With the sudden shocking death of Whitney Houston Saturday, people must be in a morbid frame of mind, because search engines are buzzing with the inquiry “Is Macaulay Culkin dead?” Recent pictures of the actor have shown him looking thinner – some have said gaunt – than usual, with scraggly blonde hair, and the beginnings of a beard. (Some of these pictures appeared on Entertainment Tonight, prompting an immediate statement by Culkin’s rep, reprinted in its entirety at the end of this article.)

But Culkin is playing a veteran in an upcoming movie – isn’t he just getting into character? Why are people so insistent about these whisper campaigns every time a star appears looking less than immaculate? And wait – is he really DEAD?

Rest easy, Home Alone and Party Monster fans – as far as we know, Macaulay is just fine. The worst that has happened to him is that he’s the victim of another Twitter RIP drive-by. If anything changes, you’ll be the first to know as a citizen of the internet. In the meantime, Rest in Peace, Whitney Houston. We’ll miss your enormous talent. You left us too soon.

Culkin’s rep tells Us Weekly, “Macaulay Culkin is in perfectly good health. For Entertainment Tonight or any other media to speculate otherwise is thoughtless, irresponsible and destructive.”

The GOP has worked overtime in the last two years to stygmy any progress to be made by the Obama administration, even at great expense to both the economy and the growth (restoration and development) thereof. Of course, the reasoning behind this is simple enough – anything they can do to discredit the “First Black President of the United States of America” would be a plus, but more important is that they unseat the Democratic Party in the next presidential elections.

It hurts when celebrities and public figures use thier popularity the wrong way – big names such as Matt Damon and Donald Trump whom one would expect to know better tend to speak with minimal information. The Donald’s attacks on Barack Obama’s viability as president was uncalled for, especially considering that the United States is essentially and literally a nation of immigrants. Matt Damon, whom I love on the other hand, is obviously speaking out of impatience in his desire to see changes made. True, change has been slow and The President does seem to take his time on some issues, but there is no denying the fact that the change experienced in the American economy has both been real and measurable over the past four years. Well, at least, Jason Bourne clearly has a passion for his country -  wonder what the real estate mogul really has to show for… anything, that is, besides a woeful credit score.

It’s the hypocrisy of democracy, simply enough. It has little to do with the flight of the American people, but more to do with how long either party can hold on to the Oval Office and influence policy to please other wealthy people and make themselves richer! Only America can wake up and make matters right; too bad history shows that the majority is usually wrong, while an informed minority is informed enough to make the right choices. Too bad history shows that the ignorant majority tends to win the vote while the informed minority is silenced by overwhelming unpopularity. Way to change the world, America.

If you haven’t caught on yet, pregnancy is the new ‘black’! Indeed, it seems fashionable to be a parent-in-waiting. Such a drive to procreate is evident in the male of the species with celebrities across the board opting for a more domestic life-style. Gone of the days of sex, drugs and rock and roll. To be a ‘family man’ is the done thing. A high profile example is David Beckham, who recently announced that Victoria is pregnant with the couple’s fourth child. Famous people such as Kate Hudson, Selma Blair, Beyonce, Pink and Sienna Miller are all in the process of enlarging the world’s population. But why? What has created this strange phenomenon?

A short time ago it was considered quite dowdy to be hobbling around with a baby on your hip. Indeed, the celebrities kept their offspring out of the public eye as much as possible. The notion of baby spew and smelly nappies certainly did not run alongside the cool, sheik, and adult world of celebrity: babies were ‘out’, yesterday’s news. Now babies are ‘in’. Was it Paris Hilton’s boggled-eyed dog that got them all returning to the old way of nature? Perhaps they deemed that if you’re going to be seen cuddling something, it might as well be meaningful. Who knows? 

Adoption fever among celebrities appears to have been forerunner to the small dog phase. Children, for a while at least, appeared to be able to be bought and sold according to the whim of the celebrity in question. Adoption became a little less glamorous when the public began to notice the indulgence. What next? Would they start walking down the street with pink stilettos and a small child’s face beaming out of the crack in the carrier’s matching handbag? ‘Isn’t she delightful? I bought her in China.’

