  DJ AM Attends Memorial Service for Chris Baker

  Posted: September 30th, 2008, 11:17am CDT by Spicy Pants

  Tags:  Celebrity tragedy  

  

  DJ AM made his first public appearance Monday when he attended the memorial service for his friend Chris Baker who was killed in the tragic Learjet crash on September 20th.

  He arrived in a green polo shirt, which was the color everyone was asked to wear to honor the memory of Baker, 29.

  More than 300 people showed up to the service which lasted 2 hours. Baker was remembered by many who stood up to share their experiences.

  Baker was Travis Barker’s “right hand man,” and Barker is said to be devastated at the loss of his good friend.  He was unable to attend services as he himself was just released from the hospital burn center.  He is heading back to Los Angeles as we speak - on a bus.

  Baker is survived by his wife, Otillia Villar, and 2-year-old son, Sebastian.

  Well, it looks like Adam did not suffer the insanely awful facial burns as had been reported earlier. Obviously his facial hair was singed off, but he is one lucky boy to be in as good of shape as he is!

  Travis Barker Back in L.A. in Two Weeks

  Posted: September 26th, 2008, 11:51am CDT by Spicy Pants

  Tags:  Celebrity tragedy  

  

  After last weeks tragic plane crash that killed four people and left Travis Barker and DJ AM badly burned, fans have been anxious to find out the condition of the surviving men.

  Jermaine Dupri visited Barker in the hospital last Sunday and says his buddy is recovering nicely - both emotionally and physically.

  “He’s doing good, he’s gonna be alright. He’s just got a lot of healing to do. He’s supposed to send a message out to everybody in a couple of days to let everybody know that he’s feeling better. He’s definitely feeling the love from everyone.”

  Barker has been made more comfortable in a customized hospital room, where he can work and communicate with the outside world.

  Dupri explains, “He’s just now getting everything in the hospital set up for him – iPods, computers, everything that he needs. You got to make sure he is comfortable.”

  “I think everything will be cool when I get back there [to see him]. He’ll probably be up and talking crazy and all that – back to his old self.”

  Family Releases John Graziano Video

  Graziano’s hole

  I’ll just warn you now, this video is very disturbing.

  In it you can see just how bad Graziano was injured - half his skull is missing.

  Equally disturbing is the soundtrack that goes along with the video, so I’d suggest turning the volume off.

  Jared Paul Stern's Lawyer Needs an Editor [Tragedy]

  Posted: June 18th, 2008, 9:18am CDT by Pareene

  Tags:  tragedy  

  Former Page Six gossip Jared Paul Stern famously lost his job when he was accused of trying to extort zillionaire supermarket magnate Ron Burkle. No charges were ever filed. So Jared filed a defamation suit against Burkle—and Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Secret Service agent Frank Renzi, flack Mike Sitrick, and Daily News reporter William Sherman. Bad news, Stern fans: a judge has dismissed the suit. He dismissed it with great prejudice and even a little literary criticism. "A New York State Supreme Court justice trashed Jared Paul Stern's lawsuit in his decision, saying it read more like a 'Mickey Spillane novel' than a carefully argued statement of law." Ouch. James Cain—or even Jim Thompson!—would be one thing, but you really don't want your legal brief reading as ham-fisted as a Mike Hammer book. Is this the end of little Jared? No. No, it is not.

  Stern promises to appeal the ruling, first off. Which will be fun. And Stern is still suing his former employers at the New York Post! In Florida. Because Stern's lawyer Larry Klayman is a conservative political activist who keeps suing the Clintons over and over again, so now he's only only allowed to argue cases in Florida, Pennsylvania, and D.C.. Maybe some sun will do Stern good?

  And hey, Stern should still look on the bright side. His life may be in shambles, but at least he's not one of the two former Page Six contributors currently in jail for statutory rape or theft. He's not even reduced to writing for Gawker! (Anymore.)

  Larry Birkhead Pimps Out Baby Dannielynn at Her Mother’s Grave

  Posted: February 6th, 2008, 8:35am CST by Spicy Pants

  Tags:  Celebrity tragedy  

  

  Larry Birkhead took baby Dannielynn back to Nassau to visit her mother and brother’s graves for the first time. Fair enough. But it seems he decided to take a camera crew with them. Why?

  Baby Dannielynn, now 17 months-old, was subjected to photographs and a reporter from Entertainment Tonight leering over her as she visited her family’s grave sites for the first time in her short life.

