Jack LaLanne dies at the age of 96, Natalie Portman’s ‘No Strings Attached’ No. 1 and Steve Harvey’s ex-wife is homeless.
Jack LaLanne dies at the age of 96 is making headlines as the fitness legend died on Sunday. Natalie Portman and her new movie with Ashton Kutcher ‘No Strings Attached’ topped the box office over the weekend. Mary Harvey, ex-wife of Steve Harvey is claiming that Steve took everything from her and is now homeless.
First up is the tragic death of Jack LaLanne on Sunday at the age of 96-years-old. LaLanne was best known for his fitness show “The Jack LaLanne Show” which became a nationwide hit in 1959. Jack’s show ran for 20 years and captivated millions with his unique approach to fitness. You see Jack LaLanne didn’t require any fancy equipment to get in shape. All that Jack used were a chair and a towel; not to mention his crazy shiny track suit. Jack left behind his wife and fitness sidekick Elaine LaLanne who was devastated by his demise. Our condolences go out to the friends and family of Jack LaLanne in this time of tragedy.
Next up is the new Natalie Portman – Ashton Kutcher movie ‘No Strings Attached’ which topped the box office over the weekend. It turns out that anything Portman stars in is gold as her Black Swan is still receiving praise and she won a Golden Globe for her performance in it. Portman’s newest venture is a raunchy friend with benefits comedy co-stars Kutcher. Many reviews of the film have been negative but I always say you can’t trust those stupid ass movie critics. If you want to laugh and see Natalie Portman almost nude on screen, I say you go see No Strings Attached.
Last but not least are comedian Steve Harvey and his ex-wife Mary Harvey. Mary is claiming that Steve left her with absolutely nothing after their split. She says he took their son, money, home and now she is poor and homeless! It’s pretty amazing that 9 times out of 10 celebrity divorces are nasty as hell. It’s now being said that Steve Harvey is suing Mary for dishing all of this dirt to the media so I doubt this is the last we will hear from these two recent divorcees.

Attorney Geoffrey Fieger is the favorite among likely voters in the Democratic gubernatorial primary if he chose to run, according to a new poll.
An EPIC-MRA poll of 400 people who were likely to vote in the Democratic primary reported that when given a list of names of possible candidates, 28 percent of the people polled said they would select the fiery Fieger, although he has not filed to run for the office.
The poll was commissioned by WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) and the Detroit Free Press and released Friday.

Rounding out the Democratic field in the poll, 20 percent opted for House Speaker Andy Dillon of Redford Township, 13 percent for Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero, and 8 percent for state Rep. Alma Wheeler Smith of Salem Township, according to WXYZ.
But 29 percent of the respondents said they were unsure of who they would vote for in the primary. Two percent said they would vote for "other." The poll has an error margin of 4.9 percentage points, according to WXYZ.
Fieger has said he would make a decision after an HBO biopic about assisted-suicide doctor Jack Kevorkian airs Saturday night, according to WXYZ. The Oakland County attorney rose to fame as Kevorkian's lawyer in the 1990s.
In 1998, Fieger won the Democratic gubernatorial primary but lost to then-Republican Gov. John Engler in the general election.

One of the most prominent figures in the legalization community died today, 70 year-old Oregon resident Jack Herer, author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes and lifelong cannabis activist.
California NORML reports and Salem-News.com confirms Herer passed away this morning, after months of serious health complications from a massive heart attack in late 2009.
California NORML's Dale Geiringer said Herer was an idealistic, hard-headed pioneer with a voice louder than any P.A. system.
"Jack's big contribution was to raise awareness of hemp and the importance of hemp in American agriculture and industry before the mid 20th century. I saw an immediate impact when his book came out around 1990. I had just gotten involved in the marijuana movement and it was the height of the war on drugs. People would just avoid you like the plague. Then when Jack had his book come out, hemp suddenly became an environmental issue."
Herer's work in The Emperor Has No Clothes became canon to the new generation of activists. However, his later attempts to change various states' laws through the initiative process met with failure. He tried for years to get hemp initiatives on the different ballots, but they proved too radical for the time.
"He kept staying with his initiative and it always had problems. He was asking for a little bit more than the moon," says Gieringer. "It's ironic because he died the year full-scale legalization — I should say half-scale legalization is on the ballot. My recollection is Jack wasn't particularly enthusiastic about it."
According to Herer, The Emperor Wears No Clothes has sold 600,000 copies. Herer also had a strain of potent cannabis named after, called Jack Herer (below).
