Michael Jackson’s dad, Joe, says that he needs an allowance from his late son’s estate. The reason is that he has expenses that go over $15,000 per month. The thing is that MJ’s will did not include his dad. For now, the court will hear the petition, but not on an expedited manner. I guess daddy has to wait.

You cannot look back at the ’80s without talking about The Karate Kid. Ralph Macchio’s boyish charm and martial arts know-how captured the hearts of kids and grown-ups for two sequels.

Although he had a promising career as an actor, movie audiences would strongly identify Macchio with his Karate Kid role, Daniel LaRusso a.k.a Daniel-san. Years after his famous Karate flick, he had a difficult time landing challenging and serious film roles. He did hold his own in My Cousin Vinny in 1992 with Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei, but eventually faded into oblivion.

Other than a memorable cameo in The Entourage in 2005 plus small TV and movie roles, Macchio didn’t have any luck getting back into the limelight. He then focused on projects as a producer, director and writer. This year he’s giving his showbiz career a boost—this time as a reality show star.

The now 48-year-old is in talks with an unnamed network to do a reality show about his family. He’s been married to wife Phyllis Fiero for 22 years and they have two teenage kids, Daniel and Julia. And no, they are not trying to pull a Keeping Up With The Kardashians or The Osbournes.

“I’ve been in discussions about unscripted ideas before. As far as having an argument over French toast in the morning and what kind of dog we (my family) should get, I think there are smarter ideas and I’m investigating those,� he said.

It’s probably none of our business, but hey, that picture just doesn’t look right. Suri is three, and she’s still bottle-feeding! According to their doctor, the Cruises should wean her off the bottle NOW. Let me see…how old was I when I stopped that?

So he is a vain person. Who cares? He looks great; he knows it, and he doesn’t care that everyone else knows it as well. Alec Baldwin was recently featured in Entertainment Weekly, and he talked about his body in an offhanded manner. He also talked about the possibility of getting cosmetic enhancements. I say go for it!

To say that her dad’s a loser apparently not enough for Lindsay Lohan. Now, she is giving her dad a dose of his own medicine. Using Twitter, she is dissing daddy: “He’s a deadbeat dad. He’s disgusting to do this he needs help.” She also says that he threatened to kill her mom. What a whacked out family!

Remember my post about Rihanna breaking her silence on Chris Brown and their relationship? Let me correct myself – the interview will air today on Good Morning America and tomorrow on 20/20. Anyhow, a sneak peek: she said that he was her first big love, but that they were dangerous for each other. Oh, the complications of love!

Ouch. I believe there are things a child should never say to or about a parent, but I guess Lindsay and her dad have a different relationship. She just tweeted that her dad’s such a loser – a comeback for his releasing private information about a conversation they had a while back.

Everyone has secrets – and celebrities more so. In the newest issue of GQ, you can take a peek into Nicole Kidman’s head as she shares tidbits about her life. Also, she says this is the last time she would say anything about her life with ex-husband Tom Cruise. I say she’s much better off now, anyway.

The picture says it all. TMZ got this shot of Hugh Jackman as he was taking a stroll in the park with wife and daughter. I seriously don’t know what he was doing. I wonder what he has got to say about this?

Reese Witherspoon is acting like a model citizen and offering her services to the cops as a witness. Yesterday, she witnessed an altercation between pappers who were trying to get a good shot of her. She says that she’ll help the police if needed. Good on her!

Carrie Prejean and the people behind Miss USA never really got along, did they? One of the major tiffs they have been having is about the beauty queen’s boob job, which the pageant organizers wanted her to pay back. The saga has ended, though, and Miss USA has released a statement to the effect that Prejean will not have to reimburse them for it. End of story.

In several months, it will have been a year since Chris Brown beat up Rihanna, and it is only now that the female singer will be breaking her silence about the whole thing. In the meanwhile, Chris Brown has been sentenced to community service, Rihanna has been churning out hits. Tune in to Good Morning America this Friday to hear what she has to say!

I love what she said about tatts and Bentleys! Apparently, sister Kim has been kidding her about her ink and said that you don’t “put bumper stickers on a Bentley.” To that, Khloe replied, “I guess I am not a Bentley!”

She has several tattoos, most of them she is proud of. She does regret, however, her “tramp stamp” on her lower back. She says the location could have been better. I’m still stuck on the Bentley comeback.

Not too long ago, we heard that Gisele Bundchen was taking lessons to get her flying license. Well, it seems that all her hard work has paid off – she has finally passed her written exam. She is almost ready to give birth but this hasn’t stopped her. She still needs to complete her flight hours, but that should be a piece of cake!

Good news to those of you who have been yearning after Adam Lambert: he is now single! The bad news? I don’t think he his available. He did break up with his partner, Drake LaBry, but the reason is not because they don’t want to be with each other anymore. It’s simply because of Adam’s crazy schedule that comes with his career. Sources say they’re friends and that there was little drama behind the split.

The teens and tweens of America have cast their verdict: Miley Cyrus – Hannah Montana – is the worst celebrity influence of the year 2009. It is quite surprising that this age group voted this way, isn’t it?
