'The Real Girl Next Door'

I’m still not sure that I love the title since it really seems like a rip off, but I love Denise Richards, so it’s all good.  Her new book, The Girl Next Door is now available and for anyone with the slightest interest in her life or Charlie’s it’s a must read.

Here’s the low down:

IT’S COMPLICATED.

We’ve read the scandalous headlines, watched her sexy breakout performances in Starship Troopers and Wild Things, and seen her many public faces on her reality television show—the beautiful vixen, the devoted mother, the hard-working entertainer, and the fun-loving friend. But how well do we really know Denise Richards?

Like so many small-town girls, she dreamed of making it big in Hollywood. But following a painful, high-profile divorce from Charlie Sheen, she found herself raising their two young daughters alone as her mother was dying of cancer. Denise writes openly and honestly about these experiences and more: she lets you in on her childhood dreams, her fated move to Hollywood with her close-knit family, her rise to fame, the pressures of living in the spotlight, and the controversy surrounding her relationships. Through it all, she managed to keep her sense of humor and optimism.

Will you be reading this one?

Lindsay Lohan is getting sued again.  I swear, she’s got frequent flyer miles at the courthouse!  This time she has been sued by a guy who sold her speakers and installed audio and video equipment in her Venice home.   The guy, Stephen Clark is claiming,  in small claims court, that after he did the work, she didn’t pay up.

All he wants is $1,180 to cover the costs and his “missed work.” So I don’t know why she doesn’t just pay and get it over with.  I would.  He installed them in June when she was under house arrest. And no worries, because this is a small claims court thing, she can’t go to jail. Were you worried

So do you think this guy is just using her, or is this a legitimate claim?

Amy Winehouse’s funeral service was held today at the Edgwarebury Cemetery with only close family and friends attending.

She was cremated after the service and apparently her ashes are going to be combined with her grandmother’s and sprinkled together.  She was very close to her grandmother.

In honor of Amy Winehouse, her best friend, Kelly Osbourne wore her hair in Amy’s trademark beehive. Amy’s former boyfriend Reg Traviss has finally broken his silence on her death and said:

‘The last three days have been hell. We have suffered a terrible untimely loss and want peace now.

‘I can’t describe what I am going through and I want to thank so much all of the people who have paid their respects and who are mourning the loss of Amy, such a beautiful, brilliant person and my dear love. I have lost my darling who I loved very much.’

In his eulogy her father Mitch spoke of how happy she had been lately and concluded it with:

 ’Goodnight, my angel. Sleep tight.’

It’s still so hard to believe she’s gone at the tender age of 27. She was just a kid! Such a sad loss for such a remarkable talent.

Kim Kardashian’s bridal shower was on July 23, hosted by her momma, Kris Jenner at her home in Los Angeles.  The guest list was very Hollywood of course: Lindsay Lohan, Demi Lovato, Sharon Osbourne, Robin Antin, Serena Williams, Lala Vazquez, Maria Menounos and Mel B.

It was a delicious party with plenty of good food,

“Because Kim has such a sweet tooth, there were plenty of desserts, and Kim was spotted snacking on cupcakes,” the insider tells Life & Style. They also enjoyed Mediterranean food, another insider says.

The ladies were all bonding for hours,

“Kim even made a point of saying that Demi [Lovato] was like her little sister — a lot of people didn’t realize they were so close!” an insider reveals to Life & Style. Demi also tweeted about it the same day: “@KimKardashian I love you. And I won’t forget.. You totally are my big sister…. Hahaha”

The party planners did a great job,

 ”Kris, Kim’s sisters, and Shelli Azoff planned it all,” an insider says. “They all had a great time.”

Very cool.  Not surprising.  I swear, all things Kim are like bedazzled or something.  Expect nothing less that perfection, over the top.

Lauryn Hill who is just 36, has given birth to her sixth child, a baby boy.  He arrived on July 23 with a scare!  The umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, which is really quite common, but always very scary. Thankfully, all is well now.  Mom and baby are doing great and ready to join their big family at home.
