Mike Tyson loses his daughter!

How Many Wives And Kids Has Mike Tyson Had?

On May 25, 2009, Exodus Tyson, 4 years of age, was found by her 7 year old brother Miguel Tyson, unconscious and tangled in a cord dangling from an exercise treadmill. The child's mother untangled her, administered CPR and called for medical attention. Exodus was listed in "extremely critical condition" at Phoenix's St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center. The following day on May 26, 2009 at 11:45 AM she died of her injuries.

Exodus was playing near the exercise equipment while her mother was cleaning in a separate room at 10:30 this morning. The mom sent the brother to look for the 4 year old, Fox reports.

After finding her in distress, he alerted his mother, who found Exodus on a treadmill with what has been described as a cable around her neck, according to police, who call it a "tragic accident."

Tyson has been legally married twice and has had six children with several different women. His first marriage was to actress Robin Givens from February 7, 1988 to February 14, 1989. Givens was known for her work on the sitcom Head of the Class.

Mike Tyson has fathered eight children. He married his first wife successful actress Robin Givens on 8th February 1988 but the marriage ended the following year following allegations of violence made by Givens. At one stage Givens claimed on television that Tyson was suffering from manic depression (now known as bi-polar disorder). In 1991 Tyson admitted he was the father of a baby girl born in 1991 to Kimberley Scarborough.


Another woman Natalie Fears claimed in the same year that Tyson was the father of her son but a blood test showed that this was not the case and her multimillion dollar lawsuit collapsed. In 1997 Tyson married Monica Turner now mother to two of his children, Rayna and Amir born in 1996 and 1997. His other children are called Gena, D'Amato, Mikey, Miguel, and Exodus.

The Mystery of Bruce Lee's Death

The Mystery of Bruce Lee's Death

The History Channel continues its flight from history with "How Bruce Lee Changed the World" (8 p.m., History).This two-hour profile offers a thorough look at the famous movie star and martial-arts master who died at 32 in 1973.

Much like James Dean, Lee's premature exit burnished his growing reputation and catapulted him from mere movie star to cultural legend.

Bruce Lee (Lee Hsiao Lung), was born in San Fransisco in November 1940 the son of a famous Chinese opera singer. Bruce moved to Hong Kong when he soon became a child star in the growing Eastern film industry. His first film was called The birth of Mankind, his last film which was uncompleted at the time of his death in 1973 was called Game of Death.

Bruce was a loner and was constantly getting himself into fights, with this in mind he looked towards Kung Fu as a way of disciplining himself. The famous Yip Men taught Bruce his basic skills, but it was not long before he was mastering the master. Yip Men was acknowledged to be one of the greatest authorities on the subject of Wing Chun a branch of the Chinese Martial Arts.

Bruce mastered this before progressing to his own style of Jeet Kune Do. At the age of 19 Bruce left Hong Kong to study for a degree in philosophy at the University of Washington in America. It was at this time that he took on a waiter's job and also began to teach some of his skills to students who would pay. Some of the Japanese schools in the Seattle area tried to force Bruce out, and there was many confrontations and duels fought for Bruce to remain.

He met his wife Linda at the University he was studying. His Martial Arts school flourished and he soon graduated. He gained some small roles in Hollywood films - Marlowe- etc, and some major stars were begging to be students of the Little Dragon. James Coburn, Steve McQueen and Lee Marvin to name but a few.

He regularly gave displays at exhibitions, and it was during one of these exhibitions that he was spotted by a producer and signed up to do The Green Hornet series. The series was quite successful in the States - but was a huge hit in Hong Kong. Bruce visited Hong Kong in 1968 and he was overwhelmed by the attention he received from the people he had left.

Bruce Lee, dressed in the traditional Chinese outfit he wore in the movie Enter The Dragon, was laid to rest in Lakeview Cemetery in Seattle in late July of 1973. But long before Lee's sudden and tragic death in a Hong Kong apartment at age 32, rumors were rife throughout the Orient that he had been wounded or killed in fights.

"One day, I got a long-distance call from Hong Kong's largest newspaper," Lee recalled. "They asked me if I was still alive. 'Guess who you are talking to?' I replied."

Thus, when Lee actually did die, speculation abounded as to the cause. The rumors ranged from Lee being killed by Hong Kong triads (gangsters) because he refused to pay them protection money - something that was common for Chinese movie stars to do at that time -to his being killed by an angry martial artist's dim mak (death touch) strike.

