• 'RHOA' Apollo Nida's Jailhouse Paychecks Are Now Being Garnered to Pay Restitution

    Apollo Nida has been locked up since September on various fraud charges, and while the "RHOA" star is looking at eight ears behind bars, he still has been making a nice income. He has been getting paid for his appearances on the reality show and he also has been hoping that his fitness brand will prosper, leaving him with a nice financial cushion once he is finally released. Unfortunately, the U.S. government seems to have a different idea for his jailhouse paychecks: restitution.
  • Legendary '60 Minutes' Correspondent Bob Simon Dead After Car Crash in NYC

    What a crushing week for those working in journalism. Brian Williams seems to have an embellishment problem, Jon Stewart is "restless" and things at "The View" are so bad that even Barbara Walters will not return as a guest host. All that stuff seemed difficult until CBS was dealt a horrible blow last night, Feb. 11, when the car carrying legendary "60 Minutes" correspondent and industry icon Bob Simon careened out of control on the West Side Highway, resulting in a car crash so bad that Simon and the driver had to be cut out of the flattened vehicle. Unfortunately, Simon was pronounced dead at Roosevelt Hospital.
  • Yolanda Foster's Participation in 'RHOBH' Reunion Will Be Limited Due to Neurological Problems From Lyme Disease

    Yolanda Foster's ongoing battle with Lyme disease has been one of the most real stories told on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," and things seem to be getting worse instead of better. We know she suffered a serious relapse in December and has admitted that she has now had difficulty thinking and processing information. It has made writing and watching television difficult, but the reality star is committed to finding a cure for herself and others. She recently returned from a trip overseas to try some experimental treatments and, as always, Foster has carried herself with grace. Producers are concerned, though, because the "RHOBH" reunion show taping is soon and they know she will need to participate on a limited basis despite her neurological problems.
  • Now 53 Outsells Taylor Swift, Becomes First Record to Top Albums Chart but Not Billboard 200; Kid Ink Cracks Top 10

    The new Billboard 200 format has been hot on its incorporation of streams and single downloads into arranging the most relevant chart in music, yet the folks at Billboard failed to notice one thing this past week: For the first time ever, the top of the 200 was different than the album at the top of the albums chart. Although Taylor Swift and 1989 was no. 1 on the chart everyone was watching, it only sold 77,000 actual copies. That's a boost from last week, but not enough to take no. 1 on the albums chart from Now 53, which sold 98,000 copies.
  • Johnny Cash Wins Poll of Best Love Letters Ever; Read Excerpts of Romantic Birthday Note to June Carter Cash

    Johnny Cash has been awarded with a posthumous title for the "greatest love letter of all time," because, you know, we live in an era where such things need to be ranked. Everyone knows a love song or two by the Man ink Black ("I Walk The Line" being one of the more confusing) and everybody knows about his marriage to June Carter Cash, thanks to the film with almost the exact title. Even the most cynical among us (aka your correspondent) will find a bit of relief in the form of Cash's letter to his wife, which he wrote her during 1964 for her 65th birthday.
