GG Cares About Juvenile Diabetes

Type 1 or juvenile diabetes as it is commonly called is a disorder of the bodys immune system. The immune system attacks and destroys cells called beta cells, which are in the stomach. Beta cells produce insulin, which helps move the glucose in the food through out the body, helping energize the body. However when these cells are destroyed the glucose can't be moved and stays in the blood, which can cause organ damage. Therefore a person who has suffers from this disease has to take insulin in order to stay alive.

Generally type 1 diabetes is diagnosed in children, teens, and young adults. While the cause is not yet known, it is believed that genetic, environmental, autoimmune factors are involved.  Symptoms may include a sweet, fruity, wine like odor; increased appetite, rapid weight loss, heavy breathing. If you or someone you love are experiencing any of these symptoms please contact your physician immediately and get tested for diabetes.

However there is still hope. According to Gossiper Laura Gisel, who is a mother to the beautiful little girl in the picture above scientist are working on a cure. "There is some good news, though. For the first time, scientists are predicting that we CAN expect to see a cure well within our lifetime!"  In order to help find the cure Laura along with another half million people are walking for a cure, in hopes of raising $100 million dollars. If you would like to help them achieve this goal, here is the link to donate.

Favorites:GG Exposes Tommy Mottola

I read through all of the GG Investigates and GG Exposes and my favorite story on the entire site is GG Exposes Tommy Mottola. It's about time someone went after that scum, the way he treats women. Good for you, May the site long live and tackle some of the other creeps!! ~Becca

This week the man in the middle of some of the most scandalous Lohan drama was not patriarch Michael but rather Former Head of  Sony Music, Tommy Mottola. In a tweet that has been attributed to a hacker on Michael Lohans account was an accusation that the powerful man had an affair with a then 17 year old Lindsay Lohan.Lindsay offered this denial about her father " why wouldn’t he lie on Twitter, and everywhere else!"

Before we deal with this scandal let's move reverse time for a bit.  Back in the 70's Tommy converted to Judaism and married Lisa Clark. The couple appeared to be happy until a soon to be superstar came roaring into their lives. In 1992 Lisa and Tommy divorced and within months in 1993 Tommy married Mariah Carey.

Mariah and Tommy were only married a short time. The marriage was not a happy one for Mariah who told Allure magazine "I longed for someone to come kidnap me back then. I used to fantasise about that a lot. I'd have my pocketbook with me at all times in case I had to make an escape." Rumors that Tommy would spy on her and told servants not to look his bride in the eye have yet to be confirmed but they were not denied either. 


They seperated in 1997, with the divorce being finalized a year later. After his second divorce and before his third marriage he dated a variety of women, including Jennifer Lopez. He was credited with helping her get her music career off the ground. That help though has landed him and her as the main suspects in the MV blind item. The blind says in essence a back up singer was singing tracks for the 'real' star because the back up singer didn't have the right look. She was paid handsomely for the job but then the checks stopped coming in and she went to CDAN runner Enty Lawyer and had him help her take care of the problem. It was soon settled, and it became the most popular blind item over at CDAN. For a while popular guessed included Shania Twain and Britney Spears, however clues soon pointed to Jennifer Lopez and Tommy as the orchestrator. Only 4 people know if this guess is correct and they are not talking. 


After his string of high profile girlfriends, he settled down with Mexican singing star Thalia in 2000. In 2002 the king of pop Michael Jackson accused Tommy of being a racist. It started small "Tommy Mottola is a devil." then Michael started expounding on his immense displeasure with Tommy "mean ... a racist ... and very, very, very devilish."

2003 is when Tommy is accused of having the affair with a then 17 year old Lindsay Lohan. It was during this time that the troubled starlet was recording her first album which Tommy was an executive producer on. A year later in 2004 it was widely reported that Thalia had filed for divorce. The singer quickly tries to squash those rumors but they never went away.

Only time will tell if Tommy will ever confess to alleged affair he had with Lindsay or any number of the scandals that have rocked his life in the past 10 years, though it is not very likely.

Favorites: GG Investigates "Nemesis"

I personally found the GG Investigates on "Frenzy" to be enlightening and educational, especially seeing as I have teenagers and had no clue about this horrid drug. Thank You for being on top of things. My husband and I love Generation Gossip!!! Thank You. Love, Marie

A new drug is making the rounds on the party scene and causing a "Frenzy." The drug BZP, which is also known as "Nemesis" or "Frenzy" is similar to Ecstasy in it's chemical make up and in the effects it has on you. Because it is legal in Canada, the drug is being transported over to Michigan very easily Rich Isaacson, who is a Drug Enforcement Administration special agent "Because of our geographic location, there's likely to be more availability of BZP in this area,Frequently it's been sold as Ecstasy, but in reality BZP mimics amphetamines more than Ecstasy."

It's form is usually in the shape of popular cartoon characters such as Bart and Homer Simpson, or in some cases it is formed to resemble President Obama. Late last month Michigan State Representative Lisa Brown targeted the drug saying "Michigan laws must keep pace with new dangerous drugs as they emerge to protect our children and families, "My plan gives law enforcement officials and prosecutors in Michigan the tools they need to keep this drug off the street and punish those individuals who are marketing and selling it directly to our kids. We need to take action immediately. BZP is growing in popularity and poses an addictive and deadly threat to our young people."

Buying the drug is as easy as doing a google search for it. One site encourages you to stock up, another lists the drug as a dietary supplement. When in fact the federal government declared that it had no legitimate medicinal purpose and is considered to have high addiction potential.

Mandy's Musings: Who Do They Think They're Writing For?

By Mandy Bates

In response to Generation Gossip Investigates: How can Soaps Survive and Thrive?

Who Do They Think They’re Writing For?

