“I think I survived by running away some. Running away to work. That’s the weird thing about grief. You can’t prepare for it. You think you’re gonna cry and get it over with. You make those plans, but they never work. … It hits you in the middle of the night – well, it hits me in the middle of the night. I’m out walking. I’m feeling quite content. And it’s like suddenly, boom. It’s like you’ve just done that in your chest.”

Liam Neeson, who finally breaks his silence about his wife Natasha’s death (which happened TWO YEARS AGO if you can believe it), gives personal details to Esquire magazine about how he handled his wife’s untimely – and fatal – skiing accident.  Natasha Richardson died shortly after suffering what was considered a run-of-the-mill head injury while skiing in Canada.

Ugh.  Seriously? My heart completely breaks for this guy. Here you have one of the most singly talented male actors on the face of the earth, who so publicly loved his wife, his best friend, his admitted soul mate, only to have her taken away so suddenly. It’s a damned shame, and at the risk of getting all philosophical on your asses (’cause it just happens SO MUCH, I KNOW), tell your loved ones just how much you love them. Like, right now. Because you never do know what the next day, or even hour, will hold, and that’s a scary fucking thing to behold.

Happy birthday Paris Hilton! You made it thirty years on this planet without your gitch getting a yellow ‘condemned’ paper slapped on it, managed to sleep with almost all of the F-list celebrity promoters/hangers-on in a forty-mile radius, and best of all? Managed to avoid any real, lasting friendships with, hell, anyone.  Kudos, girl!

Also, to any of the readers or fans (and OK, me) who thought that Paris might be pregnant (but who are we kidding – anything that radioactive has just GOT to be sterile), you’re wrong. At least, if she was before, she sure isn’t now. The tightness of that ill-fitting corset would be enough to induce an exterior fetal discharge any old day.

Happy birthday, sweets!

I heard this head-scratching story yesterday, and I failed to believe that there wasn’t more to it – in case you guys hadn’t heard yet, Malcolm in the Middle‘s child star, Frankie Muniz, reportedly got into some big-assed fight with his too-hot-for-Frankie Muniz girlfriend the other night, and it ended up with a gun held to girlfriend’s head, a gun held to Frankie‘s head, a trip to the police station, a reconciliation, another physical encounter, and then another public reconciliation – all this, JUST IN TIME FOR VALENTINE’S DAY.

Alright, let’s break this down. First, this girl? MIGHT KNOW BETTER. It never ends well for these cracked-out child stars, and getting involved with them out of the gate is only going to make a situation down the road worse. Second? What the hell is Frankie Muniz doing with a chick this hot? THIRD, what the fuck is with all of the guns-and-violence thing? Because that, in itself, is plainly the main issue we’re contending with here.  Unless you start to really consider the hot girlfriend thing, and then, ladies and gentlemen?  We have contention.
Though there was evidence of police documentation – this event DID occur, in some fashion or another – Muniz’s camp denies, denies, denies, claiming first that there was no gun involved, then that there WAS a gun involved, but it wasn’t loaded (turned out to be negated by law enforcement), and now – there’s just silence from all sides.

My thoughts? Whatever the hell this is all about, it’s probably not going to end well.

Justin Bieber isn’t just a pretty boy.  He’s a boy who has deep thoughts, deep thoughts that extend far beyond things like his attractiveness and his hair.  He’s a boy who thinks a lot of thoughts about the world around him, and it’s that kind of thinking that puts him a step above the rest.

From Rolling Stone:

On sex: “I don’t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them,” Bieber says. When asked if he believes in abstinence until marriage, Bieber – who is reportedly dating fellow teen star Selena Gomez – seems wary: “I think you should just wait for the person you’re…in love with.”

By the way, did you guys hear about how Justin spent part of his Valentine’s Day shopping at Victoria’s Secret with his dad? I think we can all just draw our own conclusions with that one.

America vs. Canada: The Canadian-born Bieber never plans on becoming an American citizen. “You guys are evil,” he says with a laugh. “Canada’s the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard’s baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby’s premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.”

On politics: He isn’t sure what political party he’d support if he was old enough to vote. “I’m not sure about the parties,” Bieber says. “But whatever they have in Korea, that’s bad.”

On abortion: “I really don’t believe in abortion,” Bieber says. “It’s like killing a baby?” How about in cases of rape? “Um. Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.”

So there you go, naysayers.  Justin’s intelligent enough to know that whatever they have in Korea is bad and that he hasn’t been in the position of an impregnated rape victim so he can’t pass judgement and really, what more do you want from him?
