		</div><p><img class="alignright" style="border: 7px solid black; margin: 2px 9px; float: right;" src="http://www.literaryillusions.com/photos/celebs/Love_looks_Terrible.jpg" alt="Courtney Love" width="250" height="375" />The idea of Courtney Love loosing powder is absolutely absurd. Now, you might want to take this news with a grain of salt, because it’s possible that Love was high and she snorted Cobain away. Anyway, the news is that Kurt Cobain’s ashes are missing. Love is saying that someone stole them. Apparently, she sprinkled some ashes in New York, some in Washington, and she kept some for herself.</p>
<p>She spoke to News of the World and told them:<br />
“I can’t believe anyone would take Kurt’s ashes from me. I find it disgusting and right now I’m suicidal. If I don’t get them back I don’t know what I’ll do. The sad news will sicken the millions of Cobain and Nirvana fans worldwide. They were all I had left of my husband. I used to take them everywhere with me just so I could feel Kurt was still with me. Now it feels like I have lost him all over again.”</p>
<p>The fact that Love is claiming she’s suicidal is mildly comical since she’s been trying to kill herself for years. Sure, maybe not in the same way Cobain did, but she’s trying in her own special way. Adding that Kurt used to be toted around with her is even more amusing. You can just see her carrying her urn to drug deals and facing it the opposite way when she’s with her new boyfriends. I wonder if she would drop a little heroin or coke into the urn when she was getting a fix? I mean, it would have been just like old times. No wonder she’s distraught, she lost her crack buddy. You know what they say. It’s only an addiction when you’re getting fucked up alone.</p>

Ashtyn is definitely the casual gamer in the family. A game fan since she owned an Atari, Ashtyn can remember when her brother rigged the television so he wouldn't lose his Super Mario Bros. game. That is, until the power went out! A fan of all things Mario, Ashtyn is a Nintendo loyalist. She digs playing Mario-style RPG games, watching others play violent shooters (because she sucks at them), and playing casual PC games (like Wedding Dash and Cake Mania). As of now, she is into the Wii and Nintendo DS, though she's certain the games for PS3 and Xbox 360 are more appealing.]]></content:encoded>

		</div><p><img class="alignright" style="border: 7px solid black; margin: 2px 9px; float: right;" src="http://www.literaryillusions.com/photos/celebs/Lindsay_in_NY.jpg" alt="Lindsay Lohan" />It seems impossible to go through a day without a piece of news about Lindsay Lohan. Today brings a couple of pieces on the former coked out celeb. I say former, not because I think she’s drug free, but because she has the sense to wipe the powder from her nose these days. Anyway, the first bit of news deals with Lindsay and her disinterest in seeing her father, who so rudely outed her lesbian love romp, as if America wasn’t smart enough to figure it out already. Micheal, the AA Douche of the Year, promptly recanted, claiming that his words were misunderstood, but we got them just fine.</p>
<p>So, Lindsay doesn’t want to see her daddy, but he wants to save her soul. To do this he has decided to plant himself outside of the Peninsula Hotel where Loho and SamRo were staying due to Sam’s deejaying gig. Lindsay ended up leaving the hotel early when she learned that Michael was looking for her. I can’t say I blame her. If you’ve read one ministry pamphlet you’ve read them all.</p>
<p>When Michael didn’t get in touch with his daughter he came back to the hotel the night of Sam’s event. He knew Lindsay would show up to support her lover so he sat outside waiting for his daughter to arrive.</p>
<p>Sources tell the NY Post:</p>
<p><span id="more-154"></span>&#8220;Michael was staking out the lobby and waiting for Lindsay to make an appearance,&#8221; said the source, &#8220;It was freaky. He was sitting on the steps and texting like mad, and looking very upset that she hadn&#8217;t arrived.&#8221;</p>

<p>In other Lindsay news, last night Lindsay and her DJ girlfriend were spotted at the Century City Hospital. Apparently the two were in the emergency room and reports are saying that Sam was the one to bring Lindsay in. The two were there for about two hours and then Sam took her home. Currently, there is no word on the reason for the visit, though we will keep you updated once we find out why the lovebirds were there.</p>

Former Top 24 <em>American Idol</em> contestant Luke Menard, who was eliminated fairly early during the seventh season of the show, has just recently been diagnosed with Stage Two Hodgkin&#8217;s Lymphoma.</p>
<p>People.com is reporting that David went to see his good friend Luke in the hospital just prior to being crowned the new American Idol. As David says, cancer has been apart of his life for a longtime. He plans to use his newfound celebrity status to help those with cancer and other people in need.</p>
<p>“Cancer is a very big part of my existence. I’m excited to be put in [the spotlight] where I can hopefully do something to help other people.&#8221;</p>
<p>David Cook has vowed to be there for Menard and his wife, no matter what they need from him. Cook and Menard became close friends along with Michael Johns and Jason Yeager during Hollywood week. The four still remain close.</p>
<p><span id="more-141"></span>Kudos to David for being there for a friend despite an incredibly busy <em>AI</em> schedule and for helping others in need. We wish both David and Luke success and well wishes and healing thoughts to the entire Menard family.</p>

