Legendary DJ Casey Kasem

Legendary DJ Casey Kasem will live out his final days this week surrounded by his children ... who have made the decision to withhold medication, food and fluids.

The judge in Casey's conservatorship case just reversed a ruling which required doctors to keep him alive with nourishment and meds.

The 82-year-old is currently in a Washington hospice facility.

Casey's kids tell TMZ ... their dad's health directive document states, "If the extension of my life would result in mere biological existence, devoid of cognitive function, with no reasonable hope for normal functioning, then I do not desire any form of life-sustaining procedures, including

nutrition and hydration."

Casey's wife Jean was in court and furious over the judge's decision, storming out and screaming that the kids will have Casey's blood on their hands.

Obama: Gun control failure is biggest frustration

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says his biggest frustration so far as president is that American society hasn't been willing to take steps to strengthen gun control.
Obama is reflecting on frequent mass shootings during a question-and-answer session on social media site Tumblr. He says the U.S. should be ashamed.
Obama says there's no place else in the world where mass shootings are a once-a-week occurrence. He says the country must do some soul-searching.
Obama says he respects gun rights. But he says he was stunned after the Newtown school shooting that Washington couldn't even pass universal background checks. He's citing the political strength of the National Rifle Association and gun manufacturers.
Obama says until there's public opinion a fundamental shifts, the problem won't change. He says as a parent, that's terrifying.

This Moment Bon Jovi Surprised A Boy With Inoperable Brain Tumors Can Never Be Upstaged

One heroic youngster got the surprise of a lifetime on Saturday when his favorite rock star showed up at his fundraiser for pediatric cancer research.
When Mario Carpino was just 4 years old, he was diagnosed with four inoperable brain tumors. He underwent years of chemotherapy, and his tumors have since stabilized, according to a blog post his mom wrote. Now 10 years old, the inspiring New Jersey native has raised more than $150,000 toward finding a cure for childhood cancer through his work with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
On June 7, Mario held his fourth annual lemonade stand event at the Woolwich Fire Department in Swedesboro, N.J. Months earlier, he'd started a Facebook campaign in an effort to grab the attention of his favorite singer, Jon Bon Jovi, who Mario hoped would attend this year's event. The Carpino family never heard from the singer.
But on Saturday, completely unbeknownst to any of the Carpinos ahead of time, Bon Jovi flew into the Garden State and showed up at Mario's event, according to Yahoo Shine.
"Little did we know that he would just show up and surprise me," Anna Carpino, Mario's mom, told Yahoo. "As much as I wanted it to be him, I thought it couldn't happen. I just started breaking down, crying, and shaking. I was a hot mess!"
According to the Star-Ledger, Bon Jovi learned about the fundraiser from his son who told the star that he had to go.
"He told me his son said, 'You know what you're doing on June 7 right?'" Carpino told the outlet.
The rock singer posed for photographs, signed his No. 1 fan's T-shirt and even gave him his hat.

Walmart's Founding Family Could Literally Buy Every Home In Seattle

Walmart’s founding family could afford to buy every home in Seattle. Literally.
The Walton family's combined wealth of $154.8 billion is enough to purchase all 241,450 homes in the Emerald City, which are worth a total of $111.5 billion, according to an analysis published Thursday by real estate brokerage firm Redfin.
The Waltons' wealth is also more than enough to buy every single-family house, condo and townhouse in Dallas at $109.4 billion, Washington, D.C. at $109.2 billion or Miami at $92.8 billion.
“Given that the average American struggles to afford a home, we wanted to illustrate just how many homes the wealthiest among us could buy,” Tommy Unger, a data analyst at Redfin, wrote in a blog post. “For the sake of this illustration, we assumed that wealthy families, such as the Waltons of Walmart or the Koch brothers, would pool their money if they were going to purchase an entire city.”
Redfin used Forbes' wealth research and their own data on home prices in its analysis.
A representative for the Walton family did not immediately respond for comment.
Some cities could go to a standalone billionaire buyer.
Bill Gates -- with his $78.4 billion, according to Forbes’ most recent calculation -– would have money left over if he bought all 114,212 homes in Boston for $76.6 billion.
Investment titan Warren Buffett, valued at $65.8 billion, could buy up all 280,214 homes in Charlotte, North Carolina, the financial hub of the South, for $56.1 billion.
Google co-founder Larry Page, worth $30.8 billion, could afford all 99,964 homes in Boca Raton -- Florida’s flashy vacation spot for the wealthy –- for $29.5 billion.
“In this fictional real estate investment, the 30 billionaires on our list, with a combined fortune of $582 billion, could afford to own a staggering 6 percent of the total U.S. home equity,” Nela Richardson, Redfin’s chief economist, said in a statement.
A representative for the Walton family did not immediately respond for comment.

