Sister to President John F. Kennedy and mother to California First Lady Maria Shriver Schwarzenegger, Eunice Kennedy Shriver has died at the age of 88.

For the last week, Eunice has been in critical condition Cape Cod Hospital in Barnstable, Mass.

In 1968 she organized the first Special Olympics which was inspired by her sister Rosemary who was mentally disabled.

The family released the following statement:

“a living prayer, a living advocate, a living center of power. She set out to change the world and to change us, and she did that and more.”

Sen. Edward Kennedy also paid tribute to her

“great humor, sharp wit and … boundless passion to make a difference.”

Our condolences to the Kennedy, Shriver & Schwarzenegger families.

I wouldn’t figure Jason Statham as someone who has a man purse.  Not that I’m judging.  Quite frankly I don’t know how the male species has survived without that glorious appendage.  Maybe it’s like asking for directions: they know they should,  but they don’t, and we will never figure out why. 

His greeting to the pappers waiting for him outside the May Fair Hotel in London?  ‘Alright, scumbags’.  That cracks me right up!!

Mischa Barton is in New York filming scenes for her show The Beautiful Life with costar Nico Tortorella

There has been much written recently about whether or not Mischa has returned to the set from her hospital visit too soon.  I sincerely hope she is surrounded by people who put her best interests forward and ensure she hasn’t returned too soon.
