“Jett” Not Jeff Travolta

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 7:54 pm

Ok, in the last 2 hours we have had nearly 2 dozen emails from our readers asking us what has happened with “Jeff” Travolta. First we want to correct you all. You are really looking for information of John Travolta’s son “Jett”. Notice the “tt”, it’s not Jeff Travolta like most people are thinking.

Sadly, Jett has passed away at the age of 16 after falling and hitting his head in the family’s bathtub. For more information on this tragedy, please check out the following story: Jett Travolta Dead

De La Villehuchet Suicide

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 2:11 pm

If the losses of over $50 billion was not enough to make Madoff look like some kind of scheming monster, then this surely will. Reports say that Mr. Thierry Magon de La Villehuchet had invested as the founder and Co-chairman of Access International Advisors in excess of $1.4 billion into Madoffs $50 billion ponzi scheme.

Today, December 23rd, 2008, at approximately 7:30 am Police were called to his Madison Avenue office in New York City, New York, where they found him dead, in what looked like an apparent suicide. Thierry Magon de La Villehuchet was 65 years of age. What a tragedy only two days before Christmas.
Access International last week called Madoff’s arrest “shocking” in a note to their many investors. Investors in the fund included a unit of Rothschild and several clients of the Swiss bank UBS.

Is Dolly Parton Dead?

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:45 am

Alright already! This morning I had 129 emails in my profilesblog account asking me if I know if the rumor that Dolly Parton is Dead is true or false. Alarmed by the thought since my mother is a huge Dolly Parton fan, I quickly got our investigation team on the topic. Here is what I have found out.

At approximately 10:30 Pm Fox News ran a story that there were unconfirmed reports that the famed country singer had passed away at age 62 from congestive heart failure. The first this I did after hearing this is investigate whether or not Ms. Parton had a history of heart ailments. I couldn’t find anything solid that pointed to past heart/cardiovascular health ailments that Dolly had suffered from in the past. Good news #1

Next I quickly looked for statements from Dolly Partons publicists. To my relief I found a statement recently issued by Pete Owens, her publicist stating that Dolly is not dead, and there will be no official statement made by Ms, Parton on the rumors. It is believed that at a football game at some Tennessee high school, the announcer had stated that Dolly Parton had passed away from congestive heart failure. No further information is known as to which high school stated this or why it was stated.

dolly parton not dead

I can thus concluded with 99% certainty that Dolly Parton is not dead, but in fact is live and well and continues to brighten the spirits of her fans worldwide.

Six Flags Decapitation in Atlanta

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 7:41 pm

Sadly, and gruesomely, a 17 year old boy was killed by decapitation today at 2pm at the Six Flags Amusement park in Atlanta Georgia. This incident unlike most deaths at amusement parks was not due to ride malfunction or safety regulations. The 17 Year old scaled 2 restricted fences to gain access to a restricted and dangerous park of the park, right in the tracks of a rollercoaster said to reach top speeds of 50 Miles per hour.

The Victim was struck, decapitated, and obviously killed by the coaster. Witness’s stated that the 17 year old lost something out of his pocket on one of the rides at Six flags, and thus jumped the fences in order to recover those items. I can only hope that too mainly children did not see the horrible accident. God bless his family, as this is just an accident that really is no ones fault.

Amanda Jo Earhart Savell Found Dead

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 7:20 pm

Amanda Jo Earhart Savell and her boyfriend, steroid dealer, 35-year-old David Jacobs were found dead in their Plano Texas home this morning. Amanda Jo Earhart Savell was 30 years old and a female bodybuilder from what we were told had been dating Jacobs for some time.

Jacobs was recently convicted on federal steroid distribution charges last year. He was on probabtion currently and cooperating with the NFL naming players who he knew were involved in the illegal performance enhancing drugs. Jacobs had said he provided two National Football League players with steroids and human growth hormone and that they then supplied other N.F.L. players with the banned substances. Authorities are still investigating to determine if the Amanda Jo Earhart Savell and Jacobs deaths are part of a double homicide or a possible murder suicide on the part of Jacobs.

It makes you wonder if maybe one of the Star football layers started getting nervous that they would be ratted out for steroid use to the NFL, and made sure Jacobs would not talk. It should be interesting to see where the investigation leads. A Mockup of Amanda Jo Earhart Savell’s myspace profile can be see at:

Margaux Powers Found Dead

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 2:52 pm

It really pains me to read the news every morning. It’s really depressing to read about the often senseless crimes committed each and every day by the seemingly every growing population of bad people in this world.

Last night, Saturday May 31st, 26 year old Margaux Powers was found dead in her bathroom located at her Chelsea New York apartment. Hours later a man 8 years her senior was found dead as well. This was 34 year old Jonathan Smith, who lived at the same Chelsea address. His body was found in front of 55 Exchange Place. Although nothing is official, authorities are connecting this and saying it was a murder suicide.

The following statement was issues by Michael Powers, Margaux’s Father this morning on part of the Powers Family:
“We are completely devastated by the loss of Margaux. She was an extremely loving and loyal daughter, sister, granddaughter and a joy to our family. A life long resident of Glen Cove, she was a 2005 graduate of Cornell University and recently moved to Manhattan where she was pursuing a career in finance. Margaux was a sweet, caring young woman and a friend to all who were lucky enough to know her.”
