Heidi Montag’s mom heads to foreclosure in Colorado
While Heidi Montag is busy spending gobs of cash on plastic surgery, her mother, Darlene Egelhoff, is on the verge of losing her Colorado home to foreclosure, according to TMZ.com.
Egelhoff — whose maternal genes apparently didn’t sit well with “The Hills” starlet — owes $187,385.62 for a loan she took out back in 2006.
It’s unfortunate because Heidi’s mother (based loosely on watching the MTV “reality” show a handful of times against our will) seems to be the only sane one in the family.
That apparently isn’t worth much.
It’s not a stretch to think that perhaps Darlene just gave up completely, sick of Heidi’s complete obsession with restructuring her body and mind-boggling devotion to on-and-off-again boyfriend, manager and total dweeb, Spencer Pratt.
Pratt, alone, would make just about anyone want to “walk away.”
La Toya Jackson Losing Home
When it’s news from the Jackson family these days, it’s usually not good.
Michael Jackson’s older sister, La Toya, is about to lose her luxurious condo in Las Vegas, Nevada. The property is located in the Regency Towers of Las Vegas International Country Club. She reportedly owes $745,670.27 on a home she paid $260,000 for back in 1996, according to TMZ.
Yep, she tripled her money on the refinance and is now heading for the hills — she apparently had all her personal effects packed up and shipped elsewhere last month.
No wonder we’re in the midst of an epic financial crisis.
Anyway, La Toya has to come up with the cash by the end of the month or she’s going to lose this Las Vegas hot spot. Don’t hold your breath.
The Clark County Recorder’s office has a scheduled auction date for the condo on September 30. We may see more of this after Michael Jackson has died since the money has officially run out. He was a big part of why the family had so much money in the first place.
Debbie Gibson home in LA avoids foreclosure; Plastic surgeons rejoice
Honk honk!
Debbie Gibson and her sweet surgically-maintained 39-year-old body have dodged the dreaded foreclosure bullet.
Big Time Listings reports that the 1980s-era pop tart unloaded her 1,733-square-foot lemon in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills — located at 1522 Forest Knoll Drive — for $900,000 in a short sale transaction.
That’s $375,000 less than what she paid for the quaint two-bedroom love shack back in 2005.
The good news is that the bank gets stuck with the loss, ensuring Gibson is able to keep spending freely on silicone, suction and such to keep her electric youth and doesn’t get lost in your eyes.
Only in my dreams could I imagine that anything is possible like this. I’m losin’ myself at the thought … what a foolish beat.
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.
