SWEET JESUS! ANNA NICOLE WEDS HOWARD K. STERN! HOLD UP! SCRATCH THAT!

Update: According to ETonline, Anna's publicist says the couple did not get married (as reported earlier in the day by Star Magazine), but had a commitment ceremony. Good going Star Magazine! You can read all about it HERE.

Anna Nicole and Howard "escaped their house" at three o'clock this morning, according to their press release, "and boarded a boat to quietly sail the ocean around Nassau ... on a clandestine sail to recapture simple pleasures -- fresh salt air on the face, a sunrise on the ocean, and wind in their hair. And then a good thing happened: during the sail, Anna Nicole Smith and Howard K. Stern made a commitment before God to be there for one another, to be each other's strength during this difficult time.

Earlier post:

Straight from Star Magazine's website:

Anna Nicole Smith married her long-time attorney and close confidante, Howard K. Stern, this morning just shortly before 10:30 am in Nassau, Bahamas. The wedding occurred only 18 days after the death of Anna's son Daniel, 20, from an accidental drug overdose in her Nassau hospital room on September 10. In a world-exclusive report, an eyewitness tells Star that Anna, 38, and Howard, 37, tied the knot shortly before 10:30 am on the morning of September 28, while sailing on a white catamaran off of Nassau! "There was heavy security around the yacht, plus extra speedboats to deliver more supplies as needed (including unlimited Dom Perignon champagne) from the mainland to the catamaran," says the eyewitness, who adds that the wedding party celebrated the union afterwards by having a swim party around the yacht — "and Anna was wearing a pink bikini!" Two days before, on September 26, Stern appeared live on the Larry King Show via satellite from the Bahamas, to announce that he was the father of Anna's newborn daughter Danilynne Hope, that he and Anna "love each other" — and that the duo would get married "at some point." Apparently, that point arrived much sooner than later. A source adds: "Stern was making all the arrangements in the days before the wedding."

Hmmm...okay, something tells me this marriage may have to do more with the questionable paternity of her new daughter and a possible custody battle with Larry Birkhead if he turns out to be the father instead of Howard K. Stern. That could produce all kinds of mess. But if Anna Nicole is married (to a lawyer no less), she has a better chance of not losing custody of that baby. Sure, I'd like to believe these guys are madly in love, but something smells a little fishy considering we haven't even heard if her son was buried yet.

Seems like I'm not the only one who thinks this is odd. My friends random reactions to the news of Anna Nicole's marriage as it broke were:

"What?! Her son just died and they served unlimited Dom Perignon??"

"She wore a pink bikini? Maybe if her son didn't just die she could be like Pamela Anderson, but ohhh she's going to get such shit in the press for this!"

"What? A pink bikini after her son just died?? She could have at least worn black!"

"She wore a bikini after just having a baby?"

"Yeah, a c-section no less!"

"Oh well, then, I really don't believe this story now!!"

HOUSE OF CARTERS: DIGGING UP ALL KINDS OF WHITE TRASH!

I have to admit, I am going to be all over E!'s new reality show called House of Carters starring that Backstreet Boy Nick Carter and his family. For many months after hearing about it, I would roll my eyes and thought there was no way in hell that I would watch it. That is, until I started seeing the commercials for it. I guess Nick (who seems like the only sane one in the family) decided to bring his siblings together to try and repair his self proclaimed "disfunctional family" (which includes his brother Aaron and sisters Leslie, B.J. & Angel). All I can say is after watching the promos, there seems to be all kinds of white trash up in the House of Carters. Don't even get me started on that Aaron Carter who made news last week after proposing to a Playboy model that he reportedly dated for around week--only to rescind the offer a couple days later. Forget the proposal, he should have made news for the fact that he is 18 and his voice sounds like he is still in the midst of puberty.

