Comeback

CAMERON DIAZ CAN TAKE A HINT

Cameron Diaz believes in signs from above. Cameron took nearly a 10-year break from Hollywood to focus on being a mom and she wasn’t sure she would ever return to acting until her longtime pal Jamie Foxx encouraged her to be his costar in the still filming Netflix film, Back In Action. Now that Jamie has been hospitalized with a mystery condition (some reports say a stroke, others a brain bleed, but no one is his camp is confirming anything) Cameron confided to a friend that she wonders if Jamie’s shocking ailment is actually the universe reinforcing her desire to stop acting. While Cameron has always been spiritual, Jamie’s condition has apparently put her in a tizzy. My source says she’s rethinking her entire “comeback.”

ARMIE HAMMER IS HOMELESS IN HOLLYWOOD

Los Angeles’ homeless community just increased by one thanks to Armie Hammer! As we previously reported, Armie is in the midst of his self-described apology tour, so he’s spending more time in Hollywood and less in the Cayman Islands, where he’s hung out the past few years. Armie and his ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers sold their Tudor style home in Hancock Park, (a posh area of Los Angeles) last year, so now that he’s in LA, he’s couch surfing with various pals. Armie feels unsettled staying with friends so he’s looking for a home to rent in LA as he struggles to make his comeback. A friend explains that Armie loved being in the Cayman Islands but realized if he wants his career back he needs to be in Hollywood.

YOU’LL BE SEEING A LOT MORE OF PAMELA ANDERSON

Pamela Anderson is everywhere these days, thanks to a Netflix documentary and her bestselling autobiography, and now, according to a friend, she’s secretly shopping around a reality show. After taking a long break (living in France etc) from the spotlight, Pam is officially BACK. She’s never been known for her acting and she loved working on her documentary, so she feels a reality show would be the perfect fit. She sold her Malibu home awhile back, so it would likely be filmed on her sprawling estate in Canada and revolve around her handsome sons and her Hollywood comeback.

PAULA DEEN, WE DON’T WANT YOU BACK!

The more we hear about Paula Deen’s comeback, the LESS we want her to come back. Her admitted use of the “n” word caused her business world to collapse for awhile, but was the least of her crimes. Chef Anthony Bourdain called her “The most dangerous person in America.“ He went on to point out that “she revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and is PROUD of the fact that her food is BAD for you.” We happen to think a REAL chef would not promote fatty, sugar-heavy foods, knowing first hand what it does to one’s health. Paula knows first hand because she ate herself into a case of diabetes and hid it from the public. When her disease was revealed she partnered up with a drug company selling diabetes drugs. Paula hides her crimes behind that sweet southern drawl, but don’t let it fool you!

ARSENIO HALL PARLAYED CELEBRITY APPRENTICE INTO A SHOWBIZ COMEBACK

We were happy to see Arsenio Hall turn out to be the winner on Celebrity Apprentice. Happily, neither of the smart but mean spirited women, Lisa Lampanelli or Aubrey O’Day, came out on top. When his talk show went off the air in the mid 90’s, Arsenio disappeared. During his heyday, he palled around with Eddie Murphy and they ruled the club scene and made funny movies. When that ended Arsenio dropped out of sight and we’re betting he felt forgotten by his showbiz friends. So it was nice to see him resurface on Celebrity Apprentice and use it as a way to get back in the spotlight. It worked. He’s got several offers for another talk show and seems thrilled with it all.

WHY HAVEN’T “GREY’S ANATOMY” PRODUCERS TAKEN KATHERINE HEIGL’S HINT?

There’s been a deafening silence from “Grey’s Anatomy” producers since Katherine Heigl started dropping hints that she’s like to return to the series that made her famous. She left after six seasons to do movies, but Heigl says she remembers the six seasons fondly and would love to continue with her character Dr Izzie Stevens. It sounds like she’s gotten a lot of lame movie scripts and grew to appreciate her TV character. Hopefully, Anatomy producers will bring back Izzie.

LISA MARIE PRESLEY HAS A NEW MUSIC PARTNER – U.K. ROCKABILLY RICHARD HAWLEY

Rockabilly singer Richard Hawley was performing in London with his band when he announced that he had been writing songs with a “female singer” and brought her onstage. The audience was flabbergasted when Lisa Marie Presley popped onstage and sang a bluesy song called ”Weary.” Sheffield born Hawley, who has been called a “modern day Roy Orbison,” has been collaborating with Lisa in preparation for her music comeback. Lisa gave birth to twin daughters a year ago. Richard has the same penchant for “dressing up” that young Elvis did, and bemoans the proliferation of men in track suits.

WILL MICHAEL JACKSON SURVIVE FIFTY PERFORMANCES?

An astute reader has a contact at the O2 Arena in the UK where Michael Jackson has scheduled 50 concerts from July to September and January thru February. (That’s a staggering amount of performances for someone who’s often seen in a wheelchair.) The source says that everyone at the arena has been warned that no one backstage, crew or fans, can TOUCH Michael because he is delicate. The best part is that Michael will still be paid for his concerts even if he FAILS to complete his contract due to illness! What are the odds of him NOT becoming ill? He won’t allow an O2 doctor to examine him. The arena is starting to worry that they will be empty for many of these nights. How Michael gets away with all this is a miracle.

SPANDAU BALLET WITHOUT THE FRILLS

Spandau Ballet have buried the hatchet and reformed the 80’s “New Romantic” group. The flamboyant hair and eyeliner are gone, but the five original members, Tony Hadley, Gary and Martin Kemp (delectable in “The Krays,”) Steve Norman, and John Keeble, are alive and willing to tour the world. (And they still look good!) Over the years there were bitter lawsuit over royalties, but when the guys saw how well other 80’s band revivals like Duran Duran were doing, and they want a piece of the pie. They’re rehearsing for concerts starting in October.

ANDREW DICE CLAY: NOW IT'S MY TURN!

Andrew Dice Clay must be thinking “If Mickey Rourke can make a comeback – I can TOO!” After all, they both hang out at Mulberry Street Pizza in Beverly Hills. It’s generally believed that “political correctness” killed the Diceman’s career. We do NOT support political correctness, but we’re not too fond of misogynists either. This year Clay has had a lot of concert dates so he’s making SOME money, but nothing like “The Wrestler” has come his way yet. Don’t you love the way he ignores the sign behind him?
