“We apologize for the error in last week’s paper in which we stated that Mr. Arnold Dogbody was a defective in the police force. We meant, of course, that Mr. Dogbody is a detective in the police farce.”

-Correction notice in the Ely Standard, a British newspaper

Born on this day:

1971 - Mariah Carey (37), singer

“I’m eternally 12. And that 12-year-old inside me is an eternal optimist. Honestly, I don’t even have birthdays. I call them anniversaries. It really is about how young you feel. Some people convince themselves they are old, or they think, ‘I have to grow up now. I will still always choose a day at Disney World over a night in Las Vegas. That’s who I am”. the singer told Contactmusic.

1963 - Quentin Tarantino (45), director
1963 - Xuxa (45): Maria da Graca Meneghe, actress and TV Host
1962 - Kevin J. Anderson (46), writer
1960 - Jennifer Grey (48), actress: Dirty Dancing

Born on this day:

Aretha Franklin - 1942. When she was born her mama told her she’s the real Queen, not that rock and roll singer, Tina.

Elton John - 1947. I wonder what was he like in childhood. I bet he wished all sorts of colorful glasses for his birthday! I for one, love his music!

Marcia Gross - 1962. The Desperate Housewives star is turning 46 years old today.

Sarah Jessica Parker - 1965. Was she the cutest kid from her block? Cause now she is like the most unattractive woman alive.

Jason Castro - 1987. He’s so young. And he made it to American Idol.

Katharine McPhee - 1984. She made it to finalists on the fifth season of American Idol.

This day is important because an American serial killer Gerard John Schaefer, was born.

He’s been linked to around 30 missing women and girls and has been condemned for two life sentences. Unfortunately for him, he was killed by his cell colleague, Vincent Rivera. Vincent didn’t want to tell the motive for stabbing Gerard and was sentenced to 53 more years in prison that were added to his 20 years he was already doing for double murder. And the rest is history! I guess that this guy was a muse for many script writers.

Jason Rae, age 31, hubby of Corrine Bailey Rae was found dead Saturday, at his home in Leeds, England. The cause of death appears to be a drug overdose. Friends knew about his substance abuse and say he struggled with his addiction for years.

Corrine is devastated. She was always talking about how fortunate she is for having found the love of her life so soon. The two got married in 2001 and soon after that Corrine’s music career took off. Jason was saxophonist with the group the Haggis Horns.

Here is a part of the West Yorkshire Police statement:

“Police were called to a flat in the Hyde Park area of Leeds - where they found the body of a 31-year-old man. A 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs. He is now on police bail pending further enquiries.”

Bailey Rae’s record label EMI said in a statement:

“EMI Records would like to offer its sincere condolences to Corinne Bailey Rae and the Rae family at this tragic time. We ask that the media respects Corinne’s privacy and that of her entire family.”

I guess it’s pretty stupid to say “I’m sorry for your loss” when someone you loved with all your heart is gone.

Good luck to you Corrine! You’re a wonderful singer. Hang in there!

“I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don’t always agree with them.”

I guess each and every one of you have a list of things you hate. Here is my list:

10. Guys wearing dark sunglasses at night while dancing in clubs.

Why do you need dark sunglasses while dancing? Why do you need sunglasses in clubs? I just don’t get it! You’re cooler if you’re wearing black glasses and nobody can see your eyes?!

This has got to be one of the best movie ads I’ve seen in the last few months. I’m not a fan of soap operas but I guess there are plenty of people out there just waiting for a new episode.

What were you doing when you were 17 months old? This little angel can read. She’s not speaking very well but she can read!

Valentina Hasan, the Bulgarian Mariah Carey has improved her English skills! But I guess she’ll remain famous for her “Ken Leeee” version of the song!

That was supposed to be Bad from Michael Jackson. The guy just sucks!

And this was supposed to be “Without you” from Mariah Carey, also called “Ken Lee”, sang by the Bulgarian Mariah Carey wannabe!