Some people claimed Lee was cursed-he had just bought a house in Hong Kong that was supposed to be haunted-or that he had died while mking love to actress Betty Tingpei, or that he had angered the Chinese martial arts community by teaching foreigners, and that he had been killed in a challenge match.

Many Chinese believed Lee was the victim of too much gum Ilk (intensity) in his training, while others cited drug use as the cause for his sudden demise. Still others believed that Lee's fate was sealed at birth, that it was in the stars. And, finally, there are those who think Lee's death was staged, and that he is merely waiting for the right time to return to society.

The facts of the case are this: Lee died after falling into a coma. The coroner's report was inconclusive, and medical authorities came up with five reasons for Lee's untimely death. However, they all agreed that it was caused by a cerebral edema (a swelling of the brain caused by a congestion of fluid).

But what caused the edema became a matter of speculation. For the most part, the course of events on that fateful July day in 1973 can be pieced together. According to Lee's wife, Linda, Bruce met film producer Raymond Chow at 2 p.m. at home to discuss the making of Game of Death. They worked until 4 p.m., and then drove together to the home of Betty Tingpei, a Taiwanese actress who was to also have a leading role in the film. The three went over the script at Tingpei's home, and then Chow left to attend a dinner meeting.

A short time later, Lee complained of a headache and Tingpei gave him a tablet of Equagesic-a kind of super sapirin. Apart from that, Lee reportedly consumed nothing but a couple of soft drinks.

At around 7:30 p.m., Lee lay down for a nap and was still asleep when Chow called to ask why he and Tingpei had not yet shown up for dinner as planned. The actress told Chow she could not wake Lee. The ensuing autopsy found traces of cannabis in Lee's stomach, but the significance of this discovery is debatable. Some believe the cannabis caused a chemical reaction that led to the cerebral edema, but the coroner's inquiry refutes this theory.

In fact, one doctor was quoted as saying that the cannabis being in Lee's stomach was "no more significant than if Bruce had drunk a cup of tea that day."

Rapper Dolla killed - Dolla shot dead

Rapper Dolla killed - Dolla shot dead



Dolla, a rapping protege of hip-hop artist Akon, was fatally shot in the head Monday near a valet stand outside an upscale mall, his publicist said. No arrests were made, but police were questioning a man found hours later with a gun in the ticketing area of the Los Angeles International Airport.

Dolla, whose real name is Roderick Burton II, was shot at the Beverly Center near West Hollywood and Beverly Hills after an argument with the gunman, his publicist Sue Vannasing told the Los Angeles Times. Police and coroner's officials have not confirmed the victim's identity.

Police said the man detained at the airport remained in custody late Monday for questioning. He is believed to have dropped off a rental car before he was found at the airport with a handgun, said airport police spokesman Sgt. Jim Holcomb.

"The suspect was detained without incident [and] discovered to be armed," said Los Angeles World Airports spokeswoman Nancy Castles.


Police later found the Mercedes in an airport parking lot. LAPD officials, who spoke on the condition that they not be named because of the continuing inquiry, said they are investigating whether the man was trying to get a flight out of L.A.

Burton was an up-and-coming rapper who had recorded several singles. He was in town to work on his first album, slated to be released this summer on Jive Records, Vannasing said.

Explosions & fire at Sunoco refinery on Delaware River

Explosions & fire at Sunoco refinery on Delaware River

An explosion Sunday at the Sunoco refinery along the Delaware River could be felt for miles and resulted in flames shooting high into the late-night sky, officials and witnesses said.

The blast happened about 10:15 p.m. in the ethylene unit of the refinery that straddles the Delaware/Pennsylvania border, said Thomas Golembeski, a Sunoco spokesman. No one was injured and all refinery workers were accounted for by midnight, he said.

Golembeski said he did not know what caused the blast. It was safe for residents of surrounding neighborhoods to stay in their homes, according to Golembeski and Delaware State Police Cpl. Jeff Whitmarsh.

The fire was in storage tanks in the Claymont part of the plant and was largely under control, though still burning at 12:12 a.m. today, Golembeski said.

About 10:30 p.m. Sunday, a large cloud of black smoke could be seen heading north from Harvey Road. The cloud had dissipated by about 12:15 a.m. today. Both Golembeski and Whitmarsh said ethylene oxide is not dangerous to humans.

It is produced in large volumes and is used primarily as an intermediate in the production of several industrial chemicals, according to OSHA. It also is used as a fumigant in certain agricultural products and as a sterilant for medical equipment and supplies. Ethylene oxide is flammable and highly reactive. The Marcus Hook refinery is the second largest in the Northeast, capable of processing 178,000 barrels a day.

