Larry King’s wife: Possible suicide attempt

June 10, 2010

They may have put their divorce on hold, but all is not well in the household of Larry King and his wife, Shawn. The blond beauty, who briefly split from her CNN talk-show host husband earlier this year (reportedly because of their mutual infidelities), overdosed on prescription medication in her Provo, Utah home on May 28 – and police believe it wasn’t an accident. According to E! News, the Provo Police Department crime report deemed the incident an “attempted suicide” after they discovered several empty pill bottles by Shawn’s bed, in addition to a suicide note. “Wording on the letter led me to believe that [she] had intentionally taken the quantity of pills,” the report read. Shawn’s father, Karl Engemann, told the responding officers that she had been prescribed anxiety and depression medication. Shawn and Larry have been married nearly 13 years and have two children together. Shawn’s lover, Hector Penate, recently told In Touch that Larry is in love with Shawn’s sister, which has “torn their family apart,” and Shawn retaliated by having an affair of her own.

Abby Sunderland Feared Lost at Sea, Rescue Efforts Underway


Authorities have begun a search for Abby Sunderland.

The 16-year old is attempting to sail around the world on her own, but her parents lost contact with her this morning, soon before the teenager set off a distress signal. She’s believed to be in the southern part of the Indian Ocean.

“Everything seemed to be under control,” father Laurence Sunderland told The Los Angeles Times. “But then our call dropped and a hour later the coast guard called.”

A rescue effort, coordinated by the French-controlled Reunion Islands and Australia, is underway. However, Sunderland is likely hundreds of miles away from land and there’s concern over how long it would take a boat to reach her.

Said family spokesman Christian Pinkston: “We’ve got to get a plane out there quick… They are exhausting every resource to try to mobilize an air rescue including discussions with the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Coast Guard and various international rescue organizations.”

Meanwhile, Abby’s parents have updated their blog with this statement:

Abby has all of the equipment on board to survive a crisis situation like this. She has a dry suit, survival suit, life raft, and ditch bag with emergency supplies. If she can keep warm and hang on, help will be there as soon as possible. Wild Eyes is designed for travel in the Southern Ocean and is equipped with 5 air-tight bulkheads to keep her buoyant in the event of major hull damage. It is built to Category 0 standards and is designed to self-right in the event of capsize.

Thank you for all of your kind emails and calls. We appreciate your prayers and support.

Let’s all hope Abby Sunderland is found alive and well.

Jesse faces a jury

Jesse_James0610.jpg

Jesse James was in court for the selection of a jury of his peers yesterday — the West Coast Choppers CEO is fighting a lawsuit with Fortune Fashions Industries over a clothing line deal gone wrong — and they reportedly spoke their mind about the man who broke Sandra Bullock‘s heart. After one prospective juror made it clear that cheaters aren’t cool, another noted that he’s a Christian and believes in forgiveness. Luckily for Jesse, who has been called the “most hated man in the world,” the judge ruled that the shamed former reality star’s character cannot be a factor in the trial. In Touch broke the shocking news that Sandra’s husband was having an affair with tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, leading the actress to file for divorce.

Heidi Montag: Crashing With Cougar Zank?


She says she’s legally separating from her husband, but is Heidi Montag really just putting us on and crashing with Cougar Zank, Spencer Pratt’s good friend?

More importantly, is Cougar Zank his real name? If so, that’s hilarious!

According to Radar Online, Heidi is currently staying at the Malibu home of this strangely-named individual, a former Marine-turned-bodyguard and bit actor.

He befriended Pratt earlier this year, lived in the house rented by Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt in Pacific Palisades, Calif., and was even seen on The Hills.

“He is helping me write a script,” Spencer told Life & Style recently.

So what’s Heidi (allegedly) doing staying with this dude right now?

Cougar Zank Picture?Creepy Montag

This is Cougar Zank. We think. We’re not sure. It just came up on an image search. If it’s not, sorry … but either way, we’re jealous of the dude’s dashing good looks.

Heidi Montag and Jen Bunney, another former Hills regular, have announced plans for a new project. “It’s going to be the best summer of my life!” Heidi Tweeted.

When contacted by the celebrity gossip site at the new pad Heidi and the Bunney moved into, and asked what he was doing there, Cougar Zank responded:

“This is MY house.”

So are all these events – Heidi leaving Spencer, moving in with Bunney, signing a lease (possibly the smoking gun) and filing for legal separation – a sham?

For what it’s worth, the most recent photos of Spencer Pratt was of him jogging on a trail not far from this very same Malibu house. Makes you wonder.

Heidi and Spencer’s separation is …

Danielle Staub Challenges Kendra Wilkinson to a Sex Tape-Off!


It’s safe to say that Danielle Staub is taking a different approach to the release of her sex tape than Kendra Wilkinson.

While the latter is faking tears and making excuses for the existence of Kendra Exposed, the Real Housewife of New Jersey doesn’t seem too bothered by Huster’s plans to unleash Danielle Staub Raw onto the world on June 14.

Granted, Staub hilariously told TMZ this week that her sex tape was “stolen,” but she didn’t spend very long justifying that obvious lie. She simply said:

“I just decided, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. What am I left to do? This isn’t something I chose to have released, but it’s out there, and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

It’s unclear, of course, who Danielle actually wants to beat. Kim Kardashian? Paris Hilton? Shauna Sand? Let’s hope the 47-year old’s two children set their sights a bit higher than that.

