Dead last in the ratings and nearly canceled after its first year, ‘Cheers‘ went on to become one of the most successful sitcoms in history.
Let’s revisit the happy half-hour at the bar where everybody knows your name to find out what the regulars have been up to since Sam’s joint was shuttered 15 years ago.
TED DANSON
Sam Malone (1982-1993)
Then: Former Red Sox pitcher, recovering alcoholic and unrepentant ladies man Sam Malone was rarely Sam Alone as bartender/owner of the Cheers pub. Whether he was romancing Diane or indulging in one-night stands, his banter with the barflies was as nonstop as his love life.
Now: Post-’Cheers,’ Danson dated Whoopi Goldberg and caused an uproar by donning blackface for a Friar’s Club roast. Since marrying Mary Steenburgen in 1995, he’s starred in ‘Becker,’ supported eco-causes and dabbled in home-brewed scotch (Danson’s Best).
Now: Shelley left ‘Cheers’ for movie stardom that never quite happened (‘The Money Pit,’ ‘Troop Beverly Hills’), but stayed in the game by playing Carol Brady in ‘The Brady Bunch Movie’ and appearing in scads of episodic TV, including several eps of the ‘Cheers’ spin-off ‘Frasier.’
KIRSTIE ALLEY
Rebecca Howe (1987-1993)
Then: Neurotic businesswoman Rebecca became Sam’s foil and femme fatale after Diane left. She didn’t just turn up the heat — she burned Cheers down at one point. And though she swooned over rich men, she flushed her ambitions of wealth by marrying a plumber (Tom Berenger) in the series finale.
Now: Kirstie hit it big with ‘Veronica’s Closet’; and after her Showtime comedy ‘Fat Actress,’ she cagily parlayed her weight problem into a gig with Jenny Craig. Dropped by Jenny in 2008, Alley’s exploring her own diet business. An active Scientologist, she ranks as Operating Thetan Level 7.
RHEA PERLMAN
Carla Tortelli-LeBec (1982-1993)
Then: This sharp-tongued barmaid had a harsh word for everyone: “If you can’t say anything nice, say it about Diane.” Appearing in all 273 episodes (along with Sam and Norm), Perlman’s Carla had eight kids, two ex-husbands, and one TV-requisite heart of gold.
Now: Perlman’s ‘The Tortellis’ was the first ‘Cheers’ spin-off but lasted only 13 episodes, sparking protests for perpetuating Italian-American stereotypes. These days, Perlman’s busy with stage and screen work; she authored the Otto Undercover children’s book series and is married to Danny DeVito.
WOODY HARRELSON
Woody Boyd (1985-1993)
Then: Stepping in to fill the “adorable dumb guy” role after Coach died, assistant bartender and full-time straight man Woody was the butt of many jokes, most of them based on his relentlessly good-hearted idiocy.
Now: After years of playing dumb, Woody made a lot of smart career moves, starring in hit movies like ‘White Men Can’t Jump,’ ‘Indecent Proposal’ and ‘Kingpin.’ Nominated for an Oscar in ‘The People Versus Larry Flynt,’ Harrelson also champions environmental causes and the legalization of marijuana.
GEORGE WENDT
Norm Peterson (1982-1993)
Then: Ultimate regular Norm (or “NOOORM!”) was a beer-drinking machine who joked constantly with bar staff and his snide-kick, Cliff. A six-time Emmy nominee and a very Norm-like six-time loser, Wendt appeared in every ‘Cheers’ episode.
Now: Wendt’s career has mostly amounted to appearances as Norm on series like ‘St. Elsewhere,’ ‘Wings,’ ‘The Simpsons’ and ‘Frasier.’ In 1993, Wendt and John “Cliff” Ratzenberger sued (and settled with) Paramount for using their likenesses on robot characters at a chain of ‘Cheers’-themed bars.
JOHN RATZENBERGER
Cliff Clavin (1982-1993)
Then: After auditioning unsuccessfully for the part of Norm, Ratzenberger convinced producers that Cheers needed a know-nothing know-it-all. So they created mama’s boy mailman Cliff to wax erroneous on topics like how the first Thanksgiving involved ancient Egyptians and space aliens.