I have a feeling I will only be able to tolerate and not make fun of Nick Carter. He did an interview this week with US Weekly where he spills all the dirt about his tumultuous relationship with Paris Hilton. He admits that they broke up after he heard rumors that she was screwing Chad Michael Murray while the two were filming House of Wax in Australia. He also said that he heard after Paris screwed CMM, she went with Chad and picked out the engagement ring he later gave to now ex-wife Sophia Bush. Nice. Nick said when he confronted Paris about it, she only admitted it after he threatened to call Sophia and tell her. Oh how I love dirt like that. Anyway, I'll be giving this show a chance, or at least watch it long enough for me to see the clip they've been showing on the commercials with Nick screaming with rage to Aaron over the fact that Aaron took Whore Hilton out on a date days after Nick and WH broke up. Quality television, I tell ya. Hmmm....could I be smelling possible House of Carters episode recaps in the near future?

OH THAT UGLY BETTY!

I cannot wait to watch Ugly Betty!! This new show premieres tonight on ABC at 8 p.m. If anyone has seen the movie Real Women Have Curves, then you'll be familiar with Ugly Betty's star, America Ferrera. She's awesome. Check out the YouTube below for an Ugly Betty preview and if you want to see more, watch the first 8 minutes of tonight's episode HERE.

PAPA JOE WANTS TO BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF BAM MARGERA.

Papa Joe Simpson is pissed the hell off after stinky Jackass Number Two star Bam Margera opened his big fat-assed mouth on Howard Stern last week and finally confirmed the rumors that he bumped nasties with Jessica Simpson when she was still married to Nick Lachey. When Papa Joe was asked by US Weekly about Bam's admission to Stern, he said, "As a father, I want to go beat the crap out of people who say things like this. It really huts to hear people say things like this about my daughter." Hey Papa Joe! *snicker* I bet Nick doesn't look so bad after all, huh?! Some may think Jessica got what's coming to her if she cheated on delicious Nick (with a smelly boy no less) and that may be true. But no matter how you feel about Jessica and her alleged actions, little Bam Bam should have kept his mouth shut about their infamous dirty drunken margarita night. Whatever. Bam and his whole crew are pigs anyway. Should you really expect anything less from someone who probably gets off on stapling his testicles together? Surprisingly, Papa Joe reveals that after the Stern interview, Jessica did not go hunt Margera down and kick him in the nuts. He told US Weekly, "At the end of the day, she's friends with these guys." Whyyy?

THE CAUSE OF DANIEL SMITH'S DEATH REVEALED.

PEOPLE is reporting that Cyril Wecht, the pathologist that performed the 2nd autopsy on Anna Nicole Smith's son, Daniel, has announced his death was caused by "a lethal combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro." He also said the drugs caused the "cardiac dysrhythmia that led to Daniel's death." PEOPLE reports that Wecht got the toxicology results today. Such a shame, shame, shame and a waste of a good life.

THIS WEEK IN THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER: STEVE IRWIN HAD HEAD INJURY BEFORE GOING INTO WATER.

Oh dear. The National Enquirer has uncovered that Steve Irwin had a head injury before going into the water, making the investigation into his death not as cut and dry as expected. I'm curious to know what happened, although I don't know how much of a difference it makes with the fact that he was killed by a stingray. Saying that, if he did have a head injury, there is no telling if it might have had an impact on his judgement or movements underwater. Ugh, officials can investigate all they want, but please just don't dig up that body as they are suggesting on the cover.

Speaking of Steve Irwin, his wife Terri is going to be interviewed by Barbara Walters tonight on "20/20" at 10pm E.T. You can read about the interview and watch a clip of it HERE.

HOWARD K. STERN TELLS LARRY KING HE IS THE FATHER OF ANNA NICOLE'S DAUGHTER.

An incredibly somber Howard K. Stern appeared on Larry King Live tonight to speak about the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel. He confirmed some of the stuff already reported on and shed light on some new things.

