Christopher Ciccone, I Heart You.

Spicy — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:59:36 +0000

I fell in love with Christopher Ciccone, Madonna’s brother, after reading his book, Life with My Sister Madonna earlier this year.

I had heard of him, knew who he was, but after reading the book I felt like I knew, and loved, him. And not like that, he is gay, but in a way like you would care for a good friend. Starkly contrasted to the way I feel about his sister, I might add. If you haven’t read the book, PLEASE, GO to your local library and pick it up today. Madonna fan or not, I promise, it is a damn good read.

Anyhow, Chris is speaking out about his vain sis, saying that she isn’t looking so hot these days, depsite spending thousands on anti-aging procedures and cosmetics.

Clearly not impressed, he said, “She looked like Rachel Zoe gone horribly wrong!” referring how Madonna looked at the 2009 VMA’s.

Little brother goes on to take a stab at his sister’s boytoy, Jesus Luz: “It proves the point that you can judge a person by the company they keep— or don’t keep. It’s painfully apparent that Jesus may be able to turn water into wine, but your basic blow dryer eludes him.”

Yeah, Jesus does look greasy a lot, doesn’t he? Whatever, he is just a little bitch with no huevos to speak of. When Madge is done with him he’ll crash and burn. Greasy curls and all.

I love Chris because he doesn’t give a sh*t about what his sister thinks. For many years he did, and for many years he helped her get her career off the ground and supported her, but once she got big, she became paranoid that everyone, including her brother, was out to get her, or had an ulterior motive. Too bad, because I think Chris is great. It’s Madonna with a stick up her arse, not him. Funny, Madonna claims to not want to be taken advantage of, and refuses to see her brother, but yet will let a parasite hanger-on like Jesus Luz do just that…be a parasite hanger-on. Madonna is simply an “opportunity” for Jesus – and a huge one at that. Do you think he is in it for the love? Yeah, pffft, dream on!

Tom Brady’s Sisters Were His Inspiration

Spicy — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:32:39 +0000

Tom Brady and his sisters

Tom Brady has three three older sisters, all of whom were better at sports than he was at a young age.

Tom apparently didn’t fill out until college, but while growing up his sisters were all amazing baseball players, often receiving praise from the family, which later sparked Tom’s competitiveness.

In the early 90s, sister Maureen Brady was a senior pitcher and sisters Julie, a junior shortstop, and Nancy, a freshman catcher, were also amazing players on the team. All were recognized for their outstanding athletic abilities. One time a newspaper article even dubbed them, “The Brady Bunch For Real.” But alas, Tommy boy was not a part of the article nor did he receive any athletic recognition until his college years.

Tom admitted later that this was difficult for him, as a budding young man, to listen to his family, friends and the entire town praise his sisters while he was back in the shadows, trying to make a name for himself.

A longtime friend of Brady’s remembers, “He was very clearly the low man on the totem pole. Whereas Tom didn’t really fill out until college, all of those girls were very pretty and were great athletes. I think there was a self-consciousness, a feeling that, ‘If I’m going to get my name in the paper like them, I have to step it up.’ ”

Now his sisters are his best supporters and biggest fans. They are a feisty bunch and are known for verbally scraping with their brother’s hecklers. Once his sister Nancy joked, “I’ll be there in full pads, so just look up if you need me.”

Rebbie Jackson Will Raise Michael’s Children

Spicy — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 17:59:09 +0000

TMZ is reporting that Michael Jackson’s sister, Rebbie Jackson, 59, will be the one to raise his children.

Rebbie has long been involved in the lives of the children, Paris, Prince Michael and Prince Michael II, and will take over as their new parent. Rebbie is married and lives with her husband in Las Vegas but has been staying with her mother Katherine in Encino, helping to care for the three orphans.

This is actually one thing the family has all agreed upon, and the children are reportedly smitten with her.

I’m sure Michael loved his children but he was a drug addict and those poor kids deserve better – as do ANY children. Rebbie has never struck me as being a fame whore and she isn’t in the spotlight as much as her sister Janet. So I think this is a great choice. Let’s just hope their transition goes smoothly.