Daytime TV has finally become the horribly written, cheesy quasi-drama that non-viewers have been calling it for years. Do the writers even have a clue who they’re writing for? Once upon a time, they were writing for housewives who actually had access to a TV (or long ago, a radio) during the day. But with housewives came their kids, kids who have grown up watching soaps and continue to do so now that they’re adults thanks to VCRs (which I still use), DVR and the Soap Net channel. These people are not only housewives but educated professionals, and the filth that the daytime writers are throwing at us is insulting. Okay, fine, they don’t have to actually be a doctor to write for them, but at least hit up wikipedia before throwing out a bunch of terms that people who are actually in the medical field laugh at. Or, better yet, stop recycling storylines and taking them from the other soaps. Didn’t they have to take a creative writing course in college? Did they even go to college?

Let me just say that I am a soap fan. I’ve been watching All My Children since before I can remember, and when my mom was a housewife way back when, we watched General Hospital (which I must admit I’ve stopped watching). Recently I’ve started watching One Life to Live but I’ve only got a few months of that under my belt. For a while there, I thought OLTL was much better than AMC, but lately, I think they both suck.

Okay, fine, the writers want me to believe yet another back-from-the-dead story. I get it. Actors leave, they get promised stuff, they come back. Fine. But am I really supposed to be on board with everything that comes with it? Okay, it made for great drama when All My Children’s Greenlee (Rebecca Buddig) found “the love of her life” Ryan (Cameron Mathison) in bed with her arch enemy, Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and vowed revenge. But then we’re supposed to jump on the Rylee (Ryan and Greenlee) train because Ryan knows what’s best for Greenlee? We’re supposed to swoon over the fact that he kidnapped her, threw her over his shoulder after her having had back surgery, and locked her in a room even though he knows she’s claustrophobic? That he’s in her face every time she turns around promising he’ll stay away? Manipulated her employee into putting them together yet again? Seriously, writers, this is not how you get fans.

And that’s not the only crap they’re showing us on AMC. Not only do we have to deal with insulting cavemen, we also have a college-age spoiled brat and her on-again/off-again dying brother trying to get rid of the wicked stepmother. Colby (Natalie Hall) and J.R. (Jacob Young) are doing nothing but making me feel bad for Annie (Melissa Claire Egan), so soon after the writers tried to get us to hate her for framing her daughter. The writers seriously need to decide if Annie is a good guy or a bad guy and write her that way. I feel really sorry for the girl, which is probably not what I’m supposed to feel. And by the way, can someone either get Brittany Allen (Marissa) acting lessons or write her off the show? The girl needs to learn how to not smile with every line she delivers. Happy, sad, crying, yelling, it’s all smiles for her. Besides, Marissa is probably the most boring character I’ve ever seen. She could have had a great storyline, what with being sold at birth and all, but no, I’m bored to tears by her.

And I’m angered beyond all at the supposed Chief of Police, Jesse Hubbard (Darnell Williams). This guy takes more liberty with the law than Billy the Kid. How many kidnappings has he been in on now, three? There was Kendall, Annie, and I’m not sure if he knew about Erica taking David recently, but I’m pretty sure he just plain wouldn’t care. He constantly talks down to everyone, jumped on the Ryan train, and treats his daughter like a piece of trash. Hmm… that’s right, his 20 year old daughter. But wait, wasn’t he in the “witness protection program” for 20 years? Didn’t take him too long to get over his old family and get a new one. Maybe that new family had a head start, and that’s why he had to “donate his organs.” And constantly shoving Natalia (Shannon Kane) to the backburner for more important things in his life, like Zach (Thorsten Kaye) and David. No wonder the poor kid became a cop, she thought she’d get some attention from her daddy. But all her daddy wants to do is tell her she’s wrong (when she’s right, anyone remember her investigation into Stuart’s death) and throw it in her face that she’s only a rookie. But wait! He can use her to get David, right? Let’s fire the rookie and tell her if she models for Fusion that she can be a detective! Give me a break. Not only are they writing Jesse as a horrible person/father, he’s the most crooked chief of police since Stanley Lowell on OLTL. Makes me sorta miss Lowell. At least you could understand why he was doing what he was doing. With Jesse, it’s really hard to grasp him putting all these people ahead of his family and (lack of) morals.

Let’s hop over to One Life to Live. Can Jessica (Bree Williamson) grow up, please? This is ridiculous. I’m sure if someone woke up thinking it was 11 years ago, they’d be all sorts of confused. And probably all kinds of hurt. But can Jessica please stop stalking Christian (David Fumero)? It’s getting really old. How many times does he have to tell Jessica no? How many times do we have to listen to her whine about her knowing how he feels? Knowing they belong together, knowing… wait, did she turn into Ryan on AMC? Sure sounds like it… Anyway, get over it Jess. I am.

And her brother Rex (John-Paul Lavoisier) needs to get off my screen, too. Let’s face it, the guy can’t act. He portrays Rex as nothing more than a Neanderthal cartoon. His facial expressions are too over the top for stage acting, let alone television. And the character really needs to get over himself and accept some blame. All he can ever do is accuse and blame everything on everyone else, nothing is ever his fault. He seems to find joy in rubbing people’s faces in their mistakes, although he himself has never made one. He’s got no respect for anyone except maybe Bo, but even that is debatable. Maybe John-Paul should move over to Disney channel. The kids really go crazy for the over-emphasized faces and running into tables stuff.

This is quite refreshing! I usually post on the Soap Central boards, and we get yelled at and posts deleted if we dare speak ill of an actor. We can’t attack them or hurt their feelings. Don’t get me wrong, the Soap Central boards are great, fun, and I love them, but some of the moderators are way up on high horses. Besides, if the actors are gonna get their feelings hurt, they can either not read the boards, or deal with it. It’s called life. If you suck, you’re gonna get called out on it. But then, this is the age of the trophies where everyone is a winner, which is a subject for another day.

