► Insiders are whispering that 3 years since Britney Spears convservatorship ended, she is blowing through her $60 million fortune like a pissed off teenager who stole their parents credit card. Even Jessica Simpson has chimed in on the issue during an impromptu interview with reporters (read about it). Jessica said it's easy to lose a fortune if a person isn't careful and offered a couple of pieces of advice for Ms. Cheetos.  Britney's lavish spending since her conservatorship ended includes multiple expensive vacations to the Brando Resort in French Polynesia at $1million per trip including using a private jet. She also has spent $350,000 at the Four Seasons Presidential Suite in Hawaii on multiple occasions (no word if she visited her estranged 2 grown sons who now live there). She has also spent $4 million in legals fees that includes settling her conservatorship fight with her dad. He supposedly received no money in the settlement. Only his legals fees were paid. According to reports regarding Britney's spending: Read More

“She has no concept of money,” one insider says. “For over a decade, other people were in charge of her bank accounts, and every purchase had to be reported to the court — even if it was just a pack of gum. But now, she’s on her own.” Others are concerned about the state of her mental health with a third source noting, “She had lots of freedom in the conservatorship and the restrictions were there to protect her. She’s not protected anymore.”

Comment: Britney (42) is not generating income since she no longer tours or records.  The "Free Britney" aholes who pushed to end the conservatorship seem to be washing their hands of what is happening to her. A lot of people wonder about the state of her finances during the conservatorship. The reality is, when she was under it, expenses were overseen by attorneys on both sides AND a judge who had to approve every single thing. It's sad to see Britney unraveling and blowing through her money now that there are no safety guards to protect her. I have a message for the "Free Britney" morons: happy now? 

►At the American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement gala to honor Nicole Kidman, Mike Myers made a quite a stir with his dashing appearance. Mike hasn't been seen in public for over a year and he's notoriously private. Mike showed up sporting an awesome buzz cut, silver fox hair, and looking like he's aging gracefully. He looks waaay better now than a few years ago.  Read More

Comment: I still laugh at old SNL skits with Mike Myers from waaaay back when. One of my favorite skits was "Coffee Talk".  Oh, and Wayne's World. I'm not a huge fan of his movies. Austin Powers was okay, it had its funny moments. Anyhoo, I have to give him credit for aging gracefully unlike 99.9% of Hollywood. Good for you Mike!

► Looking like he belongs in a wax museum next to a box of half-used birthday candles in my junk drawer, Johnny Depp debuted his new role as France's King Louis XV in the French movie, "Jean Dingleberry" "Jeanne du Barry". Johnny's career has been in limbo since his divorce and civil trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. The new movie is described as, "a subtitled combination of "Napoleon" and "Pretty Woman". Huh? Here's my creative spin of the plot: Depp is shuffling around dressed as Napoleon. He meets a French courtesan who dreams of shopping at Avenue des Champs-Élysées. She visits an 18th century hat shop and is given the stink eye by a snooty store clerk. Later, she returns and tells the clerk "You work on commission? Mal comprendre! Big mistake!" Okay, back to reality.  If you're not into French history, here's a quick lesson about King Louis and Jean:  King Louis XV had an affair with Jeanne du Barry. It was a HUGE escandalo. Anyhoo, the movie opens tomorrow and will only be in theaters for 5 days. It will then be kicked to Apple TV+ at a later date. Read More

Comment: Um, Johnny Depp speaking French in a "Napoleon meets Pretty Woman" period piece isn't how I want to waste 2 hours of my life. No thanks, hard pass.

Lucille Ball, born on a warm summer day in 1911 in Jamestown, New York, blossomed into an icon whose light continues to shine brightly on American television. Known affectionately as Lucy, she brought laughter and joy into the homes of millions with her groundbreaking role in the beloved sitcom *I Love Lucy*. Her journey from a small-town girl with big dreams to a Hollywood legend is a testament to her resilience and boundless talent. Lucille's early years were marked by adversity, with the loss of her father at the tender age of four.

Moving to New York City to study drama was a bold step, the beginning of her remarkable journey. Initially deemed too shy for the stage, Lucille's indomitable spirit couldn't be dimmed. She transitioned into modeling, adopting the pseudonym Diane Belmont, and e

Greetings, Peckercheeks! I'm afraid I'm a bit under the weather this week, so today's post will be a short one. Seen here leaving my den of sick are the esteemed healthcare professionals who've been taking care of me 'round the clock - Dr. Poolittle and Florence Bite-intail. They've been doing the most and are famished, so they're on their way to Denny's to get down on a couple Grand Slams. If you see them in traffic putting the pedal to the medal, mind your business! It's been a long night!

Behold the adored Mrs. Hannah "Treasure" O'Hara and her devoted pooch, Miss Thalia. Forever, it seems, they've been entertaining lucky Manor residents with their music and dancing prowess, and now want it known that they're available for gatherings outside Manor grounds.  But please, no orgies or key parties. It's not that they judge such gatherings, but part of knowing your art is knowing where it's best deployed - and where it's not. For those who need to know, "Treasure" is not a nickname given to Hannah by her mother, but by her cherished late husband, Aiden, a nickname he gave to his favorite body part of Hannah's which shall remain unnamed because you really ought to use your imagination and not have everything spelled out for you like some sort of unschooled knob. You're better than that, or at least Treasure and Thalia hope so.
