Is Ellen DeGeneres' Marriage On The Rocks?
by Daily Dish
posted Dec 12 2013 6:40AM
I thought these charges were a bit crazy when I heard them… and now Denise Richards has been cleared of them! The mother of three was surrounded with child abuse claims thanks to Brooke Mueller back on Thanksgiving, but has now been cleared by the Los Angeles Department of Children & Family Services. They did an investigation and determined that Denise Richards is totally innocent. Brooke Mueller has claimed that Denise Richards had abused her and Charlie Sheen's sons Bob and Max and Denise's daughters, too! But the accusations seem to be lies. Child welfare officers quickly established that there was no merit to Brooke Mueller's claims and found that no follow-up investigation would be necessary. The case is now closed. Those are some serious allegations, so I'm glad that she got them cleared!
DENY, DENY, DENY! During her monologue on
The Ellen DeGeneres Show
yesterday, Ellen DeGeneres slammed a tabloid rumor about her marriage with Portia de Rossi. Ellen DeGeneres denied a recent magazine's "Ellen and Portia Marriage Crumbles" claim, which she first spotted after seeing the issue at a hair salon. She said her response was like, 'Oh, what happened? They seemed so happy.' And then I was like, 'Wait, I'm Ellen. And I should know if that was happening." But Ellen DeGeneres became slightly more serious while setting the record straight, saying, "It's so ridiculous to me. There's not one ounce of truth to any of it. I'm very happily married. In fact, the only thing we ever argue about is who loves who more. That is all. It really is true. And we argue if we'd let a kangaroo carry us around in its pouch for a year. I would. She wouldn't. She'll change her mind. Who wouldn't want to be in the pouch of a kangaroo for a year? Hopping around." LOVE HER!
She may be the highest paid actress on TV, but Sofia Vergara didn't get there on her looks alone. Sofia Vergara says that she's a tough negotiator, stating, "I think that the concept of being sexy and smart is difficult for many to grasp. Most people are more comfortable with the notion of 'sexy bimbo.' And I have to admit that I've capitalized on that to negotiate a couple of times, when the 'smart ones' think I have no idea what I can deliver, and I end up costing them more." Sofia Vergara made $30 million last year, and says she's not ashamed to say that she loves making money. Sofia Vergara admits, "I like business, and the truth is I save way more than I spend. I invest. I plan for the future. I have a special eye for opportunities and work harder than anyone might expect. It is fun to shock people with my business ideas." THAT'S A SMART WOMAN!
More details about how Paul Walker will be buried has surfaced. The Fast & The Furious
star will be cremated and laid to rest, in a very private ceremony in Los Angeles. His remains are at the cemetery, and the funeral will be simple. Just relatives will most likely be there to avoid the spectacle of media and fans in the wake of his death. They're still also going over details to how Paul Walker and his friend lost control of the car that crashed. If anything else develops we will let you know.
Madonna is on the market again! She has officially split from her boyfriend Brahim Zaibat after three years of dating! Madonna's rep has confirmed it. The relationship apparently just ran it's course. I'm being told that they were dancing and working together all the time and then they barely saw each other. Madonna, 55, and the 25-year-old dancer first began dating in late 2010 after Brahim Zaibat performed with Madonna's daughter at the launch of her Macy's clothing line. He went on to work as a backup dancer during Madonna's MDNA world tour in 2012. The odd part, the news of this split comes just weeks after Madonna was photographed reuniting with her ex-husband Sean Penn… interesting!
What a cool way to ring in the new year! Get ready to get your GLEE on because Jane Lynch will be joining Carson Daly as co-host of NBC's New Year's Eve coverage live from Times Square! I think they will be a fun team! Jane Lynch couldn't help but share her excitement, saying, "I'll be in the mix of it. I'm going to be freezing my butt off like everybody else. They say it's a real experience so I'm looking forward to doing it. I'm going to be calling Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper over all the time. We're going to have a friendly war going on." HAHA! Nothing like a little bit of friendly competition!
Carrie Underwood's performance in The Sound Of Music Live has already gotten some mixed reviews.. but what did leading lady Julie Andrews think of the remake? Looks like we'll have to wait a little bit longer to find out. Julie Andrews , who played Maria von Trapp in the 1965 film adaptation of Rodgers & Hammerstein's iconic musical, admitted she hasn't watched Carrie Underwood's live TV version yet. But it's on her to-do list! She said, "My kids did record it. I'll get around to it." That sounds promising!

Justin Bieber Cals A Girl A Beached Whale!
by Daily Dish
posted Dec 11 2013 6:26AM
Justin Bieber continues to bring the class! He didn't get into a bar fight or go to the bathroom in a bucket backstage this time. But what he did do instead is reportedly call a young woman a "beached whale!" Justin Bieber apparently made the harsh and very uncalled-for comment to the woman while she and her three female friends were wearing bikinis on a deck. Helen Robinett, an image consultant on business at the time, said "One girl who was gorgeous looking, with long dark hair and would have been about a size 14. Justin looked over at her and said 'What are you, Hawaiian or something?' She said, 'No, I'm not.' Then he said, 'You look like a beached whale'… The girl said, 'Are you serious' and he said, 'You should go on
The Biggest Loser
.'" According to the image consultant, the whole pool deck heard him say it and there was silence. It was like his security were used to it." Robinett was so upset that she also made a formal complaint to the hotel they were all at. A second guest staying at the hotel also allegedly saw Justin Bieber making a cruel gesture with his hands, imitating a large belly as he spoke to the long haired girl. HOW HORRIBLE!
This is crazy! Demi Lovato is opening up about how her cocaine addiction was once so bad, that she couldn't go an hour without using the drug. Demi Lovato hit rock bottom at 19. She said, "With my drug use I could hide it to where I would sneak drugs. I couldn't go without 30 minutes to an hour without cocaine and I would bring it on airplanes. I would smuggle it basically and just wait until everyone in first class would go to sleep and I would do it right there. I'd sneak to the bathroom and I'd do it. That's how difficult it got and that was even with somebody with me, I had a sober companion, somebody who was watching me 24/7 and living with me [and] I was able to hide it from them as well." Her drinking was just as bad. Demi Lovato said, "I was going to the airport and I had a Sprite bottle just filled with vodka and it was just nine in the morning and I was throwing up in the car and this was just to get on a plane to go back to LA to the sober living house that I was staying at," she said. "I had all the help in the world, but I didn't want it." Amazing to get clean after all of that and kudos to her for being HONEST about it!
They have a baby name! Simon Cowell plans on naming his first son, you ready for this? AFTER HIMSELF! This is according to an attendee of the baby shower that Simon Cowell threw on Sunday for his baby mama, Lauren Silverman. The attendee said that there was baby clothes and little games all personalized with the name 'Simon' for the baby. From what everyone, including Lauren Silverman was saying, they are 100 percent naming their son Simon. Initials for baby Simon were everywhere. HOW CUTE!
It's another boy for Kate Winslet! The Oscar winner welcomed a son, her first child with husband Ned Rocknroll and her third overall on Saturday in England! He was born at an NHS Hospital in Sussex County and according to Kate Winslet's rep, "baby and mother are doing great." No other information, like the little guy's name was revealed, but his last name is Winslet. Congratulations to them!
How cool is this collaboration going to be! Pitbull has pretty much confirmed something that we've all been hoping for… Shakira and Rihanna have DEFINITELY created something together!!!! I had heard rumors about the two collaborating but now we can put the rumors to rest! When discussing his single
with Ke$ha, he said,"The person we were looking at first to work on that record was actually Rihanna! And Rihanna had something she had to do with Shakira and wasn't able to work on our record." WHOOPS! Thank you Pitbull for spilling that bad boy!
Paul Walker may soon be able to rest in peace. Ten days after the actor died in a car crash, his remains have finally been released to his family! Paul Walker's remains were removed from the L.A. County Coroner's Office on Monday and transported to a local mortuary. His family will now decide how and when he'll be laid to rest. Paul Walker was killed on November 30th, when the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT that he was a passenger in crashed into a lamp post and burst into flames. Paul Walker is survived by his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow, his father, Paul Walker III, his mother, Cheryl Walker, and his siblings.
Barron Hilton, Paris Hilton's brother, has been threatened with the release of "incriminating photos" showing him in the hours before he was beaten up in Miami last Friday at the hands of actress Lindsay Lohan! Apparently, it's the real reason why Paris Hilton's brother is no longer cooperating with police who are looking into the incident. If those photos were released, it could tell a very different side of what took place at the home. Apparently there are currently no plans to release the photos unless false allegations continue to be made about Lindsay Lohan's involvement. If Barron Hilton decided to file a lawsuit against Lindsay Lohan, these photos would be used in her defense. She must have something serious on him!