  Is this fair to her? Sensationalizing the situation is terribly selfish and could be detrimental to the poor kid. But daddy seems to think it’s fine and so he let ET film everything and then told them how hard it is. “It’s tough,” he says. “Even though she doesn’t understand, it was important for us to come. One day I can tell her that we went to visit her mom.”

  He makes it sound so innocent, but I can’t help but think the whole thing was plotted out like a photo shoot. All for some coin, I’m sure. Why else? I guess what really set it off for me was when I read about Dannielynn visiting the site.

  From ET:

  “When they arrived at the unmarked gravesites, Dannielynn placed a pink toy turtle on Anna Nicole’s plot and said, ‘Mama.’”

  Was she trained or what? It all sounds so staged! Shame on you Larry Birkhead. Let your daughter grow up with a little privacy, she’s already going to be screwed up as it is.

  Britney Spears ‘Went Psycho’ on the Way to the Hospital

  Posted: January 4th, 2008, 10:50am CST by Spicy Pants

  Tags:  Celebrity tragedy  

  

  Us magazine is reporting that Britney Spears went totally psycho on the gurney in the ambulance as she was taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital last night.
  
  A source recalled, “They had to strap her down like a mental patient and she was going between laughing and hysterics. [It was] a total psychotic breakdown. She just went crazy.”

  Another source, close to Spears added, “I guess she has good days and bad days - it’s mental instability. All she has is to think of something sad and she goes crazy.”

  

  Britney has been labeled as a “special needs” patient. This is only reserved for those who have “either overdosed or tried to commit suicide.” Patients are monitored and watched closely at all times.

  We also know this morning that Sean Preston as well as little brother Jayden James, were BOTH taken to the hospital after the ordeal but were released at approximately 4AM this morning.

  Britney is being placed on a 72-hour mental lockdown.

  KFed’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, is in court this morning to try and rid Spears of any visitation rights. Her lawyer, Tara Scott from the law firm of Trope and Trope, will still be representing Spears even though the firm has asked to withdraw as counsel.

  ________________

  UPDATES:

  - A gossip guru on Today (NBC) said that Britney hadn’t eaten or slept in days.

  - Life & Style is reporting that Britney was NOT on drugs - that her blood tests came back negative for any illegal substances or alcohol. Now, take this with a grain of salt until it’s confirmed of course. This is according to an unnamed source. Remember, police believe Britney was on something. So, we’ll have to wait this one out to know for sure.

  -There was an emergency custody hearing this morning, which Kevin Federline attended. It has since ended but will reconvene at 1:30PM PST. Kevin Federline may testify..

  -The Spears’ clan is said to be terrified. Dad Jamie has been at the hospital since last night and her brother Bryan is supposed to arrive sometime today. Britney’s mom Lynne, has been in contact with Britney but is heading to the family’s hometown of Kentwood, La with pregnant daughter Jamie Lynn. Lynn says she is “extremely distraught” and added, “Just say prayers.”

  - Britney will not be charged with anything having to do with the stand off at her home last night. LAPD Officer Harding stated, “We aren’t charging her with anything at this time. She is at the [hospital] for her own health and welfare.”

  Britney Spears Hospitalized for Evaluation!

  Posted: January 4th, 2008, 7:39am CST by Spicy Pants

  Tags:  Celebrity tragedy  

  

  As I reported earlier, police were called to Britney’s home after she refused to hand the boys over to Kevin Federline’s bodyguard even though her visitation was over.

  It took three hours after police arrived to diffuse the situation, and it ended with Brit being taken away in an ambulance on a gurney.

  LAPD Officer Jason Lee stated,

  “While officers were on the scene, they observed Ms. Spears under the influence of an unknown substance. She is now being taken in for an evaluation, more than likely to a hospital. There were no reported injuries to anyone involved including the children.”

  However, reports are coming in that Jayden James was also taken away in an ambulance, although it’s not known why at this point.

  Britney’s dad, KFed and the boys all were seen at the hospital after she arrived.

  The scene was crazy with tons of cops, police cars, fire trucks, a couple ambulances and even a police helicopter in the immediate area.

  

  I’m sorry but, I am thrilled this is happening. She needs to get her shit together or something terrible is going to happen. Just the fact that the boys are subjected to this bullshit constantly is terrible enough. She needs to lose the kids. Hell, they need to lose her. Until she can take care of herself she cannot take care of her babies. Period.
