Paula Abdul SHOULD look happy – money just keeps piling up in her bank account. TWO Las Vegas casinos are in a bidding war to obtain a talent and variety show she’s pitching. Paula plans to produce a music and dance extravaganza similar to the Cirque du Soliel, but SHE will only appear occasionally onstage. According to the Enquirer, she’s been talking to The Venetian hotel and Steve Wynn’s Encore and both are offering tens of millions of dollars for her services. The rich get richer.

Janet Charlton’s Hollywood Site Almost Live!

Thank you all for your patience. I searched high and low for new web assistance. During the middle of converting my Movable Type site into WordPress, my old site went down. We had nothing to do with that, but it added pressure, that’s for sure! We’re still fine-tuning it, but we’re very proud of our accomplishments. We restored comments, photos, entries, and made it easier to find info. Please continue to write me with your suggestions, tips and whatev. The best is yet to come!

HOW CUTE WAS JOAN JETT IN 1977!

The more you look at the 1977 Brad Elterman photo of Joan Jett, the easier it is to see why she cast Kristen Stewart to play herself in “The Runaways.” When the old photo was taken, Joan probably WAS a teenage runaway. She’s pictured on the corner of Hollywood and Highland, which has actually changed a lot more than SHE has. And those are some shoes she’s rockin.’

TWO WHEELS ARE ENOUGH FOR LORI PETTY

Lori Petty (“A League of their Own” and “Tank Girl”) is taking no chances today – she’s riding her bike instead of driving. She earned herself a DUI a few weeks ago when she had a minor collision in her car with a skateboarder. Lori is very low key – almost unrecognizable – in her yellow glasses and baggy clothes as she runs errands in Santa Monica.

ROBERT PATTINSON: THE BOY CAN'T HELP IT

Do we really need an excuse to post another photo of Robert Pattinson? His white shirt, tie, and suit is reason enough. We don’t see him dressed up like that very often. He’s filming “Remember Me” and seems to make any ordinary outfit highly memorable.

Another day, another “Bruno” premier. Sacha Baron Cohen obviously has planned an appropriately costumed stunt for the movie’s opening in every major city. First is was the Buckingham Place guards at the UK premier. Above, he was in Madrid, in anatomically correct bull drag, surrounded by sexy matadors. We love his showmanship. What’s he got in store for the USA?

We were struck by this photo of Evan Ross, 20, because his expression is so reminiscent of his mother Diana Ross. He’s pictured here at pregnant Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett’s engagement party at Guys and Dolls. Evan is with his lingerie model girlfriend Cora Skinner – he was not denying rumors in April that they were secretly married, but it doesn’t seem to be true. He DOES, however, have five or six movies coming out soon.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Jerry Ferrara had a sad and passionate breakup scene curbside at LAX, but it wasn’t real life. They were filming a segment for Jerry’s show “Entourage.” Last season, Jamie guest starred on Entourage playing herself, and Jerry’s character Turtle developed a crush on her. The plotline drifted into real life and they’ve been dating ever since.

RIHANNA HAS HER CLAWS OUT

The countdown begins. Rihanna is scheduled to testify in court against her (ex? we’re not so sure…) boyfriend Chris Brown next Monday on June 22. Chris’s lawyer failed to get the date postponed so the show must go on, and it will be QUITE a drama. Meanwhile Rihanna is still in New York – she’s pictured here leaving her hotel with considerable fanfare. Judging by those red pointed nails, she’s sharpening her claws for SOMETHING.

MICKEY ROURKE'S CHEST IS EXPANDING

Just when you start to think Mickey Rourke is beginning to look more normal – almost like his old self – he surprises you! He showed off considerable cleavage while hanging with his buddies at Cristoni Pizzeria in Beverly Hills. Actually, his pecs appear pumped to the max and we’re betting he’s taking some type of “supplements” with that Diet Coke.