Adam Sandler Is The Most Overpaid Actor Of 2013
by Daily Dish
posted Dec 10 2013 7:23AM
Big names at the box office usually make a film big money, but that's not
the case. Well, Forbes has officially named the Most Overpaid Actors of 2013. Calculations were based on the last three movies each actor starred in over the past three years. So who took the top three spots? Reese Witherspoon took the number three spot, bringing in an average $3.90 for each dollar paid. Katherine Heigl took the number two spot, returning an average $3.50 for every dollar she was paid, and the number one most overpaid actor is… ADAM SANDLER! His last movie,
Jack & Jill
grossed $150 million, but cost an estimated $80 million to make.
That's My Boy
, on the other hand, had an estimated budget of $70 million and only brought in $57 million at the box office. For every dollar Adam Sandler was paid in his past three films, each movie returned an average of $3.40. OUCH!
This is too funny! Where was the band Imagine Dragons when they found out that they were nominated for a Grammy? How about fast asleep! Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynolds went to sleep on Friday night as the frontman of the year's biggest breakout band and woke up on Saturday morning as the
frontman of the year's biggest breakout band. He said, "I was on the tour bus, driving somewhere in the middle of Spain, between Barcelona and Madrid. My family started texting me at like 5 a.m. with, like all caps and exclamations marks, saying we got nominated for a Grammy. Then, like 10 minutes later, it was 'Wait, you got nominated for
Grammy!' It was a very nice surprise to see in the wee hours in the morning." Their hit song "Radioactive: is up for Record of the Year and Best Rock. Too funny! Good luck to them!
After entering a not guilty plea in October, Khloe Kardashian's husband Lamar Odom has changed his tune and his attorneys instead pled no contest to his DUI. The end result? Lamar Odom will serve three years probation and will have to take an alcohol education class. Lamar Odom didn't appear in court and the plea was entered on his behalf by his lawyer.
Also, in an attempt to try and salvage his NBA career, Lamar Odom has agreed to undergo random drug testing in exchange for a spot on the Los Angeles Clippers. If he returns one dirty test, Lamar Odom will be suspended from the team immediately. That's enough to hopefully get him clean, right?
Honestly, I can't blame Jennifer Lawrence. She's madly in love with her boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, and the idea of him wandering into the arms of another woman just isn't going to fly! Jennifer Lawrence has supposedly become worried about her relationship because her boyfriend will be working with another young starlet, Kristen Stewart! Jennifer Lawrence apparently isn't too thrilled about it and doesn't trust Kristen Stewart, who cheated on Robert Pattinson with a married man! Sometimes, you have to worry about everyone else! But who would cheat on Jennifer Lawrence?!
Victoria Beckham is ready to put the past behind her when it comes to the Spice Girls. The pop star turned successful fashion designer says she has no "passion" for her former "girl power" persona. She said, "I realized it was finished for good in 2008, when we performed for our reunion tour. It should have been the best moment of my life, but I just wanted to be elsewhere." Victoria Beckham and her bandmates took a very long hiatus in 2000 but reunited for a 2007-2008 world tour. They also got together for the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony in London. Victoria Beckham finished by saying, "It wasn't a lack of respect for the girls or the audience, but the passion just wasn't there. By contrast, in my new career, the passion grows every year. I still want more." Sometimes you have to move on to get new and more success!
First Tom Cruise compared his job as an actor to being at war and now Kanye West is doing the same! Kanye West is saying that his profession puts his life on the line as well, stating that rapping is very dangerous work and that "this is like being a police officer or something ... or like war. You're literally going out to do your job every day knowing that something could happen to you." Kanye West says it's not JUST the physical risks like slipping on stage, but that he also risks getting his feelings hurt because people could watch a show and decide they don't like him. Awe, that's JUST like being a police officer or solider!
Never break Katy Perry's heart because she'll only end up making a killer album and selling millions. But that's not before going through the heartbreak first. It's been about almost two years since Russell Brand filed for divorce from Katy Perry, but she can still remember the heartache. Not only was Katy Perry devastated, but she says there were two weeks of her life after she found out the truth of her marriage where she was like, "OK. All right. I can't feel this. This is too intense right now." Katy Perry just ate Flamin' Hot Cheetos and drank, and that was IT! Her pain was so intense, that Katy Perry even admitted to thinking about taking her own life! She was publicly embarrassed! But she got by with help from hiking, vitamins, therapy, prayer and good friends. Oh, and let's not forget her now boyfriend of over a year, John Mayer! That's definitely one yummy way to move on!

Carrie Underwood Slams The Sound Of Music Haters!
by Daily Dish
posted Dec 9 2013 6:00AM
SNL is bringing the funny again! Comedic veteran Kristen Wiig returned to the show that made her a household name to reprise the role of Denise… and she even made her appearance in the
Sound of Music
spoof that opened the episode! Kristen Wiig played one of the Von Trapp children, who had some interesting incites into the musical's iconic songs.
he Sound of Music Live
aired on NBC on Thursday to a large viewership but mixed reviews. I think they did a good job though poking fun at all the hype!
Date night! And a much needed one at that for Adele and her boyfriend Simon Konecki. We almost NEVER see Adele anymore, and finally she took a night off from baby duty to go watch Lady Gaga perform an intimate set at a members-only club in London. Adele snuck into the event through a back door with her boyfriend and spent time hanging out with Sting and designer Philip Treacy while enjoying dinner in the back of the room. Onlookers said that Adele seemed very happy to be out and that the couple was very affectionate.
My question is when will she be back to the music?!
Talk about a fantastic FAN experience! Kim Kardashian made one teen very, very happy when she invited the girl and her friend to sit with her in the VIP section at her fiancé, Kanye West's Yeezus concert in New Orleans. The fan tweeted before the show that she was looking for Kim Kardashian in the crowd. Seeing the tweet, Kim Kardashian decided to tweet back and wrote, "I'm sending someone to go get you so you can come sit with me!! Need your seat # & section. DM me ASAP!!!" The rest of the incredible night was shown through the fan's Twitter account, where the fan said that Kim Kardashian's security came to get her and her friend. When they got to the VIP section... Kim Kardashian immediately stood up and waved for them, even took a picture with her. At the end of the concert, Kim Kardashian invited the teen and her friend to go backstage to meet Kanye West. " It's not everyday you see Kim Kardashian doing something for her fans! What a cool story!
Kelly Clarkson is mad and wants to put an end to every cheating rumor out there that her husband Brandon Blackstock is cheating on her! So Kelly Clarkson took to her Twitter account, tweeting,."Keep hearing random rumors of me & Brandon splitting or that's he's cheating on me. Stop with all the lying please. False rumors don't bother me & Brandon but they do affect the lives of our 12 & 7 yr old. They're kids & don't get that people can print lies." The rumors were going around that two women had an affair with Brandon Blackstock since he's been with Kelly Clarkson. Now she's pregnant with their first child and has pretty much adopted his two children from his previous marriage. Maybe now everyone can let it go! It's not cool to mess with people's lives!
Stand up for yourself Carrie Underwood! The
American Idol
winner is responding to the large amount of criticism she received following her Sound Of Music Live! performance as Maria von Trapp. She tweeted, "Plain and simple: Mean people need Jesus," a day after the live special. "They will be in my prayers tonight... 1 Peter 2:1-25," she added. You can't blame her for getting a bit upset. Even the von Trapp family was critical of Carrie Underwood appearing in the original Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Myles von Trapp Derbyshire, the great-grandson of Maria von Trapp, expressed his disapproval after learning about the casting decision almost a year ago, saying, "It's just upsetting that this could potentially be the final broadcast of our story. And although her voice is amazing, she doesn't have acting experience…It's just the overall image, she's a country star, she won
American Idol
, she's very public in kind of a tabloid way." The family preferred Anne Hathaway for the role. Kym Karath, who played the youngest child, Gretl Von Trapp in the 1965 musical film even tweeted, "Love Carrie Underwood but this role is just not right for her. She is lovely her voice is beautiful but acting is wrong." Negative feelings aside, the three-hour broadcast, brought in HUGE RATINGS! Over 18.5 million people watched! I didn't think she was that bad!
Looks like the show will go on!
Fast and Furious 7
director James Wan has confirmed that although production has been halted, the cast and crew will finish up the film in its entirety. When James Wan was asked about the fate of the movie, my sources are telling me that he said there will be, "No change. People are still dealing with it" when it comes to the death of Paul Walker but that "studio is trying to do the right thing while keeping the franchise going as well." Earlier this week, Universal Pictures announced in a statement they would be shutting down production on the franchise after Paul Walker's tragic death. Right now, they are fully dedicated to providing support to Paul Walker's immediate family, friends and his extended family of cast, crew and filmmakers. Paul Walker had played the role of Brian O'Conner in the first six films of The Fast And The Furious franchise. What do you think? Did they make the right choice in moving forward with production?
This is just crazy! Is Lindsay Lohan in the middle of a celebrity beat-down? That's what Paris Hilton's brother, Barron Hilton is claiming! Barron Hilton was partying at a Miami mansion over the weekend when he says that Lindsay Lohan accused him of talking trash about her and then she had a male friend beat him up! Barron Hilton was left bloodied with multiple cuts to his face. My sources are telling me that the injuries are so bad that Paris Hilton's brother was advised to get medical treatment right away! Barron Hilton was taken to a hospital for various emergency treatments, including a CT scan. Lindsay Lohan and her father Michael Lohan deny that she was involved in the incident at all. The only issue, there's video that proves otherwise! Paris Hilton has a message for Lindsay Lohan and the guy who allegedly put Paris' younger brother in the hospital as well… saying, "They both will pay for what they did. No one messes with my family and gets away with it!!" SHE MEANS BUSINESS! If I were Lindsay Lohan, I'd be scared!

