Jessica Simpson has long been a punching bag for the press – she’s been tormented for her weight, her lack of talent, and her tragic love life. No need to feel sorry for Jessica – she’s laughing all the way to the bank! Jessica Simpson’s licensed items took in half a BILLION dollars last year! That means Jessica earned 50 MILLION DOLLARS last year with her clothing, handbags, beauty products, fragrances, shoes etc. Hers is the #1 selling shampoo at Wal-Mart. And the deals keep coming – she just licensed a line of watches for young women with Pascal Mouawad.

FRED GOLDMAN IS PICKING ON OJ SIMPSON AGAIN
Filed Under: Fred Goldman > Lawsuit > Money > OJ Simpson > Prison
Fred Goldman is a real hero in our eyes because he never gives up. OJ Simpson wouldn’t be sitting in prison right now if it weren’t for Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, who was murdered by OJ along with Nicole Simpson. After winning a civil suit against OJ and 33 million dollars in restitution, Fred relentlessly pursued OJ for the money and OJ was in the act of concealing his income when he was arrested for armed robbery. Anyway, Fred has NOT stopped the much-deserved harassment – now he’s filed suit against OJ’s lawyer – he wants the suit OJ was wearing (above) when he was acquitted of murder. Let’s hope he wins the suit, auctions it off for a lot of money, and keeps up the fight!

Simon Cowell and his new fiancee Mezghan Hussainy took a stroll around the block of his sprawling Beverly Hills house. It looks like the American Idol make up artist will just have to get used to living in this neighborhood. After just six months of dating, she hit the jackpot when Mezghan landed her 90 million dollars a year boss. A lot of make up artists marry well in Hollywood.

WHEN IT COMES TO MONEY, BEYONCE GOT THE LAST LAUGH ON LADY GAGA
Filed Under: Beyoncé > Gwen Stefani > Lady Gaga > Money > New Year's Eve > Prince
We thought Lady Gaga cleaned up on New Year’s Eve, pulling in $300,000 for her Fontainebleau show in Miami, but that’s not the case. Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich paid 1.7 million dollars for entertainment at HIS New Year’s bash in St Barts – Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, and Prince, each raked in over a half million dollars to perform for 250 guests at Abramovich’s 90 million dollar St Barts estate. The whole party cost FIVE million dollars. According to the NY Post, this is the same guy who ran up a tab of over $47,000 for ten people for a meal at a New York restaurant.

TYRA BANKS WAS CANCELLED – SHE DIDN’T QUIT!
Filed Under: Cancelled > Money > Tyra Banks
Sure, she’d like you to think she’s walking away – but Tyra GOT CANCELLED. On Monday she called her staffers together for a meeting and made the announcement that the show was cancelled. Tyrannical Tyra does NOT treat her employees well like Oprah does- they were the last to know. She’s always given them chintzy Christmas gifts and this year they got pink slips. She told everyone to get their resumes together. An insider told us the show was cancelled simply because it cost too much – it never recovered financially from the move from LA to NY that Tyra insisted on, plus Tyra’s salary was huge.

CHARLIE SHEEN: MARRIAGE ON THE ROCKS, OR PATCHED UP?
Filed Under: Brooke Mueller > Charlie Sheen > Crimes and Misdemeanors > Domestic Violence > Marriage > Money

Nannies took Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller’s twin boys, Max and Bob, outside to get some fresh air in Aspen. Charlie and Brooke are probably too embarrassed to show THEIR faces in public. Rumors about the Sheen marriage are flying. Brooke’s friends say the marriage has been on the rocks for awhile, but Charlie’s people insist everything is fine. Charlie’s people have been drilling Brooke on what to say and do – they don’t want this incident to affect his career. Money is also being discussed. If Brooke makes this incident go away, we’re thinking she’ll have a nice bank account. It makes us wonder what IS going on behind those closed doors.

