Kris Jenner, mom and
fame-whore manager, is pissed at daughter
Khloé Kardashian for supporting her
husband Lamar Odom's idea to pull the plug on their reality show.
Her daughter supports her husband's
decision to live their lives as much outside the spotlight as possible, and
mom is angry. Yeah, that's normal.
Khloé and Lamar decided to not do a third
season of their E! reality spin-off show, so Lamar could focus on his career,
which is, from what I read, cuz I don't know nuthin' about them sports things,
in a downward spiral. The couple's decision on what to do with their own lives
has put them at odds with Kris, who never met a dollar sign she didn't want to
screw.
A family insider, and I'm sure their name
starts with a 'K' says, "The idea to pull the plug on the show was
all Lamar's. He felt that it was becoming a distraction and Khloé fully
supported her husband. Lamar just isn't in a good place right now, he is
dealing with his ailing father and trying to get back into shape so he can sign
with an NBA team. Kris doesn't think it was necessary for them to not do
another season of the show though and told them that Ryan Seacrest's production
team would work with Khloé and Lamar to film less. Kris told Khloé that viewers
could be inspired by what they are going through right now because the
unemployment rate is so high. However, Khloé isn't budging and told her mom
there will be no show, period. This is the problem when a mother makes money
off of her kids, it could cloud her judgement."
What kind of mother wouldn't support their
own child's decisions on how they choose to live? oh, yeah, a mom
like Kris Jenner who gets a 10 percent commission on all of her children
and Lamar's deals that she has brokered.
It's not about parenting to Kris Jenner,
it's about her bank account.
This is rich.
Charlie Sheen is threatening to sue New
York strip club Cheetahs for millions,
claiming the club now has a VIP room named in his honor--where guests eat sushi
off the bodies of scantily clad women.
Charlie says, and forgive me for giggling,
that this damages his reputation.
He feels that allowing guest, for
just $250 a person, to eat raw fish off the half-nekkid body of a
high-class pole dancer, in a room festooned with pictures of grinning,
sometimes toothless, almost always drug addled, Charlie Sheen, is bad for his
career.
Unless, of course, Charlie gets a cut.
Sam Zherka, president of the company that
owns Cheetahs, says the Charlie Sheen room was created over a year ago because:
“We figured it would be comical to name a room after him. It was a room where
you could dine on sushi served on cellophane on the body of one of our
entertainers, not where you do crack.“
Oh, snap.
Then came notification from Sheen's team of
round-the-clock lawyers to cease and desist, claiming the usage of his name
would be detrimental to Sheen's persona.
"How could sushi damage Charlie
Sheen’s reputation?” Zherka mused. “We thought dedicating a room to dine in his
honor would help repair and elevate his image. He should have called us up and
thanked us.“
But, Cheetahs blinked first, and the Sheen
room is no more, although there was one last hurrah where all the pictures of
Crazy Charlie were tossed into a dumpster.
Kinds like the real thing.
So, Lindsay.
It seems Original Recipe Lohan was actually on her best behavior at the
White House Correspondents dinner, even though she did miss her plane because
she was late. A habit for the cracktress. And
she looked pretty good, except for the semi-deflated balloon lips she's trying
to loose before playing Liz Taylor in a Craptime, er, lifetime, movie.
There were no stories of Lohan Drink Tossing,
and no fisticuffs with rising politicos, although rumor has it Lohan was
bitching at her assistant almost non-stop.
Get me a drink, and put it in a water
bottle so people think I'm sober.
That kinda thing.
And there was some spin that Lohan , on one
of her many trips to the bathroom, met an elderly Latina cleaning woman in
the ladies’ room, and told her:"You’re too old to be doing this kind of work.”
And then she ALLEGEDLY gave the woman a $100 tip.
Now, two things: where did Lohan get a
C-note, and if she had one, you know darn well she'd be using it for vodka and
Vicodin.
Oh, yeah, and while she chainsmoked
almost all night long, she was telling people it was part of her
"research"to play Taylor.
No, not Rip Taylor.
Ryan O'Neal.
The new face of Pathetic, a gossip
magazine where stars tell the most horrid stories about themselves just to make
a buck.
O'Neal is making the rounds, peddling a
book he "wrote" about his life with Farrah Fawcett, but somehow
he makes himself the victim of Farrah’s moods and made her death all about
him.
And, when it came to talking about his
kids, all of them, except Patrick who was raised by his mother, who have had
their share of drug dram and arrests, he admitted he was a "bad
parent".
Still, O'Neal barely
remembered to mention his youngest child, Redmond, with Farrah, when he,
perhaps jokingly, asked, “Who’s the other one? Redmond.” Either way, it came across as cruel.
Ryan, suffering from
pancreatic cancer and leukemia, spares no one in his stories. Rumor had it that
he used to party hard, drugs and booze style, with Redmond, which lead to
Redmond's addictions and drug arrests and rehab stints.
And in daughter Tatum's biography A Paper Life, she tells of the neglect, and physical and
emotional abuse she suffered as a child. Tatum tells about the friend of her
father's who molested her, and how, at the age of 12 she was taken to an
orgy by then 17 year-old Melanie Griffith, who was dating 34-year-old
Ryan, at the time.
Loverly.
Look for Ryan on the inaugural
issue of Pathetic at your local newsstand.
Lotsa folks--and I include myself--believe Queen Latifah is gay, though she's never
said a word about it to anyone. Publicly.
But, there
were all the stories about her life with personal trainer, Jeanette Jenkins,
and how they bought a house together. And then came the pictures of Queen and
Jenkins, on that yacht, where they were all huggy and groping.
