He endured a long battle with drugs and alcohol addiction before he died on Friday. He knew what drug is and that is why he has publicly battled addiction and appeared on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" series in 2008, when he admitted his addiction to cocaine, alcohol and painkillers and talked about his sexual abuse as a child and his co-dependent relationship with his then-girlfriend Vikki Lizzi.

When Conaway was found unconscious in his home earlier this month, his manager released a statement saying Conaway had likely overdosed on drugs. The actor's history of substance abuse has seen heavy publicity in recent years from Conaway's stints on Celebrity Fit Club and Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew. Drew himself, however, said there is no evidence that Conaway died from an overdose.

His manager, Phil Brock said, "He was the consummate performer and entertainer," said Brock. "We're thankful his struggles are over, but we know he will be missed by legions of fans worldwide." Conaway began his performing career on the stage. He was in the Broadway production of Grease for two years, in the lead role of Danny Zuko. He switched to TV, landing a part on Happy Days and then the movie version of Grease (although Travolta played Danny on screen). Conaway also had a long running role in the TV sitcom, Taxi.

Brad Pitt, really bad father as in "Tree of Life"

Brad Pitt, not perfect in real life parenting skills:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie  
The trailer"The Tree of Life," by Terrence Malick has recently been released after winning the top prize Palme d'Or 2011 at Cannes. In it Brad Pitt plays a stern 1950s father of six. The reporters are not late to know about his real life parenting skills with Angelina Jolie and six children. In response he confesses that he is not perfect in real life, either.
"Not [like I'm] a horrible parent, but I've certainly made mistakes and had to make up for it," he tells People. "I'm painfully aware that my actions leave a double mark on them in these formidable years, so I make sure I don't bring my crap home." When it comes to the projects he takes on, Pitt tells The Washington Post that his kids have led him to think twice about the direction of his career. 
"I think I spent more time jacking around a little bit," he explains of his early roles. "I was more attuned to irreverence and not doing what I was supposed to be doing." Now, each film hold a little more weight. "I'm conscious that my kids are going to grow up and see these films someday, and I want them to mean something," he explains.

"I'm much more interested in leaving them something they'll be proud of in the end. I've only got so many more of these to do, so I'm just more focused on them having some meaning." William Bradley "Brad" Pitt, 47, co-acted by Jessica Chastain as opposite role, would certainly be apprecited for his adjustment with almost new in film Jessica Chastain in shooting and real life with the imaginative and colorful world.

Dabbie Harry will not stop singing

Dabbie Harry in her Youth
Dabbie Harry as strong as ever:

Debbie Harry, The 65 years old American singer-songwriter and actress still going strong and as sweet as what she was famous for. This lead singer of the Punk Rock and frontwoman of new wave band Blondie has released her new album 'Panic of Girls.' In this album her voice is the proof that she still manages to hit the high notes she was famed for. In an interview she said that she is not willing to stop singing and she doesn't want to just perform her old hits. “I do my fair share of shouting, but we lower the key,” she joked.
Dabbie Harry, old in age not in action
“I’ve been practicing. I got to a point where I was interested in studying and learning how to do it as opposed to just fudging along. I do protect it [my voice].” That means we will have more new creation from her and it will certainly take her to a position worth following. "I guess I'm sort of a blabbermouth," she said. "I have things to say that lay on my mind. I think that's important." She added that she likes those people who embrace their life and give everything it needs rather than relying on others or something.

She said UK TV show Loose Women, “I think having faith is an important thing but I also think having faith in yourself is the ultimate. Throwing your faith away to something that may or may not exist is a lot of responsibility. Once you really take responsibility for your life and who you are that’s the ultimate and the best thing.”

As a solo artist she was successful and in the mid-1990s she performed and recorded as part of The Jazz Passengers. Her acting career includes thirty film roles and television appearance for many times. Debbie Harry, birth name Deborah Ann "Debbie" Harry was born in July 1, 1945 in Miami, Florida, U.S.A.

Scotty McCreery, the 10th American Idol

Scotty McCreery, the new star
Scotty McCreery is the new Fox star:

On May 25, 2011 grand finale of 10th American Idol declared Scotty McCreery, a 17-year-old high school student from Garner, North Carolina. The world now see whether he will be a winner in the grandstage of the music world. After performing nearly flawlessly throughout the 10th season of the Fox talent competition, he in a word snatched away the title beating Lauren Alaina.

And he did it with an unwavering commitment to country music — even when challenged with other genres. During the show's installment of Elton John tunes, McCreery uncovered John's "Country Comfort" and made it his own. Jennifer Lopez evaluated him saying, "You have amazing instincts about performing and about what's right for you," Armed with an cool aw-shucks attitude and genuinely goofy grin, McCreery managed to outlast an array of more seasoned and outgoing finalists, such as eccentric 20-year-old jazz lover Casey Abrams of Idyllwild, Calif., wailing 22-year-old rocker James Durbin of Santa Cruz, Calif., and sultry 20-year-old vocalist Haley Reinhart of Wheeling, Ill.


