How to Get a Piece of Bob Hope

How much would you pay for an autographed photo of Lucille Ball with some teeth blackened out or a money clip from Jack Benny? Would you shell out more if you knew the items once belonged to the legendary Bob Hope? The late comedian’s family sure hopes so. Bob Hope’s relatives are selling more than 800 of the funnyman’s prized possessions at a mid-October charity auction in Los Angeles. “Dad was a pack rat,” daughter Linda Hope recently told reporters. “He loved to collect things.” She isn’t kidding. The list of auction items left behind by the actor, who died … Continue reading

Britney’s Reformation Continues—-Is There a Wedding in Her Future?

The answer to that question is “yes.” Only the former popwreck won’t be the one saying, “I do.” According to OK! magazine, the twice divorced mother of two will be walking down the aisle in a bridesmaid’s dress during her sister Jamie Lynn’s upcoming wedding to fiancé Casey Aldridge. It would stand to reason that big sis Brit would somehow be involved in the event given that it’s being held at her massive country estate in the family’s native Louisiana. The only catch—–the family affair isn’t expected to take place until after a pregnant Jamie Lynn gives birth this summer. … Continue reading

Kevin and Britney… Get Ready To RUMBLE!

Get ready for round two (or is it three or four—I’ve lost count) in the custody battle over ex-Fed’s Britney Spears and Kevin Federline’s two young sons. It seems the pop princess’ recent finger-lickin’ (then wiping) chicken grease episode has prompted Federline to speed dial his attorney and request full custody of the couple’s sons, 1-year-old Sean Preston and 10-month-old Jayden James. According to OK! Magazine, which was first to report Brit’s latest meltdown, Federline is “taking legal steps to seek sole custody of the boys.” Now here’s where it gets interesting. According to the magazine, Federline is getting help … Continue reading

K-Fed–From Super Daddy to Sugar Daddy

The ladies love Kevin Federline’s big, fat… tips. And why not? Britney Spears’ ex recently rewarded a cocktail waitress with a $2,000 tip on a $365 meal tab. No word on what she did to deserve the huge bonus, but that’s fodder for another blog. This blog is all about the Benjamins and how purported pauper Federline is making like a king with his ex-wife’s money. Last week the Superior Court of California released K-Fed’s financial records detailing his spending habits between May 2007 and January 2008. The documents were collected in conjunction with the ongoing custody battle Federline is … Continue reading

Hollywood Dads—-Who Are They Kidding?

It’s been more than a year since Ryan Phillippe and his Oscar-winning actress wife Reese Witherspoon split, but only now is the actor speaking out about life post-divorce. The 33-year-old father to the couple’s two children Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4 recently told USA Today that “it’s bizarre” to see photos of his ex-wife and her new boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal splashed on the pages of entertainment publications. No word on how he feels seeing them together in person. Phillippe told the newspaper that he goes out of his way to avoid looking at pictures of his ex and her new … Continue reading

Timing Is Everything

Paris Hilton’s newest piece of arm candy is causing quite a stir among celebrity watchers and illustrates what can happen if you are at the right place at the right time. According to the New York Post, 22-year-old Alex Vaggo is going places… mainly in the passenger seat of Hilton’s car.

A source tells the newspaper the former jailbird immediately took a liking to him. And, now, the source says, Vaggo is living much better. (Can you … Continue reading

A Second Boy For Brit and K-Fed

Rejoice! He’s here! Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have added a second son to their fast growing brood, according to several entertainment magazines. I say “Rejoice” somewhat tongue-in-cheek since so much has been made of Spears’ second pregnancy. “Rejoice” not only because from all accounts the child is healthy, but also because the “Britney Baby Watch” is finally over. According to news reports, the newest Federline was born just before 2 a.m. Tuesday at a Los Angeles hospital, and was delivered via a scheduled C-section. Back in August, PEOPLE Magazine reported that Spears said childbirth “will be a piece of … Continue reading
