Words to live by from Lena Horne...

"You have to be taught to be second class; you're not born that way...My identity is very clear to me now, I am a black woman, I'm not alone, I'm free...I don't have to be a symbol to anybody; I don't have to be a first to anybody. I don't have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I'd become. I'm me, and I'm like nobody else." RIP Lena Horne.

Nicholas Brendon; Buffy The Vampire Star Checks Into Rehab


Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Nicholas Brendon has checked into rehab.

Source says Nicholas suffered a blackout and doesn’t remember fighting with police. The only thing he remembered was being tased, which he described to our source: “Being tased is like being punched in the side by Rocky Balboa, the pain is so bad it runs up your spine,” he told the source.

Brendon, who played Xander on the popular TV vampire series, told a source “They realized who I was, but I didn’t get any special treatment.”

He was charged with felony vandalism and released on $20,000 bail. Recognizing he had a problem, the 38-year-old checked himself in the SOBA Recovery Center in Malibu.

“I’m feeling lucky because alcoholism effected my money management decisions and they are helping me,” Nicholas told the source, adding that he feels “really grateful.”

Brendon also told the source about another up side to the recovery program: “they have acting classes that focus on recovery.”

Brendon is focusing on his recovery and his work on the hit CBS show Criminal Minds and two animated films.

What the Gaga?

What the Gaga is Lady Gaga talking about?

Lady Gaga has been playing stadiums and arenas around the globe for months and will return to the U.S. on July 1 with her 'Monster Ball Tour.' Yesterday, the 'Poker Face' singer announced even more North American dates for 2011 -- but don't say she's working too hard. She addressed rumors her non-stop touring is wearing her out while performing 'Speechless' in Sweden.

"You know when people say, 'Lady Gaga's really tired, she needs to take a break,' I just think about all those times I sang in bars when nobody was singing my lyrics. I'll sleep when I'm dead, okay?"
