KESHA AND HER “NO PANTS” AIRPLANE FLIGHT

#kesha #janetcharlton

Other passengers got an eyeful when Kesha flew back from her performance at Sundance. She was late and worked up a sweat rushing to catch her plane and had to sit in coach with two companions. After the plane took off she announced that she was “too HOT!” and impulsively pulled her pants off! She was nonchalantly sitting in her panties and her friends exchanged meaningful glances and looked very uncomfortable. Eventually one of them tossed a sweater on Kesha’s lap to cover up her lack of pants and avoid potential problems….

WHILE LARRY KING SNOOZES, SHAWN KING CHARGES

Shawn King must have cashed in when she caught her husband Larry King fiddling around with her sister Shannon. They ALMOST divorced. Yeah, she forgave him, but now she seems to have unlimited shopping rights! She was seen in Bergdorf Goodman not long ago perusing the fine jewelry counter while Larry obediently sat in a chair dozing. By the time he woke up she had spent over $50,000 on baubles.

ANTHONY EDWARDS: AN OFFER HE COULDN’T RESIST

#anthonyedwards #janetcharlton

When California born Anthony Edwards left his role as Dr Mark Greene on the hit series “E.R.” after 10 years in 2002, he was financially set for life, and really didn’t need to work again. His wife, make up artist Jeanine Lobell, built up her Stila makeup line and sold it to Estee Lauder for a rumored twenty million dollars. Anthony and Jeanine raised their four children on the east coast in the New York area and according to his friends, money is not an issue. When Anthony was approached to star in the new series Zero Hour he told producers he’d only consider doing it if they shot the series in New York, close to home. Imagine his surprise when they agreed to shoot in NY. He was flattered and took the part. The series looks rather ponderous and melodramatic in the trailer, but it’s nice to see Anthony again.

WILLOW SMITH SIMPLY GREW OUT OF HER “ANNIE” ROLE

#willowsmith #janetcharlton

Back in 2011, Will and Jada Smith announced their production company would be doing the remake of the Broadway show “Annie” with music by Jay-Z, and most important of all, starring their daughter Willow, who was VERY excited about playing the role. They had some trouble settling on a director and the project was postponed several times. Now the movie has come together and Sony hired someone named Will Gluck to direct,but Willow is OUT as Annie. The reason: she simply GREW too much! When Willow had the part she was only nine. Now 11, she’s grown into a very tall girl and can no longer play a child. Ironically, Lilla Crawford, who currently plays “Annie” on Broadway is also 11, but far more petite than Willow. Since she’s too big to play a child, Willow will have to audition for teen roles now.

MELISSA GILBERT HAS NO QUALMS ABOUT GETTING ENGAGED TO TIMOTHY BUSFIELD

#melissagilbert #janetcharlton

What a surprise. We didn’t even realize that “Little House on the Prairie” star Melissa Gilbert, 48, and “Thirtysomething” star Timothy Busfield, 55, were dating, much less engaged! (It will be the third marriage for both of them) You may recall, according to TMZ, Timothy was accused of sexual battery in May of 2012. He took a date (not Melissa) to the Arclight theater in Sherman Oaks and they kissed during the movie. The date claimed that Tim subsequently groped her against her will, and filed a report – police investigated, but the matter was dropped. Apparently this “bad date” didn’t deter Melissa, and they got engaged over the holidays.

BOBBY BROWN IS OFF THE HOOK: HE DIDN’T GET WHITNEY INTO DRUGS

#bobbybrown #janetcharlton

Bobby Brown has always been wrongly blamed for introducing Whitney Houston to drugs and his denials have finally been validated. Whitney fans blamed Bobby for her drug-ravaged voice and declining career and eventual death. Finally, Whitney’s older brother Michael has confessed that HE was actually the one who introduced Whitney to drugs and eventually crack cocaine, in the 80’s and she took to it like a duck to water. When Bobby came along, Whitney was delighted to find someone willing to join her in partying with drugs so they had a lot in common. But Whitney was no innocent child before she met Bobby – she was an experienced drug abuser. And it’s about time Bobby was cleared of those accusations.
