Tori Spelling: I’m NOT POOR! I’m FINE!!

Tori Spelling wants everyone to know that, despite media reports, she is most definitely NOT broke. The daughter of the late, filthy-rich media mogul Aaron Spelling has been the target of nasty rumors that she and her husband Dean McDermott are in debt and totes bankrupt . “I just want that story to go away!” she told People during an interview. “We're doing a great new series, I'm really happy, we're doing a new show on Cooking Channel – we're not bankrupt, we're not struggling, we're fine!” Rumors of Tori and Dean in the poor house reached their peak when the couple, in fact, moved to a poorer house earlier this year. The couple downgraded from their posh abode in Calabasas to a much smaller rental in Encino , better known as the porn capital of the USA. Spelling clears up the reason for the relocation. “There is no real myth behind it,” she said. “The owner wanted to sell the house, so we simply moved to a new house!” The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum explained that with four young children in different grades, they are renting so they can test out the best area schools for the kids. Spelling believes that the rumors of her money misfortunes began when she wrote a chapter about finances in her 2013 memoir, Spelling It Like It Is .  “I thought I was being relatable, talking about how celebrities go through financial struggles, too,” she explained. “We're not perfect, we have made a lot of choices financially with real estate that didn't work out… and that just escalated into this story about financial struggles, bankruptcy.” “To this day that haunts me!” she lamented. Got that, guys? Everything is just hunky dory for Tori. So when you see the actress-cum-reality star in a late night commercial on cable for Psychic Source , just remember that SHE'S TOTALLY FINE!! P.S. They give financial advice, too.

Prison Inmates Rescue Three Boys From Drowning

Three prison inmates were assigned to clean up a park near the Yacolt, Wash., minimum security correctional facility where they’re incarcerated last week. They ended up saving three young lives. During their work-release community service, Nelson Pettis, 37, Larry Bohn, 29, and Jon Fowler, 29, heard children’s screams coming from a nearby creek. Rushing to the water’s edge, the prisoners saw three young boys struggling to keep their heads above water. The children’s small canoe had capsized. The boys struggled to stay above water in the cold, 25-mph current rushing towards the Washington River, and the inmates knew they were in trouble. “It was raging pretty fast,” Pettis told KPTV news. “They were really scared.” He and Bohn didn’t think twice, leaping into the water to grab the boys, later identified as brothers ages 8, 10 and 16, and carrying them to a small island. There, they awaited emergency rescue. “They kept telling us, ‘Thank you, thank you,'” Bohn told reporters, adding that the three kids were “really scared” but very grateful and will be alright. “I think we did something that any good person would do. You see three helpless kids in a river, you help. That’s what you do,” said Fowler. “Just cause we’re incarcerated, doesn’t mean we’re bad people. We made some bad choices in our lives, but we’re still, we’re just like everybody else.” “We’re just paying our debt for what we did wrong.”

Justin Bieber’s Mom: Keep Me Out of Abortion Debate!

Justin Bieber finds herself in the middle of a heated debate, and not over whether or her son ought to reconcile with Selena Gomez . Yes, Pattie Mallette is promoting the film Crescendo because she hopes it will raise money for centers that assist pregnant women – but, no, she is not taking any kind of pro-choice stance. “The press has been saying that I’m producing an anti-abortion film and taking this big stance,” Mallette told The AP. “You know, I haven’t shared my stance with anyone and I’m not here to make a political statement, so there’s been a lot of assumptions made.” Mallette gave birth to Bieber at 18 and has been open about the pressure on her to terminate the pregnancy at the time. She also attempted suicide many years ago and dabbled in drugs and alcohol. But the promotion of this movie, Mallette says, is to support programs such as the one that essentially saved her life after she was kicked out of her parents’ home. “The pregnancy center that I lived in is now closed because of lack of funds, so I thought it was a really important thing that [producers are] doing to raise money.” On a lighter side, Mallette was also asked about Justin’s butt crack , which he shared last month with Instagram followers. “I don’t want to see him doing that kind of stuff,” she said. “But, you know, he’s 18. He’s making some of his own decisions and he’s going to make some mistakes and he’s going to make some good choices, too.”

