Kennedy Children Caring for Mom
Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy's children have announced they have taken legal guardianship of their 68-year-old mother, Joan B. Kennedy, to ensure treatment for her alcoholism.
"My brother, sister and I love our mother very much," Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) said in a statement Thursday. "She has done so much for us throughout our lives and we will take whatever steps necessary to ensure she gets the medical treatment and care she needs and deserves."
50 Cent told XM Radio what he really thinks of rappers Fat Joe, Jadakiss and Ja Rule.

Actually, the children have had guardianship since last spring, but recent media interest led the clan to release a statement, a spokesman for Patrick Kennedy said. Joan Kennedy has in the past described herself as a recovering alcoholic.
"Alcoholism is a debilitating disease that has severely affected millions of families throughout the country, ours included," the statement said. "We will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect our mother and make certain she receives the necessary treatment for her disease and hope that others will join us in praying for her well-being."
Edward and Joan Kennedy have been divorced since 1982. His office had no comment.
Omarosa Fires Back
Catfight on Fox News Channel!
Yesterday on "DaySide," during an interview ostensibly about racism on NBC's "The Apprentice," things got personal between host Linda Vester and the reality show's most famous also-ran, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth.
It began on topic, reports The Post's John Maynard, with Manigault-Stallworth asserting that "The Apprentice" has a pattern of negative portrayal of African Americans.
"I don't agree with you one bit," Vester snapped.
"There's definitely a double standard, my friend," Manigault-Stallworth coldly responded.
Vester didn't like that characterization. "First of all, you're not my friend," she said.
But Manigault-Stallworth would not be dissed. "You have to earn my friendship, and I don't think you would be bright enough to do that."
"Omarosa, you are on thin ice," Vester said angrily, glaring into the camera.
It got uglier as the interview progressed, with Vester lecturing at one point: "I have been in TV longer than you have, dearie."
