I had an Auntie Ivy. Had to sleep in the same bed with her when I visited my grandmother in Australia in 1975. She snored.

Aames Fights Back After Thanksgiving Suicide Attempt 7 January 2009 5:24 PM, PST Former U.S. sitcom star Willie Aames is battling back after surviving a suicide attempt on Thanksgiving Day. The 46-year-old Charles in Charge actor took a cocktail of alcohol and pills and slashed his throat after suffering a breakdown in Los Angeles. In an interview with Star magazine, Aames reveals he hit rock bottom after he was declared bankrupt; had his car repossessed, and his wife of 22 years, Maylo, asked for a divorce - all within the space of a month. He fled their Kansas home, rented a room in Los Angeles, and made an attempt on his life. Aames reveals, "I stole a bottle of Jack Daniel's from the guy I was renting the room from. I'd been sober for 20 years when I took that first drink. I was also taking anti-depressants and anti-anxiety pills. It got so bad, I put a knife to my throat and cut myself in six places. "The police came, put me in handcuffs and whisked me away. I was completely devastated. I kept asking, 'What did I do wrong?'" Aames spent time in a California psychiatric ward, but is now out and attempting to start a new life as a furniture builder. He tells Star, "I hope I can inspire other people with my experiences."

Wow, he seemed to be pulling himself together (at least physically) on that last Celebrity Fit Club. That was sad to read. Hope that can move forward from this.

Sherbabe, but Tulip and Rose are the middle names, so sort of "taken". Hmm, Mocha.. plants.. like Ivy, Fern, .. LOL, promise I didn't read Babyruth's post before writing that!! I saw Mocha's post mentioning plants and scrolled on down here. The CBS evening tabloid shows of course talked about the services for Jett Travolta and interviewed or showed clips of other stars who have lost children.. very touching.

Sharon Stone and Harrison Ford lend their support to Anjelica Huston at her husband's funeral link With grief etched on her face, actress Anjelica Huston led mourners at the funeral of her husband Robert Graham in Los Angeles yesterday.
Graham, whose massive bronze sculpture works mark civic monuments across America, including the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, died at the age of 70 on December 27. The renowned sculptor had been ill for some time and died at the Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital with his wife and family at his side. [more at link] I have been fortunate to meet Ms Huston twice--I even got to talk to her on the phone once when I was arranging her appearance at one of our English Department events--and, in addition to being one of my favorite actresses, she is also a lovely, charming woman. Her husband's sculptures are kinda ubiquitous at UCLA, too. I wish her well

That is so sad. I didn't realize. I looked at People and they haven't reported anything about it. Says a lot.

From Perezhilton.. Lisa "Denise Huxtable" Bonet gave birth to a baby boy on December 15th. The babydaddy is Stargate Atlantis actor, hottie Jason Momoa. They've named their son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha. That's some name! This is the couple's second child. As most of you know, Bonet also has a 20-year old daughter, Zoe, with rock star Lenny Kravitz.

Here's what the name means: He was born on the stormest, rainy night. so Nakoa(warrior)...Mana(strength/spirit) Kaua(rain) po(dark)... The name was always going to be Nakoa-Wolf, but Jason did the research on first middle name, 2nd middle name as you know is Jason's. Found at The Huntington Post

LOL.. I was skimming and thought the baby was named Stargate Atlantis.. which might be preferable in some cases. Sad about Anjelica's husband.

Wow it didn't feel like 5.9. I guess. It was much shorter than the other few I've been through at any rate. This was far less of a "rolling" type earthquake and more jarring.

LOL.. typo.. it said 5.0 and now is saying 4.9. And I feel them differently, being in a liquifaction zone here in Fountain Valley. But yeah, not a 5.9 by a longshot.
