As for Sam.   What does he do?   Unless he has a job, is he living off the Britney gravy train now?   

Sam has had his own fitness training business, Asghari Fitness, since before he met Britney.

As for the whole Kevin Federline staying home with the kids & wanting more money thing, the problem wasn't giving him more money for Jayden & Sean, the problem was that Kevin's wife also didn't work, & Britney was basically also paying for Kevin's other kids to have the same lifestyle as Jayden & Sean.

That’s what I would do. And since Britney apparently owns their house, I’d also be all, “Ok, everybody out. My boys can stay but the rest of you go find your own place.”

She may be ok with him keeping the house, who knows? If I had millions, I’d be pretty generous. But I agree that she should do whatever pleases her.

It's one thing for a single mom or dad to receive spousal and child support and stay home. But once they re-marry, at least one of them should work if they are physically and mentally able. They need to support themselves once the kids are grown and child support ends.

It will be interesting to see what will happen once the younger son turn 18. I'm willing to bet she will provide for them financially. But where will that leave Kevin, his wife, and his other children? They need to man/woman up and learn to support themselves.

And lest we forget, Britney has made it clear that a new baby GIRL with her new husband is a top priority for her.  

That's a weird dynamic when you're a teen boy and it's your mom.   And new hubby has only been around for 3 years.  That's easy time when you're able to live far beyond your previous means.  What did this Sam dude do before becoming a professional Britney wrangler?  Oh yeah, a model.  And being 12 years younger than Britney is definitely NOT an indicator he wanted a sugar mama.  Nope, that NEVER happens.  

Because men don’t often marry women 10-12 years younger than they are? I rarely hear anyone call those women out. 🤷‍♀️

In your scenario, the husband work and the wife stay at home. Both of them are not staying at home. One of them is earning the money for their specific household.

Does Kevin's wife have a job which allows them to support themselves and their children once Brittany stop paying child support? If so, great. If not, then that means neither husband or wife in that specific household work. Take Brittany and the 2 sons out of it. What are they doing to financially support their own children?

Yeah, any single stay-at-home parent needs to be thinking about the future when the child support ends.  Kevin had time to think about his future without Britney's money and go back to school or get a regular job.  He was in a better financial situation than most other dancers.  At least he had years of regular money coming in that could provide for him and his children.  Not everyone is so lucky.  I'm getting whiffs of Cousin Eddie here being out of work for seven years because he's holding out for a management position.  

I'm also side-eying the second Mrs. Federline who also seems content to live off of her husband's ex's largesse.

I am talking about BOTH of them being unemployed and living off a third party.  I'd have no issue if she were working outside the home and he was the stay at home.  I was the primary bread winner in my home when my husband was getting his PhD.

Eh, not every relationship has to be serious. Pete and Kim had fun and there's no hard feelings between them.

James Franco has been cast as Fidel Castro in a movie, and people are up in arms because he's not Latino, and of course his past sexual harassment. The filmmakers claim it's based purely on looks:

Boycotts have already been called.

I'll boycott it just because I find James Franco annoying as hell, if that helps.

The difference is, I don’t think Kim gave a fuck about who Kanye was dating. She wouldn’t have been hurt by seeing pictures of him with a new girlfriend. She wasn’t/isn’t obligated to “knuckle under” to please him, but why choose to continue hurting someone deeply? Especially the father of your kids. All I’m talking about is not flaunting her new BF online, and certainly not posting pictures of herself and the new guy IN BED together. 

So effing what?  I don't like Kim Kardashian, but she was not responsible for managing Kanye's feelings in any way.  He and he alone was.

He’s a selfish asshole, but a person in the throes of mania can’t see things clearly, nor will they ever voluntarily decide to start taking their meds. He probably should have been hospitalized for a few days.

Kanye's mental health is his permanent excuse to be a giant fucking asshole.  If he really cared about his mental health, and really cared about the people in his life whom he claims to love, he'd do something about his illness.

FWIW, I think it's very short sighted when anyone doesn't have a plan B once they get married. Men or women. God doesn't guarantee tomorrow, and people who rely solely on their spouses for income are often one sickness/disaster/death away from total ruin.

