He was 51.

John was featured on the album, Animalize recorded during mid-1984. During work for the album, St. John clashed with the other members of the band, and eventually developed arthritis (Reiter s Syndrome), which caused his hands and arms to swell.

He was all but unable to perform live as a member of KISS, and only played three (one in full) shows during the Animalize tour, with Bruce Kulick filling in for the rest. He was officially replaced by Kulick on December 8, 1984.
His medical condition improved after leaving Kiss, and St.

A group of kids on spring break thought setting up a lemonade stand near George Clooney s movie set might be a good business move. They were right.

The star paid $20 for his lemonade, which 10-year-old Carter, 6-year-old Chandler and 5-year-old Chase Fontaine were selling for 25 cents. Before long, Carter had made another sign that read, George Clooney was here! and planted it at the road.

Way to go kids.

BLACKWELL slams Britney and Paris:
Who s the worst dressed woman in Hollywood? Even Mr. Blackwell can t decide!

This year Britney Spears and Paris Hilton tied for the No. 1 spot on the fashion critic s 47th annual list. Blackwell called the ex-bestfriends Screamgirls and said they were two peas in an over-exposed pod.

Los Angeles police said a woman called on Saturday and reported her boyfriend had just shot himself in the face . Officers found Jeni, 49, alive but fatally wounded in a West Hollywood home.

He died later in hospital.
Police spokeswoman Norma Eisenman said suicide had not been officially confirmed. An autopsy is due on Monday.

Jeni appeared in The Mask as Jim Carrey s best friend and had roles in several other films including The Aristocrats, Burn, Hollywood, Burn and National Lampoon s Dad s Week Off. He was a close friend of comedian Chris Rock, appearing in his sitcom Everybody Hates Chris and writing material for Rock s stint hosting the Oscars in 2005. But he was best known as a stand-up comedian, regularly playing to sold-out crowds at Hollywood s Laugh Factory.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, he first came to attention in 1990 with a 30-minute showcase, Richard Jeni: The Boy From New York, on the US Showtime channel.He became a regular guest on The Tonight Show during Johnny Carson s reign as host and continued to appear after Jay Leno took over.Several of his comedy routines were captured for television, with 1992 s Platypus Man winning a Cable ACE award for best stand-up comedy special and inspiring a short-lived TV series of the same name.

Frazer Smith, a fellow comedian who often opened for Jeni, said younger acts looked up to him. He was probably one of the best stand-up comedians in the last 50 years, said Smith. He had tons and tons of material.

Jeni was a fan and a regular on the Howard Stern Show also. Stern said he was a funny comedian and great guy. He will be missed.

Singer Britney Spears has reportedly tried to kill herself while in Promises Rehabilitation Clinic according to reports. When I read this on the newsline, I thought it was totally untrue. I have many verified sources stating that this is true.

Spears, who entered rehab for undisclosed reasons, reportedly wrote the number 666 on her head after screaming

I am the Antichrist!

throughout the clinic. I know this is a funny picture and probably not the pictures you expected to see, but we are a FUNNY CELEBRITY BLOG, not some gothic morbid death website.

We plan on some some re-enactments for ya ll.
Later that night she tried to kill herself. a source told News of the World magazine.

She attached a sheet to a light and tied it around her neck. Paramedics were called, but luckily she was unhurt.

I hope Britney didn t see my last post and take my advice in killing herself.

After the near-death event, Spears called her ex-husband Kevin Federline on the phone and was begging for him to father another child with her. Yeah more crazy babies. Does Britney suffer from post-pardom depression?

Is she on PCP? Is she really possessed? Or maybe she is the devil?

I know Muslims probably call her the White Devil anyways, since she is a goat whore.
Britney has realized what a rock Kevin has been to her, and how out of control she has acted recently. a source at the clinic told News of the World.

She just wants to be with him again, and thinks having another baby will seal their marriage. Oh two babies isn t enough? Where are the family values folks?

I d be afraid that she would eat the babies.
She has been talking to Kevin every night for hours on the phone, telling him she still loves him. She also just stated she was the Anti-Christ, so anything she says should be taken with a grain of salt.

Kevin Federline has two children with Spears, Sean Preston and Jayden James. He has been spotted several times visiting Spears in Promises Clinic.Regardless of his support, Spears still appears to be on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Possibly past a mental breakdown. She is still very vulnerable. Last Saturday she said she had the number
.

She was crying, and screaming,
a close friend explains to News of the World.
The clinic people just didn t know what to do. Then she started screaming, I m a fake!

