Remember his good looks and sympathetic performances in movies such as Dirty Dancing and Ghost? That devilishly good looking romantic idol to millions, Patrick Swayze has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on Monday at the very young age of 57.

It was revealed in early March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from the disease and was fighting it bravely for the last 20 months. Initially, he responded well to treatment and was able to star as an undercover FBI agent in A&E's "The Beast". Barbara Walters interviewed Patrick in January and he admitted that the work was exhausting but the role felt right for his soul. He stated that he feels strongly that his work will be his legacy and we couldn't agree more.

The "Beast was cancelled in June because of his condition worsened - the cancer has spread to his liver.

He passed away at his home, with his family and left behind his wife of 30 years Lisa and his mother Patsy.

He burst onto the movie scenes and captured million of fans in his role as dance instructor Johnny Castle in 1987's "Dirty Dancing". His beautiful combination of masculinity and amazing grace created the image of cowboy with a tender heart. He had no fear and in following movies did all his own stunts - that is why his battle with cancer was so courageous and dignified.

Patrick became even a bigger star three years later by starring in "Ghost" with Demi Moore. That role earned him People magazine title of the "Sexiest Man Alive". And Whoopi Goldberg, who won Oscar for the film said it the best :" I believe in "Ghost" message, so he'll always be near"

And there is only one thing I can add to that - "Rest in peace dancing king"

I am sure you have all heard about this - and some of you probably witnessed it!

 Kanye West invaded the stage, rudely interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for the Best Female Video at the MTC Video Music Awards last night. He objected to Taylor's video being chosen over Beyonce's Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).

Can you imagine he actually thought it was OK just to tell Taylor that he will let her finish and that he is happy for her? Shamelessly claiming that Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time, he didn't  think for a second just how stupid he looked! The audience basically reacted with boos and laughter - no doubt laughing at his stupidity!

And to make him look even more ridiculous, Beyonce actually collected the night's top prize - Video of the Year later that night! And she met with Taylor backstage - I am sure she felt bad , but let's face it - she didn't do anything wrong!

Kanye apparently apologized to Taylor later on - but you know something? You just cannot undo something like this! He took the spotlight off highly deserving young artist, ruined a moment that should have been solely hers and the only thing I could suggest to organizers of any award event: Send a special- Not Invited- note to the guy! He honestly doesn't deserve the honour of being invited. Just remember - this is not the first time he has done this!

It has been 3 years since the lovable Kramer - a.k.a. Michael Richards - opened his mouth a little too much at the Laugh Factory performance. And he has paid for it with 3 years of slump in his career.

But, now he is smiling all over the place. He was just on the cover of Entertainment weekly and the next big step is being re-united in a episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" with his Seinfeld buddies.

Not sure about the details of that episode - but who would doubt that it will be good?

I kinda have to ask - do you think this will be the final step from that dark hole he has been in and - are you ready for him to be back?

So it’s official now – Paula's judging chair is being filled by no other than the awesome Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen announced it during a taping of her show yesterday, adding:”No one knows this..... not even Tony - I am going to be the new judge on American Idol” And this announcement was immediately followed by thunderous applause from the audience.

Seing it written like this, you might think that it is leading up to a joke. But no – this is real, she really will be the new addition to American Idol judging panel. And she adds to it that she loves reality shows, has watched every single Idol show and most important – and totally believable is her comment that she will be representing “peoples” points of view and opinions, because she will not be looking at the technical stuff. Her judging comments and decision will be coming from someone who loves music and would buy the CD’s – makes sense? You bet!

The lady is good – she is quick, smart and extremely popular. Some may think that sitting on the Idol judging panel may lower her popularity and her overall appeal - but – nah! I think it will do exactly the opposite – agree?

And what about Paula? The “Dancing with the Stars” is not going to happen, but she is still talking with ABC about her own show. Apparently, they are tossing around the idea of her own variety style show or a talent competition, where Paula would be like Simon Cowell. Really? Can she wear T-shirts as well as he does?

This guy just doesn’t stop doing stupid things and making stupid statements! I am totally disgusted with this selfish, ridiculous man! In yet another interview this week, Jon Gosselin firmly states that he loves his current ditsy girlfriend more than he ever loved Kate! That is definitely a pathetic attempt to do something about his present image, because all that is doing  is ruining it further and making him a total dirtbag!

