Sarah Jessica Parker Not Dead

The fake celebrity death circuit took a break over the Northern winter, but now as things warm up so do fake deaths, and today’s fake is “Sarah Jessica Parker is dead.”

The Sarah Jessica Parker is dead rumor surfaced yesterday (April 1) and claims that she “fell to her death” in the early hours of Wednesday.

Because these rumors rarely make sense, she apparently fell to her death in a car accident (cliff maybe??) and husband Matthew Broderick, and their seven year old son, James Wilke Broderick were also in the car. Sarah Jessica Parker and James Wilke Broderick are alleged to have died on the spot, with Matthew Broderick was taken to the Cedars Sinai Hospital in a critical state.

We’re only giving this a two out of ten on the fake celebrity death scale. Just for the record, Sarah Jessica Parker is not dead, Sarah Jessica Parker has not died, nothing more to say here.



John Forsythe of “Charlie’s Angels,” “Dynasty” dies

Actor John Forsythe of TV classics Dynasty and Charlie’s Angels has died at the age of 92, his publicist Harlan Boll reports.

Forsythe died in Santa Ynez of complications of pneumonia, and had been battling colorectal cancer for a year. Although Forsythe had a long career on the stage and in films, he was best known for his role as Blake Carrington on the hugely popular 80s nighttime soap Dynasty. Forsythe’s website describes the actor’s early career and service in World War II:

His early career was interrupted by World War II. During the war, he made his Broadway bow in 1942.  He entered the Army Air Corps appearing in the Air Corps Show WINGED VICTORY.  That same year, he was brought to Hollywood by Warner Bros, where he was immediately cast in the wartime dramas DESTINATION TOKYO (1943), his first significant film role, and  ACTION IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC (1943).

Funeral and memorial service plans have not been announced.



Florence Welch’s Spirit Sensitivity


Florence Welch feels “sensitive” to ghosts.

The Florence and The Machine singer, who collects vintage photographs, constantly thinks about the former existence of dead people and sees it as a reminder that she is not immortal.

She said, “I don’t see myself as possessed exactly, but I do feel sensitive to the past. To ghosts.

“It’s like the photographs in my bedroom – all those people lived and died and one day so will we. Sometimes I can’t quite get that out of my head.”

The singer also admitted she is struggling to cope with her success because of how “serious” her career now feels.

She explained, “I’d always thought, ‘It’s not going to happen for you.’ And now it has I’m trying to get used to it. The hardest part of that is it used to feel so spontaneous and light hearted. Now there are lawyers and schedules and meetings and it feels quite serious.”



Cameron Diaz’s Stunt Double Gift


Cameron Diaz reportedly treated her stunt double to a holiday after shooting wrapped on ‘Knight and Day’.

The actress, who stars in the upcoming movie with Tom Cruise, paid for the on set action woman to holiday to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, as a way of saying thank you for all her hard work.

A source told the National Enquirer magazine, “There were a lot of serious stunts in the movie. The double got pretty banged up, Cameron sent her away to heal her bruises in peace.”

In the film, Tom plays secret agent Milner who goes on a blind date with Cameron’s character June Havens and the pair end up having to protect a powerful battery that can produce infinite power.

The majority of shooting took place at the end of 2009 in Boston, Bridgewater and Melrose, in Massachusetts, while some scenes were filmed in Spain and Austria.

The action comedy marks the first time the Hollywood pair have starred together since 2001’s ‘Vanilla Sky’ and it is due for release this coming June.



Military Mother Sarah Jessica Parker


Sarah Jessica Parker thinks being a mother is like a “military operation”.

The ‘Sex and the City’ actress, who has nine-month-old twin daughters Marion Loretta and Tabitha Hodge and seven-year-old son James Wilkie with her husband Matthew Broderick, admits her mornings are so hectic, she feels like she is in both a comedy sketch and army operation at the same time.

She said, “Honestly, it’s funny. It’s comedic. It really is. There is so much organization and advanced planning that happens, like a military operation and with a seven year old who has needs, too. They’re different. The bag is less but it’s crazy.”

The 45-year-old star has also admitted she was amazed by how dramatically her life changed when she went from being a mother-of-one to suddenly having three children.

She explained, “There’s no sugar- coating it. It’s wonderful. It’s what we wanted. We didn’t want twins but we wanted a bigger family and it’s a blessing. It’s a thrill. But it couldn’t be more different. I mean, it’s daunting in the beginning with all the paraphernalia: the diapers, the ointments, the bottles, the pacifiers… the list just goes on. With two more, you’re carrying suitcases. It’s hilarious.

“They’re as different as they can be. It’s wonderful. It’s good for them, that they will be their own people.”

Sarah has also admitted she doesn’t mind being a working mother as long as her children are “healthy” and “loved”.

She told new! magazine, “I see a lot of working women all over the world having to juggle those two things. The most important things to me are my children and their well-being, and that they are loved and that I have created a life for them that is healthy and nurturing. If that is the case then I can make the choice to work. If that is not the case and the situation doesn’t allow for that, then I don’t work, so I try to make choices based on that.”



Jennifer Aniston Shocked By Courteney Cox-Arquette


Jennifer Aniston was “shocked” when Courteney Cox-Arquette flashed her flesh on TV.

The former ‘Friends’ actress was completely surprised when her pal and co-star bared all for her latest drama series ‘Cougar Town’, where she plays a woman who embarks on a series of romances with younger men.

