During This Painful Time…

Filed under: Cameron Diaz > Inspiration

Let's do our part to help Cameron Diaz cope with the sudden and tragic death of her father, Emilio, from pneumonia this past week.

In lieu of flowers, the Diaz Family has suggested donations to The Surfrider Foundation or Reef Check in Emilio's name.

Perez has just donated to both, and we encourage you to do the same!

Homeless man finds plans for New York City's Freedom Tower in a corner on 9/11.

The government agency building a 102-story skyscraper at the World Trade Center site is investigating the discovery of two sets of blueprints for the building that a homeless man says he found.

The schematic documents for the Freedom Tower, under construction at ground zero, were marked "Secure Document — Confidential," .

The documents, dated Oct. 5, 2007, contain plans for each floor, the thickness of the concrete-core wall, and the location of air ducts, elevators, electrical systems and support columns, reported.

large suicide bombings targeting Americans overseas.

"Increasingly, we are seeing the globalization of suicide bombs, no longer confined to conflict zones but happening anywhere,"

The unpublished data show that since 1983, bombers in more than 50 groups from Argentina to Algeria, Croatia to China, and India to Indonesia have adapted car bombs to make explosive belts, vests, toys, motorcycles, bikes, boats, backpacks and false-pregnancy stomachs.

Of 1,840 incidents in the past 25 years, more than 86 percent have occurred since 2001, and the highest annual numbers have occurred in the past four years. The sources who provided the data to The Washington Post asked that they not be identified because of the sensitivity of the tallies.
The data show more than 920 suicide bombings in Iraq and more than 260 in Afghanistan, including some that killed scores of U.S. troops. All occurred after the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003.

The exact number of U.S. casualties from the bombs in Iraq is classified "because it might show the effectiveness of the enemy's weapon," said Maj. Brad Leighton, a U.S. spokesman in Iraq. "They won't even give the number to me."

Just because Cameron Diaz is a celebrity we should be all upset that her father passed? Unkown people's fathers are dying every day in every hospital in this country and we are supposed to donate money because ONE celebrity's father has tragically passed away?

wtf?

I'm sorry for her loss. However, I would not send her flowers, I don't know her. And rich Cameron Diaz and rich Perez Hilton can donate all the money they want, I'll choose my own charity.

The new caring Perez Hilton comes across as PHONY. You can re-brand all you want, you'll always be the guy who drew cum on People's faces. You're no Oprah.

I do feel sympathy for anyone when there is a death in the family, but I'm sure there are celebritys whos loved ones had died in the past and you haven't mentioned them. I'm pleased that you are donating to their charities but is it just because her father is cuban?

Good stuff! I'm always so happy to donate in memory, and at least this is important, for everyone complaining about Perez saying he did, who cares it will help. It's just a money competition with flowers, "Hey I send a big wreath that cost a lot, whoo hoo, look at me!" What, like a dead person can see them?

Why not donate to causes just because and NOT because some idiot actress' dad, who no of us knew died. Your logic is fucking ridiculous. Oh, you're sooooo great for donating to these charities perez. Maybe you should do some good work by not talking shit about all these stupid celebrities and get a REAL job.

You'll latch on to any "worthy cause" in order to try and rehabilitate that image, eh? Can't do anything good and noble just for the sake of doing the right thing, without having to mention it to everybody else, right?

Even when doing the right thing, you do it the wrong way.
Geeze says – reply to this

58

Why are you REALLY donating?
Maybe trying to make everyone forget the AWFUL and HURTFUL things you've said about Cameron??
I bet her father HATED you for making fun of her daughter like that. I'm sure him and his family would rather not have received money from you at all

Perez says "Let's do our part to help Cameron Diaz cope with the sudden and tragic death of her father, Emilio, from pneumonia this past week."