This is similar to sleepwalking except you multi-task. You have that dream of a rushing river so you get up, but in this case you’re still sound asleep. You begin to walk to the bathroom…or in this case….whatever you want to pee. Then you drop your pants and let the stream fly.</p>
<p>Well….it’s almost like this. Just ask Dee Snyder, the frontman of Twisted Sister. Snyder is a part of a Reality show, <em>Gone Country</em>. Bobby Brown, aka, PeePee Brown, is also on the same show. The winner gets to test the waters in the country music genre. Unfortunately, for Snyder, part of the show involved almost getting peed on by Bobby.</p>
<p>Splash News Reports:</p>
<p><span id="more-101"></span>“I’m laying in my bed and all of a sudden I hear Bobby Brown stirring. He started walking over to my night table and he was getting his junk out. First of all I thought I was going to be raped by Bobby Brown then I was like, ‘He’s going to pee on me.’ I started snapping my fingers to get his attention and Im shouting, ‘Bobby, Bobby, Bobby &#8211; that’s the toilet over there. Next thing he headed to the door of the room and was about to pee there &#8211; so Im shouting no, no. His next stop was our closet, I was picturing him spraying all our clothes down, I’m like, no no! Finally he went into the bathroom and heard it hit water, rather than tile or wall.”</p>
<p>Bobby is really sorry. He admits it was a bad habit. He started doing it with Whitney, but admits, the crack high is better when mixed with a urine infusion.</p>

		</div><p><img src="http://www.literaryillusions.com/photos/celebs/Heath_Ledger_RIP.jpg" title="Heath Ledger" alt="Heath Ledger" align="right" border="7" height="362" hspace="9" vspace="2" width="250" />It is being reported that <strong>Heathcliff &#8220;Heath&#8221; Andrew Ledger</strong>, famous for roles in such movies as <em>Brokeback Mountain</em> and <em>Candy</em>, was found dead in one of his homes in Soho this afternoon. According to TMZ, Ledger was found by a housekeeper at around 3:35 PM. The untimely death of Ledger, a former native of Perth, Australia,  is shocking to those in the industry and especially those who were close to him.</p>
<p>Sources in law enforcement have informed TMZ that the death does not appear to be criminal in nature. Apparently, prescription pills were found near Ledger’s body, which makes the death appear to be a suicide or overdose. Further reports are starting to label the death as accidental though it is still too early to know for sure.</p>
<p>An autopsy is scheduled for sometime tomorrow though reports are now coming in that Ledger&#8217;s body was found face down with no visible signs of injury. It is also being reported that the bed was strewn with prescription medications making it appear more and more like an overdose occurred whether accidental or otherwise. To perpetuate things, friends of the actor have stated that Ledger had a substance abuse problem though he never went into rehab and it is believed he was clean for over a year.</p>
<p><span id="more-74"></span>The  housekeeper found Ledger in his bedroom unconscious. According to reports, the housekeeper went into Ledger’s bedroom to wake him for an appointment he had with a masseuse. When the housekeeper tried to wake him and couldn’t she called 911. The paramedics arrived to find Ledger in full cardiac arrest and he was pronounced dead at the scene.</p>
<p>The 28 year old Ledger leaves behind a two year old daughter, Matilda Rose, that he had with his former fiancée, <strong>Michelle Williams</strong>. The couple recently separated in September. Ledger will be seen in the upcoming Batman film <em>The Dark Knight</em> where he plays the Joker.</p>
<p>We will update details as they come in.</p>
<p>Update: <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/01/22/heath.ledger.dead/index.html">CNN is reporting</a> that pills that might be over-the-counter sleeping tablets were found near Ledger&#8217;s bed.</p>
<p>TMZ is reporting that Ledger&#8217;s family is really upset that the media is even reporting this could possibly be a suicide. Heath was not the type of person to take his life, family members say. It is also been confirmed that Heath was suffering from pneumonia at the time, which may explain why he was using prescription and over-the-counter medications.</p>
<p>A source close to Michelle Williams has stated that words cannot describe the pain she is feeling over the loss of Ledger, her former fiancé and the father of her child. She is reportedly on her way to New York as we write this update.</p>

		</div><p>It is doubtful that former US Marine, John Graziano knew that one car ride with Hulk Hogan’s son, Nick could essentially cost him his life. Earlier this summer, the two took a car ride and were involved in a race that caused Nick to lose control and connect with a tree. While Nick Bollea (the driver of the yellow Supra) was treated for minor bumps and scratches, John was placed in ICU and has been there ever since.</p>
<p>Over the last few weeks, both Nick and sister, Brooke have been reporting that John is doing better and expected to recover fully. However, these reports appear to be false. Whether it was false hope or the need to take some heat off Nick is unknown.</p>
<p>Court documents were recently opened that show that the Marine is still on life support today. While he is able to open and close his eyes he is not able to do anything else and it does not look like he will be able to improve in any way. A court appointed nurse, Joanne Jones, reveals that Graziano will respond to pinches and that he has a working gag reflex. However, he will not respond to light, sound, or touch.</p>
<p><span id="more-18"></span>Jones speaks of Graziano’s doctor when she says, “He states that this young man most likely will spend the remainder of his life in a nursing home.”</p>
<p>It has not been announced whether or not Nick Bollea will face criminal charges though it is likely that he could due to the severity of Graziano’s injuries.</p>
