Chelsea Handler to move on after eight years and other eye-catching headlines
Famed personal manager Irving Azoff has announced that his client, Chelsea Handler, will not sign a new contract with E! Entertainment Network. Her deal ends in nine months. She is "exploring other opportunities."
Actress Kate O'Mara has died at the age of 74. She's most famous for this role: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_zk42SLL2M
The weekend box-office data is out and it looks like the Gubinator has another bomb on his hands. While "Noah" cruised to the top of the charts with $44 million in its opening week. Last week's number 1 and number 2, "Divergent" and "Muppets Most Wanted" each slipped one slot. "Mr. Peabody and Sherman" finished at #4 and "God's Not Dead" rounded out the top 5. Ahnold's new film "Sabotage" finished #7 with only $5.3 million. Critics savaged it, earning only a 22% on Rotten Tomatoes. Heck, it only got 51% from moviegoers. The per screen average winner was the much anticipated "The Raid 2" which brought home over $25,000 on the seven screens it was shown on. Reporter's note: There's a good chance I'll be seeing it tomorrow morning.
Researchers are trying to create linkage between deficiency in Vitamin D and heart disease, particularly coronary artery disease. Reporter's note: Maybe people who are deficient in Vitamin D are more likely to be avoiding the outdoors because we're obese? Therefore it may be the higher BMI and tendency to be sedentary causing the lack of sunshine, therefore creating the appearance of a link between Vitamin D deficiency and heart disease? Just a thought.
On Tuesday, "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" comes out on Blu-Ray. Reporter's note: Okay, who is going to watch the original and then the edited version to count and see if there really are 763 more jokes?
Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald have split and will divorce. Her rep says they remain "best friends." Reporter's note: Does anyone in celebrity-dom ever break up and not remain best friends? Other than Anniston and Pitt of course.
The royal family of Saudi Arabia is moving to deal with issues involving the succession to the throne. Younger princes are being promoted into positions previously held by older ones. The current king is 78 and his current heir apparent is already 69.
Paris has its first female mayor.
A new book about John Wayne says the legendary actor preferred it if his friends called him "Duke" and tells the story of how he got the nickname.
A couple claiming to be Scottish aristocrats are being sought by authorities after collecting tens of thousands in welfare benefits while living on a million dollar yacht.
In Michigan, a man who works at a gas station/convenience store is looking for work after he was fired. His transgression? Posting a note on the doors criticizing his manager for being over an hour late without a phone call. A video of the note went viral and he was let go.
Two thumbs up for someone at the L. A. Times for the following headline: "Tree removal along Crenshaw has residents stumped."
