All tag results for 'bribery'

The Hills has been off the air for three years now, but the drama still lives on!

Kristin Cavallari has made it her mission to explain the truth behind the uber-successful reality show and she won't stop until her name is cleared!

While we were all made to believe that it was Kristin who was evil, she insists it was actually the producers who were villainous.

According the the former reality starlet, producers bribed her and her co-stars with pricey birkin bags in exchange for exaggerating Kristin's drug use for some added drama!

The new mama and suburbanite explained:

We thought Holly Madison had finally found her Prince Charming!

But is she pregnant with a criminal's kid??

Holly's bf and just-announced baby daddy Pasquale Rotella has been indicted for multiple charges in relation to his party promotion biz!

Pasquale is facing 29 counts of bribery, embezzlement, conspiracy, and conflict of interest for his alleged role in funneling over $2.5 million through El Lay raves!

If convicted across the board, Pasquale could be sentenced to nearly 14 years!

Holly's tiny baby bump will be playing JV soccer by the time it meets Daddy!

We hope Holly's prince is as innocent as he claims. He'll face court again September 25!

It was Doritos for the win - AGAIN!

Check out the HIGHlarious commercial for the snack featuring a Great Dane using some pretty clever means to cover up a feline's 'disappearance' (above)!

The commercial was made by Virginia Beach graphic designer Jonathan Friedman for only $20, and because it was voted first in USA Today's annual Super Bowl Ad Meter contest, won him $1 million!

He reveals:

"It's pretty incredible."

It certainly is! A true testament to how just a clever, cute idea can take on a life and momentum all its own - and with little to no money spent!

Teddy's favorite, by far! And apparently, he's not alone!

Wowsa! Rupert Murdoch's name is truly becoming synonymous with scandal!

Last year, we heard ALL ABOUT a large scale phone-hacking scandal, which resulted in a bunch of arrests of former employees of Murdoch's News of the World publication!

Earlier this week, Murdoch and his British newspaper company sent out 35 settlement checks, including a check for $200K to Jude Law, who had been kept under tight surveillance for quite some time.

Now, we've learned that

How the mighty have fallen.

Former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks is the sixth and highest-ranked person to be arrested over the weekend over her role in the paper's phone hacking scandal. She's been accused of charges of conspiracy and bribing police for information.

She began working at the paper in 2000.

Her stay behind bars didn't last long as she was released on bail early Monday morning London time and is set to return in October.

Seems like each one involved in the scandal is going down one by one. We hope they get what's due to them.

According to some, YES!

If you were surprised as us over Burlesque getting ANY recognition from the Golden Globes, not to mention a nod in the 'Best Picture' category, then you won't be surprised to hear that many are thinking that the HFPA members had a little, ahem, incentive to give the flick some accolades!

Patrick Goldstein, of the L.A. Times, explains:

"If you talk to the top award-season consultants, they can barely disguise their lack of respect for the HFPA members, who often put themselves in indelicate situations, as with this year's crew, which took a Sony-sponsored trip to Las Vegas to see Cher in concert, then gave her film a stunning best picture nod."

Wowza! Shady shady!

As much as we LOVE our Cher, we have to admit that this movie, as fun as it was, definitely seems a little out of place in the list of nominations!

But who knows?!

What do U think?? Should Burlesque be re-titled Bribe-lesque?

We don't know what's more sad and twisted - the fact that this is all going down or the fact that it's probably staged.

The publicity stunt to end all publicity stunts erupted on Friday when Spencer Pratt announced that he was shopping around a sex tape featuring the Real Heidi Doll (apparently footage includes pre and post surgery), and now that the douchebag has the world's attention, he's - shocker - relentlessly talking to the press about every detail!

Spencer claims that he's wanted to do porn since one of his many forays into failure, Princes of Malibu, ended in 2005, and has reportedly captured what he claims is an "entire website's" worth of footage that he's pitching to Vivid head Steven Hirsch for $5 million!

HOLY SHIZ!

He explains:

"When I realized how much Kim [Kardashian] was making, my logic is this is the best thing I can do for my ex-wife. Kim is on the cover of Allure right now. Heidi isn’t on the cover of Allure."

And he's even forced FrankenTittays into an ultimatum! After she met him at a Costa Rican hotel last Sunday under the impression that he was handing over her dogs, the psychotic famewhore allegedly told her that if she didn't ditch the divorce papers and do another reality show about their relationship, he would release these tapes!

He claims that Heidi is "freaking out because she doesn't want to do reality TV anymore" but "you cannot turn off the Speidi machine."

UGH. No, that's possibly the truest thing you've ever said, bb!

And believe us, we've TRIED!

All of this horse shit is so unbelievably staged that it makes us want to VOM at this point.

What do U think?? Would U lose your lunch if the Speidi sex tape saw the light of day??
