Greetings, darlings! You KNOW how I hate to be an I-told-you-so.. and ESPECIALLY how I hate to be an I-told-you-so-before-you-heard-it-in-the-so-called-mainstream- (i.e. “boring)-media.... OkokokOK, so I am lying a teeny, tiny bit... I LOVE being right.
Well, sweeties, I reported to you AGES ago that I had heard a certain obnoxiously cocky, hard partying, car wrecking young “star” ( who won’t be mentioned by name here because I refuse to give her a dot of publicity) was about to get canned from starring with TRUE PROFESSIONALS and TRUE stars, Shirley Maclaine and Olympia Dukakis, in “Poor Things”, a tale of murderous geriatric duo ( and, no, I am not talking about George W and Dick " I Can Shoot Anyone I Want To" Cheney).
Now comes word that said young “star” has had such worrisome behavior, not only is SHE not working on the flick, it is THIS CLOSE to be cancelled altogether. At least I hear set designer for the movie, Fontaine Beauchamp Hebb, is telling folks producer Jacky Gilardi says forgetaboutit and the plug has been pulled ( the bond and insurance companies for the movie backed out because of the young-star-who-shall-remain-nameless’ reckless irresponsible behavior on prior movie sets as well as on the streets and clubs of L.A.)
Now let’s jump right forward to go backwards, darlings. Say WHAAAT? Say THE surprise Broadway hit,” Frost/Nixon”, is based on Brit broadcaster David Frost’s l977 interviews with old Tricky Dick, the stiff and somewhat awkward 37th president, Richard Milhous Nixon. view link
Not one to miss a beat making more moola off this interest in his tete-a-tete with Nixon, Frost has a book coming out in October entitled "Frost/Nixon - Behind the Scenes of the Nixon Interviews.” Anyhoo, I just heard THIS tale is included...... you see, darlings, Tricky Dick used the “F” word.
No, not THAT “F” word, the more stilted “F” word that, now that I think about it, fits Tricky Dick’s persona more than the F word YOU are probably thinking about ( see, I can read your minds!)....
Frost claims the prez turned to him before the taping and casually asked, in an apparent bid to sound like “ one of the boys” -- I am not making this up -- “Well, did you do any fornicating this weekend?”
Hmmmmm, getting screwed, what does that remind me of ( other than my Cary Grant fantasies).. OH, YES, darlings.. this just in from across the pond. Sir Paul McCartney , if my UK spies are right, is giving Heather “Making Out Like A Bandit” Mills almost £70 million to get it OVAH with and go away.
She’ll get a lump sum of £15 million and another £3.5million every year until their daughter Beatrice, who will be four in October, reaches her 18th birthday. That makes the divorce settlement the largest in British legal history and, some might say, the bipedally-challenged Mills the largest gold digger ex-wife in British history, too.
Uno mas Brit story, darlings: I also told you practically eons ago that Sting and his perpetually face-in-the-camera wifey poo, Trudie Styler, were in Big Trouble for firing their preggers cook , Jane Martin, because Trudie was supposedly ticked off the woman was pregnant and not moving fast enough.
The former chef won a claim for sexual discrimination against them. She's to receive £10,000 for injury to feelings and £16,000 for loss of earnings. But Trudie and Sting say they aren’t yet stung and have filed an appeal.
Oh, and did you catch Trudie blithering to Howard Stern via phone the other week about her sex life? Yes, darlings, she said they were “swingers” who enjoyed “ wife-swapping”( what about HUBBY swapping??) and going to sex clubs, yadda yadda. I don’t believe it for a momento only because one of the wives who was “swapped” would have surely sold a tell-all to a Brit tabloid by now. Methinks Trudie was trying to be funny or to impress Howard with her I-can-talk-dirty-too spiel. My Sting spies have told me, by the by, that she just LOVES bringing up ( emphasis perhaps on “bringing up”?) the erotica art in their bedroom...
Congrats to Beau Bridges for his Emmy nomination as best guest actor in a comedy series.This is especially poignant because the 65 year old was injured while filming two "My Name Is Earl" episodes that garnered him the nomination -- once while trying to breakdance and another time, I am not making this up, when he was bitten by a gerbil. No, not bitten THERE ( get your minds out of the GUTTER!) but I think he deserved it.. why, oh, why did they have to toss live little creatures cruelly around in that episode. Shame on them and good for the gerbils for biting back.
This edition of Gossip au Go Go opens with a quote from the forEVAH DIVINE Bette Midler, who is preparing to rock Los Vegas at Caesar’s Palace, starting in February. So I'm ending with this related plea, darlings! Eons own serial e-mailer, the perpetually perky Suzy, along with moi, your very own tres glam gossip maven, are asking you to PLEASE HELP US get out there to audition for the latest incarnation of the Harlettes.
All we need is for the Eons powers-that-be to get us tickets... we have stilettos, mini-skirts and chutzpah ( don’t worry, I’ll get Suzy to ditch those infernal glasses), will travel... We are looking GOOD! view link
So , darlings, write Jeff Taylor and DEMAND he send us to BOOOOOM Vegas with Bette!
That’s all for now, darlings.. come back soon for more this, that and some of the other.. and add YOUR celeb sightings, musings, picks and pans. In the meantime, go out there and do something so BOOMerific people cry out in unison, “ I haven’t seen anyone that rockin’ in eons and eons and EONS!”
