What happens when stars file bankruptcy? Seriously?

I was just thinking about that today, with all of the housing mess, what happens when someone famous can’t pay their bills? Do they hold an auction, and get rid of all the stuff normal people would never need? Do they sell their cars and their hot tubs to help pay the bills?

How come we never hear about this in the media unless it’s Michael Jackson facing bankruptcy? Does it just not happen?

I for one, love Winona Ryder, but I don’t think J.J. Abrams needs to be messing with Trek history either.

For Winona Ryder, it’s a fine line between pixie-like and Vulcanesque.

The actress has become the latest boldface name attached to J.J. Abrams’ highly anticipated reboot of the Star Trek franchise, signing on to star as mother to a young Spock.

…

Variety reports the erstwhile Heathers star will play the Vulcan mother of the Starfleet logician, sending Trekkers into a tizzy. Abrams is messing with a key element of the Star Trek canon: In all previous installments of the franchise, Spock’s mother was human, not Vulcan (the pointy ears come courtesy of his father’s side of the family).

“I’m not a Winona hater…but Spock’s mom isn’t Vulcan, isn’t brunette, and isn’t the type that Winona is good at,” a user going by the name Toroth’s 1st Officer posted in response to the announcement on a thread entitled “What the F—!” on TrekWeb.com.

You would think that spending some time in drug rehabilitation would make ones sense of what’s right and wrong a little more clear.

It seems Lindsay Lohan hasn’t reached that point yet.

I really hope she keeps her nose clean this time, literally.

She sure has been doing a lot of shopping for someone who hasn’t really worked in a long time.

Whats up with that?

Even though this is the best she has looked in a long time, if this was Tuesday I would have to make her the train wreck of the week.

What is it with the long scarf anyway?

Isn’t this like the 200th photo of her with one since she left rehab?

While we’re on the subject of homes, what about bedrooms.

What do you think some celebrity bedrooms look like? Do they conservative, contemporary, or modern platform beds?

Think about it.

What does Paris Hilton’s bedroom look like? Is it cleaner that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’? How many times has Pamela Anderson replaced her bedding?

I know, I am weird, but these are things I think about at 3am.

With the real estate crunch happening all over the country, I can’t help but wonder how long it will be until we see a lot of the celebrity homes up on the market? Yeah, sure, they’re rich, but I’m sure they don’t pay cash when they buy their homes.

Those would make some interesting garage sales, that’s for sure. It will be interesting to see what happens, don’t you think?