Despite her insecurities, Courteney – who has a five-year-old daughter Coco with her husband David Arquette, wanted to shoot the scenes because she felt it was important to show what real women look like.

She said, “I think it was an important thing to do. This show talks about real things and real experiences, so I think I had to. I know my friend Jennifer Aniston was shocked I did it. Some people may not want to show parts of them that are not the very best and that’s alright. I decided to show, and I don’t care. It was important to show the real side of being 40.”

While she was happy to expose her body on screen including flaws, Courteney tries hard to minimise her imperfections with a strict exercise regime.

She explained, “I try really hard. I walk, I run, I do elliptical, I do band work, weights and dance aerobics. I play tennis and I eat really well… But I was also lit very well. Don’t mistake Hollywood lighting for reality!”



Jennifer Hudson: The New Face of Weight Watchers


Jennifer Hudson is the new face of Weight Watchers.

The Oscar winner has lost around 60lbs since she gave birth to her son David Jr. with her wrestler fiance David Otunga last August and she credits the company’s eating plan for helping her achieve her new slim-line figure.

During an appearance on TV show ‘Good Morning America’, she told host Robin Roberts yesterday, April 1, “I decided to do Weight Watchers. I feel like I’ve conquered the world… It’s a lifestyle change, not a diet. I don’t really diet as such. I actually get up and work hard every day.

“I make sure I eat right and just make sure I stay focused. It is about being consistent and sticking with it.”

Hudson was also adamant to point out she decided to lose her excess pounds for herself and to set a good example to her son, not to conform to Hollywood’s idea of what is beautiful.

The star, who was known for her fuller figure added, “I was very comfortable with myself before. I have a child now and I want to set a great example for him. Make better life choices, health choices, and just create a good example for him growing up.”

The 28-year-old actress, who won the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award in 2007 for her performance in ‘Dreamgirls’ alongside Beyonce Knowles, will appear in commercials for the company and will act as a spokeswoman.

She follows in the footsteps of other famous faces, including Jenny McCarthy and British royal Sarah Ferguson, who have acted as spokespeople for Weight Watchers.



Victoria Beckham’s Waistline Expanding Diet


Victoria Beckham is on a waistline-expanding diet in a bid to get pregnant.

The former Spice Girl – who already has three sons, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, seven, and five-year-old Cruz, with her soccer superstar husband David – wants to add a daughter to her family and has taken up a new eating plan loaded with carbohydrates to achieve her dream.

The 35-year-old star, who is known to predominantly eat fresh fruit and vegetables and steamed fish to maintain her slender figure, has been munching on pasta dishes, brown bread, rice and meals which include potatoes.

A source told The Sun newspaper, “It’s no secret Victoria and David want a little girl. She’s been told by docs her diet, though healthy, would not give her the best chance of conceiving, particularly in her 30s.

“Instead she has been advised to eat a lot more carbs and fatten up. She has agreed and David is over the moon.”

Although Victoria has agreed to overhaul her diet to conceive again, she won’t be gorging on any foods which are too calorie laden.

The source added, “She draws the line at junk food.”

In February, it was reported Victoria had become broody for a baby girl after her younger sister Louise announced she was expecting her fourth child.

A source close to the family said at the time, “Louise has just told everyone she is expecting and Vic has immediately become broody. She and David have always wanted a girl. He’d love more kids.”



Pamela Anderson To Work in a Pub


Pamela Anderson wants to work in a pub.

The former ‘Baywatch’ beauty plans to learn how to pour the perfect pint of beer, so she can get a job working behind the bar if she ever runs out of work as an actress.

She said, “I’m going to learn how to pull a pint. It’s another life skill, along with dancing, so I can always fall back on that if the work dries up.”

However, the 42-year-old beauty is currently in work and performing in US TV talent show ‘Dancing with the Stars’ alongside a host of celebrities, including Nicole Scherzinger and astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

Pamela is determined to stay in the competition as long as possible, despite struggling with “two left feet”.

She said, “I started off thinking, ‘If I just learn one dance, I’ll be fine’, but now my competitive edge is creeping in.

“Nicole’s a real dancer so I think they’ll have to set the bar a little higher for her than for me, because I have two left feet.”



Sinitta Won’t Upstage Mezhgan Hussainy at Her Wedding


Sinitta has promised not to upstage Mezhgan Hussainy at her wedding to Simon Cowell.

The ‘So Macho’ hitmaker, who has previously dated the music mogul, insists she won’t try and stand out by wearing an attention-grabbing outfit, like the infamous palm leaf dress she wore on UK TV talent show ‘The X Factor’.

She said, “What will I wear to the wedding? Oh my gosh. It’s going to be Mezhgan’s day so I don’t think I’m going to be trying to upstage her. The after-party however…”

Despite reports claiming Sinitta is helping her close pal plan in his wedding, she insisted she is just going as a guest who will be “proud” of her friend.

She told BANG Showbiz, “It’s not me organizing it, it’s actually another friend. I just get to turn up and support my little boy Simon. I’m just gonna turn up and keep pinching myself that it’s actually happening. I’m really pleased. It’s a big deal.

“I was like, ‘Simon, you are going to end up a very, very, very, very old man, with all of us chicks all around you’. They are in love and it’s cool.”
