The 15-year-old boy, who was struck by a car carrying Khloe Kardashian's husband, NBA star, Lamar Odom, has died from the injuries he sustained in the accident. The crash happened last week in New York, where Odom was attending a funeral for his cousin. Odom has hired a car service to drive him around and the car struck a motorcycle and a pedestrian. A funeral for the boy was held yesterday. A source close to Odom says he is "devastated."

Charlie Sheen has signed a deal to star in a sitcom called, "Anger Management," which is loosely based on the 2003 Adam Sandler-Jack Nicholson movie. He'll also have a "significant ownership" stake in the show.  Sheen says he chose the show because "while it might be a big stretch for me to play a guy with serious anger management issues, I think it is a great concept!" No word yet on what channel  the show will air.

Donald Trump broke the news of his new grand daughter's name on Monday morning, when he made an appearance on "Fox and Friends" on Monday morning even before his daughter could make the announcement.  Regardless, the new baby's name is Arabella Rose.  Trump says the baby is beautiful and Ivanka's doing great. Arabella Rose is Trump's third grandchild. Son Donald Trump Jr. and his wife are expecting their third child in October.

Nady Suliman, Octomom, says she never gave the interview...but now it looks like "In Touch" magazine was correct when they printed that the mother of 14 is "disgusted by babies" because they have the interview on tape! It's clear in the audio recording that Octomom states, "Whenever I hear a baby cry, I cringe. I do not like babies." Nadya continues, "I am absolutely disgusted by babies. They make me sick ... I don't even look at them. I have to look away."  On the tape Nadya also says she locks herself in the bathroom just to get away from it all. Again, TMZ is reporting that when they called Octomom's PR rep, they said Nadya never gave an interview to In Touch and has never said she was disgusted by her own children.

Bette Midler is tweeting Lady Gaga to respect her elders and remind her who was the original Miss Thing....  Midler is the original "Mermaid in a Wheelchair" and she's not gonna let Gaga forget it. After getting egged by Australian fans for her "Mermaid in a Wheelchair" act, Midler took to Twitter to remind everyone she originated the routine saying, "I'm not sure @ladygaga knows that I've performed my mermaid in a wheelchair for millions of people -- and many of them still alive,"

Midler tweeted again the next day. "Dear @ladygaga if you think a mermaid in a wheelchair seems familiar-it's because it is!You can see it on youtube 24/7-with ME performing it."  A third time a steamed Midler said, "Dear @ladygaga Ive been doing singing mermaid in a wheelchair since 1980-You can keep the meat dress and the firecracker tits-mermaid's mine."  After no response from Gaga Midler tweeted "@ladygaga let's drink this over at the Emmys in September. Fabulous mermaids can coexist!"

Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake both received invitations to, and will attend, the Marine Corps Ball.  Each one was invited by a Marine via YouTube. Now Sgt. Ray Lewis has uploaded his dating request. Lewis first shows off his physical prowess -- doing a series of pull-ups, crunches and a sprint before asking 89-year-old "it girl" Betty White to be his date for the November event. "I think I could make her laugh," says Murphy in the video. "I think she could make me laugh. I think we could laugh together." White, unfortunately, won't be able to make it. "I am deeply flattered and truly appreciate the invitation, as everyone knows I love a man in uniform," says White in a statement. "But unfortunately I cannot accept, as I will be taping an episode of Hot In Cleveland. Love, Betty White."

The show, "American Idol", will be inducted into Broadcasting & Cable's Hall of Fame. The 21st annual awards dinner, honoring the broadcast industry's best, is set for Wednesday, October 26th, at the famed Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

Jessica is originally from Marietta, GA! I am probably one of the only real "Atlantans" left! I love Atlanta because there is always something going on, and it's just close enough to the beach to get away for a weekend.
