    [quote=FannyB1923;254641]The rumors that always make me want to cover my ears are the stories about Grace Kelly being some kind of hot mama when she arrived in Hollywood. If they're true I don't want to know!

    I guess that story that she wanted to marry the designer Oleg Cassini is true. Her father threw a fit. He didn't want her to marry a divorced man. There was still stigma attached to it- especially for a devout Catholic family.
    Although I do like the idea that Cary Grant was crazy mad about her. They remained friends her whole life.

    Sometimes it's written that she and Prince Ranier weren't that happy. That she wanted to continue to do films and he wouldn't let her. Seems to me that dressing up and being a princess every day would be the part of a lifetime!
    As for them not getting along- I watched her funeral. He was absolutely heartbroken-lost the love of his life. If he was faking it, give him the Oscar![/quo

    it's actually more than a stigma. You'll get excommunicated.

    Re: Halle Berry's hearing lost. I found out from a reliable source that neither Wesley Snipes nor David Justice beat Halle and caused her hearing loss. The abuse was from the hands of Christopher Williams. Many of you may remember him from the film "New Jack City" and he was also kinda popular as a singer in the early 90's.

    Here's a vid for his song from the movie soundtrack:

    Berenson was returning to California after vacationing on Cape cod, and was a passenger on American Airlines flight 11, which was hijacked and crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. She was 53.


    So was David Angell who produced Frasier, among other programs.

    Quite a change for the cool.

    Who was that other guy; what happened to him? No, I don't keep up with celebrities; in case that is a stupid question.

    At the time there was a story that made the news channels where Anne Heche had a ticket to board one of those flights that crashed into one of the WTC towers..but she had a "weird feeling" and didn't get on that plane.

    Of course some of the religious nuts claimed that what saved Anne was that she is an "ex-lesbian" and had she stayed "gay" she would have been on that plane and would have died. Whatever !!

    But I wonder if that "Anne Heche-almost getting on the plane" was true or was it some sort of twisted PR thing?

    [SIZE=6]The Full Story[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=6]On The Steve Buscemi Stabbing Incident[/SIZE]

    In April, 2001, indie film darlings Steve Buscemi and Vince Vaughn were involved in a bar room brawl that left Vaughn in jail and Buscemi in the hospital.


    The incident took place at the Firebelly Lounge in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. The actors were on location shooting a John Travolta movie directed by Harold Becker, ironically entitled Domestic Disturbance.

    Vaughn, screenwriter Scott Rosenberg and two other Wilmington men were charged with misdemeanour assault following the fight. Steve Buscemi was not charged. All four were immediately released on bail. Timothy Fogerty, a 21-year-old Wilmington resident was charged Thursday with assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly stabbing Buscemi several times in the head, throat and arm. Buscemi was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. He was reportedly discharged Thursday afternoon and flew back to New York.

    Timothy Fogerty, eventually plead guilty to a reduced charge in the incident Thursday. Mr. Fogerty, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury. The intent to kill portion of the charge was dropped - slightly lessening the severity of the felony - in exchange for Mr. Fogerty's plea in New Hanover County Superior Court. He was sentenced to a minimum of 25 months in custody, all but 180 days of which will be suspended while he remains on supervised probation for three years. A college senior, Mr. Fogerty began serving his sentence in January, after the semester ended.

    [SIZE=4]Vince Vaughns Mugshot - For Other Celebrity Mugshots Click Here[/SIZE]


    [SIZE=6]What Actually Happened[/SIZE]

    Assistant District Attorney Jon David said in court Thursday that some of the bar's patrons were jealous of the actors' celebrity and hurled insults at them. Mr. Vaughn called for one unidentified man to meet him outside to continue the insults, Mr. David said.

    The prosecutor said a crowd heard the challenge and followed the two men into the street, where someone overheard Mr. Fogerty ask: "Who wants to get sliced?"

    The actor and the unidentified man wound up shaking hands, but the crowd remained agitated and the insults kept coming.

    Then, Mr. David said, Mr. Fogerty walked up to Mr. Buscemi and said, "Cool down, Steve." The actor was surprised that someone he didn't know would call him by name in that situation, especially since he wasn't upset.

    Mr. Fogerty waved a pocketknife menacingly at Mr. Buscemi, who tried to kick it out of his hand. That's when Mr. Fogerty "savagely attacked" the actor with the knife, cutting his head and neck and resulting in defensive wounds on Mr. Buscemi's hands, the prosecutor said.

    Mr. David said that afterward, Kenneth Robert Purgason of Wilmington, a friend of Mr. Fogerty, turned to Mr. Vaughn and said, "I'm happy Buscemi got stabbed," which started a fight among Mr. Vaughn, Mr. Rosenberg and Mr. Purgason.

