South Park creators ink massive deal with Comedy Central

I've gotta be honest here.  I do NOT understand this biznezz.   Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who created South Park and the insanely popular Book of Mormon, just inked a deal with Paramount that will blow your mind. The pair will keep producing episodes of South Park.  A show for which I don't know anyone who watches, but they'll also produce 8 movies for Paramount studios!  About what? Book of Mormon was fantastic, but how many versions or sequels can you create? And god help me if the...

Our favorite vegan, Pamela Anderson, is selling the home she's owns in the tony Malibu Colony, which is a private section of the beach town.   She's lived here since 2013 when she gave it a total remodel and gave it a shabby chic meets industrial meets minimalism.  It's hard to pin down.  But it works!

So imagine your father is worth a reported $800,000,000 and you're running meals for Door Dash and living in your rental car. So imagine your father is worth a reported $800,000,000 and you're running meals for Door Dash and living in your rental car. These are the claims made by LaTonya Young, 38, who is the eldest child of mega star Dr Dre. Dr Dre had LaTonya in 1983 when he was only 17 and her mother, Lisa Johnson, was just 15 years old. According to LaTonya, she stopped seeing her father when she was 5 and has only been in contact with him via his management since. Now I realize Dre doesn't owe his adult daug...

Own a piece of Princess Diana’s wedding cake!

If you've always wanted to have a weird and unusual connection to Princess Diana, your opportunity is just around the corner. On August 11, Dominic Winter Auctioneers will sell a 40-year-old piece of cake baked to celebrate Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ wedding in 1981. The cake (seen below) has white marzipan icing (ew) and a Royal coat of arms made out of sugar.  In the lot description, the British auction house notes that the decades-old dessert is “partly cracked” and has “slight damage to the shield of the crest” but otherwise appears to be well preserved. It's provenance goes like this... A woman who worked for the Queen named Moyra Smith was given the piece of cake as a gift.  In lew of a ticket to the wedding, I suppose.  Anyway, Moyra was no dummy. She didn't eat the cake, but rather wrapped it up with a handwritten label signed and dated to “29/7/81”: “Handle with Care—Prince Charles & Princess Diane’s [sic] Wedding Cake.” Moyra sold the slice in 2008 and it's current owners are offering it up yet again. Here's the thing... estimates are just $300 - $400.  That's doable for almost anyone who wants to express their love for Diana in a most peculiar way.  Finally! A good use for that stimmy money you've been holding onto! If you've always wanted to have a weird and unusual connection to Princess Diana, your opportunity is just around the corner.

Jeopardy has it’s new permanent host!

So I'm not thrilled about this, but it could be worse.  It seems the executive producer of the show, Mike Richards, who had a 2 week stint among a bevy of other guest hosts, will be the new official host of the show. According to Variety Richards is reportedly in advanced negotiations with Sony Pictures Television. Richards wasn't my first choice (Ken Jennings was) but truth is, his resume is kind of perfect. He's hosted game shows before ... "Divided" and "The Pyramid" for Sony Pictures’ GSN...

But the real magic happened, as it does for many, when she began branding and released a make up line called Fenty. She also has a lingerie company,...
