Mike Tyson's Daughter's Death: Family Releases Statement

Sassy Smith — Wed, 27 May 2009 01:47:00 GMT

Mike Tyson's daughter Exodus, 4, was found hanging from a treadmill cable in the family's Phoenix home on Monday, May 25, by her 7-year-old brother. The little girl was rushed to hospital, however, she was pronounced dead at 11:45 a.m today, May 26, after being taken from life support. The Tyson family has released a statement:

From Foxnews.com:

Exodus Tyson's 7-year-old brother found her Monday with her neck in a cord dangling from the exercise machine, police Sgt. Andy Hill said.

"There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus," the family said in a statement. "We ask you now to please respect our need at this very difficult time for privacy to grieve and try to help each other heal."

"Our sympathies go out to the family," Hill said Tuesday.

"Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there's a cord that hangs under the console — it's kind of a loop," Hill said. "Either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose, and she was obviously unable to get herself off of it."

Exodus's mother took her daughter out of the cable, called 911 and attempted to revive her.

Responding officers and firefighters performed CPR on the little girl. She was rushed to nearby St. Joe's Hospital after she was found around 10:30 a.m. local time, MyFOXPhoenix.com reported.

Hill said former heavyweight champion Tyson, 42, had been in Las Vegas but flew to Phoenix immediately after learning of the accident.

"The Tyson family would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and support, and we ask that we be allowed our privacy at this difficult time," the boxer said in a statement.

Brief footage from local TV station KTVK showed Tyson arriving at the hospital in a white button-up and black pants, and looking around with a frown before going inside.

Hill said everything in the investigation pointed to a "tragic accident."

"There's nothing in the investigation that revealed anything suspicious," he said.

We send our deepest sympathies to the Tyson family. No parent should ever have to bury a child.

The Obama Text: Barack is My Booty Call

Whit Honea — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:16:00 GMT

Barack Obama sent out a text message and/or email to an elite few (or thousands) of people at a little before 5a.m. (ET) to officially announce his pick for his running mate before going to the media. That's 2 in the morning on the left coast.

That's right, just as I was stumbling out of the bar with a soiled liver and a loin full of hope I got beeped. That is perfect booty call timing. Turns out I wasn't his choice.

Actually, I was in bed. I'm a family man, you know. Barack Obama is also a family man and so is his pick Joe Biden (as we told you hours before the big news stations dared to run with it). Between Obama's young daughters and Biden's 5 grandchildren the South Lawn may soon be sporting some swings and one of those cool monkey bar things that looks like a dome. Those are awesome.

Here's the text officially announcing JoBama:

Whit --

I have some important news that I want to make official.

I've chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.

Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois -- the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago.

I'm excited about hitting the campaign trail with Joe, but the two of us can't do this alone. We need your help to keep building this movement for change.

Please let Joe know that you're glad he's part of our team. Share your personal welcome note and we'll make sure he gets it:

http://my.barackobama.com/welcomejoe

Thanks for your support,

Barack

P.S. -- Make sure to turn on your TV at 2:00 p.m. Central Time to join us or watch online at http://www.BarackObama.com.

See, Barack and I are close like that.

This is a shot of a famous couple from the 90's.

I think this is Tori's best picture of the bunch.

Not quite the makeover montage but fun none the less.

"Tori & Dean:Home Sweet Hollywood" is coming to an end.

To me it seems like it just started, it might be because I've been catching re-runs of the one from last season though. Don't worry it's only going away for the off season break. It will be back, Tori will make sure of it.

How did the couple prepare for the finale? They took a walk down memory lane.

Here is one of the four couples they dressed up as for the pictures.

Angelina's Twins are Coming When? The Doctor Speaks!

Whit Honea — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:17:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie's doctor (and apparent PR spokesperson) Dr. Michel Sussmann spoke to the press earlier today in Nice, France.

From People:

“Everything is normal,” the obstetrician said in French, as he also said in English, “She is very well, and she’s okay.”

“It is simply a visit of surveillance, no birth,” Sussmann said of his patient, who entered the hospital over the weekend. “Brad and Angie want everyone to know that everything is going well.”

Saying that Jolie’s “very, very nice,” the doctor added, “She will stay in the hospital until the birth. I will stay with her.”

When asked when we could expect two new Jolie-Pitts he answered, "In the weeks to come."

WEEKS?! WEEKS?! Come on, Doc, we've got lives, man. Give us a bone here.

Weeks. I bet he laughed all the way back to the break room.

Brad Pitt Leaves Hospital; Jolie's Doctor Calls News Conference

Whit Honea — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:29:00 GMT

This is Brad Pitt being driven out of the Lenval Hospital in Nice, on the French Riviera. I'm guessing he's heading home to check on the kids, maybe grab Angelina a Big Mac, take a shower and check his email before heading back to the hospital for the big delivery.

