I kind of fell into following this story today. I noticed earlier that my post on John Mayergetting arrested was getting a bit of attention, so in true new Googling style I sent over a tweet to John asking him if he really did get arrested. I got a reply from one of my loyal followers that John had issued a challenge to TMZ. They find his mugshot and John will donate money to the animals.
John should have known that it would be found. I would be hard pressed to not be able to find anything that you wanted on the internet, which is really scary if you think about it. Well TMZ ended up finding it…
John was arrested on May 26, 2001 for driving with a suspended license in Atlanta. The case was dismissed exactly one month later on June 26. (That is so hot he was a rebel!)
The latest tweet from John actually showed that he was going to donate the $25 000 to two charities. As if I had any doubt that it would be found.
Zachary Levi played at the Lakers 3 on 3 tournament in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday. I was happy to see that Zac shaved off his beard, that means that they are definitely filming the third season of Chuck now. (Well I already knew that I just like to see proof that it is.) He looks so different. I even tweeted it to Zac on Twitter too that I thought he looked much cuter again without the facial hair.
Blake Lively had a busy Saturday as she attended the Super Saturday 12 Designer Garage Sale to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, held at Nova’s Ark Project in Water Mill, New York. The day included a sample sale-style shopping and a kids carnival, along with tasty treats and other activities for visitors of all ages.
I just love how anything that Blake chooses to wear it always works for her.
I think sometimes this world is lacking something in it’s everyday life. People are quick to look at gossip and silly things on TV, and not look around them. Yes, I write this ‘gossip’ blog and I’ve actually made a business of it now. And I know that I want to use my ‘popularity’ for something good. If you have noticed TEN Gossip has turned around to doing positive stories. Why do we need to always cut someone down? Celebrities are people too and they deserve our respect because they keep many of us employed and they give us entertainment so we wouldn’t die of boredom. So we as a site have committed to doing just that, respecting them.
Four months ago I met WillowRaine. And she showed me that yes, I could focus on the positive and really try and make it. (And I had backup from Rosy too.) Willow focused on the charity side of celebrities, and I really enjoyed getting to know celebrities like Jackson Rathbone, Jimmy Fallon and Reese Witherspoon for the good they have done for other people. I wish that people would be more open minded sometimes about the non-gossip things in the world.
Because of Willow’s amazing heart I helped by getting her on her feet with a website where she could talk about charties and her heart all she wanted. It’s been up for a couple of days and I am loving the site already. She’s taken on some hard issues already like Whale Wars on Animal Planet and why you should stop paying for that darn channel and just send the money to help the whales already and her recent post on Apathy and how it can be deadly really touched my heart.
So open your heart and mind, and realize you don’t have to change anything what you are doing, but if it does make you want to make a change then go for it. Check out WillowRaine’s new site at We Should All Care. Like Willow always says to me, “If I only make a difference to ONE person, if I ONLY change ONE person’s mentality, even on some minute scale, then I feel as if I have accomplished something amazing.”
You all have been reading my posts on Spencer Bell, and I’ve been pushing for you guys to get to know him, and I realized that I have done very little to help educate you on the disease that took him from this world. Adrenal Cancer.
I took the excerpts from UMCCC: Adrenal cancer is both extremely rare and extremely deadly. This is why research is so important.
About 200 Americans are diagnosed with the disease each year with nearly no chance of survival at five years for those diagnosed with advanced disease.
Definition
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is rare, but very deadly. About 600 new cases are diagnosed each year in the United States, or about one to two cases per million people. Learn more about adrenal cancer on the University of Michigan Health System’s Healthwise Knowledgebase.
Diagnosis / Treatment
Adrenal Cancer is diagnosed and treated in the Multidisciplinary Adrenal Cancer Clinic. Research into the causes of this cancer, and how to best treat it, is pursued through the Endocrine Oncology Program.
Now,maybe you see why research for this cause is so important, so desperately needed, but it doesn’t come cheap, or easy.
That’s where WE all come in. We pitch in and do our part.
We won’t find a cure tomorrow, but with each donation, we get a millisecond closer to it.
You can find this and so many more videos, pictures, and memories of Spencer Bell if you click on the link to his page, or the banner at the top of this one.
We <3 you Spencer Bell. So help me, we WILL make a difference in this fight, if I have to shout it from every rooftop.
I know that some of you may think, that we are late in writing a more in depth post about Michael Jackson, but I beg to differ. I know that the family, friends, and fans around the world still have not had ample time to mourn, but I did wish to show them a high degree of respect, and allow them a reprieve from the constant coverage, if only on this site, if only by my hand.
Michael Joseph Jackson was born August 29,1958, and it was almost as if he were destined to sing, because I have never seen another person with such a fierce purpose, or calling, to be quite honest.
His career began in 1968, when he was a boy of ten years old, and it lasted damn near FOUR DECADES. Wrap your mind around that.
In his time as an entertainer, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame not once, but twice, which is a rare feat indeed. His achievements included, but were definitely not limited to multiple Guinness World Records, such as “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time”, thirteen Grammy Awards, thirteen number one singles, and the sale of over 750 million records. More importantly,and definitely most admirably to me, he was a notable philanthropist, donating millions of dollars to the thirty nine charities he supported. Some of which are listed here:
* AIDS Project Los Angeles
* American Cancer Society
* Big Brothers Big Sisters
* Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs of America
* Childhelp USA
* Children’s Defense Fund
* Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation
* End Hunger Network
* Great Ormond Street Hospital
* Jane Goodall Institute
* Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
* Make-A-Wish Foundation
* Prince’s Trust
* Ronald McDonald House Charities
* Starlight Children’s Foundation
* Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation
* TJ Martell Foundation
* United Negro College Fund
plus he founded, and raised more through his own Heal the World Foundation Which you can visit HERE .
It breaks my heart, to know that a man has done so much good in his life, has made such an impact on so many people, both personally and professionally, yet the only thing people want to discuss are his faults, his accused flaws.
Whatever transgressions he may have made while on this Earth, nobody has to take judgment for them but him, and we should not be his judge and jury. We haven’t the right.
Like one of my dear friends,Whit, told me the other day. Most of her childhood memories, include some tie to Michael Jackson and his music. I feel it is that way for many, and I, for one, choose to remember the contributions he made to this world.
Michael Jackson was a performer, an artist, and a legend, but beneath all of that, he was just a man.
