The photo of comedian Robert Schimmel after his accident has hit the airwaves. That doesn’t mean that it is necessarily something that many folks will want to see. Not every piece of media was made for the world to see. If you haven’t followed the story, the Robert Schmimmel photo is definitely not one on the must-see list.

The comedian and his daughter were in Arizona on August 26, 2010 when his daughter tried to avoid a collision. The car she was driving with her father as a passenger flipped multiple times. Aliyah was injured but her father simply couldn’t withstand the trauma. Now, the world is scrutinizing the Robert Schimmel photo with little respect to his daughter or his family.

Fellow comedians have spoke out about their peer. Jimmy Kimmel tweeted that Schimmel was one of the funniest and nicest guys in comedy. Other fans and celebrities indicate that they have been watching the news closely hoping that the news of his death weren’t true. However, if you decide to take a look at the Robert Schimmel photo, you will surely understand how the injuries were just too much for him to battle through.

A remake of Grease starring Justin Bieber as Danny Zuko and Miley Cyrus as Sandra Dee? Sounds like a movie made in Disney Channel heaven! The pairing is sure to cause young girls to swoon and their parents to groan.

The rumors of a potential remake started last week when Bieber was quoted as saying, “It would be a lot of fun. It’s been talked about a lot over the years but it would be awesome to play Danny. If I had to pick my perfect Sandy I would go for Miley Cyrus without hesitation. She can sing, dance and act.”

But guess what….


Bieber completely denies the quote and says he has no interest in teaming up with Cyrus to remake the iconic film.

Instead of trying to hit the mainstream (non pre-teen) audience, Bieber is focusing on his tween market and heading to the big screen in Bieber 3D, a biopic of his life which is scheduled to premiere in February.

Paul Conrad, a longtime political cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times, died on Saturday of natural causes. He was 86. Long considered one of the Times’ best-known journalists—he won three Pulitzer prizes for his cartoons—his favorite accomplishment was to have been included on President Richard Nixon’s enemies list. As L.A. Observed’s Kevin Roderick describes him, “He was liberal but skewered almost everybody, and he famously had independence from the editor and publisher, who would regularly get calls from this or that mayor, senator or president demanding that Conrad be stopped.” An exhibit of his work opened this week at College of the Canyons in Valencia, California.

Comedian Robert Schimmel died at 60 last night in Phoenix due to injuries he sustained in a car accident last week, reports TMZ. He was in a serious crash while riding as a passenger in a car with his 19-year-old daughter, who swerved to avoid an accident.
His daughter is still in the hospital, but reportedly will be okay. His son was allegedly in the car as well, but walked away from the crash relatively unharmed.

Schimmel was a frequent guest on Howard Stern's radio show, and also Late Night with Conan O'Brien. He wrote a memoir chronicling his battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma called Cancer on $5 A Day.

Comedian Robert Schimmel, perhaps best known for his work on "The Howard Stern Show," was involved in a car accident in Arizona on Thrusday and is currently in "very serious" condition.

Schimmel's 19-year-old daughter was reportedly driving at the time and the comedian was in the passenger seat. Sources say the daughter swerved to avoid a collision in her driving lane and the automobile rolled over on to the side of the freeway.

According to TMZ, who first reported the accident, Schimmel's daughter was hospitalized and is in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery. His 11-year-old son was also in the car; he was released without injuries the same day.

Schimmel is still in the hospital and in "very serious" condition, with his family at his bedside.

Schimmel has released a number of comedy albums. He is also a cancer survivor who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2000 and underwent chemotherapy. He wrote the book "Caner on $5 a Day (chemo not included): How Humor Got Me Through The Toughest Journey of My Life" about his struggle with the disease.

Who is Elizabeth Olsen and where have those Olsen twins been hiding her? Well, it turns out that Mary-Kate and Ashley's little sis Elizabeth has been in the public eye from a young age, we just never paid her much attention. Which is odd, given how much she resembles her famous sisters. Now the 21-year-old is set to star in a movie and should gain public attention with her own success.

Elizabeth Olsen Set to Star in Indie Flick

According to Reuters, Elizabeth Olsen (also known as Lizzie Olsen) has just finished shooting "Peace, Love and Misunderstanding," where she plays Jane Fonda's character's granddaughter, Zoe. During filming, Fonda noted on her blog that "when her face is seen on the screen in this movie it'll be hard for her not to do more films."

Turns out Fonda is right, as Olsen is set to star in the indie film "Martha Marcy May Marlene." This Sundance-developed film follows Martha as she escapes a cult and moves in with her older sister.

Since the Olsen twins haven't had major acting roles in years (although Mary-Kate has a small, but pivitol role in next year's "Beastly"), it looks like Elizabeth may have the limelight largely to herself.

Elizabeth Olsen Had Bit Parts in Twin's Movies

Far from hiding their younger sister from the public eye, the Olsen twins have actually let her have small roles in their movies. According to IMDb, Elizabeth Olsen has appeared in at least five "The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley" films from 1993 to 1996. One of these is "The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley:The Case of the Mystery Cruise" (1995). She played herself (Lizzie Olsen) in these films.

Olsen also played 'girl in car' in Mary Kate and Ashley's 1994 television movie "How the West Was Fun."

Further Proof the Olsen Twins Weren't Hiding Elizabeth

There is even more proof, despite the shock of Elizabeth's existence, that the twins weren't stashing her away. Their fashion line "The Row" has a spin-off called "Elizabeth + James." Both are names of their younger siblings.