Justin Bieber Detained In Airport

After days of silence from Kelly Clarkson's camp about rumors that her husband, Brandon Blackstock had cheated on her, Brandon Blackstock has finally spoken out. On Wednesday, he retweeted a post from a follower that read "It's sad how low life's make up rumors about @BBlackstock," to which he responded, "But it makes for great reading while in the bathroom!
When another reader responded, "If only it was fake," Brandon Blackstock dodged the allegation with a joke, writing back, "No, me in the bathroom is TRUE!" In case you missed the story, it was reported that an anonymous woman said she was having an affair with Brandon Blackstock. Days after that, another woman emerged claiming to be five months pregnant with Blackstock's child as well. Clearly, with Kelly Clarkson being pregnant with their first child, NOT GOOD! A rep for Kelly Clarkson said, "We do not comment on our artists' personal lives." IM CALLING THIS ONE ABSURD!
Justin Bieber is keeping the drama up! He and his entourage were detained at the Brisbane, Australia airport while customs agents looked for… DRUGS! That's right, and they allegedly found marijuana on one of Justin Bieber's friends! The Australian Federal Police said that a 19-year-old man was detained back on November 24th but was released after getting a stern warning for using "inappropriate language." He reportedly swore at the officers. My sources are telling me that Justin Bieber was the one with the potty mouth. The friend that got caught with the marijuana was released, but got a ticket for allegedly importing drugs. He had an electronic device to smoke marijuana, which had residue in it. An attorney for Justin Bieber's friend apparently appeared in court yesterday and only had to pay a fine. Who knows is the Biebs will ever learn!
Want to date Miley Cyrus? Just wear lots of denim! Three months after her confirmed split with Liam Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus hinted to her 15.8 million Twitter followers that she wanted to kick back and dress up with her significant other, tweeting: "I want a boyfriend that will wear jean on jean on jean with me," and shared an image of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake from 2001 at the American Music Awards. Note to Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears' and Justin Timberlake's relationship did not end well! Couples matching may not be the way to go!
She's going to have to work hard to find out what the reviewers are saying! That's because Britney Spears is being kept in the dark about negative reviews of her latest album. Britney Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, and her father won't allow Britney Spears to see any of the bad reviews. Britney Spears apparently doesn't even have access to the Internet and lives in a bubble! Her team will allow her to believe that the album is being well received. No-one wants to upset her. If Britney Spears were to read anything negative, it could send her into a bad tailspin and everyone knows that can't happen with her upcoming shows in Vegas about to launch. Can you imagine living life like that! Who do you trust?!
Jessica Biel may not be a mother in real life, but she does play a somewhat deranged and delusional mom in her new movie,
The Truth About Emanuel
. Well, at last night's Hollywood premiere of the movie, Jessica Biel talked about tapping into her maternal instinct to film with a newborn baby. She said, "I think to make this person, this character, work without being some ridiculous, crazy performance, is to really believe in what she's doing and believe that that is her truth, that baby is her baby and that's what it is. And so the nurturing element of being a mother, that is really what I tapped into." So, are babies on the horizon for Jessica Biel and her husband Justin Timberlake? She simply smiled and said, "I don't know. I'm not quite sure about sooner or later, but definitely at some point." I told you when I saw her at the JT concert, I'm calling sooner rather than later!
Those sounds of distant wedding bells definitely seem to be in full volume now! I reported last week that Mila Kunis had baby on the brain and that Ashton Kutcher had marriage on the mind! Well now Mila Kunis was reportedly sighted with a ring on her ring finger while she enjoyed a casual yogurt date with Ashton Kutcher! Also, they two were beyond affectionate! Onlookers say that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis came into the store hand-in-hand and smiling. You could tell that they were in love. This is apparently the SECOND time that Mila Kunis was spotted with a ring on THAT finger. Could the announcement that we've been waiting for finally be here? I HOPE SO!
Now this is an addiction! Adam Levine's latest motto is "Don't hate the player, hate the game!," when it comes to his latest addiction.. Candy Crush. Adam Levine admits he's SO into it that he went to some extremes with his fiancee, Behati Prinsloo, to play it. He said, "It's a recent obsession. It's pretty intense. Behati was sleeping the other night, and it was on her phone and not mine. This is so sad. You know how they have the thumbprint IDs on the iPhone? I needed to buy more lives! She was asleep so I kind of took her hand and used her thumbprint. She kind of half woke up and was like, 'What are you doing?!," and I was like, "I'm playing Candy Crush! It's very important!" I guess when you're getting woken up by Adam Levine, it's acceptable!

