Breakfast At Tiffany’s Actor Dies
Jose Luis de Vilallonga, an author, aristocrat and actor who shared the silver screen with Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” died Thursday at his home on the island of Mallorca. He was 87.
A colorful character in Spain’s high society, Vilallonga worked as a journalist for the national press agency EFE and for the magazines Paris-Match, Marie-Claire and Vogue. He wrote an official biography of Spain’s King Juan Carlos that was published in 1993.
A high point in his acting career came when he starred as Jose da Silva Pereira, the dashing Brazilian multimillionaire who Holly Golightly planned to marry in Blake Edwards’ 1961 classic movie.

He is survived by children John and Carmen from his first marriage and an adopted son Fabricio.

The Perfect Lighting
Doesn’t it make you wonder sometimes? Britney Spears always finds a place where the paparazzi is waiting, where there is room to move around and strike the pose she is looking for and the lighting is always perfect. Why does it always happen this way? I bet most of the places she goes have seagull lighting, which provides the perfect conditions for all those photographers ready to capture the latest picture of her butt hanging out.

The Second Anniversary Of Katrina
On this second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s landfall, please take a moment to remember the victims. More than 1.1 million volunteers have responded to help but more are still needed, and many homes have still not been rebuilt.
Oh sure, everyone knows about the “refugees” of Hurricane Katrina, and many of us, myself included, have our own horror stories about “non-victims” who attempted to take advantage of the system or even demanded that people “take care of them”. But I am not concerned with those people now, as they have disappeared back into the slimy little holes they crawled out of. The people I am concerned about are the real victims of Katrina. The people who took all the proper precautions and fled when they knew the storm was bearing down on them.
Since the day of the disaster, Americans have donated over 14 million hours of volunteer service to help rebuild New Orleans and the other affected areas. This has been the single biggest volunteer response to a disaster in our nation’s history, but there are still many jobs to be done, lots of work to be completed, and many people who still cannot return to their homes.
Several people I know had homes in the affected areas, and luckily most of them have been able to return or have settled elsewhere around the country, but let’s take a moment out of our day and do what we can to help. Heck, I’m not asking you to volunteer, or even donate money, I’m simply asking you to help raise awareness so others will remember as well.
Toni Braxton Fighting Breast Cancer
I know I am a little late on this one, but according to the National Enquirer, Toni Braxton has been battling breast cancer.
Apparently, she received the diagnosis two months ago and chose to keep her battle secret until doctors assured her that she had discovered the disease early enough to beat it.
I wish nothing but the best for Toni.
Big Plans This Weekend
I have big plans this coming weekend. No, I won’t be celebrating at a Labor Day parade, instead I will be laboring and installing Delta faucetsin our basement bathroom. That is, if the wife decides that’s what she really wants down there.
Wish me luck. Everytime I head to the basement for a weekend project, I end up down there for the entire weekend.
