Marie Osmond’s Son Commits Suicide and Stars Support Chile

When I think of the Osmond family, I always think of smiles. In fact, in the ’70s during the height of their popularity, people often made fun of them for their wholesome smiles. We learned a while back that those smiles were often used to hide sorrow. In fact, Marie Osmond named her 2001 book about postpartum depression “Behind the Smile.” Unfortunately, those smiles dimmed again this week as Marie’s 18 year old son, Michael Blosil, committed suicide Friday when he jumped from his eighth floor apartment. TMZ is reporting that Michael, a student at the The Fashion Institute of … Continue reading →

Marie Osmond—Her Lips are Flapping But is Anything Coming Out?

Here we go again… Apparently, there are very few stars in Hollywood who understand that there are benefits to remaining mum on certain topics. No, discretion is not a celebrity strong point and Marie Osmond is a perfect example. The former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant has decided the world would be a better place if we all knew how she felt about the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair picture brouhaha. Yesterday, Osmond went public blaming Miley’s dad, Billy Ray Cyrus for leaving his 15-year-old daughter alone during the photo shoot (F.Y.I. Miley’s grandmother and teacher remained with the teen when … Continue reading →

Parents of Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu fans brace yourselves… it appears the popular kids from Disney’s “High School Musical” series aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. “High School Musical 3” hasn’t even started shooting (filming begins in two weeks in Utah and it’ll be in movie theaters in the fall) and the folks at Disney are already working on “High School Musical 4.” According to Disney execs, the script for “High School Musical 4” is in the process of being inked and as it stands now the project will likely be a TV movie unlike “High … Continue reading →

New Nutrisystem Celebrity

Posted on by

Imagine my surprise when I saw Marie Osmond hawking Nutrisystem in a television commercial yesterday. I knew she had been on Dancing with the Stars and I also knew that she had lost a good deal of weight, but it seems her 40 pound weight loss was due to a combination of the Nutrisystem Program and rigorous Dancing with the Stars workout regimen. Way to go, Marie! When critics blasted her and said she must be anorexic, Marie set the record straight: “First of all, I can’t be anorexic. I like food too much. I’m not on diet pills. And … Continue reading →

Freddie’s Back, Marie Lands a Talk Show, and Britney Sued

If you loved the Nightmare on Elm Street horror movies, you are in luck! New Line is talking to horror production company Platinum Dunes about reviving the movie franchise once again. The Nightmare movies helped put New Line on the studio map in 1984. Made by Wes Craven, it spawned five sequels, television shows, and created a new horror king in Freddie Krueger, the child killing, burned face, razor gloved villain. Of course, everything is on hold until the writer’s strike ends and a screenwriter can be found. The producers – Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form – say … Continue reading →

Eddie Murphy Gets Hitched and Marie Osmond Embraces the Single Life

After several months of delays and threats of cancellation Eddie Murphy and fiancée Tracey Edmonds decided to just do it. The couple reportedly wed on New Year’s Day on a private island in French Polynesia. According to PEOPLE Magazine, the lavish affair was attended by a very small group (less than 30) of family and friends. However, what the wedding lacked in numbers it made up for in elegance. Oprah’s pal, renowned event coordinator Colin Cowie, reportedly created a gazebo on the beach made out of 6,000 shells for the couple’s sunset oceanside ceremony. Cowie also flew in a four-layered … Continue reading →

Marie Osmond’s Two-Stepping Look-A-Like Doll

Faster than you can say Paso Doble, Marie Osmond has moved from ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” to QVC. Did you see it? Last night QVC unveiled Osmond’s new limited collection “Dancing with the Stars” dolls. The 12-inch porcelain dolls are dressed in the same costumes the 48-year-old singer wore on the show. Osmond is hawking the Boogie Woogie doll dressed in the same WWII-era military-inspired costume she wore when she dedicated her “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” jive to her parents. Then, there’s the Paso Doble doll decked out in the Spanish senorita outfit Osmond wore. The Samba doll is … Continue reading →

“Dancing with the Stars” the Truth Finally Comes Out

Come on, is there any fan of “Dancing with the Stars” that truly believes that Marie Osmond should be dancing in tonight’s final? Bless the woman’s heart (and her dancing skills), but let’s be realistic here. It’s no secret that the 48-year-old singer was carried to the final three based on two words: sympathy vote. The mom of eight has a huge fan base that obviously felt compelled to call and text in by the tens of thousands especially once they saw their beloved Osmond collapse on national TV, deal with the death of her father, and come clean about … Continue reading →