Tracy Morgan in intensive care after 6-car crash on New Jersey Turnpike

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) -- Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan was in intensive care Saturday after the limousine bus he was riding in was involved in a multi-vehicle accident on the New Jersey Turnpike, state police said.
The vehicle carrying the former "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" cast member and six others was involved in a six-vehicle accident on the turnpike near Cranbury Township at about 1 a.m. Saturday, Sgt. First Class Greg Williams told The Associated Press.
Williams said one person died in the crash that occurred in the northbound lanes of the turnpike near mile marker 71.5.
A spokesman at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey, says a patient named Tracy Morgan is in critical condition there.
There was no immediate word on other injuries from the accident.
Williams says two tractor-trailers, a sports utility vehicle and two cars, along with Morgan's limo bus, were involved in the accident. There is no immediate word on the cause of the pileup.
The 45-year-old New York City native joined "Saturday Night Live" in 1996 and was on the sketch-comedy program for seven years before leaving to star in "The Tracy Morgan Show" in 2003. That show lasted just one season. In 2006, Morgan found a long-running role in NBC's hit show "30 Rock," which was created by SNL co-star Tina Fey.
Morgan grew up fatherless, one of five siblings, in a blighted section of Brooklyn, where he helped raise and support the family.
He once called his gift for being funny "a defense mechanism" for his miserable circumstances.
As a teen he started doing comedy on the streets to supplement the family's welfare income.
The New Jersey Turnpike was closed for more than five hours after the crash and was reopened at about 6:30 a.m.

Best and worst dressed at the CMT Music Awards 2014

We love country music awards shows because the stars always keep us on our toes! Tonight's CMT Music Awards was no different, with quite the range of ensembles. Miranda Lambert blew us away in an absolutely perfect sparkly mini dress (she's essentially winning the

red carpet lately), and Carrie Underwood looked gorgeous in a patterned, cut-out gown. LeAnn Rimes brought sexy to the red carpet in her white-hot gown with quite the slit.

Unfortunately, tonight's red carpet had a lot more misses than it did hits, with stars like Nicole Kidman, Beth Behrs and Brooklyn Decker (um, we know. It pains us to say it!) left us wanting and wishing for a lot more.

Kourtney Kardashian pregnant with third child

Mason and Penelope better make room for a baby brother or sister! A little less than two years after Kourtney last gave birth, she and Scott Disick are now reportedly expecting their third child.

First a Kardashian wedding - then a baby! Kourtney Kardashian is now the sister with something huge to celebrate, as a new report claims that she and longtime boyfriend Scott Disick are expecting baby No. 3!

Kourtney Kardashian Pregnant: Expecting Baby No. 3

That's right - Kourtney is pregnant again, according to Us Weekly.

"She is only a few months along," a source told the magazine of the 35-year-old mom-to-be. Kourtney gave birth to her son Mason in December 2009, and then Penelope in July 2012 - but even though it's her third

pregnancy, it may not be her last: "[Kourtney] wants to have a handful of kids," the source said. She's certainly well on her way!

The baby reportedly was planned, and as of now Kourtney and Scott aren't worried about whether it's a girl or a boy. "They don't know the gender yet," said a source. "They just want the baby to be healthy."

There have allegedly been a few recent hints that Kourtney is expecting. After returning to New York City following her sister Kim Kardashian's European wedding, an eyewitness revealed that the reality star appeared to have flush, glowing cheeks, Us reports. And even more telling - when Kourtney and Scott went on their NYC double date with Khloe Kardashian and French Montana, the mom-to-be reportedly abstained from drinking and opted for ginger ale instead.

HollywoodLife.com has reached out to Kourtney's rep for comment.

Congratulations, Kourtney! Between Kim's wedding and this, the Kardashians certainly have a lot to be thankful for right now!
