I love you, you love me. We’re now a scandalous family… In news that is most definitely not meant for children, Patrick Leach – the 27-year old son of the woman who created everyone’s favorite purple dinosaur – has been arrested for attempted murder. According to TheAcorn.com, Leach is accused of shooting a man in the chest on January 9. Few other details, including motive, are available at this time – but authorities say they have come across evidence that connects Leach to the crime. He was arrested in Agoura Hills, California, while the victim was treated at the hospital and is expected to recover. Patrick is the child of Sheryl Leach, the founder of Barney & Friends . He is now free on $1 million bail.
Very well done, Joe Jonas! The young singer was spotted yesterday in Los Angeles with Blanca Eggenschwiler on his arm, a brunette model who sources say is most definitely dating the Jonas Brothers member. How can we be so certain? E! has posted a photo of Joe and Eggenschwiler walking side by side, while a friend Tweeted a photo of himself, Blanca and Kevin Jonas’ wife ( Danielle Deleasa ) earlier this week along with the caption: “hanging with the brothers ladies before the show.” Game. Set. Hot match! Not much is known about Eggenschwiler, except that she was born in Sweden. And she is father easy on the eyes. Joe, of course, famously dated Taylor Swift a couple years ago and dumped her. Via voice message.
For Brandi Cochran, the legal price this holiday season is most definitely right. The Price is Right model first earned $777,000 in court this week, after winning a lawsuit she filed in 2010 because she alleged producers were mocking her pregnancy-based weight gain, referring to her as “wide load” and other cruel terms. But that sum was nothing compared to the punitive damages that were awarded to Brandi yesterday . producers made comments about her pregnancy, including calling her derogatory terms such as “wide load.” Read more celebrity gossip at: http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2012/11/price-is-right-model-wins-suit-wide-load-brandi-cochran-awarded/#ixzz2Cxlc0G3I Once the jury heard further testimony and determined the comments directed at Cochran were malicious as well as negligent, they chose to punish Price is Right executives for these intentionally hurtful insults. To the tune of $7 million. Wow . It sure looks like Brandi Cochran, and anyone on her Christmas list, has something to be thankful for today.
October 10 th 2012 has most definitely been the best day of my life. I went early and made friends with a ton of cool people. After a while of waiting by the tour buses, Kenny and Fredo came out smiling and waving, but went into the venue before anybody could talk to them. But luckily, Kenny came back. I somehow managed to get Kenny’s attention by calling out, “Hey Kenny” and he was like “Huh” and I’m like we have matching tattoos (we both have treble clef tattoos). He looked up and I showed him my wrist and he nodded in approval and said “nice” or “cool” or something along those lines. I also complimented his slippers haha. After some more talking he left to go take a shower, and at that point Scrappy and Allison came out and talked for a little. Once they were gone, my friends and I moved from the buses, to the loading area and saw Moshe. But then Tay came over on a Segway and distracted us all, he’s super nice! Then Dan came out! He was beyond sweet. I had talked to him on the phone while they were touring in Japan during the “My World hotline” and he remembered me as the “Vancouver girl.” We talked about Carly, and Vancouver and a few other things and he’s such a genuinely nice person I couldn’t believe he was standing in front of me having a REAL conversation with me. At this point, the friend who I was going to the concert with arrived and we went to get our wristbands…to meet Justin! Oh my…once I opened the curtain I was in awe. I didn’t realize he was right there so I was beyond shocked when I heard him say “Hey sweetheart! How are you” I literally blurted out “Holy shit you’re perfect” and he replied with “Thank you sweetheart come here” and so I went in for a hug and he smells amazing and he gives the best hugs. I was just holding on to him the entire time and didn’t wanna let go. It goes by so quick I couldn’t believe it was happening I just kept staring at him. The kid really likes to say “Sweetheart” though. I’m sure he said it about half a dozen times. For picture time, he had his arm around me and was actually holding on tightly and it was just the best feeling. He’s flawless. But that’s not it. As I was walking out of the Meet and Greet curtain, I saw Fredo! I said his name and pulled him out with me and hugged him and told him how much I love him and how amazing he