Kevin Jonas recently went on the Jonas Brothers’ official MySpace page to thank his fans for all of the birthday messages that he received. He said “Hey everyone! Kevin here. Still can’t believe I just turned 21 years old. Just wanted to thank everyone for all of the comments, messages, etc. You helped make this one of the best days ever. We were busy all day filming our new show so everyone showed up at the set and sang Happy Birthday. Then a friend let me use his car (a Lamborghini) for the day. It was so much fun to drive it. Although it is great…I still love my Tahoe Hybrid! Had fun all day with friends and family. But one of the best things was reading all the comments you left. Thanks again.”
They are only four months old but Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s twins are showing off and mommy Angelina is just so proud of their emerging personalities she could not help but talk about them during the co-launch of the “Secrets of the Furious Five” and “Kung-Fu Panda” DVD at the Grauman Chinese Theater last Sunday.
Jolie said her twins Knox and Vivienne may still be little but she can already see hints of their individual personalities. Photos of the twins appeared in the cover and pages of People Magazine when they were still a few weeks’ old reportedly for a whooping $15 million. Well, that is personality! She said her other children are so proud to have their very own mama Tigress and she is sure that the movie “Kung-Fu Panda” has brought a lot of joy not only to her children but to other children as well.
Singer Melissa Etheridge is in the news once again not for her new shows but for her threat to boycott payment of her California taxes in view of the passage of Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment that reverse the present law legalizing same sex marriages more popualrly known as gay and lesbian marriages. Melissa is married to Tammy Lynn Michaels but with the reversal of the law she is now at a quandary as to what to all her partner.
Claiming that since Proposition 8 deprives gay and lesbians of their rights and treats them like second class citizens. And since the state does not allow her and her wife, err girlfriend (roommate or whatever it is she has to call her) the same rights bestowed on any other citizen then that can mean she is at a liberty not to pay her taxes because she is not a full citizen. It is wrong to force someone to pay taxes when that person does not enjoy the same rights beign enjoyed by others, she said.
Melissa’s tirade versus Proposition 8 and her innuendos against the non-payment of taxes has earned her a lot of media mileage. Her suggestion to stop the payment of taxes may just convince other gays and lesbians affected by the constitutional amendment and can even give rise to a new movement that can cause chaos in the State of California.
Other high profile gays and lesbians can join Melissa’s cause and when this happens, this can spell big trouble not only for good ole California but for Uncle Sam as well. So, will they put the handcuffs on her soon?