Now: Since ‘Cheers,’ Ratzenberger has had a full dance card, including lasting six weeks on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ His voice is featured in all of Pixar’s movies (‘Toy Story,’ ‘Finding Nemo,’ ‘Cars,’ etc.), and he hosts the Travel Channel series ‘John Ratzenberger’s Made in America.’
KELSEY GRAMMER
Frasier Crane (1984-1993)
Then: Freudian fussbudget Frasier joined the ‘Cheers’ party two years late, but stayed to the bittersweet end with his smart putdowns and snooty ‘tude. Left at the altar by Diane, the Harvard shrink married fellow intellectual Lilith before dumping her on the way to his own hit sitcom in Seattle.
Now: As Frasier, Grammer enjoyed a 20-year run on ‘Cheers’ and ‘Frasier’; he also won an Emmy as Sideshow Bob on ‘The Simpsons.’ And despite early personal traumas, including the murders of his father and sister, Grammer continues to succeed, bouncing back with the 2007 sitcom ‘Back to You.’
BEBE NEUWIRTH
Lilith Stermin (1986-1993)
Then: Uptight Frasier met his match in psychiatrist Lilith, whose ice-queen exterior housed a smoldering sensuality. The combustible pair married and had a child, but split when she ran off to live in an eco-pod with a colleague.
Now: After the bar closed, Neuwirth, already a theater veteran, lit up the Great White Way as Velma Kelly in ‘Chicago,’ winning her second Tony. Between film and stage roles she also earned her third Emmy by reprising Lilith on ‘Frasier.’
NICHOLAS COLASANTO
Ernie ‘Coach’ Pantusso (1982-1985)
Then: Though he’d been Sam’s Red Sox mentor, the dim-bulb barman said he got the name because he liked flying coach.
Now: Colasanto’s unexpected death at 61 was a cruel blow. ‘Cheers’ kept Coach alive for a time with outtakes, and honored him by hanging his prized Geronimo portrait on set.
JAY THOMAS
Eddie LeBec
Then: Boston Bruins hockey goalie Eddie scored with Carla and married her after she got pregnant. But Thomas was written off the show for insulting Rhea Perlman’s looks on his radio talk show. Oops! The writers banished Eddie to a traveling ice show, where he was killed by a Zamboni machine.
Now: After getting iced by ‘Cheers’ scribes, Thomas played radio talker Jerry Gold on ‘Murphy Brown.’ And he continued the shock jock routine in real life, currently hosting a show on Sirius. When he’s not broadcasting or acting, Thomas sells real estate in Santa Barbara, California.
DAN HEDAYA
Nick Tortelli
Then: A sleazebag deadbeat dad, Carla’s ex-hubby was an easy mark for putdowns in the pub. Nick married bombshell Loretta in Season 2 to irk Carla, but his exes ultimately bonded over his odious personality.
Now: The longtime character actor made a go of the ill-fated ‘Cheers’ spinoff ‘The Tortellis,’ returning to film to play Alicia Silversone’s dad in ‘Clueless’ and Richard Nixon in ‘Dick.’ Among his dozens of stage and screen roles was a touching turn on ‘Monk’ as Adrian’s long-lost dad.
JEAN KASEM
Loretta Tortelli
Then: The second wife of Carla’s ex-husband Nick, ditzy aspiring singer Loretta described herself as a “taller, blonder, less-Mormon Marie Osmond.” She went from being Carla’s rival to her ally against Nick when she “realized that Carla and I are both women.”
Now: Jean is the spouse of influential rock radio legend Casey Kasem. Despite a series of small movie and TV roles, she’s been more successful in business, creating Little Liberty Cribs, a unique line of round and heart-shaped baby beds (for which she holds 11 patents).
