On whether she’d prefer being called a cougar or puma: “Cougar has become so distasteful. I really hate that expression.” She said recently that when it comes to her relationship, she’d prefer to be called a puma. “It has a sweeter quality, more elegant. And then somebody said to me, ‘Pumas are only for people in their 30s.’”
On the first night she met Ashton: “I knew it had the potential to be something special right away. It was like meeting somebody that I’ve just known where you just recognize one another. It was so disproportionate, the level of emotion we were experiencing to the time we had spent together. But when you don’t know someone, you can’t just jump and say, ‘I love you.’ ‘Nice to meet you, I love you!’ Yeah. No. We used to end our calls or emails with ‘And everything we don’t say.’ It just seemed too much, too soon.”
On Alexander McQueen: “McQueen was a genius. I was always thrilled to wear his clothes because they were more than fashion; they were truly works of art.”
Season 9 of American Idol may well have a new front-runner after the Lambert-like performance of Siobhan Magnus Tuesday night. She performed the Rolling Stones 1966 hit “Paint It Black”, in a seemingly effortlessly rendition that earned her the praises of all four judges.
Simon Cowell declared, “It was the stand out performance of tonight.”
Magnus turned 20 this week and lives in Barnstable, Massachusetts. She is an apprentice glassblower and fronted an alt-rock band called Lunar Valve before hooking up with AI.
Judges favorites Crystal Bowersox and Michael Lynche were both criticized this week for not bringing their A-game to Rolling Stones week.
Corey Feldman and Corey Haim at Game Day 2010 at the Playboy Mansion 2/07/2010
Corey Feldman did not attend lifelong friend of Corey Haim’s funeral on Tuesday out of respect for the family’s wishes that it be a small private affair. Instead, Feldman memorialized his frequent co-star in a letter to Haim on his website.
Titled “A Letter for the Grave…(an open letter to Corey Haim),” Feldman wrote:
Dear Corey.,
This is for you on the day of your funeral. First off I am so sorry I am not there with you today. By that I mean my physical body is not with your physical body. However you know that my heart is right at your side. You also know the only reason I am truly not there is out of respect for your mother and her wishes to minimize the media attention as much as possible. I want your family to have a calm peaceful day. Hopefully we will not see one shot of the funeral on the news. Just know I am at home today projecting positive energy for you and your passing.
I miss you so much already. When I think of something funny I don’t know who to tell it to. I find myself trying to call you but then remember your not there. I think about the new movies we will soon be doing together and then suddenly realise that the dream is over. I always feared this day would come, and often rehearsed how to face it. But once confronted with the reality of it, it’s so much more painful than I could have ever imagined. Nobody will ever understand the brotherhood we shared. Nobody will ever get the inside jokes we told. Nobody will understand the magic of 22/222 . Nobody will ever know how to do the secret Corey handshake. Nobody will ever make me laugh as hard as you did. Nobody will ever make me fight as hard as you did. Nobody will ever challenge me the way you did. Nobody will ever need me the way you did.
My mission in life became saving yours. I never gave up, I tried …I walked away, but I always came back, to let you know I was there. In a dark and lonely world with spiteful angry people we always understood each others pain. I have been so hounded by the media and barraged with condolences since your death that I have not been given my own time to grief. I was still in shock while cameras were chasing me down the street looking for my feelings on the matter. When I did Larry King I could barely form sentences, but knew I had to be strong to send a message.
I never knew your death would have such a huge impact on the world. I learned something Corey, there are a lot of people out there who really love you, and appreciate the joy you have brough tho their hearts. I only wish you could see the way the world is mourning over your absence. I wish you could see how big the story is. I wish you could see your face finally filling the cover of People magazine and Entertainment Weekly! That would have meant so much to you. It is such a shame they all had to wait until you were gone to give you the respect you were due as an actor which is what you truly were. The great Canadian actor Corey Haim! I love you and I will forever keep that ring close to my heart. I will do my very best to help give you a memorial that is a celebration of your life the way you would have wanted it…..with everybody laughing and rocking out!
My heart is so broken and I know there are so many who feel the same way I do. We will remember your spirit and your fans will help me keep your legacy alive.
I pray that you are safe and warm and finally filled with peace.
I love you

E! True Hollywood Story, airing on March 17, will reveal a dark and troubled past for reality star Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett. Newly married and a first time mom, Kendra exposes a time in her life that some might want to cover up.
At the age of 13, Kendra started hanging out with the wrong group – which led her to begin experimenting with cocaine. She said, “All of a sudden they broke out this white stuff, I did it, and I started feeling this big ball of chalk going down my throat and I was like ‘what in the ****! Ew, this is so gross.’ After that I started feeling pretty good. That was the start of my drug days.”
It didn’t seem to get any better as the years went on. By age 15, the drug use got worse and the suicidal thoughts came. There was even a time when Kendra’s mom Patty had to enter her into a secured psychiatric facility. Kendra compared it to jail, saying that they were not allowed to see daylight.
The stay did not steer Kendra in the right direction. In fact, she admits that it made it worse because she wasn’t wanting to change. She ran off with a guy she met when she was a sophomore. The two lived together and spent all of their time doing drugs. According to Kendra, it was “every day, every minute.”
Watch E! True Hollywood Story on Wednesday at 10 p.m. EST.
Angelina Jolie, actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, donated $75,000 to fund a new primary school for girls in Tangi, Afghanistan.
Jolie visited a refugee settlement in Afghanistan’s eastern Nangarhar province in October 2008 and was moved by stories of displaced families who were reluctant to sent their daughters to co-ed schools for cultural reasons.
Thanks to Jolie’s generous donation, the new all-girl school opened it’s doors Monday. The building features eight classrooms, four administration buildings and can accommodate up to 800 students.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, 14-year-old Laila expressed her excitement, “I always had hopes and dreams of going to school. The hope to become a qualified teacher has revived in me.”
Her father, Ustad, adds, “This is what we needed here and I believe there is a need for every community if we want to build the future of our country – to build schools and get education.”
Igbal Azizi, head of the region’s provincial education, stressed the importance of Jolie’s gift. Tangi girls, he said “otherwise would have been deprived of education.”
