Christian Slater has purchased an Italian-style villa in Coconut Grove, Florida, for $2.2 million.

The renovated 1926 estate, dubbed “Villa Dolce Far Niente” (translation: home of pleasant idleness), is perfect for enjoying those sunny South Florida days.

The 3,440 square foot, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home features a grand foyer entry with dark hardwood floors leading through arched doorways and french doors, an all-white eat-in kitchen with statuary marble floors and stainless steel appliances, a formal living room with fireplace, and a “dramatic dining room framed by arched mahogany french doors leading out to a very green and private outdoor area with patio and large heated pool.”

Beyond the pool is a one-bedroom guesthouse.

Mariah wardrobe malfunction

Suffice it to say that Mariah Carey was not having a good morning during her Friday performance on ABC’s ‘GMA’ show.

While chatting with host Lara Spencer, live from Central Park in Manhattan, the diva suffered a wardrobe malfunction when the back zipper on her slinky Versace dress popped open.

MC blurted, “Oh S***, the back of the dress just popped.”  Lara responded, “It popped?”

Mariah lamented, “I love you Donatella, but it popped darling.”

While several handlers attempted to pull the back of the dress together so that it could be temporarily fastened, the singer asked, “Is it gonna fall?”  Then referring to her ample cleavage, she announced,  “OK, both of them are out now.”

Mariah joked, “What should we call this?  The Central Park Saga?”

Spencer responded emphatically, “I dare say this is a TV moment.”

Janet Jackson NOT a Billionaire Despite the Hype

Janet Jackson billionaire

Over the past few days reports strongly suggest that Janet Jackson has joined the prestigious ranks of the famed billionaires club.

As it turns out, the iconic entertainer has likely earned that much over the course of her 40 year career but it remains unclear whether she has cash and assets, in her name, totaling 10 figures now.

According to a Variety story a few days ago, JJ “has made $81 million in music and book publishing, $260 million in album sales, $458 million in worldwide tours grosses, $60 million in tour sponsorships, $21.5 million in licensing and $304 million at the box office, which adds up to well over a billion dollars.”

Forbes writer Dorothy Pomerantz points out, “Net worth is not based on how much your work has brought in over a lifetime.”

Janet’s rep had this to say, “What Variety had, to the best of my knowledge, is all correct.  As to whether she is or isn’t a billionaire, that’s not information that has been or would be imparted to me.  She’s an exceedingly bright business person in all forms of life, including entertainment.  There’s people whose money goes and people whose money grows, and she’s very astute with her finances.”

We can say for certain that her husband, Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana, IS a bona fide billionaire.

Wissom, 37, and Janet, 47, wed  in a private ceremony in 2012.  According to Forbes, he is one of the richest retail investors in the Middle East.

American Idol Alum Tapped to Become the Judges

Idol Alum tapped to judge the show

FOX and ‘American Idol’ are reportedly courting several former contestants to become season 13 judges — the latest attempt to turn the ratings tide that has been plummeting for the past several cycles of the show.

There are strong indications that Jennifer Hudson is negotiating a deal that will land the Oscar and Grammy-winning entertainer a place on the judges panel.  Other successful past participants who are rumored to be on the short list include Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert.

Kelly Clarkson, who won the first season of ‘Idol’ in 2002, was also in the rumored mix until her rep stated emphatically, “Kelly will not be a judge on ‘Idol.’”  She is slated to get married later this year to Blake Shelton’s manager, Brandon Blackstock.

At the White House

Fox Alternative Entertainment President Mike Darnell talked about finding the perfect singing show judge, “If you’ve never done it before, we don’t know what we’re getting.  You might be great, you might be terrible.  It’s a skill… Everybody thinks they can do it but not everybody can.”

Shortly after sharing that tidbit Darnell fired himself.  His statement read: “Mike Darnell votes himself out of Fox Broadcasting Company.  The results are in.  I’m extremely grateful that Fox has offered me a new long term contract but I’ve decided it’s time for a change.  I’ve been in ‘reality’ since before it was even called that, and it has truly been an amazing ride.”

Assuming you are a former fan of the show … would a season of ‘American Idol’ alum as judges lure you back in?
