Celebrity News for Moms from Have U Heard

This week we lost a true "Golden Girl", Rue McClanahan passed away at the age of 76 from a stroke. Rue was the original Samantha (Sex in the City), adding some spice to 'The Golden Girls', the sitcom Rue starred in along with Bea Arthur, Estelle Getty and Betty White. Both Bea and Estelle are also deceased.

Child actor, Gary Coleman, famous for his "whatcha talkin' bout Willis" quote from 'Different Strokes' passed away at the young age of 42. He is said to have fallen and suffered a brain injury causing his death.

In happier news, Have U Heard met and interviewed some great celebrities this week. We made a visit to the set of 'Royal Pains', meeting the stars of the show, Mark Feuerstein (Hank), Paulo Costanzo (Evan), Reshma Shetty (Divya) and Jill Flint (Jill). We also saw the premiere of Season 2 with Henry Winkler appearing this season as Hank and Eddie's father. No spoiler to share but the show has become a huge hit on the USA Network and worth seeing!!

A visit and interview with the judges from The Next Food Network Star, Bob Tuschman and Susie Fogelson, did provide some insight into the show. Did you know the judges take 6 to 8 hours to evaluate the food and determine the fate of the contestants? For the first season there were more than 10,000 applicants to compete on the show but the entries have since dropped, now that people see how hard it is to actually compete.

Finally, an interview with Carrie Ann Inaba, our favorite judge from Dancing With the Stars, gave some real insight into the more "personal" side of Carrie Ann. Her love of cats has landed her on the Housecat Housecall on Animal Planet. With 5 cats Carrie Ann welcomed a visit to her home. Carrie Ann confided her favorite contestant ever on Dancing With the Stars was Jerry Springer. To find out what about Jerry Springer Carrie Ann loved go to Have U Heard (www.haveuheard.net).