He says that his 22 year old bimbo girlfriend Hailey Glassman is apparently total opposite of Kate and is his total “soul mate”. She understand him and supports him.....

Hey you idiot – how can even remotely compare her to the mother of your children and your wife for 10 years? Oh – maybe it’s because she will let you go out and screw around and ignore your responsibilities – i.e – your children? And do that with a smile and understanding? Just exactly what planet are you from? Most certainly not the one America’s favourite dads come from!

Michael Jackson's influence is getting more and more prominent and I expect it will just keep going on and on.

Now it has caused a upward shift in the cemetery world - the prices of graves near his tomb are sky-rocketing! According to a rep from the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, plots near Michael's final resting place have already gone up $2,000 - $3,000 each. Originally, the cemetery was selling the plots nearby for $7,000 each - now they are up to $9,900. And some people who already own lots near MJ's crypt are about to get a nice payday - apparently one person, who own a private crypt there is now asking $34,000 for a double unit inside the mausoleum.

Asking is one thing - actually getting it is quite another. But - according to the owner - the response was tremendous and they are weighting all their options.

Well - there you go - you can consider that a good in investment I guess.....

This guy is actually dumber than dumb. He beats up on Rihanna and now he is out to get absolution and have people symphatize with him?

Talking to Larry King the other day, you had to come to a conclusion that the guy is a total moron - just from listening to him. And btw - I couldn't listen to him for too long, cause my blood pressure kept coming up! He is sorry ? Sure he is and so he should be! So shut up and go do the time!

But nooooo - the idiot wants to go on Oprah! Seriously? Does he not know how Oprah feels and totally goes after anything that has anything to do with any abuse?

I guess not, because in his statement, he had the nerve to say that he has done a lots of favours for the big O - like going to Africa and performing for her school. So now he feels that she should try to help him because of that?

That is why I am very comfortably and confidently calling him "a total moron" - in summary:

You go and beat up on a woman and then you ask the most influential woman on the face of this Earth to condone what you did and help you?Of course she shot back right away - said she appreciated his involvement in Africa but as far as helping him and being in any way symphatetic?

Oprah's answer to that -  "I hope he goes and gets the help he needs"

There just seems to be more legal stuff going on with Michael Jackson's affairs - the auction house that was going to sell millions of dollars of property from Neverland has now filed legal papers. It's because everybody in the world is claiming they own the goodies.

Julien's Auction House are having a dispute with Michael's former manager Dr. Tohme as to who really controls MJJ Productions. Julien's has the goods that that are supposedly owned by MJJ Productions and that was disputed by MJ before he died. So basically - Julien's was caught in the crossfire and is hanging onto the goods for a fear that more lawsuits and claims on the good will emerge.

So Julien's Auction House is asking the court now to decide who gets what.

And it gets even more tangled, because the latest is that Dr. Tohme is clarifying this issue by saying that he controls MJJ Productions but admits that all auction items are in Michael's name. And adds that he is not trying to claim any of that property. And tangle this even more - he also stated that Michael was in charge of MJJ Productions - so all of this really sounds like the reason court papers were filed in the first place.

Are you getting this? Really - what is it they are all wondering about? Michael was fighting to get the stuff back and the only reason he couldn't get them is because the auction house claimed that someone else is claiming ownership. That someone else was good Dr. Tohme - so when he says he is not after it and MJ was in charge - where is the problem?

And like I said - there are millions of dollars worth of stuff - including 3 Rolls Royces and there things:

Can you believe Dr. Murray? Well - the police definitely do not believe what he told them. He claims that he gave Michael Jackson really low dose of Profopol. This is after the LA County Coroner has determined that MJ did die from the overdose of the drug. There were traces of other drugs in his system, but nothing that would cause him to stop breathing.

It is noted in the search warrant affidavit, as recorded by LA detectives in an interview that took place 2 days after Michael's death, that the dose administered was 25 milligrams. And that he previously gave him 50 milligram dozes but was worried that Michael started developing an addiction to the drug (really?????)  All of this because he was trying to help the singer to get some sleep.

So - let's get this straight - it takes approximately 400 milligrams of Profopol  for a person of same body weight as Michael to sleep for 8 hours - do the math - that is 16 times the amount that the good doctor claims he administered. So no wonder the police - and nobody else for that matter - believes the doc! Basically, the amount he claims he administered would not do a darn thing, much less help with the situation. So how much did he give him and where was he when Michael stopped breathing? And why is he not in jail?
