Rabid Twihards send hate mail to Kristen Stewart


Oh, to be a Twihard in this day and age. The chaos, the hormones, the angst, the brace-face. Not knowing which end is up - or if you’ve even picked the right side in The Epic Battle Royale of Vampire Supremacy. So imagine you’re a Twihard… you’re crying because you’re imagining Edward walking towards you, brooding, pale, lovely, with chocolate. You’re a Twihard, and you keep reading report after report about how Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson might have something going on, and yet Kristen still has her old boyfriend Michael Angarano. What do you feel? Rage? Lust? Respect? Stabby? Well, many Twihards are answering with a resounding “stabby”. According to the National Enquirer, Twihards are sending Kristen lots and lots of hate mail because she won’t just dump her boyfriend and run off into the sunset with Pattz:

Kristen Stewart is being bombarded by hate mail - accusing her of two-timing hunky co-star Robert Pattinson. [She’s] under attack “from girls who don’t think she’s treating Rob fairly because she’s dating Michael Angarano,” an insider told The Enquirer.

“The fans love Rob, and they love the idea of Kristen and Rob romancing off-screen. But they don’t like the idea that she might be hurting their favorite young actor by stringing him along while she also is still dating Michael.”

Angry fans are sending Kristen letters at the studio, “accusing her of being heartless by dating both guys,” revealed the insider. But her pals insist she’s not with Rob.

“Kristen cares very much for Michael, but she also has a crush on Rob. And while Michael wishes Kristen would get over Rob, he isn’t ready to pull the plug on their relationship.”

“Michael knows that Kristen and Rob still have two more Twilight films to do together, so anything can happen between them. And while he hopes he ends up with her, he knows he might lose her to his rival.”

“Meanwhile, Kristen hates that fans are upset with her. She wants them to know she genuinely cares for both Rob and Michael - and doesn’t want to hurt either.”

“Kristen hopes fans will understand how she feels and stop sending her hate mail.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, July 6 2009]

I would pay real, actual money to read some of that hate mail. In lieu of actually reading it, I’m going to write some of my own - think of it as a dramatic reenactment of Twihard fan fiction turned crazy. How about this: “Bella you should stop being so cold, you hateful mean spiteful bad woman! Hook up with Edward and tell me how it was!!” Or this: “My mom says you should not be such a floozy, kissing two boys at once, choose your side, PATTZ HATER.” My final dramatic reenactment: “K- you suck as Bella, and now you suck at being a girl. Your boyfriend is ugly, and you suck. Pattz is too good for you, so I hope you never break up with your dumb, ugly, sucky boyfriend, LAMER. If you ever see Pattz you should LITERALLY kiss the ground he walks on. The fact that you haven’t just shows how DUMB you are!!!!” Oh, Twihards. Ten bucks says I totally nailed it.

Rosie O’Donnell Radio Show — “Rosie Radio” Fall 2009 Sirius XM Radio

Rosie O’Donnell is returning to her roots as a talk show host, but this time, instead of the small screen, the chatty comic will be bringing her signature sound to satellite radio.
Rosie will host a daily, two-hour morning talk show, titled Rosie Radio, for Sirius XM Radio Inc, The Associated Press has learned. Listeners will have the opportunity to call in and talk to the star about pop-culture, politics, movie stars, and more.

The former co-host of The View, 47, says the deal came after her candid appearance on Howard Stern’s Sirius XM show earlier this year.

“After I did his show, they called and asked if I was interested. I don’t really listen to radio, so I started thinking about it and listening,” Rosie told The AP on Thursday. “I asked if they could possibly do it at my house because that would really make it convenient for me with four kids, and they said yes, so I was like, ‘Wow. Let’s try that.’”

“I think it’ll be good for me,” Rosie says of the new venture. “I’ve been lucky. I’ve had seven years of early retirement. All my kids are in school now, so all day long I have nothing to do. This was the first year that they were all in school all day, and I found myself very bored. I was saying to Kelli, we either need to get another kid or I’ll have to go back to work.”

Rosie Radio will air Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET (7 a.m. to 9:00 a.m, PT) on SIRIUS XM Stars, SIRIUS channel 102 and XM channel 155.

