Days of our Lives is continuing to clean house and let go of some of the higher salaries to help keep the show alive. This time the money savers are Stephen Nichols aka Patch aka Steve and Mary Beth Evans aka Kayla according to Soap Opera Digest. Years ago this would really upset me, but since they are barely on the show, I won’t even know they are gone. 

They are the second major couple to get the axe, the first was John and Marlena. Now I wonder who will be next?

In these tough economic times, I know which bank to go to if I need money…The Bank of Diddy. Luckily for him all those financial execs who just had their salaries cut to $500,000 were at home crying and not at the NY Knicks game. Could you imagine what they would have done to him if they saw all that green in one hand?

BTW dang who carries that much cash around with them like that besides him? I wonder what or who he was buying with all the cash?

The director who is doing the new Karate Kid told OK! Magazine that the original and only Karate Kid Ralph Macchio will not be in his crappy remake.

“It’s not the kind of movie where he could do a cameo, but I think he’s a great actor,” Zwart told OK! on the red carpet of the Pink Panther 2 premiere in NYC on Feb. 3.Indeed, Zwart says there are going to be some significant changes in the new Karate Kid. “I think with Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan and us going to Beijing and shooting it, it’s already different enough,” he tells OK!. “I think it’s a great story that could easily be retold.”

So if it is a different enough, why are they are saying it is a remake of Karate Kid and not just a movie about a kid who does karate? Losers.

BTW all I have to say about the director is he directed Agent Cody Banks and Pink Panther 2…seriously doesn’t it say it all…like how sophmorish it is going to be! The only award this movie is going to Wax On is the Razzies and even they are better than this.

BTW Ralph Macchio it is their loss not yours.

I wonder if Dustin Hoffman is reading something about himself or he just can’t get over those pictures of Jessica Simpson in her highwaisted jeans?

For the longest time I thought that Dustin Hoffman was this arrogant guy, but then he did Jimmy Kimmel Live! and ever since then I think he is so adorable and likebale! And these pictures of an animated Dustin Hoffman playing with the paps like that confirms it!

Clay Aiken is going to guest Judge on The CW’s America’s Next Top Model according to Us Weekly.

A show rep confirms to Usmagazine.com that Aiken, 30, will be featured on the show’s April 8 episode, working with the aspiring models in an acting challenge. Later, Aiken will critique the contestants’ performances — along with regular judge and executive producer Tyra Banks — during the panel session when one model is eliminated. 

Um, he has done one Broadway show and he is an expert in acting, how? I love Clay Aiken as much as the next Claymate, but this seems like a bad fit and sad move on his part.

WTF was GSN thinking by giving Carnie Wilson the hosting job for their updated version of The Newlywed Game? But according toKCBS that’s is what they did. Seriously was there no else out there who was more qualified? I just don’t get it. The only thing Carnie ever does is talk about her weight and that has what to do with newlywed couples? That her personality just annoys me for some reason. Game Show host are suppose to be likeable and there is just something about her that isn’t just that.

The show went from my might check outto I am not going to watch it on April 6th.

Nia Vardalos had dinner with John Stamos and Bette Midler which makes me wonder if the trio are doing a movie tongether and that is why they broke bread? I mean John Stamos and Better Midler seem like such an odd pairing. But how hot would it be if they did a movie together where she was a Jewish-Mother Cougar dating a sexy Greek Stallion Cub played by Stamos!!! They could be so cute together, just look how sweet they look in those pictures.

First Neil Strauss wanted to help average Joes get lucky. Now he wants to help save their lives.

The author of the best-selling pickup-artist book “The Game” is set to release “Emergency,” an eye-opening look at how to survive the increasing global risks of terrorism and natural disasters.

Included are tales of learning to kill and butcher a goat, fly planes, deliver babies, evade hunters and obtain a legal second citizenship. And while Britney Spears may never help save anyone’s life, the “Circus” singer does make a hefty contribution to the tome.

“When I wrote ‘The Game,’ I included a story of how I picked up Britney during an interview,” Strauss told us of his former days as a journalist for Rolling Stone and The New York Times. “Right after the book came out, Britney called me and asked to meet.”

Jaunting to then-pregnant Spears’ Malibu home, Strauss was met by the pop star holding a crumpled-up sheet of paper. On it, she’d written “notes from her life, about cheating on Justin Timberlake, about resenting her parents’ control and about sexually acting out.

“She wanted me to write her life story,” Strauss scribes in “Emergency,” out March 1 from HarperCollins. “I knew the book would be incredible.”

But when her point people began warring over control, Strauss removed himself from the situation and refocused on his task at hand: living.

“Our generation had a wakeup call from events like 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and even our current economic catastrophe,” Strauss says. “We were born in the ’80s and ’90s … when we felt safe and all we wanted to do was be famous and make a lot of money.

“Now, if something awful happens, you’re on your own. The government is dealing with bigger problems, and the National Response Plan is so slow that people will lose their lives unless they move quick and on their own.”

Strauss, who believes “something horrible will again happen in our lifetime,” has some recommendations for New Yorkers in the event of disaster.

“I would have a used, beat-up van parked near a river, and I’ve have an inflatable dinghy on that. I’d be on the water in a heartbeat, because there’s no way you’re driving off [Manhattan]. Traffic is already ridiculous without a disaster,” the former New Yorker laughed.

Strauss noted that, after giving tips on goat slaughtering, “I now have pet goats at home. I even learned how to deliver goat babies. I’m trying to restore my balance with goat karma”