And so I come to my final point of daytime writers: Kish! Kish is what viewers have nicknamed the couple of Kyle and Fish (Brett Claywell and Scott Evans). The Kish storyline is probably the only one that was well-written. In fact, I think it’s the best storyline on a soap since Michael Cambius invaded Pine Valley (wrong show, I know, just sayin’…) Viewers have fallen in love with Kish, especially since Fish finally came out of the closet at the mass gay wedding, defending against the gay bashers while he was supposed to be keeping order. But no. We finally get a great storyline, one that can continue to be great, with incredible actors, and they get fired. Click here and here and here for all the details. I’m just super disappointed. The greatest storyline of our generation and it’s gone. They really don’t care who they’re writing for, as long as they’re getting that fat paycheck.

Favorites: Royal Rant: Why Kish Was Fired

I chose the Kish Royal Rant as my favorite because Kish actually made soaps watchable again. Every now and then, a soap will have a character with some rare disease and the actors involved in the storyline will do a PSA after the episode. That used to be the extent of soaps touching on reality. Now I realize that we watch soaps to escape reality for a little while, but seriously, they need to be believable, at least a little bit, to keep our attention! With Kish, they showed the development of two characters that are very real and relatable. Okay, maybe none of us are med school students who got kicked out for blackmailing the people that got us to lie about their illegal activity, but gay and straight alike could relate to Kyle still being in love with Oliver after all this time and trying to win him back, and attempting to move on when he was denied, but then some big dramatic event (the gay marriage rally) brings them back together. Then Oliver becoming a single parent overnight and Kyle saying he'd stand by him and help him raise the baby. I also think this storyline opened a lot of people's eyes showing that gay love is just like any other love. They aren't perverts and don't try to corrupt children and turn all other men around them gay. They go to work, go to school, pay their rent and spend time together just like everyone else.

And now to my point of why this is my favorite Rant: Royal Eduardo said what all Kish fans were thinking: How could this happen? How could actors/writers/producers let the best storyline to hit daytime in ages let it all just fall apart? Grow up and bring us back our Kish! ~Mandy


Last week was the firing heard around daytime. Beloved super couple Kyle and Fish (KISH to OLTL fans) were let go. But wait not really, Scott Evans (Oliver Fish) was never put on contract, and has been recurring with the show since his debut, so really only Brett Claywell (Kyle) was let go.

Immediately fans were outraged and accused ABC of having an anti-gay agenda, yet Scott Clifton (Schulyer Jones) was fired and there was no outrage. I love KISH and want them to stay, however if the rumors are to be believed pat of the reason they were actually let go is because one (believed to be Brett) was partying to hard, held up taping and caused delays in the production schedule. I can see why they may let him go, truly if anyone was to show up to work drunk or cost your company a ton of money you would lose your job. If Brett was the problem then recast him, keep the character around have him in the other room, at the hospital until the role is able to be recast with someone as talented as Brett Claywell.

Of course there is the other half of KISH to think about. As it was stated Scott Evans was never offered a contact, and has been on recurring since he began on the show. While a lot has been of the KISH firings, it's simply not true of Scott, his status remains unchanged. The biggest reasoning behind his being involved in the "firing" is because he is not available and it was causing production issues, and massive rewriting of major story. A "source" said “[The other actor] was ‘not available’ on certain days, making for massive rewrites and rescheduling. One Life fought so hard to blaze this trail and now they’re being punished for it. Unlike Brett, Scott had no incentive to make himself available whenever the show choose to use him. He was not on contract when clearly he should have been, not only was part of a major story but he is one of the most popular actors on the show. If they had offered him a contract he would have been forced to show up and it would have shown the support to the ongoing story.

Why support, or make an argument for Scott but Brett? First and foremost Scott had no control over his situation and had no responsibility to OLTL because they refused to sign him to a contract. Brett clearly made bad choices and should be punished for his actions. While it needs not be said again, KISH is one major attraction to the show and they should salvage those characters as best they can. Put Scott on contract and have him play out a story with Dorian Lord (Robin Strasser) maybe Fish is a long lost Cramer male. This way fans still get to see a popular character and actor on the show. Of course this could all be moot seeing as how Scott is rumored to be up for a pilot, something he hinted at on his twitter account "I have some pretty big decisions to make. Things are definitely gonna change"  he then debunked the theory that he planned on leaving OLTL "I have no plans to leave OLTL everyone. It's not even really in my hands!" And he reiterated that again the day the news broke "Anyone who thought my tweets were foreshadowing, that is not the case. Tweets were for something completely different. This is news to me." 


At the end of the day neither Scott or Brett will have trouble securing work, and seeing as how Scott is still recurring it shouldn't be  too hard to convince him to sign a contract. OLTL owes it to the audience to see this "trailblazing" story to the end. What was and will be seen in the coming days is not the end of this story. Gay characters should be given the same respect as their straight counterparts. Affairs, amnesia, if they want to make a political statement, have Fish get shot in the line of duty and Kyle not be able to see him because they are not married. Or be honest with the audience and say one actor is a drunk and the other is not available, so they have to be written off for a bit until things can be worked out.

Favorites: Profile Of The Week: Idina Menzel

I enjoyed this profile because it showcased the story of her life beginning with her first role in Rent and moving on to her married life with Taye Diggs. It also had information that is not widely known. ~Dave 

Idina Menzel never ceases to amaze. Her first professional role was as Maureen in Rent, and netted her her first Tony nomination in 1997. She moved on to some other huge roles including originating the role of Dorothy in Summer of '42, Shelia in Hair and Amneris in Aida. In 2003 her life would change forever; she would be cast in a little musical called Wicked.

Her role as Elphabab would bring her to the national spotlight along with 'frienimie' Kristin Chenoweth. Rumors of an alleged rivalry between the two powerhouse actress began almost immediately. Kristin for her part has denied they hate one another, saying that when you're in a production like that it's like a "family"

She cracked her rib on her third to last performance and was not able to perform, however on January 9, 2005 what would have been her final performance, she made a special out of costume appearance and sang her last song. For that rendition she received a 5 minute long standing ovation. She would also walk away wit a Tony for best leading actress in a musical.

