• Cosmic First: Philae Lander Touches Down on Comet But Harpoons Are Not Properly Secured to Surface

    A European spacecraft robot named Philae made history today as the 220-pound lander successfully touched down on the surface of a comet, as both hurled through space at 41,000 mph. Philae had separated from Rosetta, the mothership, and researchers spent seven extremely tense hours waiting for a signal indicating that Philae had reached its destination. The European Space Agency's celebration was short-lived, though, as it became apparent that there might be a problem with the landing.The plan was for Philae to gently set itself down on to the comet's uncertain surface and fire two harpoons into it, securing the lander so it could successfully complete a variety of scientific experiments.

  • Randy Spelling Lives a Normal Life, Isn't Very Close to His Attention-Seeking Sister Tori

    While Tori Spelling has managed to keep herself working in the entertainment industry, one way or another, her younger brother has taken a completely different path in his adult life.Randy Spelling did an interview recently for Oprah: Where Are They Now?, and it seems he has really embraced a more normal lifestyle. While Randy was raised in a 123-room mansion known as Spelling Manor, his scaled-back, normal life in Portland, Oregon, seems to suit him just fine these days.Randy explained to Oprah:"My life is really different from how I grew up. It's definitely more quiet and more simple. I am a husband, I'm a father of two amazing girls. We do a lot of cooking. I mean, 90 percent of the food that we eat is all home-cooked. Would it have been nice to have been left a whole lot of money? Yes, things happen the way they need to, and my life right now might look very different if I had $10 million sitting in the bank. So, I had to get my wings burned a little bit and fall to learn how to just live rather normally."He also works as a popular life coach, which is more than a little ironic considering his sister's need for drama and chaos. Randy appears to be the more fully evolved of the two, and while he explains that he and Tori are not as close as he would like them to be, he manages not to say an even slightly negative thing about her. Randy simply points out that his sister is juggling four kids, a husband and a career in the spotlight and how it is a lot for her to handle.

  • Khloé Kardashian Incites Social Media Controversy for Posting 'KKK' Joke on Instagram

    When Khloé Kardashian posted a meme to her Instagram account Tuesday, Nov. 11, we have to wonder what she was thinking. The image featured Khloé with her sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian all wearing white. It was captioned, "The only KKK ever to let black men in," and Khloé's comment was one word: "True."That is all it took to light up a debate that is still growing strong today. Making any comparison or reference to the Ku Klux Klan, an extremist white supremacist group, is thought to be in really bad taste.Khloé's post grabbed more than 405,000 likes and 26,000 comments in only two hours. While many of her supporters suggested that people just lighten up a little and see the humor in the actual reference, an equal number were offended by the comment. Many people believe the KKK never belongs as a punchline in any joke. Others totally got the fact that both Khloé and Kim have caught heat for only dating dark-skinned men.

  • Scott Peterson's Mistress Amber Frey Has Reportedly Never Gotten Her Life Together After Testifying Against Him

    It has been a long time since we have heard the name "Amber Frey." It may ring a distant bell for many because she was Scott Peterson's mistress. On Christmas Eve 2002, Peterson's pregnant wife Laci went missing in a case that dominated national headlines. Frey came forward pretty quickly once Peterson's face was plastered all over the place because she had been seeing him on the side. At the time Frey had no idea he was married or expecting a child, but went to police pretty quickly. It was eventually her testimony that helped prosecutors to not only convict Peterson in the murders of his wife and unborn son, but also to secure the death penalty against him.At the time of Peterson's 2004 conviction, Frey was a single mother working as a massage therapist, and so she decided to write a book about her side of the nightmare. While it landed on the bestseller list, Frey's life did not improve as one might have hoped. She is currently 38 and raising two children on her own. In a recent exclusive with Radar Online, her father, Ron Frey, claims his daughter has never been the same after dating Peterson.

  • 'Love & Hip Hop Hollywood's' Nia Riley Splits from Soulja Boy, Who Has Been Spotted with Karrine Steffans

    It looks like another couple from "Love & Hip Hop Hollywood" has bit the dust. After years of an on/off relationship, Nia Riley has finally gotten tired of trying to convince Soulja Boy to commit. Rumors of a split started circulating last week, and after Soulja posted a photo of himself with former fling Karrine Steffans online, Riley stepped up to confirm the breakup. Obviously this is one of those couples who flip-flops a lot, but maybe they are better off apart. Generally, if you spend years debating whether or not a relationship can work, that is your biggest sign that it is probably not going to.Ironically, on the last episode of "LHHH," Riley was getting ready to move in with Soulja but he found an excuse to postpone it. He was about to venture out on a two-week tour and he claimed not to want Riley in his house alone without security. He claimed it was a security issue and not a case of cold feet. We have to wonder about that now that we know they have split just a few months after the filming of that scene.