ATHINA ONASSIS LOVES HORSES AND HER HUSBAND
Filed Under: Athina Onassis > Husband > Married > Money

It’s been four years and it looks like Athina Onassis’s marriage to Alvaro Miranda Neto is still going strong. Lucky Athina is the only living direct descendent of Aristotle Onassis and her fortune has been estimated at 600 million to 2 billion dollars. Athina’s problematic mother Christina had four dismal marriages with most of her husbands running off with models. Unhappy Christina was no beauty (plastic surgery at 17) and battled weight problems – she died accidentally from a combination of diet pills and sleeping pills when Athina was a child. Fortunately, Athina, 24, doesn’t seem to have inherited her problems.

MADONNA WANTS JESUS TO BE AS AMBITIOUS AS SHE IS
Filed Under: Jesus Luz > Madonna > Money

Madonna is a tornado of ambition and she wants her boyfriend Jesus Luz to be the same way. (He’s always been entirely too fond of lying on the beach.) She’s been making connections for him to get modeling jobs – but that’s not enough. She also wants him moonlighting as a DJ. It’s rumored that she spent $30,000 on DJ equipment for him this summer and now she’s getting him booked at celebrity parties in New York. If SHE’S at the party, Jesus doesn’t play her music because he says she hears it enough at home.

RELEASE OF MICHAEL JACKSON’S “THIS IS IT” HAS ALREADY BEEN EXTENDED FOR THREE MORE WEEKS
Filed Under: Michael Jackson > Money > This Is It
We KNEW that Sony would drop their “two weeks only” release of Michael Jackson’s “This Is It,” but we didn’t think it would happen so FAST. The movie, which was released Tuesday to great reviews, was number one at the box office, earning 32.5 million, but Sony had been hoping for 40 million. Sony immediately extended the release for three more weeks so you still have plenty of time to catch the movie at your local cineplex. Apparently the film wipes out any negative memories viewers had of Michael’s “idiosyncrasies” and they walk out lamenting the loss of his talent. Have YOU seen it yet?

WILL SMITH IS IN BED WITH SCIENTOLOGY
Filed Under: Jada Pinkett > Money > Scientology > Will Smith
When “Crash” director Paul Haggis defected from Scientology recently it stimulated a well-deserved tornado of publicity, and the story went everywhere. But for some reason, when The Hollywood Reporter’s Roger Friedman wrote about Will Smith and Jada Pinkett’s contributions to Scientology last year, it didn’t get a lot of attention. Remember, Will Smith vehemently DENIED being a Scientologist, but he donated $80,000 to Scientology groups in 2008 according to tax filing. Jada Pinkett Smith, who donated $122,000, DOESN’T deny being a Scientologist, and is outraged by criticism of the cult. Jada said in a 2008 interview “You have people who are attacking and want to fight. And don’t know nothing. How you gonna not know nothing about Scientology and attack somebody? It’s dangerous and it’s ignorant. And as an American I’m not gonna be a part of that.”

ANNE HECHE DOESN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT SHE WANTS
Filed Under: Anne Heche > Broke? > Money > Real Estate
Maybe Anne Heche WASN”T exaggerating last year when she claimed she was nearly broke and couldn’t afford to pay $15000 a month to her exhusband Coley Laffoon for spousal and child support. Since then she had a baby named Atlas with her new boyfriend James Tupper and her series “Men in Trees” was cancelled. She started appearing on “Hung” but money problems still haunt her. Recently she tried to purchase a two million dollar house in Hancock Park (where she once lived with Ellen Degeneres) but her loan was not approved and it fell out of escrow. She didn’t come up with the necessary cash for a huge down payment, so she lost it.

RANDY AND EVI QUAID ARE THE NEW BONNIE & CLYDE
Filed Under: Crimes and Misdemeanors > Drugs > Evi Quaid > Money > Randy Quaid
The recently arrested Randy (“Brokeback Mountain”) Quaid and his crazy wife Evi seem to be the new Bonnie & Clyde of Hollywood. Besides running up exorbitant bills at expensive hotels and skipping off without paying, they escaped in a Hertz rental car that was reported missing. Not long ago Evi hired a private detective because she believed that “the same people who killed David Carradine” were after her husband. The detective ended up getting a restraining order against the Quaids – she told radaronline.com that Evi kept her drug use and spending hidden from her husband and the shaken detective feared that Evi might kill Randy and/or herself. We predict rehab is dead ahead for these two.

