Even though he’d been divorced six times before, Larry King didn’t sign a prenup when he married Shawn Southwick in 1997. Last week the National Enquirer revealed that Shawn’s been screwing another dude for the past six months. But don’t worry, Larry’s getting screwed too. Out of 50 million dollars. An insider told the tabloid:
“Shawn has had her share of problems with pills. And to her credit — with Larry’s help — she went to rehab and cleaned up, but the cheating can’t be dismissed. Larry has every right to dump her for what she did to him. But Larry refuses to do that - right now. Still, the thought surely can’t have escaped him. If Larry decided to dump Shawn, he could be on the hook to her for $50 million — despite what she did to him. That’s a lot of money — and it’s only compounded by the grief she’s put him through.” (Print Edition - 11/24)
Am I the only one who sees the positive in all this? If Larry plays the sympathy card right, this would be the perfect time to finally get Shawn to do anal.

What comes in as devastating news, it has been confirmed that the body of Jennifer Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew Julian King was discovered earlier today (October 27) in a white SUV on Chicago’s West Side.
According to local law enforcement, sources have revealed that “the boy was shot multiple times in the back of the vehicle, with at least one gun shot to the head.”
As previously reported by the Gossip Girls, Jennifer Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew Julian King has been missing since her mother and brother were murdered this past Friday.
And now Chicago police have found the body of a young black boy in an SUV on the West Side of town. The vehicle matches the description of the getaway vehicle driven by murder suspect William Balfour.
In the wake of tragedy, Jennifer Hudson’s sister Julia has pleaded for her son’s safe return just one day after the Oscar winner’s mother and brother were found shot to death in their Chicago home, and nephew Julian King was kidnapped.
“I don’t care who you are, just let the baby go,” Julia Hudson said in a press conference held at the Pleasant Gift Missionary Baptist Church on Saturday. “I just want my son. He don’t deserve this.”
While most of the celebrity lifestyle seems glitzy and glamorous, Jaime King recently found out that fame also has its down side.
The “Sin City” actress reported that she’s recently been victimized by a stalker, to the point that police have already been involved to run interference.
Here's one we haven't seen in a while! Model turned actress Jamie King (who used to go by James King) hit up the trendy Hollywood eatery STK last night. We'll definitely be seeing more of the stunning "Sin City" starlet in the months to come - Jaime has several movies coming out, including "The Spirit," which will be released on Christmas Day.
"The Spirit" is from "300" and "Sin City" creator Frank Miller, and it also stars Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes and Samuel L. Jackson. Think you'll be checking it out when it hits theaters in a few months? We know we will!
It always seems like celebrity mothers lose their pregnancy weight instantaneously. And yesterday, Christina Aguilera was all about showing off her sexy post-pregnancy body, just six months after the birth of her son Max.
Posing for the paparazzi outside the Larry King Live studios, the “Ain’t No Other Man” songstress looked sexy and slim in a form-fitting grey hoodie and black leggings.

Oprah Winfrey has bought her ever-present best friend, Gale, a penthouse in New York City for $7.1 million. Page Six reports that it was purchased by a business with the name of Oprah’s recently departed cocker spaniel, Sophie:
GAYLE King, Oprah Winfrey’s best friend, has moved into a penthouse purchased in the name of Oprah’s recently departed pooch, Sophie. According to deed-transfer records released yesterday, a company called Sophie’s Penthouse LLC bought a $7.1 million full-floor sky palace atop the 36-floor building at 207 E. 57th St., reports The Post’s Braden Keil. It has three bedrooms, 31/2 baths, a large living room/dining area, and a 768-square-foot wraparound terrace.
Oprah was worth $1.4 billion in 2006 and she can easily makes the amount of money she spent on her girlfriend’s new apartment in interest. (It would take about two months assuming a 5% interest rate and about a billion in the bank.)
These two have denied repeated rumors that they’re more than just friends, with Oprah promising us that she’d tell us if something were going on, and saying that people just don’t understand a long-lasting deep friendship between two women.
For Oprah, a $7.1 million apartment is like one of us buying a friend some candles from Target. It’s a nice gesture that doesn’t cut into the budget at all. Oprah even set up a business with a cutesy name to give Gale the gift.
Oprah called her dog Sophie “my little girl,” and was devastated when she lost the dog to kidney failure on March 10th. It was the second death of one of Oprah’s beloved dogs in under a year. She lost another cocker spaniel ten months ago when the dog choked on a small ball while with a carer. Like Leona Helmsley, Oprah is said to be leaving her dogs $30 million in her will to ensure that they’re pampered in the event that she passes.
I wonder how much Gale will be getting. As much as we make fun of Oprah, I would surely kiss her ass if she was my friend. Like a nasty old aunt, you want to make sure she leaves you something.

