Barack’s first day books sales beat out Michelles!

In an upset that I'm sure Michelle Obama took in stride, husband Barack's new memoir “A Promised Land,” sold an astonishing 887,000 copies.  Compared to Michelle's 725,000 copies of "Becoming." I was shocked.  Both are so beloved, but Michelle has such a legion of female fans, and women tend to read more than men.  Whatever. The Obamas signed a deal estimated to be worth over $60 million with Penguin Random House in 2017. Michelle’s book was the best-selling volume of 2018 an...

Matthew McConaughey wont say no to being Texas governor

People dismiss Matthew "Alright alright alright" McConaughey as vapid and a pothead.  But he's actually quite thought out.  And a pothead. On Tuesday he was on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” and he was asked about becoming governor of the state he calls home, Texas, he didn't say no. “You’re kind of center-right in the view of people, you could be governor of Texas. Are you ever going to run for anything?,” asked host Hugh Hewitt. “I don’t know. I mean, that wouldn’t be u...

Harvey Weinstein tested for Covid in jail due to illness

OC Housewife’s topless painting sells for $350k

So much of this brings me joy.  I watched the first few seasons of Housewives of Ocean City. It was the first to come out and it was novel.  Castmate Jeana Keough was the highlight for me.  She was strong, funny, level headed.  She would never be on the show now because she isn't nearly dramatic enough.  She'd kick all their asses though. Anyway, I digress... As a younger woman, Jeana was a model and like most models in the 80's, she married a baseball player.  When the show started they were still married but they soon divorced. Now I learn that Jeana Keough once had the great Patrick Nagel paint her likeness and that painting was just auctioned in October.  Bringing in an impressive $350,000!
"This Patrick Nagel of myself has hung in my bedroom 30 years today," she captioned an Instagram photo of the art piece. "In an hour it’s being sold at live.ha.com live auction at heritage auctions lot 8027 bring your a game!"
As to why she decided to part with the image, the mother of three added in the comments that "it’s something the kids don’t care about. I have more."  LET ME BE YOUR KID!!

Ellie Goulding Lists London Pad

Brit pop star Ellie Goulding recently sold her stunner townhouse just off the main artery of London’s Marylebone High Road.   The place is super industrial and has really great luxe details like under-lighting on the shelves and an exposed metal staircase twisting down the wall. At just under 3,000-square-feet, the home is walking distance to Regent’s Park and the bustling shops of Oxford Street.  Word is it has incredible acoustics, which means neighbors needn’t have feared Goulding blasting her tunes late into the night.   Wouldn't matter. The five-bedroom, three-bathroom abode has a lot more going for it than simply being a soundproofed party-pad. 2,961 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms   SOLD: $7,700,000 Brit pop star Ellie Goulding recently sold her stunner townhouse just off the main artery of London’s Marylebone High Road.   The place is super industrial and has really great luxe details like under-lighting on the shelves and an exposed metal staircase twisting down the wall.

Taylor Swift responds to Scooter Braun selling her music

Forgive my dad joke, but Taylor Swift ain't gonna shake this off and wont calm down. It was announced late yesterday that Scooter Braun had sold the rights to her first six albums just 7 months after his LLC acquired the massively popular catalog in a buy out of Nashville-based Big Machine Label Group (BMLG). There's been back and forth between the two moguls since he acquired the music.  Him saying he gave Taylor a chance to buy her music from him and her staunchly denying that. ...

Rick Moranis attacker arrested

Rick Moranis, if you don't know, is a rather beloved actor from Ghostbusters, Little Shop of Horrors, Honey I shrunk the Kids and a whole host of other films and tv.   Last month, while he was minding his own business, walking down 72nd street in New York City, a deranged man ran up and punched him in the head for no reason. That's not conjecture. The entire thing is on film and the two men had zero interaction as the attack began. Police put out an APB and asked the public to help ID the at...
