Is there a ring on Kim Kardashian's
finger? The rumour had it that Reggie Bush said that if the Saints win the
Super Bowl, there will a be ring! So far, the only thing we know for sure is
that there is a ring on Reggie's finger!
Kim was there of course and even
made Reggie a true home-cooked meal for his "last supper" before the big game! On
the menu was a steak, mashed potatoes and salad. Who knew Kim could cook?
For those of you who are
wondering about Reggie and Kim, or don't know that there was a pretty long
relationship - they met and started dating in 2007 when - according to Kim -
she picked him up at a car wash. Then they went to Chipotles - but it took Reggie a while to make his
move. But Kim liked Reggie a lot so she exercised a bit of well rewarded
patience. Their relationship hit a stumbling block in July, when they both
accused each other of cheating. But they re-united in September and made a
point of putting their relationship first .
Kim does have a lot going on -
she launched her first fragrance, is writing a book, working on their candle
line, planning a skin care line... tons of activities and she is doing a good
job of promoting all of them!
But - she also made it clear that
she would relocate to New Orleans without a second thought so we will see if
Reggie does pop the question any time soon now!
There
is more and more trouble in the works for Dr. Conrad Murray. He was supposed to
be in a Las Vegas court, didn't show up and lost his case with Digirad Imaging
Solutions. He owes them $131,848 for services rendered to his medical practice.
Dr. Murray is in L.A. waiting to surrender on involuntary manslaughter charges
in the death of Michael Jackson - so he ignored the Vegas court date. We never
claimed the guy was smart!
Dr.
Murray's lawyer, J.Michael Flanagan stated that there are no plans to for Dr.
Murray to surrender so what he should have done is let the good doctor know
that!
The
entire legal team that Dr. Murray has is working away talking to the D.A.'s
office. Criminal charges have been filed and now that latest is that Dr. Murray
will arraigned and formerly charged with involuntary manslaughter. He is to
turn himself in Friday morning, get booked and then be taken to Airport Court
in L.A. to have a visit with the judge at 1:30 pm.
And I
guess it will be a good idea for him to show up, but we will see....
Now we know that the popular Jersey Shore will be back for
season 2 - after some hard negotiations the cast had with MTV. The original
deadline has now passed - MTV has told everyone that if they don't accept
$10,000 signing bonus and $5,000 per episode, they will be replaced. The cast
laughed at the offer and decided to stand united holding out for an undisclosed
price. Then MTV increased the offer to $10,000 per episode (there are 12
episodes in a season) and reported that they already have replacements for
those who choose not to accept the offer.
After all the guessing and fan tension, announcement was
made on January 30th and the entire gang will be back for Season 2.
Pauly D, The Situation, Snooki, J-WOWW, Sammi, Ronni and Vinny will return in
the summer but get this: Not to New Jersey! The show wants to escape the cold
Northeast and reach a new destination. And we are assuming that each cast
member will be getting the $10,000 per episode, since that is what was reported
as the last figure. The cast took the same approach that the cast of "Friends"
took way back when - everybody gets the same or nobody does the show.
Where are they moving to? Stay tuned for that
important announcement!
Are they or are they not? Splitting
that is. This has been a rumour and a question for quite a while now. The
latest is that they did split - but it really depends on who you are listening
to. It could just be that they do want to be in the news. But the fact is that
they are spending lot of time separately. And that could be a beginning of a
split.
There are sources - some called
close sources - that are making statements on this. According to some, the
relationship has been pretty loveless for the last year. They are barely
together and it appears that they want different things from life. The only
thing they have in common are the kids.
Some British tabloids have
reported the split with a deal of 205 million pounds - but you do have consider
where it is coming from.
I would say that the best thing
here is to wait for either Brad or Angelina to give a statement - we will be
watching for it and keep you posted!
Former Olympic Champion Nancy Kerrigan is
dealing with horrible situation these days. Her father is dead and her brother
arrested in connection with an incident that took place in her childhood home.
Emergency crews were called to the residence on Sunday and took Nancy's father,
Daniel Kerrigan, who was unresponsive and unconscious, to the hospital, where
he was pronounced dead.
Here is where the terrible situation gets
worse - the man arrested in the incident is Nancy's 45-year old brother Mark Kerrigan. He told the police that there
was a struggle between him and his father in the kitchen. Details are not
known, but Mark was arrested and charged with assault and battery. He appeared
in court today and tearfully pleaded not guilty. His bail was set at $10,000.
Nancy's mother gave an interview to the Boston
Herald and stated that her husband had a massive heart attack that happened
when Mark started fighting with him over the use of the telephone. And there was
also mentioned the fact that Mark was intoxicated at the time.
Nancy, who has 3 children and lives a short
distance of only about 10 minute drive from the home, has not given any
comments at this time.
Reporters
from all over the world have been trying to spot Tiger Woods just about
anywhere - from Africa to New York, to Arizona to the Bahamas. And the guesses
and gossip is flying in all directions.
The
latest - there is a picture that everyone is talking about now - taken at the
Pine Grove Behaviour Health and Addiction Services facility in Hattiesburg,
Mississippi, where the Gentle Path sexual addiction program is conducted. This
information is coming from the National Enquirer - so let's take that with the
grain of salt!