Jennifer Aniston is being crucified by gossip sites as she was seen dating with the ex-boyfriend of Lindsay Lohan. We are referring to Hard Rock Café scion Harry Morton as they were sweetly having dinner at the Sunset Tower hotel.

Does Jen have it bad that she’s picking up Lindsay Lohan’s scraps? In fact, Jennifer Aniston seems to be enamored with Morton as she was photographed caressing his arms while they were dining. Another thing is that Morton is 12 years younger than Jennifer Aniston. Oh well, if she’s happy with him, who are we to get in the way?

Jennifer Anniston, the lead actress in the film The Switch, was quite disappointed with the change of the film’s title.

During the premiere night of her newest film The Switch, she expressed that the original title of the film, The Baster, was more “cool” than the changed title. The new title went through 375 tests and meetings and focus group discussions. Anniston conveys that she is more comfortable with having The Baster as the title.

The movie revolves around the story of a single woman who wanted to have a baby, not with the means of natural sexual reproduction, but only from a sperm donor.

Jennifer Anniston, who was popularly known in her stint in Friends, attended at the first screening of the film wearing a strapless mini-dress. The actress was accompanied by co-actor Jason Bateman at the Arclight Theatre.

Anniston states, “I wished it was still called The Baster, it changed because of 375 tests and meetings and focus groups. Cool names like The Baster get switched to The Switch.”

The film, particularly Jennifer Anniston, was accused to be imparting negative message to the public. Critics say that the Anniston is showing the public that the concept of having a father is not anymore significant in a family.

Furthermore, Anniston went through some controversy after she said that the movie “demonstrated that men are no longer a necessary ingredient in forming a family.”

Most red blooded males might greet the opportunity of a kiss from stunning Gossip Girl star Katie Cassidy with rather more enthusiasm.
But Chace Crawford couldn't have looked less bothered as the actress made a move on him on the set of the hit U.S. show.
The pair were pictured sat on a park bench on location in New York yesterday shooting scenes for season four, which premieres later this year.
But when 23-year-old Cassidy - who plays Crawford's character Nate Archibald's new love interest, Juliet Sharp - moved in for the kill, he looked half asleep.
Cassidy, the new sassy student at Columbia University, is seen walking away from Chace in the scene, perhaps unimpressed by his lacklustre efforts.
The former Melrose Place actress looked hot to trot, wearing a a very short grey dress with zip detailing.
Meanwhile, across town a passionate Matt Bomer could have taught 25-year-old Chace a lesson or two as he shared a very steamy kiss with his White Collar co-star Alexandra Daddario - also on a park bench.
With his hands wrapped around her face Boner, 32, who plays FBI consultant Neal Caffrey in the show, certainly appeared to be enjoying himself as he shot scenes for the second season.
Cassidy previously worked with fellow Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg in the remake of Black Christmas and will be starring with Leighton Meester in new movie Monte Carlo.

Depending on who you ask, either the Marlins or Nationals were in gross violation of baseball etiquette Wednesday.

Everybody knew Nyjer Morgan was going to wear one. Tuesday, he steamrolled catcher Brett Hayes, causing a separated shoulder on a play where a slide would have sufficed. As expected, Volstad in the fourth inning hit Morgan at the belt and for a moment it seemed that where it would end.

Instead, Morgan in the Marlins’ estimation spat on the game’s unwritten code. The speedy Morgan stole second and third despite the fact the Nationals trailed 14-3 at the time. The Marlins were holding him on. Volstad didn’t admit to it, but Wes Helms confirmed Morgan running didn’t sit well.

“I think that’s the only reason we tried to go after him a second time,” Helms said. “Since he stole the bases, I think it pumped us up a little more and got to Volstad a little bit. We just have to stick together as a team and let them know we’re not going to stand for that. We’re a professional team. We’re not going to let that happen to us and we wouldn’t do it ourselves.

“I cannot stand when a guy shows somebody up or show the integrity of the game up to the fans or whatever. There’s just no place in baseball for that. In my opinion, you’re going to get what’s coming to you if you do that. Tonight, it was time we had to show him we weren’t going to put up with the way he was treating us, but also with the way he was trying to take bases down 10 runs. After he got hit, you know why he did it…I can’t really say anything good about a guy that doesn’t play the game the right way and doesn’t play for the integrity of the game.”

Volstad zipped a pitch behind Morgan in the sixth and Morgan charged.

Here’s Nats manager Jim Riggleman’s take on the stolen bases: “My feeling has always been, if you hit somebody, then you did what you set out to do. You hit him, and now if he decides to run on you, that’s his business. I got no problem with that. We decide when we run. The Florida Marlins will not decide when we run. We will decide when we run. Nobody will decide when we run. I don’t put restrictions on when somebody else can run. That’s not in my control. But nobody’s going to put the controls on me as to when our club runs. If Nyjer decides to run, he ran. That’s his business. He felt that’s the way I’m going to get my payback. Sometimes some guys get it in the form of going in hard at somebody at second base on a double play. I’ve seen that many times. But Nyjer took his revenge in the form of a stolen base. And I don’t have any problem with it.”

Were the Marlins justified in trying to hit Morgan a second time? Or was Morgan required to go to first, tail tucked firmly between legs, and make no attempt to advance on his own considering the circumstances?
