The white guy with the messy blonde hair is one of my favs. and the young black guy with the glasses and hoodie.

my office is set up kinda like the TMZ office, with the half walls, open space and whiteboard with random scribbles. my boss is a lawyer who always drinks out of one of those eco-friendly metal canteens. were like TMZ mixed with the View most days here.

Sounds like a fun office!

I also like the messy haired blonde guy. I LOL everytime the lawyer on TMZ accuses Levin of not being a real lawyer. Seeing them go at it is always hilarious.

Don't get me wrong, I think it is great she is doing something as kind as being a surrogate for somebody. But doing it for your own blood? There is a bit too much ick factor in that for me.

Being a surrogate for your own blood is rare but I know of instances where it has happened and worked wonderfully.

I'm only grossed out because it is Tila Tequila.

That's it. Technically, it stands for the area within a 30-mile radius of the intersection of West Beverly Boulevard and North La Cienega Boulevard. It's also called the Studio Zone. It's purpose is for setting union rates in the entertainment industry -- rates for work done inside the Zone are typically lower than those for work done outside the Zone.

Really? You mean, being just the great granddaughter of Johnson didn't eliminate the competition? Darn!!

YESS!! I'm glad I'm not the only one that knew she was a drug addict. Almost doubted it yesterday cause noone could remember where she was or not.


I think Tila did it! lol

It was her uncle Jamie (who's only a few years older); it was about rich kids all over the country and the world. A guy who lived downstairs from me freshman year in college was featured in that documentary. Total jerk, and not really all that rich.

Hey, I drink out of one of those eco-friendly metal canteens!

Wasn't Jamie Johnson stripped of his inheritance after appearing on the documentary?

I don't think so. I just think he received the cold shoulder after that.

He wasn't, but Warren Buffet cut off his step-granddaughter after she did it.

Yeah he wrote her a pretty nasty letter basically telling her that she wasn't really family. I thought it was pretty cold to be honest.

She was featured in The One Percent, the documentary he did after Born Rich. She discussed how he would pay for everyone's educational expenses, but that's it. He would pretty much cut EVERYONE off after that. At the time she was struggling to make a living as an artist. I think she also went on Oprah.

She talked about how hurt she was considering the fact that he had always been her grandfather even though they weren't related by blood. It was kind of sad.
