Just like me to procrastinate on my New Year’s greeting. I guess I should’ve made a resolution to be less tardy? I hope everyone had a great new year and that 2008 brings good things!
I was listening to 680 News Radio the other day and they had a story on a Toronto Psychic who’s 2007 predictions came true for the previous year. I figured I’d post some of them here and keep tabs on which ones pan out or not (not that I believe in any of this stuff… :D )
Nikki – Psychic to the Stars previously predicted Jennifer Lopez’s pregnancy in the September 11, 2006 issue of the US Sun Magazine tabloid, as well as the pregnancy of Angelina Jolie, the fires in Greece and the fires in Southern California including San Diego and Malibu, bridge collapse in Minnesota, the marriage of Eva Longoria, the Lebanon War, and the riots in Pakistan. Nikki also predicted the deaths of Anna Nicole Smith, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Tammy Faye Baker, Luciano Pavarotti, and Shelley Winters. Here’s some of her predictions for 2008:
- Sean Penn will be wounded when he visits the Middle East.
- George Clooney will marry in Como Italy suddenly and will father a child.
- Penelope Cruz will run for politics in Spain.
- A Hollywood power couple will announce their divorce on Larry King Live.
- Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan have to watch their health. (okay… no surprise there)
- Deal or No Deal Howie Mandel will have a new sitcom and will host the Oscars in the future.
- Tragedy around the Maid of the Mist in Niagara Falls.
- A category 5 hurricane wipes out Miami.
- Five men will rob a jewelry story in New York with taser guns and a man dressed as a Roman Gladiator will rob banks in Los Angeles.
- A raging fire in Chicago will destroy a large portion of the Old Chicago area and a bridge will collapse in Toronto, Canada.
- Gigantic earthquake will hit Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco and an earthquake will destroy parts of Athens, Greece.
- The largest Powerball Lottery ever won in the United States will go to a homeless person.

Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson died late Sunday night, just a few days shy of Christmas. The Montreal-born Peterson, 82, died at his Mississauga home of kidney failure and stroke complications. According to Celine Peterson, Oscar’s 16-year-old daughter, he went “peacefully”. My condolences are to his family in their time of need.
