Don’t cry for Teresa Giudice, people. Yes, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is behind bars in Connecticut at the moment. But she deserves to be there for being a deceitful law-breaker, for starters. And she’ll also make plenty of bank once she’s released in a few months. We previously reported that Giudice will be receiving quite a raise from Bravo when she returns to The Real Housewives of New Jersey next year. And now the awful reality star’s attorney has confirmed that Teresa will be releasing a memoir about her time as an inmate. The memoir will be based on the diaries Giudice has been keeping ever since she starting doing time for various counts of fraud. “It’s going to be about growing up from humble beginnings,” lawyer James J. Leonard Jr. tells Us Weekly about the planned book, adding: “She will also tell the story everyone is dying to know: what life is like behind bars.” Yes, we’re all dying to know what life behind bars as a minimum security prison is like, especially when Giudice has so far revealed such juicy nuggets as the color of her soy burger. Perhaps anyone curious about jail ought to watch Orange is the New Black online instead of paying to line the pockets of someone already rich and famous and really, really, really terrible. Just a suggestion.
Turns out Playboy kingpin Hugh Hefner isn’t the only ex-lover Holly Madison is speaking out against in her new memoir Down the Rabbit Hole . Criss Angel, you’re on blast as well! Yes, after her exit from the Playboy Mansion, Holly turned to – and now has an also-troubled history with – Las Vegas magician Criss Angel. In the book, Holly says they met while she was still with Hef, but only flirted, and never got together in earnest until after she peaced out: “When I announced to him that I was leaving the Playboy mansion , Criss opened up his world to me without even a moment’s hesitation.” “He pleaded with me to move in with him,” she adds, noting that her “need to feel loved would win out over my need for independence.” Holly alleges that Angel would constantly tip off tabloids on stories, set up “candid” paparazzi shoots and used her to boost his career. Worse, he isolated her from her friends, encouraged her to quit her job, became jealous of her own fame and had an “explosive temper.” “For all his fame, fortune, and success, Criss, to me, seemed cripplingly insecure. This was starting to feel all too familiar,” Madison says. Whereas “Hef was a master of manipulation and knew how to cripple a girl’s self-esteem, Criss, on the other hand, just scared me.” Holly says that the magician never hit her , but she was “scared that something of that nature might be lurking around the corner.” Once the facade faded, Madison says she “found him to be unintelligent” and “virtually illiterate” and had nothing in common with her. Sounds like a real winner who checks all the boxes. At least it can’t possibly get worse in bed than sex with Hugh Hefner … probably?
Move over, Beyonce and Jay-Z. There’s a new power couple in town. Forbes has come out with the top three highest-earning tandems in Hollywood… and the list is no longer led by Queen Bey and her king. Instead, with a combined annual income of $146 million, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris have come out on top for 2015. Cha-ching! View Slideshow: Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris: So in Love! Harris and Swift were first spotted out together in late March, so the relationship is rather new. It’s hard to really compare this couple to the other rich pairings ranked number-two and number-three by Forbes: Beyonce and Jay-Z; and Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert. Especially when Swift has a long dating history of things not exactly working out in the long run. But still. Money talks. And Taylor and Calvin have A LOT of it together. Along with their music careers, both halves of this couple have signed impressive endorsement deals: Swift with Diet Coke, Keds and Sony; and Harris with Giorgio Armani and Sol Republic headphones. Beyoncé and Jay-Z are worth $110.5 million, while Lambert and Shelton check in at a measly $57 million. Where the heck are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West? It’s a good question. Forbes will unveil its complete list of top-earning celebrities (by annual income) on Monday, June 29, giving readers a chance to do some simple math to figure out how much Kimye is worth. But it’s worth noting these are the only three famous couples where both members are included in the magazine’s Celebrity 100. Heck, Kim isn’t even the richest member of her own immediate family!