I am
just wondering right away - why would he be walking in or out of the gate of
this facility - if he is hiding from the public eye, he would be in a vehicle
with tinted dark windows, no?
If the photos are authentic, that
would make them the first since November 21 pictures of Tiger at a Stanford-Cal
football game where he was inducted into Stanford's Sports Hall of Fame. And
then - as we all know - only 6 days later he crashed his SUV into a tree
outside of his home in Florida and set off a stunning chain of events.
He is now taking an indefinite
break from professional golf and the rumour is that he will be returning for
the Tavistock cup in March - let's hope so!
So the
final settlement has now been reached - Conan O'Brien and NBC can sleep easier
now.
Especially
Conan - just in case he really wants to get right back to work fast. That means
- that part of the agreement where he couldn't do another show anywhere until
September has been removed.
And he will get the full $32.5 million - so that's
not bad at all! His staff is not going out empty-handed either, NCB will pay
them $7.5 million. Plus - his executive producer is walking away with a healthy
$4.5 million. Adding it all up - $45 million - whoa!
Conan's
last show will be this Friday and there has not been an announcement as to who
or what will replace him until the coverage of Winter Olympics starts.
I have
an idea! How about " The Best of Conan?" or maybe "The Best of Jay"? Whatever -
let's talk about something else the next time!
So we all already know that the loss of "The Tonight Show"
has brought Conan O'Brien a healthy settlement of $32.5 million bucks. And that
goes with his agreement to take a break from TV til September (Oh I bet that
hurts!) And if you think the $32.5 mil is a total - you are wrong! He also gets
a severance pay, so the total is now somewhere close to $40 million. But -
there is a little glitch in this great sounding agreement - and it may mean
that Conan will not eer see all the money! Under the terms of the agreement,
any money that Conan makes during the remaining contract period with NBC will
offset the payout. So - if he was to move to Fox and make a deal with them for
$25 million, NBC would only have to give him $7.5 million.( Ya - I do feel funny
stating the "only") That makes me wonder - if he was to make a deal with anyone
- for let's say $50 million - does that mean he would owe NBC $17.5 million. I
do hope that is not what he is signing!
Bad enough that it really looks like NBC may be keeping its
intellectual property rights and that means that Conan can't take his creative
ideas like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog to his next post.BooHooo!
And now for the fun part - Conan is also forbidden from
trashing NBC and they are all trying to figure out for how long.
Well Conan - we all hope you have really, really good
lawyers, cause it sure looks like NBC guys are pretty sharp!
Just in case you were wondering - how much do Michael
Jackson's kids get for a monthly allowance - it has just been upped from
$60,000!
Judge in the Michael Jackson's estate case just ruled that
way on Wednesday and reason given was that the guardian and lawyers
underestimated the monthly expences. The exact amount to total allowance was
not revealed, but one things is pretty sure - they are going to be well taken
care of!
Meanwhile, there is still quite a bit going on with the
estate and new creditors keep popping up all the time!
And can you believe that an alleged do-gooder has filed a
claim against the estate - on behalf of the City of Los Angeles? This guy -
Jose Freddie Vallejos filed the claim based on it being illegal for the city to
underwrite the Michael Jackson memorial that cost $3.3 million. He claims that
the memorial benefited the estate so the estate should pay.
Another creditor's claim was filed by a woman who says that
she had a very special bond with MJ. The filing is a bit cryptic - Shellie
Doreen Smith claims that she was married to MJ in the 1970's - but she can
remember when. Now - that is almost too funny to go into!
The estate is taking hits from all sides - the newest
creditor to come forward is a company that claims it's owed money for
re-financing the MIJAC catalog. The claim is for $328,299.03 in unpaid fees to
a small investment banking firm from Baltimore - Signal Hill Capital. The
unpaid fees are apparently related to music publishing assets.
So - in total, it looks like the MJ estate now has a grand total of all creditor's claim
exceeding $20 million - and that is no chump change!
Conan
should be scratching his head and firing some people right about now - we hear
that his contract has no mention about time slots for his show - and Jay's
certainly does. So Jay will get his one hour show back and it will be again
called "The Tonight Show".
The NBC
powers still have to have a sit in with Jay's reps and do the finishing touches
on the deal and that pretty much deals the fact that Conan will be leaving -
and not leaving on good terms!
You can
tell by his comments - for one, he called Jay's show a "comedy program" and he
will not talk to NBC guys anymore. He is now chatting away with Fox people
about a late night show from 11 to midnight. And we are pretty sure this whole
issue will go away and both Conan and Jay will have what they want. But do they
know?
We were
wondering - can you cheat and get away with it? Apparently so - because the
officials at the Baseball Hall of Fame have confirmed that Mark McGwire's
records setting bat will remain on display. And no comment on his confession
that he used performance enhancing drugs. So - the record remains and so does
the bat - enhanced by a disclaimer noting "mounting evidence" and noting that
displayed articles are showcased "without respect to suspicions" of illegal
substance use.
