Martin Lawrence’s family and friends are worried over his recent string of bad luck.

Here’s what the National Enquirer reports:

The onetime sitcom and movie star is shattered that his career has all but ground to a halt and devastated that his marriage to Shamicka Lawrence, the mother of his two children, has crashed and burned, say sources.

Lawrence, 47, filed for divorce on April 25, and just two weeks later, CBS shot down the new sitcom he was developing.

A pal says Lawrence was rocked by the rejection and reduced to a “Zombie-like state of mind.”

“He said something like, ‘My career and life are over, and I have nothing to live for.’ We’re worried he may do something stupid. Martin is embarrassed, hurt and angry that nobody wants him anymore.”

Lawrence was once one of the top comic actors around. Besides his smash sitcom Martin, which ran from 1992 to 1997, he also starred in several big-screen hits including the Bad Boys and Big Momma series.

Long-time Saturday Night Live castmember Andy Samberg is leaving the show.

He told The New York Times, that he will not return when the show airs in September.

“Obviously it’s not a huge shock, but I did officially decide not to come back,” he told the newspaper.

He sought advice from former SNL star Kristen Wiig who also departed the show this year.

“She kept saying it just feels like it’s her time,” he shared. “I connect with that. Something about it just feels like it’s the moment. My contract’s up and I did so much more than I ever thought I would ever even do.”

Samberg joined the show in 2005.

His new film That’s My Boy stars Adam Sandler, Leighton Meester, and releases June 15.

Here’s one of our fav SNL skits where Andy plays Nic Cage:

Savages director Oliver Stone & the film’s star Taylor Kitsch are both featured in the Summer 2012 issue of Los Angeles Confidential.

In the issue the duo talk Savages and Stone’s directing:

TAYLOR KITSCH: “I keep saying how unapologetic this film is, and I think that’s his M.O. I respect him for that, that he’s never changed his process through his whole career. I think that’s a very, very rare thing—a very rare find, especially nowadays. Through my eyes, he does it for the love of the work and he doesn’t do it to succumb or for validation from people outside. I love that because I see quite the opposite happening in my experiences.

OLIVE STONE: “I’ve always been drawn to the gangster and the criminal element. It’s taking an important subject to me, which is drug legalization, but treating it not like a documentary—[and instead] having fun with it. We’re showing how the system was spoiled, because everyone in the film—except for the young people in it—is corrupt. It’s a hypothetical, but it could happen.”

Savages releases July 6.

Kelly Rowland is featured in the Summer 2012 issue of Vegas Magazine.

In the issue Kelly talks her new album that is in the works:

“I’m making this album for my ladies, oh, yes, and it is strong. All of the producers I’ve been working with get the concept so much that they brought in a little more aggressive—and sometimes masculine—approach, but there is a really incredible top line: I want to tell women how incredible we are, how our intuition is so spot-on. Sometimes we don’t listen to it, but it is the thing that can actually make us happier.”

She talks performing in Vegas back when she was 18:

“There was just an energy of being there, and I remember thinking, I can’t wait till I’m older! The whole atmosphere was really fun.”

She also talks her days with Destiny’s Child:

“For people to call us one of the greatest female groups of all time—are you kidding me? Beyoncé and Michelle are two incredible women and deeper than what the public sees. Destiny’s Child, to me, was a sisterhood and a kinship that the three of us shared. You want people to respect that you have your own identity as an artist, but they also remember how they met you.”

In the issue Cate talks bringing the production of Uncle Vanya to the Lincoln Center Festival:

“There are so many different types of audiences in New York, and we are very excited to be there in a festival context because it generates a way of looking for an audience that’s very different than if we were doing a four-month run. There is a special, “see it now or you miss it” feeling that we are all very excited by.”

Brandon Jenner and Leah Felder married May 31 in Kauai, Hawaii in front of family and friends.

According to Daily Mail UK, Felder is the daughter of former Eagles guitarist Don Felder.

Here come's the bride: Bruce Jenner's son Brandon married Leah Felder

Kendall and Kylie were bridesmaids at their half-brother’s wedding. Guests included Brandon’s mom Linda Thompson, his brother Brody, dad Bruce, stepmom Kris and former step-dad David Foster.

Wedding belles: Kendal and Kylie Jenner were bridesmaids at their half-brother Brandon's wedding in Kauai, Hawaii. Stepmother Kris also attended

But Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian did not attend the wedding. A source told Radar Online, “There is no animosity, but the Kardashian girls just aren’t super close to the Jenner boys.” But that doesn’t make any sense since Brandon was recently featured on Keeping Up with the Kardashians!

Here’s what Daily Mail reports:

Kim kept her well wishes simple, by tweeting to her 14,822,171 followers: ‘Congratulations to my step brother and his gorgeous new wife!’

Meanwhile, Khloé wrote on her blog:”I just wanted to send a HUGE congratulations and so much love to my brother Brandon and his fiancé/soon-to-be wife Leah. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world!’

Kourtney added on her blog: “I want to wish a huge congratulations to my step brother Brandon and his stunning fiance Leah who are marrying today. Sending my love to you both.”

Congrats!

Which NBA star has an ATM machine in their kitchen?