You gotta hand it to Larry King… for being an old coot, he sure knows how to pick his guests. And yesterday Hayden Panettiere showed up at the CNN studios to tape her exclusive interview.
The “Heroes” hottie emerged from her vehicle to a mob of fans awaiting her arrival. But maybe next time she should have a look in the mirror first, as she had a pretty serious line of bronzer on her right jawline.
Scary book writer Stephen King and growly singer John Mellencamp have crafted some sort of stage musical. The Southern gothic tale will premiere in Atlanta, and hopefully lurch it's way up to Broadway. [AP]
She had an uber-successful run in Las Vegas over the past few years, and now Celine Dion is back to touring.
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer was spotted in Johannesburg, South Africa during the first leg of her world tour earlier today.

Time Magazine has a new interview with prolific horror author Stephen King, in which he bemoans how celebrity-obsessed the media is at the expense of actual news. He says that Time should declare Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan the people of the year so that we’ll have a discussion about why we’re elevating these do-nothing trainwrecks by paying so much attention to them. This is similar to Liz Smith’s suggestion that Internet Celebrity Gossip should be person of the year, since we never get a break from it anymore.
STEPHEN KING: So who’s going to be TIME Person of the Year?
TIME: I really don’t know, there’s a very small group of people who make that decision.I was thinking, I think it should be Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.
Really?
Yeah. You know, I just filmed a segment for Nightline, about [the movie version of his novella] The Mist, and one of the things I said to them was, you know, “You guys are just covering — what do they call it — the scream of the peacock, and you’re missing the whole fox hunt.” Like waterboarding [or] where all the money went that we poured into Iraq. It just seems to disappear. And yet you get this coverage of who’s gonna get custody of Britney’s kids? Whether or not Lindsay drank at her twenty-first birthday party, and all this other shit…
Do you actually think Britney and Lindsay should be on our cover?
Yeah, I do.
Sort of a, ‘This is what the media’s actually interested it, so let’s just put it out there’ thing?
I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy. We’ve switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics — trying to play a serious part in the world — to a culture that’s really entertainment-based. I mean, I know people who can tell you who won the last four seasons on American Idol and they don’t know who their f—— Representatives are….
But you’ve been well in the public eye for decades now. Is it pretty blatant how much worse it’s gotten?
It’s worse every year. And the guy says to me — the Nightline guy — I didn’t get the guy’s name. Granted, I haven’t been feeling real well and it was a long day of interviews. But he said to me, “If we didn’t cover cultural things, we wouldn’t be covering you and The Mist, and promoting the movie.” And I’m like, “Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan aren’t cultural.” They aren’t political. They’re economic only in the mildest sense of the word. In fact, if I had to pick somebody, some celebrity who has had some impact this year, some sort of echo in the larger American life, I would say Hannah Montana. That whole issue of online ticket sales and scalping fascinates me. There are [legitimate] issues there about the Internet, so that actually does seem to have some cultural significance. But Britney? Britney Spears is just trailer trash. That’s all. I mean, I don’t mean to be pejorative. But you observe her behavior for the past five years and you say, “Here’s a lady who can’t take care of her kids, she can’t take care of herself, she has no retirement fund, everything that she gets runs right through her hands.” And yet, you know and I know that if you go to those sites that tell you what the most blogged-about things on the Internet are, it’s Britney, it’s Lindsay. So I think it would be terrific [to have them as TIME Persons of the Year]. There would be such a scream from the American reading public, sure. But at the same time, it’s time for somebody to discuss the difference between real news and fake news.
That’s great how he just lays it out there and says she’s trash, and that it’s ridiculous that we pay so much attention to her when she contributes so little to society. We’re a gossip blog and Lindsay and Britney have received so much undeserved press that we’ve decided to stop covering them for stretches at a time. I know in King’s estimation we’re part of the problem, and that’s true, but hopefully our gossip is just part of your balanced news diet. When they’re aren’t a lot of other options of what to pay attention to, that’s just sad. Kind of like Britney’s life, which consists mainly of the pursuit of mindless entertainment like shopping, eating, and staying at hotels.
Stephen King is promoting his new horror film, The Mist, which was out in the US on November 21 and stars Thomas Jane, and Marcia Gay Harden. It is getting mixed but mostly positive reviews.