The Best Bruno Outfit Yet

We couldn’t resist — Sacha Baron Cohen really pulled it out of the bag for the German premiere, just as Bruno fatigue might have been setting in. His Austrian alter-ego wowed the crowds in Berlin with the most, uh, creative use of pink material ever. And Ugg boots. Hopefully it won’t take off as much as the Borat ‘mankini’ did at costume parties — this truly is the stuff of fashion nightmares. [Photo: Splash News Online]

Okay this is just disgusting

It’s a crappy economy, so you have to admire Cheetos in thinking outside the box. But using a Cheetos flavored lip balm doesn’t seem like the best idea in the world.

I’ve kissed girls with awful things on their lips before, but I’d be pretty skeeved out if it were someone with Cheetos flavoring on their lips. In fact, based upon the types of people that typically eat Cheetos, if you’ve gone out of your way to eat Cheetos in the past year, you’re probably not the one for me. I’d rather get my lip balm freshly squeezed from a homeless man’s dingleberries than use this.

Prince Harry beats Robert Pattinson to be Britain’s most eligible bachelor


A recent poll was conducted in Britain to determine the most eligible British man. Of course, the poll skewed younger, or else the unequivocal winner would have been Daniel Craig. Instead, the new James Bond didn’t even place in the top five. The winner of this illustrious poll? None other than the Ginger Prince himself, Prince Harry. Harry beat what many British Twihards thought would be the hands-down victor, Robert Pattinson. Other British bachelors who placed on the list include Guy Ritchie and this guy I had to look up, George Lamb. Lamb looks like a scraggy whippet of a boy, but apparently he’s Scottish, so I would probably fall in love with him immediately once I heard his accent.

While researching this poll for “Britain’s Most Eligible Bachelor” I found this horrendous essay by Mark Russell for GQ UK, called “In Praise of Prince Harry”. This guy, Russell, fancies himself some sort of Ian Fleming-type journalist, and as he describes why he admires Prince Harry, he uses these words: legendary swordsman, plumped, TV presenter-cum-good-time-girl-cum-one-woman-hen-party, copping a feel, and TV totty. In other words, this guy’s a total douche, and he admires the Ginger Prince because he thinks Harry is as gross as him:

There shouldn’t really be much to like about Prince Harry. What with all that Afrika Korps business and the racist video diary commentary and the hen harrier “incident” and the pap spats, and of course, there’s always the ginger thing too.

But you have to take your hat off to the third in line to the throne for his taste in women. The man is simply a legend. There are no two ways around it: chicks dig the Big H. Take his latest conquest Caroline Flack, for example. She is, by all accounts, something rather special; a TV presenter-cum-good-time-girl-cum-one-woman-hen-party. The sort of girl who is more used to hanging off the arm of a rocker than a royal. In fact, if the News Of The World had its facts correct yesterday, this is a position Ms Flack has indeed found herself on many occasions. Alleged liaisons include Russell Brand, Noel Fielding, Robbie Williams, Max Beesley… Legendary swordsmen, each and every one, and the H-Dog can now proudly take his place alongside them. He’s got previous with TV totty, too, having been photographed copping a feel of Dancing On Ice star Natalie Pinkham in Kitts a few years back.

When it came to long-term girlfriends for the princes, William chose the steady, university-friend classic English rose in the not-uncomely form of Kate Middleton. And Harry? Well Harry plumped for a busty blonde schoolgirl who he met when he scabbed a cigarette off her while he was on a “double gap year”. He’s like Bill Wyman and Ronnie Wood rolled into one. It has to be said, Chelsey Davy looked like she’d be more at home at the Playboy Mansion than Buckingham Palace.

As if to honour this hard work - and prove that there’s still plenty more conquests out there for the H-bomb - Company magazine has voted the Prince Britain’s most eligible bachelor, beating Robert Pattinson, George Lamb and Guy Ritchie. (”That’s easy!” you cry. “Of course women love him, he’s a royal, he’s got stacks of the stuff.” Well, not so. Money and power are not always a guaranteed aphrodisiac. Just ask Bill Gates.) Don’t believe me still? Ask your other half, she’ll tell you. I know I did, and though I was a little shocked at first by the news that this carrot-topped cad was something of a heart-throb among even the most tasteful of women (if I do say so myself), I’ve got used to the idea now, and bow to his superiority. Which, seeing as ‘Arry is a prince, is probably the natural order of things.

