Nancy Reagan is dead. Nancy Reagan, born on July 6, 1921 in New York, was an American politician. She died on October 25, 2014 at the age of 93.

Tori Spelling‘s cheating husband, that narcissistic train wreck Dean McDermott, recently revealed on her reality show True Tori that he wanted to off himself . The revelation resulted in him being placed on psychiatric hold at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, but a new report suggests it was all BS. Because True Tori is all fake , or at least it’s starting to appear that way. True Tori: Dean McDermott Admits Suicidal Thoughts It’s not that McDermott wasn’t in rough shape, he just wasn’t depressed over cheating on Spelling with Emily Goodhand , as the show made it out to seem. In reality, sources close to him say, he was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold after hallucinating that he could fly … following a hard core partying binge. “He kept telling Tori he could fly, and she was afraid that Dean was going to try and do something crazy, so she sought help for him,” a source told Radar . “Dean didn’t try to take his own life, nor did he threaten suicide. Tori panicked after Dean came home from a partying binge, and was obviously under the influence.” “At no point has Dean ever wanted to end his life. Of course, after being confronted with the cheating, Dean wishes he lived on another planet, but not dead.” Well played, source. “From UCLA, Dean was sent off to another facility for further treatment,” the insider goes on, noting that “essentially, Dean was at UCLA to detox.” The reason for deceiving viewers of True Tori all comes down to one thing: Ratings. “It makes for a better storyline that Dean tried to commit suicide,” the insider said. “If it was just Dean’s hard core partying , it just wouldn’t have a significant impact. There are also concerns about getting into the depths of Dean’s drug problems because of his career.” “No one out there wants to hire a junkie.” Or be married to one apparently. True Tori: 5 Signs Dean McDermott’s Affair Is Fake 1. Tori and Dean Are Broke! Tori and Dean are so broke, he can’t even afford a vasectomy supposedly. Guess that’s why they keep having kids.
President Obama’s inaugural address took place just hours ago, but V.P. Joe Biden is already hinting that he wants to replace his boss. In 2016, that is. At a gathering of influential Iowans Saturday, the gaffe-prone Veep said, “I’m proud to be the president of the United States.” Joe Biden: Proud to Be President! Biden, who unsuccessfully sought the presidency in 1988 and 2008, will be 73 in 2016, making him the oldest person ever elected president. There’s also the matter of Hillary Clinton, Obama’s outgoing Secretary of State and the odds-on favorite for the Democratic nomination … if she runs. Clinton would be 69 and the second-oldest president elected (after Ronald Reagan), incidentally. Whether either actually runs is anyone’s guess. Still, here are other recent hints that Biden is thinking about it: 1. New Hampshire is influential. Among the 120 guests Biden invited to his swearing-in for a second term? New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan. 2. So is Iowa. It was at the Iowa State Society inauguration ball where he mistakenly said, “I’m proud to be president of the United States.” 3. On Election Day in November, Biden dismissed the notion that would be the last time he’d vote for himself. “No, I don’t think so,” he said. 4. Campaigning in October, Biden joked to a voter that, “after its all over, when your insurance rates go down, then you’ll vote for me in 2016.” 5. “There’s plenty of time to think about 2016,” he said last summer. “If three years from now the economy is not working, it’s not going to be worth doing much.” Or if could’ve just been a mistake when he made the above quote. When introducing V.P. candidate Paul Ryan last summer, Mitt Romney referred to him as “the next President of the United States” … which he still could be. What do you think? Would/should Joe Biden run in 2016?

A few weeks ago Chicago SKINema fans got a chance to interact with screen siren Sybil Danning when Mr. Skin presented Chained Heat (1983) at the Music Box Theatre . Don’t worry if you missed it, because we’ve got the footage of the skinfamous Austrian sexbomb’s follow up Q&A. The highlights include Sybil calling out Linda Blair on not being proud of her nude debut, why Chained Heat is better than Star Wars (hint: boobs), and what she shares in common with both Elvira and Ronald Reagan . Plus, what it was like to work with Roger Corman , Wendy O’Williams , and the best advice she got from her 5-time co-star Christopher Lee . She even describes a dinner out with Sun Times critic Roger Ebert who later wrote a glowing review . Surprise, surprise. See the video after the jump!
The Florida Republican primary is less than a week away and the gloves are off. Having been whomped in South Carolina, Mitt Romney came out firing in Monday night’s Florida debate and has kept up the pressure on his GOP rival all week. New pro-Romney ads are calling Gingrich a liar who’s exaggerating loose ties to Ronald Reagan and drops names instead of touting his own policy credentials. Newt lashed out at Mitt today for questioning his conservative values. Watch: Newt Gingrich Defends Conservative Values “This is the man who stood up the other night to question my credentials as a Reaganite? This is the kind of gall they have to think we are so stupid, and we are so timid,” Gingrich said at an outdoor campaign event in Orlando, Florida. Newt has slipped a bit in recent polls since his demonstrative win. Can he shift the momentum back his way when the candidates debate again tonight?
That bottomless treasure trove of pop-culture conservatism know as Big Hollywood has done it again, showcasing a guest post from Kirk Cameron about his new documentary Monumental . It has it all: Growing Pains call-outs, Ronald Reagan quips, history tourism, longing gawks at American flags, Cameron and family saying grace… everything, perhaps, except Sarah Palin excreting some half-truth about Wasilla. Have a look! You won’t regret it, either. Those on the right will nod approvingly of the actor-filmmaker’s spirit-nourishing quest, and those on the left will reel ecstatically from all, oh, 241 reaction shots featuring Cameron in various stages of pride, vexation, indigestion, and/or all of the above. (I especially urge you to savor the side-splitting morsel around the :39 mark.) “What if real change doesn’t start at the top but at the bottom?” he writes at BH. “What if the best place to begin transforming our country is not the Oval Office but the dinner table?” Ha! Good luck with that — check-splitting with underemployed media types is at least twice as hard as guiding our nation. I can only imagine what it’s like with six kids. The Cameron screens one night only on March 27. Learn more here , or not. [ Big Hollywood ]
Sarah Palin has a way with words. The 2008 V.P. nominee, who hasn’t formally endorsed Newt Gingrich but still told people to vote for Newt in South Carolina and is clearly glad he won Saturday’s primary, had some fun with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s reaction to Gingrich’s win. After Christie, a Romney supporter and surrogate, bashed Gingrich as an embarrassment to the Republican party, Palin stated, eloquently, that Chris just has his panties in a wad over his guy losing. Sarah’s words, not ours. Watch: Sarah Palin on Chris Christie
