Jesse James, the husband of Oscar winner Sandra Bullock, who is accused of cheating on her with multiple affairs during their five-year marriage, has been offered half a million dollars to pose for Playboy E! Online reports.
“We’ll offer him $500,000 to pose in a Coney Island freak show setting,” Playgirl rep Daniel Nardicio confirmed. “We’d do a whole circus-themed freak show, with tattooed men and sword swallowers!”
James, 40, is just one of a number if high-profile names to be approached by the magazine recently.
Following a bottom-revealing photo shoot of Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin’s grandson, reality show star Jon Gosselin was recently given an invitation to pose in his birthday suit for $20,000.
Bullock and James’ relationship was shattered last week when In Touch magazine featured an interview with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, a tattooed model who claimed to have an 11-month affair with James. Since then two other women have claimed affairs with James as well.
Bullock, 45, has remained in seclusion since the affair allegations were made public.
PETA has come to the rescue of Octomom Nadya Suleman.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has offered to give cash-strapped Suleman financial help if she’ll let the group place an ad on her front lawn, a representative for the organization tells the New York Daily News.
The sign, which calls for curbing the pet population, reads, “Don’t let your dog or cat become an ‘octomom’: Always spay or neuter. PETA.”
Lawyers for the single mother of 14 reportedly sent a letter to the attorney for Amer Haddadin, the man who sold her dad the house and holds the note.
According to TMZ Suleman’s father was required to pay $450,000 in mortgage payments, as well as $4,139 in monthly dues, to Haddadin by the end of the business day on Tuesday. If the fees were not paid, Octomom and her brood faced foreclosure.
Unable to make the deadline, her dad reportedly promised Haddadin to be more responsible in regards to finances.
“I am currently still in negotiations with counsel for Amer Haddadin in an effort to obtain more time to refinance the balloon note,” Suleman’s lawyer Jeff Czech told the Daily News.
Suleman, 34, and her father are reportedly will pay the March payment, as well as make additional payments over the next few months, provided that they can keep the house.
Haddadin’s attorney told TMZ his client has since accepted the proposal and is willing to work with her, saying, “I’m not out to hang the Octomom.”
While celebrities’ marriages seem to be imploding all around, Sarah Silverman says you won’t see her marriage fall apart.
The comic told Playboy, “I’m not against marriage, but it’s just not for me.
“I’m a vegetarian, but I don’t have a problem if you want a hamburger. Marriage to me is like eating meat. I think it’s gross and (bleep)ing crazy.”
Because gays and lesbians can’t get married in most states, Silverman said, “If you’re getting married today, it’s the equivalent of joining a country club that doesn’t allow blacks or Jews.”
Prince looks like a pauper in a list of delinquent taxpayers in Minnesota.
Carver County tax records show the musician’s PRN Music Corp.
owes more than $227,000 for 2009 taxes to the state and other government bodies. The county is southwest of Minneapolis.
PRN Music houses Prince’s Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen.
County records list several other properties under his full name, Prince R. Nelson, as delinquent.
County taxpayer services manager Laurie Engelen estimates PRN Music and Prince’s other properties owe about $450,000 in taxes.
PRN and Prince’s studios don’t have listed phone numbers. A talent agency that has represented Prince didn’t immediately respond to e-mail seeking comment.
The delinquency list was published last week in the Chaska Herald.