[From GQ UK]

So the only reason men like Prince Harry is because he’s a “legendary swordsman”? How outdated is that term? Are we all on an episode of Mad Men? And I don’t care for the hits on gingers in general (for they are lovely, in general) and the hit on Bill Gates. Honestly, if I was given a choice between Prince Harry, Robert Pattinson and Bill Gates, I would totally choose Gates. For marriage, that is. For just sex I would probably choose Harry. Because he’s such a legendary swordsman.

“The Real Housewives Of New Jersey” Danielle Staub Sex Tape

Here’s something you won’t see on Bravo…

Danielle Staub’s penchant for whippersnappers with high sex drives is coming back to haunt her. The former boyfriend of The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s ex-con cougar claims he has a series of videos of the alleged former lady of the night engaged in various sex acts — including masturbation –and the footage could soon be headed to an adult DVD shop near you!

Steve Zalewski, 27, was recently dumped by the 46-year-old Staub last week, and in a new tell-all interview with Star Magazine, Steve is dishing the dirt on Danielle’s devious sex life and her nearly depleted bank account.

“Not only does she want to have sex all the time, but she loves the thrill of doing it in public places, where she might get caught,” Steve says of his exhibitionist ex.

Steve — who Danielle has confessed to using for sex — claims he was intimate with the single mother in cars, at a police firing range, and in a crowded local park.

“She wanted to make love in restaurant bathrooms basically every time we went out — she’d get all excited and say, ‘The people can hear you doing it outside!’”

‘People’ Magazine Names Chace Crawford The ‘Hottest Bachelor Of 2009’

People magazine has released its annual issue devoted to the Hottest Bachelors of the year and have made their selection for this year’s coverboy. You may recall that the mag named Mario Lopez as the Hottest Bachelor of 2008 … but this year, the honor goes to Chace Crawford. Chace has been deemed by People magazine as the Hottest Bachelor of 2009:


Chace Crawford talks to his parents every day, vacations with his younger sister and – unlike his Gossip Girl character – says dating a married woman is “a definite no.” Without question, success (he’ll star in the Footloose remake) couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. But what else is behind those blue eyes? PEOPLE’s Elizabeth Leonard and Jennifer Garcia found out. Here’s a sneak peek of the interview with PEOPLE’s Hottest Bachelor!


On his first kiss: “It was fifth grade. Her name was Kiley Smith and she was my best friend’s twin sister. It was one of those super-awkward things. We were at camp, on a lake, really picturesque – it¹s kind of seared into memory! We’re still friends.”

On a perfect date: “All you need is a pool table, beer, an electric jukebox and good conversation. The day a girl beats me in a game of Beirut [a kind of beer pong] is a good sign!”

On being single: “I’m not not looking for a girlfriend – but I’m not particularly looking for a girlfriend, either. I’m not knocking having a relationship; at the end of the day, you want to share with someone. But I just look at it as, I have the rest of my life to do that. I’m not in any rush.”

On dating Carrie Underwood: “I have nothing bad to say about that experience. It was awesome. I just didn’t know how to deal with it. I learned a ton about dating someone in that kind of spotlight. It was such a whirlwind, but no regrets.”

On the made-up gay rumors about him and co-star Ed Westwick: “You know what we really did the first time we heard it? Ed goes, ‘Oh, did you hear that rumor about us being gay?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, man.’ He starts laughing and we’re kind of like, ‘Okay, you want to go play pool and have a beer?’ “

To be honest, I thought for sure that British heartthrob Robert Pattinson was gonna get the nod from People magazine as the Hottest Bachelor of the Year. There ain’t a day that goes by that People doesn’t do a story or even a blurb about R. Pattz and his effect on his fans. He seemed the shoe-in choice for this year’s #1 Hottest Bachelor … but clearly I was wrong. That’s not to say that Chace Crawford isn’t a great pick … he’s deffo a much-in-demand hottie and is an excellent choice for Hottest Bachelor of 2009. But, Chace is not alone on this list of hawt bachelors. After the jump, check out some of the other single men who made this year’s list of Hottest Bachelors — yes, R. Pattz made the list as did a now openly gay celeb …


Robert Pattinson and Adam Lambert are joined on the list by other single hotties like Shia LaBeouf, Brody Jenner, Common, Chris Pine, Taylor Kitsch, Ryan Eggold, Kellan Lutz and more. It looks like People really covered all the bases again this year … but the full list of 2009’sm 45 Hottest Bachelors won’t be revealed until this new issue of People magazine hits newsstands later on this week. Did YOUR fave bachelor make the list this year? Is there anyone missing that YOU hope will be revealed when this new issue is released?

