My precious daughter, Tammy Sue, and her wonderful friends are staying with me while Roe builds churches. They don't want me falling down the stairs. I am down weight wise to 65 pounds, and look like a scarecrow. I need God's miracle to swallow. To those of you who are suffering as I....."don't give up"!! Make up your mind you're going to LIVE !! That is NOT EASY! The path gets so long. I look at young people and wish with all my heart for just one day of 'feeling great'. You see, God gives out his promises, they do not lie, they do not fail. We do not have to BEG him for them, they are FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

• The New York Observer: "Bloated and stupid, this movie is so bad you can't even review it. Over-produced, over-publicized, over-designed, over-computerized and just plain over the moon, it's so preposterously overwrought with so many bewildering plots juggling simultaneously for over-emphasis, there's no entry point for criticism. You just stare at it, as you might a great big exploding pile of cow manure."
Katie Holmes Cruise is reportedly miffed because her husband Tom NEVER lets her leave the house alone with her baby Suri. She ALWAYS has to have a minder with her. Katie lamented "What does he think - that I want to run away with Suri?" Hmmm. Of course, that may be the LEAST of her problems. Tom just bought a new Beverly Hills home and we were told he plans to have four Scientology minders living conveniently in the guest house.

ER doctor and 8 Mile star, Mekhi Phifer, and an attractive date had a perfectly civilized dinner at Arnie Morton's steakhouse in Studio City. As they were leaving, Mekhi's date went outside to smoke and Mekhi paused to speak to someone. When Mekhi arrived outside he actually saw a man SPEAKING TO his date! The enraged actor grabbed an empty beer bottle from a patio table and SMASHED the startled guy right in the face, flattening him! The bleeding victim was hustled off the the emergency room and Mekhi and his horrified date scrammed in a hurry. The next day the victim returned to the restaurant and he had stitches all over his face. He explained "I was just asking that woman for a cigarette." We predict a lawsuit is brewing here.
Isaiah Washington, who came under fire after using an anti-gay slur, will appear in a public service announcement on behalf of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network. “We’re gonna have — I want to say at least two versions of it at this point. We may broaden our message a little,” the actor’s publicist, Howard Bragman, told The Associated Press in a phone interview Wednesday. Washington ran into trouble at the Golden Globe Awards in January after he used an anti-gay slur during a backstage press conference while denying he’d used it previously against “Grey’s Anatomy” castmate T.R. Knight. People magazine reported last October that Washington had allegedly used the slur during an on-set dustup with co-star Patrick Dempsey. Knight said soon after the incident that he was gay. After being criticized by GLAAD, a gay and lesbian advocacy group, and the ABC network, Washington issued an apology and sought counseling. Bragman said ABC, which is owned by The Walt Disney Co., was planning to shoot the ad in the next few weeks. A call to ABC seeking comment wasn’t immediately returned. Bragman said Washington, 43, plans to return to “Grey’s Anatomy” next year. “We’ve heard nothing to the contrary, and we have no plans to the contrary,” Bragman said. The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network seeks to ensure that schools safely accommodate students of all sexual orientations.
“The thing about the press and why they need to leave me the fuck alone for a little bit is because I don’t want that distraction from my work. I want to get a nomination. I want to win an Oscar. I want to be known for more than, like, going out. For being ‘the party girl.’ I hate that. I bust my ass when I’m filming, and when I gave time off, yeah, I like to go out and dance.”
