John “Jake” Schlossberg, 16, great-nephew of Ted Kennedy, grandson of JFK and son of Caroline, said at Teddy’s funeral: “For a new season of hope that my Uncle Teddy envisioned where we rise to our best ideals, and close the book on the old politics of race and gender, group against group, and straight against gay. We pray to the Lord.”
Here’s the clip. Listen to Harry Smith mangle the name “Schlossberg.”

Facelifted Astronaut Buzz Aldrin as he appeared at the Daytime Emmys… and American psychic “Criswell,” from his appearance in “Plan 9 from Outer Space.” So alike, and yet only one said he would go to the moon with Mae West and Liberace’s brother.

Crikey! It’s Bindi! The Jungle Girl appeared at the Daytime TV Emmys in this lovely butterfly dress and flats, looking bright and cheery on one of the hottest days of the summer in L.A.
September 4th marks the 3rd anniversary of the death of Steve Irwin when a stingray barb pierced his heart near the Great Barrier Reef.

The gates of Kensington Palace hold remembrances from Londoners on the 12th anniversary of the death of the Princess of Wales in a Paris car crash while fleeing from paparazzi.
In related news, where the hell is Camilla? She has not been in public since August 6, when she was seen in this bewitching outfit at the funeral of a WWI veteran friend.
The iron fabric for this dress was repurposed from a WWI battleship. The squiggly stick on the hat is actually a cleverly disguised no-pest strip.

For those of you who didn’t manage to get a good look at Ted Kennedy’s first wife Joan Bennett Kennedy, 72, during the funeral on Saturday, here she is talking to Tony Bennett, no relation.
In July 2004, her son Edward was appointed her legal guardian; in 2005 her children were granted temporary guardianship.
Joan Kennedy will be 73 on Wednesday. Happy Birthday!

Model impregnator Jude Law as seen yesterday before a performance of Hamlet in Denmark, and Lollipop Guild member Jerry Maren in “The Wizard of Oz.” So alike, and yet only one entices visitors with a nice sucker.