Paul Walker Autopsy Confirmed
by Daily Dish
posted Dec 5 2013 5:07AM
More details about the death of Paul Walker and his friend Roger Rodas are being released. First, the two were apparently going over 90 miles per hour when their special-edition Porsche crashed and killed both of them. They were in a 45 mile per hour speed limit zone. It's being said that it could take weeks to complete the investigation to determine exactly how fast the car was going and whether any mechanical problems contributed to the crash. Autopsy results have been released and it has now been confirmed that Paul Walker died from combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries. His friend Roger Rodas, died from multiple traumatic injuries. Both deaths were ruled accidents. A toxicology analysis is still pending and could take weeks to complete as well. Hopefully, alcohol and things of that nature won't be at play.
This isn't good! Good Morning America is in crisis mode! Robin Roberts, Lara Spencer and Josh Elliot are all demanding HUGE pay increases and George Stephanopoulos wants to replace Diane Sawyer on World News! Since Same Champion announced that he was leaving ABC for The Weather Channel, it's being reported that Robin Roberts will definitely be getting a huge pay raise. So of course the rest of the team wants one too. The bigger problem is with George Stephanopoulos, whose contract expires next month! Lara Spencer and Josh Elliott's contracts are also being negotiated.
continues to dominate the morning news rating race. Looks like ABC better get on it!
Talk about dedication! Jay Z and Beyonce are working on a new joint project. They both have pledged to take on a plant-based vegan diet for the next three weeks! Jay Z announced on his website, "Psychologists have said it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. On the 22nd day, you've found the way. On December 3rd, one day before my 44th birthday, I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based! This all began a few months back when a good friend and vegan challenged me to embrace a 'plant-based breakfast' everyday. It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought..." That friend was Marco Borges, an exercise physiologist and founder of 22 Days Nutrition, a vegan, organic, and gluten-free food and lifestyle company. So why is the couple doing it now? Jay Z says that there's something spiritual to him about it being his 44th birthday. It just feels right! They are going to post their progress! Best of luck! That will be tough!
I guess we should have saw this coming after how over-the-top she went with her wedding to Kris Humphries. Afterall, Kim Kardashian is marrying Kanye West this time and all he is.., is OVER THE TOP. Looks like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are planning on having their wedding at the Palace of Versailles! Kanye West feels that the palace would have just the right amount of "bang" for his big plans. Since Kanye West has never been married, he wants a big wedding and when it comes to budget, he has none! Considering the fact that he proposed at a ball park with all her friends and family in attendance, I'm not surprised that Kanye West plans on going big! I think this will actually be the wedding that everyone wants to see!
Well he moved on fast! Orlando Bloom might have publicly stated that he'll always love the mother of his child, Miranda Kerr, but that doesn't mean he's crying over not being with her! That's because Orlando Bloom has allegedly already found another famous face to cozy up to! None of than Steven Tyler's daughter, Liv Tyler! The twou have been friends for years and things apparently only turned to romance recently. My sources are telling me that they spotted the two of them playfully tickling one another, gazing into each other's eyes and holding hands. Oh to be young and in love!
Justin Bieber isn't making any friends in Australia! Tom Tate, the mayor of Gold Coast, Australia, was so unhappy by the Justin Biebers' recent spray painting of graffiti on a hotel wall during his swing through the city last week that he's issued a threat: clean up the vandalism or perform for him at his annual Christmas event on Saturday, Dec. 7th. Tom Tate said in a sarcastic video message, "I've got a message for pop princess Justin Beaver. We love your music but we hate your graffiti and your vandalism here in our city. Mate, you've got two choices. Come back and clean up your mess or come back and sing at the Mayor's Christmas Carol." The mayor then called on everyone watching his video who agrees with him to call the hotel and demand its owners to "get out there and get Justin to clean it up." Clearly, the mayor is milking the controversy for all the publicity it's worth! The hotel management side with Justin Bieber, saying that the hotel gave him permission to tag their private property. So, what do you think? Should the Biebs clean the graffiti?
Keri Russell had a scary wake-up call early yesterday morning! When she woke up, she got up to intruders burglarizing her home! Keri Russel woke up at around 3 AM in her NYC townhouse when she heard noises upstairs. She got up to investigate and discovered that her living room window and front door were wide open! The thieves escaped and they made off with Keri Russell's designer handbag, a laptop computer and a necklace! The cops arrested two guys that are a father-son team several blocks away for burglarizing another home. So those men are now being looked at as possible suspects that broke into Keri Russell's home.

Actor Paul Walker Dies In Car Crash
by Daily Dish
posted Dec 2 2013 8:35AM
Paul Walker, best known for his role in "The Fast and the Furious" movies, died Saturday afternoon in a car accident in Southern California. Paul Walker was the passenger in a Porsche when the driver, his close friend and business partner Roger Rodas, somehow lost control and slammed into a a tree and the car burst into flames. The crash happened less than a minute after they got into the car. Both of them lost their lives. Cops are saying that speed clearly played a major factor in the accident, but an exact cause has not been determined yet. Paul Walker was there for a car show organized by himself and his charitable organization Reach Out Worldwide, all to support the Philippines typhoon relief effort. The crash happened so close to the charity event Paul Walker had been attending that several of the people there heard it and raced to try to help. There was nothing they could do. Paul Walker's body was burned so badly the coroner needs his dental records to identify the body. Autopsies will be delayed until later this week. Paul Walker was 40 years old. He leaves behind a 15-year-old daughter and had just begun work on Fast & Furious 7.
After what has been a tough year for Cheryl Cole, she's finally seeing some light! If you don't remember, Cheryl Cole was fired from the X Factor after only three weeks, so she went to court over it… and she WON! Her exact winnings haven't been disclosed, but the original lawsuit was for $2.2 million! Cheryl Cole wanted not only the payment she missed out on, but also money for her bodyguards, first class tickets for herself and her entourage, wardrobe allowances, living costs and her stylist allowance. Cheryl Cole took legal action because it was about the production company and the contract they signed. Wonder how much she really got, because Cheryl Cole sued for a LOT!
Who would have called THIS friendship? Ed Sheeran and Jennifer Aniston celebrated Thanksgiving together! Jennifer Aniston's manager posted a picture with them on Instagram on Thursday! Jennifer Aniston and Ed Sheeran have at least one other friend in common.. because on November 19
, Ed Sheeran posted a picture with Jennifer Aniston's BFF and former Friends costar Courteney Cox! Ed Sheeran and Jennifer Aniston at the same dinner table for Thanksgiving? That sounds like a heck load of fun to me!
Kim Kardashian
has had it with critics who've been saying she's not a good mom because she seems to be out with Kanye West all the time and their daughter is nowhere in sight. So took to her Twitter account to respond to the haters, specifically ones that are calling her "ignorant," saying, "Because I don't tweet or instagram my every move w my daughter means I am not with her 24/7? We share what we want. Or is it bc I go support my fiance at every show & I post pix? When the baby goes down 4 bed or a nap, parents are allowed 2 work & support each other, maybe even have fun too!" You go Kim! Kim Kardashian is currently following Kanye West around the country on his Yeezus Tour and their baby North is along with them. Looks like Kim Kardashian is finally keeping some parts of her life private!
WOW! Looks like Roseanne Barr has had
with Hollywood…at least for today. She went on a serious Twitter rant Saturday, saying she was done with the television industry and considering making adult films, among other things. She tweeted, "I'm never going to work in television again. I'm never going to even attempt it. I feel as if I've been insulted/assaulted for over a year… Actually, for many years — from my first reality show to my second and two failed development details. Don't call me-I won't call you. I'm gone. Not ONE word remained of any ideas I had. I was constantly 'corrected' as if I had no track record whatsoever. I'm enraged over all of it." Once it looked like she was done with her rant Saturday afternoon, tweeting, "anyway, no more drunk tweeting late at night for me!," Roseanne Barr returned for more, saying, "Hollywood's always trying to kill their own stars-whether creatively or physically-burying them under psychic stress, greed and gas lighting." Phew, someone is cranky!
Time to get pampered for baby! Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were spotted for the first time together two days after Ashton Kutcher has reportedly finalized his divorce from Demi Moore on Friday. The couple was photographed heading home after getting foot massages in Los Angeles. Mila Kunis, who is rumored to be pregnant, dressed casual in sweatpants and a grey long-sleeve shirt. Just days earlier, Mila Kunis was also dressed casually as she grocery shopped with Ashton Kutcher's mom,
most likely
for Thanksgiving. Mila Kunis has become extremely close with Ashton Kutcher's family, sparking rumors of an engagement in the near future too! I'm being told that they are very much in love, inseparable and try to spend as much time together as possible. The biggie: Mila Kunis wants a baby before marriage and that it's a priority for her right now. That would be one pretty baby!
It looks like EVERYONE has to deal with haters, even Carrie Underwood! She was the receiver of some serious Twitter hate and bashing over taking on the role of Maria in the live TV version of The Sound Of Music! Carrie Underwood explained, "I get hate tweets and stuff like, 'You're not
Julie Andrews
!' I know I'm not Julie. Nobody is and I would never pretend that I was…I know my place." How sad! I say IGNORE THE HATERS!

Is Mila Kunis Pregnant?