ROGER REES
Robin Colcord
Then: Billionaire blowhard Robin wooed and wowed Rebecca, who was smitten by his cash — until Sam caught Robin conspiring to swindle the corporation that owned Cheers and frame Rebecca for it. Robin got busted, went on the lam and was later left at the altar by Rebecca.
Now: Having appeared in a wide range of stage and screen roles, he’s probably best known stateside as eccentric British diplomat Lord John Marbury on ‘The West Wing.’ He also popped recently up on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ as Cristina Yang’s ex-paramour, Dr. Colin Marlow.
HARRY ANDERSON
Harry the Hat
Then: Drawing upon Anderson’s real-life background as a street magician and his popular magic-comedy act, Harry the Hat thrived on the gullible marks at Cheers. He used his wiles to win bar bets from the regulars, but also helped Coach get back money he’d lost to one of Harry’s “associates.”
Now: Harry’s career did anything but disappear when he starred on the hit ‘Night Court’ and later on ‘Dave’s World.’ In 2000 Harry and his wife moved to New Orleans, opening a nightclub where Harry often performed; after Hurricane Katrina, they closed their club and moved to North Carolina.
JACKIE SWANSON
Kelly Gaines
Then: Woody took naive, rich girl Kelly to a monster truck pull on their first date, which put them on the bumpy road to matrimony. At their chaotic wedding, the minister died and tumbled onto the wedding cake. They lived hilariously ever after.
Now: A Prince pal who appeared in the singer’s ‘Raspberry Beret’ video (and for whom he wrote ‘Palomino Pleasure Ride’), Swanson didn’t have much to cheer about career-wise after she left the bar — just a few scant guest shots on shows like ‘NYPD Blue’ and ‘Cold Case.’ Call it the ‘Cheers’ hangover.
Let’s just say, Goldie Hawn has most definitely seen better days.
But the woman used to be hot!
Goldie Jean Hawn (born November 21, 1945) began her acting career as a cast member of the short-lived situation comedy Good Morning, World during the 1967-1968 television season, her role being that of the girlfriend of a radio disc jockey, with a stereotypical “dumb blonde” personality.
Her next role which brought her to international attention was as one of the regular cast members on the 1960s sketch comedy show, Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In.
On the show, she would often break out into high-pitched giggles in the middle of a joke, and deliver a polished performance a moment after. Noted equally for her chipper attitude as for her bikini and painted body, Hawn personified something of a 1960s “It” girl.
Hawn has been in a relationship with actor Kurt Russell since 1983, when the two reconnected on the set of Swing Shift (they previously met while filming 1968′s The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band).
Hawn became a grandmother on January 7, 2004, when her daughter, Kate Hudson, gave birth to son Ryder Russell Robinson. She then became a grandmother for a second time when son, Oliver Hudson and his wife, actress Erinn Bartlett, welcomed their son Wilder Brooks Hudson, on August 23, 2007.
Victoria Beckham is brave enough to walk the streets in some leggings so tight you can see her lady bits. That has to be uncomfortable.
A local radio station had created a song that paid homage to the camel toe. It has absolutely nothing to do with Victoria Beckham going out for some shopping, but appropriate nonetheless. It is NSFW by the way. Unless your boss is cool enough to find humor in “cooter cleavage.â€
At least her bag is fierce.

Ivan Dixon, best known for his role as Sergeant James Kinchloe on “Hogan’s Heroes,” died Sunday.
Actor Ivan Dixon, who brought the problems and promise of contemporary blacks to life in the film “Nothing But a Man” and portrayed the levelheaded POW Kinchloe in TV’s “Hogan’s Heroes,” has died. He was 76. Dixon died Sunday at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte after a hemorrhage, said his daughter, Doris Nomathande Dixon of Charlotte. He had suffered complications from kidney failure, she said.
Dixon, who also directed scores of television shows, began his acting career in the late 1950s. He appeared on Broadway in William Saroyan’s 1957 “The Cave Dwellers” and in playwright Lorraine Hansberry’s groundbreaking 1959 drama of black life, “A Raisin in the Sun.” In the latter, he played a Nigerian student visiting the United States, a role he repeated in the film version. While not a hit, the 1964 “Nothing But a Man,” in which Dixon co-starred with Abbey Lincoln, also drew praise as a rare, early effort to bring the lives of black Americans to the big screen. Other film credits included “Something of Value,” “A Patch of Blue” and the cult favorite “Car Wash.”