JERMAINE JACKSON: “I AM THE NEXT MICHAEL JACKSON”
Filed Under: Family Matters > Jermaine Jackson > Las Vegas > Michael Jackson > Money
The Jackson family looked perfectly civil at Michael’s funeral but we hear that behind closed doors they’re furiously battling over money. Everybody wants to cash in and the brothers are at each other’s throats- with Jermaine’s ego turning into a huge problem. Shortly after Michael died, Steve Wynn offered the late Danny Gans’ empty Las Vegas showroom to the remaining Jackson brothers and wanted them to prepare a long running show. They could have taken in 80 million dollars just the first year if was a success. The brothers were psyched to do it but Jermaine decided HE should be paid WAY more than the others. Bickering ensued and Jermaine told shocked producers “ I am the next Michael Jackson and I will be paid accordingly!” Producers just laughed and gave up the whole idea. Timing IS important and last we heard the Jackson brothers were pitching their act to the small time lounges in Las Vegas.

LA TOYA JACKSON HAS EXPENSIVE TASTE

First it was Jermaine and now we have ANOTHER Jackson hitting Rodeo Drive with a vengeance! La Toya popped into Chanel and created such a stir among tourists that when she finished shopping she had to be escorted out. As the fees for interviews and appearances keep rolling in, Michael Jackson’s less successful brothers and sisters are suddenly IN THE MONEY and living it up. And this is just the beginning – when the personal appearances and tribute performances begin, the siblings will be on easy street.

RODEO DRIVE IS LOOKING GOOD TO JERMAINE JACKSON

Jermaine Jackson was never much of a Rodeo Drive shopper, but ALL OF A SUDDEN – he’s shopping with the best of them on the priciest street in Beverly Hills. Since Michael died, things are certainly looking up financially for his family. Suddenly Jermaine and his brothers are negotiating big money deals to perform and record tributes to Michael. He’d better pay attention because he already blew an opportunity for a European concert because the event was disorganized. Yes, it’s good to be on Rodeo Drive….

DO YOU REALLY THINK PAULA ABDUL IS LEAVING AMERICAN IDOL? PUH-LEEZE!
Filed Under: American Idol > Money > Paula Abdul

We don’t. We don’t care WHAT Paula tweets. She moaned “With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to Idol.” Haul out the violins. We think it’s another carefully orchestrated drama and both sides are enjoying the resulting publicity and attention. It’s all about the MONEY! Paula wants 20 million and Idol producers are giving her a hard time, but both sides will give in and reach an agreement. (Can you really imagine the show without unpredictable Paula?) Meanwhile, they’re both thoroughly enjoying the uproar.

RYAN O’NEAL’S KIDS AGREE WITH EVERYTHING WE SAID ABOUT HIM
Filed Under: Farrah Fawcett > Money > Ryan O'Neal > Tatum O'Neal
We were happy to see that Ryan O’Neal’s kids Tatum and Griffin validated all the claims we made about Ryan cashing in on Farrah’s death. We believed that all that whimpering Ryan did on TV was strictly to publicize HIMSELF, and make some money doing interviews. We always though he was a reprehensible person and father, and his damaged children agree. Newly blonde Tatum has admitted her father did not recognize her at Farrah’s funeral and tried to “pick her up.” Griffin told Larry King that he felt his father Ryan simply “tried to make money off Farrah’s death .” Griffin said “He stuck around to make sure he was in Farrah’s will.” (He WASN”T, Redmond got it all.) Now Griffin suspects that Ryan is sticking close to incarcerated Redmond “because he got all the money.”

Paula Abdul SHOULD look happy – money just keeps piling up in her bank account. TWO Las Vegas casinos are in a bidding war to obtain a talent and variety show she’s pitching. Paula plans to produce a music and dance extravaganza similar to the Cirque du Soliel, but SHE will only appear occasionally onstage. According to the Enquirer, she’s been talking to The Venetian hotel and Steve Wynn’s Encore and both are offering tens of millions of dollars for her services. The rich get richer.
