Okay, I know I’ve always been taught to not say anything at all if I have nothing nice to say. But I just could NOT let this go by without commenting. It was really nice of Lindsay to send this letter to Robert Altman’s family, but uhm … how do I put this? LOL. She definitely should have let someone else read this before sending it off. There’s a bunch of misspelled words, including ones that don’t even exist. What the hell is “hafta?” Read this *clears throat* poorly written “letter” for yourselves…

I would like to send my condolences out to Catherine Altman, Robert Altmans wife, as well as all of his immediate family, close friends, co-workers, and all of his inner circle. I feel as if I’ve just had the wind knocked out of me and my heart aches. If not only my heart but the heart of Mr. Altman’s wife and family and many fellow actors/artists that admire him for his work and love him for making people laugh whenever and however he could..

Robert altman made dreams possible for many independent aspiring filmmakers, as well as creating roles for countless actors. I am lucky enough to of been able to work with Robert Altman amongst the other greats on a film that I can genuinely say created a turning point in my career. I learned so much from Altman and he was the closest thing to my father and grandfather that I really do believe I’ve had in several years. The point is, he made a difference. He left us with a legend that all of us have the ability to do.

So every day when you wake up. Look in the mirror and thank god for every second you have and cherish all moments. The fighting, the anger, the drama is tedious. Please just take each moment day by day and consider yourself lucky to breathe and feel at all and smile. Be thankful. Life comes once, doesn’t ‘keep coming back’ and we all take such advantage of what we have. When we shouldn’t….. ‘

Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourselves’ (12st book) -everytime there’s a triumph in the world a million souls hafta be trampled on.-altman Its true. But treasure each triumph as they come. If I can do anything for those who are in a very hard time right now, as I’m one of them with hearing this news, please take advantage of the fact that I’m just a phone call away.

God Bless, peace and love always.

Thank You,
BE ADEQUITE

Call it Diddy’s pink party. The mogul celebrated the impending arrival of his twin girls with a lavish “Little Miss Diddys’ Pretty in Pink” baby shower for longtime girlfriend Kim Porter in New York City on Sunday. Guests including rapper LL Cool J and socialite Denise Rich feasted on shrimp, pink cocktails, specially made pink M&Ms and Perrier Jouet champagne in pink floral bottles. There were also gifts galore – a pink and white Ga Ga Designs chandelier from Denzel Washington, a custom-made changing table from Jay-Z and two cream-colored cribs from LL Cool J.

“This is the greatest party I’ve ever had,” Diddy, wearing a cotton-candy-pink button-down shirt, told the crowd. “I’m so excited to have girls, but I know I’m in trouble now!” Diddy told the crowd how he found out Porter, with whom he has a son, Christian, 8, was expecting. “It wasn’t something that was planned,” he said. “Kim and I were sitting down at Nobu and she had told me she was pregnant and I was happy. And she was like, ‘That’s not it.’ “And I was like, ‘What else could you possibly tell me?’ And then she said she was having twins, and I was like, ‘Get outta here!’ … Then she told me we were having two girls. My life just started changing right at that moment. God has truly blessed me to the fullest.”

Porter, who is due in the middle of December, teared up when Diddy professed his love for her in front of their friends and family. “I just thank God that I have a woman and a friend who has been down with me with my faults and my flaws and my B.S. and all that stuff,” he said. “She’s my best friend. I love her with all my heart.”

Having girls is going to bring out the rapper’s softer side, said Porter, who last week wrapped a new show for MyNetworkTV called Wicked Wicked Games, with Tatum O’Neal. “I see the way he’s been acting,” she told PEOPLE.com. “He said, ‘I can’t wait for them to fall asleep on my chest.’ He’s going to be very hands on. I don’t think he’s going to be able to say no to them.”

Mary J Blige is looking really good in these promo pics for her Greatest Hits album, Reflections (A Retrospective) that is slated for a December 12th, 2006 release! Check them out in HQ (only at gossiponthis.com) below!