Hugh Hefner Can’t Tell Twin Girlfriends Apart


Hugh Hefner has confessed that he cannot tell his twin girlfriends- Karissa and Kristina Shannon- apart.

Speaking at the recent Playmate of the Year party at The Palms in Las Vegas, the 83-year-old Playboy publisher admitted that he still can’t differentiate between the 19-year-old blondes after several months of dating.

Lily Tomlin could have turned Lindsay Lohan gay

The first thing Kathy Griffin asked Lily Tomlin when she got her into bed on last night's My Life on the D-List was, "Did you turn Lindsay Lohan gay?"

Tomlin's response: "Ha ha ha! Actually, you know — maybe I did! I think she was sort of leaning, and, well, she probably admired my work so much, she thought that was the path to artistry."

It all started when Griffin shouted a D-List guest star invitation to Tomlin during the middle of one of her stand-up routines. Tomlin's initial response was to shield her eyes, look out in the audience and say, "No, I refuse to get on your sinking ship!"

But of course she did, because Lily Tomlin is nothing if not a good sport, and Kathy Griffin's ship certainly isn't sinking. (Unless God smites her during a freak thunderstorm, which, let's be honest, is entirely possible.)

New To ‘True Blood’? Here’s What You Need to Know

Photo: HBO

The second season of HBO’s vampire drama “True Blood” begins tonight, Sunday, June 14 and if you haven’t taken the time to get acquainted with the show to this point, but are interested in jumping in and not missing a moment of season two I felt it would be best to give you a quick initiation. I will be reviewing each season two episode every Sunday morning, so get the recap below, watch the episode each week and stay up-to-date as we move along.

“True Blood” is based on a world created by novelist Charlaine Harris and takes place in a real world setting in which vampires, shape shifters, werewolves and other unknown mythical entities are commonplace. Vampires ‘came out of the coffin’ two years prior and are attempting to integrate into society, but the divide between humans and vampires harkens back to the days of serious racial division. The term “True Blood” is connected with an artificial blood beverage vampires can drink instead of drinking the blood of humans.

The show is set in Bon Temps, Louisiana and centers on Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and her relationship with Bill (Stephen Moyer), a vampire. Sookie is living in her grandmother’s house who died in the first season at the hand of a man filled with rage toward those that show kindness to vampires. Her brother, Jason (Ryan Kwanten), is probably best described as the town slut and just about everyone he has sex with in the first season ends up dead, all at the hand of Rene Lenier, the same man that killed Jason and Sookie’s grandmother.

Sookie’s best friend is Tara (Rutina Wesley), a foul-mouthed and highly entertaining character who has serious anger management issues. However, both she and her mother have exorcisms at the hand of Miss Jeanette in the first season to get rid of the demons inside of them. Tara’s exorcism is to get rid of her anger while her mother’s is to rid her of her alcoholism. Both exorcisms appear to have worked, but Tara finds out late in the first season Miss Jeanette is a fraud working at the local pharmacy.

Tara’s cousin is named Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) and for most of the first season we are treated to his unique brand of comedy. Lafayette is something of a local drug dealer who also sells V, vampire blood, to Jason getting him addicted, not to mention giving him a raging erection due to an overdose (a fantastic first season moment). However, his desire for V, coupled with a bout of depression, takes him to an out of town vampire bar known as Fangtasia where he meets Amy (Lizzy Caplan). The two fall in love and ultimately abduct Lafayette’s V contact and in the end Amy kills him.

The death or disappearance of a vampire is something the vampire community takes very seriously and the Bon Temps territory is policed by Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) whose involvement in the first season is rather limited, but his character is one of the extreme highlights of any episode he is in.

