Josh Brolin…looks like the studly actor – slated to appear onscreen this week in the much-anticipated "Gangster Squad" flick – didn’t quite make it to midnight to ring in the New Year this past week! Just shy of the witching hour, the Santa Monica police department spied Barbra Streisand’s drunk-as-a-skunk step-son on the street unable to make his way home to his Malibu digs alone. Normally, the cops don’t arrest a citizen for being intoxicated in public, but – in this instant case – they wisely hauled Brolin down to the slammer to “dry out”. Of course, TMZ was there to capture the humiliating scenario on film. Stay posted for updates.
Justin Bieber…the Pop cutie was spotted at an after-hours bash with a potent blunt in his hand the other day on the heels of a tragic accident (a fan was run-over by a motorist and died shortly after he snapped photos of the Bieb’s snazzy Ferrari parked roadside) which obviously left the chart-topper a touch rattled. No matter. Within minutes of the TMZ reveal, Justin was tweeting assurances to his followers that all was well. Personally, I’m of the opinion that the young heartthrob needs to be a little less obvious in the future (for good reason). Justin’s flashy sports cars tend to attract attention on the street, so he’s bound to be a target by the police in the future (especially now that they’re keen to the fact he has a tendency to Bogart a joint now-and-then). Surely the Bieb is keen to the fact that cops are known to peruse the gossip rags, too – if only to pass away an hour-or-two – while they’re chowing down on coffee and sprinkle doughnuts at Winchell’s. Don’t say I didn’t warn ‘ya, Justin!
Janis Joplin…while we’re on the subject of reefer madness, it’s a golden opportunity to mention that the Pasadena Playhouse is launching a stage project – "One Night With Janis Joplin" – that was previously well-received in Washington, Cleveland, and Portland (Oregon). The musical puts a big spotlight on the sad life and troubled times of the legendary rock vocalist who died tragically in a Motel room in Hollywood many moons ago. Stay posted for updates.
Glen Campbell…the country-western star – who popularized such tunes as "Galveston", "Wichita Lineman” and “By the Time I get to Phoenix” – just parted with his fabulous home in Malibu. The price tag was a hefty one ($4.45 million). The ritzy property boasts a theater, billiard room, four fireplaces, four bedrooms, 5.5 (?) bathrooms, and 6, 4540 square feet of luxury living space. The singer purchased the real estate in 2005 for the princely sum of $3.425 million. Tidy profit, eh?
And, how was your day?
