Spencer Pratt Fires Back at Bruce Jenner May 20, 2008

The feud is heating up! Spencer Pratt has words for Brody Jenner’s dad Bruce who dubbed him a “bad influence.”

“That’s a bold statement for someone who only decided to try and be Brody’s father after Brody got famous,” Pratt says. “He should focus more on trying to be a father and worry less about Brody’s influences. Brody’s doing just fine.”

Bruce Jenner told Us that he blames Brody’s pals including Frankie Delgado and Pratt for Brody’s womanizing ways.

“He’s been brought down by all his friends,” Bruce said. “It’s not really him. He’s a homeboy.”

Anne Heche Says She Can’t Afford Child Support May 16, 2008

Anne Heche says she can no longer afford to pay the nearly $15,000-a-month in child and spousal support because she’s unemployed after the cancellation of Men In Trees.

“I am continuing to look for work, but I have no offers pending and the impending strike by the Screen Actors Guild reduces my prospects for work even further,” Heche, 38, writes in court papers.

A judge Wednesday gave her a temporary break, saying she didn’t have to pay her next support payment to her ex Coley Laffoon, 34, covering the month of July. But Superior Court Judge Gail Ruderman Feuer ordered the actress to provide updated income and expense information.

In a court declaration, Heche indicated her financial straits were dire and that she can no longer afford to pay the $14,798 in monthly support, along with private school tuition for her 6-year-old son Homer, the mortgage on her house in Canada where Men In Trees filmed, rent on her Los Angeles home and car expenses.

“Since January 18, 2008, I have been unemployed and had no income from employment except for one very short-term contract for a movie role for which I received a total of $65,000, approximately the amount I received for one episode of Men In Trees, she writes.

She adds: “I do receive some residuals from previous acting work. However, the amounts are nominal and are offset by recurring business expenses that must be paid whether or not I am working.”

Barbara Walters “Will Not Dignify” Star Jones’ Comments May 7, 2008

Guess she left what dignity she had behind when she revealed her decades old affair to Oprah!

———————————————————————————–

 

Barbara Walters is staying quiet about Star Jones’ recent comments on her new memoir, Audition.

Jones spoke about Walters’ tell-all, which chronicles her affair with a married senator in the 1970s. (Jones said “It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book,” Jones told Us. “It speaks to her true character.”)

When contacted by Us, Walters’ rep said, “I will not dignify this with a comment. Barbara’s written words say it all!”