According to Howard K. Stern:

• He is the father of Anna Nicole's baby. He said that according to the timing of when she got pregnant, he knows he is the father and that Larry Burkhead is not. Howard also said he and Anna Nicole have been in a relationship for a very long time but wanted to keep it secret because he was her lawyer. He said they are in love. Hmmmm...
• Anna Nicole named the baby Dannie-Lynn Hope.
• Howard is willing to take a DNA test to prove he is the baby's father. He said he and Anna Nicole have told Larry Burkhead he is not the father and is also disgusted how Burkhead chose to deal with this through the media (aka: appearing on Entertainment Tonight) during such a difficult time for Anna Nicole.
• At some point Howard and Anna Nicole will get married.
• Anna Nicole did release the pictures of Daniel to the media so she could create the Daniel Wayne Smith Charitable foundation. She has not personally received any of the money and anything she gets will go to the charity.
  
• No further word yet on the cause of Daniel's death.
• Daniel was planning on moving to the Bahamas to live with Anna Nicole and also go to school there.
• At one point in the hospital room during the night before his death, Daniel said to Howard, "How come I'm so tired?"
• Daniel was not in a chair (as previously reported) when Anna Nicole found him and realized he wasn't breathing. He was lying next to her, having moved into the same bed in the middle of the night.
• When they realized Daniel was gone, Anna was at the end of the bed, hugging his legs and praying to Jesus that he take her instead of Daniel.
• Anna never screamed "you did this!" in the hospital room to anyone.
• No blood and vomit was found in the room as reported.
• They did have to sedate Anna as she refused to leave her son's side.
• Daniel was previously hospitalized for a week for severe back pains and depression (not for his heart as previously reported).

WILL MADONNA & GUY HAVE AN AFRICAN BABY NEXT MONTH?

I still don't believe this story 100%, but I heard it on Good Day L.A. this morning (and it was not a part of Tabloid Thursday), so I thought I'd throw it up here. Rumors have been around for a while, but reports are surfacing again that Madonna and cute hubby Guy Ritchie may adopt a child from an African orphanage next month. Oh how very Angelina of you Madonna! British paper 'The People' reports that a source close to the couple claims that that not only may Mr. & Mrs. Ritchie adopt a child, but they might end up bringing home twins or siblings in order not to break up a family. They even went as far to say that Madonna and Guy are "willing to consider a child with special needs arising from being abandoned in an orphanage." Ha. "willing," I love it.

The source adds that both Madonna's daughter Lourdes and son Rocco are "really excited" about the possibility of having a new sibling and from Africa no less! Wow, maybe dear Lourdes can teach the new baby French! A spokesperson for Madonna did not confirm or deny the story, only telling The People, "Madonna will go to Africa in the next six to eight weeks for her charity." According to reports a couple months back, Madonna and Guy are said to be building a school and home for kids in the African city of Malawi. Yeah, like I said, I don't know how much I believe the African adoption story ... the only thing missing from it is someone claiming Madonna called up Angelina Jolie for "advice." All joking aside, I do like Madonna & Guy and admire the way they appear to have raised their children. Any new child they bring into their home and make part of their family will be one lucky kid.

JACK OSBOURNE SAYS HE ONCE TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

Oh dear. That Jack Osbourne is so lovely now that he finally got his act together and is off the drugs and is all squeaky clean & sober. Sadly, times have not always been so good for the kid. In his upcoming book Jack Osbourne: 21 Years Gone, good 'ol Jacky tells how during his time of addiction, the depression he suffered became so bad coupled with drugs and alcohol, that he once tried to kill himself. Jack, who was staying in a hotel room in New York at the time, said that he went over the edge one night after he called his then girlfriend and her ex-boyfriend answered the phone. He writes:

"That night I started cutting myself. I sliced up my hands with a broken bottle. I then reached for a bottle of absinthe that I had in my hotel room, mixed it with water and chugged as much as I could. "It wasn't easy to keep down, but eventually I knew I had drunk a hefty amount, so I looked around and found several bottles of pills: Soma, Xanax and Dilaudid, a pretty potent cocktail of prescription opiates. I helped myself to a handful, swallowed them and climbed into bed. I lay there, my hands bleeding and my head spinning, as I waited for death to take me." Luckily, Jack woke up in his bed 12 hours later and had the wit's to call his therapist. He added, "There was no small talk. I was weeping down the phone, 'I think I tried to kill myself last night.'"

