DENISE RICHARDS TO SELL REALITY TV HOME
Residents of posh California neighbourhood Hidden Hills are running the former Bond girl out of her US$4.2m home, sick of the never-ending presence of cameras and constant filming since the premiere of her reality show ‘It’s Complicated’ at the beginning of the year.
Her neighbours are also unhappy about Richards’ growing number of pets, griping, “This is a gated community, not a zoo”, prompting the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control to demand the mother-of-two obtain a kennel license for her 14 dogs.
Richards, who is battling custody of her children with her ex-husband, flat-acting star of Two And A Half Men, Charlie Sheen, is reportedly not happy to be forced to sell her home.
LOHANS MOVE OUT
And yet another reality TV family forced to move out. The Lohans, mother-of-the-year Dina and her two less-famous children, Ali and Cody, are looking to move out of their Long Island home after being beset by fans over-eager to take candid shots of the family now that they’re supposedly famous from their own reality show, Living Lohan.
“We’re looking for another home because people are driving by our house and trying to take pictures and stuff,” Ali, 14, a wannabe, tells New York Daily News.
Sorry to break it to you, honey, but it’s probably because they want to sneak a shot of your famous but misguided older sister stumbling out of the house with a grog in her hand.
PAMELA ANDERSON UNDER FIRE FOR BIG BROTHER APPEARANCE
Pamela Anderson, arguably the original famous-for-being-famous bombshell, has come under fire from animal rights activists for appearing in Australia’s Big Brother which is sponsored by KFC, a fast food company Anderson has been vocally protesting against. But Anderson insists she did not know of the affiliation and put it down as mere ‘coincidence’.
“Every show has a bunch of sponsors and it’s not something you look into when you are offered a job,” she explains. Besides, she adds, she couldn’t pass up the offer and that the pay cheque is ‘much more than I am worth’.
Seeing as she hasn’t done any body of work in the past few years, I wouldn’t be surprised about that. It remains to be seen whether the buxom, peroxide-blonde will help boost the flagging ratings of this reality show that is surely past its due date.
HIILTON, SPEARS & LOHAN TEAMING UP IN A REALITY SHOW?
That’s what Paris Hilton is hoping to do. Inspired by the success of Denise Richards’ ‘It’s Complicated’, the talentless twig is hoping to convince her fellow tabloid whores to team up in their own two-hour reality show. She wants to produce a show that will focus on their lives in the spotlight and will also include some candid revelations.
Well, if her video ‘One Night in Paris’ wasn’t candid enough, I don’t know what is.
