Chris Rock is rebooting the ‘Saw’ movies

I don't know where you can go with a film series that already has EIGHT movies made about the same premise. Which is essentially "you have an hour to perform a vivisection on yourself".  But Chris Rock thinks he's just the man to do it. According to Deadline.com, Rock is teaming with Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate to rehash the tired torture porn series with an eye for a fall 2020 release. “When Chris Rock came to us and described in chilling detail his fantastic vision that reimagines and spi...

The source claimed that she 'continues to drink and abuse the people around her', adding: 'She doesn’t seem to be making any kind of progress.' It's been a rough couple of years for Locklear who has been dealing with substan...

Huge week in the art sales world, record set

It pains a lot of people to see individual works of art sell for insane amounts of money, when so many current artist still can't afford rent, but that's the game and when you play you know the rules. This week Christies auctioned off Jeff Koon's iconic "rabbit" sculpture.  The piece was made in 1986 when Jeff felt inspired by a childs toy.  Art dealer Bob Mnuchin, the father of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, made the winning bid for $91.1 million.  Making it the highest amount paid for work by a living artist.  Previously (as in just last year) that honor went to David Hockney who's "Portrait of the artist" sold for just over $90m.

Celebs and mega rich party at the Statue of Liberty

Last night the 14 acre Liberty Island turned into a hot spot like no other.  Billionaires and celebrities gathered in droves to celebrate the opening of the Statue of Liberty Museum. At one table, Hillary Clinton was spotted chatting with Oprah Winfrey. Before long, billionaire IAC chairman Barry Diller, in attendance with wife and designer Diane von Furstenberg, joined Clinton and Winfrey at the table.   Gayle King, David Letterman, Michael Bloomberg and even Andy Cohen.  Who I love...

Paris Hilton calls Lindsay Lohan Lame on Andy Cohen Show

lol So I'm not exactly a Paris Hilton supporter.  I think she's pretty damn phony, but I also think she's really good at being phony and has made a great living at it.  But if I was to arrange these "party for a living" girls in order, Lohan would definitely be below Paris.  So I delighted in this video of Paris answer Andy Cohens 3 scandalous questions. If you can't watch it, I'll tell you below what happens. When asked to say three nice things about Lindsay Lohan, Paris said "she's....

‘Thor’ actor Isaac Kappy dead at 42 after jumping off bridge

Wow. I've heard this mans name (Issac Kappy) several times. When he supposedly choked Paris Jackson at a party, when he accused Steven Speilberg and Seth Green of pedophilia.  And once again when Paris moved out of her home b/c she felt unsafe with him knowing where she lived. So there have been issues plaguing this person for years. Kappy reportedly jumped to his death from a bridge in Bellemont, Arizona, a spokesperson with the Arizona Department of Public Safety confirmed to Deadlin...

Kristin Davis is selling her Brentwood estate

Kristin Davis may be best known for lighting up New York, but she has a real estate gem in Los Angeles and it's just been reduced. Kristen bought the sun filled home in 1998 for $690k. So dropping from $3.3m to $3.1m shouldn't sting much at all.  Listing deets:

$3,095,000   4 bd   3.5 ba   4,043 sqft

Master Suite includes a flexible space for exercise/yoga studio, study or nursery, and a spacious closet with walnut cabinetry.

Tim Conway, dead at 85

I don't usually subscribe to the so called "rule of threes".  That celebrities die in 3's.  Its usually some nobody that rounds it out.  But this last week has really been hard on our old timey stars.  Peggy Lipton, Doris Day and now Tim Conway. Tim was a staple on The Carol Burnett Show and enjoyed constant fame even into his 70's. He was even in episodes of the Simpsons, 30 Rock and Spongebob! Conway's longtime colleague, Vicki Lawrence, also paid tribute. "Hysterical, crazy, bold, fea...

Upon landing they were stopped by customs who discovered they had nearly 5,000 cannabis plants...

Lena Dunham & Brad Pitt are adorable together? Yes.

  I am honestly so envious.  This Brad Pitt stays handsome and sweet forever and I want to hang out with him.  But Lena got to. On Lena Dunhams 33rd birthday, which was Monday, she posted pics of a fundraiser she hosted last week for Friendly House, a recovery house for women.  Lena herself is proud as punch to say she is sober one year in April and clearly feels passionately about the facility. Brad and Lena costar in the upcoming movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and so when she asked him to attend, the adorable Brad said of course.  Lena shared snaps of them hugging on Instagram and I'm just green.

I may own a birthday bitch hat, but IRL I’m no big birthday bitch. For someone who loves both attention and presents, I’ve sure cancelled a lotta bday parties at the last minute (a special sorry to @mattpolf who had already hired a crafting teacher last year, and @lesleyarfin who was ready to DJ in 2011.) I used to think there was something a bit unseemly about an adult leaning into their birthday, until I realized I was actually just jealous of the confidence and self-love it takes to say “it’s my day, people!” I often felt I was making up for some original sin and that the nicest thing I could do for others on my birthday was make myself as unobtrusive as possible (it never worked and I usually either barfed or cried.) But this year is different. This year I’m... wait for it... happy. And so grateful for where I am, who I am, and everyone who has helped me on my journey to health & sobriety. 32 was good to me, and for 33 I wanted to say a big old thank you. So I hosted a Spring fundraiser for @friendlyhousela (the first recovery home for women in the United States) in LA last week. It was the best day ever and @anniecampbell literally brought a Pinterest board to life!!! And today, rather than presents, I’d love for you to donate to Friendly House, which is dedicated to helping women navigate the journey through addiction to recovery. It’s a journey I know first hand can only be attempted with love and support, which is why I have started a scholarship fund for women who are determined to recover but don’t have the financial means to begin. Go to the link in my bio to donate. Thank you to everyone who came out to support last week; you melt my heart. Thank you for the birthday wishes. And a special thank you to those of you who donate. It brings me such joy to think of how together we can directly affect so many women who have forgotten that they matter. Let’s remind them! Lots of LOVE xo

Britney Spears Joins the “Free Britney” movement

Keeping up with the mishagos that is Britney's life is a full time job. Also just happens to be my job. Ever since last month when Britney was checked into an LA rehab, fans have been raising hell and even protesting that Britney was being held against her will.  For a while, Britney would seem to deny those allegations.  She was seen leaving the rehab a few times with bf Sam and seemed in good spirits. Then came Friday when she was seen leaving a court house with bare feet and lookin...

‘Empire’ to end after next season

I don't know if it was the Jussie scandal or poor ratings, but Fox announced this morning that "Empire" will conclude next season.  The shows 6th season. “We are turning the final season into a television event,” Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier said. “One of the great benefits of announcing a final season announce have the fans lean in have the finale they desire.” When pressed on whether Jussie Smollett would be returning for the show’s final season, Collier said, ...
