Chelsea Handler's NBC Show Axes Nearly Half of Its Cast

Producers for Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea, the semi-autobiographical NBC

sitcom based on Chelsea Handler's book of the same name, have fired White Collar

alum Natalie Morales, former ER actress Angel Laketa Moore, and -- ouch -- Chelsea

Lately staple Jo Koy. A Vodka rep said the trio was axed "for creative reasons." That

70's Show alum Laura Prepon is staying put as the star (yay), a young Chelsea

Handler, but it's a rocky start for the series, which is slated to premiere mid-season

and has already released a trailer with the now-cut cast-members in it. In any case,

we're sure Handler will make some obnoxious irreverent comment about the changes

soon.

Victoria Beckham to Undergo C-Section in Los Angeles

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham is reportedly scheduled to have her fourth baby

with husband David Beckham today via Cesarean section.

The baby, a girl, will be born at a Los Angeles hospital, MTV UK reports. The child will be

the Beckhams’ first daughter. David Beckham commented on the differences in

preparing for their daughter:

“We’re really excited. You know, it’s a whole new different thing for us. To have so

much pink in the house, lilac in the house, and dresses… All the clothes [are] ready, the

room’s ready, so we’re all ready for it and all excited.”

Sources also say that Victoria Beckham plans to breastfeed her daughter, her first

foray into the practice. Although she formula fed her boys, Beckham says having a girl

has caused her to rethink the decision:

“I’m doing everything differently this time. I want it all to be natural and perfect for

my little girl.”

Dalai Lama in Washington for first time since 'retirement'

The Dalai Lama is to celebrate his birthday this week by returning to Washington DC for

the first time since he retired from politics.

The Tibetan spiritual leader will lead a prayer for world peace on the lawn of the Capitol

as well as conduct a special Buddhist ceremony.

The ceremony, a 10-day teaching called a Kalachakra, is expected to draw as many as

100,000 people between Wednesday and July 16.

In May, the Dalai Lama formally stepped down as head of the Tibetan

government-in-exile, giving up the political power that he and his predecessors as Dalai

Lama have wielded over Tibetans for hundreds of years.

Though he remains the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, his decision to abdicate is

one of the biggest upheavals in the community since the Chinese crackdown led him to

flee in 1959 into exile in India.

The Dalai Lama, the 14th in a line of men said to be the living incarnation of Chenrezig,

a Buddhist god of compassion, says he had little choice. Though he appears hearty, he

turns 76 this week.

Miracle of the Day - GOD said NO

I was on my way to church with 5 other people in the truck we were on the interstate

going about 75mph because we were already late and we had a blow out in the front

right tire we hit the edge of an overpass and went airborne into a tree. I was thrown

out of the truck and walked off with just a broken arm. But the man that was driving

had 23 broken bones in his body and his daughters face was crushed to pieces but we

kept faith and kept praying. They were both on life support for 2 weeks, but God did a

miracle and everyone is perfectly fine today. Yea we were not expected to live but

we’re all in the best health of our lives, and we give all glory and thanks to JESUS

CHRIST.
