Donald Trump’s Flag Flap

March 29, 2023 by Jasper

It is a bit hard to imagine anyone getting into a fight over the size of a flagpole but Donald Trump is definitely angry. He is spitting mad and plans on suing the Palm Beach forefathers a whopping $25 million.

“What’s the fuss all about?”, you wonder. Donald Trump put an 80 foot flagpole on top of his Mar-a-Lago property. He sent a letter to veronica Close, director of Palm Beach Planning, Zoning and Building Department, advising the town officials of his intention to have the pole put in place and to assure the town officials that it would be of the highest quality and capable of withstanding a category 5 hurricane. According to Palm Beach Officials, the flagpole that the Donald erected over his Mar-a-Lago property violates the zones 42- foot maximum limit. Ms. Close could not be reached for comment.

Donald Trump points out that a smaller pole would be insignificant against the size of the building. It is meant to fly the US flag proudly. The flag measures 25 by 50 feet, the same size as that which waves in Washington DC over the Capitol. He says that this so-called violation is restriction of his freedom of speech.

Hmmm…wasn’t that what Rosie O’Donnell was exercising last week?

She may be a famous actress but she hasn’t let it get to her head; which is why so many fans love her. Is it any wonder that Mattel chose her to become a part of their collection?

No, Mattel isn’t sticking her in the cardboard box. They are, however, definitely releasing 12 inch versions of the star of Lizzie Maguire.The red sashed, polka dot dressed Red Carpet Glam Hilary Duff Doll will be available for her fans to bring home this month.

Hilary Duff isn’t the first Hollywood star to be made into Barbie sized figures. She joins the ranks of Reese Witherspoon, Beyonce and Lucille Ball. She is definitely in good company.

Jamie Wood, vice president of Mattel’s Barbie marketing, said in a statement that Barbie and Hilary Duff are:

“great role models to girls and the perfect design duo. Not only are they two of the most stylish entertainers, actors and fashion designers, but they also show girls there are no limits to what they can do.”

P. Diddy’s Dog Troubles

March 29, 2023 by Jasper

You thought you’d heard the last fur issue from Hollywood this year when Christina Ricci was crucified on media. Well her time on the hot seat i done. Move over Cruella de Ville. There’s a bigger person in the frying pan for using dog fur on coats and no one was more surprised than the man himself, Sean “P.Diddy” Combs.

P. Diddy’s designer clothing line, Sean John, had a hooded snorkel jacket that was advertised as having a faux rabbit fur trim. Some buyers noted that the actual jacket had a tag that read “genuine raccoon fur”. Both claims have been proven to be wrong. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) released the results of the mass spectrometry test which proved that the fur was real, but it wasn’t from a raccoon. Instead the fur came from the raccoon dog. The raccoon dog is not a raccoon. It’s a dog that is found in East Asia whose coat is similar to that of the bandit like animal.

P. Diddy says that he was unaware that real fur of any kind had been used in his clothing line. He had the jackets pulled out immediately. His company has a policy against using real fur of any kind.

March 29, 2023 by Jasper

James Brown.jpgAnd the world is poorer for his loss yet better for having had him for the short time that he was with us. James Brown was a legend indeed.

James Brown’s music inspired many a rapper and hip hop artist. He paved the way for the likes of Michael Jackson and Prince. He was a lively, energetic man until the day he passed away. He truly was performing almost to the last day of his life.Not even being ill got him down. Even as he entered the hospital this past Saturday, he was planning a New Year’s performance.

The godfather of soul, as James Brown called himself in his autobiography, was brought to the Emory Crawford Long Hospital with pneumonia Saturday. He passed away of heart failure at around 1:45 am on Christmas Day.

James Brown will always be remembered in his music. He really got all of us with his unique funky sound exactly as his song “I Got You (I Feel Good)” says.

Actress Julia Roberts, 39, and husband cameraman Danny Moder, 37, are now expecting their third child. This news is definitely making the actress very happy who has expressed a desire for a large family. Roberts is expected to give birth in the summer.

Roberts and Moder met on the set of “The Mexican” and married in July, 2002. The couple has a pair of twins – PhinnaeusWalter and Hazel Patricia – who are now two years old. Roberts had a difficult pregnancy then, needing bed rest after she’d experienced false labor. Hopefully this time around the pregnancy will be easier on the actress.

The Pretty Woman star is a very busy lady. She is expected to be part of two films scheduled for next year, 2007. These are “Charlie Wilson’s War” and “Friday Knitting Club”. With luck, this Oscar award winner will  be able to keep working throughout this pregnancy if she chooses.
