No More Show Me the Money

Ha-ha! ABC has pulled the plug on "Show Me the Money," starring Boston Legal's William Shatner. The show was hot for what a couple of days, but then everybody woke up and realized that we heard this dang phrase in the 90' s when Cuba Gooding Jr., shouted it at Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire.

I guess Shatner just didn't have that same raucous yell when he said "Show Me the Money."

OJ Got Me Fired!

Yep, that's the word coming from Judith Regan the would be publisher of Simpson's nutty book, (If I Did It). Ms. Regan was gainfully employed up until this morning by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp until they told her "to get out and don't let the door hit you, where the good lawd split ya!"

Regan Publishing will still be available and no one from that staff is in danger of losing their job. It's just Harper Collins feels it is no longer viable to have Judith on board. Harper Collins CEO, Jane Friedman, offered no reason for the firing, but hello, it comes a month after this stupid book thing, y'all do the math.

Regan has had a sensational career dating back to the 80's when she was a reporter for the National Enquirer and including publishing hot books by Drew Barrymore, Kathie Lee Gifford, Jose Canseco & Jenna Jameson. Regan is no slouch to appearing the in gossip "colms" either, after her rumored trysts with former NYPD Commissioner Bernard Kerik.

Miss USA on her way to being SOL

The current Miss USA, Tara Conner, is about to be fired according to reports. Some are speculating that the beauty queen who's been living large in NYC, has been hitting the party circuit too much and good heavens, disgracing the crown. Pageant officials and Donald Trump (who owns the Ms. Universe company that backs the pageant) are deciding what to do about Ms. Thing!

Conner is from Kentucky and has been in the industry for years. But if anyone saw that show that Al Roker produced about the behind the scenes of a beauty pageant, y'all would know she was a little Britney Spears in waiting.

Oh, Baby

Jillian Barberie, 40, of Good Day Live LA is expecting her first child with husband Grant Reynolds, 34, July 7, 2007. Jillian is thrilled saying, "we got pregnant on our first try." The star who also works on FOX as a sports analyst is thrilled because she suffered a miscarriage in 2004 and thought she would never be able to have kids. Well congrats to her.

Basketball Baby!

Lisa Leslie, 35, the 6ft 5in center for the LA Sparks, is pregnant with her first baby. The basketball star married to former Naval Pilot, Michael Lockwood, 41, since summer 2005 said she is doing quite well during her pregnancy. Leslie & Lockwood, are looking forward to the baby's arrival in June.

Even Porn Stars Breakup!

In with the new & out with the old. Tito Ortiz (above) & Jay Grdina (below)

Super porn queen, Jenna Jameson has filed for legal separation from her husband, Jay Grdina, after 3 1/2 years of marriage. The two who worked together in films as well as her business, Club Jenna, just couldn't make a go of it. Jenna who is legally Jenna Massoli filed the papers in LA County Superior Court to end it with her hubby who performs under the name "Justin Sterling."

The couple have no prenup, so shall I say, "Let's get ready to rumble," because ole girl is worth a small fortune. Ms. Jameson not only works with her own company but she is also a "VIVID" girl. One of the biggest porn companies in the US.


At one point early in the year, Jameson, was linked to rocker Dave Navarro after his split from Carmen Electra. However these days, Jenna is keeping company with UFC Champ Tito Ortiz.

Oops She Did it Again, Oh Dang it was the Other One!

Nicole Richie now , not Paris Hilton was arrested for DUI. Heck what am I saying, Nicole, shoot I thought maybe it was Lindsay Lohan in disguise. Then I saw the toothpick like arm and said, nope it's Nicole. Not sure which part is more hideous, the fact that Ms. Richie aka Lionel's Little Girl got picked up on DUI after she's supposed to be clean & sober or the fact that her booking sheet listed her weight at 85lbs! Perhaps this is the reason she can't gain weight. She drinks all the time & then gets sick in the morning. Um, yeah, that's it!

Richie was reportedly driving down the 134 Highway in Glendale going the wrong way. Poor girl! But when officers stopped the car, it was magically going in the right direction headed towards to Burbank. Officers pulled the "little skeleton" that could out of her Black Mercedes SUV and took her down to the station. She was released on $15, 000 bail and ordered to appear in court.

Apocalypto King of the Box Office

I'll tell you, Mel Gibson knows how to make a movie. Apocalypto is action packed drama from start to finish. The cinematography is excellent as is the compelling story of the young hunter Jaguar Paw. The movie actually isn't as gory or bloody as made out to be by some critics. I saw more gore in that dang "Saw" movie than this.

Now I don't see this movie being the "epic" that "Braveheart" or "Passion of the Christ" were, it is a must see just for the opportunity to take a look back in history and see a different culture than what we see everyday.

If you didn't believe in the power of the human spirit before, you will after you see Apocalypto!

Girl's Got Problems, For Real

If this is true, let's hope it could be wrong, but the National Enquirer is reporting that Ms. Lindsay Lohan, 'lil diva herself, is taking the prescription narcotic Oxycontin along with Cocaine & mixing it with Alcohol. Ooh, good lawd, girl! Tell me that, that is not a recipe for disaster.

Now y'all know ole girl just started going to these little AA meetings. But it looks like she might need to take it a step further & check into one of those rehab places with the nutty names like, "The Desert Oasis", "Shady Acres", whatever they call themselves & get some help!

