Michael Lohan Admits He Should Be Dead

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 4th, 2012

RadarOnline reports that Michael Lohan admits he should be dead by now. He’s not saying he necessarily deserves to be dead – more like he has cheated death.

“I don’t know what God has in store for me, but it must be BIG. I should have been dead 5 times already,” Michael exclusively told RadarOnline.

However, Lohan Sr. is back in a court ordered rehab facility, and he thinks things are looking up.

“It’s by far the best treatment facility I have ever worked with or have been to,” he said about A New Day treatment center in North Palm Beach, Fl.  “A little while longer and the blood clot would have taken me out.”

The Lohans are an amazing bunch. Although they act recklessly, they just keep avoiding death. Impressive!

Comedian Patrice O’Neal Dead at 41

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 29th, 2011

When everyone was making fun of his health during the Charlie Sheen roast back in October, no one expected his health to take his life so quickly.

41 year old Comedian Patrice O’Neal passed away today after suffering a stroke in October, The New York Daily News says.

O’Neal began his career in Boston and rose to fame with “The Opie and Anthony Show”. He also made numourous appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and The Ellen Degeneres Show, not to mention countless comedy specials on HBO.

O’Neal was definitely a hit at the Charlie Sheen roast back in October. Unfortunately, those in attendence began to shift the roasting on to O’Neal, which displeased a lot of his fans because shortly after the episode aired, he suffered a stroke.

Mike Tyson took a jab at O’Neal during the Comedy Network special, saying “Patrice has always been destined for stardom, and diabetes. So tonight is not just the roast of Charlie Sheen, its’ also a farewell party for Patrice’s foot.”

No word from Tyson yet on the wake of O’Neal’s death. I’m sure as the day goes on, many celebrities and fans will pay their respects to such an outrageous comedien.

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 14th, 2011

In an interview airing today on Ellen, Jon Cryer explains that he thought Charlie Sheen was going to die.

“Mostly I was worried that Charlie was going to die,” Cryer says. “That was the big fear for me.”

“And that…that did not occur and I’m thrilled about that,” Cryer says.

Ellen DeGeneres asks a question, “Now when he said bad things about you, you were so gracious. You were great. You didn’t say anything back. Since then, he has apologized.  Have you spoken to him since?”

“We have not spoken,” Cryer replies. “And I will accept an apology both public and private. But again, it was in the heat of the moment I imagine when he said…So I did not put a whole lot of credence in it at the time.”

“It’s an insurance policy,” he tells the mag. “If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. If it does work, I’ll be happy. If it’s possible, and I think it will be, why not have a second crack? Does that sound crazy? I think it’s a good idea.”

And that’s not all. Simon also has had the same breakfast everyday for five years of; Hot water with lemon, then papaya juice with lime, then oatmeal, then tea, then three different smoothies: a spinach smoothie, an antioxidant smoothie and a super smoothie with seven fruits.

He’s a weird guy. But whatever he’s doing seems to be working for him.

The toxicology report shows that Amy Winehouse wasn’t using illegal drugs when she died? But what about prescription drugs?

TMZ reports the family isn’t commenting on prescription drugs. However they do acknowledge she was drinking.

Quite possible if Amy mixed the wrong medication with alcohol, that could have killed her…

Sean Kingston with andPOP's Dan Busheikin and Iyaz - August 2009

You think after nearly dying on a jet ski, Sean Kinston would take a break from the dangerous machines. However, Kingston insists that he will get another one soon.

Talking to Ryan Seacrest, Kingston said, “I’m gonna go on another jet-ski… I was new to the area; I had just moved to the island and I didn’t know about the tides, I didn’t know about anything like that. It happened to me because I chose to ride around in that area, but there’s so much water that I could have chosen to ride around on.”

Well – at least the guy has a hobby.

Amy Winehouse Was a Hanson Fan

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 17th, 2011

It turns out that Amy Winehouse was inspired to get into music by the band Hanson.

Isaac Hanson, the oldest of the brothers, only learned this recently and was touched by the news.

He tells WENN, ”It is tragic to see people not be able to fully deal with that inner turmoil, which unfortunately, most artists, including myself, have. You have this tortured element within you and you’re throwing yourself out there emotionally.

“God rest her soul. I feel so bad for her that she was not able to reconcile whatever was going on inside her… It sounds like there were so many lovely, lovely elements of who she was and unfortunately there were some darker elements that clearly got the better of her.

“I didn’t know that she was a fan.”

Bieber Ex-Girlfriend Jasmine Villegas Gets Restraining Order

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 7th, 2011

It’s hard being the girlfriend of a major league celebrity as chances are, you will have someone trying to kill you.

Bieber’s ex-girlfriend Jasmine Villegas is having that exact problem. Although she is no longer dating JB, she still has death threats. Including a 33 year old dude named Steven Cintron.

A judge has issued a restraining order against Cintron which requires him to stay at least 100 yards from Jasmine and her family until a hearing this month.

According to TMZ, Cintron was posting videos on YouTube threatening to kill her. She claims, “In a couple of the videos, he has appeared holding deadly weapons, i.e. a gun, machete knives stating that he was going to find me, rape me, and kill me.”

She also claims Cintron sent her a Tweet saying, ”You’re dead Jasmine. I swear to God I’m going to kill you. I will blow your f**king head off, b**ch.”

What kind of 33 year old psycho has time to stalk a 17 year old singer. And why does he want to kill her so bad?

Rose Kills Charlie Harper on Two and a Half Men

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 6th, 2011

Okay – the secret might be out about Charlie Harper’s death on Two and a Half Men. The crew at TMZ are claiming they have been tipped off on how it goes down.

During the last season, Charlie goes to Paris with friendly neighborhood stalker Rose. However during the trip, Rose finds Charlie in the shower with another woman.

During the funeral scene taped yesterday, Rose recounts the next day following the shower incident, where she and Charlie were waiting for a subway, and Charlie “tripped” onto the tracks, and the subway literally blew him apart in a “meat explosion.”

Of course, what really happened is Rose pushed him onto the tracks.

If this is indeed the ending, it’s just okay. We think there are much funnier endings to Charlie’s life.

Was Amy Winehouse Addicted to Crack?

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 4th, 2011

It’s the age old question – “Can you trust a drug dealer?” Well assuming you trust a drug dealer, then you must believe Amy Winehouse was also addicted to crack.

A drug dealer has come forward claiming Amy begged him for crack and heroin, hours before her death, reports The Daily Mirror.

Tony Azzopardi told the UK newspaper that on July 22 he took Amy to another drug dealer who sold her $2,000 for half an ounce of crack and half ounce of heroin.

Police said they found no evidence of drug use and her parents believe alcohol withdrawal caused her death.

Either way, can’t Tony the drug dealer be arrested? The man is coming forward and admitting to being a drug dealer. Isn’t that basis for an arrest? Publicly admitting to being a drug dealer doesn’t seem like the smartest move.