New Sex Tape Star

Adding that she doesn’t care what her reality star castmates say about her and her videotaped, naked romp, Staub essentially challenged Kendra to see who could sell more copies.

“I haven’t seen hers. I haven’t seen mine, either, but… if it’s going to do anything, I would hope it does better.”

Let’s find out from our readers: Which sex tape star would you rather watch in hot, sweaty, nude action?

Susan Boyle to Perform for The Pope?!?


Just how much has the life of Susan Boyle changed over the last year? Consider this rumor:

There’s a good chance the Britain’s Got Talent runner-up will perform for Pope Benedict XVI when he visits England in September, TV Guide reports.

Negotiations are underway, though some believe this might not take place simply because the Pope could get arrested once he touches down in another country, due to his alleged child molestation cover-up. But that seems unlikely to take place.

SuBo Photograph

Assuming he’s a free man, Benedict XVI will hold Mass at Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park on September 16. If all goes according to plan, Boyle will take the stage then, in front of her most important audience member to date.

No offense, Simon Cowell. But come on.

Christina Aguilera: No Pants? No Problem!


Christina Aguilera has been shopping in Miley Cyrus’ closet.

The singer appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman yesterday, and there was nary a pair of pants in sight.

Instead, Christina honored her former Mickey Mouse Club castmate and pulled a Britney on viewers. Photographers spotted her outside the Letterman studio, trying to avoid the rain and, based on this outfit, the cold…

Going with TightsPants, Schmants!

Lindsay Lohan: The Next Celebrity Apprentice?


Might Lindsay Lohan be the next Celebrity Apprentice?

Celebrity Rehab might be a better fit, but Donald Trump is supposedly angling for the train wreck to star on the former, which is somehow still on the air.

“Donald approached Lindsay about being on Celebrity Apprentice, so we’ll see where it goes,” Lohan’s mom Dina said. “I think it’s a great idea for her.”

“But Lindsay has two movies coming up [Machete and Inferno], so I actually don’t know if Lindsay has the time. It may conflict with her schedule.”

Know what else could conflict with it? Legal problems.

Because of her court-ordered alcohol-monitoring bracelet on her ankle, “She can’t leave L.A., the judge won’t even let Lindsay go to Texas,” Dina laments.

Out on BailDonald, The

YOU’RE HIGHER: Hopefully The Donald doesn’t conduct random drug tests.

Lindsay Lohan would be biggest mess in the history of the reality show, although she’d also be a ratings draw – since people hate her so much, supposedly.

As such, Dina insists that Lindsay is slated to discuss the possibility of appearing on Celebrity Apprentice with Trump this week if schedules and legalities permit.

Dina adds that the business mogul approached Lindsay because of his relationship with the Lohans (something most businesspeople would never openly admit to).

“He’s a very good friend of the family and he’s had our back for years,” the troubled actress’ mom says. “He’s a great dad, and he would do anything to help us.”

If not Celebrity Apprentice, Lindsay Lohan belongs in …

Courtney Love: Nude, Disturbing on Facebook


Courtney Love. Facebook. The mere fact that these things exist means bizarre stuff is always within reach, but we didn’t expect her to take it this far.

But Courtney Love nude pictures in weird fetish poses, uploaded by herself?

Not stuff we were hoping we would come across when we woke up today. In one pic, transsexual diva Amanda Lepore prepares to give naked Love a spanking.

In another shot, Love’s in a short black skirt with her crotch exposed. In a third, Courtney’s just lying on the floor of a deserted warehouse naked, obviously.

Follow the jump to see the Courtney Love nude shots if you dare. SIDE NOTE: Become a fan of THG on Facebook. Fetish pics not included … or are they?!

Honestly, who needs to see this? Unless you’re on a friend’s computer, and can make one his wallpaper, then that’s great. But aside from that … gross.

Bethenny Frankel Previews Own Reality Show


Bravo is asking viewers to go back in time.

See, Bethenny Frankel is already married. Moreover, she’s already given birth to a daughter. But that isn’t stopping Bravo from thinking viewers will have an interest in watching how this all came aboard, as Bethenny Getting Married premieres tonight.

Sadly, the network is probably correct.

So, what will this spin-off be about? Frankel tells E! News one thing for certain: it will NOT feature any Real Housewives of New York City:

“It’s not my life anymore. It’s not a cliché when I say I don’t believe in staying at a party too long… This is a time I really want people who are good for me, good for my family. I want clean energy and everyone to be happy.”

In Her Gown

Cameras will actually follow Bethenny into therapy, something she says was her idea.

“I need therapy [but normally] I don’t have time to go. To be able to have therapy once a week [for the show], I run there. I don’t even notice the cameras. It’s a true depiction of my life, [and] I’ve learned a lot.”

Wait – what?!? Bethenny needs psychiatric help… but doesn’t have time to go unless it’s for a show… and this is a true depiction of her life?!? That might be the least logical statement we’ve ever heard (and we’ve listened to Tila Tequila speak!).

In closing, Bethenny wants everyone to understand her better and says:

“I could have a C-section and not be on any pain medication, but if you give me too small a portion at the ice cream store I have a nervous breakdown. That’s the kind of person I am.”

And this is the kind of person people want to watch?