Oh those Osbournes.

STEVEN TYLER BATTLED THE HEP C.

The New York Daily News reports that on Access Hollywood tomorrow night, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler reveals that he had been battling hepatitis C for the past few years. Tyler said that he was officially diagnosed 3 years ago, but he has had it for a long time, being asymptomatic for many years. Hepatitis C, which according to the CDC is a disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), is also what Pamela Anderson announced a few years ago she has and claimed to have caught from sharing a tattoo needle with her ex-husband Tommy Lee. Tyler said that he underwent a year of successful interferon treatments to battle the virus and told host Nancy O'Dell the Hep C is now "nonexistent in my bloodstream, where it's like a complete cure." He added, "I've been pretty quiet about this." "The band took a break about three years ago. [My doctor] said now is the time, and it's 11 months of chemotherapy," actually, interferon, which strengthens the immune system "so I went on that, and it about killed me." Tyler adds, "It's a shot and pills and all of that. But the good news is I stood the test of time."

HOWARD K. STERN TO APPEAR ON LARRY KING LIVE.

Make sure to tune into CNN's Larry King Live Tuesday night because his guest will be Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Stern. Even though Larry King is a horrible interviewer, this is still worth watching because Stern was the only other person in the room when Anna Nicole found Daniel dead. The interview with King will be Stern's first since the tragedy. Hopefully that curmudgeon Larry has his act together and doesn't F*ck up anyone's name. Oh the humanity!

PROSECUTORS CHARGE LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS WITH DOMESTIC BATTERY.

Prosecutors have decided to go ahead and charge actor Lou Diamond Phillips with domestic battery after he was arrested last month for beating on his girlfriend. Bad, bad, Lou Diamond! The police report states that during an argument with his live-in girlfriend, Phillips "pushed and dragged her across the house resulting in scrapes to both knees," then she allegedly locked herself in the bathroom and dialed 911 for help. If convicted of this misdemeanor charge, Phillips could face a maximum of one year in jail and a $2,000 fine. Oh well, I loved you in LaBamba, but you pushed and dragged your girlfriend around the room? 'Twas nice knowing you Lou Diamond. Have fun in the pokey!

DUMBASS OF THE WEEK: COCAINE ENERGY DRINK

The name says it all.

Ugh. If those crap sugar "energy" drinks weren't bad enough, a new one has hit the market called, "Cocaine." Yeah, yeah, don't get excited people, the drink doesn't actually contain any of the real drug, but the name alone is enough for me to give the drink itself, and its inventor Jamey Kirby, the crown of co-"Dumbass's of The Week." According to ABC News, this drink is supposed to "give a person a "high" coupled with a tingly euphoric feeling within five minutes of drinking it. That initial boost is followed 15 minutes later by an energy buzz that will last five to six hours." Oh, and not to mention contains a "throat-numbing" ingredient that emulates the numbing affects of real cocaine.

Whatever. I'm sure a bunch of you will be like, "ooh I want to try that!" and if you are an adult and you want to put that crap in your body instead of having energy from lets say, eating healthy and working out, do it. But to market something with a name like this, when tweens, teens, etc will be drinking this shit (cuz you know they do), how long before one stupid kid is like, "Ohhh me likey this buzz and my throat feeling all numb, real cocaine must be even better!!" Real smart. Dumbass!

BARBRA STREISAND'S GOT REALLY BIG KNOCKERS.

Ah darn it! I was all ready to poke a little fun at Barbra Streisand for not wearing a bra under black and making her lovelies fall victim to the flashbulbs of the paparazzi cameras, but then I read an accompanying article about Barbra and how sad she was after a good friend of hers died and of course, it made me feel bad for her. So no fun will be made by me today, I will just leave you with the picture to enjoy.