Wesley, Nothing Rhymes with "You did it, just aquit"

Wesley Snipes, star of the "Blade"movie series, & films, "Jungle Fever" & "New Jack City", who was recently arrested for tax evasion in Florida is saying that he will work to clear his name. Uh-huh, whatever! Tell it to the judge. There are 3 big letters that always know if you did or didn't to the paperwork & they are the I R S. Wesley is reportedly over $1 million behind in back taxes. You know he's been hanging onto the money since he hasn't had a hit movie since the 90's. He might as well just get ready to share a spot next to Mr. Big aka Ronald Isley.

Ole boy thought he might not have to fess up because he stayed in the mother land long enough filming the upcoming movie "Gallowalker" & teaching locals in Namibia how to film make. But he hired a legal team (sure sign you know you got a problem when more than one attorney is required) to negotiate with US Prosecutors on when to return & tentative court hearings.

Snipes was required to post $1 million bond. Now this is the only part I don't agree with. If you got the money to post why not just collect it for the taxes & be done with him. But whatever, y'all know Uncle Sam! Snipes has upcoming court dates on January 10, 2007 & March 5, 2007. Wesley will also not be working out of the country come February 22, 2007 when he is to surrender his passport to officials in Ocala, Florida.

One of Wesley's attorney's , Billy Martin is saying that his client "is the victim of unscrupulous tax advisors & we look forward to his vindication when the facts come out."

Beautiful Music

Diana Krall, 42 & her husband Elvis Costello, 52, welcomed twins for their 3rd wedding anniversary. The duo who wed December 5, 2003 in London, welcomed twin boys, Dexter Henry Lorcan, & Frank Harlan James. It looks like folks are back to giving babies 3 names again. (see Heidi Klum & Seal for further advice on names)

Looks like new mom Krall already has the dress code under control. When asked if she was dressing them alike she responded, "oh no, there's no need for that!"

49th Annual Grammy Awards Nominations Out

James Blunt "You're Beautiful"
















Gnarls Barkley is "Crazy"

Justin Timberlake "Bringing Sexy Back" with Future Sex/Love Sounds

The Dixie Chicks "Taking the Long Way"


Queen of Hip-Hop Ms. Mary J Blige having a "Breakthrough"

Leading the way with 8 Grammy nods is Mary J Blige. While The Dixie Chicks are taking nods in the top 3 categories. Blige, 35, has been on a role all year. First she scored big with her knockout album "The Breakthrough" and then she just hit the jackpot in Vegas, Monday night taking home an arm load of Billboard Music Awards. While Blige was getting her breakthrough on, The Dixie Chicks weren't "Making Nice" with their hit album "Taking the Long Way." The Chicks have constantly been recognized for their innovative and funky country sound as well for their outspoken lead singer, Natalie Maines who eventually made nice with other huge country artist Toby Keith. After she made some disparaging comments about G Dub aka President of the United States.

Both Blige & The Chicks have been nominated for album of the year.

Also picking up nods, are James Blunt (You're Beautiful), John Mayer (The Continuum), Prince, my boy, who's "Bringin Sexy Back" Justin Timberlake (FutureSex/Love Sounds), & the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Blunt's "You're Beautiful" is nominated for song of the year & he's also nom'd for male Pop vocal of the year.

Feeling left out in the cold is epic artist Bob Dylan, (Modern Times) who wasn't nominated for jack. That's pretty tough to swallow when he had his first #1 album in 30 years. All the music he's done, you'd think they could have coughed up a nomination in the song writing category alone. But what can we expect when they nominate Gnarls Barkley (Crazy) who had a crazy hit (not my favorite) song this year. Sucker was dang annoying! It drove me crazy.

Y'all can catch the Grammy's {I would say all the way Live but y'all ain't got nobody to thank for that except Ms. Nasty herself, Janet Jackson} with a 3-5 second delay semi Live on February 11, 2007, broadcast from The Staples Center on CBS.

Deny! Deny! Deny!

That's what Beyonce & Jay Z are doing, after reports have surfaced claiming that they are to be married this weekend. Beyonce, 25, is claiming that she is merely planning an elaborate birthday party for Def Jam President, Jay Z, who turned 37 on Monday. The party is going to be aboard a private yacht off the coast of St. Barts. Hello! I so need an invite to this.

The duo have been dating for the past 3 years and have collaborated on several #1 hit singles, including "Deja Vu," "Bonnie & Clyde," & "Crazy in Love." The couple that work well together & play together can probably stay together. Let's hope. I can't write about another divorce!

Beyonce will however not be able to stick around for the party or wedding reception too long, because on Monday, she is due in Beverly Hills for the premiere of "Dreamgirls," in which she has a starring role. The film also includes Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, & American Idol's Jennifer Hudson.

U Are My Baby Daddy?!

"Hmm-mum, O kay! Don't be tryin' to be hilarious, Eddie? I ain't playin' wi'tchu! "

Yeah, you know all of that was said by Scary Spice aka Mel B when funny man Eddie Murphy said that "is not my baby." Perhaps he should have said, "Dang girl, I had a vasectomy, 6 months ago." (Mel B is 5 months pregnant) Because using the not my baby line when you have 6 kids doesn't exactly work so well. So, let the drama begin! He said vs she said. Looks like Eddie might have done ole girl wrong. Eddie & Scary had been dating since Spring of 06 all the way into early Fall. From the looks they appeared to be an odd little couple that liked toting their children to the beaches of Hawaii and hanging out. Things were going so well, that at one point I heard that a possible marriage was in the works. Well scrap that! I don't know which one called it off, but whatever went down, it went the wrong damn way! Now we're going to be all over this story like white on rice, waiting to find out the paternity of a "Spice Baby!"
