Think He's Jealous?

Julian McMahon is a bona fide hunk, but is it possible that he felt a tinge of jealousy yesterday as he watched the ridiculously ripped Mario Lopez prance around on the beach? The two actors were in Long Beach filming a scene for the sixth and final season of Nip/Tuck, and Julian seemed eager to cover up his body, while Mario proudly showed off his goodies. Hmmmm...
Who's hotter?

Merv Griffin’s company suing Ed McMahon over $100,000 unpaid loan
Posted: September 30th, 2008, 2:52pm CDT by MSat

More bad news for financially strapped Ed McMahon: he’s being sued for non-payment of a debt by the company of his late friend, Merv Griffin. McMahon took out a $100k loan from Merv back in 2005, but so far he has never made a payment on it. Now that Griffin has passed away, it’s up to his company to collect the cash from McMahon- who is about to lose his home and is already being sued for $180,000 in credit card debt.Court documents show a company founded by Merv Griffin is suing Ed McMahon for a $100,000 loan it claims has gone unpaid.
The Griffin Group Inc. claims it loaned the money to McMahon, Johnny Carson’s sidekick on the “Tonight” show, in 2005. The company filed the suit on Thursday and states that none of the loan has been repaid.
McMahon’s publicist didn’t directly address the lawsuit, instead asking, “Anybody wanna buy a nice house in The Summit?”
The quote is an allusion to McMahon’s hilltop home, which is facing foreclosure. The former pitchman also faces numerous other lawsuits filed on behalf of creditors.
Griffin, the longtime talk-show host who created “Jeopardy” and “Wheel of Fortune,” died in 2007.
This is evidence that Ed and his wife have been having financial problems for quite a while. But I think that if Merv Griffin were still alive, he wouldn’t be suing Ed McMahon over a hundred grand. Back in 1986, he sold his production company to Coca Cola for a cool $250 million, and while he never revealed what he was worth, it was estimated at the time of Merv’s death that he was a billionaire. So this lawsuit against a guy who is about to be put out of his house seems a little extreme. Way to kick a guy when he’s already down! What would Merv think?

Ed McMahon Raps For FreeCreditReport.com

Tags: Ed McMahon
At a time in his life when he should be playing golf and looking forward to visits with his grandkids, veteran Hollywood actor/side kick, Ed McMahon has been reduced to public embarrassment just to make ends meet. Ed has been hired to film a viral video for FreeCreditReport.com in which he raps, wears some ridiculous street clothes and trots around with some ho-licious girls.
I’m just going to assume you all know the story of how Ed so broke that he would take this shameful gig…if not Google it. It involves his wife and a serious shopping addiction.
ET will have some early clips of Ed and his honies and the sure to be stuck in your head jingle on Friday’s show. On a postive note, Ed and the catch tune that is sure to come along with this commercial will no doubt be etched in our minds forever more. A’la the “Where’s the Beef?” lady

