Tyson Gets Caught. Again.


Boxer Mike Tyson may have been able to do away from drug rehab but it looks like things are still not going good for him. He was just recently caught because he was suspected of driving under the influence and also of possession of cocaine.

Tyson may already be 40 years old but he is still planning of going back to the ring. But with his kind of attitude and with his kind of habits, it may quite be a long time before he an actually reclaim his glory.

A source close to the boxer says, “Mike can't shake the drugs. He checked himself into rehab because he says he's broke and his only means of supporting himself is boxing. He had to get clean. He admits he does cocaine and mushrooms (a hallucinogenic) and that he drinks too much. But after only nine days, he left the facility, saying he felt like he was in a cage. One of the first things he did was find a nightclub and party with friends!”

It’s Poitier’s Memoir For Oprah


Oprah has shared that she has chosen Sidney Poitier’s memoir, “The Measure Of A Man”, as her personal choice of a great book. This great book allows readers to take a look inside the actor’s childhood, faith, thoughts, and ideas on the various things that has come through his lifetime.

On this, Oprah says on her show, “He writes really candidly and passionately about his childhood, his family, relationships and his extraordinary career. It (the book) really is about what makes character, what makes you be who you are. He is the measure of one of the greatest men I think who has ever been on our planet.”

And it looks like Poitier has been quite happy with this wherein he shares, “I proudly accept this honor on behalf of the forces that brought it about: the love of my parents, the ever-present kindness of strangers, and the hidden mysteries of the universe and, of course, Oprah Winfrey.”

Skinny Does Not Equate To Models


Undersized and skinny models have been banned from Spain’s Fashion Week. And it looks like with the New York Fashion Week coming up, such a trend would be following suit.

Well, at least that is a good move. And according to the Council of Fashion Designers of America, they are going to take a stand on the weight debate that is going in and about the world of fashion and modeling. The committee of the fashion week would be working to make guidelines for both designers and models. Too skinny and you’re out.

Von Furstenberg, the CFDA president, does state, “The fashion industry is acknowledging this weight debate as a serious issue. Together, with the medical professionals, we are committing to promoting good health and helping these young girls.”

Are You Missing Steve Irwin?


If you are, then you are surely going to like the coming Steve Irwin action figure. Yes, this crocodile hunter has already been enshrined through action figures and this toy would be speaking with the crocodile hunter’s own voice.

Next month, the Steve Irwin action figure goes on sale.

Thanks to K&M International, the Steve Irwin action figure has become reality and it would be unveiled at the 2007 International Toy Fair. And the action figure is going to be just part of the Steve Irwin Wildlife Adventure Series which is made up of 39 pieces.

Three Days Of Crying For Oprah


For three days, Oprah cried her eyes out. This was what she shared in her magazine’s February issue. What caused her to cry was when one of her relatives told the story of her getting pregnant at age 14 and her losing the baby after birth to the National Enquirer.

The story leaked out back in 1990 at the Enquirer. However, it was with Parade magazine that she did really confirm the story. Oprah’s baby was prematurely born and a short while after its birth, it died. And it was Patricia Lloyed, her half-sister, who told the story for money. Oprah did mention that the story made her half-sister $19,000 and upon hearing of what her relative done, Oprah cried for three days because her ‘hidden shame’ was already told to the public.

Oprah has been sexually abused since she was a little child and she now says that her experiences have made her stronger and has quite helped her grow to what she is currently.

No More Ski Holiday For Prince Charles


Much as he would like to take that ski holiday, it looks like he has decided to better feed the wants of his government than feed his own longing for that kind of holiday. You see, Prince Charles just cancelled the skiing holiday which has been a tradition for this celebrity. A spokesperson from his office said that the prince decided to do such a thing so as to lessen and tone down his carbon footprint.

The carbon footprint is actually the measure of the greenhouses gases that would be created by the activities that Prince Charles makes. So by cancelling his skiing holiday trip, it would be also toning down the greenhouses gases of his activities.

It has been learned that some advocacy groups have been campaigning for the prince to rather use video or satellite links instead of flying to awards ceremonies or other occassions where he is needed to receive an award so as to reduce greenhouses gases and help out keep the environment clean and green.

Here’s What They Say During The Golden Globes


Here are some of the quotable quotes I have found on the internet. These were spoken during the Golden Globes grand gala event.

For the film ‘Dreamgirls’, Jennifer Hudson gets supporting actress trophy and she exclaims: “You do not know how much this does for my confidence, because of this it makes me feel like I'm part of a community and it makes me feel like I'm an actress.”

When Hugh Laurie took home the drama actor award for the program ‘House’, he shares: “I know everyone says they have a wonderful crew and certainly that can't be the case. We can't all be wonderful. Somebody somewhere is working with a crew of drunken thieves. But it's not me.”

Meryl Streep, undoubtedly, won the musical or comedy actress category. Upon receiving her trophy she shares: “I think I've worked with everybody in the room. Yes, I have.”
