While we felt like celebrating too, we had high hopes that the new president elect and his groupies  might at least obey the laws  he is going to swear to uphold  for a day or so before casting them aside..

At least not this time…

A rep for actor/bad boy Charlie Sheen says the Star Magazine report which claimed that Sheen, after having a fight with his wife Brook Mueller, got so upset that he stormed off to Las Vegas, where he then partied at the nightclub Prive and got lap dances at a strip club, is not true.

Sheen’s rep has told Usmagazine.com that Sheen and his wife, who are expecting twin boys, are just fine and that he actually went to Las Vegas for a “contractual appearance on behalf of Planet Hollywood’s Prive” and that he was only in town for four hours.

So there you have it, folks!

John Michael Crichton, M.D. an American author, producer, director, medical doctor, and television producer best known for his science fiction and thriller novels, as well as his films, and television has died in Los Angeles unexpectedly.
His family said the 66-year-old passed away in Los Angeles from cancer.

Famed for his historic and prehistoric science fantasies like Jurassic Park, Timeline and The Andromeda Strain - all of which were made into hit movies, he was also responsible for the hit series ER.

The medical doctor turned novelist wrote numerous blockbusters, some of which sold more than a 100 million copies.

Crichton was born in Chicago on October 23, 1942, and wrote his first novels while attending Harvard Medical School.

The Andromeda Strain, which was published in 1969, became his first best-seller.

He also wrote Jurassic Park sequel The Lost World, Congo, The Terminal Man, Prey and State of Fear, among others.

Almost 200,000 fans have already witnessed Cher LIVE during her first 44 sold-out shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas last year.

Now, Cher is announcing that she will return to The Colosseum for 35 performances next year. Her shows will run from February 21 to March 21, and from April 24 to May 24.

Cher’s Colosseum show is a 90-minute ultra-glitzy concert during which she performs many of her hits from across the decades.

Directly from the US News comes this ridiculous tidbit, that even a Palin McCain groupie couldn’t condone.

A women in Michigan specifically turned away trick-or-treating kids whose parents support Barack Obama.

TV station WJBK reported that Shirley Nagel only handed out candy to children from families that supported Republican  McCain.

She left a sign outside her home on Halloween, which read: “No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters.” ( We seriously hope parents who saw the sign of BOTH parties passed by without stopping)

When asked whether she was concerned about children leaving her home in tears, she commented: “Oh well. Everybody has a choice.”

Nagel said she took the stance because Obama is “scary”.

Now while her choice may be her own, forcing it down the throats of children, using candy as a lure is probably something no one could approve of… Sarah Palin, in her own blunt fashion, would most likely have sorted her out about that kind of treatment of children.

In a bit of news from the past.. the Iraqi government today has announced they will sell the personal property of their own past celebrity, Saddam. Ocean Breeze, Hussseins yacht features swimming pools, an operating room , a helipad and an escape tunnel leading to a submarine.(( sound a touch paranoid to you??)

It is expected to bring in around 20 million, with brokers claiming the vessel’s history will  be “a good selling point”.
Iraq was granted ownership of the yacht, which was built in a Danish shipyard in 1981, following a legal dispute with a Jordanian company.

The yacht features such amazing decor as mahogany carvings, gold tap fittings and deep-pile carpets, reports the BBC.

Hussein never stayed on the yacht because of  political instability in Iraq. It has been moored in Saudi Arabia and the French port of Nice since it was built.