A couple of other important characters include Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), who owns Merlotte’s bar and restaurant where Sookie, Tara and Lafayette all work. Sam’s bigger secret is the fact he is a shape-shifter. This secret is revealed late in the first season and has yet to play any major role in the series, but new secrets surround his character as a newcomer to town named Maryann (Michelle Forbes) and he have some kind of unknown connection that plays a large part in the second season.

Maryann, to put it mildly, is quite the wild card. She first appears as the savior of Tara who is jailed for drunk-driving after crashing her car as a result of briefly seeing Maryann naked in the middle of the road with a giant pig at her side (no joke). Obviously no one believes Tara saw what she says she saw and not even Tara remembers the scene well enough to know it was Maryann standing there. So, when Maryann bails Tara out of jail and offers her a place to stay she jumps at the opportunity considering the continually dysfunctional relationship she has with her mother who actually refused to post Tara’s bail.

Finally, there is Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), a vampire Bill turned as punishment for killing a vampire who was attempting to harm Sookie. Jessica’s role in the first season is small considering she only became a vampire in the tenth episode, but wasn’t seen as one until the eleventh. However, she plays a large part in the first four episodes of the second season and looks as if she may have a lot to do for some time to come.

So, those are the story details. If that doesn’t move you perhaps I can appeal to your more visual tastes.

The women in this show are extremely attractive and are featured in just about every scene. For the ladies in the audience the men are equally attractive and for all sides, there is plenty of skin on display. As a matter of fact, if nudity is your thing you won’t be disappointed, especially in the first four episodes of the second season.

If it isn’t sex that moves you perhaps gore is more to your liking. “True Blood” has a lot of it, and the second season proves to have even more. Hell, even the sex scenes include blood smeared faces and when a vampire cries… yup… blood.

I will admit the comedy takes a little getting used to and the characters are all over-exaggerated, but the more you watch the show the more these two qualities grow on you and eventually become your favorite parts of each episode. Tara’s mouth in particular is highly entertaining, just how she says lines like, “Woman’s got a voodoo bus out in the woods,” has me laughing every time. Lafayette is also equally entertaining in much the same way.

The first season of “True Blood” is only twelve episodes, but to say a lot is covered in those twelve hours would be an understatement. If after reading the above you would like to actually watch the first season that is easy enough as it is already available on DVD and Blu-ray. Get in quick, this show is only getting better as time goes on.

Below is the teaser trailer for the second season and you can read my review of tonight’s season two premiere episode, “Nothing But the Blood,” right here.

Fug Girls: Summer Heat Means Celebrity Meltdowns


Under close observation: Kristen Stewart, Drew Barrymore, and Megan Fox.

Ah, summer: 'Tis the season of Malibu beach houses, blockbusters in which at least one international landmark explodes, and skirts so short they almost don't exist. It's also traditionally when celebrities go completely off the rails. (Remember the summer of Nicole Richie's DUI, Paris's slammer time, and Lindsay's coke pants? It was a veritable open bar of drama.) At least, that's how it used to be; these days, all is quiet on the West Coast front. Too quiet. But far from thinking every star in Hollywood has forsaken mug shots for paparazzi photos of their bikini bodies, we actually fear this is the calm before the storm. We're overdue for a tabloid train wreck, and we've got a short watch list of troubled Tinseltown souls we're afraid might step up to the plate.

Megan Fox: Her rampant verbal diarrhea — from tarring all of Middle America as white-trash homophobes to a lengthy discourse on how High School Musical has a molestation subtext you must be stoned to understand — has even her admitting she's ill-prepared to be famous. In the same breath she noted she may well be headed down Lohan Street and straight to Crazy Plaza. We're not sure you can be a true train-wreck if you can see your crash coming a mile away, but we're flipping on the warning siren anyway.

The Twilight Cast: Frankly, half of them could blow at any moment. Robert Pattinson wears a permanently frightened expression, possibly because a cabal of teen girls has taken up residence in the bushes in front of his house waiting for the right moment to propose; ditto Kristin Stewart, except those girls are more likely to try and shank her. Who wouldn’t crack under that pressure? We just hope new cast member and famed good girl Dakota Fanning is a calming and responsible presence, and that photos of her hitting the town with Stewart are innocuous. Because if she gets sucked into the vortex, we’re giving up and crying into a carton of Ben and Jerry's.

