Of Sleeping Pill Overdose and Good News

Another sad story is the apparent depression of Alexa Ray Joel. For those of you who don’t know her, she is a new singer trying to make it big in the big time. But honestly, she doesn’t have to. She is the daughter of Billy Joel and supermodel mom Christie Brinkley. Anyway, Alexa was hospitalized because she reportedly took an overdose of Traumeel pills, a homeopathic medication. This act was supposedly to bring back her lost love, Jimmy Riot. Apparently, the ploy did not work and rather backfired on Alexa. When things like these happen, one gets to think about families getting broken. Because families get broken, the lives of children are severely affected and they carry it to adulthood. That is why I really hope that Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren really do make up.

Anyway, the pretty lassie turned vamp is back. Here is Lindsay Lohan and her photo shoot with Muse Magazine. Just last night, I watched a re-run of Herbie: Fully Loaded. LiLo still looked so sweet. I also still vividly remember her stint as a twin in Parent Trap. What happened to her? To the sweet little girl. Sigh…what misguided fame can do to a person. Anyway, Lindsay is featured in Muse Magazine, and for me, the photos are hardly amusing. Honestly, they don’t look artistic at all. But it just shows how Lindsay is now as a person. I don’t want to say it, I will leave it to you to decide. However, I don’t want to post the photos here, too much for my blog. But here is the cover of the magazine. You decide.

Now the good news, lest you think that I only bring depressing news. American Idol and Christian singer Carrie Underwood had a Christmas TV Special entitled An All-Start Holiday Special. But it is not the run of the mill holiday presentation complete with Santa Claus and faux snow. It was a little of everything. And she had guests like Dolly Parton, David Cook, Chenoweth and Christine Applegate. So many people loved it, even critics. She is making waves. Way to go, girl!

Elin Nordegren Moves Out

Without much surprise, Elin Nordegren, model and wife of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, has reportedly moved out of their home and is staying with friends. It comes as no surprise, after all the hoopla that has come out after Tiger’s vehicular accident. Although Elin might know of Tiger’s “affairs”, it is different when the media is feasting on it. The effect is different, the shame and humiliation more painful. But I do hope that they be able to reconcile and become happy as a family once again. Despite one’s success in career, one’s happiness at home could not be equalled.

On another light, reality star Michelle Duggar was rushed to the hospital for contractions. But it was said that the pain was because of gallbladder problems and not because of her being pregnant with her 19th child. It can be remembered that Michelle’s claim to fame is her reality show 18 Kids And Counting. It is no surprise really.I read somewhere that gallbladder stones usually occur when a woman is pregnant. That is why before I got pregnant, part of my preparation was a gallbladder cleanse. I did it twice, and so many gall stones came out of me. It was a natural cleanse. But I am due for another one because I gave birth 8 months ago already.

By the way, 18 kids and counting??? This is one tough woman!