Exactly. Those two kids go off to college, I’m sure Britney is more than happy to pay for that, tuition, dorm housing, etc… And once that happens, she’s under no obligation to pay  KFed’s rent. And for that matter… rent? He’s renting? Why didn’t he use all that money to BUY a house? Property values always go up, he could’ve sold it once the gravy train ended and had some equity.

I doubt Sean and Jayden are going to college. Like many of their peers they probably expect to become online influencers as a career, and with their celebrity spawn pedigree likely will be successful.

There is absolutely no problem. I was just trying to emphasize the double standard some still have, sadly. I rarely see anyone batting an eye when men marry women a decade younger than they are (or even younger than that). It’s incredibly tiresome and sad. A few years ago, I watched some episodes of 90 Day Fiancé (don’t judge! 🤣) and when a man brought his fiancée over, people only wondered about HIS job. When a woman brought a man over, people worried about what HE would do for work. Rarely any concerns about what the women in either position would be doing to help support them.

There is nothing to indicate they are going down that path. They could once they turn 18 but they have no public social media presence. 

Say what you will about Kevin as a person but my all accounts he is a good dad. He is clearly afforded they opportunity due to Britney’s money but there are so many who have the and still suck as parents. Awhile back one of their sons went viral and after that their social media accounts were locked down and completely private.

Does anyone know if she actually doesn’t work? From what I can tell there is very little information about her and people seem to be assuming she doesn’t work. Kevin has never held a normal job so it’s not surprising to be that he’s not working and it appears she is educated with a lot of drive. According to E! was a former professional beach volleyball player and was a special education teacher.

If it makes you feel any better, he's playing a concert at the UBS arena and they're papering (giving away free tickets because they can't fill the venue). Also, I would not be able to name any of the other members of Pink Floyd and will promptly forget this man's name as well.

I watched Grease so many times. Her experience with breast cancer... I just can't imagine how difficult it was to go through it over and over. 

https://people.com/music/olivia-newton-john-dead-age-73-breast-cancer/

Quote

Singer-songwriter and actress Olivia Newton-John — a four-time Grammy winner and star of beloved movie musical Grease — has died. She was 73.

"Dame Olivia Newton-John passed away peacefully at her Ranch in Southern California this morning, surrounded by family and friends. We ask that everyone please respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time," her husband, John Easterling, announced Monday on Newton-John's social media channels.

"Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer. Her healing inspiration and pioneering experience with plant medicine continues with the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be made in her memory to the @onjfoundation."

[...] She was doing well in February of last year as she prepared for daughter Chloe Lattanzi's wedding. "I'm so lucky to still be doing all these things," Newton-John told PEOPLE. "I don't think I imagined living this long! I feel very blessed."

Here's a video of Anne Heche as Vicky/Marley. This is a cut above typical soap acting. I love how she makes the twins distinct people, but you also see a little of the Vicky fierceness in Marley.

She had one of my favorite acting moments ever on that show. I've never been able to find it online, though.  I always rooted for her.  I thought she made the new Michael J Fox show so much better when she joined it which I think was the last thing I saw her in.

Exactly.  So many people with so many negative assumptions, and so few FACTS about these people.  I'll cop to it, I think Sam's a bit of a gold digger.

But I also say if you don't do their tax returns or handle their investments, you know NOTHING about their financial status.  Not everybody broadcasts everything about where their money comes from.

I can't see college for most celeb kids, hers included.  But they may both be total bookworms, getting ready for higher education achievements.  Or Lori Laughlin's kids, 2.0  

Now I'm bored with the entire family.

Thank you. I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who allegedly drove under the influence and purposely drove into buildings where other human beings were going about their lives.  Her life may be a tragic story but she had no right to put other people's lives in jeopardy because of her trauma.

The day before Heche's crashes, there was a horrific incident in L.A. where a driver zoomed at very high speed through a red light, splitting in two and ejecting the passengers of one car, killing everyone (a man, a pregnant woman, and an 11-month old child), which caused a fireball that smashed into a second car, killing those two adult occupants, and causing minor injuries to an SUV full of kids.  The driver had only moderate injuries, and has been charged not just with vehicular manslaughter, but with murder.  It was all caught on the security cameras of a gas station at that intersection.  People are calling for her head.

