Credit Card Skimmers

I don’t understand crime. I know that people can reach a desperation point and take things that aren’t theirs because they can’t fill their needs legitimately. I cannot and will not condone it at all. I don’t think I’d be like Javert, but Jean Valjean still should not have stolen that loaf of bread. I read a piece in the paper where the writer said she understood how a woman could steal a baby. The tone of the article was almost forgiving. I couldn’t believe it. I will not carry a successful pregnancy. I miscarried twice and went through years … Continue reading

John Mayer’s New Girlfriend… Maybe

What’s the easiest way to lose a girlfriend? Don’t acknowledge her as your girlfriend. At least that’s John Mayer’s answer. The singer is furiously shooting down reports that he has rebounded from ex Jennifer Aniston with a 23-year-old aspiring actress. Attention Jennifer Aniston! John Mayer wants you to know that he’s still available should you wish to make the same mistake… twice. The rocker made a beeline to reporters yesterday after several publications ran a story Saturday about an alleged new relationship Mayer had started with waitress turned actress Scheana Marie. Mayer insists he is still single… Jennifer… and that … Continue reading

Warren Boyd – The Real Cleaner

Have you seen the new A&E show “The Cleaner?” It features Benjamin Bratt as a former addict who now uses extreme measures to help other addicts get clean. If you’ve seen the show, you may not know that Benjamin’s character, William Banks, is based on a real person. Warren Boyd was raised in sunny Santa Rosa, California, but by the age of 32, he had seen his share of trouble. He had nine DUI convictions and had already spent five years in prison. Addicted to both alcohol and cocaine, Boyd had been in and out of 26 rehab programs without … Continue reading

Celebrities Playing the Moving Game

Move over Trace Adkins another smooth talker is heading to Genoa City. Her hair is about as long as the country crooner’s but that’s about all Kathy Hilton has in common with the “Celebrity Apprentice” runner-up other than the fact she also secured a gig on CBS’ award-winning soap opera “The Young and the Restless.” Paris’ mom will play herself on the May 13th episode. According to show producers, Hilton is asked to find a magazine cover model for her friend Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), but takes over the photo shoot in a manner that infuriates magazine staffers. This will … Continue reading

Generous Celebs Keep the Giving Going

There’s nothing like tax time to get you to review just how generous you’ve been in the last 12 months. And it’s not just you—–many Hollywood celebrities are taking time to total up their good (financial) deeds and some have been quite a bit more generous than others. Take for example, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The handsome Tinseltown duo is known for helping those in need with their time and talent, but did you know that according to federal tax filings, the pair routinely digs deep (really deep) into their wallets to aid the less fortunate as well? According … Continue reading

New Discoveries in the Manson Case?

For years, I have been fascinated with the case of the Manson family. Charles Manson and members of his hippie “family” murdered of actress Sharon Tate (at the time, married to director Roman Polanski and eight and a half months pregnant with her first child) and her friends actor/writer Wojciech Frykowski, his girlfriend Abigail Folger (heiress to the Folger coffee fortune), and hairstylist Jay Sebring at the couple’s home in August 1969. Polanski was out of the country at the time of the murders. Also killed was Steven Parent, who was leaving after visiting his friend, William Garretson, the caretaker … Continue reading

Brangelina’s Very Greasy Christmas

If Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are trying to convince fans that they are as down-home as the next family they’re doing a great job. Watching video of how the Jolie-Pitt’s spent their holiday sure made me feel closer to them. Various news channels have been milking the video of Pitt driving a white Nissan minivan through a McDonald’s drive-thru in New Orleans on Christmas Day. According to employees there, the actor turned father of four picked up Happy Meals for his entire pint-sized brood. But, team Jolie-Pitt’s fast food frenzy didn’t stop there. The day after Christmas the entire … Continue reading

Marriage Shocker: The Day Wayne’s Illegitimate Daughter Called

A few years back I got the weirdest call one afternoon. A girl (I could tell she was young, and found out later she was 16) called and asked if Wayne Pryor was home. I told her he wasn’t but asked if she wanted to leave a message. She paused for a long time before asking, “Is this his wife?” “Yes.” Another pause, which caused a ripple of concern. Something about her hesitation seemed odd. “How long have you been married?” Okay, at this point a bunch of scenarios started running through my mind, and none of them were happy … Continue reading

A Star’s Struggle To Conceive

Martha Stewart has made a fortune by advising others to emulate her perfect lifestyle (never mind that she spent five months in federal prison for lying about a stock trade a few years ago). Like many people I have watched the domestic diva create seven-layer cakes from three ingredients and stood in awe as she fashioned a lampshade from a handful of pipe cleaners (I’m exaggerating, but if anyone can pull off those feats it’s Martha). It really begs the question: What CAN’T Martha do? Her daughter Alexis has the answer. Sadly, the 41-year-old daughter of the lifestyle guru is … Continue reading

Marrying the Incarcerated

When someone is in prison, they look for people on the outside to be their life lines. While the prison system in the United States is not a pleasant place to be (although you could make the argument that U.S. prisons are far better than prisons elsewhere) they are still prisons. When you’ve committed a crime against society and you are sentenced to prison – you are not sentenced there as a part of a social club, but rather as a punishment and as a form of rehabilitation. Your days are monitored and strictly scheduled. You may attend classes and … Continue reading