 

Aww, Brit, what’s wrong? Can’t take a joke??? Britney Spears was apparantly upset by a skit that was directed towards her soon-to-be ex-husband Kevin Federline last night at the 2006 American Music Awards. Ironically, right after the little skit, she was slated to present the award for Favorite Soul/R&B Female Artist (won by Mary J Blige) and kept her composure (even though she was pretty hot at the situation). In the skit, AMA host Jimmy Kimmel packed a fake K-Fed into a box and threw him into the ocean, calling the wannabe hip-hop artist “the world’s first ever no-hit wonder.” I thought it was pretty funny, LOL. Continue reading below…

“Britney was blindsided and upset,” says a source familiar with the situation. “Some (of Spears’s associates) were with her, and they were pissed. They asked that it not be shown on the (West Coast) feed.” But, the skit was indeed broadcast on the West Coast. A rep at Jive Records did not return calls. Federline’s rep declined to comment. Jimmy Kimmel said in a statement released Wednesday: “I knew they wouldn’t mind because I know they both have great senses of humor.” Spears filed for divorce from Federline earlier this month after two years of marriage. Both Spears and Federline have asked for sole custody of their two sons, Sean Preston, 1, and Jayden James.

Okay, you know those “gyroscope” things … those series of cirlces that rotate around each other, and the center spins around, and around, and around, and around, and around? David Blaine – a professional magician and stuntman, has been doing crazy things since 1999, like, burying himself alive, being frozen, and drowning himself alive! This latest stunt involves the gyroscope mechanism mentioned above. Yesterday, Mr. Blaine strapped himself inside of this thing, and he has 2 days to free himself … while it spins the ENTIRE TIME at about 8 revolutions per minute! If he’s successful, he will lead 500 children from the Salvation Army on a $500 shopping spree sponsored by Target. Blaine said the stunt was particularly important since The Salvation Army had provided him with clothing while he was growing up. “This challenge is close to my heart,” Blaine said. For more information on this challenge, and all of his past challenges, check out his Wikipedia entry Here.

Will Smith, along with his wife, Jada Pinket Smith, refuses to send his two children to school to get a public education, claiming the system limits their education. Smith insists he didn’t learn his most valuable lessons in school and claims there are no limits to what he can teach Jaden, eight; Willo, six; and his 14-year-old son Trey, from his marriage to Sheree Smith.

He says, “The date of the Boston Tea Party does not matter. I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.”

In my opinion, public schooling is the best education out there. You’re put around people of all different races, religions, opinions, etc., and it prepares you for the real world. When you’re home-schooled, you only see what happens in your own home, and when you’re thrust into the real world when you come of age, you’re completely lost. You should think 2wice about only home-schooling your kids, Will.

Looks like Paris Hilton feels the same way we do about her music. Pop culture’s favorite target, Paris Hilton, was so drunk at a concert .. that when she took the stage to lipsynch a couple of her songs, she puked .. right on the stage!

Paris Hilton vomited onstage during a performance in Las Vegas. The hotel heiress was extremely drunk as she took to the stage to “lip sync” two songs, according to Joshua Radin. Radin, who was in Vegas to see rapper Jay-Z perform, wrote on his MySpace webpage: “Paris, who had been swilling straight vodka from a Grey Goose bottle for hours, gets up on stage after Jay Z has finished, has the people in charge throw her ‘record’ on the house stereo for her to lip sync two of her songs.

“She gets up on the stage, pukes and leaves. I find the music business charming.” Radin also says Paris snubbed him even though they were sitting next to each other and kept staring at her reflection in a compact mirror all night. He added: “Paris was sitting next to me the whole night. Seriously, next to me, like our legs were touching for a good 5 hours.

“Now don’t get the wrong idea. But she never once said hello, nor even looked in my direction. Five hours. And it was unreal to watch. She must have pulled a compact out of her bag every 6 minutes to stare at herself and pose while Jay-Z was performing 18 inches from us.”

I have a pretty good sense of humor, and I understand that funny is funny … and a joke is a joke. But what went down with this Michael “Kramer” Richards situation was NOT funny … at all! If you guys don’t know, Michael Richards is best known as “Kramer” from the series Seinfeld. He was doing some stand-up comedy at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, and went off on a racial tirade yelling “nigger” several times, and it ALL was caught on tape. According to various news sources, this is what happened:

“My understanding is that there was a group of people that were excited Michael Richards had come on stage, and were talking about how great he was as Kramer,” explained Laugh Factory’s Director of Public Relations and Marketing, Jackie Plaza, during an exclusive Vibe.com interview. “Mr. Richards misinterpreted what they said as heckling, and went off on a racial tirade.”

“Fifty years ago we’d have you upside down with a fucking fork up your ass,” Richards yelled as the cameras started rolling. “You can talk, you can talk, you’re brave now motherfucker! Throw his ass out. He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! A nigger, look, there’s a nigger!” One of the men who was the object of Richard’s racial insults was outraged, shouting back “That’s un-fucking called for, ain’t necessary.”

Sounds pretty damn racist to me … you be the judge. There’s a whole lot more that was said, so click below to watch the infamous video.
