It is looking like all hope may be gone!

Fox News is now also reporting that actress Natasha Richardson, who was critically injured while skiing on a beginner's slope in Canada on Monday, is brain dead.

Additionally, Fox News is reporting that Richardson is "being transported back to New York City before she is to be taken off life support."

A statement from Natasha's family is expected tomorrow, Wednesday.

So sad.

      THIS IS TYPICAL PEREZ TALKING OUT OF HIS FAT ASS AS PER USUAL!



    2. 102

      Seriously Perez, are you fucking stupid or something?? Don't you get that you shouldn't write this shit unless you know without a doubt it's happening or it's already happened?? How about you stop writing slanderous bullshit and just post when something actually happens or jesus himself comes and tells you her condition.

      AND EVERYONE IS STILL WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY. YOU FUCKED UPPPPP, SO ADMIT IT ASSHOLE.



    3. 103

      this is so very sad



    4. 104

      You have to take responsibility as well~weren't you the one that said others shouldn't post till they have their facts straight? You posted before the family out of their own mouths release a statement and you have had your site in a whirlwind over this story. Nutso!



    5. 105

      LISTEN PEOPLE THIS FAT ASS WANTS NOTHING MORE THEN TO BE THE FIRST TO BREAK THE NEWS, HE DOESN'T CARE IF ITS 100% ACCURATE, HES JUST ANOTHER ATTENTION WHORE. PEREZERS YOU SUCK ON SOOO MANY LEVELS, GO CHILL WITH LADY CACA AND HOPEFULLY BOTH OF YOU WILL FADE SOON



    6. 106

      Oh and the best part of this…you write "so sad", yet you're more than happy to profit off this story, and all of the lies you're writing about her condition in order to get hits. Ugh you make me fucking sick.



    7. 107

      Re: aoifacRe: aoifac – Friends on set.



    8. 108

      To clarifty, FOX News doesn't own NY Post…they are both owned by the same parent company though.



    9. 109

      I appreciate Perez bringing all the gossip from around the web. I don't have time to search the web, but I want to know what is going on.

      Why do people that hate Perez so much hang around here and post all day? I guess it's that love/hate thing that won't go away. You have to secretly love him or you wouldn't click on his place.



    10. 110

      Why do you idiots get on here just to go off on what Perez says? Get a fucking life! He is just going by what other sources are saying. So he's been wrong, but at least he's correcting himself.



    11. 111

      Please sure aren't Fox news the ones who called the election for Bush and believed and reported on WMD??!?!?! How reliable are they!

      The story may develop tomorrow to good or bad news but what is really getting me and would make me take legal action if I was a family member is the RIP notice put up which hours later despite requests/demands/retractions (not Perez's though) it is still up and available to read.

      Get a life, you are updating your site so why can't you remove a clearly upsetting and unconfirmed report????



    12. 112

      I really hope Perez is wrong, poor Natasha…so sad. I'm just hoping Perez is being his usually reliable self. Remember this is the man who quotes Star magazine on a regular basis!! He is not a frequent fact checker.



    13. 113

      If this is true then it's awful & so sad!



    14. 114

      This is so so sad!! Terrible actually .
      I wish all the best to Liam and her kids , really .
      Rest in peace Natasha



    15. 115

      Ummmm….the latest I read is that she has swelling of the brain and isn't brain dead..



    16. 116

      this is way crazy could you imagine falling and getting back up thinking you were ok laughing it off and within the hour being on life support this is awful I feel for her family



    17. 117

      This should not be "gossip", it should be world news. I hope this is inaccurate. How could this happen? I am heart-sick. Sending thoughts of love and support to her family and close friends. This is a tragedy.



    18. 118

      That contradicts what I just read on the news. They said she walked away from the accident talking and joking but fell ill later. It also made it sound like she wasn't doing that poorly. I hope it isn't true. She's a really great actress.



    19. 119

      This truly is so sad. Knowing that she was skiing with her boys…and now…this. I am sending my thoughts to her family during these truly hard days.



    20. 120

      Everyone who posted anything like lmao crap should be ashamed. I don't know her, but it's a tragedy for her friends & family. However, if she is transported to the states, I do hope she is a organ donor so that her life can help save others in need.



    21. 121

      If that is true…then my heart goes out to her and her family.



    22. 122

      So very sorry for the family. My thoughts and prayers.



    23. 123

      This is so sad. but something sounds a bit off. She acted fine after she fell, yet they took her off the slopes and sent her home? now she's dying? I've never heard of this. But this is devastating. Always, Always, always wear a helmet. Even if you are a beginner or expert. Once I hurt my head ( not NEARLY as bad as this, but my head did get cut and bled a while) because I did not wear a helmet. it was my first day ever skiing, and I had no clue i'd need one. now I know. SO WEAR A HELMET



    24. 124

      Ok. I just finally got ahold of my great-aunt, who is a nurse in Queens, she is alsoa nurse who comes into other cities for emergemcy care, she was there during 9-11, and she is in the loop. She said that Natasha is not going to make it, that her brain actually swelled into her spinal column, and there is no going back from that. They are holding the press conference tommorow in the hopes that people will leave them alone today to do what they have to do for her and her family and kids. Maybe we should all quit commenting and give them what they need to get thru this shocking horribe time. I for one will not comment on one more post about her or Jade. No matter what someone does in real life, in death they do deserve dignity



    25. 125

      Re: vivalamoi
      Also, you claim to be a "gossip reporter" but really all you do is take info from other sights and report with commentary. Get better sources! How dare you pronounce her dead before you were sure it was true. I'd never heard of the source you cited, so get it from a reliable source, and don't blame it on everyone else.