Solange Knowles Shaved Head

Spicy — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:51:14 +0000

Solange Knowles has either shaved her head or has simply left the lace front wig at home.

Which, I’m not sure, but regardless, she has never been seen without one of her wigs on. Much like her sister, Beyonce, who always has a wig made up of a massive mane of hair.

Solange, who absolutely despises being compared to her super famous sister, once said that if the comparisons kept up that she would pull a Britney and shave all her hair off. Maybe she just meant that she would leave the wig at home.

Regardless, I bet it feels good, I couldn’t imagine having to glue your hair on day after day..

Jermaine Jackson, the brother of Michael Jackson, performing the song, “Smile”, at the memorial service, July 7, 2009.

How he made it through the song, I don’t know. Yes, he wavered at times, but he did an amazing job getting through it. I guess that’s part of being a performer, but wow, that had to have been tough.

Janet Jackson BET Awards [VIDEO]

Spicy — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 05:51:15 +0000

Michael Jackson’s sister, Janet Jackson, made a surprising speech at the 2009 BET Awards after losing her brother.

In what I think was the only highlight of the night’s show, Michael’s sister paid tribute to her older brother, in a touching speech where she remembered her late sibling.

Janet and Michael were always close, and I am sure losing him will affect her greatly. I can relate as I too, have lost a brother.

She said, “To you, Michael is an icon, to us, he is family.” I have no question that Janet loved Michael, and it showed in her face as she spoke to the crowd.

Patrick Farrow, the brother of actress Mia Farrow, was found dead in his home Monday.

The 66-year-old was discovered by police who had been called by an unknown female. The circumstances are suspicious.

Patrick was a respected sculptor who owned his own gallery with his wife and had received numerous achievement awards.

An autopsy is underway to determine the cause of death.

Mia Farrow has had a rough year, she also lost her 35-year-old daughter, Lark Previn, on Christmas Day last year following an extensive illness.

So sad, Mia is such a strong and amazingly giving woman. I wish her the best.

Ashlee Simpson Outraged at Blogs Calling Sister Jessica ‘Fat’

Spicy — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 15:27:55 +0000

Ashlee Simpson (like a lot of celebrities lately) is lashing out at gossip bloggers for saying her sister has gained weight.

She rants,

I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister’s weight. A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman’s weight or figure as a headline on Fox News.
All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you’re a celebrity, there shouldn’t be a different standard.
Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend?
I seriously doubt it.
How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure?
Now can we focus on the things that really matter.
-Ash

Well, Ashlee, this is nothing new in the business, but I’m not saying that it’s right. What I am saying is that you, your sister and your daddy all know how the industry works. And if you gain a little weight, you’re going to hear about it. Welcome to Hollywood.

Tell me Ashlee, how is it that we can expect teenaged girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where so many young women feel it’s necessary to get plastic surgery on their face at a young age? Oh yeah, it goes back to what I said before.

I’m just sayin’.

Daniel Baldwin Thinks He’s an A-Lister

Spicy — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:28:03 +0000

OMG, I love this, I got this in my inbox, from Chaunce Hayden, writer for Steppin Out magazine…

“If you’re looking to interview Daniel Baldwin, you better have your checkbook near by.

The least famous of the Baldwin siblings is offering his time for media coverage – at a price.

His current rep, Bob DeBrino, pitched Baldwin to Steppin’ Out editor, Chaunce Hayden, for a cover story and photo shoot.

However, the conversation came to a quick halt when DeBrino asked, “So how much money do you guys pay for interviews?” Hayden replied, “Huh?”

DeBrino answered, “What… did you think Daniel would talk to anyone for free? He’s a Baldwin!”

Hayden finished the sales pitch with, “Sorry, but I was thinking of asking you the same question… How much do we get if we put a Baldwin that nobody cares about on the cover?”

Oh, Chaunce, I love you!
