Completely Off-Topic / My One Year of My Journey to Recovery
« on: June 03, 2011, 08:43:55 pm »
I don't post much on here..but I've been a member since 2004 and I was on the o-boards for a few years before that..anyway..

I feel the need to brag. Today, one year ago I became a patient at the Renfrew center (a center for eating disorders). I was at a very low weight and I was extremely sick. I was there for 47 days where I gained weight, worked on myself, forgave the past, and began a new life. June, especially today is bittersweet. I gave up an addiction, a "best friend", and comfort but I also gave up death, extreme depression, anorexia, bulimia, and the feeling of only existing. I've been sick for many years and I still struggle to this day but I am so thankful for the time I spent at the hospital, it changed my life. I don't want to sound corny but Vanessa's music honestly helped me through meals, snacks, crying and everything in between those days. Anyway, I felt the need to brag a bit. I know there are some other men/women on here who struggle with eating disorders, as I've seen some random mentioning of it but I want to say recovery is possible. I may not be there or even close yet but I know I'm much closer than I was a year ago. I put in a lot of hard work these past 12 months and I hope to move on from this.

Q: What can we expect a new album from pop singer Vanessa Carlton?

She's working on one now. After traveling from New York to the Artic to London and back to the USA late last year, Carlton, 28, is officially "out of my cave," she tells us, and has written half of a new record, which she's producing herself: "I feel in control more than ever of how I'm going to connect my music to a stranger." Carlton, who had a huge hit with 2002's A Thousand Miles, also is thinking of scoring instrumental music for films. Her inspiration? John Williams' Jaws soundtrack and its famous two-note theme. "It's always stuck with me how music can alter the way you absorb a film."

Completely Off-Topic / Anna Nicole Smith Collapses and Dies 2-8-07

Anna Nicole Smith collapses and dies

By Michael Muskal
Times Staff Writer
Published February 8, 2007, 4:09 PM CST


Anna Nicole Smith, the Texas waitress who climbed into the top echelons of wealth and sexual glamour, died in Florida today, officials reported.

The former Playboy model and reality television star reportedly collapsed in her hotel room and was rushed to a hospital about 2 p.m. EST but was pronounced dead.


"At 2:49 this afternoon, we were advised by hospital personnel that Anna Nicole Smith had died. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family," Seminole Police Chief Charles Tiger told a televised news conference.

Smith, 39, collapsed at her hotel, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla, where she had been since Monday. Her nurse was in the room and called for help, Tiger said.

A bodyguard administered CPR at 1:45 p.m., but failed to revive Smith, Tiger said.

The cause of death will be determined by the Broward County medical examiner. The police will continue their investigation but are not treating the incident as a crime, he said.

It was a dramatic end to the life of the woman born Vickie Lynn Hogan in Houston on Nov. 28, 1967.

She was a woman who followed in the footsteps of Marilyn Monroe, a blond bombshell who combined sexuality with tragedy to become notorious.

She gained and lost weight while serving as a spokesperson for a weight-loss company. But it was her personal life, with more twists and turns than a B-movie, that gripped the public imagination.

After a stint as a waitress and a model, she shed her clothes in a sizzling Playboy centerfold and became the magazine's Playmate of the Year in 1993.

The next year, she married 89-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall after meeting him at a strip club.

Marshall died 14 months later, setting off a legal battle over his estate between Smith and her husband's son, E. Pierce Marshall. Marshall died last June.

Smith has had ongoing problems with her weight, but last May, a demure and thin Smith, dressed in black, attended a session at the U.S. Supreme Court over the estate.

The justices ruled that Smith could continue to pursue the inheritance in California courts.

Smith's son, Daniel, died last year in her hospital room in the Bahamas shortly after she gave birth to a daughter.

She had been embroiled in legal fights over the girl's paternity.

Smith was a spokeswoman for the weight loss product TrimSpa. Last month, the Federal Trade Commission announced that TrimSpa would pay $1.5 million to settle allegations that the company's claims about weight loss were untrue.

June 14, 2005—"No, I am not a pop princess [and my] current label doesn't realize this important tidbit," Vanessa Carlton told her fans on her official website message board recently, calling the execs at her label "shortsighted, nonmusical bastards," and claiming that "you can't sell records to someone in the middle of Indiana without a little help." Indeed. "Welcome to the music biz," she went on to say. But Carlton was already welcomed, very warmly, in late 2001 when her piano-driven debut single "A Thousand Miles" was pushed to radio and MTV, eventually hitting the Top 5 and driving sales of her first album, Be Not Nobody, past the one million mark. Her brand of earnest, singer/songwriter Tori-lite (and stop pretending it's not) was a welcomed alternative to the aforementioned "pop princesses" that ruled the charts in the late-late '90s.

The trouble began for Carlton in 2004, with the release of her second album, Harmonium, and its shoulda-been-a-hit lead single "White Houses." Whether it wasn't promoted adequately or audiences just didn't connect with the more mature, narrative style of the song, the label decided to let the album languish on store shelves with little support (while the likes of 50 Cent and the Ying Yang Twins are given full reign of the airwaves, Carlton's poignant account of virginity lost was banned by MTV for being too "sexually explicit"). Flash-forward several months and Carlton is on a mission to find a new home for her in-the-works third album. She could re-release the under-appreciated Harmonium on her own terms via an artist-friendly label like, say, the aptly-named Sanctuary Records, but judging by the singer's set-list at New York's The Living Room tonight, Carlton is itching to get her new tunes heard. She's looking to the future.

The short set was more like a showcase than a concert: The venue—about the size of a large, ahem, living room—was filled with a mix of hardcore fans (autographed Vanessa Carlton tees, digital camcorders, gift bags, and all), label scouts, and curious out-of-towners. Carlton probably hadn't found herself in this position of tongue-twisted judgment since before she signed her first record deal. She playfully mocked her stuttering intro to "Who's To Say," which she dedicated to "anyone in a relationship that's unapproved of by their mother or government," and joked about dressing like Stevie Nicks when she goes on tour with the Welch Witch this summer (for the record, she was sporting white boots that were very Stevie circa 1981). There were a handful of sour piano notes and some botched lyrics (during her final song "Twilight") but that only endeared her to the crowd even more.

Much of the second half of Carlton's set was devoted to new material, including the promising Linda Perry collaboration "This Time," during which Carlton flaunted a coarseness previously unheard in her often nymphish voice, "The One," and "Put Your Hands On Me"/"Dalai Lama" (she hasn't decided on the title yet, though I'd go for the former since apparently her mom doesn't like it). In fact, the provocative nature of the title—the song is actually more of a spiritual one—might just be the direction Carlton needs to go in to sustain her career. Singer/songwriter/pianists are a dime a dozen and one of the things Carlton's got going for her is her ability to tap into the fact that most teens are more earnest than disaffected, and her willingness to expose that delicate, naked, and unbridled sexual honesty of youth is a much-welcomed reprieve from hip-hop and pop music's hollow commodification of women and sex.
