REVERSAL OF FORTUNE

2688556brandon.jpg
We heard rumors that when billionaire oil mogul Marvin Davis died, he left his family in financial ruin and now we’re starting to see proof. The family matriarch Barbara Davis sold her mansion, The Knoll, in Beverly Hills and she’s now living in a rental in Coldwater Canyon. Her daughter Nancy – Brandon Davis‘s mother- was also forced to sell her Bel Air home and she downsized.
Brandon doesn’t drive and he no longer has limos every night – he has to depend on rides from Paris Hilton, with whom he’s living. What’s more, Brandon was seen flying COACH to Las Vegas on Southwest recently. Brandon and his brother Jason (shown above in happier times) have had trouble getting into the hot LA club Hyde but they finally wangled their way in last week. How embarrassing – when Jason tried to use his credit card to pay the $80.00 bar tab, it was DECLINED!

CAN I HELP YOU?

j.jpg
Business nearly came to a standstill at Staples in Studio City when Natasha “Species” Henstridge strolled in. The classicly beautiful blonde actress was wearing a modest sweater, slacks and boots but she proved to be an instant man magnet. Another shopper complained ” Forget about finding a guy to wait on you in that store – suddenly they were ALL helping Natasha. She bought a stack of paper, two rolls of tape, and some pens and she had FIVE salesmen hovering all around her, ogling her from every angle. I wanted to buy a printer but I couldn’t get any help until she left.”

YOU READ IT HERE FIRST

Look familiar? The UK tabloid The Sun snatched one of this website’s scoops and made a big deal out of it without giving us credit! Above is THEIR version. (Click HERE for the original item on this website) The last Sun quote couldn’t be further from the truth – Prince loves Xenii and he’s a regular at the exclusive LA club. After The Sun‘s ripped-off story appeared, many websites picked up the item and further exaggerated the story by saying the go-go dancers were strippers and Xenii was a strip club! We just wanted you to know the REAL story started here!

THE LOOK OF LOVE

adrienbrody0030.jpg

Granted, Adrien Brody has a beautiful new girlfriend, Spanish actress/model Elsa Pataky, to keep him busy, but he’s still absolutely crazy about his Chihuahua Ceelo. He takes Ceelo almost everywere he goes and to keep the pooch from feeling neglected he transports his beloved pup in an $8000 crocodile carrying bag. That’s even more expensive than Jessica Simpson’s latest designer handbag.

BETTER GAY THAN TRUCULENT

Kanye-West_008.jpg
Neighbors are astounded by the fact that Kanye West has 24 hour around-the-clock bodyguards watching his house in the Hollywood Hills. He’s not exactly the gangsta type that needs protection. “It must cost a fortune – what’s he afraid of?” said a curious neighbor. That got us wondering if his feud with 50 Cent has escalated. Hardcore 50 Cent has barely concealed his contempt for Kanye’s “softer” music. He dissed Kanye when he said “I think middle America would rather have their kids be GAY than have them be aggressive.” (Did he say that because Kanye shops at Barneys?) Despite the big bucks he spends on security, Kanye still eats at economical Baja Fresh on Sunset nearly every day!

SWEEPING UP THE SEQUINS

CherClothes
We got our hands on a catalog from the Cher auction and the owner wrote down what everything sold for. Our auction friend said that the really valuable items – antiques and paintings – went for LESS than expected and some of Cher’s really cheap costume jewelry and accessories went for a FORTUNE! Bob Mackie’s costumes and sketches brought a ton of money and sometimes the sketches sold for more than the actual costume in the picture. The black spangly thong from the Turn Back Time video started a bidding war that ended at $50,000! Her beloved Laverne outfit from the TV show went for $9000.
CherJewel
Cher’s Valentino sunglasses from the 80’s went for $850. Cher’s crosses went for way above market value up in the thousands of dollars for plain sterling silver. The peace sign necklace pictured was worth around $150 at best and it sold for $11,000. Somebody took Cher’s 1956 custom Ford pickup truck home for $90,000 and we bet it’ll turn up in a car show.

The highly flattering family portrait by Leroy Nieman that makes Sonny look like a Marlboro Man sold for $40,000. We can only hope the four guys in the front row at the auction who bought most of the costumes will find a way to put them on display in a museum or fashion institute where we can all appreciate them. We’d hate to see them end up as Halloween costumes.

KEVIN'S HALLOWEEN PARTY

kfedalbum.0.jpg
Britney Spears has managed to make her husband Kevin Federline’s dreams come true. She turned an out-of-work dancer into a model, an actor, and a singer, while also getting him red carpet treatment at the hottest clubs. He’s been checking out locations for his record release party on Halloween night and it looks like he’s pretty much settled on Xenii. This will be Britney’s first big night out since their second baby was born. Kevin seems to like the after hours club Xenii – he was there until 5 AM Sunday morning. Those brave enough to pre-order K-Fed’s CD “Playing With Fire” from his online store automatically are entered into a contest to win a trip to LA to attend the party. Second prize – no kidding – are the sneakers Kevin wore when he performed at the Teen Choice Awards.

SEEN AROUND TOWN

jeffreysebelia.jpg
Jeffrey Sebelia , the sarcastic rocker on Project Runway, with his child, shopping at Urban Outfitters in Pasadena. A salesclerk said “The whole store recognized him right away (must be that neck tattoo) and he seemed flattered by the attention. He was surprisingly NICE to everyone and bought a scarf….” This is how Tom Cruise and Katie strategically planned a dinner date at Giovanni’s in Malibu: First a black bronco pulled up and the driver checked out the place inside. (Making sure none of Tom’s exwives were there?) After getting the official OK, a black Mustang convertible carrying the pair pulled up. Both dashed inside wearing jeans and sweatshirts….Buxom Tanya Harding, pumping iron and gossiping in the weight room at the Hollywood YMCA… Scruffy looking Mel Gibson, baseball cap in hand, standing by an SUV in front of the park near The Abbey on Robertson Blvd. Nobody paid attention while he had an animated conversation with another man… Kiefer Sutherland, on his best behavior, politely admiring the attractive waitstaff at Holly’s West……

SNEAK PEEK

PARIS_WEED_STASH-1cut.jpg
Okay, we know you’re sick to death of Paris Hilton but this is different – it’s a closeup of the contents of her designer handbag! We can’t resist a peek into a celebrity purse. The photo was purportedly taken during fashion week and we can see a little packet of what looks like weed. Perhaps more surpising than that is the fact that she’s sitting at a fashion show and furtively applying pink polish to her nails.

PASS THE BINOCULARS

oscars3%20oprah.jpg
Oprah can’t escape those prying eyes! She spent fifteen million dollars on a sprawling ranch in Maui with plenty of beachfront property. Since the beach is not near any hotels it has always been deserted and very private. But all that changed after word leaked out that Oprah bought the property. All beaches in Hawaii are public and suddenly Oprah’s beach has become a huge tourist attraction. Everyone- both tourists AND locals- are eager to get a glimpse of Oprah, so her once secluded beach is now packed with people sitting on the sand, staring at her premises!