Miley Cyrus is certainly no stranger to rumors. But this one is definitely out there. Right after Miley Cyrus' house was burglarized on Friday, a large teepee was put up her backyard, leading to reports that she was now sleeping in it. That's the safe place to go after a robbery. So sure enough, Miley Cyrus' rep had to come out and let everyone know that the rumor wasn't true, adding that it was merely a birthday gift from her family. They have a similar one on their farm in Nashville. Miley Cyrus' teepee, was even created by Normadics Tipi Makers, the largest and oldest teepee makers in the U.S. since 1970. It's a 22-foot teepee, cost about $2,200 and was decorated per her mother's specifications. It even has all customized artwork. So I guess if Miley Cyrus ever actually does decide to sleep in it, I wouldn't blame her. It sounds nice!
Alec Baldwin has been fired by MSNBC! My sources are telling me that his weekly show, "Up Late With Alec Baldwin," has been canceled because of his foul-mouthed rant at a photographer he called a nasty name. The Comcast guys have decided and word is spreading through the building. Alec Baldwin's dismissal was decided on partly because of his diva-like behavior toward co-workers. For example, besides demanding a humidifier because he claimed the air at 30 Rock was too dry, Alec Baldwin alienated staffers when he demanded a separate makeup room being used by a woman with cancer who is sensitive to hairspray. When Alec Baldwin was told he couldn't have his way, he apparently screamed at the top of his lungs, saying he didn't care if the woman had cancer! Even his show's ratings were weak. His last show pulled in just 395,000 total viewers. A spokesman for Alec Baldwin didn't say whether or not he was fired but did indeed say, "The show is not coming back. He had questions on whether he wanted to continue." Alec Baldwin was difficult to reach considering he's in Hawaii filming a movie.
Yesterday there were reports that Angela Jolie bought Brad Pitt a 20 million dollar island in the shape of his heart for his 50
birthday. Well, looks like it was nothing but a rumor! According to the New York Post, Petra Island has yet to be purchased. Owners of the retreat apparently listed the huge piece of land four months ago, but no one has made an offer. Donna Massaro, the daughter of the owners said, "I don't have any idea where that [report about Jolie] came from. The family threw it out there to see if anyone was interested, and so far no [potential buyers] have [come forward]." I'm sure Angelina Jolie still got something phenomenal for her hubby!
How scary!
Frankie Muniz
just had a frightening sense of deja vu because the 27-year old actor says he just suffered his 2nd mini-stroke in a year! Frankie Muniz posted the health scare on his Twitter account, saying, "Almost a year to the day, I experienced another mini stroke. Hopefully that will be the last. Miserable." Frankie Muniz didn't say whether he needed any medical treatment. Last year at this time, on November 30
to be exact, Frankie Muniz experienced blurred vision and had trouble speaking. Doctors diagnosed the episode as a mini-stroke, but said they didn't know what caused it. Hopefully this will be the last time this happens to him!
Kelly Clarkson is loving her pregnancy, no matter what her bad experiences might be so far! Kelly Clarkson may be suffering from morning sickness, but she's trying to enjoy every minute. After announcing last week that she is expecting her first child with her husband, Kelly Clarkson opened up about her pregnancy. When she was asked if she was feeling good, Kelly Clarkson said, "Nope. I don't know why they call it morning sickness. That's my big joke right now because it's all day and all night. I am super-excited about being pregnant, though. I'm just looking forward to the second trimester . . . they say it's better." How cute is that! Kelly Clarkson's gut is telling her that she's having a girl. Regardless, she and her husband already have a name picked out for a girl or boy… and no, they wont tell us what they are!
What we feared may just be the truth! Zac Efron said he broke his jaw after slipping in a puddle, but my sources are telling me that the injury is a result of partying. Zac Efron was apparently alone at home, and he leaned forward and fell into his coffee table. He broke his jaw on the table and was afraid to call an ambulance, so his friend took him to the ER. He was just so drunk and out of control. Despite this setback though, my sources are telling me that Zac Efron is continuing to move in the right direction. He's hired a sober coach to help him stay clean and keep his painkiller intake under control. Zac Efron is tired of his addiction hindering his career, especially now being tied to two rehab stints!
Kanye West just can't seem to learn his lesson! In his latest rant, Kanye West insisted that he's the next Walt Disney, saying, "I'm just a creative,. I'm more like a Walt Disney or something. Like, rap is just a chamber of my thoughts."It's something that I really wanted to express as a modern-day poet, because you know, if I had lived in a past lifetime, maybe I would have been a playwright or something. But in this lifetime, to be the most heard and the most relevant, the most relevant is to be a rap rock star. You can express at the highest level there." And are you ready for this? His fiancé Kim Kardashian is also the new version of an old world icon, Marilyn Monroe. Kanye West has been making such over-the-top pronouncements for months. He's also compared himself to God, Jesus,
, Michael Jordan, Willy Wonka and Michael Jackson, just to name a few.
Honestly if this is true I'm going to be really excited for them!
Ashton Kutcher
got aggressive with the paparazzi outside a restaurant last night, but I'm being told that the whole tough guy act may have just been a cover to keep his allegedly pregnant girlfriend away from cameras. That's right, there's rumors going around that Mila Kunis has a baby on board! The restaurant that the couple was eating at is right in the middle of a heavily-trafficked celebrity sighting area. So, the paparazzi were surprised when Ashton Kutcher emerged from the restaurant and tried to strong-arm the photogs into leaving! During the confrontation, one of Ashton Kutcher's associates can be seen in the background quickly escorting Mila Kunis into Ashton Kutcher's car as if they're trying to slip past the cameras. With the rumor going around that Mila Kunis is pregnant, photos of her could pull in a LOT of cash for the person who gets it! And yes, Mila Kunis was wearing a baggy shirt and baggy jeans. So, the mystery remains. If Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis had a baby, can you imagine just how gorgeous that baby would be?!

The Entertainers Of The Year Have Been Named!
by Daily Dish
posted Nov 26 2013 6:38AM
What do Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lawrence and Miley Cyrus have in common? Not a whole lot, but now they have all been named the Entertainers of the Year by
Entertainment Weekly
! They are joined by Tom Hanks, the creators of
Breaking Bad
, Matthew McConaughey, the cast of
, Grumpy Cat and many more! Sandra Bullock is on the cover of the magazine as she earned the top spot on their list of the most exciting performers in 2013. Sandra Bullock even opened up about her love life and shared that she's not quite ready to dip her toe in the dating pool, saying, "If it should come along, great. But I feel like I'm not missing anything yet. Maybe one day I will. But my son is three years old, which is an amazing age. Four is an even better age. So if something happens, great, but if not, I've got plenty to do." How cool would it be to give him a daddy!
It must be hard looking in One Direction… Well, especially for Taylor Swift. That's because she kept her eyes fixed on every spot during the American Music Awards on Sunday that was pointedly away from her ex Harry Styles and his One Direction bandmates! Even though Taylor Swift went to the podium four times for her awards and was partying away in her seat, on-goers couldn't help but notice that she went out of her way to ignore Harry Styles and his band. At one point during a commercial break, she walked right in front of them as she made her way to go backstage, staring straight ahead as she quickly made her way past them. But the One Direction guys did join the crowd in giving Taylor Swift a standing ovation for her Best Female Country artist award. Looks like someone is the better sport!
News is just now getting out that Tori Spelling was hospitalized last month in the middle of her tour to promote her tell-all book
Spelling It Like It Is
. She was treated briefly and released, but legs of her promotional tour had to be cancelled after she missed a scheduled flight. People are saying that Tori Spelling just wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital, but everything was fine. By my sources are telling me that Tori Spelling was hospitalized for stress and anxiety for a few days because she was receiving a lot of negative feedback about revelations she made in the book and she had no idea that it was going to hit a nerve… like making comments about a run in with Katie Holmes. Tori Spelling became very anxious about having to defend her actions in the book in media interviews and decided that she needed to go to the hospital. This is not the first time that Tori Spelling has had a hospital ordeal.
The suspicious circumstances surrounding Brittany Murphy's tragic death have been dragged into the spotlight again by her father's claims that a lab report shows that his daughter was murdered. BUT her mother has broken her silence to set the record straight, saying that her daughter was not murdered and that her father is pulling a "stunt" for "publicity." Sharon Murphy, who lived with Brittany Murphy and her husband, opened up about the claims that she says are false and for publicity, saying, "I have chosen to stay out of the limelight since the tragic and sudden death of my wonderful, talented, loving daughter four years ago this Dec. 20
. I have no choice now but to come forward in the face of inexcusable efforts to smear my daughter's memory by a man who may be her biological father, but was never a real father to her in her lifetime... He has made outrageous statements over the past few years, culminating in this latest madness: that my darling daughter was murdered… The lab Angelo used, if you can call it that, is an Internet site that farmed out the actual testing, and then wrote horribly untrue things… Like everything else Angelo and his collaborator Julia Davis have done, this is calculated to make them money and bring them the fame they desperately crave." WOW!
Miranda Lambert has a message for people who think she took the easy way out to lose weight. She posted a letter to her fans blasting reports that she had surgery to help lose weight, saying, "Though I NEVER care what the tabloids have to say about me … I wanted to address this certain story they are running this week and set the record straight. I DID NOT have surgery to lose weight. That is ridiculous. I lost my weight the healthy and good old fashioned way. Watching what I eat and working out with my trainer Bill Crutchfield."
Miranda Lambert, who dropped a dress size, also admits in the letter that she doesn't know how many pounds she's lost, saying, "It's not about a scale. It's about how you feel and how your jeans fit. And on November 10
when I turned 30, my skinny jeans were finally baggy! Mission accomplished! So for anyone who is tempted to read the "Trash Talk" please don't. I am proud to be a normal size girl and I want to encourage everyone to be confident at any size." YOU GO GIRL!
A photog has filed a lawsuit against P!nk and her husband Carey Hart after a fight that happened back in June. He's claiming that he was physically beaten and humiliated during the fight... and even called a "pedophile." The photog claims that he was trying to take a picture of P!nk while she was changing her daughter's diaper in a playground, and P!nk's husband Carey Hart snapped, saying some HORRIBLE things, to which P!nk allegedly added, "You're photographing my baby naked." Then Carey Hart's friend went on the attack, kicking the photog in the shin, stomping on his feet, and kneeing him in the groin. He claims his camera equipment was damaged during the melee. The photog is suing for assault and battery, and destruction of his camera equipment. On the day of the fight, cops were called to the scene, but no arrests were made. What do you think? Right or wrong?
Miley Cyrus NEEDED some birthday presents over the weekend for her 21
birthday, because she's lost a bunch of expensive stuff when she was burglarized on Friday. It looks like $100,000 worth of items were stolen, including a bunch of jewelry and several high-end purses. Even though there were no signs of forced entry, there were numerous surveillance cameras so cops may have a hot lead. Maybe her birthday gift from her father, Billy Ray Cyrus can start her back up again. Miley Cyrus' dad went all out on her gift, buying Miley Cyrus a $24,000 customized Cam-Am Spyder ATV, complete with her initials plastered all over it. Billy Ray Cyrus loved the gift he got for her so much that even HE was seen taking the gift for a spin around the neighborhood with younger daughter Noah on the back! Good thing Miley Cyrus likes to share!
What do you get for the man who has everything, including Angelina Jolie? Well, if you ARE Angelina Jolie, you don't have to think too hard, especially when you have all that money! $20 million dollars to be exact. Angelina Jolie reportedly bought Brad Pitt the world's largest Valentine for his upcoming 50th birthday - an island in the shape of a heart! The island Petra is about 50 miles off the coast of New York City and comes complete with a sprawling estate. The house is perfect for romantic getaways or as a family retreat. That's some birthday gift!