is. I had gotten a customized hat for him and so I got to give him that. He loved it. He told me he was going to wear it on stage and that he was gonna rock it all night. Then we posed for a picture and he kept saying “one more” “one more” to my friend who was taking them. He’s honestly such an amazing guy. As I was about to leave he kissed my cheek and told me to have fun and to watch out for him. As if that wasn’t enough Fredo tweeted me saying it was nice meeting me. I freaked out cause I never gave him my Twitter. He asked my name as we were talking and I said “Pargol” but I didn’t think he even heard or understood cause I was rambling. Then a little later he tweeted me again! This time he sent me a picture of himself posing in the hat I gave him :’) Honestly made my night. Finally it was time for the show. It was my 5 th of 6 th time seeing Carly so no doubt I thought she was brilliant. But then Justin, wow the choreography was amazing, the singing was amazing, the entire production was beyond words. At one point he made eye contact with me and walked right over to me and grabbed my hand. I just about died right there. Oh and Fredo didn’t lie. He rocked my hat on stage ‘She Don’t Like The Lights.’ Overall my night was incredible. The crew is just so sweet and Justin is wow. I’m forever grateful. Up until the night before the show, I never thought anything like this was possible for me… but it happens. Never give up, and I promise you it will happen. I’ve been waiting for my opportunity since November 1 st 2009 when he first canceled a M&G in Vancouver and tried and tried every chance I got since then and I didn’t succeed until 3 years later. But it happened and it was worth the wait. – @PargolHamidi Read the original: October 10th 2012 has most definitely been the best day of my…

Taylor Swift is known for penning songs about her personal life, specifically any breakup that has left her heartbroken . But the singer is reportedly so taken with Conor Kennedy that members of his famous family don’t believe Swift will ever write a track about her new 18-year old boyfriend. EVER. That’s right: the Kennedys could see this pair getting married. I am never, ever, ever splitting with Conor Kennedy! Swift and Kennedy just started dating in July, but insiders tell The New York Post that “things have become so serious between them so fast that no one in Hyannis Port would be surprised if they eloped .” Taylor left her man last week in order to take care of some business in Nashville, but sources say she missed Conor so much that she sent a private plane to bring him to her in Tennessee. Adds the mole: “They are inseparable and are all over each other all the time… She always falls very hard and becomes very intense very quickly, and this time is no exception. In fact, she seems to have fallen even harder.” As a sure sign that the relationship is most definitely serious, Taylor accompanied Conor to his mother’s grave last week.
James Holmes has been identified as the suspect who opened fire inside a Colorado movie theater early this morning, injuring over 50 attendees and killing at least 12 people on hand to watch a screening of The Dark Knight Rises . The 24-year old is in police custody.
Such violence, such evil is senseless. It’s beyond reason. But while we will never know fully what causes somebody to take the life of another, we do know what makes life worth living. The people we lost in Aurora loved and they were loved. They were mothers and fathers; they were husbands and wives; sisters and brothers; sons and daughters, friends and neighbors. They had hopes for the future and they had dreams that were not yet fulfilled. So stated Barack Obama today in an address from Fort Myers, Florida, as he addressed the tragic Colorado shooting that took the lives of 12 people inside an Aurora movie theater.
Somewhere, Ann Curry might be smiling right about now. Not only has The Today Show ‘s replacement of this co-anchor with Savannah Guthrie NOT resulted in a ratings spike, but the program lost to rival Good Morning America by over 300,000 total viewers during Guthrie’s debut week behind the desk. Moreover, according to New York Post sources, Guthrie has developed severe headaches as a result of her promotion. “She goes to a doctor two days a week for treatment of the migraines, and is required to wear dark glasses when she’s not on set,” said this Page Six insider . “The pressure of taking over after Ann’s execution is taking its toll.” The journalist is not expected to miss any time as a result of these injuries, and will most definitely be traveling to London with Today for the upcoming Olympics. She remains a trooper, saying the mole. “You would never been able to know anything was wrong by watching her at work.” [Photo: WENN.com]
