    From IMDb:

    As a gesture of thanks for giving her children music lessons, Coretta Scott King paid the hospital bills when the pregnant Mrs. Roberts' delivered her next child. That child ended up being Julia.

    Lady Jayne ?? wtf! i thought she was Jane Seymour Fonda!!


    This one is a great one for us death hags:

    Hans Christian Andersen, famous worldwide for such fairy tales as "The Princess and the Pea" and "The Emperor's New Clothes," was terrified of being prematurely declared dead and buried alive. He almost always carried a note in his pocket telling anyone who might find him unconscious that it must not be assumed he was dead unless he was examined again. He often left another note on his bedside table stating, "I only seem dead." But in 1875, when he died of cancer in Copenhagen, he was very dead.

    Keanu's mother was a seamstress for many famous rock bands back in the late 60's & early 70's and he was raised in Hawaii where his father was arrested many times for dealing.
    He refused to visit or talk about his father for many years until the Enquirer "uncovered" the lineage.

    The mom of Slash of Guns' n Roses was also some kind of rocker seamstress....Slash got babysat by John Lennon...or something like that, I'm fuzzy on the details.

    I know, not shocking.....but kind of neato

    Mentioned on FAD and in another thread: Keith Moon and Cass Elliott died in the same apartment. It belonged to Harry Nilsson. Wasn't he the one who got John Lennon into drunken troubles? Not a good guy for celeb musicians to hang out with. Is he dead?

    Denis Leary was also one of the anonymous helping to clean up the 9/11 rubble.

    Katherine Moennig (Shane on The L Word) is Gwyneth Paltrow's cousin.

    Dominick Dunne's sister-in-law, the author Joan Didion, helped his brother John write several screenplays, including A Star is Born and Up Close and Personal.

    Engelbert Humperdink is barred from performing or staying at the Pheasant Run Dinner Theater in a suburb of Chicago. The reason? He threw one too many wild, all-men orgiy parties and destroyed the room. My source? One of the local musicians he hired for the gig told me directly. Yes....Englebert is bi-sexual.

    Marilyn Monroe did not have 6 toes according to snopes

    Vince Neil is responsible for the death of Razzle a.k.a Nicholas Dingley of Hanoi Rocks:
    Death
    In late 1984 Hanoi Rocks was on their first American tour. Frontman Michael Monroe fractured his ankle, so the band had to skip a few gigs and take a break. During that break Razzle decided to visit his friend, Mötley Crüe's singer Vince Neil, in California.
    On December 8, Razzle visited Neil's home and spent the day at Redondo Beach. The two decided to take a trip to a local liquor store in Neil's De Tomaso Pantera. While speeding and driving drunk, Neil lost control of the car and hit an opposing vehicle. The two occupants of the other car were seriously injured but Razzle took the worst of it. He was taken to South Bay ER but was declared DOA 8 December at 19:12 local time. (It was already 9 December in Europe, which is considered his official time of death). He was buried at Holy Cross Church in Binstead near Ryde on the Isle of Wight in 1988. Vince dedicated Theater of Pain to Razzle.
    Neil's account of this event is documented in Mötley Crüe's 2001 autobiography The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band.
    Neil was charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol in connection with the crash. His blood alcohol level was .17, well above the legal limit of .10.

    it's called Polythesia..and its actually a lot more common than why you may think...in utero we all have two rolls of nipples just like a dog or cat would but as we develop the extra are absorbed to leave only two nipples...well sometimes one (or more) do not absorb...it really doesn't look like a nipple though...more like a strawberry/birthmark...how do I know this? because I TOO have a "third nipple" I actually have extra tissue within my breast tissue, NO I do not have a "third breast" just one boob is a little more plump than the other...it's very common and very easy to just pass the mark off as a mole or a birthmark...or become popular at parties???? lol

    I believe the term is "skanky little ho". Wasn't it also said that in her early years she was kinda "dirty" (poor hygiene). I still think she was suffering from mental issues which could easily explain the massive switch.

    Tula from "For Your Eyes Only" was technically born a man. She was cast in the 1981 James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only", credited only as "Girl At Pool"

    Caroline "Tula" Cossey was born with male sex organs, under the name Barry Cossey. Throughout her teenage years, even though anatomically she was a male, she was extremely feminine, tall, very thin, and often was mistaken for being female (even before transitioning). Later tests would prove that her chromosomes were in fact XXXY, which make her genetic makeup sexually ambiguous...in other words her genetics are more female than male, which gave her the extremely female appearance naturally, no facial surgery altering. She was not "just a male" as many have implicated.

