Still Learning, but what is up with people?

The story came out today about Heath Ledger's uncles telling the Australian press about the possibility of Ledger fathering an illegitimate child when he was 17. Here's a brief outline of the story:
Hot on the heels of calling out Heath Ledger's father's potential mismanagement of the late star's estate, the actor's estranged uncles have told Australia's Daily Telegraph that it's possible Ledger fathered an illegitimate child back when he was 17 and carrying on a relationship with a 25-year-old. While the girl became pregnant after the duo split, and while she was living with another man, Haydn Ledger told the paper, "There is a very real possibility that Heath was the father." If proven true, it could divide the portion of his estate already earmarked for two-year-old Matilda, his daughter with Michelle Williams. (source: eonline)

I actually find all of these stories pretty disgusting. Even if all of this is true, it should be worked out in the family, not in the press. It kind of makes sense that Heath decided to move to the U.S., he just wanted to get away from his family. I guess his father and brothers have been fighting forever. Seriously, some things should be kept private.

In other "breaking" (but not really because it's been pretty obvious) news, a Bahamian jury ruled that Anna Nicole Smith's son, Daniel, died from a drug overdose:
A Bahamas jury has determined that Anna Nicole Smith's late son Daniel passed away from an accidental drug overdose in September 2006, and recommending that no criminal charges be filed as a result. The verdict came back after less than two hours of deliberations.
Seriously? It took two years and two hours to figure that out? How much money did the Bahamian government waste on that inquest?

On to other (happier, or at least more light hearted), Star magazine and the photo agency X-17 broke the story this weekend that Brangelina finally tied the knot in New Orleans on Saturday. Such happy news, right? It would have been the scoop of the century had it been true. Unfortunately, the couple (and their ever expanding brood of children) are currently in Texas, where Brad is filming a movie:
So much for wishful thinking. Sources deny to E! News weekend reports that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie tied the knot in New Orleans Saturday, saying the duo are currently in Texas while Pitt completes filming his new drama, Tree of Life. (source eonline)

I love it when the press (or in this case quasi press?) messes up like this! There was quite the media storm happening on Saturday as a result of this bogus report, but it was quickly scuttled when legitimate news outlets realized how bogus it was. People will do anything for five minutes of fame, they should realize that by now. How many reality shows are there on the air right now? That should prove the point to the T.

Well, everyone has returned from their vacations here at the Vine. While all the on air people were here last week, most of the support and sales staff decided to take spring break (lucky!), but now they're back and wanting all kinds of things from this radio redhead, which means I should probably get bavk to my day job!
Later!