In March 2006, an explosion rocked the refinery and led to a large fire that took more than an hour to bring completely under control.
The facility employs around 700 people and opened in 1902. The 82-acre refinery is Sunoco’s biggest refinery and the seventh largest in the United States.

Ethylene oxide

Ethylene oxide (EtO) is produced in large volumes and is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of several industrial chemicals, the most notable of which is ethylene glycol. It is also used as a fumigant in certain agricultural products and as a sterilant for medical equipment and supplies.

Unfortunately, EtO possesses several physical and health hazards that merit special attention. EtO is both flammable and highly reactive. Acute exposures to EtO gas may result in respiratory irritation and lung injury, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath, and cyanosis. Chronic exposure has been associated with the occurrence of cancer, reproductive effects, mutagenic changes, neurotoxicity, and sensitization.

Ethylene oxide is a flammable gas with a somewhat sweet odor. It dissolves easily in water.

Ethylene oxide is a man-made chemical that is used primarily to make ethylene glycol (a chemical used to make antifreeze and polyester). A small amount (less than 1%) is used to control insects in some stored agricultural products and a very small amount is used in hospitals to sterilize medical equipment and supplies.

Miss California 2009 Pictures causes Shanna Moakler to Resign


Miss California 2009 Pictures causes Shanna Moakler to Resign
.

Seems part of the press conference of Miss California keeping her crown was not as happy as every one seemed. Shanna Moakler resigned her pos ition as co director of the Miss California pageant. Seems Shanna did not agree with Donald Trumps decision not to strip Carrie Prejean’s crown.

Seems to me she would have taken the high road as Carrie Prejean was demonstrating and sticking to her core values. But Shanna Moakler did not do that she just smiled and acted as if everything was fine. Then she just quiet. Apparently she did not agree with the decision and did not think the Miss California 2009 pictures where fine as Donald Trump remarked.

Just one day after the Donald dismissed Moakler’s urgings to strip Prejean of her Miss California title and announced that the controversial beauty queen would remain the face of the Golden State, Moakler has resigned as the organization’s co-executive director.

"Since the press conference yesterday, I had a chance to think about what has taken place, and I feel that at this time it is in my best interest to resign from the Miss California USA organization," Moakler said in a statement this morning.

"I cannot with a clear conscious move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it, or the contracts I signed committing myself as a youth."

I say good riddance. All these small minded people need to all get out of positions of authority. Anyone should realize by now these events have absolutely nothing to do with the Miss California 2009 pictures and more about her stance on gay marriage. These people where determined to make Miss California suffer for her stance, but since Miss California won this small battle, then Shanna Moakler could not take it.

Ms California Carrie Prejean apparently took some racy photos when she was younger and now these pictures of Carrie Prejean have surfaced on the internet. According to Carrie Prejean the pictures are designed to embarrass her for her stance on same sex marriage.

Carrie Prejean caused a big ruckus with a lot of bloggers when she said marriage should be between a man and a women. Personally, I agree with Carrie ( Miss California) on this matter, but why are we spending so many news cycles on this matter. We have more important things to worry about such as swine flu and the failing economy.

Prejean announced last week that she would star in a new $1.5 million ad campaign supporting what she called "opposite marriage" (marriage between a man and a woman) funded by the National Organization for Marriage.

"Marriage is good," Prejean said at a news conference announcing the ad campaign. "There is something special about unions of husband and wife. Unless we bring men and women together, children will not have mothers and fathers."

Millions of votes were cast and Mike was chosen to compete in the final three. Tara, Helen and Mike were trained by Jillian Michaels, who has been the trainer for the last two Biggest Loser champions, both women.

Helen Is The Biggest Loser Season 7 Winner


The Biggest Loser 2009 season 7 finale is just over and Helen is the winner of the Biggest Loser 2009 Finale. Many viewers were shocked to see Helen becoming the winner of the Biggest Loser Season 7 Finale.

Our congratulations to Helen and her daughter Shanon. This was a great season for the Biggest Loser. Although Helen is the winner of the 2009 The Biggest Loser Finale everyone wins tonight.

Helen's Bio from The Biggest Loser

Helen is a very outgoing, friendly and caring mom of three. She has always put her friends and family before herself, which has left her with little time to care for her own needs, including a proper diet. Helen fell into the fast food routine; it was simple and worked with her busy schedule.

Helen and her husband keep the fridge stocked with all their favorite junk foods that she cannot resist. Helen knows she needs to be on the show to become a better role model for the people she loves, and above all, for herself.

