LEAH REMINI: HARRASSED BY SCIENTOLOGISTS?

Leah Remini left Scientology, but has Scientology left her? Leah has been trying to unload her Studio City home since last year, and although she reduced the price and has had accepted offers she hasn’t had much luck closing the deal. Leah’s been in and out of escrow several times, but none of the buyers came up with the funding. While she has no proof, she’s griping to pals that she fears Scientology is somehow behind all of these false sales. Leah thinks it’s odd that there have been so many offers, but none of them have been able to follow through on the purchase. THAT’S why she suspects Scientology is doing this to torment her.

ROCCO RITCHIE: LOSE THE MUSTACHE!

Turns out Madonna’s 22 year old son Rocco Ritchie is not the loser some people predicted he would turn out to be. We’ve long had a soft spot for him due to his preference for vintage clothing. He shops at thrift stores and flea markets and looks adorable in his mid-century attire (We could actually live without that mustache, however) For the past few years Rocco has been studying and producing art and he’s quite successful, using the name “Rhed.” London art dealers like his work and his paintings sell for around $25,000! Rocco’s father Guy Ritchie has a scene in his new movie called Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre featuring actors admiring and discussing “Rhed’s” paintings.

BETTE MIDLER’S LIPS ARE NOT SEALED

Bette Midler and her husband Martin von Haselberg are separating, but only for the sake of his art. According to an insider, their marriage is rock solid, but Martin (who is a performance artist) demands complete silence when he’s working on his art and -let’s face it – chatterbox Bette is anything but quiet. With Bette’s approval, Martin has been looking for a pied a terre in West Hollywood, California, (not far from their LA home) so he can escape his noisy domicile and work on his art, and occasionally sleep there.
