Tragedy! John Travolta’s Son Dies on Vacation in Bahamas!

This is awful!!! John Travolta's 16-year-old son, Jett, has died while on vacation in the Bahamas. Details are still sketchy, but it appears he died of a seizure after hitting his head on a bathtub. What's even stranger is that he was last seen heading into the bathroom yesterday, but his body wasn't discovered until 10 am today. Thoughts and prayers are with the Travolta family. This is so terrible! />...

Paris and Nicky Party in Australia for the New Year

56420682paris_hilton_nye122009121516am Here are some shots of Paris at her much-hyped NYE party in Australia for The Bongo Virus, which appears to be some sort of online social networking tool -- one that, I assume, will be reporting a loss for 2008. Maybe this shit is a bigger deal in Australia (anyone who lives there ever heard of it?), but I don't even want to know what they paid Paris and Nicky Hilton to show up there on New Year's Eve. Oh, and the party was an "online" party, so you could actually pay to attend the party via...

Blagojevich Appointee Will Be Denied Entry to Senate, Say Sources

Roland Burris Wow, is every aspect of the news more scandalous than celebrity gossip lately? It sure does feel like it. Okay, so remember how the governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich (pronounced Bla-GOY-uh-vich), was "allegedly" accepting bribes for who would get the Senate seat vacated by Obama? And that's super duper illegal and stuff? Well, he hasn't actually been convicted of this stuff yet, and he refuses to resign from him post despite his whole party begging him to, and he went right ahead and ap...

Matt Dillon Arrested for Speeding

Matt Dillon Arrested for Speeding in Vermont Pictures Photos But this isn't any ordinary speeding -- Dillon was going a whopping 106 mph on a Vermont interstate in a rented 2009 Chevrolet Impala. Talk about a badass ... I mean, if you're gonna drive over 100 mph, you just gotta do it in a Chevy Impala. It doesn't appear he was under the influence or on his way to get a blow job, so he'll probably get off with a slap on the wrist, although the law allows for him to be sentenced to up to three months in jail. He's scheduled to appear in court on Janu...

R.I.P. Claiborne Pell

Claiborne Pell The Rhode Islander who spent 34 years in the Senate and created the Pell Grants passed away in his home at the age of 90 after a long battle with Parkinsons. Vice President-elect Joe Biden, who served in the Senate with Pell, called him "one of our nation's most important voices in foreign policy for over 30 years ... Claiborne Pell was a man of extraordinary integrity, grace and decency," Biden said in a statement. "Because of Senator Pell and the Pell Grant, the doors of college have bee...

Ashlee Simpson Wentz Celebrates Being Able to Drink Again

56418722ashlee_pete11200915530pm Ashlee left the baby at home and took her new blond extensions and her hubby Pete Wentz to PURE in Las Vegas, where she downed champagne and partied the night away to ring in 2009. She's lost a lot of the baby weight, but you can tell she's still being careful to cover up her arms and her tummy. Which is totally fine by me! It's such a relief to find a celebrity who's actually human and doesn't lose the entirety of her baby weight in twelve days. That shit's insane anyway. [gallery]...

Charles Barkley Got His DUI on His Way to a Blow Job

Charles Barkley DUI Scottsdale Mug Shot 2008 Pictures Photos Heh. If you haven't read the full police report related to Charles Barkley's DUI arrest, I suggest you do, as it's a doozy (it's here). But, basically, Barkley was exceptionally cooperative and congenial with the police officers, and also very hilarious. They'd pulled him over for running a stop sign, but he'd picked up a chick on the side of the street before the arrest. Barkley told the arresting officer that he was going to drive around the corner and get a blow job from that chick. H...