“As an actor, you had to be careful,” said Sidney Poitier, star of “Patch of Blue” and a longtime friend. “He was quite likely to walk off with the scene.”
In 1967, Dixon starred in a CBS Playhouse drama, “The Final War of Olly Winter,” about a veteran of World War II and Korea who decided that Vietnam would be his final war. The role brought Dixon an Emmy nomination for best single performance by an actor.
He was probably best known for the role of Staff Sgt. James Kinchloe on “Hogan’s Heroes,” the hit 1960s sitcom set in a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War II. The technically adept Kinchloe was in charge of electronic communications and could mimic German officers on the radio or phone.
Dixon was active in efforts to get better parts for blacks in movies and television, telling The New York Times in 1967: “Sponsors haven’t wanted anything negative connected with their products. We must convince them that the Negro is not negative.” “Heretofore, people have thought that, to use a Negro, the story must pit black against white. Maybe we’re getting to the problems of human beings who happen to be black.”
While Dixon was most proud of roles such as those in “A Raisin in the Sun” and “Nothing But a Man,” he had no problem about being recognized for Kinchloe, his daughter said. “It was a pivotal role as well, because there were not as many blacks in TV series at that time,” Nomathande Dixon said. “He did have some personal issues with that role, but it also launched him into directing.”
Dixon also directed numerous episodes of TV shows, including “The Waltons,” “The Rockford Files,” “Magnum, P.I.” and “In the Heat of the Night.”
I didn’t know about his directorial career and had forgotten he was in “Car Wash,” which I saw more than 30 years ago. His role as Kinchloe, though, was quite memorable. Interestingly, he was the only original cast member to leave the show before it ended its run.
I saw “Hogan’s Heroes” in reruns in the early 1970s, by which point it didn’t seem particularly unusual that a black NCO would be among the prisoners, so it never occurred to me that the role was groundbreaking. The same was true of Nichelle Nichols’ part in “Star Trek.”
As if my respect for this idiot couldn’t be any lower, Juvenile proves he is a complete waste of space.
The rapper’s flesh and blood daughter was killed by a 17 year old boy nearly two weeks ago. Last weekend his 4 year old little girl, Jelani, was laid to rest in a funeral service. Instead of taking a moment to grieve for his daughter and attend her funeral, Juvenile performed in Augusta, Georgia. After his performance for the Hypnotized tour he indulged in an after-party for the concert.
The concert was supposedly to raise funds for a memorial set up in Jelani’s memory. According a radio station in Augusta, Power 107, ticket sales were to benefit her. It is also claimed that the concert was set up before her death.
You can have that sack of crap because I am not buying it. Let’s think logically here. First, I don’t believe he couldn’t reschedule. His daughter was murdered…cancel if it is that big of a deal to reschedule. Your daughter is dead. Secondly, he went to the after party? What kind of heartless, selfish asshat is this guy? Yeah…looking at those photos of him at his concert he looks real sad. Congratulations….you just made Kevin Federline a better human being than you.

The question I’ve been asking since New York governor Eliot Spitzer got caught with a $5000 an hour hooker has been, What in the hell could a woman do in an hour that’d be worth $5000? And how hot would she have to be?
Would I hit it? Sure. For $500 an hour? Let alone $5000? Hell no.
Background info:
She left a broken home on the Jersey Shore at 17 and came to New York City to work the nightclubs as a rhythm and blues singer. Now, at 22, she is the unwitting, and as yet unseen, star of the seamy drama that is the downfall of Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York.
Kristen, the prostitute described in a federal affidavit as having had a rendezvous with Mr. Spitzer on Feb. 13 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, has spent the last few days in her ninth-floor apartment in the Flatiron district of Manhattan. On Monday, she made a brief appearance in federal court, where a lawyer was appointed to represent her. She is expected to be a witness in the case against four people charged with operating a prostitution ring called the Emperor’s Club V.I.P.
