Tears in Tinseltown

Natasha Richardson, the beloved wife of actor Liam Neeson, and daughter of the acting legend Vanessa Redgrave, died tragically on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 after a freak skiing accident. Richardson, a mother of two with Neeson, was a on a beginner's slope when she slipped and fell. She was not wearing a helmet. Autopsy results say that the actress suffered a brain hematoma. What shocks me the most about Richardson's death is not only how frightening it was seeing as the actress simply fell, but that Richardson was talking and joking about her fall. She was fuly aware that she had fallen and did not complain of headaches until an hour after her fall. I wonder if she knew what was happening or when she actually slipped into a coma. I also wonder if she was able to talk to Liam or her sons before she was in her coma. I am deeply saddened by her death and feel a lot of sympathy for Neeson and their two young children. I can not imagine losing a close family member over something that could have easily been prevented if she had been wearing a helmet or if she had been rushed to the hospital right away. It is tragic events like these that illustrate just how short life can be. You never know when your time is up. We should all live each day like its our last.

40 and Single: True Hollywood Story of Jennifer Aniston

After a public break-up with Brad Pitt, I have been rooting for Jennifer Aniston to find true love once again. While she has gone through several relationships since Brad Pitt, remember Vince Vaughn, it seems as though Miss Aniston may have found romance in a man that loves to swoon women from all over the world with his own love songs; John Mayer. While the couple has had their problems and break-ups and make-ups, after seeing the two together at the Oscars and hearing rumors that Jennifer had plans to have John Mayer's children, I thought for sure Jen and John would pursue marriage. I thought wrong. After a year of on and off again dating, Jen and John have called it quits...again. They had some disagreements and decided not to see each other anymore. Wasn't she planning to have his children a month ago and now they disagree and refuse to see each other? It seems like Hollywood has missed the memo on what it means to be in love with someone. Despite differences, if you love someone, you will try your best fo fix it. There are always going to be problems in relationships but I believe that it is the problems and arguments that couples have that make the relationship stronger. Perhaps 31 year old John Mayer is not ready to committ. Who is at their 30s these days anyway? Is there a new George Clooney on the horizon? Either way, the world can all agree that Jen needs to find a man that will treat her with the utmost respect and that will stand by her side, no matter what. Maybe Jen should follow her own movie advice. John is just not that into you. Find someone else.

Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man

Steve Harvey, the host of the nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show, believes that women have some major issues when it comes to relationships and figuring out what makes men tick. According to Steve it's because they're asking other women for advice when no one but another man can tell them how to find and keep a man. In Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, Steve lets women inside the mindset of a man and sheds lights on concepts and questions such as: —The Ninety Day Rule: Ford requires it of its employees. Should you require it of your man? —How to spot a mama's boy and what if anything you can do about it. —When to introduce the kids. And what to read into the first interaction between your date and your kids. —The five questions every woman should ask a man to determine how serious he is. While Steve is both funny and honest in this hit, he is direct when it comes to telling women what they should know when it comes to men. If the movie "He's Just Not That Into You" wasn't enough to satisfy your need in determining what men really desire in the opposite sex, this book will surely inform the uninformed what a man wants and what he expects from a leading lady.