And then
came stories that Queen dumped Jenkins and is now dating a woman named Eboni Nichols. Eboni and Latifah were even
photographed together at last year’s US Open.
Now, she
does get a half-assed pass from me for not publicly coming out--as bisexual or
gay--because she's never done that I haven't found the right guy interview and she's never done the I'm straight dammit press tour.
But that may
be changing.
Maybe
Latifah is tired of life in the Glass Closet, or maybe she's just looking for a
gig, but either way, she'll be headlining at this year’s Long Beach
Lesbian & Gay Pride Festival.
Will she
come out? I would like that. It would do a lot for young Black girls who are
Lesbian and closeted.
Will she not
come out? Well, lots of straight performers perform at Pride events, so her
appearance there isn't a lock on her Lesbianism.
Still....come
out, come out, wherever you are, Latifah.
Lotsa
folks wringing their hands over Lindsay Lohan’s casting as
Elizabeth Taylor.
And for good
reason.
Even though
it’s just a low budget, cheap-assed Lifetime disaster-to-be, it’s the principle
of the thing.
Lindsay is
no Liz Taylor.
I mean, she
is considered one of the great beauties of the 20th century--No, not Lohan--and
was a great actress--No, not Lohan,--a brilliant activist for AIDS--No, not
Lohan--and a fabulous philanthropist--NO! Not Lindsay!
So, how does
anyone think that kind of person needs to be portrayed, even on the small
screen, by convicted criminal,jewel thief, alcoholic, drug addicted,
car-jacking, kidnapping, Lohan.
Oops, forgot
to add ALLEGEDLY.
And, even Elizabeth’s
family is furious that
Lindsay Lohan's casting as Taylor.
A family
friend--okay, it was me--told the Enquirer: “Liz’s sons, Michael and Chris
Wilding, feel there are many other actresses who are far more qualified to
play their famous mother. They think gorgeous and talented stars such as
Cate Blanchett or Emily Blunt should have been short-listed for the role. Liz
deserves better."
Well, I
can't imagine Cate or Emily doing a cheesy Lifetime bio-pic, which was why
they were never asked, but, come on, there aren't any other TV stars, who don't
have a criminal record, and actually have talent, who could play Taylor?
And again, I don't mean Rip Taylor.
Lohan would
have been perfect to play Rip.
It looks like it might be
a "Skinny Girl Situation."
Rumors are swirling, as
they are apt to do, that Bethenny Frankel, the married 41-year-old star of
reality TVs Bethenny Ever After recently hooked up with....hang on, I think I threw up a little in my mouth.....The Jersey Shore, um star[?] Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino.
I know. It's like an
STDapalooza.
But the cheating scandal
is threatening to ruin Frankel's already troubled marriage, and even, maybe,
perhaps, fingers crossed, the launch of her new daytime talk show.
It all started with a
Blind Item that appeared last October: “Strangest hookup ever…This controversial female married A-list
reality star spent a good five minutes making out with this second fiddle
reality star who thinks he is way better than he is.”
Then, just last month it
was revealed that the subjects of the item were Bethenny and
29-year-old Sorrentino!
“Bethenny has vehemently denied it, calling the rumor ‘a
lot of B.S.,’” a source--and we all know it's Andy Cohen....or Kathy Griffin--
at the Bravo network said. But her husband of two years, Jason Hoppy,
isn’t so sure.
“He’s been suspicious for some time because of all the
problems they’ve had,” the source continued. “Bethenny’s marriage to
Jason has already been hanging by a thread, and this could finally sink it.”
Bethenny is probably more worried about how the rumors
might affect her new TV gig, the talk show,which begins test runs on FOX in
June.
Yeah, I can kinda see this happening.
Two reality show whores mixing their DNA and then
sobering up and realizing it was all a tragic mistake.
Next week, on a very special Bethenny....
It’s been a while since we’ve had any news on the Halle
Berry/Gabriel Aubry custody battle.
In fact, it’s been downright quiet since Halle “I never will marry….again” Berry
announced her engagement to French actor Oliver Martinez. Halle has made it quite
clear, though, in her court actions, that she wants to replace Nahla’s father,
Gabriel, with Oliver, and wants to do so sooner rather than later.
But Gabriel is pushing back to assert his parental rights.
His latest move involves asking for a “substantial increase” in his child
support from Halle,
to $20,000 a month.
Now, it may sound like a lot, but, let’s say the
situation were reversed, and it was Aubry making the big bucks and Halle
making substantially less; we wouldn’t even be having the discussion.
And, adding to the demand for increased child support,
Aubry also wants Halle to pay his legal fees, which stand, right now, at about
$500,000. Aubry was in court, arguing for the increase, but didn’ty have the
proper paperwork, so the judge postponed his decision,
Gabriel believes he’s entitled to the money because he
needs a proper environment to
care for 4-year-old
Nahla, whom Halle wants to take with her, and move to Paris so she can Oui Oui and Oooh la la with Martinez.
Now, as I said, if the genders were reversed, the request
for increased support would hardly raise an eyebrow, except for maybe the
amount of the increase. But, remember this, while Aubry has been said to make
about $700,000 a year as a model, during his time with Berry she often called
him a loser for not making as much as she did. Berry’s net worth is estimated at $70
million and reports claim she
earns $16 million a year, though, given the number of crap movies she’s been in
lately, that’s probably no longer accurate.
So, he probably doesn’t need the money, but this is his
way of continuing to assert his parental rights against the woman who wants to
take his child out of the country.
Plus, there was that whole abuse claim filed by Team
Halle against Aubry that got tossed out of court.
Lots of folks say Halle is a beautiful woman…..on
the outside, only though, it seems