Oldies and Oddities: Tinseltown's Training Base
- By Preston Lerner
- Air & Space magazine, January 2010
John Swope, John Swope Trust
During World War II, a complex in Arizona served as one of the world's busiest centers for training military pilots. With four privately owned airfields in and around Phoenix, the Thunderbird facility, named for the Native American mythological spirit, ran roughly 20,000 pilots from some 30 Allied nations through primary training, an achievement made possible by a confluence of military necessity, business opportunity, and Hollywood star power.
Even as late as 1940, the United States military was woefully unprepared for the coming war. The Army Air Corps had only two training fields, both in San Antonio, Texas, and General Hap Arnold begged civilian operators to provide primary instruction for military aviators. His plea was music to the ears of Leland Hayward and John H. (Jack) Connelly. Hayward was an A-list Broadway and Hollywood agent who later produced movies and shows such as Mister Roberts, The Sound of Music, and The Spirit of St. Louis. Connelly was a former Army aviator and Civil Aeronautics Administration inspector.
In 1940, they bought a training operation at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix and hatched plans to build a bigger field in nearby Glendale. They enlisted John Swope, a commercial pilot and photographer who had once shared a bachelor pad with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda and who would later collaborate with John Steinbeck on the book Bombs Away. To oversee the venture, Connelly, Hayward, and Swope founded Southwest Airways (no connection to Southwest Airlines).
Stewart and Fonda invested, along with Robert Taylor, Cary Grant, Hoagy Carmichael (who occasionally played the piano in the canteen), and Janet Gaynor. In 1942, director William Wellman (Wings, 1927) used the field to film the wartime drama Thunder Birds.
Ground was broken on January 2, 1941, and less than three months later Thunderbird Field opened with 14 flight instructors and 53 cadets—42 of whom would graduate—flying brand-new two-place Stearman biplanes leased from the Army. By 1942, Hayward and Connelly had opened a second Thunderbird field, managed by Swope, and Falcon Field, which was commissioned by Britain's Royal Air Force. The Brits appreciated Arizona's hospitable weather, which offered 673 consecutive flying days. Later, while piloting Spitfires over Western Europe, Royal Air Force Sergeant Philip Park wrote to his former instructor: "I'd give anything to be back in Phoenix and the sunshine."
Thunderbird achieved international prominence—and made the cover of Life—as the only U.S. facility to train Chinese pilots. Numerous languages and accents were heard at the fields. But most cadets who went through the nine-week program were Americans, many of whom earned their wings only months after their first flight.
"The area was pretty desolate," recalls Donald W. Marsey, Class 43-J graduate, who flew 35 missions in a B-17, Wisconsin Beauty. "But what I remember most is the exhilaration of learning that I could fly an airplane."

To: Mr.Preston Lerner. To see ,in print, your review on some of our WWII history, warmed my heart. Thank you for a very rememorable experience. It' still alive in my 87 year-old body. Keep digging. Best Regards, Don

I was a cadet at Thunderbird Field Glendale Az. class
44-J. Chinese cadets were also in training. I graduated from primary training June 1944. When I was in High school
I saw a movie titled "Thunderbird Field" when I was in highschool. After seeing the movie it inspired me to become an aviation cadet. I remember it starred Gene Tiereny and Pat O'Brien and I don't recall the other actors, in black and white and only American cadets were featured.
I purchased a movie via the internet called "Thunder Birds".
THis was not the movie I expected. This did star Gene
Tierney and she was bathing in the watertower; however, this movie featured English cadets and not American cadets.
Was this movie made at Thunderbird 2 (Falcon Field) where, I know, English cadets were trained. THis has puzzled me
and maybe you could clarify this for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed you article in Air & Space.

My dad was an instructor at Thunderbird Field from early 1942 thru the end of the war.
We the family have seen some 8MM film he took during that time frame of some of his students and a few he pointed out as not making it back. Quite interesting.
Nice to see an article about the field.

Anybody remember an instructor at Thunderbird Field from Omaha, Nebraska by the name of Frank Devry? Please send me an e-mail if you can recall him. I would love a picture of him if you happen to have one. Thank you. Ed

My father Conrad Wade was also a primary flight instructor at Thunderbird field. From 1942 through the end of the war, he taught Chinese American air corpsmen to fly. I have many pictures of him, my brothers, and mother with the students. Mom and dad used to say the students were like family. Some of the students stayed in touch with him after the war, even into the 1970s. I have his Thunderbird wings and uniform patches. He went on to fly as a corporate pilot for Reed's Candy Company. I remember feeling like I was the luckiest kid in the world growing up around airplanes and having an endless supply of Reed's Candy. David Wade

My father was a Chinese Cadet trained in the Thunderbird Airforce Base in the 1940s. in year 2000, I accomplied my father and my Mom back to Phoenix for their last reunion - or, actually it was the first reunion he attended. The Thunderbird base has converted into an international business school. But the hangars, the tower were still there. There were many war-time pictures hanging outside of the auditorium. Most are pictures of the American instructors and Chinese cadets. My father found himself in one of the picture - what a surprise after 50+ years.
After the year 2000 trip, I have tried to collect information about any information about the arrangement between the US and Chinese government to setup the airforce training camp for the Chinese Cadets. Unfortunatelly, I had few luck in getting anything. In year 2007, I went to DC and visited the National Archieve. After talking to the people there (both in their DC as well as Maryland facilities), I realized that they don't have anything stored there. I would appreciate very much if any of the readers can advice me about where I can look into to find additional information about the special chapter of the world time history. I'd like to write a booklet or somthing for my father. Now He is 87 years old, still healthy and live in Milwaukee, WI with my sister. I am a college professor live in a suburb of Chicago. My email is: firstname.lastname@example.com and phone number (630)-222-8855. Thank you!