Idina is married to Private Practice star Taye Diggs,and the couple have a son. Idina has been married to Taye for 7 years and they dated for another 7 before that. Both are involved in TV projects at the moment. Taye of course is on the ABC hit Private Practice, and Idina is guest starring on the hotter than ever Glee. Will she reunite with former co-star and alleged enemy Kristin, who is also reprising her role as April? No one is commenting but it is very doubtful at this point, sadly.

GG Cares About Leukemia Lymphoma

One favorite plot device of writers, especially Television drama writers is for their hero or heroine to be diagnosed with lymphoma. After weeks, maybe months of deteriorating health, the character makes a miraculous recovery, usually just in time for sweeps.

 Lymphoma and leukemia are blood cancers that originate in the bone marrow or the lymphatic tissues. They are related cancers because they involve uncontrollable growth of cells with similar functions and origins. One single damaged cell becomes abnormal and multiplies continuously. All of the bad cells stops the body's production of healthy cells. The reality however is not as pretty as TV would have us believe, unfortunately many people do not survive, and if they do rebuilding their life is not easy.

Take the De Villers. Back in 1949 they were devastated when they lost their young son Robert, he was only  16 years old. to leukemia. Instead of becoming depressed, the family took action and founded the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). The organizations mission is to "Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS has dedicated itself to being one of the top-rated voluntary health agencies in terms of dollars that directly fund our mission."

Part of  LLS is Team In Training. TNT as it commonly called was founded by Bruce Clealand, whose daughter Georgia had survived Leukemia. the avid runner put together a team of runner to to  run a marathon and  raise funds. In 1988, when it was founded they raised over $322,000!!! Because of Bruce and the Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter of  LLS TNT was founded and has been going strong ever since.

For Gossiper Jennifer Bridges the cause hits very close to home. One of her dearest friends was diagnosed with Lymphoma and has been bravely battling the disease since September. Here is what Jennifer says in her own words. "I'm personally taking part in this because a good friend of mine is a lymphoma patient. He finished chemo in January, but the cancer was back just six weeks later. He's currently taking an experimental drug in the hopes it will, at the very least, slow down or stop the progression of the disease. While surfing the internet for more information about the drug, I came across a link to Team in Training, and immediately realized I HAD to sign up. Through TNT, you can choose to train for a marathon, a half-marathon walk, a 100-mile bike ride, a triathalon, or a hiking adventure. I chose the hike, partially because it seemed interesting, and partially because it's the event my friend would do if he were able. To participate in this hike, I need to raise a minimum of $3650 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, but I'd like to try for an even $4K."

 This is a call Gossipers, please help Jen raise enough money to go on this hike and help her friend as well as all of the other cancer patients around the world. To donate click here

Royal Recomends: Theodore Boone

John Grisham is a master story teller, his books are almost instantly best sellers and the topic of book club selections for months after their release. So far he has tackled a book of Short Stories, Ford County, numerous novels almost always focusing on some law that was broke and the adventure that follows our hero, and there is of course his first and thus far only foray into non-fiction The Innocent Man.

Now Grisham has his eyes set on a whole new generation of readers. With Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer he is turning his attention to the younger readers, and instead of talking down to them he has wrote a challenging, engaging book. Theodore Boone is 13 years old and beloved by the judges, police officers and just about everyone else in town. Theo's (as he likes to be called) parents are both lawyers who work together, and after school Theo goes to the law offices and works diligently on his homework, sometimes taking time out to help other kids with grown up problems.

This ends up becoming a big problem, and the thrust of the book, when a homeless boy from El Salvador confides in Theo that his cousin was a witness to a murder, one that is being tried as they speak. The man accused of the crime is of course guilty but because he planned the perfect murder and has a great lawyer. The cousin can not come forward for one very big, delicate reason, he is an illegal alien.

Many adults may think the story is too complicated but with Grishams usual writing style, and easy prose he unfolds the story at a clipped pace, allowing the books themes to set in  before showcasing yet another side to the story. Central themes to the story are as always what is right and wrong: Is it wrong that a 19 year old illegal immigrant will be deported and possibly jailed for being in the country illegally just because he happened to be a witness to a horrible crime. On the other hand is it ok that a man who murdered his wife in cold blood, gets away with that crime because the only witness can not come forward?

Theodore Boone, the boy who is at the center of the drama, the boy who has the moral dilemmas to figure out, is one of the most believable kids to appear in literature. Of course the straight A student would long to play sports, instead of studying all the time. He would have a crush on a married pregnant lady (the crush developed before the pregnancy)Theo is charged with dealing with this situation and he doesn't snap to a judgment and deal with the consequences, that is never Grishams style, he researches and comes to his own conclusions by looking into matters.

By not moralizing, letting readers draw their own conclusions Grisham has created a topsy turvy thriller for children and adults . In what is sure to become a new series for the best selling author, he has created a world where the adults are not always right, and the hero still needs to grow up, though not too fast we hope.

Helping Hand

Royal,

I am a 48 year old woman. I love this site, particularly Helping Hand, which is what I'm writing for right now. I recently found a bump on my breast and fear I have breast cancer. I have a strong marriage and loving children (2 boys and a girl, all in their teens.) but I am afraid that this is too much for them to take if I do have cancer. I wish I knew what the right thing to do is, I don't want to risk my health but at the same time, I can't out all that stress on my family. Royal please tell me what you would do. ~Health Hazard

HH,

Stop making excuses and get to the doctors office right away. Your family is there to support you and your husband took vows to be there in sickness and health. Right now the most important thing is getting yourself looked at,and finding out if you are sick or not. Please email and let us know what your diagnosis is.