That Anne only caused property damage and emotional distress, with no death or physical harm to others, and was herself severely injured, is a big factor in the differing reactions, of course.  Also that, unlike any random driver, Anne's battle with substance abuse and the reasons behind her history of self medicating is known to the public.  If the public only knows someone because of their very worst act, that's all they see them as.  If they know more of the whole person, it's harder to demonize.

So if Anne had caused Thursday's horror, reaction to her would be much worse than it is now, where the only person she physically hurt was herself.  But it also wouldn't have been as severe for her, being a white celebrity, than it is for the black nurse.

It's not luck, She's in no state to be going anywhere. And if she survives, she will be facing legal troubles.

The luck is that she didn't kill/hurt anyone (unlike the actress who replaced her on AW).

I too remember her from Another World and being amazed at how good she was as the Hudson twins.

Taika Waititi and Rita Ora are always looking for a round of applause, but today one is actually in order. The lovebirds have finally tied the knot after dating for a year and being engaged for two months. 

[...] It seems the two have been able to keep mum about this for a few days, as Waititi was seen wearing a wedding ring last week. 

“Despite living in the spotlight, Rita is determined to keep the relationship as private as possible and didn’t want to make a big song and dance about the wedding,” the source said. “A big, showbiz-style bash is planned to celebrate, but don’t expect to see it being flogged to the highest-bidding magazine.”

Do you smell that? It’s kind of funky and unpleasant and… oh, right, it’s bullshit. When these two have their big lavish party, we’re going to see every angle of it. If not in the pages of People (classy) then on the Instagram stories of Ora’s pals, a.k.a. the number one online destination for the most random half-famous people in all of the United Kingdom.

My sincere congratulations to the happy couple. You know that their love is real and strong because the “I Will Never Let You Down” singer changed her name to Rita Waititi-Ora, which does not sound good and in fact sounds like a diction warm-up for theater majors.

Doesn't matter.

The fact is she drove reckless, caused serious damage to property. The fact that she didn't seriously injure someone or kill them was extremely lucky. 

I once told a co-worker who had substance abuse problems that if I caught him getting in his car when I knew he had been drinking I was going to call the cops.  I told him it wasn't about him it was about his potential victims. 

Do I hope she gets better, yes but I also hope she gets arrested and faces some serious consequences.

Anne recorded a podcast before the accident where she and her cohost were drinking from bottles of vodka and wine, and she's clearly drunk. It's since been taken down.
 

Quote

She joked that listeners would have to keep their “fingers crossed” that she and co-host Heather Duffy would even make it through the recording.

“We are sitting with Re:Find,” she said of the artisanal vodka, the same type of alcohol that Heche appeared to have in her Mini Cooper in a photo taken just before crashing into a building.

‘We each have a bottle in front of us because our friends sent us a bottle Re:Find!” she said triumphantly, noting how she once “even did a terrible commercial” for the company.

Her co-host then quipped about how a doctor had told them “that we should be drinking vodka instead of wine.”

“And we listened! And we are drinking it — with wine chasers,” Heche said, laughing as she slurred so heavily she even got wrong the name of their podcast.

She's a troubled woman no doubt and has been for years. Has struggled with mental illness and addiction. With that being said, I still have empathy for her because of her horrific childhood and the way she was railroaded during and after her relationship with Ellen. I also think she's a unique talent.

It sounds like she's not going to make it, sadly. Third degree burns and needing a ventilator ... I am wondering if her next of kin are discussing end-of-life decisions.

Also ... for all the criticism given to Dave Letterman, he did have a softer side. He had Anne Heche on his show regularly and was always kind to her, and I enjoyed watching all her interviews with him just because she seemed so happy to have someone not treat her like a punchline.

I don't think anyone expressing empathy for her is arguing that she should escape the consequences of her actions.  One can have empathy and sadness for what we know of her life that led her to either drive drunk or act suicidal (and that's really what this feels like) while still recognizing that she's likely to:

  • face legal consequences
  • face financial consequences
  • have her career ended

And that's only if she doesn't lose her life.

Oh my god, I remember the shitstorm that followed after that episode aired. All because Australia's version of Rush Limbaugh died and we were supposed to care. Although I didn't appreciate, then or now, the argument in the song that Lennon was less talented than McCartney. Those are fighting words.