NBA star DeShawn Stevenson has a ATM machine in his kitchen–but he’s not the first celeb who thought of the idea!

MTV star Rob Dyrdek put an ATM in his home back on his first show Rob & Big.

Stevenson told TMZ that he got the idea from Dyrdek.

Here’s what TMZ reports:

We’re told he paid $3,500 for the machine and lets his rich NBA friends use it for last-minute cash withdrawals before they go out.

But the service ain’t free — DeShawn says he charges his pals a steep $4.50 ATM fee. DeShawn says the machine holds $20,000 and he refills it 4-6 times a year.

Here’s a video of Rob and BFF Christopher “Big Black” Boykin installing the ATM (warning: there’s some cursing!)

Former child star talks being broke and homeless: “It’s been very tough”

Tags: celebrities, entertainment, Former child star talks being broke and homeless: "It's been very tough", Jerry Suprian, National Enquirer, Small Wonder

’80′s sitcom star Jerry Suprian played the big brother Jamie Lawson on Small Wonder, but has recently fallen on hard times.

Here’s what National Enquirer reports:

The ENQUIRER tracked down one-time TV star Jerry and he revealed that since losing his job as a waiter two years ago he’s been homeless and sleeps under a bridge in central California!

“When I was 18, I dated a stripper and she took what was left of my trust fund — then one of my advisers stole a half-million dollars from me,” Jerry told The ENQUIRER in an exclusive interview.

“Two years ago I was laid off from a restaurant in Henderson, Nevada, due to the economy. I haven’t been able to find a job since.”

It was a hard fall for the good-natured 39-year-old who played fun-loving preteen Jamie Lawson on “Small Wonder,” which ran from 1985 to 1989. He raked in megabucks from the series as well as guest roles on TV classics such as “Little House on the Prairie,” “Newhart” and “Highway to Heaven.” But residuals from the series ended in 1994, when reruns stopped on TV.

“It’s been very tough,” he said. “I had to move back to central California where my brother lives with his family. And while he helps me with hot meals and a shower, he doesn’t have the room for me to stay there. So I either sleep at the homeless shelter I volunteer at, or under a local bridge.”

He adds that he still keeps in touch with his old co-stars through Facebook, which he accesses in public libraries. And he relies on a network of friends for emotional support as he continues to seek employment.

“I’m just looking for a break,” he said.

We hope Jerry will find the work he needs!

Don’t Be Tardy For the Wedding episode 7 “One Wig Left to Go” reaction

By Celebrity Chatta Leave a Comment

This week on Don’t Be Tardy For the Wedding, Kim debuts her real hair & makes up with BFF Jen! Here’s our take on it:

So where were we?

Kim hated her outdoor wedding tent. She cried over her absent maid-of-honor Jen so Kroy tells Jen that she hurt Kim’s feelings!

“One Wig Left to Go”

It’s 2 days until the wedding so Kim & Kroy meet with their hired security.

For the wedding Kim wants guests to enter the property–only if they have ID! For their wedding, guests will enter in the front and head straight out to the backyard, since the house is OFF LIMITS. The security guards come prepared with markups to keep Kim’s home safe–oh and they’re ready to take out any lurking paparazzi too!

Kim says the homeowners Kendra & Antonio Davis are demanding money for the decorations. It’s Kim’s wedding but it’s not her house–yet!

The day before the wedding–Kim’s gets a nasty cold! Kim may be sick but she’s happy she doesn’t have her period. TMI Kim.

Then Kim gets a sappy email from Jen who gives her pep talk and words of encouragement– which are just what the doctor ordered!

Awwwwww shucks. Kim calls Jen–who apologizes and they both cry together. At the end of the day–their friendship matters the most. *Tear*

Later Kim meets with Eddie the jeweler who has a sparkly surprise for her from Kroy!

Eddie also has some bling bling for her “borrowed’ aspect of her wedding.

Kim loves some $90k drop-diamond earrings and from Kroy, she’s picks out a $400k diamond bracelet. Prettttttyyyyyy!

When Eddie leaves, Kim notices Antonio shows up at the house while Kroy’s away at practice.

Security guard Bill calls Kim asking if Antonio can come in but Kim tells him–it’s not gonna happen!

Bill tells her that Antonio is going to get the cops involved to inspect the house–WTF!

Kim calls her realtor Val who informs her that Antonio can’t just show up without 24-hour notice or an appointment!

Elsewhere, Briella and Ariana decide to make Rice Krispie squares but they decide to see who can fit the most marshmellows in their mouths! Good times.

Later, Kim and her assistant Niki meet with Derek J to talk wedding hair options.

Derek and Niki want Kim to wear her real hair for the wedding. Oh Kim will never go for that…

so Kim takes off her wig…and her real hair is fantastic! Derek tells her she looks more conservative with her real hair but will it be her hair for the wedding? Kim says no way as she needs big hair to match her big boobs on her big day! LOL

And next time,

It’s Kim and Kroy’s wedding and plans are finally coming together…

But Kim’s still sick and Derek J shows up late to cut her hair/wig and when Jen arrives as Kim has a panic attack!

Don’t Be Tardy For the Wedding airs Thursdays at 9:30/8:30c on Bravo.
