'Gimme a Break' Star Nell Carter Dies

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Nell Carter, who played the sassy, matronly housekeeper on the 1980s sitcom "Gimme a Break!" and received a Tony Award in 1978 for her performance in the Broadway musical "Ain't Misbehavin'," died Thursday, her publicist said. She was 54.
The singer-actress collapsed in her Beverly Hills home and was found by one of her 13-year-old sons, spokesman Roger Lane said.
Carter had suffered from diabetes for years, Lane added, and underwent brain surgery in 1992 to remove an aneurysm. She recovered and continued to perform, mostly on stage.
Carter was in rehearsals at a Long Beach theater for "Raisin," the musical version of "Raisin in the Sun."
In addition to Carter's Tony win for "Ain't Misbehavin,'" she won an Emmy in 1982 for a TV broadcast of the show.
Her NBC comedy "Gimme a Break!" ran from 1981 to 1987, and garnered two more Emmy nominations, in 1982 and 1983.
In 1985, an episode of the show was broadcast live — the first for a situation comedy in nearly 30 years. Carter and her costars performed flawlessly, and at the end, she threw up her arms and yelled, "We did it!"
Growing up in Birmingham, Ala., Carter listened to her mother's recordings of Dinah Washington and B.B. King, and her brother's Elvis Presley (news) records. She liked Doris Day (news), the Andrews Sisters, Johnny Mathis (news), and admired the work of Cleo Laine and Barbra Streisand (news).
Carter said she would have preferred to be an opera singer. "When I was growing up, it was not something you aspired to," she said in 1988. "I was a weirdo to want to be in show business. Most kids wanted to be teachers or nurses."

Bobby Brown is no longer an inmate
from EUR WEB:
**If you're concerned about Bobby Brown being hospitalized while, er, playing a local gig in the DeKalb county jail, well booby your Bobby has been given his go-home orders. That's right, because he was a good boy, he will not have to serve the remainder of an eight-day jail sentence for drunken driving after being discharged yesterday from Atlanta's Grady Memorial hospital for an undisclosed ailment.

J-Lo's Ex (#2)
I heard on the Russ Parr morning show that Chris Judd will be awarded $15 million in the divorce settlement to Jennifer Lopez. $15 million for 7 months of marriage, I guess it wasn't a bad deal on his part after all. Hopefully that will teach her when she gets married again in a few months that costs to be stupid.

World Entertainment News Network
January 23, 2003
Rapper DMX is to reveal the truth about his life as a drug dealing killer in a new autobiography.
The hardcore hip-hop star, real name EARL SIMMONS, is to tell all about his dark past in his memoirs E.A.R.L. (EVER ALWAYS REAL LIFE).
He says, "In the book, it talks about the few people that I killed and got away with it.
"It talks about the millions of dollars that I made on the street. There's no faggot s**t, no bulls**t."

Ummmm, who does that? Now I'm no murderer, but even I know that loose lips sink ships. What ever happened to leaving well enough alone? SOMEONE's going to know what he's talking about.

Not only is JD like King Cockroach, he's short. Oh my. He's really short...Janet's not that tall herself. 
And as for DMX, anybody who throws a pit bull at a cop is stone cold nuts. Our family has a pit bull, BTW.
