Gore Vidal dead at 86 from pneumonia
Gore Vidal that publicly gay author, writer, playwright and smart ass has died at 86. He traded barbs with the best of the best from the old conservative TV days of Buckley and the rest. Many don’t know him because he was from the old school but a part of the avant garde nonetheless. He will be known as an in-law of Jackie Kennedy I mean relative by marriage of mother they are not blood relatives.
Gore is also related to Al Gore some kinda way too. Gore Vidal was Jewish and Al Gore is also part Jewish and both were from political junkies who made it in politics but never to the presidency. Speaking of president Gore did know JFK and once famously noted that Jack had a “great ass.” He would notice that, oh boy.
Anyway it bon voyage to Gore Vidal who was one of the most famous gay men in American history.

Katie and Kruz Kall it Kwits

In the latest episode of divorce celebrity style: Katie Holmes who returned to the small screen in The Kennedys and Tom Cruise who is starring in a broadway show about metal heads are calling it quits after a lavish wedding and a daughter named Suri.
The divorce episode of these two where millions are involved is probably pretty much settled if they had a prenuptial agreement.
Heloise recently wrote a review of the book “Inside Scientology” where Tom, and by default Katie loomed large on that creepy scene. I am sure Katie won’t need to go begging with her split with Tom. Rumors of Tom gayness and cultness probably doomed this marriage before the lavish Italian nupitals. What a waste.

Cheyenne Woods moving out of Tiger’s shadow
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/golf-devil-ball-golf/cheyenne-woods-tiger-niece-qualifies-u-women-open-235616310.html
Beautiful biracial and talented girl whom I predict will be on the cover of People Magazine as one of the most beautiful people in the world top 50. Cheyenne has turned pro this year and qualifies for the US Women’s Open. She looks like Tiger because their dads are brothers. Both are biracial both are prolific golfers. Good luck Cheyenne.

Vidal Sasson dead at 84
Damn I remember the day that he (gay and Jewish–he was left in a Jewish orphanage during the depression) unveiled his style. Vidal single-handedly changed the way that women cut and wore their hair. He influenced generations since the 1980s with his signature hair cuts and designs on the hair.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Celebrity hairstylist Vidal Sassoon, whose 1960s wash-and-wear cuts freed women from endless teasing and hairspray, has died. He was 84.
Los Angeles police spokesman Kevin Maiberger says officers went to Sassoon’s home Wednesday morning and determined he was dead of natural causes. Sassoon’s family was present.
The London-born Sassoon’s creative, geometric cuts required little styling. They were an integral part of the look of Mary Quant, the superstar British fashion designer who popularized the miniskirt.

Where is Gavin Smith? Hollywood Exec missing
The mystery of what happened to Hollywood executive Gavin Smith began last week, when Smith was staying at a friend’s house and drove off, without a word, in his black Mercedes around 10 p.m. and never came back.
Smith, 57, was reported missing by his wife on Wednesday morning when he failed to pick up his son to take him to school and then did not call into work or his family. Smith’s wife, children, and sister told ABC News that the former UCLA basketball star and 20th Century Fox movie executive would never abandon his family.

Rashida Jones: Who Do You Think You Are?
- Publicity photo of Peggy Lipton from the television program The Mod Squad. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Peggy is mom to Rashida and she is a Jew therefore Rashida is officially a Jew. Who she’s dating was not in the show but we know that man is also Jewish SETH MYERS. So that makes sense she is sticking to her own kind. Of course their kids would be white/Jewish if they were to have any or get married.
This Friday Rashida was highlighted on the show Who Do You Think You Are? There were not too forthcoming about showing photos of the family when she was young. One thing I learned and was surprised about: Peggy Lipton is Jewish. She fooled me. But that goes without saying because in her day which was decades ago I did not focus on racial identity outside of my family. And even if I did Peggy just does not look Jewish.
Her family was from a country bordering on Russia. Some of her family was killed when the Nazi rounded up the town they were from and took them to the forest and shot them all and they were put in large open graves. I’ve watched a movie or two about such an event but I am not sure if this was their particular village or not.
Rashida looks just like her mother which is very unusual considering her dad Quincy Jones just looks like your average black man with little white admixture.

Adam Yauch of the Beastie boys dead at 47
Adam Yauch, who performed under the stage name MCA, is dead, according to reports from Global Grind and TMZ.
MCA’s publicist just released a statement to TMZ, writing: “It is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch … passed away in his native New York City this morning after a near-three-year battle with cancer. He was 47 years old.”
In July 2009, the Beastie Boys member announced that he would be receiving treatment for a cancerous tumor in his salivary gland, and that, as a result, the group would cancel some future shows and push back the release of a new album.

Cool, Calm and Collected advice to Obama
You can be tough as well as cool, calm and collected as Heloise is when confronted with crazy people. Why just the other day Heloise proved to be just that, i.e., cool not crazy. I was shopping when a big black woman tried to squeeze by my shopping cart at Wal Mart where I was standing (to the right) and waiting for my daughter to pay for her items.
She said “excuse me.” I said “I ain’t moving.” She got ugly and started to push past me but realized she was too fat. She said “I said EXCUSE me.” Well the only time that’s appropriate is if we both got to the same spot at the same time. This was clearly not the case…I was there first and not in the way of traffic. I think the woman with her squeezed by just before. I just ignored her.
Yes, I stood my ground and said walking is like driving you should stay to your right. She got really mad. That’s how you can tell you’re right.
She said some crap I could not hear because I don’t hear too well anymore. My daughter said she said something like she would sweep the floor up with me. But I no hear her and that’s a good thing. That helped me to remain cool and carry on.
Then another day I was shopping wearing baggy unpressed shorts and an unpressed red T shirt with a black sun visor that said “Chicago” on it and a bright blue fanny pack and my big floppy bike riding sandals.
This old white woman asked a couple of times, I didn’t hear her and was not listening “do you work here?” Cool as you could be I gave her a good look at my whole outfit and said “do I look like I work HERE?” She said oh I am so sorry. What she saw was my BROWN skin! Liar.
Advice to Obama you too can remain cool, calm and collected if you act like you did not hear half of what people say about you.