KIRSTEN DUNST DOES THE FASHION THING IN "WENDYBIRD."

So. People in the fashion industry have probably already seen this a zillion times, but for a little Tabloid Whore like me (and maybe some of you), it's brand new. I just came across this YouTube of a 7 minute short film called "Wendybird" that actress Kirsten Dunst did for designer Erin Fetherston's Autumn/Winter 2006 collection. The short film was screened this past March during L.A. Fashion Week at a party for Fetherston and a fun fact for my fellow Angelenos ... It was filmed over at good 'ol Lake Balboa.

It's quirky and odd with some really cool music, so of course, I'm inexplicably drawn to it.

Fetherston said the "Wendybird" title is a reference to the scene in "Peter Pan" when Wendy arrives in Neverland: "She's more abstract than a girl, she's a bird-girl ... a kind of mythic creature." - Source

JANET JACKSON: A WHOLE LOTTA ARMS IN ITALIAN VANITY FAIR.

I just came across these photos of Janet Jackson on the cover of Italian Vanity Fair, thanks to the people over at Concrete Loop. I'm not crazy about the arms flopping all over the place but other than that, Janet is gorgeous and sizzlin.' Plus, a little birdie hooked me up with a preview copy of her upcoming cd 20 Y.O. (in stores Tuesday 9/26) and I have to say, it's spectacular. Kicking ass right from the start, I have no doubt this release is going to explode into all kinds of hits for little Ms. Jackson. Check out her video for "So Excited," which is my favorite song on the new CD!

BIG BROTHER'S WILL KIRBY ON THE SET OF YOUNG & THE RESTLESS.

IN TOUCH WEEKLY WITH ANNA NICOLE & DANIEL HITS NEWSSTANDS.

The new issue of In Touch Weekly with the last photos of Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel hits newsstands today. In the magazine they say Daniel had prescriptions for the anti-depressant Lexapro and the sleeping pill Ambien for the past two months. They quote a pharmacist who said that taking the two drugs together and the build up in his system over time could have and contributed to his death. Anna's friend Howard K. Stern confirmed to E! News Wednesday that doctor's found the two prescription drugs in Daniel's system, although not at levels that could have caused his death. He also added that that the first of three toxicology tests performed on Daniel turned up no traces of illegal substances in his bloodstream.

It all still remains a strange mystery...

PARIS HILTON, EVEN MORE PATHETIC THAN YOU THOUGHT.

This will come as no surprise to many of you, but remember those pictures that recently surfaced of Paris Hilton making out with Blink 182's Travis Barker? Not to mention, her lame ass denials that it was Travis' friend she was kissing in the photos and not him? Well, leave it to The National Enquirer in this week's issue to print another copy of the makeout photo that allegedly shows her publicist Elliot Mintz standing front and center and snapping his own photos of Travis & Paris swapping spit to reportedly "leak" to the tabloids (ala Papa Joe Simpson). Although most people know this is common practice of publicists, if you're going to do it, at least don't get caught in the photo. Plus, seeing Mintz snapping away with his digital camera and then having to read about his client denying a relationship with Barker is still pretty lame and pathetic. But hey, this is Paris we're talking about afterall.

(To see the photo you'll have to pick up the magazine. I'd put it up, but if I did, i'd be in big trouble with my peeps over at The NE, and we wouldn't want that to happen, would we?) Ugh! On second thought ...why am I even wasting my time writing about this whore??!

NICK LACHEY STILL DREAMY (PLUS GETS $10 MILLION IN DIVORCE).

Oh that Nick Lachey. According to Star Magazine, his divorce $ettlement with Jessica Simpson is finally over and done with. They are reporting that instead of the paltry $1.25 million first offered by Simpson and her attorneys, Nick will receive a delicious $10 million in assets. Oh yes. Even though the couple did not have a prenup and Nick could have gone to court and ultimately banked 50% of the $36 million that they earned during their marriage, Nick & Jess opted to settle out of court and avoid a nasty battle. According to Star, Nick will get 1.5% of Jessica's Dessert Beauty line (hey, he licked her hand for those ads, he deserves it!), $2 million from the sale of the home they shared, $2.2 million in securities accounts and of course, baby gets to keep the $200k Ferrari Jessica gave to him as a gift. Vroom! Vroom!