I'm looking for information on a civilian instructor at Falcon Field by the name of Rhoads or Rhodes, first name William. If anyone has information about him, please contact me at doncr at verizon net
Thank you for your interest.

Your April 6 2010 posting asked about Frank DeVry. He was my uncle, His sister Lillian was my mother. Born Franklin Robin DeVry in St Paul NE in 1902, I believe he died in the Phoenix area in the 1970's.
He spoke often of teaching Chinese pilots to fly with neither of them speaking each other's language.
If you will email me of your interest, I will try to figure how to scan and return photos of Uncle Franklin.

I was a cadet at Thunderbird 2 in late 1942. We had no Chinese training there at that time. I remember one day Jimmy Stewart came wandering in. He was a Ist LT. at that and a pilot: also a co-owner of T-bird 2. I went on to Basic at Marana AZ where we had the Chinese Cadets.

My mother was an instructor at the Thunderbird fields during WWII - one of a small group of women I think. She taught primary flight in Link trainers and PT-19's. I was wondering if any of you remember a tall (6') dark haired 20 year old instructor named Carol Jane Tindell? I am trying to create a family history.
Posted by Mike Burz on September 9,2011 | 11:48 AM
Small world. My Dad was a flight instuctor at Marana during 1942-1944. He trained a lot of aviation cadets, including several classes of Chinese students. I have a list of one of the classes with about 30 Chinese student names listed. I also have a group photo of one class of Chinese students. We've also found letters written by some of the students to my Dad, after they had gone into advanced flight training, and also after they returned to India and China. Is anyone interested in sharing stories? I love the conversation...email@example.com

I was born in glendale in july of 1937 we lived at 138 n.6th ave in glendale and i recall some memorie's of thunderbird field and the stearman pt13 and pt 17 trainer's assinged to train the pilot's.my uncle's dairy farm was located just south of the canal on 59th ave one long block south of thunderbird road, the aircraft flew out of the airfield to the southwest as i recall and i as a very young boy watched as the blue and yellow stearman's rose in the air and i recall the thrill of seeing the pilot's in their cloth helmet's and goggle's as they flew over our heads.later in the war a stearman force landed in my uncle's field about 300 feet north west of the house flipping over on it's top wing the two pilot's hung in their harness for a minute or so before they released and landed on the ground,no one hurt as i recall,one pilot gave us his flight helmet and we played with it for several year's.

My father was an RAF pilot and trained at Falcon Field where most of the movie Thuderbirds was filmed. The studio built the cadets a swimming pool as a present for their participation; unfortunately it was filled in a few years ago.
I worked for a gentlemen and fellow Soldier in DC who's father was a Chinese pilot trained at Thunderbird 1. It was strange how both of us came to be raised in the United States and had fathers from such different countries train in the Phoenix area.
The RAF cadet from Falcon Field met for many years but unfotunately too many have passed. There is even a British War cemetary section in Mesa, Arizona where over 23 RAF fliers and an American are buried. Every year the Sunday after Veterans Day a Memorial Ceremony is held there which last year was turned over to the Commerative Air Force. The RAF is always present and this year the Royal Army also sent a contingent.
Just south of Scottsdale Airport outside the perimeter the Hangers from Thunderbird 2 still exist as do the hangers at Falcon Field. I haven't been to Thunderbird 1 in years though I've been told the hanger was torn down this year.

My grandfather's name was Samuel D. McKinney. Most called him 'mac'. He instructed at Thunderbird I from base opening until early 1943 when he took a job with Consolidated ferrying PBY Catalina's to the south pacific. Does anyone recognize his name? I have a few pictures of cadets he trained and his old wallet that has the thunderbird insignia on it. I also have a few pictures of him in his Southwest Airways Uniform. I would like to meet anyone with any information about Thunderbird I and swap stories and information.

I would love to exchange information with those who have posted their personal or family memories of Thunderbird Field and the movie THUNDER BIRDS. I am conducting additional research for my next novel that has characters going through USAAF pilot training at Thunderbird Field. Please contact me at

I wish to respond to Mr David Wade's post of May 28, 2010. My late father was a Chinese cadet trained at the Thunderbird field, Glendale, between October-December 1944. It would appear that you have photos of your father, who taught at the Thunderbird field, with these Chinese cadets. I have some flight training evaluation forms filled out by my father's instructors after each flight, spanning the whole period. His instructors included: C F Moores (flight commander), H E Haught, Y C Hwang, M D Moeller, and H J Noas.
I am trying to research into my father's (and his fellow Chinese cadets') adventures in the US as a Chinese cadet -- the airfields that he had been to, the facilities he stayed at, his interaction with US cadets if any, his instructors, etc. To this end, if you would be so kind as to make copies (e.g. pdf files) of these photos of your father with the Chinese cadets available to me, I would be extremely grateful to you. My email:
bxt54 [at] yahoo [dot] com. Thanks.

Hello, I believe my Uncle Jack Harkey was a flight instructor in the late 40's early 50's. He may have instructed a Bill Smith who I would love to have more information on. Any help would be appreciated. Good Luck to you all. Jannette Long

I am an Phoenix area airport historian. About 19 years ago, I purchased 2 Thunderbird 1 year books, the first and last year of Thunderbird's operation. These books are loaded with photos of Thunderbird 1. I have also collected all of the legal documents that were signed regarding both Thunderbird fields and Falcon including all of the leases for the property and a blueprint drawing of the original Falcon Field layout. I published a book called "The Valley's Airports of the Past" which features the history of Thunderbird and Falcon Field. I stumbled across this website and found the comments fascinating.

