Zsa Zsa Gabor was rushed to the hospital after she fell out bed yesterday. Her publicist told CBS News, “She was watching her favorite show, ‘Jeopardy,’ when the phone rang,” he said. “She reached over to pick it up and fell.” After the doctors examined her, her rep said that they said that the 93 year old actress suffered several broken bones including a broken hip. He added that she will be undergoing hip replacement surgery tomorrow.
Zsa Zsa is partially paralyzed from a car accident in 2002 and reportedly suffered a stroke in 2005.
Let’s pray that she has a speedy and as painless as possible recovery.

Barbara Eden and Debbie Reynolds attended the Grand Opening Of The Casino Club At The Greenbrier and the two ladies put the red in red carpet. The 75 year old TV legend and the 78 year old movie legend were two red hot GILFs in their red dresses and they painted West Virgina red in those gowns! Seriously don’t both them look stunning and ageless! They sincerely never age. Now we know it wasn’t only Jeannie that didn’t age, but also the woman who played her!
I really hope I can look as good as they do when I am there age!

Phyllis Diller is 92 years young and she still knows how to work a red carpet better than anyone! She was the plastic surgery queen before Joan Rivers and Kathy Griffin and she looks 92% (a percentage for each she has been alive) natural and better than them. Seriously doesn’t she look great? She doesn’t look anywhere close to her age. If any of her plastic surgeons are still practicing or even alive, I totally want their numbers because they know to do it right.

The sun won’t come out tomorrow for Little Orphan Annie |

Leaping lizards, after 85 years Little Orphan Annie is coming to an end. The comic strip that launched a radio show, a Broadway show and movie versions of the show will cease to run on Sunday, June 13th. The strip that was launched on August 5, 1924 and once ran in over 100 newspapers is only seen in less that 20 today and that is why The Tribune decided to pull the plug on it according to The NY Daily News.
Although I haven’t read Little Orphan Annie in years, I am going to miss her, Sandy and Daddy Warbucks. So on June 13th put on something red and sing The Sun Will Come Our Tomorrow in her honor.

Hugh Hefner saves Hollywood |

The land behind the Hollywood Sign was in the process of being developed for luxury homes, but The Trust for Public Land wanted to stop it and needed to reach $12.5 million to do so. For the last year they have been trying to raise the money and with the deadline approaching on April 30th and almost $1 million short of the goal, it was looking like the land that was sold to a developer in 20002 from the Howard Hughes estate would remain in their ownership. That was until yesterday when the ultimate Playboy Hugh Hefner forked over the final $900,000 they needed to make the land that was originally bought for Ginger Rogers theirs. I wonder if thought he was buying the two biggest breasts every time he looked two O’s like that. Or that is what his many girlfriends say when they are in bed with him…O O. Or maybe because Holly Madison always gave him Wood and he wanted something that would remind him of it. Either way what he did was a great thing and I am glad that the land was saved from being developed because even though I have lived in LA since 2001, I still get a thrill every time I see that sign. It really is a true Hollywood landmark and needs it own land even if that word disappeared from the infamous sign decades ago.
Hugh Hefner was not the only Hollywood type to donate money to the cause, here is a list of the others The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, CBS Corporation, The Entertainment Industry Foundation, Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall, the Lucasfilm Foundation, NBC Universal, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Steven Spielberg, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. and Time Warner Inc., and The Walt Disney Company Foundation. Other Hollywood contributors include Creative Artists Agency, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, and Norman Lear.
BTW here is a little Hollywood Sign trivia, this is not the first time Hugh Hefner saved Hollywood. Chris Baumgart, Chair of the Hollywood Sign Trust, said, “The Sign you see today exists because Hugh Hefner raised the money in 1978 to re-build it. Now, 32 years later, the Sign’s number 1 fan has come forward again with the closing gift to ‘Save the Peak’ and thus the view of Mt. Lee and the Hollywood Sign.” Hugh Hefner paid $27,777 in 1978 to convert the letter Y from wood into steel. Alice Cooper owns the second O in memory of Groucho Marx, how crazy is that?