    26. 126

      Re: Veuve Clicquot – Thank you Veuve Clicquot - my favourite champagne. I took notes, it is all very clever and it made me LMAO. Thanks also to bball93 for answering. I'm getting an education here. Ciao !



    27. 127

      Natasha richardson has such a sweet charm
      & she's a wonderful actress

      so sad..



    28. 128

      Re: Cleopatra – My comments did not mean to be disrespectful towards Natasha and her family, I just wanted to know what all those letters meant. Now I know and this is no occasion to use them. Thank you for understanding.



    29. 129

      Some other sources have said she's still alive but it doesn't look good. The doctors have sedated her because of brain swelling. I guess we just have to wait and see what the official word is.



    30. 130

      Re: LeoNa$ GHo$t – agreed…..life's too short….this one wants me to p/u the peace pipe……tragic…….one of the few class acts left in tinseltown :(



    31. 131

      BRAIN DEAD? Isn't that pretty normal for a female?



    32. 132

      Re: **GIRLCARDINALSFAN** – I'm sure your aunt is a good nurse, but if her insider info is in fact correct she violated HIPAA policy, and so should do a bit of rethinking of how she conducts herself as she goes about her job, and perhaps a refresher course on the legalities of it.



    33. 133

      Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
      I haven't been on perez all day (blocked at work)
      but no other news outlet is saying she's brain dead!
      I pray that she's not!
      I love her! And her sister (Nip/Tuck)! And her mother!!
      I hope I hope I hope I hope she's ok!!!!!!!!
      I've said a few prayers for her today - and I'm not a prayer..



    34. 134

      Shame on you for reporting that she died! I thought you were better than that!



    35. 135

      Oh my god!! That is soooooooo sad. Poor liam niessen..



    36. 136

      omg NO!
      SHE WAS IN PARENT TRAP!!
      CHILDHOOD MEMORIES*!*



    37. 137

      Please - - let us hope and pray that her family sees fit to donate her organs to save other lives. "ER" last week was all about this very issue - a tragic loss does not mean it ends there. Donating organs is such a lasting gift that so many other people can benefit from. Let everyone out there take a moment to understand this and if this happens in your own family, be prepared… talk about this with your loved ones and if at all possible, be a participant in the Organ Donation Registry in your home state so that the doctors and hospitals can know as soon as possible that your final wish was to save a life.



    38. 138

      Fox is accurate on it's reporting so take note Perez. Fair, balanced, and accurate is the way to be.



    39. 139

      Re: Cleopatra – Laughing My Ass Off =LMAO



    40. 140

      Trustmeimanurse-You shouls be dibarred for dressing like that, as you'reright you are held to higher standards. You just make all nurses look sluts. Now to my aunt, she told me that in the sticktese of confidence that I broke. And do not sit there for a minute you on your high horse and pretend you do not tell anyone you know including family, things you know from the hospital. If you try to WE will all know you are a slutty nurse liar. I doubt you are a nurse or you would not embarress your nursing sisters the way you do. Fuck off, Bitch!



    41. 141

      E! Online reports that she is brain dead and that if she was just suffering from brain swelling and was alive, she would not be put on a plane with air pressure changes. Also, OK Magazine is reporting that she has died.



    42. 142

      sounds like she popped an aneurism???



    43. 143

      Aweeee. This makes me sad, my thoughts go out too her !



    44. 144

      what kind of "beginners" slope kills people?



    45. 145

      Re: ruunyi – omg….how old are you???……..SHE was the mom in the parent trap in your childhood memories?……i think it's past your bed time……….on second thought……..lindsay was actually a cute little child actress in that flick…..maybe it's past my bedtime…..sigh



    46. 146

      Are you fucking stupid? Read some other news sources, they don't put brain dead people on a plane and fly them back to the U.S.



    47. 147

    48. 148

      Fox News or Fox Noise…not good source. Think before you post…you need to apologize for saying she was dead too. I like your site, but this is insane.



    49. 149

      Re: **GIRLCARDINALSFAN** – Ye dear you are right, these really are my work clothes. Nice uniform, don't you think? I also would never say anything like you looked just like a red bird instead of a human. And for the record, I truly consider medical information to be a privileged part of my job. Now, to educate you a bit, I can't be "disbarred" because I'm not a lawyer. I do hold the priviliged information of my job in the "sticktease" of confidence, not even telling my husband, something I am sure you don't have. Did I mention I am a HIPAA compliance officer? You think I am a slutty nurse and am an "embarressment" to my profession. Reading your posts, I am certain education is not yours or you too would be an "embarressment" to yours. At least you spelled fuck off correctly. Bravo bird woman!



