Everything to do with your shak.
I have never met anyone famous but have spoken with (either in person or online) with many people that have. In fact, a woman I used to work with was on the same airplane with my favorite actor, James Stewart. She didn’t want to bother him so she did not say anything to him, but I am still jealous!
Have you ever had a close encounter or sighting of a famous person? If you have, share your story with us. It is a small world after all!
Talented comedian Harvey Korman died yesterday at the age of 81. I used to love watching him and Tim Conway doing their skits together on the Carol Burnett show. Those two had me in tears from laughing so hard. Here is a video tribute to Harvey Korman and his brilliant career.
Two days before Mother’s Day, Michelle Duggar announced to her family that she is pregnant with her 18th child. The family of soon to be 20, has children ranging in age from 9 months to 20 years old. This famous family was on The Today Show and you can watch this video from the show. Wow, I cannot even imagine having so many children. The Duggar family seems to handle it with ease and is something really special.
Through Blog Catalog, I have met a blogger named Shirley. She is a very ambitious blogger with high ideals and goals to help children. Her blog is titled Proof Positivity and she sees it as "an opportunity for children of all ages to find their voice through positive news".
Shirley’s vision: "For every child to have an opportunity to write or report no matter what their grades are."
She explains why: "A child sometimes needs to develop a love for something before they are motivated enough to bring their grades up."
Shirley’s goal: "My goal is to put a studio in every school and for that, equipment is needed. I hope to eventually be able to go to my schools and discuss: Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How?"
Kudos to Shirley for her love of children and her strong desire to help them. Take a minute and check out Proof Positivity for yourself.
I would like to relay a story that shows us that you can overcome anything with pure determination. Hopefully this might give someone hope and inspiration when dealing with obstacles in their own life.
This story is creative commons so it can be re-printed. It is a little too lengthy to publish the whole thing here so here is a start with a link to the rest:
How an orphaned high school dropout made the inner circle of the literary world.
After reading this story you’ll be inspired to put the worst behind you and reach for your dreams. Michael C Flanigan has plenty to complain about but instead he is inspired. This is the story of how an abused orphan and ninth grade dropout became an author, a college teacher, and peer to some of the twentieth century’s greatest poets.
Michael was orphaned at the age of nine. His father killed his mother and then committed suicide. Michael probably would have been murdered by his own father if he hadn’t sensed something wrong and ran away that day. Perhaps it was for the better. Michael remembers his parent’s wild drunken parties read the rest……
If you ask any parent what their favorite sound is, most of them would answer that it is the sound of their child laughing. If you have not seen this video already, you should watch it. It is the cutest little boy just cracking up! His father is so happy hearing his little guy laughing this way.
I saw this video and found it to be adorable! This has happened with my kids but of course, I did not get it on video. I bet big brother does not stick his finger in baby’s mouth again!
One of the most famous daddy’s of all is admitting that he made a mistake. On January 5th, Dr. Phil made a visit to Britney Spears while she was in the hospital. His visit was prompted by a request from her family to intervene.
The real controversy is the statement that Dr. Phil made to Entertainment Tonight. He told them that Britney is in "dire need of both medical and psychological intervention." This has landed Dr. Phil in a little bit of hot water According to MTV.com:
"A complaint was filed against McGraw earlier this week that accused him of violating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The complaint alleges Dr. Phil practiced clinical psychology without a license and further violated doctor-patient privilege by discussing the pop star’s case with the media."
The Dr. Phil episode where he apologizes is scheduled to air today. He has concluded that his "visit was not helpful to the situation".
Have you heard about the Scientology video that shows Tom Cruise rambling on in a rather incoherent way? I checked it out and I must say that it didn’t make much sense. He seemed very creepy to say the least.
Most of the videos were pulled off of the net already by Scientologists. I found one this morning here that is still running. If you have not seen the video yet, check it out and see what you think.
I used to like Tom Cruise but lost respect for him some time ago. There are several actors that I feel this way about. They step out and talk in their self righteous way and impose their beliefs. I suppose since they are famous that this makes them right and important. Sorry, not in my book!