Ed McMahon pimps out his last shred of dignity to star in credit report ads
Posted: September 25th, 2008, 2:28pm CDT by MSat
Tags: Ed McMahon
Elderly and indebted Ed MacMahon was once Hollywood royalty. He was Johnny Carson’s sidekick for 30 years and was the producer of such hit shows as Star Search and TV Bloopers & Practical Jokes. Today, Ed is a high-end victim of the real estate crunch, and owes $644,000 in back payments on his home while being sued for racking up more than $180,000 in credit card debt. Since his days of announcing or handing out giant checks for Publisher’s Clearing House are long gone, McMahon has resorted to rapping in a new series of viral videos for the company FreeCreditReport.com. Oh, the humanity.Ed McMahon has an unexpected new job title: rapper.
The 85-year-old former “Tonight Show” sidekick will star in two viral rap videos for FreeCreditReport.com, a financial Web site owned by credit bureau Experian. The videos feature McMahon wearing a tracksuit, being chauffeured around Los Angeles in a Cadillac Escalade golf cart and waxing lyrical about his very public financial troubles.
“I knew I could sing the blues, but I didn’t know I could rap,” McMahon said Wednesday.
The videos will appear online in October.
Charles Harris, FreeCreditReport.com’s vice president of strategic marketing, said the company sought out McMahon to star in the humorous spots after seeing him openly discuss his finances on “Larry King Live.” Harris said McMahon represents “a man who is taking charge.”
In the first video, McMahon _ who once pitched the American Family Publishing sweepstakes _ and a bodyguard are cruising through a neighborhood looking for sweepstakes winners to ask for some money back, but McMahon doesn’t actually go through with it. In the second spot, McMahon dons a new suit after undergoing a financial and emotional makeover.
“When I retired, I was famous,” McMahon raps in the video. “I had money and glory/I bought a house for 6 mill/I thought nothing could touch me/Until my credit went south, and debt started to crunch me/Next thing I know, instead of playing gin rummy, I was scrambling just to make ends meet/It wasn’t funny.”
After being joined by two scantily clad women, McMahon continues: “Got a bump from the media chumps, but that was temporary/Wife with bad credit was scary, so I got wise/I may have fallen, but I got back up/Now I’m back on the attack, like a ninja swinging nunchucks/I told the haters, ‘Go on, take a hike’/It’s my show now, and I can do what I like.”
McMahon said he spent one day in the studio recording the rap. He said he hopes his participation will inspire viewers to learn from his mistakes and become more aware about their finances.
When asked if he would consider releasing a full-length rap album, McMahon said: “Not immediately.”
Well, I’ll say this for the guy: at least he can keep his sense of humor. Looks like he is cashing in on what’s left of his fame to keep himself afloat financially. I do have to wonder about the line in his “rap” referring to his “wife with bad credit.” Speculation has been swirling for some time that his much younger wife, Pam, is at the root of much of McMahon’s financial woes. Apparently, Pam takes the term “retail therapy” to a whole new level.

Paris Hilton’s “dog friendly” reputation has gone down the shitter with numerous rumors of her neglecting pets, and apparently the employees at The Puppy Store on Melrose Avenue were aware of this. Last weekend Paris was headed to a photo shoot and decided, out of the blue, that she wanted a puppy because she thought the pictures would be “cuter”. The dumbass went into the pet store, probably strutted around the room a couple of times and quickly decided she wanted a Yorkshire Terrier. The store’s employee, not wanting to see an animal go to someone who would make such a decision on impulse, refused to sell the dog to her. Paris blew a gasket, screaming, “I love my puppies! I want my baby!” and left without a dog.
Rumor has it Ed McMahon’s wife of 16 years, Pamela McMahon, is spending her husband’s money hand over fist. She loves to shop and apparently acts completely unaware of their financial problems. Just on one AmEx card alone they owe $750K. Although many of Ed’s friends and colleagues would like to help him out financially, they worry that it will only encourage Pamela to keep spending freely. Sadly, Donald Trump is using Ed’s money problems to gain publicity for himself, announcing loudly to the public that he wants to help the 85-year-old. However, he has only said this to the cameras . . not Ed. A source close to Ed hinted, “people who are talking publicly aren’t necessarily the ones who are helping.”
Queen Latifah, 38, who has been a Jenny Craig spokesperson since January, is inspiring plus sized women to lead healthy lifestyles. She says she initially signed up, not to get skinny, but instead to get healthy. “My intention was to lose five to 10 percent of my body weight because it makes a difference with health related issues, and I achieved that goal in a couple of months. I’m excited about this weight loss.” Latifah is also going to the gym five to seven days a week, switching between the treadmill or elliptical machine. “My jeans are looser, I feel more energetic. People dig it. They come up to me and say ‘I’m glad you’re talking about the health side of it.’ People get that message, which is important too. They see that I’m doing this for the health reasons but also say, ‘She’s still representing for the big girls. She hasn’t abandoned us!’ This is me doing something for me, but if I am going to be a role model I hope people can catch on.”
Gavin Rossdale recently said that his pregnant wife Gwen Steffani is under tremendous pressure by the media to lose the baby weight once she gives birth. Gwen is due with the couple’s second child this summer. Gavin says he feels terrible that his wife has to worry about it. “Yeah, she does (feel under pressure). I mean, she’s just so dedicated and she’s just amazing with that stuff (weight loss). It’s very hard because everyone’s so judged the whole time.”
