Jack Warden, an Emmy-winning and Academy Award-nominated actor who played gruff cops, coaches and soldiers in a career that spanned five decades, has died. He was 85.Warden, who lived in Manhattan, died Wednesday at a hospital in New York, Sidney Pazoff, his longtime business manager, said in Los Angeles Friday."Everything gave out. Old age," Pazoff said. "He really had turned downhill in the past month; heart and then kidney and then all kinds of stuff."Warden was nominated twice for supporting-actor Oscars — for the 1975 movie "Shampoo" and in 1978’s "Heaven Can Wait."He won a supporting actor Emmy for his role as a coach in the 1971 made-for-TV movie "Brian’s Song" and was twice nominated in the 1980s for leading actor in a comedy for his show "Crazy Like a Fox."

American Idols going to the White House |

President Bush is about to come face-to-face with the one man who has his voting record beat.Bush plans to host “American Idol” Taylor Hicks and the other Top 10 finalists next Friday in the Oval Office. It will be the first time contestants from the hit television show have been invited to meet the president.Hicks won the most recent season’s contest May 24 after 63 million votes were cast for him in the season finale. That’s more than the 59 million that Bush got in 2004, a record in any U.S. presidential election. Although, to be fair, voters can cast more than one ballot on “American Idol.”The White House announced the Idols’ upcoming visit Friday as Bush traveled to Colorado for a Republican fundraiser.The meeting is scheduled for July 28, when the performers were scheduled to be in Washington for their “American Idols Live“ show at the Verizon Center. Hicks has a personal connection inside the White House: Susan Whitson, Laura Bush’s press secretary, taught him 9th grade English at Hoover High School in Birmingham, Ala.The finalists will get a tour of the White House before their audience with the president. It was unclear if runner-up Katharine McPhee would be among the group since she missed recent tour stops due to bronchitis and laryngitis.

Fantasia almost quit American Idol |

AMERICAN IDOL star FANTASIA BARRINO almost quit the TV talent contest after friends and family revealed all about internet hate campaigns in phone calls. The singer and her fellow Idol contestants were forbidden to surf the Internet while they were on the show, but that didn’t stop family and friends from checking the latest gossip and hate campaigns in cyberspace. Single mum Barrino recalls, "People from home could go on the internet, and they would call and say, ‘Listen, let me tell you what they are saying. You know, they are saying that you are not good for kids, and you are not a good role model, and how could you be this, and how could you be that?’ "I could have given up then. I could have been, like, ‘Man, that’s it.’ I would tell my mom, ‘Mama, I’m not going to win this. They won’t give me a chance. They won’t see that I’m trying to better myself.’ "But I said, ‘Do you know what? I’m going to tough it out. I’m going to fight it to the end. I’m going to take it as far as I can take it.’"

Buy a bed that Keanu Reeves slept and made love on! |

KEANU REEVES LOVE BED This one of a kind bed was used by Keanu Reeves and his longtime girlfriend dozens of times. You always wanted to sleep with Keanu? This may be your best chance! The wooden bed itself was handmade, and is worth in excess of $500 even without its incredible history. Specific details on who the bed belonged to available by request, and a certificate of authenticity will be given to the lucky buyer. As it is quite heavy, it will have to be taken apart and shipped. Local buyers may arrange to have it picked up.
eBay
I can not belive she asking for $2,000 for it!
DISCLAIMER: That is not the bed for sale
