Michael Jackson is dead. The undisputed “King of Pop” died just minutes ago at the UCLA medical center after being rushed there earlier today under cardiac arrest.
His name and music will live on in history as he inevitably will go down as one of the greatest musicians of all time.
The Obamas now have a dog living in the White House. His name is “Bo” and he’s a 6-month old Portuguese water dog. I’m not really too interested in the dog itself but I am interested in hearing about if it chews any antique woodwork in the White House. Additionally I kind of have to wonder how the dog feels. It’s funny because the thing has no clue what house he’s living in.
The Travolta’s have started off their New Year with a big loss in their family. Their son Jett died earlier today after an apparent seizure that resulted in him hitting his head on a bathtub at a hotel in the Bahamas where the family was vacationing.
This is unfortunate and tragic. Our thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.

Michael Crichton, famous sci-fi/thriller author has died. He died of cancer today at only 66 years of age. His works include Jurassic Park, Timeline, Sphere, The Andromeda Strain, Congo, and others. He was also the writer of the popular TV medical drama ER.
He was simply a genious. He started off his career as a doctor. That would explain why his books are so realistic and authentic. When you read a Michael Crichton novel it’s as if you are able to utilize all five senses. His descriptions and settings are amazingly well writen. Whether dinosaurs are being cloned or a complex medical operation is being performed, as the reader you don’t doubt for a second whether what you are reading is possible. It’s explained in such detail that he truly was able to bend and blur the lines between science fiction writing and realistic dramas. Everything felt real because he wrote it as if it was.
I have enormous respect for him. He kept his battle with cancer very secret, which is why his death is such a shock to so many of us. His stories will continue to be read for generations. If only he had more time to write.
RIP Michael. You will be missed.
People Magazine just released their new issue. If their cover story doesn’t sell the issue then I don’t know what will. “Best and Worst! Dressed ‘08″. Now this is something everybody is interested in. Or are they? Honestly we all see these magazines and I think everybody just assumes that they should care. Who doesn’t care what Angelina Jolie wore to some event? That’s life and death right there folks. How dare we as consumers not follow the latest and greatest wardrobe malfunctions?
Remember Kelly from The Office? That’s the type of person who cares what celebrities wear. If I were a celebrity I’d probably feel the urge to wear strange and exciting clothing too but seriously at some point you just have to think to yourself.. “And I care why?” If somebody really wanted to shake up Hollywood they’d go there and wear jeans and a t-shirt. It would be crazy, inappropriate, rebellious, and would turn heads all the way across the room from the red carpet. Of course nobody in Hollywood would want to be THAT person.
