not dead

Just as Brad and Angelina are by most accounts, still totally together and fine and moving on with their perfect lives, Johnny Depp is not dead either people (that’s a FAKE CNN page). But what a crazy weekend for gossip! While we’re not feeling some overwhelming sense of relief that Brad and Angie are still Brangelina, we’re happy to hear Johnny Depp is alive and well and probably swilling red wine in the south of France with his long-time love, Vanessa Paradis.  By the way, this stab at a celeb death hoax brought us back to when everyone tried to break our 13 year old hearts by saying Zach Morris was dead. Not buying it! Didn’t enough celebs die in ’09? Who needs a death hoax!

Happier Days?

Do you guys believe the rumors swirling today, that Brad and Angelina have decided to separate? Allegedly, they’ve signed separation papers with a divorce lawyer, and apparently the “documents” state they”ll share joint custody of the children — all 6 — but they’ll live with their mother full time.  Maybe this is why Brad was a no-show at the SAG awards last night, and why Angelina didn’t accompany Brad to the “Hope for Haiti Now” benefit? During Golden Globes weekend, Angelina and Brad (noticeably absent from the awards) spent their time in separate parts of the country, Brad with Maddox in New Orleans, and Angelina was in LA with her daughters.

Do you think Jennifer Aniston is popping champagne right now?

At this point, it’s all conjecture, and we’ve heard these rumors (though not so detailed) before. Besides, the couple was spotted together all of December. So consider us cynical! Stay tuned…

TMZ has reported that Casey Johnson, the Johnson &  Johnson heiress and fiancée of Tila Tequila, has died. Causes are still unknown. I first became familiar with the young party girl when I reported a story on her for W magazine … I got to know about the socialite who was making headlines (usually not for the right reasons) and cavorting around Hollywood with friends like Paris Hilton. The sweet dimple-faced girl had plenty of demons – she spent time in rehab, was charged with burglary and had tumultuous lesbian relationships that were frequent tabloid fodder. (An ex set her hair on fire!)

The 30-year-old leaves behind a daughter, Ava, who she adopted in 2007. Ava has been living with Casey’s mother, Sale, in New York.  Friends were often concerned about the heiress’s lifestyle – saying that she was living in a Grey Gardens-esque squalor in her Hollywood Hills home. Sadly, it’s another wasted life – one of privilege that took a path to destruction…it’s a good reminder to be thankful for what you have and take care of those who are a little lost.
