Captain Phil Harris Has Died


Phil Harris, the captain of the Cornelia Marie, on Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch," has died. He was 53. Harris suffered a stroke on Jan. 30.

"It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad," Harris' sons, Jake and Josh, said in a statement. "Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end. For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down. We will remember and celebrate that strength. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers."

Today's Blind Items

When you are working on a television show the hours are very long and people get to know each other very well. Some get to know each other even more than normal. This new hit network show is one of my favorites and if you have seen it then it is probably one of yours also. Well, on the show there is a C list actor who really has a B list body of work. He is married and has been for awhile. Also on the show is an actress who is much, much younger than our actor but it hasn't stopped them from spending every free moment together in his trailer. She is legal. Barely.

Random Photos Part Three

The top spot today goes to the little Pretty Woman reunion with Garry Marshall and Julia Roberts. He also directed valentine's Day. Garry is kissing Emma Roberts and also along for the photo is Shirley MacLaine who is in Valentine's Day and of course was in Steel Magnolias with Julia Roberts.
Anne Hathaway has found her armpit.
Apparently it was lost for a little while.
Finally, Anthony Hopkins showed up for some Wolfman press.
Alicia Keys filming a video in Brazil, because umm, she wanted a free trip?
Bradley Cooper wins the uneven spray tan award of the day.
Brooklyn Decker gets the cover spot for the swimsuit issue. Her husband Andy Roddick is probably very happy.
Cate Blanchett and her husband.
Corinne Bailey Rae - London
2econd Stage Theatre had their annual bowling fundraiser and I was trying to decide who I would want to have as my partner. I think I would pick Chloe Sevigny.
Oh, maybe Tony Shaloub though. We could talk about Monk and Wings and if Rip Torn got really drunk on Men In Black.
I think Chloe would be more likely to drink shots though during it so I will have to go with her.
Coming in third is Patricia Richardson. I would like some Home Improvement stories but I don't know if she would spill.
If she loses Dylan Baker I would definitely hang out with Jessica Hecht. She is one of my favorites.

Random Photos Part Two

In case you were wondering what Drew Brees looked like when he showered after the Super Bowl. Apparently he gets excited about Dove.
Fully clothed this time at Disney World.
David Beckham with the brood in Milan. Notice that Cruz obviously wants to go play some soccer.
How much grey hair has Eric Dane acquired since Rebecca Gayheart became pregnant. They are having a daughter.
George Lopez and Jamie Foxx at the Valentine's Day premiere. The movie hasn't even opened yet and the studio is already talking sequel.
Alas, all vacations must end. Gerard, Courteney and Jen making their way to the plane.
I think Jennifer Garner wins in this competition with Jessica Biel.
Although, Jessica Alba might beat them both.
Jewel goes with the more traditional red carpet look.
I love how VH-1 releases the before photos now for Celebrity Fit Club. So, if I read this correctly they want Kevin to drop to the same weight that
Bobby Brown is currently even though they are only one inch apart in height.
Jay from Project Runway.
I actually think Nicole Eggert looks fine and 20 pounds seems like a lot of weight.

Random Photos Part One

I think there will actually be three parts today. That being said, I doubt if any of you would complain if Patrick Dempsey was on top. It kind of sounds sexual when you say it like that. Probably not finding my last comment humorous is his wife Jill Fink who is standing next to him.
Jake Gyllenhaal at the Lakers game last night looking as if he is in almost a dream like state watching the players.
Yeah, Lindsay Lohan as Jesus.
Matt Damon on the set of his new movie.
The end of an era. Almost thirty years and the music in MTV is no longer. Yes, I know it hasn't been the main part of the network in a long time but to see it removed from the new logo shows it is never coming back.

Rupert Friend scares me. He looks like a Scooby Doo ghost.
Aww nothing like going on a double date with mom and the step dad who appears to be younger than the boyfriend. Hell, the mom looks younger than the whole damn bunch.
Thew New York Rangers had a casino night. In other words it was probably a good excuse for Sean Avery to get drunk and tell Elisha Cuthbert and Rachel Hunter stories. Classy.
Simon Cowell's new girlfriend.
Her name is Mezghan Hussainy.
Tommy Davidson and Margaret Cho at a premiere. Nice of Tommy to get dressed up.
Apparently in the UK they have some kind of pancake flipping race between members of Parliament. So, if they drop them on the ground does the three second rule still apply? Is that just for indoors?