Perhaps celebrities have come around to the notion that the female body can be just as attractive and perhaps a little more womanly when given over to the results of fertility. So, as adoption is no longer the hot thing to do, much better to do it naturally (especially after the stir that Madonna created). Sexy women with baby bumps are parading in gorgeous maternity clothes. Draped in fabric that emphasises the bump rather than hides it, celebrities are savouring the delights of pregnancy.

Whatever the reason for the increasing fondness of the family way, it does have the positive spin off that “real” women can catch a glimpse of these usually svelte stars with, shall we say without malice intended, a touch of fat around their gills. 

Dreams are the purest form of art. Dreaming is an expression of our subconscious mind free from social constraint or censor. These elaborate and often surreal nocturnal constructs of our mind, which can seem as real as any event in conscious reality, are generated solely for an audience of one, seeking neither acclaim or monetary reward. Therefore, the most legitimate artistic pursuit a human can take part in is dreaming.

Just something to think about tonight as you doze off. 

Many fashion magazines show pictures of our favorite celebrities looking thin and in perfect shape. What many young girls don’t understand is these pictures are airbrushed and that these celebrities do not actually look like that.

Because of young girls seeing celebrities that they love looking perfect and beautiful they strive to look like them and lead themselves to a life time of problems. When the girls see beautiful celebrities look perfect they begin to feel very insecure about their own bodies and begin life threatening diets that cause them to become ill trying to look like them.

In the last few years with the increase in access to website this has made it easier to find celebrities diets but there is no way to be sure that it is the true diet that celebrity uses and this can lead to very harmful diets that can have permanent affects on the persons health. Not only can this lead to physical health complications but also psychological problems like depression and anxiety.

If magazines companies would stop producing airbrushed photos in there books and on there websites young girls everywhere would see that the celebrities that they love so much don’t always look perfect this would increase girls self confidence and help reduce eating disorders.

Link to next movie

The producers of pirates of the carribean have decided to make another movie.  I haves not heard a name or location of the movie yet.  It will be starring Johnny depp from all the other movies.  He is also called captain jack sparrow.  If you have not seen any of the other movies I suggest that you do.  They are intrestiong and entertaining.  In my opinion they are the best series Of movies out.  If you dident already know it is set in the medevial times.  Also they are pirates I case you dident get that from the title.

Is Khloe Kardashian not Robert Kardashian’s daughter?  I had to go in and read for myself.  Wow, now it makes you wonder as it seems to have been spoken from the horses mouth.  It sounds like Robert told both his newer wives about it, that he is in fact not the father.

Good lord, why would these women lie?  They’ve been told by the father himself, so you know it might be true.

Khloe is really pissed that they have spoken up about this.  She is kind of saying that it isn’t true.

Kris Jenner is saying it isn’t true.  But you know, who can say for sure.

As I was reading, it did say that she had an affair with a younger man after her girls were born.  So it makes you wonder.

Is Kris Jenner just trying to save face to protect her empire?  Celebrities will do a lot to not confess something.  They want what little privacy they have left to remain private.  Yes, she says it was after.  She says she was there during the pregnancy and gave birth to her and that it is Robert’s daughter.

But you know, a woman can also try to take things to their grave.  Maybe there is truth to what Robert said to his other wives.  Maybe he knows about stuff that nobody else knows about.

I would have laughed and shrugged it off if it had been some stranger spreading the rumor, but it isn’t.  It’s the newer wives of her father.  Whose to say that perhaps Robert knew that she was having an affair much longer than she said she did.

Sometimes can have affairs for years before someone found out.  Maybe he found out long before the pregnancy.  You know it could be the younger guys daughter.  Maybe Khloe is really a half sister to Kourtney and Kim and Kylie and Kendall.

The only one who knows for sure is Kris.  And she isn’t telling the truth.  Why would Robert spread a rumor if it wasn’t true?  Maybe there were signs that told him that he wasn’t the father.

