv listings here EST, and it does say it's on 2 different channels, one at 10:35pm and one early morning 1:00AM. However, as I said, I am afraid the Delta Burke piece may actually belong to yesterday's show. It's frustrating because unlike youtube audio pieces, it won't load on my dialup, and then replay once loaded--there doesn't seem to be a replay feature at: http://www.tmz.com/tmz_highlight_video?bcpid=1185043860&bclid=1184507640&bctid=1407927236 and I hear only about every third word when playing the "regular way". It's the "It Rules My Life" feature. On their website is where I saw that it is "date-stamped" Wed Feb 6th, not today :-(( Anyone know of a way to get a copy or a transcript, would like to know. thanks much.

I know Britney's mentally ill, but they can help her if she'd stay with treatment. It's not going to happen with people surrounding her and enabling the behaviors.

Nye County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Heidi Fleiss after they got a call about a possible drunk driver. The cops found the car, driven by Fleiss, and pulled it over. During the traffic stop, officers say they found prescription narcotics inside the car. Fleiss was unable to produce evidence that the medication had been prescribed to her. Fleiss was charged with driving without a license, possession of dangerous drugs without a prescription, under the influence of a controlled substance and driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

How did they know it was a dangerous drug if there was no prescription paper on the bottle? And if there was, wouldn't it have her name on it? Or at least some name on it that shows its not her's?

Bette still starts at Caesar's Feb. 20. I get Colosseum alerts from Ticketmaster and she is available for ticket sales from 2/20 - 3/16. Then Elton John has a month or so, then Cher in May, then Elton has some more dates and Bette is back 6/24. It's all good! Ticketmaster - The Colosseum At Caesars Palace