I m a fake! It must have been really frightening. "When she tried to hang herself it was more a cry for help.

On February 16, 2007, Spears entered an off-shore drug rehabilitation facility in Antigua. She stayed, however, for less than twenty-four hours. The following night, Spears went to a haircutting studio in Tarzana, California and subsequently shaved her own hair off with clippers.

A few days later, on February 20, 2007, Britney admitted herself to a treatment facility in Malibu, California. A statement by her manager read, We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time. She left the facility briefly but returned on February 22, 2007.

The previous day Kevin Federline had requested an emergency hearing regarding the custody of his children with Spears but his lawyer announced that his client asked to cancel the court appearance. No further explanation was given.
Anna Nicole Smith was a terrible mother.

There I said it. I am sick of every single person defending this whore. Here s some proof on why I call her bad:
1) The nannies tried to get Anna Nicole to stop taking methadone while she was nursing.

Larry is said to have accused her of taking it while pregnant. Absolutely terrifying.
2) The baby was starved.

Underfeeding can lead to a weak immune system, diabetes and cardiovascular abnormalities. Anna wanted her baby sexy and would underfeed her every meal.
3) She used to sedate Dannielynn at night when she was crying.

They would give her drugs so she wouldn t cry and sleep through the night.
4) Anna Nicole Smith was drunk 12 days before her death at a Bahamas boat race. Her daughter was being taken care of by some random woman a witness said.

Anna Nicole is rotting in hell right now. She was a whore, a drug abuser, and a monster to her only child. Stop defending this piece of shit, stop making this high school dropout to be a genius.

The body of Anna Nicole Smith has finally been embalmed under a court order issued a day earlier.
Two embalmers finished the job around noon on Saturday, according to Joshua Perper, the Broward County medical examiner. They promised not to discuss, write about, photograph or draw the body.

They did an excellent job, and the body will be ready for viewing with no problem, Perper said. In other words, she s basically looking like she looked in life or very, very close to that.
Lawyers for photographer Larry Birkhead, who claims he is the father of Smith s baby girl, had fought to delay the embalming until an additional DNA sample was taken from her body on Thursday.

The body remains at the medical examiner s facility, awaiting developments in a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, courthouse, where Smith s estranged mother Virgie Arthur and companion Howard Stern will resume their battle on Tuesday over where the Playboy model should be buried. Arthur wants Smith taken to her home state of Texas; Stern wants to put her in a plot in the Bahamas next to her son. Perper said he was hopeful a decision would come soon.

I don t have any kind of reservations or fears that there will be any further deterioration of the body because of the delay in the decision of the judge, he said. It is my belief that the judge will make the decision as soon as the party will present their case.
The question of who will inherit Smith s estate was also thrown into confusion on Friday with the release of a 2001 will in which the former Playboy centrefold said her fortune should be held in trust for her son - who died last year.

“Hotel sources say that when Anna arrived a few days ago she was ‘out of it’ and slurring her words and she stayed that way during her visit. Also it seemed that Anna was REALLY dreading the court ordered blood test for her baby - and her reasons might be far more complicated that we assumed. Someone actually speculated that the baby might not have been fathered by either Larry Birkhead OR Howard Stern … this person implied that the baby could have been fathered by someone very close to Anna - someone like her own son Daniel.

It s a horrible thought, but remember, Anna lived in a different world than most of us.”
“Numerous sources at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel Casino in Hollywood, Florida, are now coming forward, claiming that the 39-year-old former Playboy Playmate and Guess model appeared to be having a drug overdose shortly before her death The scene was surreal at Memorial Regional Hospital, where Anna Nicole Smith was rushed via ambulance. According to a source, Smith was not completely covered when she arrived at the trauma/emergency entrance, but as she was wheeled in, ‘the white sheet was then put completely over her body.

’”
“A witness said: ‘It was absolute madness. Anna suddenly collapsed, and everyone started to majorly freak out. The paramedics got to the hotel in minutes, put a tube down her throat and tried to resuscitate her.

’ A member of staff said: ‘There was pandemonium. Howard was screaming for paramedics. They got to work right away.

’ The medics were seen pumping her chest and desperately trying to revive her as she was rushed on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance. One onlooker said: ‘It didn t look at all good for her. She seemed totally lifeless.

Her bodyguard flew past me like a bat out of hell.’”
“…There were six people, including Anna, staying with her in her two-bedroom suite at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida. The private nurse, who discovered Anna unresponsive, is the wife of Anna s bodyguard.

