Even Celebrities Can Get Kicked To the Curb

by

Evictions can be less about not having money, and more about biting off more than you can chew. Kenya Moore, Fantasia, and Soulja Boy are three of the high profile evictions you’ve heard about, and there are dozens of examples of the rich and famous trying to live above and beyond what they can pay for. These aren’t reality show evictions either – these are ‘actually real’. You may have a mansion, but you’re not going to keep it very long if you can’t figure out how to pay for it. There are a few other reasons landlords might be in it to win it against celebs as well, so some stories go a little deeper than money.

Looking for Attention

In some eviction cases, either the landlord or the tenant might just be looking for attention. Often with celebrities, just selling a story to a publication might be worth more than trying to get the money from the actor/musician/socialite themselves. And, if the celebrity is looking for a way back into the spotlight, a down and dirty expose about bad money management may just do the trick. All news is good news when it comes to publicity, right?

4 Iconic Office Characters

by

The typical office, regardless of the country or era, is a prime spot for a television or movie set because it’s so relatable. No matter what kind of job you have now, there’s a good chance you worked in an office at one point, or at least you hear your friends talking about it. An office environment itself can even take on a character role, showing viewers instantly whether the environment is prim and proper, boring, sleek and modern, or a veritable hell hole that drives the characters insane.

It’s the addition to such environment such as gorgeous desktop displays that can suggest the environment is nurturing. However, stark white cubicles where everyone seems to be in mini prisons suggests the opposite. Check out these iconic office characters from the big and small screen and choose your favorite:

1. Michael from “The Office”

Carell adapted the equally mentionable UK’s “The Office” for an American audience perfectly. In fact, every character on the show deserves mention for perfectly mimicking and poking fun at the average office life. While few people (fortunately) had a boss like Michael, it was easy to spot the worst characteristics of your office-mates in his character and everyone else’s.

Cesar Millan Pays Ex-Wife $400,000 To Keep Quiet

by

Cesar Millan is definitely digging deep in his doggie stash to keep the peace with his ex-wife. After ending their marriage in June 2010, the 42 year old Animal Planet superhero doesn’t seem fazed with his ex-wife’s financial demands to keep her silence.

Millan has agreed to appease his ex spouse, Ilusion,  with a mouth dropping $400,000 lump sum payment. On top of this, he pays $10,000 a month in child support  and  $23,000 monthly alimony. Cesar and his wife were married for 16 years and have two sons.

Whispers of documents that have been in court settlement for the couple say that the former Mrs. Millan has agreed in return, to keep in confidentiality any personal/private information about the other party and  any sexual details of their relationship. This also shall include non-commercial photographs, film or videotapes and recordings.

We are in utter wonderment of these said materials since there have been no specific mention of any explicit goings- on in the personal life of our favourite Mexican kennel mentor. At the time of their separation, they seem to have been in good grounds and kept firm on being caring friends and committed parents to their sons.

Oh well, this financial settlement may just as be chump change for the famous dog whisperer as his  multiple Emmy nominated show grosses $170,000 a month. And afterall, we all know we can’t put a real price on freedom and happiness.

Josh Duhamel Returns to All My Children

by

Most of you girls out there might have to skip work and take the day off to watch the final episodes of All My Children on ABC, as the show draws to a close this fall. Josh Duhamel is up for a cameo role as his old character in Pine Valley, Leo du Pres.  Yeah, you read that right! Now you can scream into that pillow an breathe. You’re handsome strapping Transformers GI has signed up for this short comeback in honor of the show that took him on an express ride to stardom.

Duhamel rose to fame playing Leo du Pres in this long-running daytime soap. He even won an Emmy in 2002 for his con artist character.  His love interest in the show , Greenlee , who is played by Rebecca Budig, is also back on the set after leaving the program a few time since Josh Duhamel left the show in 2003.

True enough, the cameo appearance of Leo will be one of the highlights of this season ender as we may also expect  another on-screen affair between du Pres and Greenlee.

Apparently, Josh Duhamel isn’t the only actor doing a comeback to his soap beginnings before their beloved series takes the axe. Julian Moore, who starred in As the World Turns many moons ago, also returned to the show last year just prior to the soap leaving the airwaves. On January 2012, ABC will see One Life to Live bowing out of the tubes.  We may just as well see many big screen stars doing their own returns to this soap before it finally sees its last episode on air. These could include, Ryan Phillipe and Tommy Lee Jones.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Returns to Television

by

For all you Buffy fans, guess who’s back from the vampire grave? After an 8 year break, Sarah Michelle Gellar resurrects onto the boob tube for CW network with its drama series “Ringer”.

Although Gellar had already considered a TV comeback two years ago, she made it clear that she wanted to get back on cable.  The actress also wanted to make sure that her fans would love whatever she does on TV as much as they loved growing up with Buffy.  Her new project seems to hold a lot of promise but is yet to prove its boob tube appeal with Buffy’s loyal fans.

The new CW series features Gellar’s role as a twin.  A recovering addict who is estranged from her wealthy twin sister, and goes on the run when she witnessed a murder. The story line boasts  of a juicy plot and reveals a lot of shocking twists.  This project was previously made for CBS but they passed it on to its sister network CW. Although the series is still in progress and only has the pilot on the table, it remains unsure if it will run as a full series.

After her stint with “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and the show came to a close in 2003, Gellar dipped her toes in “ The Grudge” and did some voice over for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”.  She also married long time boyfriend Freddie Prinze Jr in September of 2001. The couple now have a daughter.
