CELEBRITY LIVES CAN MAKE ANYONE'S HEAD SPIN...

Courtney Love inspires Whitney Houston NOT to quit a minute before the miracle?!!

Could the bad girl rocker be the sponsor and inspiration behind Whitney's about face? According to Perez Hilton, "Courtney Love has been to hell and back and the rock legend is using her survivor status to help fellow embattled singer Whitney Houston. Courtney and Whitney have forged a new friendship and it is with the help of Kurt Cobain's widow and Bobby Brown's soon-to-be former wife kicked drugs (as reported in this week's Us Weekly)."

Wow, do we want this item to be TRUE. One day at a time, girls. The highest high is in helping others, just ask Angelina!

Things are never what they seem...The coroner in the case of Anna Nicole Smith's tragic son Daniel got a pink slip yesterday, and it looks unlikely that a coroner's inquest will EVER be convened. According to today's NY POST, the spin offered by the Bahama's Chief Judge Roger Gomez goes something like this: "Partly because of the Anna Nicole Smith case, a number of persons have complained to the court how this case is being heard in such a short period of time (Oct 23). We are trying to get rid of a backlog." The Chief Judge seems to be challenging his fired coroner's initial findings, saying: "So far they (Anna Nicole's own pathologist Cyril Wecht, et al) have not been able to determine a cause of death. If the reports state it's natural causes, there will be no need for an inquest."

Celebrities are different than you & me. They can: (a) get justice quicker than anyone else, (2) delay justice indefinitely, (3) escape justice totally. Who knows what really cause young Daniel's death. Some theories: he took a combination of legally prescribed and over-the-counter drugs that were lethal, it was an undiagnosed heart problem or aneurysm. A young man dies in a hospital room while visiting his mother and is discovered when it's too late. Fact is stranger than fiction. There are reports that Anna Nicole is sedated most of the time, but in her waking moments, she keeps repeating: "I can't believe my baby's gone." No matter what one thinks of the public Anna Nicole, deepest, heartfelt condolences go out to the mother on the loss of her precious son.

Liz Taylor gives the middle finger to old age & poor health! According to the British tabloid, the Daily Mail, the 8 times married 74-year old movie legend and perfume tycoon left her wheelchair and "donned a mask and snorkel, and plunged feet first into the Pacific Ocean for a shark-viewing expedition. Later describing the experience as the 'most exciting thing' she's ever done." Never-say-die Elizabeth gamely went into a lO ft. x 6 ft. Plexiglas cage and was lowered into shark infested waters.

In this youth besotted culture, never ever count a feisty old broad out. Some people see challenges as stumbling blocks, while others see them as stepping stones. It's never too late or too early to make your choice and own your dream.