She could have been having an affair with the guy before the pregnancy and privately known that the daughter was his.  Women do this and try to cover it up and pretend that Robert was the father.  It makes you begin to wonder about their marriage.  They did break up and divorce.  I imagine it must have been the affair among other things that did it.  I mean, she has discussed the affair and confessed to it, but she seems to not being truthful about the timing and the seed that has resulted from it.

Now, we begin to think that Kris is a liar.  We have all heard that she has been called by many people to be pimping out her daughters.  Turning them into celebrity sluts.  And it seems that her younger daughters are on their way to the same path.

Sure, she probably is a good mother to her children, but when you have an affair and cheat on your husband, that suddenly turns you into a bad mother in people’s eyes.  People think, “Oh she cheated, what a terrible mother.”

But everyone is human too and does have faults.  These celebrities just have to watch out when they do things they shouldn’t, because they are in the limelight and people lose respect for them.

Well, who should be on the news today but our favorite young actress, Dakota Fanning.  My children grew up with her.  She began with I am Sam, Cat in the Hat and some other childhood characters.  She was a sweet little girl with a major talent for acting.  In War of the Worlds, she was still considered young.

Then she slowly started to grow up.  This year she turns eighteen, but it has been within the last year that she has blossomed from childhood star to young adult and pushing maturity.  Onto more mature and grown up roles for her now.

Enter, her sister, Elle, who is still young, but also a little grown up in a sense.  She’s following in her footsteps, borrowing her outfits and getting photographed in Dakota’s stuff.  Growl,  the younger sister stole my stuff.

And suddenly we see her in a provocative perfume add for Marc Jacobs.  Yes, she is definitely grown up and beginning to be a little sultry. 

Today we have seen the cover of the February issue of Cosmopolitan.  People are torn and don’t think she should be gracing her presence at such a grown up magazine.  She’s not even eighteen yet.  Should she be appearing next to heated words of sex and passion?  She is still so young.  It would be different if she were say twenty.  Yet, she probably isn’t even out of high school yet, technically.

People are so torn.  I would also say, it should be okay.  She’s eighteen and just wants to push the envelope a little bit.  Why should people worry about Dakota exposing her mature self on an adult magazine?  She’s practically an adult.

What they should worry about more than about Dakota is these crazy mothers pushing their little daughters to enter these pageants and make them look so grown up.  Come on!  They are probably only four or five.  They are clearly not adults.  You can clearly see some of these mothers really want to push their children into something that maybe they would rather not do. 

And then there is also the controversial photo shoot of young models looking provocative in a grown up photo shoot.  Isn’t that controversial?  Yet, the mother of the little models said it was just in play.  Role playing and just playing dress up for a photo shoot.  We are brought back to Brooke Shields when she was younger.  She had had her controversial photo shoot at a tender age.  Yet, it hasn’t hurt her image.

And then we’ve got the Gosselin children who got put on national tv and their lives displayed upon millions.  Did they have a say in it?  I bet not.  They must be relieved that they are going to be out of the limelight now.

There are lots of controversial things that go on.  What do we do but either choose to okay it or say it shouldn’t be done.  We walk a fine line.  What’s okay and what is not.  But we’re always pushing the boundaries and try to see what we can get away with.

So let her be on the cover.  It shouldn’t really matter, as long as she knows she’s a good girl and doesn’t go tarnishing her image like someone else, should I dare say it?  Li Lo Jailbait.

Check out my blogs where I am participating in NaBloPoMo all this month.  http://jennyjofaypaperdolls.blogspot.com/  http://mommiedearest101.blogspot.com/  http://jenniferjofaypaperdolls.net/blog/ 

My first Celebrity let the public know most of their Souvenirs were

From Broken Relationships/ Relationship Blues Bluer than Blue…

The Aquarius in me just had to come to the Rescue…So I presented

My Case: If I were your Best Friend I’d be Second 2 God

I put my Case in writing as an Irresistibly Shy Eloquent Poem…

My Celebrity responded! Yes, Aquarius HAD IT ALL WORKED OUT!

