Happy Wednesday Kiddies and away I go.
Natasha Richardson’s family donated the organs of the beloved British-born actress following her death last week, a source told People magazine. The film and stage star died in a New York hospital last Wednesday at the age of 45 following a skiing accident in which she sustained a fatal head injury. People.com said Richardson’s family requested that after she was removed from life support her organs be given to patients who need them. The Web site quoted a source close to the family as saying organ donation “is very Natasha.” “She spent so much time fighting the stigma of AIDS; someone like that would naturally donate her organs. At least by donating her organs something good could come out of this tragedy the friend said. Wow, look at her stepping up. Is it bad that nothing is checked on the back of my drivers license? I am not donating anything…I harvested all my own organs…Ha Organs.
Denise Richards and her professional dance partner became the second couple booted off of this season’s Dancing with the Stars in Los Angeles. Richards and Maksim Chmerkovskiy learned their fate Tuesday night. Their fellow competitors, the injured Steve-O and Steve Wozniak, earned the lowest scores from the judges after dancing Monday night but support from their fans kept them in the competition. “I had fun! When else am I going to get to dress up like this, work with someone like Maks and be able to do a family show that my daughters can watch together?” Richards — an actress, reality television personality and mother of two young daughters — told People magazine after the live results show Tuesday night. See, from what I heard, she was a total diva hose beast backstage. Good Riddance.
Miss Britney Spears’s divorce from ex-husband Kevin Federline has cost her a staggering $460,000 in legal fees. Court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday by Spears’ attorneys indicate the singer has been forced to pay more than $2.7 million to her lawyers over the last 11 months, including the cost of her divorce and custody battle which ended her two-and-a-half year marriage to Federline. She has also had to part with $113,000 to fight a civil suit against a former manager in a Florida court as well as another $26,000 for a traffic case stemming from August 2007, when she was caught driving without a valid license. Spears paid an additional $4,600 to hire a private messenger to deliver confidential legal documents as well as another $25 to book a private courthouse to keep the legal proceedings out of the media spotlight . Spears previously paid $374,000 to cover Federline’s legal fees, which were not included in the accounts. Eh, I would take about 50 bucks to marry her, just to slip it inside her, if you know what I am talking about.
Rihanna is determined to give herself a fresh start following her alleged fight with boyfriend Chris Brown last month – the singer has been spotted house hunting in Los Angeles. The “Kiss Kiss” hitmaker has been accused of assaulting Rihanna during the February 8 incident, which left the Umbrella star beaten and bruised. Rihanna slipped away from the spotlight following the spat, spending time in her native Barbados, a holiday resort in Mexico and Puffy’s Florida home before returning to work in L.A. And now the star is reportedly looking to buy a new home in the city after she was spotted embarking on a house hunting tour of properties in the Hollywood Hills on Monday afternoon. Rihanna viewed three houses including a $6.25 million home, once owned by Jerry Seinfeld and boasting three bedrooms, five bathrooms, pool and a hot tub, according to Usmagazine.com. Good. The further away you can get from Chris Brown, the better.
Isaiah Washington may be getting kicked to the curb. The actor and his wife, Jenisa, are allegedly $100,000 behind on rent for their Los Angeles home and may be facing eviction, according to court documents filed Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif. The posh home sits amid the picturesque canals near Venice Beach. Around April 2008, the former Grey’s Anatomy star, 45, allegedly agreed in writing to pay $20,000 monthly in rent, with an option to buy the home, but then neglected to pay for the past five months, the documents say. On March 19, a notice was posted on the property informing the Washingtons they had three days to pay up or move out. It’s unclear whether or not they vacated the premises. See that’s what gay-haters get. Serves him right.

And finally, this might be a wedding that I want to get invited to. Besides the bride, the groom and the officiate, what’s the most important thing at a wedding? When it’s the wedding of Observe and Report star Anna Faris, it’s the Margaritas. “We’re thinking something really sort of low key for sure,” Faris, 32, tells PEOPLE about her wedding plans, joking that it might be Mexican-themed. “Something that involves a lot of Margaritas, maybe!” The bride-to-be, who in January confirmed her engagement to Bride Wars star Chris Pratt, 29, says the planning’s “going slowly” but that she doesn’t want a lot of hubbub, anyway. “A lot of alcohol and no drama! No fuss, that’s the most important thing. Warm would be great,” she says. “I just get to play and get my hair and make-up done in my professional life, so I don’t really know if I want that fuss for my wedding. I want simple.” Damn, if only she has the Margarita Man there.