Angelina Jolie's obstetrician Dr. Michel Sussmann has called a news conference to discuss Angelina Jolie and the pending (?) delivery. Highly unusual in the Jolie-Pitt circle, isn't it? Maybe the good doctor thinks they can get some peace around the hospital with a few official words. I seriously doubt it.

Hope all is well.

UPDATE: Tori Spelling HAS Baby!

Whit Honea — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:57:00 GMT

UPDATED: Tori Spelling has had the baby. A baby girl was born via C-Section to Tori and her husband Dean McDermott this afternoon.

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT HERE!

Original Post @ 12:57 p.m. (PT) - Word on the information highway is that Tori Spelling has been admitted to Cedars-Sinai Hospital for her scheduled C-Section.

According to an inside source, Spelling is "bursting with excitement," which sounds kind of gross, but hey, I just write the stuff.

In Touch is reporting that the C-Section will be performed at 3p.m. (PT) by Anglina Jolie's doctor: “Dr. Jason Rothbart, Angelina’s doctor, will perform the surgery.” I hope Dr. Rothbart has a jet standing by (unless of course Angelina's babies were born already).

Tori isn't alone at the hospital, so you don't have to run down there. She is with her husband Dean McDermott, my co-worker Candy and her son Liam.

According to sources, Clay will take an active role in the baby's life.

K-Fed Finally Speaks Out

Karen — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 19:30:00 GMT

Kevin Federline has kept his voice out of the media for so long, but he told Interview magazine his feelings on the situation between him and ex-wife Britney Spears.

"Even though everything is so publicized and everybody is looking at it, it's normal for us.

“People put it up on this pedestal when it's really the same way that everybody else goes through their stuff, you know? It's not really any different.

“I mean, I could sit down and explain that to people, but they all already know how I feel. I think the infatuation with the whole thing is that watching us go through things makes other people feel normal."

I'LL SAY.

When asked how he felt about the public using his ex-wife's antics as entertainment, he replied:

“I guess that's the way I have to look at it. I'm not completely willing to give in to everything that's been done. But that's the way that things have happened and I'm not that completely upset by it either.

“I've gained a whole lot of stuff I've wanted to do out of it, too. But I don't think it hurt the relationship, and I don't regret letting people in.”

Look for February's Interview magazine for the full scoop on K-Fed and Britney's highly publicized split. Say what you want about Kevin Federline, but it seems he is coming out as the good Daddy in this whole thing. Hopefully those boys are protected and loved in his home.

Jamie Lynn Gets Support From Kevin Federline

Karen — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 15:06:00 GMT

It's no secret K-Fed knew of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy before Britney, in fact it seems the Spears family is closer to him than to their own flesh and blood.

"Kevin has long thought of Jamie Lynn as a little sister. He was heartbroken because he was concerned about what it would mean for Jamie Lynn's future." But now that the dust has begun to settle, "he just wants to be part of the support system."

OK! Magazine asked the question this morning, "Who do you think Jamie Lynn should get parenting advice from?"

I can't believe my favorite answer was Kevin Federline!

Jamie Lynn Spears Shows Off Her Baby Bump

Sassy Smith — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 21:04:00 GMT

New photos have been taken of pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears and her on again, off again boyfriend, possible baby daddy or not, Casey Aldridge.

MORE PICS AFTER THE JUMP

And I have to say, she does not look 14 weeks pregnant. Sure it could be the dress making her appear bigger than she is but I don't think so. She's a teenager, with a flat belly and a first pregnancy, so her baby bump should not even be showing if she is only 14 weeks!

There'll be no more denying things when she pops that little Spears out in March!

TOM CRUISE LOVE AFFAIR?! Did Tom Cruise Cheat on Katie Holmes?

Whit Honea — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 19:45:00 GMT

This is Tiffany Dupont. I know, I've never heard of her either. There are rumors running rampant through the internets that she has confessed to having an affair with Tom Cruise. The same rumors allege that she also slept with George Clooney, but come on, we expect that, who hasn't?

Tom Cruise, however, seems far fetched, and not just because she's a woman.

The story goes as follows:

Struggling starlet Tiffany Dupont has come forward with claims that she had an affair with actor Tom Cruise during his marriage to Katie Holmes.

In an e-mail, Tiffany told celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton that she slept with Tom, in addition to actor George Clooney, to ‘boost her acting career.’

The email reads: “I want to let you know a little secret that I don’t care to keep anymore. I actually slept with Tom Cruise and George Clooney.”

”I had sex with both of them this past year” the email continues “The way I did it was that I actually offered myself to them when I got a chance to meet them hoping that would boost my acting career.”

She's a looker and all, but I'm not buying it. Besides, I think she would boost her career more with mention on Perez Hilton than a night in Cruise's bunker.

The Crowes Are Bored Too

Russell, Danielle and Charles Crowe were seen puttin' around... and that's all I got.

Damn, don't we have a bunch of women ready to pop? Where are all the breaking birth stories?

In the meantime, Russell, whatever your wife is saying, the kid doesn't want to hear it. You, however, have the poker face of a priest. Nice.