    Later, in her late teens (17), she moved to a part of town where other transgendered women helped her transition to the female gender, and she began living entirely as a female, underwent breast augmentation surgery, and in the early 1970s worked as a topless dancer to raise money for sex-reassignment surgery (completely concealing her "male" parts in custom-made (very uncomfortable) underwear. Ms. Cossey posed topless for several well-known adult magazines still as a pre-operative transsexual, the photographers completely unaware of her "addition". In 1974 she had her (long-awaited) sex-reassignment surgery performed at Charing Cross Hospital in London, England. Her career then took off as a fashion model because her Amazon Goddess height of 6 feet was in strong demand, and her beauty attracted photographers from everywhere. She modeled for various agencies, advertisements, and appeared on numerous well-known magazine covers, as well as countless spreads, including the glamourous Vogue.


    She's absolutely beautiful.

    I never seen either the film, much less the play but I heard not only did Sal Mineo do a scene totally nude but in the play right in front of the audience he had anal sex..with Don Johnson ( then an unknown ). Wonder if this was an urban legend?

    "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree" was a hit for Tony Orlando and Dawn. Not Toni, Orlando, and Dawn.

    The building which was the Cabana Hotel where The Beatles stayed in Dallas in now a county jail. Doris Day was part owner of the hotel back in The Beatles days.

    Keanu Reeves' woodshop teacher back in high school had only three fingers on his left hand.

    Vicki Lawrence (born Victoria Ann Axelrad) changed her professional name to Vicki Lawrence Schultz to honor her husband, Al Schultz. It was her husband who asked her to drop his last name because he didn't think it suited her. He said she was "Vicki Lawrence" and would always be "Vicki Lawrence" to the public.

    Sharon Tate's grandmother use to babysit her. It is not known if this was her maternal or paternal grandmother. It could have been both.

    SHOCKING BUT TRUE!!!!!!!!!

    Not really shocking, but interesting:

    Brandon Lee was a Dungeons and Dragons master whatchamacallit who hosted other players.

    He was addicted to GameBoy. His Crow makeup artist said that when Brandon won a point it made him jump with joy and he had to reapply some of the fine lines in the makeup.

    As a child, Brandon fractured his skull.

    The last dude in the boost commercial with Jermaine Dupri and young jeezy his dad was a heroin addict and his mom a pot dealer. In his late teens, the rapper (born Yeshe Perl) became an Orthodox Jew. By his early 20s, he had married, had a daughter, shaved his beard and moved to Portland, Oregon, where he turned to prostitution, giving hand jobs to fund a raging smack habit. While in Portland, tragedy struck his family: His sister died of a heroin overdose and his father was killed in a car accident.

    STEVE BUSCEMI was once stabbed in the throat and arm in a bar fight.[/quote]

    He was in the bar with Vince Vaughn. What I read(do not know if this is true)
    Vince was decided to fight with some locals(I think the locals started it)
    Steve tried to make peace between both sides and got knifed as a result. I recall deciding I really do not like Vince Vaughn.

    that might explain why she looks like a man. not to sound mean but girlfriend has "mannish" features. in the movie "holloween" i thought she was very unattractive. this also explains why she has to have her breast hanging out in some of her other movies. i hear she had plastic surgery and it did not turn out too well.

    I mentioned this somewhat before but most television news anchors have a morals clause in place in the contacts they sign before they go on the air. I know its done a lot on the local level and I imagine its a safe bet to say its done on the national level too.

    Of course some are more extreme than others. I have been told for example that Clear Channel Television doesn't allow their employees to have profiles on "questionable websites" and there is another company ( I think its Media General but I could be wrong ) that frowns on their employees using My Space.

    I had a friend who did weather for a FOX station several years back. She wasn't even allowed to be seen going into a liquor store, she actually had to have her boyfriend go to the store to buy her beer. I remember she was saying this rule came from FOX themselves so I guess this includes those who were seen on FOX News too. Of course maybe this has since been changed, but I doubt it.

    Hi Hoxharding...

    It was in the late 1980's , it was all brushed under the carpet, but I think his partner at the time was Lise Mayer who is now married to Angus Deaton [another character] she knows how to pick 'em. Really horrible what he did, he couldnt make up his mind up or something.

    I am a firm believer or what goes around comes around. Not saying he deserved a quad bike to land on his head, those things a bloody dangerous, ........but......maybe someone "up there" thought it would teach him a lesson.....

    I used to think he was alright, I loved him in the Young Ones, and Bottom, The New Statesmen, I think it must have been around the new statesmen time is when he went through his mid life crisis. I kind of saw him in a different light after that.

    She did a photosession a while back in which she appeared in her underwear. She showed how she really looked without the help of a hairdresser, make-up artist, plastic surgeon etc.

    She did admit that she had plastic surgery in the past (lypo suction I believe) and that it didn't work in the end. You can't stop ageing. She also stopped dying her hair and is going grey. She showed how she really looks and I thought she was great. Can you imagine any other moviestar doing the same thing? I think they would rather drop dead than showing the rest of the world that they are just human (and wrinkly).

    James Dean's two front teeth were missing. He lost them playing sports in High School and wore partial dentures. His favorite trick was to take out his dentures and throw 'em in your drink when you weren't looking.
