Tatum O’Neal’s dog groomer has come along to confirm that Tatum did, in fact, love her dog, and also to defend Tatum saying that her doggy’s death was the reason for her attempted cocaine buying escapades earlier this week.
This may seem like a bunch of stupid nonsense from one deluded twit about another deluded twit who used her dead dog as a deluded, twitty excuse to buy drugs, but it’s not.
We forget why, though…
Legendary actor Charlton Heston has died, aged 84.
The Oscar-winning actor had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. A family spokesman said he passed away on Saturday night at his home in Beverley Hills, California.
During his career, the actor, famed for his muscular build and booming baritone voice, won an Oscar for his role In Ben Hur, let rip at a bunch of monkeys for destroying the Statue of Liberty ‘You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!’.
He raised a rod over his head as Moses in The Ten Commandments and parted the Red Sea, and was seen controversially mimicking the Moses-pose in Michael Moore’s Bowling For Colombine, this time as President of the NRA, challenging any detractors of his to pry the rifle “from my cold, dead hands”.
You never know when you'll die, but we have a feeling that we'll be around for a few more years thanks to our lack of illegitimate love children.
Because, without an illegitimate love child there'll be nobody around to contest our will and heap even more emotional suffering on our already distraught loved ones. And that's as big a part of death as toe-tags and scratching on the inside of your coffin at your own funeral.
Luckily though, Heath Ledger was ready for death because if reports are to be believed, Heath Ledger fathered an illegitimate love child when he was 17. Now, finally, perhaps people can start gracelessly squabbling over Heath's estate in a way that's uncomfortable to watch. About time too, if you ask us.
Sometimes you've just got to stop and take stock.
If a Formula One driver tutted and shook his head at you as you sped through a housing estate, for example, you'd probably think it a wise move to step off the accelerator. On a similar note, if Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards - a man who has ingested more drugs than six generations of lab monkeys - told you that you were dabbling in the ol' excess a bit too much, you'd give serious thought to putting the crackpipe down.
It remains to be seen whether Amy Winehouse will curb her naughty druggy activities, however. Keith Richards, you see, has revealed that - while Amy is the only modern pop star he actually admires - she'll more than likely be pushing up the daisies before too long unless she gives those narcotics a rest.
The term 'fifth Beatle' gets thrown around a lot - some say it was George Martin, some say it was Stuart Sutcliffe, some say it was Brian Epstein - but what about Maharishi Mahesh Yogi?
After all, it was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who introduced The Beatles to Transcendental Meditation and is therefore responsible for that rubbish George Harrison song on Sgt Pepper that everyone skips. Is Maharishi Mahesh Yogi the fifth Beatle, or even the sixth Beatle, or the 18th Beatle?
No. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is none of these things. Because he's just died.

The popular TV presenter passed away on Wednesday after being admitted to hospital last week with pneumonia.