Aquarius I am the Perfect Universal Relationship Expert…

There was Dear Abbie then came Dear Zappy…

I am the Solution to all things except a cure for a Motor Mouth ouch

My 1st Celebrity immediately visited my Aquarius Pond

I was so “Happy!” I was so “Pleased!” I saw a pole baited Hook

Stuffed with Mom and Dad? I swam back to the bottom of my

Deep Blue Sea Pond! I swam back up to the top one more time making

Sure my eyes wasn’t playing tricks on me…I’m like you’re Twenty-8

Or Thirty years Grown you need your parent’s APPROVAL…

RED FLAG!!! I didn’t bite! So my Celebrity went searching looking

For someone the Mom and Dad would APPROVE of and “Found!!!

Dumped me became Un-reachable so I stopped Reaching: ‘The End”

My 2nd Celebrity

Well established has been a celebrity since early childhood…

Famous Rich nevertheless sometimes missing that ordinary Lifestyle

Zappy to the Rescue…Zappy the: Ordinary Girl/Friendship Queen

I Aquarius presented my Case! My 2nd Celebrity presented their Case

To me: I can only accept you as my Best Kept Secret: Second 2 None

So I introduced my 2nd Celebrity to a new word: Compromise…Lets

I’ll be your best kept secret for one year if then we’re better than best

You must personally come again and Crown me Official Best Friend

The only response I received was…You got a DEAL with three…!!!

As I previously stated I’m Aquarius so I have everything worked out…

My 2nd Celebrity need do nothing except…Enjoy our new Friendship

Better still enjoy my Unfathomable insights oh how different I am

I am a Paradox Princess a Novice Diva an Earth Angel…so crazy so fun

Irresistible shy a Real Sweetie not Religious not self-Righteously prone

Initially I frowned on being a secret before I understood Hollywood

My 2nd Celebrity gave me two new definitions for the word Secret

Confidence (adj.) Mystery (n) instead of covert, dishonest or BAD

My Best Kept Secret, isn’t it amazing how life and situations change

Nevertheless my Famous Rich 2nd Celebrity remembered their Roots

Remembered where they came from but it was I Zappy who prompted

My 2nd Celebrity discernment the realization that if all Famous Rich

Celebrities are Un-reachable out of reach to a Middle American

Wouldn’t that be somewhat un-successful and pompous?    

In reality the only secret was the one secret Abbie never knew but

Zappy the Relationship Expert always know, when a person likes you

It has nothing to do with you it is always an attraction and need with-

In the other person for you, and I proved this fact. A few months before

My 2nd Celebrity was due to come too me I intentionally gained weight

And dressed so Country…country would have blushed…

But My 2nd Celebrity didn’t fall for it! So now I reveal where my Phrase

If you don’t know me by now derived from…

My 2nd Celebrity smiled Deep and said to me: Don’t you know I know

You by now!!! Don’t be afraid of me! You ran too me, now you are afraid

And, you now want me to run from you, not a chance in hell Zappy…

My 2nd Celebrity Personally “Crowned me late 2002 as Official Best Friend

Thereafter Heaven called my Best Friend who proved to me there can be

A human Angel on earth I guess Heaven was jealous because Heaven was

Missing an Angel my Angel, time does not heal or fill the void, time only

Matures a Soul so that Soul within, puts the Soul back to a workable state.

I don’t watch a lot of TV last year I was flipping through channels an up-

Coming Celebrity caught my Attention with talented humor; continued to

Keep my attention I was impressed, later I found out this person has an

Acting Career, a very talented singing voice, and other professional credits

I ascertained there maybe a way to communicate with this young person as

A Teacher Mama! So I did! We had some computer fun, yet this

Celebrity remained un-reachable like they were the First Lady of the United

States of America and we know after My 2nd Celebrity experience these

Want to be Un-reachable Pedestals’ shouldn’t be Reached…the End

I have one regret gossip asserts this person is having marital problems

I’ve been hearing some of the advice and support I totally disagree with

If this person had been reachable, life would have given me

Great pleasure to offer unconventional yet much better workable advice

Anyway…back from Hollywood to the Country where I belong where I am

A Success, where reachable is just simply common sense and normal.
