Tell-all books are in Vogue
Ok, I know the headline is a little bit of a stretch, I needed a Madonna tie-in...so sue me.
Speaking of suing (how's that for a transition?) Madonna is reportedly meeting with lawyers to try to figure out a way to stop her brother, Christopher Ciccone, from publishing a tell-all memoir. He actually used to work with her, helping to design some of her tours, but they had a falling out a couple years ago. So chances are, the tome will be a warts and all page turner. At the moment, Life With My Sister is due in July.
Britney Spears is also the subject of an upcoming volume. An investigative journalist is putting together a project that allegedly details everything from suicide attempts to claims from a drug dealer about her substance abuse. Stalking Britney: Under Siege with Britney Spears could hit shelves as early as next week.
Why is Oprah able to give so big?Because she makes around $275 million a year, that's why! She was #1 once again on the "Forbes Celebrity 100" list of the richest and most influential celebrities. A bunch of Point artists made the list, including Beyoncé (#4), The Police (#8), Justin Timberlake (#12), Madonna (#21), Miley Cyrus (#35), Bon Jovi (#53), Gwen Stefani (#63), Alicia Keys (#65), and Carrie Underwood (#79).
Somehow, the Spice Girls managed to make the list right in the middle at #50.
Whatever you do, don't nominate me!
Giving the writers of Grey's Anatomy a bit of a shot across the bow, star Katherine Heigl spoke out about her feelings on this past season. She commented, "I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination. . .I withdrew my name from contention".
Ok, clearly she was calling out the writers and producers for what she felt was a lackluster season. But here's my question...what makes you so sure you were going to get an Emmy nomination anyway?
Quick Hits
* Miley Cyrus' mother apparently isn't too happy about her daughter's new boyfriend. The 15 year old is reportedly dating a 21 year old backup dancer. Ok first, 6 years is a big difference when we're talking about high schoolers. Second, just ask Britney if getting involved with a backup dancer is a good idea.
* The Friends curse continues. Joining Joey, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and The Comeback in the TV graveyard is Courtney Cox Arquette's FX series Dirt.
* Brokeback Mountain is coming to the New York stage. The New York City Opera is planning to stage an adaptation in 2013. It will be based on the original short story, not the movie which was itself adapted from the short story by Annie Proulx.
