Victoria Gotti Headed To Foreclosure?
I heard about this story over a week ago and figured I would let it simmer a bit before I went off half cocked and wrote it up. Growing up in the NYC area, I heard some scary stories about the Gotti’s whacking people who they felt disrespected them.
Have you ever taken a look at those thugs that Victoria calls sons? What’s another murder rap for one of them?
Now, since the news is out I figure now is the time to write up the story about Victoria Gotti possibly facing foreclosure.
Victoria, daughter of John, has her Long Island mansion possibly facing foreclosure. The house is a five bedroom, five and one half bathroom home. The home is currently for sale for 3.2 million. She owes $650,000 on it. I can’t see how this would actually make it to foreclosure. But it is an interesting story all the same.
It would be nice to see this crew thrown out on the streets. We could only be so lucky.
Lenny Dykstra: ‘Stocks picks expert’ strikes out with possible foreclosure in California
The meteoric rise of Lenny Dykstra from gritty New York Mets outfielder in the 1980s to witty modern-day investment prognosticator appears to be crashing to Earth.
Does that really come as a big surprise?
It shouldn’t. After all, we’re talking about “Nails” here, folks. The proud tobacco-chewing member of the “Wild Boys” who was giftwrapped and forked over to the club’s biggest division rival, the Philadelphia Phillies, for next to nothing (Juan “Big Bust” Samuel) in 1989 during his heyday.
Perhaps Mets manager at the time, Davey Johnson, is smarter than we give him credit for — maybe he knew that Dykstra was a liability. The Mitchell Report might have something to do with it, too.
ANYWAY … “The Players Club” founder and car wash tycoon is in danger of losing hockey hero Wayne Gretzky’s old house at 1072 Newbern Ct. in Thousand Oaks, Calif., which he bought for $18.5 million, to foreclosure. In fact, the “uber successful” Dykstra has not made a single mortgage payment yet this year, which seems odd for someone who claims to be filthy rich:
“You know about my stock picking, dude? I’m 92-0 [last year], worst market in history. Three thousand people signed up and pay $1,000 … I’m making people fortunes. I’m moving $3-5 billion a month.”
There are epic stories of Dykstra bouncing checks “all over the place,” chartering private jet rides that he can’t afford with other people’s money (including his own mother’s) and defending a litany of lawsuits (18 since November 2008).
Denial just ain’t a river in Egypt, Lenny.
Buddy Lembeck is broke
Things have gone from bad to worse for “Teen Hunk” Willie Aames — also known as Buddy Lembeck from his stint on “Charles in Charge” back in the 80s — who was recently filmed selling what is left of his soul at a local garage sale in Kansas City. Mo., for the world to witness.
Associated Press has the latest chapter in his depressing life story:
” … Willie Aames is selling off his belongings in suburban Kansas City. Dozens showed up Thursday at a garage sale at his Olathe home, where Aames made deals with bargain-hunters and signed autographs. A production crew filmed the sale for a TV show. Aames has fallen upon hard times. He filed for bankruptcy last year and his home is in foreclosure. Items on sale included antiques, artwork, a piano, deer head mounts and TV and movie memorabilia.”
Aames was also reportedly interested in hocking whatever dignity he had left; however, it seems as if that was bartered to score a fix on VH1’s “Celebrity Fit Club 2.” He actually won an individual prize on the show for shedding 26 pounds, which he later ate for supper and washed down with Diet Coke. No ice.
Octomom Nadya Suleman house in California
So this is what crazy can buy these days — a 2,583-foot four-bedroom home in Orange County, Calif., for a cool $564,900.
That’s awesome news (again) for “Octomom” Nadya Suleman, considering that she was living off food stamps and government assistance not too long ago to help support her six children, which was before she went ahead and had eight more … at once.
Her family home in Whittier, Calif., that she shared with her mother/reluctant baby sitter, Angela, was recently the focus of a possible foreclosure suit. Grandma reportedly owed her lender $20,000 in arrears for late mortgage payments.
Grandpa appears to have come to the rescue this time around, footing the bill for the new digs, according to People.com. That’s just in time for the nursing team Dr. Phil was able to cobble together to care for the shrieking eight-baby band when it is finally cleared to leave the hospital.
It must be nice living off other people’s money … at least Nadya paid for the sperm donation.
To check out photos of the new Nadya Suleman home head over to the Orange County Register.
Michael Jordan divorce leads to thrifty Miami house purchase
It appears that the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan, is still looking to recover from the $168 million buzzer-beating divorce settlement from ex-wife Juanita in 2007, which went down as the costliest celebrity split of its kind … ever.
“His Airness” just made a modest $281,000 gamble on a three-bedroom home in suburban Miami. The very average 5,500 square foot Kendall residence is expected house the six-time NBA Finals MVP and his new squeeze, Cuban model Yvette Prieto.
According to Page2Live.com, the cheap happy couple actually took out a 30-year, $196,000-mortgage from Suntrust Mortgage to finance the blockbuster deal.
My, my, my … how the mighty have fallen.
Swoosh!
