Cody Brooke Dawson

Rest in paradise Cody Brooke Dawson.

This girl who passed away on October 3rd 2008 was loved by many.To some she was family, to others she was a friend but to all of us she was an angel. I met Cody at my sisters 15th birthday when I was crying on a step alone because my sister told me I ruined her birthday. When Cody came and sat with me with a shoulder to lean and a hug I felt so much better, it was as if she was sent to me because she also made sure that I was okay before she left me alone. She didn't pick people to be nice to she was just nice to every single person. On October 3rd when I found out that Cody had fell of the cliff at Coogee beach I thought "Why!? Out of all people it had to be the best". It's true believe it or not I think Cody was the most loving and caring girl out of most people I know to this day. Rest in peace Cody you will never be forgotten and I wish I could rewind time and I miss you.

Hayden's NEW BIKINI !

Actress Hayden Panettiere poses in her super sexy bikini in a new photo shoot for Details Magazine. Hayden is all grown up, she is now men’s magazine material and wow, doesn’t she look fabulous!?!

In the interview for Details, Hayden talks about being bullied, her father’s arrest, relationships and the media. Here are some highlights:

Trying to fit in at school as a child “I was tortured, emotionally tortured by these girls. Every time I came back from filming, it would be me trying to find my way back into the clique. And they weren’t having it.”

The publicity from her father’s arrest for alleged domestic battery last year: “It was very tough, especially since it’s my family. It’s one thing if you do it to me. I get frustrated, but I can handle it. But when it involves my family, my friends, forget it—I lose my . . . ”

Keeping her romantic life private:“When it comes to relationships, it’s nice to have something that is your own and not everyone else’s.”

Dealing with the tabloid media: “I learned the game. The more I react, the angrier I get, the more satisfaction they get. That’s exactly what they want.”