In a series of telephone interviews on Tuesday night, she said she had slept very little over the past week, with all the stress of the case. “I just don’t want to be thought of as a monster,†the woman said as she told the tiniest tidbits of her story.
She has not been charged. The lawyer appointed to represent her, Don D. Buchwald, told a magistrate judge in court on Monday that she had been subpoenaed to testify in a grand jury investigation. Asked to swear that she had accurately filled out and signed a financial affidavit, she responded affirmatively.
On the Web page is a recording of what she describes as her latest track, “What We Want,†a hip-hop-inflected rhythm-and-blues tune that asks, “Can you handle me, boy?†and uses some dated slang, calling someone her “boo.â€
“I know what you want, you got what I want,†she sings in the chorus. “I know what you need. Can you handle me?â€
Her MySpace biography says she started singing professionally after a musician she was living with heard her singing the Aretha Franklin hit “Respect†in the shower and burst into the bathroom with his lead guitarist. She says she toured and recorded with them, then moved to Manhattan in 2004 and “spent the first two years getting to know the music scene, networking in clubs and connecting with the industry. “Now it’s all about my music, it’s all about expressing me.â€
In the affidavit, the woman the Emperor’s Club called Kristen is described as “an American, petite, very pretty brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds.†She apparently was booked at about $1,000 an hour, placing her in the middle of the seven-diamond scale by which the prostitutes were paid up to $4,300 an hour.
“She is a very bright girl who can handle someone like the governor,†Ms. Capalbo said. “But she also is a 22-year-old, not a 32-year-old or a 42-year-old, and she obviously got involved in something much larger than her.â€
Yeah, no joke.

Hugh Laurie admitted to Radio Times magazine that in order to perfect his character on “House,†he experimented with Vicodin. The pain killer is addictive and his character on the show, Dr. Gregory House, relies on it.
“I wouldn’t recommend it — we have to be careful. But then again … if you’re not in pain it gives a floaty, pleasurable feeling. I’m hugely surprised House survives. The odds are against you in this competitive business; wolves snap at your heels. It’s hard to say if I’m pleased with the show.â€
Laurie, a London native, finds his American accent boorish. He prefers being across the pond, but finds he gets a lot of grief for having success in the U.S.
“I avert my eyes when my children have it on. I hate seeing myself, but it’s even worse hearing my American accent … I had no idea I sound so retarded, a dull monotone, full of clunking mistakes. There’s a notion that I’ve sold out. Sold out what exactly? There’s a peculiar British attitude that I took an oath I wouldn’t be successful, and reneged on it.â€
Vicodin for “research purposes.†That is genius. Why didn’t I think of that. It’s better than Lindsay Lohan’s excuse for using it to help wash down the vodka and blow.

Ashlee Simpson was reportedly hammered on Tuesday during her interview on Washington D.C.’s Hot 99.5 Kane in the Morning Show. After walking into the booth she sat down and slurred her words during the entire questioning. Ashlee also giggled like a school girl who got into her mom’s wine coolers and even forgot the lyrics to her song. To add to that, she got a horrible tattoo done the night before.
Instead of letting her rep do the damage control, she decided to clear things up via Myspace. Genius. She pointed the finger at her stooper to a “crazy hectic schedule.â€
I take my work very seriously and would never disrespect anyone and come into an interview that way. Here is the honest to God truth and this is for none other then my fans: The night before I had a good friend come to my hotel to give me a tattoo. When I arrived to the radio station I showed them the tattoo I got the night before. It is my belief that they automatically assumed that because I got a tattoo I must have drank that night. I would never get a tattoo after drinking nor would a reputable tattoo artist do a tattoo after someone was drinking. When I walked into the radio station I was thrown into the interview. They didn’t even introduce themselves to me before starting it, and just put me on the air.