    50. 150

      i really really really hope she recovers.
      this is one of the shitiest news i had all day…



    51. 151

      TRUSTME—– Oh, thank you, you just set me in my place……not! Go fuck yourself and try to dress and act like a real nurse would. And I am very proud of my birdhead. If I were to put a picture of myself,which I truely doubt that is you, people would just stare and never post. I am a georgeous married woman with 4 kids and the same looks and figure I had in highschool. I dont want me up here for that reason alone. Plus I am just not at all into self-promotion, it can and does cause trouble. you go home with your real fatass self and beg hubby for sex, which you wont get. While my husband will already be waiting for me for the best sex ever. Kids are all out tonite. Love spring break. I am done with you now!



    52. 152

      that is the saddest thing i've ever heard.

    54. 154

      Perez, you have been so long on this.
      Why go to NYC to get off life support?

      Stop reporting on this. Seriously.



    55. 155

      Fuck your self Mario and fuck teddy while your at it



    56. 156

      Re: p!nkrocks

      it is very likely that she thought initially she was OK—brain injuries are hard to detect immediately after, but later on can end w/ poor outcomes. (im in the med profession). FYI, anytime you hit your head, even riding a bike, you should go get checked out with a doctor. It's better to be safe than sorry.

      Holy Crap! She got up & walked away from this & now this?? HORRIBLE!!



    59. 159

      Re: iwanttobeacullen

      She didn't die from skiing per se… she hit her head. Perhaps there's more to it than the "accident". I'm not sure if aneurysm can cause swelling of the brain tissue into the spinal column but then again, I'm no neurosurgeon. She's way too young to die. Bless her.



    60. 160

      TMZ says there is NO confirmation she is brain dead. Have some respect. This is not Jade Goody ,but a respected member of a respected family.



    61. 161

      Re: **GIRLCARDINALSFAN**

      You are so right..THIS time Perez has gone far too far.He has no dignity whatsoever.Disgusting



    62. 162

      Its creepy to say rest in peace before the person is dead. Hopefully its not true.



    63. 163

      Re: LeoNa$ GHo$t
      I was responding to #102. I talk to you. You just don't always like what I have to say but most everyone else here doesn't either.

    65. 165

      Sad =(



    66. 166

      Nobody else except Fox News and you is reporting this… I hope for her family's sake, you're wrong.



    67. 167

      This is terrible. Her poor children.



    68. 168

      OMG too sad :( May God bless her family and RIP. A tremendous talent gone too soon.



    69. 169

      What??? Fox News??? They're suddenly a source for reliable news??? I thought you thought they're nothing more than a bunch of conservative assholes that no one should watch!!! Fucking hypocrites!!! Why are so many liberals watching Fox News???? Hmmmmmmm



    70. 170

      Just too Sad!



    71. 171

      Oh how sad & tragic. :(
      Prayers go out to her family to help them get through this difficult time…



    72. 172

      Brain dead-eh? Life support-eh?

      That is not what is being reported in Canada. The brain dead thing is hilarious. Not so sure whether her being on life support is fact or not.

      I tell ya what though buddy,a spinal injury might not be out of the question, or perhaps a neck injury.

      Also, Natasha was taken to hospital only after she complained of not feeling well. That was about one hour after she had her accident, and accident by the way that has been described as rather unspectacular.

      She's in the New York now. No word though if the life support Fox News claims she was on was disconnected before she was put aboard a plane.

      Brain dead… Fox News and Perez are hilarious man.



    73. 173

      Another reminder that life is fleeting and what we hold dearest could be taken away from us at any moment. So ask yourself what you would want to be remembered for? And what have you done to help make this world a better place? Realize that everything you do is important and don't squander your gift of life.
      Sending loving thoughts to Natasha, her family and the thousands of other people who find themselves in similar circumstances.



    74. 174

      Sad! God bless her family and other loved ones.



    75. 175

      This is so sad and senseless. She should have been wearing a helmet. Damn French Canadians!!! Now two young boys will grow up without a mother.



    76. 176

      You better have your fact straight you saggy fucking queer



    77. 177

      This is so sad.
      I read that she was ok after the fall but later in her hotel room she became ill
      How did it go from that to being brain dead and on life support?



    78. 178

      Re: Cleopatra
      It means laughing my ass off



    79. 179

      1 Word: SAD!



    80. 180

      Idiots who keep saying they don't know who she is- SHE IS FROM ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED AND RESPECTED FAMILY ACTING DYNASTIES IN THE WORLD- MOSTLY THE UK. Have some respect… it doesn't make sense when something like this happens to her and not a famewhoring moron like paris hilton or lindsay lohan..or maybe perez because that could make the world a much better place.

      Re: **GIRLCARDINALSFAN** – Your aunt should be stripped of her certification to practice. I think you made it up for your own insecure reasons but on the off-chance that it is real, ask Auntie if she ever heard of HIPPA? She must be a lousy nurse.
