HOLLYWOOD THIS WEEK 8/10

Actor and comedian Bernie Mac dies at age 50

Bernie Mac died Saturday at age 50. "Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning (Saturday, August 9, 2008) from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles. She said no other details were available and asked that his family's privacy be respected. The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.

"Wherever I am, I have to play," he said in 2002. "I have to put on a good show."

In his 2004 memoir, "Maybe You Never Cry Again," Mac wrote about having a poor childhood — eating bologna for dinner — and a strict, no-nonsense upbringing.

"I came from a place where there wasn't a lot of joy," Mac told the AP in 2001. "I decided to try to make other people laugh when there wasn't a lot of things to laugh about."

Mac's mother died of cancer when he was 16. In his book, Mac said she was a support for him and told him he would surprise everyone when he grew up.

"Woman believed in me," he wrote. "She believed in me long before I believed."

Hollywood this Week Special: TEEN CHOICE AWARDS 2008

The Teen Choice Awards show is taking place right now! It is 7pm here in Los Angeles. The question you are probably wondering is did Wentworth Miller show up?? Well I don't know yet. The red carpet event just finished an hour ago and right now everybody is inside the Gibson Amphetheatre enjoying the awards. I'll keep you all updated! Stand by... There is more news to come!!

***Updated news!!***
Among the attendees of the Teen Choice Awards: Scarlett Johansson, Lil Mama, Mariah Carey, the Jonas Brothers, Cheetah Girls, Loren Conrad, Brenda Song, Tia Mowry, JoJo, Dillon and Cole Sprouce, Selena Gomez,Chase Crowford and a bunch of other celebrities. Guess who did NOT attend? That's right! Wentworth Miller!!!! Did he win anything? I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

Did Prison Break or Wentworth Miller win??
I hate to be the one to say tell you guys that Prison Break did NOT win.
I also hate to tell you guys that Wentworth Miller also did NOT win. It's a good thing Went didn't show up. The Teen Choice Awards holds no prestige and they are nothing big anyway. So I am glad he decided to stay home. So there you have it everybody.
Have a GREAT WEEK!!!

Prison Break News 8/3

PRISON BREAK SEASON 5????

There has been some talk about a season 5 of prison break. Am I referring to Fox talking about a season 5? No. It is being said, however, that because there is so much promotion for season 4 and that the amount of people watching prison break is so big that it is possible that prison break could easily run yet another season. What do you think about that? Should there be a season five? Personally I think its WAY too premature to say. Season 4 hasn't even started and there are predictions of a season 5. This is in no way official and I don't think it has been brought up by Fox, It is just guess that is going around. I think they should kill the show while they're ahead. But that's just me.

Hot Man of the Week 8/3

Welcome back to our hot man of the week post!!! This week we have an amazingly talented actor/model his name?? Ian Somerhalder!!!! Are you a "Lost" fan?? Well, you might remember him from season 4 of "Lost" he was the first actor cast to be one of the survivors!

This blue eyed hunk was born December 1978 to a massage therapist mother and a building contractor father in SoLo's home state of LOUISIANA!!! This Covington, Louisiana hottie began his career at age 10 modeling for Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabanna, Gucci, Versace and Guess. He was actually the face of guess for two consecutive fall seasons!!!

SoHo & SoLo Lingo 8/3

This week's SoLo and SoHo's word is "bad-ass"
This term is used to describe something or someone that you really like and that you think is totally AWESOME!!!

For example "Her style is 'bad-ass'!" or "I like her. She's so funny and always happy! Dude, she's insane... she's a total 'bad-ass'"!

This term was used very often by me, SoHo, while attending culinary school. My chef instructors found it hilarious that I kept saying everything was "bad-ass" and would joke around with me and tease me about it sometimes. However, I said it soooo much that after graduating from culinary school, I went back to visit my chef instructors and they told me that they now use the term "bad-ass" too!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! There is nothing more funny than having your former chef instructors saying they've adopted your word! Ha ha ha ha ha!!

So with this little story, I am wishing all who read this a "bad-ass" week!!!!