Holly Madison no longer talks to Hugh Hefner anymore, but she sure is spilling the beans about him in her new memoir Down the Rabbit Hole . According to Holly, he opened up since their breakup, too – in the form of creepy, uncalled-for letters long after she left the Playboy Mansion. Madison says Hefner’s bedroom was miserable and that sex with him was something where you just wanted to it get over with ASAP. Hugh’s letters weren’t creepy in a sexual way, though. More like an overprotective parental, stalker, I-still-own-your-ass sort of way. “They were all very formal, short letters, and it would usually be in response to something I said in the press,” Madison, 35, explains. “At the time I had a TV show [ Holly’s World ] going on, so I was doing all kinds of random interviews and they’d ask me my opinion.” “On the new Girls Next Door, or who he was dating.” “If I said anything that was slightly not to his liking, he’d send me a reprimanding type of letter,” Holly said, and that didn’t sit well. “And it just got to the point where I’d throw them away and not even look at them. There was just a very creepy vibe to them.” Holly Madison on Hugh Hefner Sex: Just Get it Over With! “I felt like he was trying to act like he was my dad,” she says of her former boyfriend, “and like control every move that I made.” There has been discussion over why Madison, now married with a child by husband Pasquale Rotella, is airing this dirty laundry now. Kendra Wilkinson – who Madison also tears a new one in her memoir – suggests that Holly is out for revenge and just bitter at Hef. K-Dubs posits that Holly wanted to be taken care of for life by Hefner; Holly says she did the leaving, and he offered to buy her back. She claims he actually rewrote his will to leave her $3 million, contingent upon her living in the Mansion and doing his daily bidding. Madison recalls: “I found this folder on my side of the bed when I said I was leaving and going in to pack up the stuff, and it was clear he’d left it out for me to see.” Holly Madison: Hugh Hefner Bedroom Antics Were MISERABLE “It seemed like a desperate ploy. It was definitely worse than middle school because in middle school you get to go home at the end of the day!” Madison’s departure didn’t sit well with Hefner, but her latest claims have hurt more. The 89-year-old says she’s the desperate one. “Over the course of my life I’ve had more than my fair share of romantic relationships with wonderful women,” Hefner said in a statement . The Playboy founder added: “Many moved on to live happy, healthy, and productive lives, and I’m pleased to say remain dear friends today.” “Sadly, there are a few who have chosen to rewrite history in an attempt to stay in the spotlight. As the old saying goes: You can’t win ’em all!” In any case, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny promises to be a big seller. No word on whether she’ll publish Hugh’s creepy letters to her in the second edition of the tome, or whether he’s writing one right now. View Slideshow: Holly Madison Photos: Through the Years
Kendra Wilkinson has taken a break from pretending to be angry on Marriage Boot Camp in order to actually be angry at Holly Madison. The latter has been making the media rounds of late promoting of her new memoir, recounting her supposedly miserable life at the Playboy Mansion . In one excerpt from her book, Madison even goes so far as to say she wanted to kill herself back when she was Hugh Henfer’s girlfriend. She has some harsh words for Kendra, too. According to Madison, Wilkinson is the fakest person alive and gave her the cold shoulder as soon as The Girls Next Door ended its run. Kendra, however, says “hundreds of people” had a “great experience” at the Mansion and that she is grateful for all Hefner did for them. Hefner has also chalked Madison’s memoir up to sour grapes, and basically says she’s full of it; Wilkinson appears to be #TeamHef. “I am so appreciative of those five years living at the mansion,” Kendra tells People , praising him for opening so many doors for her. She goes on to say that as strange as it sounds, “if it wasn’t for the mansion, I wouldn’t have met [my husband], I wouldn’t have my kids.” So why would Madison say such awful things? Kendra has a very personal theory about that. “Holly, you can tell she had this ulterior motive every minute being at the mansion,” Wilkinson says, and that motive was not disguised. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrities Who Are Also Amateur Porn Stars “That motive was, it was clear as day, she wanted Hef’s kids, she wanted a piece of Playboy and she wanted to marry Hef for… his will.” “That didn’t happen, so what do you think’s gonna happen? Revenge,” Kendra says, bluntly. “We’re witnessing some revenge here.” Rumors of Madison getting engaged to Hefner did permeate the Internet for a long time back in 2009 and 2010 when they were a thing. To hear Holly tell it, Hefner offered to BUY her with that very inheritance if she stayed at the mansion when she tried to leave; she refused. Holly did not attend Hefner’s wedding to Crystal Harris years later, while Hugh played a big role in Kendra’s nuptials to Hank Baskett. As for her relationship with Wilkinson, Madison says she hasn’t spoken to her in years, and Kendra isn’t disputing that part at least. “I don’t miss her,” she adds of her former co-Playmate.

Little Madison doesn’t appear to be the “fatherless child” The Game says she is… Biological Father Of The Game’s Newly Claimed Child Posts Recent Photos With Child As we previously reported, The Game clarified that the new mystery daughter he has been posting near-hourly pictures of and with is a recent addition to his family that he has assumed fatherly responsibilities for in the lifelong absence of her biological father. Well now, her biological father has come forward with his own set of photos of the little girl in an effort to show that he is indeed in her life. The user known as @madison_mike quietly popped up on Instagram yesterday evening and began posting recent daddy/daughter snaps with the “fatherless” child Jayceon has been touting as his own all over social media. These pics look pretty recent…if the man in the photos truly is Madison’s father, there is no way that she doesn’t know who he is at all. However, whether he is a constant presence in her life or a supportive figure truly remains to be seen. It’s great that The Game wants to step up for a child who needs a parent…but where does he fit into the equation as a father figure if she already has a father in her life? Peep more very recent pictures of Mike, Madison and her family together after the jump.
Out of all the chicks I cyber-stalk follow online, and trust me, there’s a lot of them, Madison Murray here is by far the coolest one of them all. And no, I’m not just saying that to try to get in her pants. Oh wait, nevermind, yes I am. Anyway, here’s Madison’s latest super cute photoshoot, and after this, I think it’s time to officially take our relationship to the next level: I want to meet her and make her my ex-wife. I know, I know, I’m a hopeless romantic. It’s kind of embarrassing.
Will Britney Spears walk down the aisle again? The pop princess was seen sporting a new band on THAT finger at her son’s soccer game on Saturday, sparking rumors that she might be engaged to beau David Lucado . Brit Brit and David met nine months ago and the pair have been looking loved up ever since they went public as an item, so it wouldn’t be a total shock. There’s no official word yet on whether the couple are engaged (or married), but we wouldn’t be shocked if they went ahead and made it official. Spears has said “I do” twice before. She wed Kevin Federline, the father of her two sons, back in 2004 and famously married childhood pal Jason Alexander for a few hours earlier that year. Britney was engaged to now-ex Jason Trawick for about a year until the couple called it off. Spears is currently in the midst of her Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood. Could a visit to one of Sin City’s nearby chapels be far off? Third time’s a charm, eh?
