MICAH NELSON: NOT JOINING TWITTER CAN BE A HEADACHE TOO!

Willie Nelson’s son Micah Nelson is a successful singer in his own right, but has thus far resisted the urge to join Twitter. Some creep with bad intentions took advantage of the situation and opened a Twitter account in Micah’s name. He proceeded to contact and befriend fans of Willie Nelson. He chatted about his own music and invited one female fan to a performance HE had scheduled in Denver, implying his father might make an appearance. Then he asked the fan for her bank information so he could generously send her money by direct deposit to pay for “a first class plane ticket to Denver” for the show! She was no fool, and the fan not only recognized the scam and turned him DOWN, but reported him to Twitter and his fake account was closed. The real Micah Nelson and his father were both grateful.

IS KANYE WEST PSYCHOTIC – OR PULLING A FAST ONE?

We can hardly WAIT to find out if Kanye West collects that 30 million dollars from the insurance company covering his tour! The fact that he impetuously called OFF the 21 concert tour and 6 hours later checked himself into a mental health facility is, indeed, suspicious. His doctor at first gave that old Hollywood excuse “dehydration and overwork” which usually means mental issues and drugs. Later, the doc described Kanye’s condition as “temporary psychosis.” The insurance policy would pay not only Kanye’s salary, but all of the people working with him, dancers, venues etc. But did he DISCLOSE his mental health problems when he bought the policy? Is this all a scam like many suspect the Paris robbery was?

KHLOE WANTS TO KNOW WHO TOOK THE JEWELRY – SO DO WE!

article-2523500lamarkcut

Leave it to a Kardashian to claim $250,000 worth of jewelry is MISSING from a house they sold months ago. Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom put their house up for sale in November and it was reportedly bought by “Big Bang Theory” star Kaley Cuoco. The whole story is VERY fishy. Khloe and Lamar moved OUT. The place has been vacant for a month and various workers have been in and out doing repairs, as well as film crew and staff. There was no forced entry. Khloe supposedly discovered the loss – gold chains and watches (sounds like men’s jewelry) recently when she went to pack up the last of her possessions. But WHY would anyone in their right mind leave jewelry behind when they sell a house and move OUT? Could Lamar have pawned the stuff in a moment of desperation? Is this an insurance scam? According to TMZ, Khloe wants EVERYONE who was in the house to take a lie detector test! Police are wasting their precious time investigating this “crime.” (Above, Once upon a time… Khloe and Lamar were happy)

DIONNE WARWICK HAS A HISTORY OF FINANCIAL HIJINKS

Don’t waste your sympathy on singer Dionne Warwick, who declared bankruptcy this week. Dionne was the Whitney Houston of her day and had 56 hit songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart between 1962 and 1998. She was spokesperson for The Psychic Friends Network, and their TV ads with 900 numbers bilked gullible viewers out of untold millions from 1991 to 1998. Dionne earned well over 3 million dollars a year for that job. Later she founded The Warwick Foundation supposedly to raise money for AIDS, but an investigation proved that 90% of the money donated actually went to pay for Dionne’s fancy lifestyle and salaries for employees. The foundation dissolved in disgrace. Dionne owes the IRS and the state of California ten million dollars in taxes and we can only hope she pays up like the rest of us have to.
