Howard Stern, Condoleezza Rice and George Clooney Highlight Piers Morgan’s First Week on Tonight

Posted on January 10, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Perhaps when Piers Morgan insinuated that all other media will fail , he meant that he’d single-handedly put them out of business. In addition to Oprah Winfrey, Morgan has compiled a hoarders-like line-up of first week guests: Radio star Howard Stern, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Ricky Gervais and George Clooney. Not bad, Piers. No Simon Cowell, but hey — Stern! Just watch out for Captain Janks . [ The Wrap ]

Val Kilmer Rings In New Year By Owing Half Million Dollars In Taxes

Posted on January 2, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The Christmas season may be over, but erstwhile Iceman Val Kilmer still has some giving to do. US Weekly is reporting that the one-time Batman owes the federal government nearly $500,000 in unpaid taxes . The feds have put a lien on Kilmer’s New Mexico ranch, which he has been struggling to sell since 2009 — with a starting price of $33 million, Val’s slashed the price to an affordable $18.5 million. Combined with Kilmer’s last brush with the gub’mint — wherein he had to apologize for saying Santa Fe is filled with drunks and calling his county the “homicide capital of the Southwest” — perhaps we’ll see him at a Tea Party rally sometime soon?[ USW eekly ]