So in summary ….Ashlee doesn’t believe tattoo artists will permanently etch “Bitch-Hole†on your forehead if you are drunk, high or tripping on peyote if you give them money, nor would she ever disrespect her fans by being drunk during an interview….but isn’t above lip-synching during a live show.
Nothing like some random tranny-looking radio host dishing about a lesbian rendezvous to tarnish your rep. A Philadelphia radio DJ by the name of Golden Girl is reportedly penning a tell-all on her sexual liaison with Lil’ Kim.
“We were in some exquisitely designed bedroom, where she was dressed in a thong…period. We were drinking Cristal, and I couldn’t believe I was about to have sex with a chick. I felt a little weird, although I do chix with chix parties, and have a series of chix with chix DVD’s. I have seen it in person at clubs, and have been asked by chicks to have it done, but I have never done it, or had it done to me by a chick.â€
This isn’t the first time Golden Girl, a.k.a Lisa Natson, has accused a celebrity of shady dealings. In 2004 she alleged that a bodyguard for “Fabolous†had attacked her. The guard threw her to the ground rendering her unable to walk without the aid of crutches for a few weeks. She also claims to have bedded Ice-T and his wife Coco.
The excerpt from the book describing, in detail, her encounter with the rapper is beyond trashy romance novel. It is lascivious and reads like a narrated porn. The full excerpt is available by clicking continued below. It is NSFW.
Anyway, there I was, in a position I had never been in, laying in bed with the Queen Bee, ready to eat her p*ssy. We were in some exquisitely designed bedroom, where she was dressed in a thong…period. We were drinking Cristal, and I couldn’t believe I was about to have sex with a chick. I felt a little weird, although I do chix with chix parties, and have a series of chix with chix DVD’s. I have seen it in person at clubs, and have been asked by chicks to have it done, but I have never done it, or had it done to me by a chick.
But all that shit aside, Lil Kim and I were touching, rubbing, and before I knew it, we were playing in each other’s p*ssy with our fingers. Her a*s was so soft, I kept touching and grabbing it. I’d never felt anybody’s a*s as soft as mine, and her t*tties were huge and pretty. Her nipples got hard instantly as I licked all over them. She was rubbing my cl*t and grabbing my a*s.
She pulled me on top of her, and somehow made her cl*t press a button on mine. We were grinding cl*ts, and it felt unbelievably good. I figured she knew what she was doing, cause my p*ssy was dripping wet. We were both moaning, and I didn’t think she could feel my p*ssy juices, because as she slid her fingers between my lips.
When she felt how wet she had gotten me, she got a surge of adrenaline and said, “Oh my God, girl, you’re so wet, let me…†and she leaned up and grabbed my leg to motion me to turn my a*s to her face. I did, and we were in the sixty-nine position, with her on the bottom.
I said, “Let me get a towel to wipe some of the p*ssy juice off my a*s.â€
She said, “No, I got you,†and started softly kissing my a*s cheeks.
Her lips were so soft, I felt like I was c*mming already. I was so excited. She rubbed and kissed my a*s, and I rubbed her cl*t, slowly inserting a little bit of my finger in her p*ssy. It was wet and tight. It felt strange, because I was feeling the inside of another woman’s p*ssy walls. I was nervous, and didn’t want to do anything stupid.
As she started letting her tongue tap on my p*ssy lips, I was freaking out. Her tongue was so warm and soft, flickering from the front to the back, then kissing and sucking my cl*t, all in one motion. I stopped with my finger, and opened her legs, to lick the creases of her thighs, while we were still in the sixty-nine position.
I started at her a*s, dripping spit down the crack, and my finger slightly rubbing it with the softest touch. She loved it. I then replaced my finger with my tongue all around her a*shole. I patted and licked, and felt her a*shole tighten up as she moaned louder. I slowly licked around her lips and started eating her p*ssy. I sucked her p*ssy, and licked the cl*t ever so softly. Then I started flicking it with my tongue a little harder and faster. She licked me the same way. I had p*ssy juice down to my ears. Her cl*t was really hard by now, so I knew I was doing it good. I started putting my fingers in her as I ate that p*ssy.