Royal,

This is sort of an odd question but I have to ask. My boyfriend and I recently had a conversation where he said that he will never have sex with me. Let me clarify we do have sex just no penetration, and I found his statement to be odd, seeing as how many people warned me that he was a slut when he was younger. Should I be concerned that he's not attracted to me or should I be honored that he doesn't want to discard me like the rest of the boys he slept with. ~Shaken Up

Shaken,

I don't think I fully understand what you're trying to say but I will try to help as best as I can. If you are concerned about the fact that your bf isn't wanting to penetrate then I have to say that if it's that important you need to speak with him about it, If you're jealous of what may have happened in the past, you need to get over it, whatever happened in the past, happened and it made him who he is today so enjoy it.

Gossipers Have Their Say

Royal,

What happened to my favorite column, weekly wrap up? I relied on it to get my gossip fill for the week, and suddenly it wasn't there anymore!! Please don't tell me you've discontinued it, I need it and I am sure there are many others who feel the same way that I do.

That being said I do have to commend you on the awesome job you did on the Scientology expose that you did. I have recommended it to all my friends and many of them have become fans of the site because of it. They like me are sick of the snarkiness that comes with reading some of the other sites, yes it may be popular and yes you may get more hits but to us there is such a thing as journalistic integrity and you royal, you have it.

~Sarah

Royal,

As an active Scientologist I am appalled that you would write such a hate filled story. How dare you write such a biased, unfair account of something you know nothing about. Sure some of the people you talked about were alleged exes but they obviously were not in the same religion as I am. Scientology is first and foremost about helping people. Homosexuality is a disease that needs to be cured, and one way to do that is by counseling.

Seeing as how you are gay yourself I doubt my letter will be shared with the public, instead you will opt for the letters praising you for the courageous stories you did. I am very disappointed that you would go forward with such a story when you have built your reputation on being unbiased, and yet you show nothing but hate for a religion that is trying to help people. I will be one less reader, one less fan for you. Wishing you failure

~Scott

Royal,

I can not believe you did a theme day. It's almost as if you are in my head, I had literally just told my bf that GG should do theme days, not all the time but every once in a while. And suddenly we have Scientology Sunday. I really enjoyed the entire day but the Royal Rant and Mandy's Musings had to be the best part of the day.  In answer to Mandy's question about where Tom went wrong, I think Mimi Rogers ruined him, and Nicole Kidman finished off the job.

And in response to Royals letter to Kirstie Alley, can she just go away please? Though I do have to admit his idea of her being part of an ensemble is alluring, especially if one of the other characters dislikes her just as much as I do.

To the both of you, you guys rock!!!! We, your gossipers love you!!!

Royal Rant: Kristins Shabby Treatment

I remember the first time I heard Kristin Chenoweth sing, a friend put on "Popular" from the Wicked soundtrack. I was entranced, who was it? I asked. When he replied I went out and bought the CD, and my love affair with Cheno has been in full swing ever since.

When she was on The West Wing, I thought she deserved an Emmy nomination, especially when she discovered her character's boss dead. She played that material for all it was worth. Then she did win the Emmy for Pushing Daisies and it was well deserved. Things really seemed to be going her way, except that Pushing Daisies was canceled. Even that though wasn't enough to stop the indomitable Kristin, she secured a guest star role on Glee. 

In her memoir "A Little Bit Wicked" Kristin says that Broadway power players are not happy that she has branched out into TV and movies. I was like OK Kristin, come on now, you didn't get a role and you're upset. Then I noticed that the producers of her newest show downplayed the fact that Kristin was in the show, instead trumpeting the fact that Sean Hayes signed on to the male lead role. Now I love Sean Hayes as much as the next Will and Grace fan but let's be honest Kristin and Sean have the same amount of fame. However Kristin does have a Tony award under her belt and was in the most successful musical of this generation, wheres the love?

Then in another slap in the face, producers of The Tony Awards selected Sean to host the upcoming telecast. Again I think theres nothing wrong with Sean but why not have them co-host together? Since they are in the same play it would make sense, and in case I haven't driven the point home yet, KRISTIN IS A TONY WINNER!!! Having her, even as a co-host would add so much to the show, not to mention a legitimacy to the actual awards itself.

Imagine if the Oscars had Pauly Shore host their telecast just because he was in the movies, especially if they were able to secure Meryl Streep as host or co-host. The analogy may seem to be awkward but it is not,  yes Sean is far more talented than Pauly Shore. But having Sean host the prestigious awards alone simply because he is in a play is ludicrous. Especially when Sean and Kristin proclaim that they are friends and enjoy working together.

In the final insult to Kristin, despite getting probably some of the best reviews of any nominated actress, she failed to secure a nomination. What?! How is it possible that an actress of Kristins caliber can't even get a nomination for a nearly flawless performance? How is it possible that the Television Academy recognizes a truly phenomenal performance but Broadway doesn't. It's such a tragedy.

Kristin, sweetheart if you are reading this, please know you're fans adore you and will follow you anywhere, why not leave the great white way and come to a medium that will appreciate you and your talent. Come to Glee full time or join the Desperate Housewives on Wisteria Lane.....

Gossipers Say The Darndest Things

This new feature is to add some humor, and maybe get Gossipers a smile on their face, I want true stories only, if you have humorous fiction story submit it for the forth coming FICTION Day that was just announced.

I will kick off this segment with a true story from my work:

I work in Cultural Attraction retail, which is a fancy way of saying that I work in a gift shop. The big exhibit was Star Trek, and so we had dealt with alot of the more "active" fans. However this one will always stand out and has become one of my top 5 stories that I tell.....

It was afternoon (almost closing time!!) and this guy and little girl came into the shop, and we started talking. The girl started playing with toys, and the dad went to yell at her, so I told him it was fine. He frowned but decided to carry on a conversation with me. "Do you have any more Enterprises?" Obviously with the exhibit we were carrying a multitude of Star Trek merchandise, models of the Enterprise among them.

"No sorry, we're sold out, but we are expecting a shipment in any day, I can take your name and number, anf call you when we get them in." Ever the good salesman if I do say so myself. His follow up question didn't strike me as odd "How much are they?"

