September 27, 2023 by SplashPress

Some of our most loved celebrities throughout the years have fallen victim to the epidemic of addiction, and found a most terminal fate. For some reason, the world loves to hear the stories of how those celebs found their way down that dark road to an out of control addiction. Sometimes it’s just a case of curiousity. For those of you who may be a bit younger, and don’t remember these tragedies first hand, you’ll want to read a bit. Whatever the case may be, here is a collective summary of just a few of our favorite tortured souls and the stories of their ultimate demise.

Elvis Presley

Elvis was found dead in the bathroom floor of his famous home in Memphis, TN, Graceland. His family has done everything they can to try and cover up his true cause of death, but the press settled upon a heart attack caused from prolonged heavy prescription pill usage. The cool part of this case is that Elvis’s autopsy results were legally sealed until the year 2027. So in a little over ten more years, the truth will be uncovered. It will be very interesting to see what the media does with the results once they are made available to the public. [Read more…]

Sex, Lies, and Denial – Hollywood Blah Blah, May 14, 2010

September 27, 2023 by SplashPress

Wow, someone went a little crazy on the airbrushing of both the Entertainment Weekly cover of Sex and the City 2, and the poster.

Looks like they’re all in denial. Matt Lauer and wife Annette Roque deny they’ve split, with Lauer saying the claims are fiction. And Alexis Houston denies that she had an affair with Matt Lauer. Alexis is also a singer like step-sister Whitney Houston.

More denial, this time from Alyssa Milano, who’s show Romantically Challenged just canned by ABC. Sorry Alyssa; love you but tweeting that it didn’t “officially” get cancelled doesn’t make it true. While you’re waiting for another opportunity, please feel free to take off your clothes.

Yet more denial from the parents of 6-7 year-old girls whose viral video performance cover of Beyonce’s Single Ladies track is taking heat for sexualizing them. The parents try to explain away the performance in an Inside Edition interview. Sure, it’s easy to say there’s nothing wrong with it when you have to save face and hope the world doesn’t criticize you for not teaching your kids what’s appropriate and what’s way overboard. But then again, in a world where 17 year-old Miley Cyrus grinding and giving lapdances to 44 year-old men (albeit gay) is considered just fun by dad Billy Ray say it’s just fun, it’s no wonder this sort of thing goes on at an even younger age. In my useless opinion, this dance sequence is just as bad, if not worse, than putting makeup on little girls and entering them into beauty pageants. If you want them to learn dance moves to improve their skills, there are far less provocative and shocking and ways to do so – especially for kids so young. At this rate, give them a couple of years and they might be on Trash TV next. I’m not embedding the video here; you can see it at the link above (AmyGrindhouse.com)

Amy Adams should be welcoming her new baby into the world some time later this month. Hopefully Adams doesn’t have to worry about the baby appearing in videos for years.

According to singer M.I.A., baby-face Justin Bieber’s video is more violent than her Born Free video, which features nudity and graphic violence. Of course, she was just kidding.

Still more denial? Well, Tyra Banks has her own novel(s), so why not another celeb, comedian Damon Wayans, who is actually very talented? Wayans’ novel Red Hats is being released by Simon & Schuster.