COURTNEY LOVE JOINS THE FIGHT TO HELP WHITNEY HOUSTON!

When you aren't expecting it, help can come from the strangest places. US Weekly is reporting in their latest issue that dear Courtney Love played a part in Whitney Houston's latest foray into rehab. Huh? Courtney Love? Wha? Yep, the magazine is claiming that when Whitney's #1 music man Clive Davis realized that girlfriend was like hardcore over the edge, he rung up good 'ol recovering addict Courtney Love for help. Hey, makes sense...who better than Courtney Love, someone who was once down in the drug dumps herself (but is now reportedly clean as a whistle), for Whitney to relate to? Courtney reportedly agreed to help Davis stage an intervention for Houston and she has now become somewhat of a mentor to Whitney. Wait a minute. Courtney freakin' Love?? If that ain't beautiful, I don't know what the hell is anymore. In addition to the intervention, she has reportedly put Whitney in touch with the same addiction counselor that helped her through her own drug problems. Even though both these women have been complete messes at different points in their lives, I like them both and wish them the best. These two talented bitches now share an unlikely bond that none of us would have ever imagined and the insane irony of the two of them coming together shows it might actually work. Saying that, lets hope it does good for both of them in the sense of recovery and they don't just end up in a back alley somewhere doing crack together. Good luck ladies!

LOHAN WANTS TO MOVE TO LONDON. OH PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE.

Alert! Lindsay Lohan has said she lerrrvves London so much that she wants to move to Notting Hill with her new boy toy Harry Morton. YES! She reportedly has said, "I just love Notting Hill - it has some really cool shops and great restaurants. "I've been looking at some properties while I've been over here and we're hoping to buy something soon. I can see me and Harry really fitting in there." Oh London, you can gladly have her. Please, please Lindsay...move the hell to London and get out of Los Angeles. Then maybe we wouldn't have to read about you breaking this, that, or the other every single week in every single tabloid, not to mention be exposed to your frequent stays in the hospital for "exhaustion."

ANNA NICOLE'S REPS SOLD THE DANIEL PHOTOS.

After I posted the story about photo agent Getty Images selling the last pictures of Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel to the highest bidder, many of you wondered who got ahold of these pictures and actually handed them over to Getty Images. The New York Daily News is reporting that it was Anna Nicole Smith's reps that gave the photos to Getty and that between the print and television rights, the reps and photo agent got more than $600,000 for the pics. InTouch magazine will feature the photos in a tribute to Daniel in what most likely will be this week's issue and the tv show Entertainment Tonight has secured the television rights to show the pictures. NYDN Lloyd Grove reports that he was informed Anna Nicole "has vague plans to use a portion of the money for a Daniel Smith memorial," but the rest is very unclear.

First off, something seems very strange about this whole thing. "Vague plans?" I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Anna probably doesn't understand much about the sale of these photos being done as "a tribute to Daniel" in the first place. I believe before Daniel's death that a photo session was arranged to feature Anna and the new baby for magazine publication. But since Daniel's death, the focus and significance of these photos has changed tremendously. All we've heard is that Anna Nicole has been in seclusion and so sedated and depressed since the death of her son, that I don't think she would even be capable of thinking about selling the last photos of Daniel for magazine tributes. Her reps on the otherhand are a different story. I think they had the photos and instead of holding on to them out of respect for the tragedy that happened after they were taken, they ran with it. It feels as though in her state of mourning, Anna Nicole was somewhat taken advantage of with the sale of these photographs. Well, one can only hope, right?

