    Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe were both sex symbols groomed in the studio system, I'm sure both slept with a lot of people to get ahead and if they weren't on each other's life lists, they were probably closer than a "Kevin Bacon".

    The beckhams are represented by Simon Fuller, who owns Idol..They frequently send their kids, with nanny to watch tapings of the show.

    Scathing Marilyn Monroe rumor:
    It took several hours for her body to make it to the medical examiner’s office after she was found in her home. It's rumored that some really big Hollywood players paid large sums to have some, erm, alone time with her, uh, body, before it was sent to the ME. Not saying this is true, or if it is, Tony Curtis was a member of Phi Beta Necro, but, yeah, eww. (Don’t ask me why I know these things.)
    At any rate, I’d question some of these, "I slept with Marilyn" revelations 40 some odd years later.

    @hilikusopus: In their last tour, instead of doing a solo like the rest of the girls, she did a fashion parade, because even she knows she can't sing. So I guess that makes her a decent judge of singing ability.

    She's not replacing Paula Abdul; she's guest judging. Jeez, you guys need to waste waaaay more time watching this crap so that you have vested interest in following up on these stories. You are really throwing away your lives on all this "work" and "spending time with loved ones" junk.

    Posh is not known for being an 'off-the-cuff' speaker. She's along the lines of Paula's gibberish, however, she sometimes makes sense. I doubt the story, however. Paula will be back, and probably paid handsomely. Right now, the producers of Idol are looking rather silly for giving Simon and that little guy he sleeps with a boatload of money without sharing it with the girls. Demand equal-pay Paula! Well, if you can form those words. Practice in the mirror for a little while.

    @Cynner: It's painfully obvious they just want to dump Paula. Pretty sad. I'm sure Simon and Ry-Ry could come up with the money Paula wanted just from the loose change in their sofas.

    If they're paying celebs to tout weight-loss schemes, shouldn't that starlet from Blind Items last week get in touch with Lenox and say nice things about their sterling silver butter knives?

    And when I say "is frequently seen," I mean like 10-20 years ago. Wackypedia says he's now in a wheelchair.

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: He is in a wheelchair. I met him a few years ago when I was working at the airport. He flirted with every woman in sight. The wheelchair was not an impediment. In fact, I think he used it to get chicks to bend over it front of him.

    @Swordfish: I think the key part of his statement was that he used to smoke alone. Now he is a social pot head. That is why his kids are always eating Cheetos, I think.
