Troubled Hollywood

This is the kind of thing that just makes you feel terrible, similar to Jett Travolta’s tragic death. According to Pop Eater, Patrick Swayze has checked himself into the hospital after coming down with pneumonia. He was supposed to make an appearance at a meeting of the Television Critics Association to promote his new show Beast. This is just days after we watched his interview with Barbara Walters, talking about how his pancreatic cancer has affected his life. It’s just terribly sad.

Perhaps they have a family plan at the drug treatment center. Redmond O’Neal’s drug charges have been postponed to a later date, but his father, Ryan O’Neal pled guilty to a felony charge of drug possession. Both O’Neals were charged after the father’s home was swept for probationary reasons, which turned up a vial of methamphetamines. Peope.com claims Ryan O’Neal was sentenced to eighteen months in a drug deferment program. He gets to now sit and wait for his son to hopefully arrive to keep him company.

Two people were arrested in a burglary at Gregg Allman’s house in Georgia on December 27th, according to Pop Eater. Craig Matthew George, 27, and Brittney Ann Sahlberg, 19, both of Richmond Hill, were charged and accused of taking a coin collection, knives, and unreleased concert recordings. Allman, 61, was out of town durng the break-in. The bad news in all of it is that Allman knows the suspects, but won’t say how. I just think the thieves should be tied to a “whipping post.”

Courtesy of a Hollywood Trivia Calendar by E!, here’s your trivia for today. The previous answer was Academy Award for her leading role in The Good Girl. Jennifer Aniston has never been nominated for an Oscar. I really like her in Marley & Me, and it’s my favorite movie of the year, but I don’t think that’s going to earn her an Oscar either.

Today’s question: True or False: Real-life music lover John Cusack hand-picked Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes for his iconic boombox serenade in Say Anything. Answer tomorrow. Feel free to chime in in the comments with your answers.