Scott Cooke "Scotty" McCreery  was born on October 9, 1993. From his childhood he used to imitate Elvis Prisley and learned guiter at the age of 10. He attended West Lake Middle School and sang at his graduation. He also attended Garner Magnet High School where he joined a vocal ensemble, Die Meistersingers, that performs across the United States. He started out singing tenor but switched to bass when his voice turned lower in his sophomore year. He won a singing contest called "Clayton Idol" at the Clayton Harvest Festival in Clayton, North Carolina and was one of 36 finalists in a "Rip the Hallways" contest featuring teenage vocalists in North Carolina. He has performed at various local events.

His coronation song is "I Love You This Big." In the Finale he got more than 122 million votes poured in, marking a new record in "Idol" history, bringing the season total to more than 730 million votes- Fox announced.


Final song: I love you this big>>>>>>>

Jennifer Lopez not decided for American Idol 2012


Jinnifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez still uncertain for next season:
Fox reality show American Idol 10th season has just ended crowning Scotty McCreery but there rises a question that whether Jennifer Lopez would sign up as a Judge for the next season that starts in January. The 41 year-old singing superstar has boosted ratings and attracted rave reviews since joining eight months ago.

Lopez in American Idol 10th season
Unlike her fellow Judge Steven Tyler  and Randy Jackson who signed a multi-year contract, Lopez signed only a single-year contract for a rumored $12 million. She has earned significantly less money from the show than fellow judge Steven Tyler who will return through the 11th season alongside original judge Randy Jackson. Tyler reportedly raked in $18 million for the first season alone.
JENIFER the music and look
"It's too early to tell," said Lopez but Fox chief Peter Rice said earlier this week "We loved having her -- the hope and expectation is she'll return." “The format is so strong,” Rice said. “Ultimately, we needed credibility in the judges. We needed them to want to be there and to be entertaining. We needed chemistry among them, and I think they gave us that in spades. It’s been a fantastic season.” Rice said that Fox and “Idol” worked hard not to replace Cowell, who departed at last season’s end, because the network knew that Cowell would return with “The X Factor” this fall. The Judging trio will be in place and we will have another American idol for 11th season.


The winners of all seasons:


Kelly Clarkson (2002)
Ruben Studdard (2003)

Carrie Underwood (2005)

Arnold Schwarzenegger abused state funds?

Lawyer denied Schwarzenegger's  abuse of state funds:

Mr. Ex Universe Arnold Schwarzenegger's lawyer on May 25, 2011 turned down the rumors that the former California governor used state funds to conceal his extramarital abuse. This 63 years actor's prosecutor,  Marty Singer claims that his client used members of the California Highway Patrol to "to ferry scantily clad women in and out of his [hotel] suite" were "completely false." He said that media is highlighting what is not actually happened. He added "Unfortunately, the media's relentless desire for new information has some outlets running stories that are made up by paying sources that have zero credibility."

"My client stated from the beginning that he takes full responsibility for his actions and deserves the public and media criticism. This does not entitle some in the media to be totally irresponsible," the lawyer added, referring to the recent revelations, in the wake of Schwarzenegger's split with wife Maria Shriver, that the movie star turned politician had fathered a lovechild with housekeeper Mildred Patty Baena. 

Two former California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers also spoke out Wednesday, denying they helped the former California governor cover up his love affairs. "I can say without a shadow of a doubt as a supervisor of his protective detail that at no time did I see Governor Schwarzenegger say or do anything that could be deemed inappropriate," retired CHP Sergeant Mark Hammond, who worked for Schwarzenegger for seven years, told TMZ.
Mildred Patty Baena with whom Schwarzenegger has a child
"I never witnessed the Governor acting in a less than honorable manner," said Manny Trevino, retired CHP officer. This extramarital controversy led Schwarzenegger, 63, and Shriver to announce in May that they had separated after 25 years of marriage which produced four children -- Katherine, 21, Christina, 19, Patrick, 17, and 13-year-old Christopher.

Its an irony of fate that so powerfull a man (Physically and Politically, the 38th Governor of California, 2003-2011) has at last could not keep his family life strong and intact.

Jose Canseco would marry Gaga in a second.


Jose Canseco wants to marry Gaga:
Jose Canseco, the 46 years old former Major League Baseball outfielder and designated hitter and current manager/designated hitter/first baseman for the Yuma Scorpions of the North American League openly admits his love for Lady Gaga. On May 23, 2011 he twitted "I love lady gaga wish I could meet her .would marry her in a second."
Lady Gaga and Jose Canseco
It is really an interesting news if Lady Gaga responds or comments to his profession as there is at least a big difference of age, Canseco is 46 and Gaga is 25. If she accept it would be an insane marriage. Imagine the type of people that could go to a wedding like that. Would Gaga dress as some sort of demon, wrapped in an egg with a baseball jersey on over her wedding dress? Would Gaga be agree to Lady Canseco anytime soon?

