Erin Moran, former "Happy Days" star, is now allegedly homeless after being kicked out of the trailer where she lived. RadarOnline reports that the actress' hard partying drew the ire of her mother-in-law. Moran was living in the trailer with her husband, Steve Fleischmann, and his mother. RadarOnline has a photo of Moran outside a Holiday Inn Express in Corydon, Ind., smoking a cigarette and looking ragged. She was reportedly staying there with her husband and their pet dogs. The owner of the Holiday Inn Express told E! News that Moran "had caused a disturbance of some type" but it is unclear if she was forced to leave the hotel or checked out on her own accord. Several locals "had seen [Moran] at local bars, just kind of hanging with the locals. No big deal," reporter/photographer Alan Stewart also told E! News. Other reports allege that Moran is not only homeless, but also blowing through the cash she was awarded in a legal settlement with CBS over merchandise revenue for "Happy Days"...More

Kim Kardashian caught plenty of flack this week (as tends to happen to a rich girl who got super famous thanks to a reality show she got after making a sex tape) for a remark she made in a recent interview with the U.K.’s The Guardian. In it, the 31-year-old made a comment many construed as comparing her struggles (televising her wedding, splitting from the groom 72 days later) to … the struggles of someone with cancer? We at omg! weren’t convinced that’s what she actually meant by the statement, but you can decide for yourself. Here’s what she said in the interview, addressing the topic of whether she felt pressure to televise her wedding for her reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians": "Not really. We [were] done filming our season at that point, so we decided to film for the wedding. And that was a decision that he and I made together. But I think that, with any decisions in life, like, I spoke to a girl today who had cancer and we were talking about how this is such a hard thing for her, but it taught her a big lesson on who her friends are and so much about life. She's 18. And I was like, that's how I feel." Dozens of media outlets picked up the story, running catchy headlines such as “Did Kim Kardashian compare her televised wedding to cancer?” and the like. Many people took to Twitter to bash the millionaire reality star. And still others waged a campaign to boycott cable’s “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”...More

How Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes first met has always been shrouded in secrecy. Although it has been widely speculated that she was selected for him by the Church of Scientology, this is something that the organization has always denied. But if the rumor is true, Holmes wouldn’t have been the first actress to “audition” for the role. According to a new report in the October issue of Vanity Fair, just months before Cruise stepped out with Holmes in April 2005, his controversial religion was looking to find a girlfriend for him, preferably one that was already a Scientologist. VF special correspondent Maureen Orth reports that Scientology officials brought in a number of its members, who happened to be actresses, under the guise they were auditioning for a "new training film." The women were also asked, “What do you think of Tom Cruise?” Of the "several" that were interviewed, one landed the part: Iranian-born, London-raised Nazanin Boniadi. "In a month-long preparation in October 2004, she was audited every day, a process in which she told a high-ranking Scientology official her innermost secrets and every detail of her sex life," Orth writes in Vanity Fair about the “General Hospital” actress. Boniadi, who one source tells the magazine had to sign a confidentiality agreement, “allegedly was told to lose her braces, her red highlights, and her boyfriend." A month later, Boniadi, now 32, first met the “Mission: Impossible” star in New York City for a dinner at Nobu – but it wasn’t just a one-on-one date. Orth reports that “an entourage of Scientology aides” were also present and it was “when [Boniadi] first sensed that this was possibly going to be an arranged marriage.” After the meal, they went ice skating at Rockefeller Center, which had been closed to the public. At the end of the night, Boniadi and Cruise retired to a room at Trump Tower, “but according to several sources, they did not have sex.” Orth writes that he also told the brunette beauty, “I’ve never felt this way before” and then had her sign a second confidentiality agreement...More