Britney Spears: The last time Britney went on tour and dated someone in her inner circle, it got her in trouble. Now, not only is she on the road again and allegedly dating her agent, but she's presumably back to nonstop workouts to get the kind of washboard abs that make our laundry piles whimper. We fear it's a recipe for a relapse: Yes, you'd think her agent, who makes a living off her, would have a vested interest in keeping her on track — but then again, you'd think K-Fed would've had that same interest, and look where that got her.

Lindsay Lohan: The echoes of Lindsay's past are eerie, too. She's mired in relationship drama, she appears to weigh approximately ninety pounds soaking wet and in steel-toed boots, and the lady doth protest too much that everything is awesome. All that's missing is her mother bleating about how Lilo’s just blowing off steam — but of course, her mother appears to be missing, period. We'd like nothing more than for Linds to keep it pulled together, but we're nervous that the conductor hopped off this train three stops ago.

Shia LeBeouf: In this week’s Parade, Shia admits he’s “an alcoholic” and says that his sense of humor stems from “watching [his] parents having sex" — this just a month after telling Playboy that he would be dating his mother now if she weren't his mother. Considering the kid already has a DUI under his belt, we’re just crossing our fingers that Oedipus, Jr., will act out no further than this episode of extreme TMI.

Amanda Bynes: Other than a raft of online image galleries labeled "Amanda Leaves [Hollywood club du jour] Looking The Worse For Wear," we have no real gossip causing us to fear a Bynes breakdown. But we are a little worried that the once-winsome starlet has nothing better to do than get self-tanned by day and bleary-eyed — in a series of increasingly tiny dresses — by night. That didn't work out so well for Paris Hilton.

Kevin Federline: He's become so beside the point these days that even bravely gaining about three hundred pounds yielded him zero press. Where is his sensitive People cover on which he proclaims that he is proud of his curves? What more does this guy need to do to get attention — have his own talk show? Wait, never mind.

Drew Barrymore: We’re sure Drew’s substance abuse problems remain firmly in her past, but have you seen what she’s been wearing lately? It’s like a parade of American Apparel’s Most Awkward Moments. Her wardrobe breakdown is shaping up to be worse than some people’s actual breakdowns, and we’re scared.

Spencer Pratt: We’d actually bet money that America’s most loathed reality personality is twenty minutes away from developing a serious addiction to something — anything — so he can finagle a spot on Celebrity Rehab.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Rather than doing it for the headlines, we've decided America's favorite lifestyle guru is going to hit the sauce like a nursing infant just so she can craft a poignant newsletter recommending the nation's best rehab centers. It's the very special episode of GOOP you won't want to miss.

Queen Latifah was raped as a child


You would thing that nothing bad could ever happen to a queen. But think again!
Queen Latifah for example had a very painful experience when she was just a child. For the first time Latifah opened up about the fact that she was a victim of sexual abuse when she was a child. She said that teenage babysitter raped her.
"He violated me. I never told anybody. I just buried it as deeply as I could and kept people at an arms length. I never really let a person get too close to me. I could have been married years ago, but I had a commitment issue," the 39 years rapper and actress declared for Essence.

Constantine Maroulis Loses, Performs at 63rd Tony Awards

Former American Idol finalist, Constantine Maroulis, was nominated in the “Best Performance By a Lead Actor in a Musical” category at the 63rd Annual Tony Awards last night but, unfortunately, lost out to the three actors from Billy Elliot. Still, I’m so impressed that he was nominated at all!

Looking at his performance with his Rock of Ages cast mates, it is amazing to see how far he has come. He has so much more control over his voice, he’s got less vibrato and I’m telling you that it’s really hard to run around a stage and still sound coherent. I’m so happy for him. Watch and enjoy!

Jessica, Cash and Honor’s Santa Monica Pier Outing

On Saturday (June 6), Jessica Alba, Cash Warren and Honor Marie had a family outing at the Santa Monica Pier. They went to breakfast on Main Street and then took Honor to a kid’s birthday party.

June 7th was Honor’s first birthday. What was the plan for her special day? Jessica said, “I’m going to bake a cake that she can eat and put all over her face!” Although she may have to postpone that day because of ehr filming schedule, “I was thinking about having it after her birthday,” said Jessica. “Just a little brunch with her friends from music class.”

Cash, Honor and Jessica were all seen at LAX airport on Honor’s birthday.
