Johnny Depp’s Island Tribute to Heath
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Kind Acts, Meltdowns,
Johnny Depp dedicated part of his private island to Heath Ledger. The Rum Diary star and his long-term partner Vanessa Paradis occasionally let their pals use their island, which is in the Bahamas, including the relatives of the late Australian actor, who died of an accidental overdose in January 2008.
Johnny - who along with Jude Law and Colin Farrell stepped in to finish Heath's last film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - told the Daily Mirror newspaper, "After Heath Ledger died, I thought his family could use time away from the madness so they spend a good chunk of time there. There's a location there that we call Heath's Place."
As well as the tribute to Heath, parts of the island are dedicated to Vanessa and the couple's children, Lily-Rose, 12, and nine-year-old Jack. The island also has Keef Reef, Gonzo Beach and Brando Beach, named in honor of three of Johnny's friends, Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards, late author Hunter S. Thompson and deceased acting legend Marlon Brando.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Kind Acts, Legal Issues, Meltdowns, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Nicolas Cage is a free man… and he’s got reality’s Dog the Bounty Hunter to thank for it. The mulleted TV star posted the $11,000 bond to get Cage released after the actor was arrested on charges of domestic violence and disturbing the peace over the weekend in New Orleans, LA.
“I am truly a dedicated fan of Mr. Cage and will not be granting any interviews about my client, as I wish to respect his privacy,” Dog explained in a statement to E! News. “I performed my duties as a bail bondsman and not in connection with our show. This is what I do for a living.”
TMZ has managed to get video footage of an incident that preceded Cage’s arrest. In the video, the actor appears to be arguing with several people (his wife included) inside a tattoo parlor. According to witness statements, the actor grabbed his wife during their argument.

Lindsay Lohan Visits Shelter, Heading Back to Rehab
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Drugs, Kind Acts, Legal Issues, Videos, Paparazzi Videos, Rumors,
Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to bad publicity. The Razzie-winning actress famously failed two drug tests, was recently sent to jail twice and can’t keep her family problems out of the press. What’s the best way to counteract all the big, ugly headlines? How about with a few much nicer-sounding ones?
On the heels of her latest release from LA County, Linds has announced that she will be returning to rehab. Sources say she will “do more” treatment than what she was ordered to do recently (when her court-ordered rehab stint was cut short because she made such a huge improvement … remember?). In the meantime, Lohan is back to wearing an alcohol-monitoring SCRAM bracelet. Hmm…do they make a cocaine-monitoring bracelet?

Katherine Heigl Donates $1 Million to Animals
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Charity, Kind Acts,
Katherine Heigl has donated $1 million to help animals in Los Angeles.
The Killers actress has pledged the enormous sum to the city as part of a new initiative to get animals spayed and neutered in honor of her late brother Jason Heigl - who died in a car accident in 1986 when he was a high school student.
“I said to my mother, ‘I think it’s a really grace-filled way to honor him.’ My mother began the foundation in his name as a way of creating a legacy for this child of hers that didn’t live long enough to do that himself and he also happened to be a real advocate for animals and children and the repressed so it works out beautifully. It’ll never change how this day feels to us come September 23 every year. It has a significance now, of beauty, a grace to it, that we are grateful for.”
The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation aims to stop the pet population crisis in the area with neutering schemes, but also through its support of training and obedience programs, rescue organisations, ‘no kill shelters,’ pet adoption schemes and programs which help move homeless animals away from shelters which intend to put them down.

Betty White is a Calendar Girl for Animals
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Television, Kind Acts, Photos,
Continuing her path to world domination (one photo shoot at a time!), Betty White is now a calendar model.
The 88 year-old actress, whose show Hot in Cleveland was recently awarded a second season, is the star of a 2011 calendar that features various photos of White, including archival and newer ones co-starring shirtless, chiseled men (pictured to the right).
The calendar, priced at $12.99, will go on sale in September and benefit the Morris Animal Foundation, where White serves as a trustee.
We love Betty, but will you shell out $13 to put her on your wall (for the sake of the animals!), or is it just too much?

With a 4-week #1 song under her belt, Katy Perry celebrated by treating her mother to a facelift.
The “California Gurls” singer splashed out on a skin-tightening operation for her mother Mary Hudson, and her Christian pastor father Keith Hudson is so pleased with the results he has been bragging about how “amazing” his spouse looks.
“My daughter, little Katy Perry, bought my wife a facelift. Hallelujah! My Lord, does she look good. It is amazing what they can do. They took 25 years off her. I am serious - it’s amazing. I don’t know how I am going to handle this. I mean, she doesn’t look like her mother no more, she looks like Katy Perry’s sister. It’s going to be difficult because they’re going to say, ‘Who’s this old man with Katy Perry and her sister?’” the reverend told his congregation at The Way Family Church in Temecula, California.
Katy treated her mother to the operation in the run up to her own wedding to Russell Brand in September. Before they started dating, the comic was known for his womanizing ways but Keith is hopeful he will convert to Christianity and calm down once and for all.
“That Russell Brand - he’s a prayer challenge. He is searching for God and that boy is going to get saved. If he’s going to hang around us, he’s going to fall in! He’s hungry for God.”
