Halyna Hutchins’ Final Words

Some of Halyna Hutchins’ final words following the accidental shooting incident involving her, Alec Baldwin and “Rust” director Joel Souza have been revealed.   She was killed on the New Mexico set after Baldwin discharged a firearm that he was led to believe contained no live ammunition, according to a search warrant executed by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s office. She was airlifted to the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she was eventually pronounced dead.   According to a report, a boom operator looked at Hutchins after she fell to the ground and said: “Oh, that was no good.” “No,” Hutchins replied. “That was no good. That was no good at all.”  She was later pronounced dead at the hospital, making the brief exchange with the sound person some of her final words.   “I was looking right at her, I could see an exit wound that immediately started pouring blood and that’s when [people screamed] ‘She’s shot!’ and everything went crazy,” another crew member said of the moments following the shooting.  Baldwin, meanwhile, was reportedly shocked after the gun went off and continued to repeat the phrase “What the f— just happened?”  Later, when Baldwin returned to base camp after changing out of his western costume that he was wearing during the incident, he informed the crew members waiting to be interviewed by police that he had “never been handed a live weapon” before this incident.
*********And with good reason… he can’t handle it!!!
********Alec should do himself a favor and STFU!!

The Queen’s Driving Around The Palace

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has been pictured driving herself around her Windsor estate on Monday, days after being instructed by her doctors to rest for a least a fortnight and refrain from official visits.  The image showed the 95-year-old monarch wearing a headscarf and sunglasses at the wheel of her car.  The outing will likely be a welcome sight amid increasing concerns over her health.  Last month, the Queen was forced to cancel a trip to Northern Ireland and spent a night at the King Edward VII hospital in central London, where doctors did “preliminary tests” and advised her to rest for a few days.
********They also have pictures of her doing push-ups!!!
*******This is one tough old bird. She ain’t goin’ down without a fight!!!
******Rumor has it she’s dating William Shatner!!
********In the pictures, she’s driving by herself.. and doing donuts!!!
*******Then she “accidentally” runs over Andrew!!!

Michael Jackson’s Son Makes Rare Appearance

Bigi Jackson — who was born Prince Michael Jackson II and formerly known as Blanket — made a rare TV appearance to call on world leaders to take action, following in the footsteps of his late father as an environmentalist.  He spoke on “Good Morning Britain” Monday at his brother Prince Jackson’s Thriller Night Halloween Party, which raised funds for the Heal Los Angeles Foundation and was held at their family’s Los Angeles estate.  “I do think it’s important that we all know about it,” Bigi said of climate change in the lead-up to the United Nations’ COP26 summit. “And I think we have some work to do, but our generation knows how important it is.”  He also briefly talked about his dad while standing in a room festooned with the King of Pop’s iconic costumes and images of him performing through the years.  “There’s a lot of history in this house and the studio here,” he explained of the Jacksons’ Hayvenhurst compound. “That’s what he was all about. That’s what each of us want to do: make things that people can enjoy and hopefully benefit their lives.”  Bigi was just 7 years old in June 2009 when Michael died of cardiac arrest brought on by a lethal combination of drugs given to him by his doctor.
********Why is it that most environmentalists have huge houses, pools, limos, yachts and helicopters??
******And how do you pronounce this guy’s name?? “Biggie?” Like “Biggie Smalls??”

Kanye’s Creepy Mask Fixation!-(National Enquirer)

Creepy Kanye West followed up changing his name to “Ye” by skulking around New York City in a frightening Michael Myers mask!  The 44-year-old rapper “was wearing it so he could walk around feely,” said PR honcho Ronn Torossian, who met with Ye during a break in the oddball’s weird walkabout.  “Kanye was very calm and relaxed, with no security,” added Torossian.  “He was just wandering the streets with the mask!”  But the grim plastic cover-up-which featured heavy eye makeup and looked like something from the “Halloween” series of slasher flicks-startled pedestrians onto gawking at him!

Battered Britney’s Tragic Trances-(Globe)

Troubled Britney Spears has turned to hypnosis in a desperate bid to banish her lingering demons from living like a prisoner for 13 years under a court-ordered conservatorship, say sources.  The 39-year-old “Oops! I Did Again” songbird admits she’s still bedeviled with issues, saying:  “I’ve waited so long to be free from the situation I’m in and now that it’s here I’m scared to do anything because I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake!”

Justin & Jessica:  Country Blues-(Star)

Justin Timberlake may be a man of the woods, but Jessica Biel is having a hard time adjusting to their new life in Tennessee, claims a source close to the couple.  “They left Hollywood to try and save their marriage and to give their sons [Silas, 6, and Phineas, who they welcomed in 2020] a chance at a normal childhood,” explains the source.  “But the past six months have been tougher on Jessica than Justin.”  Having grown up in Tennessee, the singer-turned-actor, 40, already has a built-in social network, whereas the actress, 39, “hasn’t really made any friends since they arrived,” the source reveals.  “There are times when she will go weeks without seeing anyone but Justin and the kids.”  However, Jessica isn’t ready to say “Bye, Bye, Bye” to their new home base just yet, says the source:  “Her plan is to just tough it out and hope that it gets better.”

Throwback!  Cindy Crawford-(Life & Style)

On International Day of the Girl, Cindy shared a photo of herself as a young child.  Growing up, “I wanted to be a nuclear physicist or the first woman president because those were the biggest jobs I could think of,” said the supermodel.  “Now, I know we can impact, support and uplift each other in so many small ways every single day.”

Boa Constrictor Found In Neighborhood

Police in a Chicago suburb are trying to find the owner of a large boa constrictor found in the bushes behind a home.  The Niles Police Department said a landscaper doing work behind a Niles home found the large snake slithering under a bush.  Sara Ruane, a snake expert at Chicago’s Field Museum, identified the snake as a boa constrictor. She said the reptile was likely a pet that escaped or was abandoned by its owner.  Police said they are now trying to find the big snake’s owner.  The discovery came just two weeks after a ball python was found slithering under a car at the Herrick Lake Forest Preserve in nearby Dupage County. Authorities said they do not believe the two snake discoveries are related. See the video HERE.