George Daniels daughter’s purity has been compromised by R.Kelly. The rapper is still fighting 14 counts of child pornography charges as well as a slew of allegations of sex with minors. Last November Regina Daniels, Kelly’s publicist, abruptly resigned with no specific reason.
Finally coming forward, George Daniels reveals what happened. During an interview with an LA radio station, the details of the betrayal were aired out. According to George, R. Kelly took advantage of his then 21 year old daughter. The two had a sexual relationship that Daniels deems disgusting.
“He crossed the line with my daughter. It didn’t get to the extreme of that [sex tape] video or else I wouldn’t be here, if you know what I’m talking about. When you’re 21, and if you’ve been there already like I’ve been many years ago, you’re still 15 to 16 mentally. You’re vulnerable. The reason that I’m talking abut this, it’s not just for me, it’s not for my wife, it’s not for my daughter, but it’s for the public,†Daniels said. “It’s for other fathers and mothers, because it doesn’t have to be a superstar, it could be the dude on the corner. There are guys who sit around and give your child a couple of bucks to go to school and then wait until they get a little older, then they set that trap. See, so I’m doing this really for everyone.â€
“It’s hard to take seriously the moral outrage expressed by George and Regina Daniels over R. Kelly’s relationship with Mr. Daniels’ adult daughter, Maxine. The fact is that they had no problem with the relationship — indeed, they encouraged it — while Ms. Daniels was on Mr. Kelly’s payroll.
It was Regina Daniels, then working as a publicist for Mr. Kelly, who persuaded him to attend her step-daughter’s 21st birthday party. And it was Regina Daniels who shortly thereafter gave her step-daughter Mr. Kelly’s private phone number, with the admonition: ‘Don’t tell your father.’ It was only after Ms. Daniels resigned her position to avoid being fired for incompetence that her stepdaughter’s relationship suddenly became an issue for her and her husband.”

Here’s a freakin’ awesome video called, ‘Frozen Grand Central‘.
In a nutshell, about 200 people stop dead in their tracks– in the middle of Grand Central Station. Curiosity ensues. It even causes station personnel to radio for help. Classic.
The March 2008 Playboy features Nicole Austin, aka Coco, working the New York scene. As if I need to say anymore. I am sure that thumbnails pretty much speak for themselves. I could ramble on about the plight of starving children in Africa, but really there is no point. In case you have continued to read I guess I should supply some snark…
I wonder if they will stick with the beverage name if they ever decide to have offspring. Ahh, I can’t wait to meet little Mojito and Diet Pepsi. It’s Friday and there is Coco is nude if you click continued, so don’t bust my hump and go have a look already.
The NSFW photos are just a click away. Meander on over to “Continued†to see the spread.
On his radio show yesterday (which opened with funeral music), Gibson called Ledger a “weirdo” with a “serious drug problem.”
Making fun of the famous “I wish I knew how to quit you” line from “Brokeback Mountain,” Gibson said of his death, “Well, he found out how to quit you.” [hear audio]
This isn’t the first time John Gibson has been so insulting. Huffington Post reports,
In July 2005, just one day before the 7/7 terrorist bombings in London, Gibson said that “the International Olympic Committee missed a golden opportunity….If they had picked France instead of London to hold the Olympics, it would have been the one time we could look forward to where we didn’t worry about terrorism. They’d blow up Paris, and who cares?” The next day, after the London bombings, Gibson repeated the remarks.

Will Britney show or will she blow it off? We’re all over it. A navy blue suited and mohawked Kevin Federline and his attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan have already arrived.
X17 Online is reporting that at the time of this posting, Britney is still at home.
Ryan Seacrest, who is in tight with Britney and her camp, announced on his radio show this morning that his “sources” were telling him Spears would not be showing up to her custody hearing at court today.
Spears is not required to be there, but if she doesn’t show, she’s probably losing her kids until April.
Sources state that the Commissioner will hear Britney’s testimony at whatever time she shows today, so check back here for updates!
