Jeanne Bice, creator of the "Quacker Factory" line of clothing carried on QVC, died Friday at the age of 71.  Just last month she disclosed she was battling cancer. Jeanne was a colorful, lovable character.  There wasn’t an article of clothing in the world she couldn’t spruce up with a cascade of sequins, beads, Christmas trees or angels. Jeanne loved her customers, who all referred to themselves as Quackers.  'They come as customers, they stay as friends,'  she said over and over. 'I owe everything I have to these women who believe in me.' It never mattered who you were.  Rich, famous,successful or struggling, size 4 or 44-it never mattered.  She loved who you were inside. She had time for everyone.  She will be missed by her legions of fans.

British musician and talk show host Lily Allen married her boyfriend Sam Cooper in England on Saturday.  Cooper, 32, is a building company owner. He and Allen have been together for two years.

Jennifer Hudson was rushed to the hospital on Friday with "severe abdominal pains" after making an appearance on "Good Morning America."  She was reportedly treated for food poisoning and released.  This comes after Selena Gomez who was hospitalized for severe nausea after appearing on "The Tonight Show" Thursday evening. Selena Gomez made a trip back to the hospital on Saturday -- two days after she was rushed there complaining of nausea and a severe headache. Doctors are running tests for blood pressure issues.

Ok, so while Rep. Anthony Weiner has taken the Hollywood step of rehab-ing following getting caught sexting a number of women, new photos have emerged that placed him in the House Members Gym, sending them to at least one woman.  This raises questions about whether he used Congressional resources in his online exploits.

Spencer Pratt's 1990 Chevrolet C/K Pickup 2500 truck is up for on sale on eBay $5K. While Pratt recently spent $11,000 to rebuild the engine, he says he's selling it "because it gets too much attention driving a monster truck around L.A."  (and a wimpy monster truck as well)

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has been named the world's best show. The program was presented with the International Television Audience Award for a Drama TV Series at the 51st Monte Carlo TV Festival. The title was given by Eurodata TV Worldwide for the highest ratings worldwide in 2010 across five continents.

"Teen Mom" star, Amber Portwood, has been given probation after pleading guilty to two felony domestic battery charges against her former boyfriend and father of her now 2 year old daughter. Madison Superior Court Judge, David Happe, dropped a felony child neglect charge against Portwood and ordered Portwood to undergo 30 days of inpatient therapy, obtain her high school diploma and put $10,000 in a college fund for her daughter.

Driver, Jeff Gordon moved into a tie for third on NASCAR's Sprint Cup career victories list, winning for the 84th time when he took the checkered flag Sunday at Pocono Raceway. His 84 wins tie him with Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip for most in NASCAR history. Richard Petty leads with 200 wins and David Pearson is second with 105.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are donating $500,000 from their foundation to help the town of Joplin, Missouri rebuild from the deadly tornado that struck them last month. The gift from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation will go to mid and long-term needs of people in the stricken area. The May 22nd tornado destroyed more than 8,000 homes and 400 businesses. The death toll was 151 as of Friday, including several victims who died as a result of injuries suffered in the storm.

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.