I told him the price. "50" and he looked at me as if I were insane, which was par for the course, the merchandise was way overpriced, though my boss and I agreed the enterprise model was actually a bargain.

"$50 for an Enterprise? You have to be kidding me." Seems normal right? Keep reading. I reassure him that I am not joking and then he lays the bomb on me. "$50 for an Enterprise that you can fly away from in here. That is cheap!!! I was expecting to pay upwards of 25 grand."

Speechless is an understatement for what I was. Surely this seemingly smart, sane man was putting one opver on me. Many of my guests like to joke around make silly statements, so I laughed. He looked hurt confused. "I'm serious they show it on the show all the time, and now I want one. Why are you laughing at me?"

And the little girl out on a deadly serious face looked at her father and said "Daddy we talked about this, you can't talk the crazy talk when we're not at home." She looked at me and was like "I'm sorry, daddy had a break down when he found out William Shatner was fat."

A letter To Gossipers

Gossipers,

Many of you have emailed me asking what's going on, and why the posts have been so erratic lately. I have to confess I took on too many projects as of late, I was working diligently on the Scientology articles, and revamping some of the features. I was also  putting in time on bringing forth Message boards, which are up right now, check them out, Generation Gossip.and Generation Soap.

I am also proud to announce that this site is ever evolving and this July one of the biggest changes to hit this site is coming. Blind items will be moved around, possibly landing on Mondays or stretched all week long. Saturdays will now be filled with FICTION!!! Yes that's right in an attempt to help get writers started in their careers we will publish gossipers work if they would like. And along with that we will be announcing the first ever Generation Gossip writing contest. For both of these we will accept Flash fiction, Fan Fiction, Short Stories, Novellas, etc.

On the Fourth Of July we will be dedicating most of the day to GG columnist Mandy Bates for her birthday!!  That day we will have a profile of the week on her along with a special royal rant. If any of her fans, friends, or family would like to contribute please email me at generationgossip@yahoo.com with your articles!!!!

Also on that day we will be launching the first ever GG Serial!! It will launch on Sunday and move to Saturdays, along with the other fictional stories.

Thank You for all of the growth we have experienced these last few months,

Always yours,

Royal Eduardo

RIP Dennis Hopper

Dennis Hopper died this morning at his home located in the Los Angeles community of Venice. The acclaimed actor had been diagnosed with prostate cancer back in October of 2009. Earlier this year when petitioning for divorce Dennis told the judge that he would not likely "see next Christmas." He was 74 at the time of death.

Blind: Lesbian Kisses Dude; Gets Dumped

Ted C


Cannes has been such trouble for stars this year: Naomi Campbell had younger, more attractive models thrown out of her fancy B-day bash. An errant dog ate Lindsay Lohan's passport. And poor Venetia Vag-0-Matic got dumped by her stunning girlfriend!
Only thing is, Venetia didn't even know about this sad news until she got back stateside. How awful!
How could the GF, who blew off her more famous partner as soon as she returned to L.A., have been so cold? Well, turns out the gorgeous girlfriend saw a picture of Venetia in Cannes doing something she probably shouldn't have been doing...
Like sucking face with a dude!
This really is so very Lindsay Lohan of Venetia, who's never actually come out as a lesbian, but who lives to get her flirt on with any sex she chooses—even though she's got a damn beautiful and loyal partner waiting in Hollywood for her. Really does read Samantha Ronson and Lindsay L. all over again.
Samantha actually tried to get Lindsay to live a more substantial, esteemed life, while Lohan, remember, would live to get her boy-flirt on in clubs and at parties, all the while playing supposedly out-and-proud lesbian housewife.
And just how did Venetia take it, once the girlfriend delivered the news?
"She was pissed," said an eye and ear witness to the Vag-O-Matic meltdown. "She was telling everybody, like it was her girlfriend's problem, not hers."
I dare say that hit movie Venetia's got has gone not to just the director's head, but hers, too.

Blind: One Wanted To Come Out, The Other Happily Closeted

Gossip Boy

Remember this blind item about the co-stars accidentally caught kissing on film?  Last time I told you about them Gnarley Abstrong was happy that the tape had been found and could continue his career as a closeted gay actor.  His boyfriend White Stallion was not so happy.  Whitey wanted to come out if you remember, but Gnarley was loving the attention he got from his high profile romances.
When there show went on summer hiatus, Gnarley and Whitey secretly planed to go on this lavish vacation, away from all peering eyes.  But when Gnarley’s girlfriend Fern FoShow found out, she blew her lid.  Gnarley convinced her that it was a trip for her and off they went.  But Whitey had no clue that he had been ditched and went on the vacation himself.  I hear when he found out that he had been played once again by his not-so loving boyfriend, he ended it right then and there.
Now Fern is telling everyone that Whitey is “gay” for her man, making him the laughing stock of his own show.  Doesn’t she realize that everyone knows about Gnarley’s past with certain actors?
Maybe Whitey will get lucky and they will not bring him back next year, I think he might have been left in limbo. Poor guy, all he needs is love.  Maybe I should hook him and Justin Case up.

I know I have not written about C*ke Mom in awhile, but I may have found someone better. Well, not a better mom, but this person is a much bigger star. Much. Like A list movie actress big or very, very close to it. Anyway, our actress has always come across as the victim or the martyr in her personal life. However, if you dig a little deeper under the surface you will see that she has issues. Now that she is alone again she has big issues. While you may see her with her child/ren out on the streets or something, that is the only time she spends with her child/ren. The rest of the time she sits in her bedroom, watching movies and television and shooting up. She has the most ridiculous h*roin habit and the only time she sees sunlight is when she takes her child/ren somewhere to keep up appearances.

