KATHARINE McPHEE A BEVERLY HILLS HOUSEWIFE? NO WAY!

 

Katherine McPhee recently turned down a 7 figure deal to join The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.  Although the Bravo show’s newest season began airing October 25 ( all of the episodes are filmed in advance) producer Andy Cohen is looking ahead to season 14 and wants to spice things up with some bigger name Housewives. Our Bravo source tells us that Katherine was offered six figures per episode to join the show ( and with over 10 episodes a season that’s over a million dollars for a few months worth of work!)  Katherine was mulling over the idea, but her husband , music producer David Foster, immediately nixed it.  He saw his marriage to then Housewife Yolanda Hadid disintegrate and he blames her involvement on the reality show as one of the reasons.  Since Katherine is a no go, Andy is looking for other stars to join as he plans to shake up the cast after this season.

TONY CURTIS AUCTION: MARRIED PEOPLE START TO LOOK ALIKE, SO MARRY SOMEONE GOOD LOOKING

Tony Curtis’s sixth wife Jill Vandenberg put his estate up for sale this weekend at Julien’s Auctions. We checked out the merchandise ahead of time and were impressed to see art by Picasso, Miro, Dali, and Warhol, along with personal items like Tony’s cowboy boots and driver’s licenses. There was an undertone of resentment because none of his six children were there – Merle Ginsberg at The Hollywood Reporter says none of his kids are beneficiaries of his estate, the bulk of which goes to his wife of 12 years, Jill, who cared for him during many illnesses. Our favorite item in the sale was Tony’s “Some Like It Hot” yachtsman jacket, which went for $48,000. Our friend took a slightly eerie photo of Jill with Tony’s portrait in the background and we swear she grew to resemble him.