The bodyguard, who is also a paramedic, administered CPR to Anna until an ambulance arrived. Anna s companion, Howard K. Stern, was staying in the room as well.

The identities of two other individuals are, at this time, still unknown. … A source at the hotel tells TMZ that Anna Nicole was in Florida to purchase a 39 boat from a Miami Beach broker who had the boat in Ft. Lauderdale.

The boat was being prepared for purchase at the time of her death.”
Bobby Trendy, 27, best known as the decorator on Anna Nicole’s reality TV series, The Anna Nicole Smith Show, was with the 39-year-old former Playboy model in Florida yesterday, Feb. 7.

‘This is such devastating news,’ Bobby tells Life Style. ‘I was with her yesterday in Hollywood, Florida, and she seemed happy and upbeat. She was so happy to see me.

We hugged. She seemed like her old self, making silly jokes and laughing. I m so shocked I can t even tell you.

She was in a good mood — she looked fine, she seemed fine.’ … Bobby tells Life Style, ‘She had a nurse with her because she had fallen recently and hurt herself.’”
“Anna Nicole and her boyfriend, lawyer Howard K.

Stern, had checked into the hotel on Monday evening. Howard s sister Bonnie Stern tells In Touch that the couple had gone to Florida from their home in the Bahamas to pick up a boat. ‘She came down with a severe flu.

She felt awful,’ says Bonnie, who says that is why she had a nurse with her.”
Yup, apparently she collapsed here in Hollywood Florida at the Hard Rock, right on the casino floor. I know a Lieutenant on the Hollywood Police Dept who confirmed all this info.

They had the police block all intersections so that her ambulance could get to the hospital as quick as possible. I was told it appeared to be an O.D.

She died at Hollywood Memorial just a few minutes ago. Was it suicide? Or was she killed, knowing that all the money will go to her kid, and the father will get the money in trust.

I smell a Law and Order, Ripped from the headlines episode.
Yvonne De Carlo, the former star of The Munsters, has died at the age of 84.
Born Peggy Yvonne Middleton in Vancouver, Canada, De Carlo emerged as a screen star during the 1950s when she played Moses wife in Cecil B.

De Mille s 1956 biblical epic The Ten Commandments.
However she was best known for playing elegant vamp Lily Munster in The Munsters, which ran from 1964-1966.
De Carlo s first film came in 1941 with Harvard Here I Come!

, one of nearly 100 movies she starred in. Other notable roles included the femme fatale opposite Burt Lancaster in the 1949 film noir Criss-Cross.
In the 1970s and 1980s, De Carlo made a string of low-budget horror movies such as House of Shadows , Sorority House Murders and American Gothic.

De Carlo was married to the late stuntman Bob Morgan from 1955 to 1968 and the couple had two sons.
I will always remember Lily and her sexy outfits she wore on TV. As a kid she turned me onto that whole vampire-chick look.

Later on Elvira became my next gothic crush. You were my first undead love, Yvonne. RIP.

Saddam Hussein was hanged before dawn Saturday in Baghdad five days after he lost his appeal.
The former dictator, 69, had been sentenced to death for the deaths of 148 men and boys in the town of Dujail in 1982.
The execution was carried out at 6:10 a.

m. and was announced on the state-run television. Saddam was wearing black and carrying a Koran.

His death was witnessed by 14 Iraqi officials and took place at a former military intelligence building that is part of a U.S. base now.

President Bush was sleeping at his Crawford, Texas, ranch at the time of the execution, according to a White House spokesman, and was not awakened.
It was his best night s sleep in years.
Saddam was a scapegoat for Osama Bin Laden.

I wish Hussein wrote a tell all book and got it posted on the internet before his death. And in this book he told of all the scandals and corruption within the two Bush administrations. All the lies, corruption, payoffs, and senseless murder.

This book would ve been both legendary and necessary in this dictatorship term of George W.
James Brown, the self-styled Godfather of Soul , whose frenetic stage performances and revolutionary rhythms influenced generations of musicians from rock to rap, died yesterday after being diagnosed with severe pneumonia. He was 73.

He was dramatic to the end — dying on Christmas Day, said the Rev Jesse Jackson, a friend of Brown since 1955. Disco is James Brown, hip-hop is James Brown, rap is James Brown; you know what I m saying? You hear all the rappers, 90 per cent of their music is me, Brown said in an interview in 2003.

I m not going to sit here and glamourize his life. He had serious drug issues and women beating tendencies. His professional contributions do not outweigh his arrogant violent personal lifestyle.

It s Christmas, RIP James Brown.