Blind: She Got Pregnant To Keep Her Marriage: With A Twist

Blind Gossip

This couple is expecting. No secret there. What is a secret, however, is what was happening behind closed doors before the baby was announced.
Things had been rocky in this couple’s marriage for the past few years. The more she pushed her agenda on him, the more unhappy he became. After a particularly rough patch, Husband decided that he was going to do three things: get out of the marriage; tell the truth about what had been going on for the past few years; and come out of the closet.
Wife was desperate to keep any of those three things from happening. She decided to do something quite devious and drastic. The couple had stored up some fertilized eggs earlier in their marriage. (You didn’t think they conceived naturally, did you?) So she went behind his back and had some of the remaining fertilized eggs implanted, hoping that one would take. It did.
To say that the husband was shocked and absolutely furious with her for doing this behind his back would be an understatement. He does not want this baby. His plan right now is that, if she loses the baby, he will wait a couple of months and then bolt so he doesn’t look like the bad guy. However, if the baby is born, he knows that his primary role will be that of playing the proud and happy father. After all, he is an actor. So until the baby issue is resolved… back in the closet he goes.

Well, our actress has moved on, even if her career has progressed straight down. She and her new celebrity boyfriend, who is very familiar with our actresses’ k*nky s*xual proclivities which involve lots and lots of S and M are in Cannes together this year. Anyway, the couple ran into one of the guys our actress shared dr*gs and s*x with last year. Instead of the situation being awkward, the new celebrity boyfriend invited the guy to come along back to their hotel where they all took turns, well, with umm, each other.

Blind: Wants To Make A Real Snuff Film

Blind Gossip

This famous actor has been through multiple films… and multiple wives. Underneath his quirky charm, however, lurks a really evil twin.  One who likes to take everything to extreme. While he’s not known for any actual viol*nce toward his loved ones, he does like to talk about some very disturbing acts, including r*pe, k*dnapping, t*rture, S and M, dismemberment, etc. In fact, he wants to produce a real sn*ff film in which people are actually injured and killed during the making of the film. He’ll have to face reality, though. His out-of-control spending prohibits his financing anything, and he’s going to have to keep working for a long time simply to pay the bills.

Blind: Secretly A Wild Child

Ted C

We know we promised we wouldn’t talk about Morgan Mayhem anymore—until she cleans up her act, that is, which she so totally is not doing—so we apologize for bringing the dreaded M2 back into the mix. Had to.
The good news? This Blind Vice isn’t entirely about nasty old Morgs, it’s more about the young Hollywood bestie that’s getting the Mayhem 101 in “How to Be Bad.”
Meet Strawberry Snort’Em, a rising diva known for her mildly wild ways, who’s picked up one of M.M.’s nastier habits…
Coke, a Mayhem fave (tho she’d tell you otherwise, obviously).
You wouldn’t know it, but S.S. and M2 are quite close—as in share-a-gay-BFF close, the ultimate bond in H’wood. Thing is, Strawberry knows Morgan’s rep and wouldn’t be caught anywhere near her.
Even on Twitter, where Morgs desperately tries to chat our newest B.V. vixen up but never gets as much as a pity @reply.
But when Strawberry doesn’t think she’ll be caught, she’s got absolutely no problem getting Morgan-level wild! And for a chick who’s so friggin’ concerned about what people think of her, S.S. isn’t so discreet about her bathroom behaviors.
Maybe she figured it was an unspoken code of T-town? “What goes on in the bathroom, stays in the bathroom…”
Well, a few someones are blabbing.
Fellow clubbers on this specific night were too pleased to spot S.S. and M2 snorting away in the trendy L.A. hot spot’s posh bathrooms.
And while Morgan went on to much more tabloid-talked-about antics that night (as she always does), Strawberry avoided the press and instead pissed off the other partyers with her coked-up craziness.
Strawberry was completely out of control, dish our club sources, telling us S2 was even climbing on statues within the club. S2’s got a name that carries clout in Hollyweird, so security obviously didn’t step in to stop her, even though the other club-hoppers were complaining.
Hey, this is Hollywood, people, if you don’t like the way the starlets play, get out of the damn clubs, right?
With Morgan as a role model, we’re terrified of what may become of sweet Strawberry Snort’Em. Cross your fingers, folks, because we’d hate to see S2’s career—and personal life (what would her dude think?)—go down the drain like Morgan’s.

Prior to the airing of the Lost series finale, there was a two hour-special on the making of Lost. It featured a plot summary, show clips, show runners patting themselves on the back, and lots of glowing accolades from the cast about how amazing and ground-breaking the series was. Well, that’s how they described it for the cameras, anyhow. One cast member had less glowing things to say when the camera wasn’t rolling. Specifically, that even the cast members didn’t understand the convoluted plot. This particular actor never had any idea whether s/he was “filming a scene of a flash back, a flash forward, a flash sideways.” This same actor did not like the ending at all. S/he said that it “f*ing sucked. What a joke.” S/he also joked that s/he might avoid public appearances for a while in case some fan who felt robbed at the ending wanted to throw a punch their way.

This little wild child is best known for renting out residences and penthouse suites under her managers name for her no holds barred parties. Same guests at every bash. Some celebs, some wannabes, but definitely people that wouldn’t rat out the sweetheart that throws the best parties, or “Snow Balls” as they call them. It’s all been fun and games for Mary, until a couple weekends ago when she traded in the snow for some E. And I don’t mean E exclamation point. One night her boyfriend was not attached to her hip, and she got a little randy with a her ex-boyfriend. And she wasn’t very private about it, it was in the middle of one of her parties. At least she had the decency to take him into the bathroom, but she should have been quieter. Everyone heard Hail Mary praying to God and when she emerged with the sex hair, Mary didn’t even attempt to fix it. Instead she walked over and did some bumps. Hail Mary has her current dish chasing her every move and her ex, who she is secretly stalking. No matter which guy really loves the snow job, they should realize she is after one thing.

Exclusive: Is One Life Canceled Too?