This is not for the first time. Earlier he also wrote, "I am her night (sic) in baseball armor," "Her song 'Judas' is what we fight with everyday because we are born evil," and “Lady gaga where r u did u get my marriage proposal I am at cocoa casino in yuma Arizona."

It is really not a good news for Lady Gaga as she has just released her latest CD titled “Born This Way” and her soaring popularity might get a bad impression worldwide. She might have experienced it in Grand Finale of American Idol on May25, 2011. Lindsay Lohan is also facing the same problem at this time, though the stalker is not known even by herself.

Jessica Chastain, a new star in Hollywood


Jessica Chastain, a promising star:
Jessica Chastain, 30, is emerging as an excellent star which she already proved through her work and recognition given her by the people that know the filmography well. She may be the busiest actress in Hollywood in the coming years. As many as half a dozen of her films are rolling into theaters in the coming months. Last week in Cannes International Film Festival she was busy promoting her upcoming film "Tree of Life."  Terrence Malick won the highly coveted award Palme D'Or this year for this film. She plays opposite Brad Pitt, whom she calls "perfect" and is relieved that this film, along with a slew of previous projects (some of which she filmed four years ago), are finally hitting the big screen.


More to read: Brad Pitt, really bad in parenting skill in real life>>>>

This veteran stage actress's only two of the 11 films in the past four years released so far. Some of her other films, among them the Holocaust-revenge thriller "The Debt" with Helen Mirren, were delayed because of distribution troubles, so they now are coming to theaters around the same time as dramas she shot more recently, including this summer's best-seller adaptation "The Help."

Three other Chastain films – "Coriolanus" with Ralph Fiennes, "Take Shelter" with Michael Shannon and "The Fields," reuniting her with "The Debt" co-star Sam Worthington – also are tentatively scheduled to come out by the end of the year.

"I'm just nervous that I'm going to be the newcomer that every one's sick of, and they don't even know my name. People are like, 'Why is this girl in every single movie I'm seeing this fall?'" Chastain said in an interview at the Cannes Film Festival. "Take Shelter" also screened at Cannes.

Chastain grew up in northern California and dreamed of becoming an actress from about the age of 5, despite her family's expectations that she would grow out of it. Her father Howard is fireman, her mother Chastain is a "stay-at-home mom slash vegan chef." Chastain said that her parents never discouraged her about the prospects of acting, they did not encourage her, either. By her persistence and after she got into the drama department at Juilliard her parents shifted to Los Angeles. After that she had not turned back to her what is called disappointment.

The concerts are being arranged by Budweiser, famous beer producing company. This singer, producer and actor, known as Chente or El rey de la canción ranchera (The King of the ranchera) throughout the Latin world with Anheuser-Busch Foundation is scheduled to Award College Scholarships Through Hispanic Scholarship Fund at Each Concert. It is really a good news for local students in the 20 cities on the singing legend's much-anticipated 24-concert tour.

Budweiser  will also donate a university scholarship at each venue. The recipient of the scholarship will also get a an opportunity to go backstage to meet the iconic singer. This is the second consecutive year that Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch have partnered with the Mexican singing legend to boost educational opportunities in the Latino community.

"We are contributing to education by way of music," Fernandez said. "I am pleased to collaborate with Budweiser on projects that empower the community, especially the Hispanic Scholarship Fund." To continue its long tradition of supporting Hispanic education, Anheuser-Busch is donating $100,000 this year to the HSF as part of this special program. Since 1982, Budweiser has donated more than $24 million – including $500,000 in 2010 – and awarded 20,000 scholarships to HSF, the nation's leading non-profit organization that supports Hispanic higher education.

President and CEO of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund Frank Alvarez said, "For more than three decades, Budweiser's support for the Hispanic Scholarship Fund has helped thousands of Latino students and their families realize the dream of a college education." "By teaming up with Vicente Fernandez, Budweiser is expanding its investment in the future of the Latino community and helping us move closer to our goal of putting a college degree in every Latino household" he added.

"It's inspiring every time I meet a student or graduate who was able to attend college because of  Anheuser-Busch's support of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund," said Margarita Flores, vice president of community affairs at Anheuser-Busch and a member of the board of directors for HSF. "And it's exciting to partner with Vicente Fernandez, a true cultural icon, on this program to benefit the community. Our support helps students who otherwise could not realize their dream of a college education."

Budweiser is the presenting sponsor for the artist's tour, which kicked off May 6 in Fresno, Calif. The concert tour is produced by Ralph Hauser Promotions and will visit Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and other markets across the United States through November. The full schedule with more cities and exact show dates will be announced at a later date. Vicente Fernandez is appearing in Budweiser's Spanish-language campaign, which includes TV, radio, print, outdoor, interactive and point-of-sale.  In addition, a national sweepstakes will give consumers the chance to win concert tickets, autographed CDs and the opportunity to meet Vicente Fernandez backstage in Las Vegas on Nov. 26.