    Most seriously injured in the protracted brawl was Mr. Buscemi, who underwent "extensive medical treatment," Mr. David said.

    Bill Peregoy, Mr. Fogerty's lawyer, said the prosecutor presented the most slanted version possible of the story. He said Mr. Vaughn started the confrontation while still inside the bar.

    A drunken, unruly crowd of 40 to 50 people poured into the street, where Mr. Vaughn delivered the first blow, knocking a man down, Mr. Peregoy said. "Vince Vaughn was an out-of-control individual that evening," the lawyer said.

    Mr. Peregoy later explained that his client has been under psychiatric care for about 18 months to control his anger and drinking.

    In addition, the night of the brawl, Mr. Fogerty was drinking alcohol while taking medication for anxiety, Mr. Peregoy said.

    In May, Mr. Purgason pleaded guilty to the charge, while Mr. Vaughn and Mr. Rosenberg entered Alford pleas, which is akin to pleading no contest.

    In court Thursday, Mr. Fogerty said his actions that night were "uncharacteristic."

    Assistant District Attorney Ben David, who prosecuted the case with his brother, said Mr. Fogerty "picked the right victim" in Mr. Buscemi, because the actor wanted Mr. Fogerty to get help for possible substance abuse and psychiatric problems.

    The state was seeking jail time , Ben David said.

    Judge Ben Alford ordered Mr. Fogerty to undergo psychiatric and substance abuse evaluations. He also ordered him to stay away from the Firebelly Lounge and Mr. Buscemi.

    Buscemi now has a noticeable scar on his cheek. Heavy make-up is used to hide it in movies.

    And Carl Switzer (Alfalfa) was shot or stabbed?

    Now this "shocking fact" is true. Not a person but a "what"

    Everyone knows the gay pride flag is a rainbow. But the gay pride flag for the gay bear guys, its a bit different.



    Who owns the copyright of the "bear" flag? Two lesbians !!!!
    How cool is THAT????? I heart my lesbian sisters and even though I only fill a fraction of "the mold", I identify myself as a member (membear) of the bear community.

    From what I hear, Tom Cruise slept with David Geffen to get the part in Interview With A Vampire.

    And the immortal James Dean, according to close friends, went to Chicago with a gay producer and as the producer put it... "James succumbed..."

    Dean's friends were disappointed by his way of getting TV roles.

    On another note, David Geffen lied about his UCLA education when he was hired at - I think - the William Morris Agency, and intercepted the mail that would have busted him.

    Wouldn't doubt ole Tom slept with ANY body for ANY role. He slept with Kidman, didn't he?

    As for James, we're all still talking about him and NOT his friends, so I guess JD had the last laugh. I don't begrudge anything a person does to make a living. I mean, your friends won't make your house payment, will they?
    This IS some juicy gossip though.

    I remember the news about Anne Heche. That recount is totally wrong. She was at Logan airport that morning to fly somewhere else. She was never scheduled to be on any of those planes, she was a celebrity who just happened to be at the airport that morning scheduled on another departing flight.

    It was Mark Wahlberg who had been scheduled to be on one of the Logan hi-jacked planes, but he changed his plans for unrelated reasons.

    Neither had any "weird feeling" and changed the flight.

    It was probably those people from Exodist who tried to turn the story about Anne Heche into their favor by saying she had tickets on that tragic flight rather than just being at the airport. Afterall I believe her mom his a member of that group and Exodist has somewhat of a track record of not exactly being the most honest of people either.

    Brian Keith's Stepmother was the Infamous Peg Entwhistle who jumped off of the Hollywoodland "H" letter. She was divorced from his father at the time of her suicide. I thought that was pretty shocking... she was pretty young when she jumped and I was shocked to know whe was married to Brian Keith's Father. Suicide must run in that family though they were not biologicaly related. Brian and his Daughter both committed suicide.

    come on now. who the hell was fucking anthony perkins back in the day?? homie was gay and knew it, he was into dudes not women. he got married in the 1970's because he claimed to be in love with a woman after being gay almost all his life. come now who is crazy enough to think he was getting pussy like that years ago. he may have had a few dates but i doubt anything else happened. he was just gay as they come. i believe he and the wife had an arrangement. he wanted kids and that was that.

    the actress who played Dottie (Elizabeth Dailey) in Pee Wee's Big Adventure was dating Jon Erik Hexum when he died. It happen fairly soon before Pee Wee filmed and in the scene where Pee Wee is laying on a stretcher, she was having panic attacks and they had to keep re-shooting because the death of her boyfriend was still too fresh in her mind.
