Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s new book is pretty representative of America at its worst. The title alone, “How to Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture” goes a long way toward illustrating the couple’s involvement with some of our most odious pillars of society.
Michael Ludwig was an outgoing and caring 9-year-old boy, who like many children his age loved playing sports, particularly baseball. But unfortunately, Michael was born with a congenital heart defect that neither his parents nor his doctors knew about until it was too late. Michael died unexpectedly and suddenly in a pediatric intensive care unit 15 hours after suffering a seizure while playing touch football with several friends. It was only after his death that it was discovered he was born with a congenital heart defect: an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery, which is the second leading cause of sudden death among young athletes. Michael’s father Ed Ludwig is working to honor Michael’s memory by educating other families about these types of heart conditions. Here he shares an excerpt of an essay he wrote for his family.

No other celebrity family encompasses the there-to-nowhere scope of fame quite like the Baldwins. A-list brother Alec leads the pack, B-list Billy comes in a distant second, and somewhere between reality TV fixture Stephen and complete obscurity lies Daniel. When the Baldwin brothers shot to fame in the late ’80s and early ’90s Daniel, whose looks didn’t measure up to the rest of the then-hunky brood, jumped on the back end of the fame bandwagon. Bit parts, low-budget films, and television one-offs soon became the norm for the second oldest B-boy, but even those roles became a rarity after a public battle with addiction left Daniel in the reality realm with “Celebrity Rehab.”