With the news of Soapnet being shutdown, fans have started buzzing that beloved soap One Life To Live is about to breath it's last breath. The show which has been the focal point of cancellation rumors for the better part of the decade has sunk to being the lowest rated sudser on air.

And in yesterdays New York Times article it was stated that ABC Daytime is committed to their shows, All My Children and General Hospital but no mention of OLTL which had fans up in the air. ABC has yet to make a statement, in the past though they have reassured fans that they are committed to the show.

Many fans though think actions speak louder than words and this is the latest slap in the face to them. Last year AMC was moved to LA, leaving OLTL ABCs lone East coast soap opera, they were suppose to move to AMCs vacated studios but the move was delayed as was the HD conversion they were suppose to go through.

Nelson Branco has been urging fans to write to the network to save the show. Now is the time to do so if you want to save this once golden genre.

James Bond Gay????

Daniel Craig is in midst of a gay scandal due to a kiss. ON May 15 Daniel was seen kissing a man at the Roosterfish bar in Venice. and apparently this was no peck good bye but rather a full on make out session. A source said "It was definitely Daniel Craig, and he was most certainly making out with a guy,. Daniel kissed his friend on the lips. It was an open-mouth passionate French kiss. In fact, Daniel held the guy's head in his hands and pull him in for the kiss!"

Another witness recounted their story "When Daniel and his friend walked in, the looked like any other upscale gay couple checking out the scene. He rubbed Daniel's leg and shoulder while they talked, and Daniel didn't seem to mind. At first, I thought Daniel may have come in with his gay friend to check out the live music. But when they started dancing together, I though, 'This is more than just two friends out for drinks.'"

Daniels reps have yet to comment on the story.

Lost Ending Not Real

The image above was the last shot of the series finale of  Lost on Sunday.

Gold Star For Crazy

In a sign that surely the world is coming to an end, the Tea Party has endorsed Tim D'Annunzio for a North Carolina candidate, and he appears to be in line to win the seat. This is creating very strong feelings from the Republican leaders in the state. In fact they have said that Tim has “has disqualified himself by his background, his record and his behavior.”

His background includes claims from his ex-wife that he called himself the messiah and that God would drop a 1,000 mile high pyramid on Greenland. A judge also ruled that Tim had willfully avoided paying child support and dubbed himself a “religious zealot” and the government the "Antichrist.”

How is this man winning the election? The answer is simple he has plenty of money in his arsenal to go head to head with his new opponent Harold Johnson, a local sportscaster.

Must have been a tense night at home for Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. While promoting a little movie you may have heard of, Sex and the City 2 on The Late Show with David Letterman talk turned to her young son James Wilkie and his height. She began sayingis, for the moment, more on the diminutive side. Some might call it a Napoleon complex, it [his age] gives him some [confidence] because he is so mature. He's a brainiac... well I think so, naturally, He's not quite tiny - that's on my husband's side - well, actually Matthew is average... not in personality or in intellect.... no, no, no, no, no,"

She quickly realized her faux pas and tried to clear things up. "Let me clear this up. For the record, not in personality, intellect, charisma, talent, genuine likeability, well the list could go on and on,"

Instead of hating them, The lady says that she actually loves them because her fans love her. "I love the rumor that I have a penis. I'm fascinated by it. In fact, it makes me love my fans even more that this rumor is in the world because 17,000 of them come to an arena every night and they don't care if i'm a man, a woman, a hermaphrodite, gay, straight, transgendered, or transsexual. They don't care! They are there for the music and the freedom. This has been the greatest accomplishment of my life- to get young people to throw away what society has taught them is wrong. Gay culture is at the very essence of who I am and I will fight for women and for the gay community until I die."

Tammy's Truth Comes Out

Tammy Michaels has unleashed a blog full of accusations against her former wife Melissa Etheridge. One of the most damning is her accusation that another woman came between the former role models. "secrets, with-holding, whispering to all but the one whom holds the vows and the toddlers"

She also blogs that Melissa was more interested in keeping her career going, rather than fixing their damaged relationship. "disappearances into the hourglass-shaped wood with strings never to finish a fight never interested in clarifying, making sense, making it right even finishing the fight more interested in making something rhyme time after time after time and later angsting that you and me, WE it didn't work out you evolved you needed to be happy-  but really... you withdrew your hands from family and intimacy to pluck those strings more"

"well, no censorship? really, honey?awesome." With one last blast Tammy accuses Melissa of lying and keeping Tammy quiet. "so thank you for telling an interviewer that you WON'T censor me on my blog (i thought i was to say nothing, my bad) i was so unhappy thinking people dare look at me and think that i consider a marriage and forever to be nine years or six years or whatever and i gave up on everything
and just walked off never is that me... nope, never. cuz i did not go anywhere, honey and you and i both know it please stop telling the press it was mutual"

Despite everything Tammy let's it be known that she still loves her ex and wouldn't rule out a reconciliation, "i still love that damn woman so much, i'm still trying to stop. i had a dream last where honey and i were fighting and going to get a divorce, and i woke up sobbing.... then i realized. oh. it's true. and then what do you do? when the horrible feeling in the dream gets to stay even after you wake up?"

Helping Hand: Follow Up

Royal,

You answered my call for help. I am the gay kid who needed help in coming out. I started telling my friends and no one turned their back on me. I was so relieved to finally be able to let people get to know the real me. All of my friends said that they suspected and still love me.

My next step is to tell my family. I started the process by letting a couple of my cousins know and then told my sister. One of my cousins flipped out and told me I was going to hell but the others stepped in and defended me, and told him to lay off. My sister was angry but not because I'm gay, because she said that she felt I  shouldn't have hid it from her.

My parents are the next step, and I am trembling from fear, but I know I have to go on and do this. Thank you for giving me the encouragement and guidance I needed to begin this journey. I will never forget how you helped me and I hope maybe one day I can do the same for someone else. You truly are my fairy godmother, and a God given gift to all of your "gossipers" Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