DOG: THE FAMILY SPEAKS

Okay, so tonight after an all new episode of Dog The Bounty Hunter on A&E 9:00 ET/PT, I want you all to make sure to watch Dog: The Family Speaks at 10:00 ET/PT. According to the peeps over at A&E, it is a special one-hour presentation that will include "exclusive interviews offering a first hand account of the events leading to Dog, Leland and Tim's dramatic arrest stemming from their heroic capture of convicted rapist Andrew Luster in Mexico more than three years ago." I'm sure it's going to be some really interesting stuff and for those of you who don't know the history of Dog and that pig rapist Andrew Luster, this is your chance to learn all about it. Trust me, you will become a fan of Dog's after you hear the story.

Some other good stuff to check out is the great interview Rita Cosby did on her MSNBC show with Dog & his wife Beth after his release from jail Friday. In addition to the interview with Dog & Beth, a woman who was a victim of Andrew Luster's disgusting crimes also appeared as a guest on the show. She wanted to speak out about Dog's arrest because she felt so strongly about showing her support for him. The whole segment is about 20 mins, but worth the watch if you've got the time. Watch HERE.

PHOTOS OF ANNA NICOLE, DANIEL & BABY SISTER LEAKED ON INTERNET.

So pictures of Anna Nicole Smith with her newborn baby and late son Daniel have surfaced on the internet and they are heartbreaking. Getty Images had a bidding war for them and In Touch magazine reportedly got their sticky hands on the rights and are rumored to have shelled out over $300k for the shots. According to AP reports, Pathologist Cyril Wecht who performed the second autopsy said Daniel had low amounts of a "prescribed anti-depression medication in him and he was being treated for depression that began about four to six weeks earlier." "Wecht's autopsy ruled out several natural causes — including heart disease, stroke or a "congenital anomaly" — as well as foul play. Investigators have said they did not find evidence of drugs or obvious signs of a crime." He also added that there was "no evidence that he died from a "suicidal overdose" and that Daniel's depression "had to do with a girlfriend." Wecht did not know if the prescribed medication played a part in Daniel's death and is still awaiting toxicology test results to determine the exact cause.

As I said, the photos are heartbreaking, especially one I saw of Daniel holding his baby sister. Many of you may have already seen the pictures on other websites, but the idea of putting them up here makes me feel dirty for some reason. I mean, I know I put a lot of crap up on Tabloid Whore, but sometimes you have to draw the line, y'know? But of course, for those of you interested, I am happy to provide you with a link to Defamer who has the pictures for everyone to gawk over at their leisure.

HAPPY MONDAY! ANYONE FREE FOR LUNCH?

Yeah, It must be tough being a celebrity like Nicole Richie and having every single move you make monitored and recorded by the good 'ol paparazzi. Just look here at the dear trying to eat a burger in peace, I mean, c'mon..she says she is not anorexic, but you damn photographers are stressing her out so much that that burger may very well end up in the toilet because of you! Oh and by the way... I don't buy her supposed "romance" with Brody Jenner for a second. Dude does not go from a Kristin Cavalleri bod to a Nicole Richie bod. I'm sure she's a doll, but I'm betting it's just the whole childhood friend thing over anything romantic. Damn, hopefully he can get her to keep that burger down, looks like she was having a bit of difficulty (or maybe it's just those horrendous old lady glasses she is wearing weighing her face down).

UPDATE: DUANE "DOG" CHAPMAN & CREW FREE ON BAIL.

So my boy Dog The Bounty Hunter, his hottie son Leland Chapman and bounty hunting partner in crime Tim Chapman have all been released on bail in Hawaii, thank the sweet baby J. Dog's bail was a whopping $300,000 and Tim & Leland's bail was $100,000 each. The three men have to wear electronic monitoring devices until they return to court for extradition hearings to face trial in Mexico *shakes head.* This all stems from their 2003 capture in Mexico of convicted rapist Andrew Luster. Oh yeah, they also cannot leave their homes unless it's for work (ironic). According to reports, the courtroom was packed for the bail hearing and supporters stood outside with signs saying, "Let go our hero."
I swear, if that man has to do one more day of time in a mexican jail because of this, all hell is going to break loose!
