In tragic news, Marie Osmond’s 18 year old son, Michael Biosil, has committed suicide. Biosil ended his life by jumping off his apartment building. Donny Osmond stated on ET that the news was true and this sad statement:
“My family and I are devastated and in deep shock by the tragic loss of our dear Michael and ask that everyone respect our privacy during this difficult time.”
Michael left a death letter saying he could just not hold the depression in anymore. He did not ever feel like he fit in. It’s so sad that people still like for granted. The Osmonds seem like great people. My prayers go out to them. We have had two suicides now this week from people who have it made for themselves whose parents I’m sure wh have given it their all to their kids.
Yep, Hollywood is doing it again. They are ruining a classic from the 80′s that we all enjoyed and making it a High School Musical movie. The film Teen Witch will be starring Ashley Tisdale, which will help butcher the film. Tisdale gave details about the producers wanting it to be more of a musical than a film.
The original stared Robyn Lively, who played a Teenage Witch named Louise. Louise then used her powers to gain popularity at her school, but in the mean time forgot who her original friends are. Yes, it was a cheesy high school movie, but we all loved it. Now it will be thrown in the trash, just like the new Footloose will be.
These young actors need to realize that remaking these films will just make them more hated. I will not respect Ashley Tisdale for butchering a film, and I will not respect the butchering of Footlose. The films will most likely flop. Look how terrible the Karate Kid looks now that Will Smith’s son and Jackie Chan are killing it.
Last nights win in the females’ Hockey left fans with excitement, and the world with mouth’s dropped. Canada did something that we usually wait to do when we get home our out of the venue area. The female hockey team won against US, they decided to grab a cigar and crack a beer and celebrate on the hockey rink. People were so upset that Canada would do this, but hey, good for them.
We all know that those ladies would of been going out and drinking and celebrating afterwards, why not include the people and see them happy while celebrating. The International Olympic Committee has the normal stick up their butts, and are wasting time by stating they will be looking into it. Would the Olympic Committee really strip them of their medals for early celebration?
Death of Growing Pains’ co-star, Andrew Koenig, has truly hit star Kirk Cameron. He has asked for sensitivity as he mourns the death of his friend. Kirk Cameron stated:
“It is with great sorrow to hear about the final outcome of the search for my old friend Andrew. I hope everyone will be sensitive to the Koenigs and give the family some private time to reflect and to grieve the loss of their beloved son,” Cameron tells PEOPLE. “At a time like this, we all are reminded of the briefness of life and the importance of being ready for our eternal destination. My prayers will continue to be with Andrew’s family.”

Unfortunately, Koenig decided to take his own life. Koenig’s body was found in Stanley Park and his dad, Walter Koenig(Star Trek), told reporters that his soon took his own life.
All the signs were there when they found that Andrew cleared out his LA apartment three weeks ago. Friends stated he started to sell his stuff and then started to give it all away. Big sign. His father said in a statement to everyone who is thinking about killing themselves, “Please talk to some body, there are people out there who care.”

After taking sixth place in his skating, Johnny Weir showed great sportmanship as he saw his low scores come strolling out. Some were wondering if this was because of his open sexuality, but the judges deny those alligations and I agree. Now what I think is terrible is that two of the Canadian broadcasters mocked Johnny Weir’s sexuality while he was performing. They stated:
“This may not be politically correct, but do you think he lost points due to his costume and his body language?” Alain Goldberg responded saying Weir’s femininity may reflect poorly on other male figure skaters. “They’ll think all the boys who skate will end up like him. It sets a bad example.” Goldberg is also quoted as saying, “We should make him [Weir] pass a gender test at this point,” and Mailhot then joking that Weir should compete in the women’s competition.
Johnny Weir then held a very good press conference, and again showed great sportmanship in this situation. Entertainment Weekly posted the interview:
Johnny Weir held a press conference Wednesday in Vancouver to address remarks made by two veteran sports commentators during the Olympics who suggested that his fabulousness (our word) is a bad example of, and for, male figure skaters and joked that he should undergo a gender test. [The comments] have a Quebec gay rights group contemplating filing a complaint with the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council.
Weir began by joking that he grew stubble for the press conference to show that he’s a man, but his tone quickly got serious. He’s not asking for an apology. He says he believes in free speech and wouldn’t want these men fired for expressing their opinion. (“I’ve heard worse in bathrooms and whatnot about me,” he quipped.) He just wants them to think before they speak — and to imagine the damage they could do to people like him and to generations of children whose parents may not give them the same freedom and support his did if they think their child will only be ridiculed for being who he or she is.
“I would challenge anyone to question my upbringing and question my parents’ ideals and feelings about bringing up me and my brother, who’s completely different from me but taught very much the same way that I was,” Weir said. (The conviction in his voice during that statement had to have made his parents as proud as any medal he could’ve won.)
There’s a reason he’s calling attention to the situation: “Even my gender has been questioned. I want that to be public because I don’t want 50 years from now more young boys and girls to have to go through this sort of thing and to have their whole life basically questioned for no reason other than to make a joke and to make people watch their television program,” he said.
He summed up his message — ”I hope more kids can grow up the same way that I did and more kids can feel the freedom that I feel to be themselves and to express themselves” — and his belief that the concepts of masculinity and femininity are old-fashioned. “There’s a whole generation of people that aren’t defined by their sex or their race or by who they like to sleep with. I think as a person you know what your values are and what you believe in, and I think that’s the most important thing.”
How do you think Weir handled the controversy? I say beautifully. For once, the focus went beyond the superficial “You can’t say that on TV!” headlines to make the media stop and examine the meaning and effect of what was said. Weir understands it’s not just children who have to have self-confidence, but also their parents. If Weir speaks in high schools after the Olympics — and he should — I hope parents are encouraged to come to the assembly. I think his controlled, articulate passion might actually reach them.
It is a shame that these two men made comments like that to Johnny Weir. In my eyes Weir is more than a man then those two are. He seems to be very understanding of the world around him, and I too Johnny agree that I hope some day people will be more accepting. Every person hopes one day their kids will grow up in a better place, but it will not happen with all this hatred this world has due to sexuality, race, and religion.