She was not always heavy and once the weight was gained she found herself not able to enjoy the physical activities she once loved to do. Now instead of taking a hike, she finds herself sitting on the couch watching the Travel Channel while eating ice cream. Helen says she and her husband have become each other's enablers and this only makes it harder to lose the weight.

Helen and Shanon are a down-to-earth mother-and-daughter team who could pass as sisters. They are extremely competitive and love to laugh. Shanon and Helen are both gorgeous women who have a zest for life.

They leave everyone they meet with a smile on their face. Helen would do anything to help her daughter, especially because she feels she did not provide enough for Shanon when she was growing up.

TMZ Miss California

Miss California Carrie Prejean

Miss California, Carrie Prejean, has been under fire ever since she competed in the Miss USA pageant last month. Anti-gay marriage comments during the competition drew and, in the eyes of some observers, may have been what cost her that title. She wound up as runner-up to Miss North Carolina.

On Monday, Miss California officials said she could keep the title, pending final word expected Tuesday morning from Donald Trump, owner of the Miss USA pageant.

Fans are wondering whether Trump will utter the phrase attached to him forever by the show, "The Apprentice": "You're fired!"

Under the headline, "Oops, She Did It Again!," TMZ has photos of Prejean topless.

"These pics," TMZ says, "were taken just last year -- meaning Carrie was the ripe ol' LEGAL age of 20."

In a radio interview, reports CBS News correspondent Bianca Solorzano, Prejean says that, when the gay marriage question put to her during the Miss USA competition, " I felt Satan was trying to tempt me with this question. But God was in my head and my heart saying, "Carrie, do not compromise this."

Co-executive director Keith Lewis said, "Up until now, we have just been riding along pretty much a passenger on this runaway train. As of today, that ends."

In the meantime, Solorzano points out, local officials in California are already embracing the embattled Prejean's runner-up, giving her some of the title-holder's official duties.


Trump says Miss California USA can retain crown

Donald Trump has said Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean, (pray-ZHAHN'), can retain her crown.

Trump, who owns the Miss USA pageant, made the announcement Tuesday at Trump Tower in New York City.

Trump says the pageant has determined the photos are "fine."

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump plans to make an announcement regarding Miss California USA Carrie Prejean (pray-ZHAHN').

Trump, who owns the Miss USA pageant, will make the announcement Tuesday at Trump Tower in New York City.

The 21-year-old Prejean failed to reveal before last month's Miss USA pageant that she had posed in her underwear as a teenager.

She also sparked controversy when she answered a judge's question by saying she believes marriage should be between only a man and a woman.

Who won Celebrity Apprentice ???

Who Won Celebrity Apprentice ???

Annie Duke and Joan Rivers made no secret of their dislike for each other and that made this finale of Celebrity Apprentice. Who did Donald Trump select as the winner of Celebrity Apprentice May 10, 2009?

The Celebrity Apprentice 2 (Apprentice 8) is the eighth installment of the United States version of the reality television series. This season started on March 1, 2009 and end with May 10, 2009. The Celebrity Apprentice 2 aired for two hours on Sundays at 9:00 Eastern time. This season officially started shooting on October 8, 2008. The season ended March 1st, 2009.

The Celebrity Apprentice Season 2 finale is ended night of 10, May 2009. Annie Duke and Joan Rivers are the two
people in the Celebrity Apprentice 2009 finale, one of them will be the winner. Most of the television viewers searching winner of the celebrity apprentice 2. Here Who won this show details.

In Celebrity Apprentice 2009, there certainly was no love lost between Annie Duke and the eventual winner, Joan Rivers. There was a lot of trash-talk between the two, and as many suspect these shows are partially scripted, there has to be some doubt as to how much hatred is really there. But if it's as much as it seems, it's a lot.

The finale centered around a fundraiser, and it's interesting that despite the fact that Joan Rivers only raised $150,830 and Annie Duke raised $465,725, Rivers was the 2009 Celebrity Apprentice Winner.

Simply put, money is important, but that's not all. Trump noted that Annie did a great job on charity integration. Joan won the other three criteria. Joan had better celebrities, better guest experience, and better Kodak integration. 3-2 win on the charity fundraiser.

In case you were wondering, Annie was playing for Refugees International. Joan Rivers was playing for God's Love We Deliver. Despite the fact that these celebrity reality shows always seem to bring out the worst in b-level celebrities, the in-fighting between Rivers and Duke probably very much helped the 2009 Celebrity Apprentice. The real winners: Trump, as he'll be back next year with another season, and of course, NBC.