The totally understand the overall intent, but there seems to be something obscene about a call to do "our part" for Cameron Diaz. We have a responsibitlity to Cameron Diaz? Cameron Diaz? Are we talking about the rich, Hollywood A-list celebrity or some other Cameron? Perhaps a helpless Bangladeshi mired in extreme poverty and third-world corruption?

71

You act as if you don't say horrible things about her all the time. Good for you for giving to charity and urging others to do so…but the sudden chumminess and sympathy seem a little two-faced to me…and your motives appear to be selfish, as if you are taking advantage of the situation (and Diaz) in order to come off well to others.

My condolences goes out to he, but WTF why would I wanan send $$$ to CD father's charity . That is of no significance to me.. furthermore we are not madr out of $$$ like Perez. Why dont you promt us to donate to causes that are worth donating to.. like starving children? Perez you are such a Celebrity ass kisser!
Jennifer says – reply to this

75

It's always great to donate to charities, but I do not see the reason in donating to a charity just because Cameron Diaz's father just died. People suffer and die everyday, and they do not have filthy rich daughters to cover their expenses, how about think of those people?
nikki says – reply to this

76

My father died 9 days from being diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. Did anyone donate on HIS behalf? No, he is just another statistic. Hence why should I donate for someone who I did not know -especially the family member of a celebrity? I can guarantee she'd have no problem ripping to shreds my choice of charity, which would be a PRO-LIFE charity.
Quit kissing butt. Help people who really need it.
Danny says – reply to this

This post just shows how vain and sick Perez really is. He will exploit the death of someone he doesn't even know to give himself an opportunity to pat himself on the back by donating to charity. Please! Perez has to be the most insincere person on the planet.

ItIsWhatItIs says – reply to this

84

Ok - I just don't get a lot of these complaints. If Perez didn't say he donated, you'd be trashing him because he's asking you to donate when he didn't, and he's rich. Yes, he has more money than most of us, but since when is it a crime to make money? If you don't like him making money, don't come to his site, your visits make him rich. Secondly, this is his career. What you read might or might not be the "real" him. If he started writing kind, boring stuff on celebs all the time he'd loose his readers. We all like his style, trashy or not, and it's why we come back. Maybe in real life he's nice, maybe he's not. Who cares, his site rocks. It's funny, and makes you forget the messy real world. Finally, you don't have to donate to the same places he does, but at least follow the example and donate money or time to a good cause. Everyone has time to share - and you get what you give in life. Ok, off my soapbox. Perez, I love your site like poor girls love rhinestones. HAHA

Cameron is rich. Why should strangers who are not rich be asked to donate to save the beach causes? How about this, Perez, lets all donate to the American Lung Association so that research can be done so that more people like her father can be saved. That would be a more important cause and benefit society.
blahblah says – reply to this

87

I agree- why should we no rich people donate to a super rich person's because her father died? i a msorry her father died- ANYBODY's father died- but just because you gave money and ridiculed most every celebrity and now are a "good" guy (ha) - we should empty our wallets?

It is very sad that she lost her father, however with all her money and support, and the fact that she is over 30, I'm sure she will be ok.
I think that its great when you encourage people to support certain charities, however in this case it seems like you are just trying to make yourself look good.
Most people out there can't even support their own medical costs, I'm sure that Cameron has enough to donate herself.

Anyways, I wish you would stop being a star's friend one day and the next shattering them to bits, pick a side and stick with it, you come across as fake.

'Very Psychotic' Madonna Stalker Escapes From Mental Hospital!

This is terrifying!

Very early this morning, the Los Angeles Police Department announced that 54-year-old Robert Dewey Hoskins, a man who was convicted of stalking and threatening Madonna, has escaped from a mental hospital in Norwalk, CA.

The LAPD are describing the man as follows:

"...A very psychotic man when not taking his medication and has very violent tendencies."

According to the LAPD, Hoskins served 10 years in prison for his actions against Madonna, and he was placed in the Norwalk mental hospital after "an additional run-in with police."

Stay safe, Madonna! We know the police are doing everything in their power to find this dangerous man!