Rick Ross: Not Scared of Another Drive-By

He may have been the target of a drive-by shooting attempt, but rapper Rick Ross is laughing in the face of mortal danger these days, literally. Stepping out in L.A. Thursday with a big smile on his face and a fat cigar in his mouth, he couldn’t look less like a guy worried about being offed. The Rick Ross shooting attempt in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., caused him to crash his car into a building January 28, but he was unharmed, and unfazed. It’s pretty clear that someone has it out for him – a Chicago gang even made a death threat late last year – but he’s just layin’ back and doin’ his thing. A little too casual, 50 Cent and other conspiracy theorists might say. Fiddy’s gone on record alleging that Ross may have staged it all. Was it a hoax?   Maybe. No holes in the car. Or Rick. No! How can you even suggest that. View Poll »

Ballers: Money Mitt Romney’s Wife Ann Says “I Don’t Consider Myself Wealthy, We Can Be Poor In Spirit”

Whatever beyotch, these Romney characters are worth at least $250 Million, and this heffa is talking about she ain’t wealthy: Apparently “Romneying” — defined as “accidentally bragging about your place high up in the economic stratosphere” — runs in the family. His wife, Ann Romney, inexplicably talked about her wealth this afternoon during an interview on Fox News. “We can be poor in spirit, and I don’t even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing, it can be here today and gone tomorrow,” she said. The couple made $20.9 million last year, making more in a day than an average American makes in a year, and are worth about $250 million overall. From discussing his NASCAR team-owning friends, to saying he likes firing people, to bragging about Ann’s two Cadillacs, Mitt also has a problem with accidentally and inappropriately touting his enourmous wealth. And… She added: “How I measure riches is by the friends I have and the loved ones I have and the people that I care about in my life, and that’s where my values are and that’s where my riches are.” A Romney spokeswoman said the full interview showed what Mrs. Romney meant by her remarks. Mitt Romney has drawn criticism for offhand remarks that point to the wide economic divide separating him and nearly all other Americans. His 2010 tax returns show he earned about $21.7 million from his investments and, after charitable donations, paid about 14 percent in federal income taxes. While campaigning in Michigan, Romney referred to his wife driving “a couple of Cadillacs” as he pointed to his longstanding support of American automakers. At other times during his campaign for the Republican nomination, Romney has referred to the $373,000 he earned in speaking fees over two years as “not very much” and once bet a Republican rival $10,000 to make a point. Romney has also said he was “not concerned about the very poor” and, while referring to insurance companies, remarked, “I like being able to fire people who provide services to me.” Do you believe this broad???

Random Ridiculousness: Man Sues AMC Theater Because The Refreshments Are Too Damn Expensive!!

Wow. At least someone is finally standing up to those super inflated movie concession prices! Movie theaters have long been the target of consumer ire when it came to rising ticket prices, but a man in Michigan feels the steep price for theater snacks is worthy of a lawsuit. Joshua Thompson, of Livonia, filed a class action lawsuit in Wayne County Circuit Court against his local AMC theater, with the aim of forcing film houses around the state to reduce their snack prices, the Detroit Free Press reported. “He got tired of being taken advantage of,” Thompson’s lawyer, Kerry Morgan, of Wyandotte, told the newspaper. “It’s hard to justify prices that are three and four times higher than anywhere else.” According to the publication, Thompson claimed in the suit that he used to bring his own snacks to the theater until AMC posted a sign on the doors banning any outside food and drinks. The suit accuses AMC Theatres of violating the Michigan Consumer Protection Act by charging grossly excessive prices for snacks, and seeks refunds for all customers who were overcharged, and a civil penalty against the company. In 2009, AMC Entertainment joined Regal Entertainment Group in banning outside food and drinks from entering its 300 theater locations. In a statement released at that time, Sun Dee Larson, vice president of corporate communications for Kansas City-based AMC Entertainment, said “AMC recently reviewed its company policy regarding outside food and drink and will no longer be permitting guests to bring in these items, as is the case with many entertainment venues. We are also reviewing and revamping our concessions menu, and we are vigorously investigating many new items to add to our locations nationwide, to provide our guests with as much choice and value as possible.” You think he has a chance of winning this one?