  • NBC Honchos Divided Over Whether or Not to Fire Dr. Nancy Snyderman for Breaking Ebola Quarantine

    Up until recently, Dr. Nancy Snyderman was heralded as one of the top medical staffers employed by NBC. The network sent her to cover the Ebola virus in West Africa because viewers had come to trust her judgment, so it made sense for her to be one of the leaders when it came to educating NBC's audience.When Snyderman and her team returned, she claimed they were going to voluntarily quarantine themselves for 21 days just to be extra careful, said the "Hopewell Valley News." When Snyderman was spotted out grabbing take-out less than a week later in New Jersey, said the "Princeton Packet," the fallout was pretty explosive, and now weeks later the network's honchos are divided over whether or not to fire her for breaking her Ebola quarantine.At first NBC announced that Snyderman and her team would be given a few extra weeks off and return in November. Execs were hoping that a bit of time off would put distance between Snyderman and the scandal that had surrounded her.

  • Jennifer Aniston Covers 'Harper's Bazaar', Gushes About Justin Theroux and Ignores the Tabloid Rumors

  • Victoria's Secret Has Renamed 'The Perfect Body' Campaign After Consumer Backlash

    At first it seemed like more of the same when Victoria's Secret dropped their most recent campaign. There was the typical lineup of thin models posing in the company's latest styles, but something about this was different. The company had decided to scrawl across its newest ads the phrase "The Perfect Body," and that was probably the biggest mistake it has made in decades.Instantly, the company started to face consumer backlash from women who are not a Size 2, according to the "New York Post," and are fine with that. The feeling was that Victoria's Secret was sending the message that if you are not stick-thin, then there is something wrong with you, and it turned into a notion it had to correct — quickly.Three British college students began a petition on change.org that currently has more than 30,000 signatures.

  • 'The Young & the Restless' Hopes That Charles Pratt Jr. Can Balance Out the Devastation Caused by Showrunner Jill Farren Phelps

    It has been rumored for months now that Charles "Chuck" Pratt Jr. had taken over the head writing duties on "The Young & the Restless," but there was no official confirmation until yesterday, when the show tweeted the news. Pratt is also now taking on the role of executive co-producer, which means he will be working closely with showrunner Jill Farren Phelps.The two have teamed up in the past on other daytime shows, such as "General Hospital" and "Santa Barbara," and while Phelps is technically still in charge, fans are hoping Pratt will balance out some of her harsh decisions.In the last year, "Y&R" has been hit with a boatload of controversy, making what was brewing behind the scenes a whole lot worse than anything they could have written for the fictional town of Genoa City. Phelps came to the show with the reputation of being a "soap killer" and it is more than a little interesting how, more often than not, after she leaves a show it ends up being canceled within a year or two. Phelps has an edgy kind of storytelling that often ignores the history of the characters on whatever show she is connected to, and that never sits well with longtime fans.

  • Hallucinations from Parkinson's Medication Likely Contributed to Robin Williams's Suicide

    Three months after Robin Williams committed suicide, we are learning much more about what likely caused him to take such drastic measures. His autopsy results were released to the public last week, and they revealed that the actor had no alcohol or illegal drugs in his system at the time of his death. There was originally intense speculation that Williams had fallen off the wagon in his final days after years of sobriety. His wife Susan Schneider later attributed his depression to a recent diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease.According to a report by TMZ, Williams had also been suffering from Lewy Body Dementia, a condition commonly affiliated with Parkinson's. People with both conditions often have severe side effects to the necessary medication and hallucinations are common. Patients may see phantom people, animals or objects, and they often try to converse with the hallucinations.

  • Dr. Craig Spencer Leaving Bellevue Hospital Today After Being Declared Ebola-Free

    On Oct. 23, Dr. Craig Spencer was confirmed to have contracted the often-deadly Ebola virus. He had just returned to New York City after treating patients in Guinea for Doctors Without Borders and, upon spiking a fever, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital.

A spokeswoman for Bellevue did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