No, no, no. Don't be confused by the "QuickPeek" in the title. This has got nothing to do with the weekly QuickPeeks we offer you guys. This one's the E3 2009 edition. As in, this is a quick look-back at the things that happened, things that were said, things that would have been better off had it actually occurred -- basically a trip back down memory lane -- on the big 3's E3 2008 experience.
Yes, there were a lot of "major" announcements made on games, some more shocking than others (the biggest thunder-stealer for me would have to be FFXIII on Xbox 360). But we'll have a lot more fun detailing that in next week's issue. For the one we have today, we'll be focusing on the hardware announcements, rumors, and catfights among the industry heads. Drama can't get any more real than that. And then we'll see where we're at now. Come full circle, cos it's time for another E3.
Dear loyal readers, occasional passersby, and resident fanboys and flamers, allow me to officially welcome you all to QJ's E3 2009 coverage.
Okay, now here's how this Special Edition will go. We'll remind you what Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft dished out - corporate / hardware wise - from last year's E3 and link you back to the original article for an actual refresher. And then we look at what they've come up so far this year, running up to E3 2009, the "No Swine Flu Can Stop Us Evar" version. Oink.
Close-up in 3, 2, 1...
They were the first among the big 3 to have the presscon, shuffling their way into the halls of the LA Convention Center on July 14, 2008 at 10:30AM. Leading the pack of presentors for Microsoft's Xbox 360 and the games for it was Don Mattrick, senior vice president of interactive entertainment business.
In tow were John Schappert, VP of XBL, Corporate VP of strategy and business development Shane Kim, Todd Howard of Bethesda, Jun Taeuchi for RE5, Lionhead's Peter Molyneux, Cliff Belzinski for Gears of War 2, Rare reps, Red Octane's Kai Huang, iNis founder Keiichi Yano, Harmonix' Alex Rigopulos, and big bomb-dropper Square Enix' Yoichi Wada. Wow, that was quite a posse wasn't it?
But even before the actual presentation began, Microsoft was already gunning out some serious ammunition for the E3 '08 crowd. Just a day before, they had officially announced via press wire that the 20GB model of the Xbox 360 will be getting a price cut in North America, giving it a new mark of US 299.
Completing the one-two prelude punch was the announcement on the new 60GB unit, cos they "know consumers need more and more space to store the amazing digital content Xbox 360 offers." It was given the same launch price of the 20GB model of US 349.
Link: Microsoft officially announces Xbox 360 20GB price cut, unveils 60GB unit
And then came the presscon. The biggest hardware application item that came out that day from MS was the unveiling of the Xbox 360 interface, the New Xbox Experience (NXE). This is where we first caught a glimpse of the new look that will arrive on the XBL, as well as the addition of your virtual me's: the Avatars.
This is where the Rare reps came in. See, the avatars were created by Rare, so of course they were there to give a shout-out as well. The announcement officially ended the era of the Avatars in the Rumor Category, but launched it into a new one, the village of That's-so-Mii Comparison Category.
David Goesen replied later that day to the allegation that it was a Mii rip-off by providing a contrast: the XBL Avatars have arms, necks and legs. The Miis don't. In the same statement, Goesen also took a swing at Sony's Home, giving advice that "we shouldn't hold our breath" with what Sony does with Home. Because it's veh-ryyyyy dangerous. Holding our breaths, I mean. Not Sony's Home.
... Or is it?..
Link: Fall Xbox Live system update to get avatars, new community channel
Link: Microsoft not "holding its breath" on Home, not ripping Miis off
And so the New Xbox Experience was indeed release in November of that year, albeit with some familiar hiccups. It wasn't the smoothest of launches, with reports of RRoD piling up fast, as well as connection freezes, slow downs, lock ups, etc, etc. But eventually, these problems were smoothened out, and everyone went on their merry ways dressing up their avatars and winning free goods from them too.
And as it stands, as of last March, it has been announced that the NXE update will be a mandatory fixture on your console by way of games. Yes, new games coming out this year, starting off with Tom Clancy: H.A.W.X., and MLB:2K9 will be requiring the mandatory update, or less you can't play.
But really, I don't see why you shouldn't.
Link: Woe is you: New Xbox Experience update says hello with RRoD reports
Link: Xbox 360 games starting to include mandatory NXE update
The other big thing they announced was the completion and announcement of the Microsft-Netflix partnership for a video streaming service on XBL, to be included in the Fall Update.
Rumors on it have been circulating since 2007, and it's now come to fruition. While it was announced to be for everybody, Gold Members were promised to have access to more perks such as being able to fast-forward, pause, rewind, and even rate and browse movies.
Link: Netflix and Microsoft formally announce video streaming service included in Fall
And so Netflix video streaming services launched on the XBL, with a lot of movie outfits backing it up. Expectedly Coincidentally, Sony Pictures movies won't play on the streaming service for a while, but Sony denied that the problem was not deliberate on their end, but was in fact not specific to XBL, and was only temporary.
Today, film buffs continue to have their fill of streaming videos on the XBL, even enjoying contests for more freebies and prizes.
Link: Sony pulls a Grinch: Sony movies can't run on Netflix-XBL
Link: Sony Pictures: Netflix issue not specific to Xbox, only temporary
Link: Xbox 360 Netflix sweepstakes: winner gets home theater package
So generally, it was a good E3 year for Microsoft over-all. The price cuts for the 20GB units, as well as the introduction of the new, higher model helped propel the sales of the Xbox 360 to greater heights (but not as great as unassiming Nintendo).
And although there were some ruffling of feathers that went on from the E3 announcements they made, up to the launch and fulfillment of said promises, we now see everything going pretty fluidly in the status quo.
Don't expect this scenario to stay that way for any longer, though. We're just about rounding the corner to the crux of the new E3 year, and as we've already seen thus far, it's all but bursting with excitement.
Can they top their '08 presentation this year? More importantly, how much of their promises will Microsoft be actually able to fulfill? Stay tuned.

Leaner: RPath Linux 2
RPath has released version 2 of its Linux distribution which is mainly designed for producing customized software appliances.
The kernel (version 220.127.116.11) is about one third smaller than its predecessor, and the base system is just half the size. This is very much in line with the manufacturer's strategy, and one that both Ubuntu and Suse follow with operating system variants under the motto of "Just enough Operating System (JeOS)": The Linux distribution becomes a basic platform on which software vendors can distribute bootable live or appliance versions of their applications. Examples of appliances based on Rpath include Sugar CRM, the Joomla CMS, and Mediawiki.
RPath uses its own Conary package management system, with Syslinux providing a boot loader. A graphical boot splash is displayed when you fire up the system; the splash can easily be modified to reflect your own needs. Software vendors interested in doing so can call in the RBuilder online service to have appliances built for them.
The image files for the current Rpath version 2 are also available on the Rbuilder system here and include virtual system images in Vmware format as well as installable ISOs.

Well Ohio is one of the few states in the nation that's experiencing an economic recovery.
President Obama is going to be taking credit for that as he campaigns here the next three days.
My next guest says the praise ought to go to somebody a lot closer to home with me now is Ohio lieutenant governor Mary Taylor.
Governor -- to have you here.
The unemployment rate in Ohio was 9% it is dropped two points to 7%.
One of the few places in the country.
Where that has happened.
Why is that happened.
We're making Ohio jobs and friendly -- -- friendly again business friendly again.
We balanced our budget -- close -- eight billion dollar budget hole we did it without raising taxes in fact we cut taxes.
-- -- businesses across the country and in Ohio understand that we are open for business and we are creating economic environment where they can be successful.
The president's been here though and he said it all over the country that Ohio is one of those states that prove that his economic policies are working.
How do you respond to the president when he makes those claims whether it's here when he's out talking about Ohio the rest of the country.
-- I -- -- it's actually just the opposite they're not working they're actually hurting we could we could potentially be doing better if we had a real partner in Washington who understood.
What it what it takes for the private sector to create jobs.
-- through our effort CSI -- common sense initiative careers were over reforming our regulations.
While at the same time the federal government is is pushing more regulations on us obamacare and the effect that's going to have.
Not only on government spending 940 million more tax dollars will be spent on Medicaid after it's implemented.
But the impact is going to have on our small businesses across the state of Ohio -- I loved the initiative called CSI common sense initiative.
And it not only because it's a clever name.
-- certainly trendy but but what I loved about it was that it just says we're gonna assembled some of the top business people and our state across the country and asked them.
If you could -- government policy that would cause you to create jobs what is -- going to be.
It's like a jobs council that actually -- unlike the president's so what did they tell you specifically.
Would help them create jobs in Ohio Chris obviously if his work.
Well and we have been meeting so thank you for mentioning that -- I've traveled around the statement and a all of -- many many small business -- round tables talking to small businesses all over the state.
We have a small Business Advisory Council that regularly -- and essentially what they're telling us says.
Lower taxes a certain act on and regulatory environments understanding that your government's being financially responsible.
After we balanced our budget our credit outlook was upgraded that's important to a business -- making a decision to invest a lot of money.
-- in choosing which state they're going to do that and certainty understanding what the environment that they're going to be operating what what's it going to look like.
Governor the I just big claim of the Obama administration has been at his saving and rescuing the other automobile industry.
Is one of the key reasons that Ohio is doing better.
I saw some numbers that didn't quite match set up so what what is their true story about how many of these jobs are auto related jobs.
Well let's get to the numbers we've created over a 1121000.
Jobs just since we took office just in Ohio just in Ohio since we took office of that 1121400.
Of those jobs could be associated with the auto bail -- 400 yet.
Out of a 1121000.
To yes and if you look at where we're growing.
Where we have a diverse economy and were focusing on making a highlight the first economy.
IT technical.
I'm food production food manufacturing.
I'm medical we're growing in many different industry segments and I think that's what's partly contributed to -- house access.
Well it is a fascinating story and I think you and the governor Casey deserve a lot of credit for so I'm gonna give it to you whether the president does or not too because I can do that.

In the Law Technology News June cover story, "Silicon Startups," reporter Tam Harbert describes how Stanford University's Law School has become the "vortex" for entrepreneurship in legal technology. The law school has joined forces with the University's engineering and computer science departments to create the Center for Legal Informatics laboratory — dubbed Code X. Among the results is Lex Machina, a startup offering a rich database of intellectual property litigation information that helps law firms, corporate counsel, and the government refine their trial and settlement strategies. The company just completed a second round of funding, infusing $4.8 million into its war chest. Law Technology News Editor-in-Chief Monica Bay welcomes attorney Roland Vogl, executive director of Code X, to discuss this exciting project on the June edition of Law Technology Now.
