Week # 4 in Review
Pop star Britney Spears was again denied visitation rights to her children and was quoted as saying that it was a “wonderful day” when she left the courtroom after being informed of the judge’s decision to continue the denial of her visitation. It was speculated that Spears, in fact, informs the paparazzi of where she will be at any given time to ensure publicity and her on again off again boyfriend Adnan Ghalib was quoted as saying that his relationship with Spears is “far from over”. Spears’ sister Jamie Lynn announced that she would be giving up her baby so that her mother may raise it when she gives birth. This move is to ensure that she has a more normal teenaged life and so that she can continue her Hollywood career.
Musician Lenny Kravitz made the claim that he is celibate and has been for three years, Amy Winehouse was photographed and filmed smoking crack and the Academy Award nominations for 2008 were announced.
And just like that, as randomly and instantly as could be imagined, Academy Award nominated Heath Ledger died from something to do with prescription sleeping pills. Preliminary examinations proved to be inconclusive at revealing exactly what caused Ledger to die in his sleep but it was generally accepted that his death was an accident. Warner Brothers acknowledged Ledger’s death by placing the image of a black ribbon on the website pertaining to Ledger’s next film, “The Dark Knight”, the media and crowds of people stood around the front door to the building in which he was living on Broome Street and Fox Radio commentator John Gibson joked about it, calling Ledger a “Weirdo with a “serious drug problem”. Gibson was forced to retract his statement and to apologise. Court TV’s Star Jones wrote an editorial in the Huffington Post calling on people to leave the Ledger family in peace and for the media to cease printing rumours based on anonymous sources and blogger Perez Hilton declined to post some of the more graphic images the removal of Ledger’s body from the apartment in which he was found.
