IAN MCKELLEN RIPS OUT BIBLES GAY PAGES

Image
Famed actor Sir Ian McKellen's penchant for ripping out pages of the Bibles he finds in his hotel rooms has caught on. Die hard fans send him sections of text they've removed. The very openly gay "Lord of the Rings" star tears out a section of Leviticus, which condemns homosexuality, whenever he finds the book in hotel suites, and he has inspired others around the world to do the same. He tells Details magazine , "I'm not proudly defacing the book, but it's a choice between removing that page and throwing away the whole Bible. "I got delivered a package of 40 of those pages... that had been torn out by a married couple I know. They put them on a bit of string so that I could hang it up in the bathroom."

ATTORNEY JOHN O'QUNN DEAD IN CAR CRASH

Image
We are very saddened by the death of Houston attorney John O'Quinn in a car crash Thursday morning on Allen Parkway in the famed city. O'Quinn and his longtime assistant, Johnny Lee Cutliff, died instantly when the lawyer lost control of his speeding SUV on the rain-slicked street and it slammed head-on into a tree just west of downtown. He won a string of judgments for victims of problematic breast implants, and helped negotiate a $15 billion settlement for the state of Texas from tobacco companies. Another lead attorney for Mrs. Arthur on the Anna Nicole Smith cases, Neil McCabe today told the Houston Chronicle , “Everyone is devastated, John not only was the head of the law firm but a person who took care of all of us and we are going to miss him very much.” Having only met this dynamic man once at a event in New York City, I really liked this guy. He was passionate about his work. He had a reputation for helping people that no one else would help. These are the kind of peo

POLICE ESCORT JONAS TO HAUNTED HOUSE

Image
**** KEVIN JONAS IS THE REAL GHOUL AT BLOOD MANOR **** Blood Manor This is really the kind of stuff that really pisses us off. Kevin Jonas with his fiance Danielle Deleasa early this evening went to New York's premiere Halloween hotspot Blood Manor on 27th street. This is the story we got from our photographer we sent down there. This is how he saw it, it probably will not be the version they release to the press. Their version will be how wonderful Kevin Jonas was. Well we are telling you it is a crock of crap ! First of all Kevin Jonas arrives with a police escort. This really get's our goat at Times Square Gossip. Our photographer over heard the cop say that he could not believe he got pulled off a case to do this S**T. We can not believe this either. We have cocaine dealers all over 8th avenue in Times Square harassing everyone walking by to try to sell them cocaine. I have complained endlessly to the Police department, and they do nothing. But they will escort Kevin Jonas

COREY FELDMAN SHOCKED ABOUT DIVORCE

Image
Corey Feldman is speaking out of his anguish over wife Susie's decision to file for divorce, saying he is "deeply hurt and saddened" by the breakdown of their marriage. The former child star married the Playboy pin-up Susie Sprague in 2002, and the couple has a 5-year-old son, Zen. Sprague filed for divorce earlier this month, citing irreconcilable differences and stating she would seek full custody of their child. But Feldman is insisting the news came as a shock, claiming he played no part in the "demise of the marriage." In a statement, a spokesperson for the actor says, "Corey is deeply hurt and saddened by this unexpected change in their relationship, and has done nothing to contribute to the demise of the marriage." The statement adds, "(Feldman is) hopeful that he and Susie can work to resolve this quickly and amicably, and he is fully committed to doing what is best for the welfare of their son."
