WHITNEY HOUSTON’S FAMILY IS WORRIED SICK ABOUT HER AUTOPSY

Whitney Houston’s family has bigger things than Bobby Brown to worry about. It has occurred to her family members that there seems to be a “leak” in Whitney’s entourage. SOMEONE sold those photos taken inside Whitney’s suite – showing the room service table etc. (above) That person obviously needs the money- especially now that Whitney is gone. But what the family fears most is that someone will leak Whitney’s autopsy photos from the coroner’s office – and they’ll end up online for everyone to see – like Tupac Shakur’s. If THOSE photos leak, the family will be devastated.

AFTER EIGHT YEARS , HUGH LAURIE IS GOING HOME

Now that the Fox series is ending in May, “House“ doc Hugh Laurie, 52, is about to become reacquainted with his family. Since 2004, Hugh has been living for at least nine months a year in Los Angeles while his wife Jo and their 3 children remained in the UK. Several times they considered moving to LA, but the children loved their school and they didn’t know how long the show would survive. After eight years of incredible popularity, daddy became the highest paid actor in a drama, pulling in $700,000 a week. Soon, he’s going home. Hopefully, living apart is not the reason the 23 year marriage has been a success.

RATS MAKE DENNIS QUAID’S SKIN CRAWL

Dennis Quaid’s biggest fear came true when he moved to Austin, Texas. He has a phobia of rats. He was in the process of moving his family into a rented lakefront mansion there when he spotted a rat scurrying tin the basement. He FREAKED and packed up the wife and kids and all their stuff and moved right out. He wouldn’t listen to the locals who told him rats were common around properties on the water and no big deal. He wants his money back and he and the landlord are now suing each other. (Above, Dennis and his wife Kimberly and son Jack from exwife Meg Ryan)

TWO REASONS WHY CELINE DION DIDN’T MAKE THE FORBES TOP EARNING WOMEN IN MUSIC LIST

Celine Dion brought her family backstage to visit the cast of “Beauty and the Beast” in Las Vegas where she too is currently performing at Caesar’s Palace. Her twins Eddy and Nelson are one and a half and they look more like her 11 year old son Rene and her husband every day. According to the LA Times, Celine was the top earning woman in music for the decade ending in 2010, but she didn’t make the top ten this year according to Forbes. That’s what happens when you take time off to raise babies. Don’t worry, she still has plenty of money to buy shoes…

Reality star Bethenny Frankel and her husband Jason Hoppy are walking in Soho and it looks like Bethenny is busy making deals while Jason is in charge of their daughter Bryn and dog Cookie. Undaunted by lawsuits and the fact that her talk show wasn’t picked up, Bethenny has many more money making schemes in the wind. Her novel Skinny Dipping comes out in May, and she has a new line of Skinnygirl loungewear.

You’ve gotta love Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale for taking their kids to the zoo on Christmas Eve and a family farm in Oxnard on New Year’s Eve, instead of partying in Hollywood. You don’t see many major pop stars spending this much family time just to make the kids happy. The family togetherness seems to work for everyone because Gwen and Gavin seem more affectionate than ever with each other. Kingston, 5, and Zuma, 3, don’t know how lucky they are.

WHO DOES BROOKE MUELLER THINK SHE’S KIDDING?

Here we go again. Brooke Mueller wants us to believe that she checked into residential rehab “for as long as it takes” voluntarily. In fact she fully intended to continue the ruse of outpatient treatment at home but her family finally stepped up to the plate and told her they would have NOTHING further to do with her if she refused to check into an in-patient drug treatment center. Brooke depends on her mother to help care for her twins and she didn’t want Charlie to have full custody of the boys. After numerous drug arrests and well over a dozen rehab attempts, it remains to be seen whether Brooke will devote the nine months necessary for her rehabilitation. We doubt it.

JANET JACKSON KEEPS HER FAMILY AWAY FROM HER BOYFRIEND

The holidays are when families get together – sometimes reluctantly. Janet Jackson, 45, has been dating billionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana, 36, for two years and she’s managed to pretty much keep him away from her relatives. It’s obvious that the two are in love (he calls her his “dream woman”) and perhaps secretly engaged, but Janet is uncomfortable spending time with her family because she’s afraid – her brothers especially – will hit on Wissam for LOANS or try to talk him investing in their questionable schemes and projects! She’d rather avoid a potentially embarrassing situation.

KIM’S DIVORCE: THE KARDASHIANS CONTINUE TO THINK THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND THEM

Kim Kardashian’s marriage was hijacked by her family. In other words, both Kim, 31, and her husband Kris Humphries, 26, chose their own families over each other. It was inevitable. The Kardashians did everything to alienate Kris’s family – they didn’t invite the Humphries partake in the wedding preparations – and they wanted to. The Kardashians continued to minimize the importance of Kris’s family when they were barely seen on camera at the wedding and no wedding transportation was planned for the groom’s family. They flew home to Minneapolis from the ten million dollar nuptials in economy class. Kim was horrified at the prospect of living in Kris’s home town of Minneapolis – even part time. After the wedding she continued to accept every paying offer to appear anywhere – with no regard for her husband. When he didn’t follow her around like a puppy dog, she pulled the plug. Soon she’ll be filming Tyler Perry’s movie “The Marriage Counselor” in Atlanta and she won’t look back.

REESE WITHERSPOON’S FAMILY HAS EXPANDED

Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth have only been married since March but they’ve already added to their family. Reese’s two children (with Ryan Phillippe) Ava, 12, and Deacon, 8, found two feral kittens in their garden. Reese planned to give the kittens to a kitten rescue shelter but before she could, the family fell in love with them. Even Jim’s dog gets along with the kittens, so they’re staying with the Toths.
