LONDON, England (CNN) — British reality TV celebrity Jade Goody died early Sunday morning following a public battle with cervical cancer, her publicist has announced. Jade Goody married her fiance Jack Tweed weeks before her death. Goody, 27, died in her sleep at home in Essex, east of London, just before 4 a.m. (midnight Eastern Daylight Time), a spokeswoman for Max Clifford Associates said. Goody’s husband, Jack Tweed, who she married last month in a lavish wedding ceremony, was at her bedside when she died, Clifford said. Her mother, Jackiey Budden, who was also at the house, said: “My beautiful daughter is at peace.” Goody leaves behind two sons, Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 4, by former boyfriend and TV host Jeff Brazier. “She died knowing that she had touched a lot of hearts and minds across the world,” Clifford told CNN by phone from Portugal. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he was “deeply saddened” by Goody’s death.

‘Dancing With the Stars’: Melissa Rycroft and Holly Madison join the fun
March 10, 2009
As expected, injured celebrities Jewel and Nancy O’Dell were replaced during Monday night’s premiere of Dancing With the Stars with Hugh Hefner’s former gal pal Holly Madison and Bachelor dumpee Melissa Rycroft.? Stepping in for singer Jewel, Madison was able to get in a couple of more days of rehearsal time (five total) for her trip around the dance floor. Meanwhile, Rycroft is having to rely heavily on her own dance background as O’Dell’s knee injury caused her to be an eleventh hour dropout and left Rycroft with only 48 hours to get ready — the least amount of anyone on the show ever.

Survivor - Week 4 Recap

It was a dark sultry sulky night, says Coach freshly back to camp after voting off Jerry who was weakened from eating beans or not eating beans or maybe he just needed an excuse to go AWOL. Coach says he and Erin got in a fight at TC over who was the better leader. He says she doesn?t know what she?s talking about. H ahs already set his sights on her being voted off next and announces that she is a CANCER ON THE TRIBE.
At dawn break Timbira sits around discussing who should be the leader and that Jeff showed his incredible brilliance bringing up that fact. Assistant Coach Tyson says he wasn?t paying attention and we see coach?s hamster spinning wildly on its wheel as he tries to figure out a way to spin this back to his favor. He finally says ?as much as I like leading, if you were voted off tomorrow I would gladly step into that role but I think that at this moment everybody including myself trusts you as being the leader. And as much as I would enjoy that role, we just need one person.? In private he again states if Brendan were voted off he would step up but doesn?t want to vote him off. He only wants iron that sharpens iron. These people here are new kids on the block. They haven?t been succeeding not thriving but existing. Look at me. Look at Brendan. Who looks stronger? I do. We need to thrive and not exist. I?ve been here they haven?t.

Real Housewives Of New York City: Quickie - Socialite Life
March 4, 2009
“The episode begins with LuAnn “The Countess” and Bethenny going surfing. You think you know someone! Never would we have imagined Royalty and Skinny Chick riding the waves. The Countess gives an impromptu etiquette lesson (seeing as she’s publishing some pretentious Countess manners book) to her daughter Victoria and friends. The advice is sage: Don’t keep your elbows on the table, don’t eat with your mouth open and put the napkin on your lap. We’ve never heard any of those before! The Modern Day Emily Post then gets steamed at the Count for not coming to watch Victoria ride at the Hampton Classic. She later tells Kelly she’s a “lucky bitch” for not having to deal with a husband. Hm. What chapter can we find that lesson?”

I’m a little nervous going into this week’s recap. Last week I was chastised on the message boards for using the word ”hillbillies” to describe Steve and Linda. I could see how people might think I was a snobby, patronizing Northeasterner. But I only used the term because Steve called himself a hillbilly. I figured if that’s how he wants to introduce himself, I can sure call him that myself. And I realize that the word doesn’t apply to everyone with a southern accent. I mean, I wouldn’t call Matthew McConaughey a hillbilly? I recognize that hillbillies very rarely run shirtless on the beach for the paparazzi. Unless of course, they’re trying desperately to get in the tabloid Spittoon Weekly’s regular column: ” Stars: They Am Just Like Us, Dadblammit.”)
‘The Bachelor’ Betrayal: Blame It on Melissa’s Parents - From Inside the Box - Zap2it
March 1, 2009
Rumors that Jason Mesnick will choose Melissa on next Monday’s Bachelor finale only to dump her during the After the Rose ceremony in favor of runner-up Molly have now given way to a report that attempts to cast Jason in a light slightly more glowing than “cad.”
According to a message board poster on the Reality Steve site, what we’re about to see is indeed along the lines of what was originally leaked but that Melissa’s actions result in Jason’s change of heart, rather than some grand ABC ratings plan.
The poster claims to be a 67-year-old former ABC employee who still knows many people involved with the show.
