Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick
Talk about six degrees being too close for comfort. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are the latest known victims of Bernie Madoff’s $50 billion Ponzi scheme.
“I can confirm that they had investments with Mr. Madoff – no further specifics or comment beyond that,” Bacon’s rep, Allen Eichorn, told New York Magazine Tuesday.
As for reports that the couple lost everything except for their checking accounts and the land they own, Eichorn said, “Please, let’s not speculate or rely on hearsay.”
Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo may be feeling the pain from torn cartilage in his ribs – not to mention his team’s blistering loss to the Philadelphia Eagles over the weekend – but he does have one thing going for him: Jessica Simpson.
The athlete’s girlfriend “rushed to his side as soon as she found out that Tony got hurt,” a source said after reports surfaced that Romo had collapsed in the shower of the team’s locker room after the game Sunday.
Britney Spears
Personal troubles or no, Britney Spears is still the hottest human being on Planet Earth, according to USA Today’s annual Celebrity Heat Index, which measures how much exposure a star gets in print and online.
Brit got more media attention than anyone else for 11 weeks this year, meaning she earned the top spot on the index for the second year in a row. That coverage included everything from her infamous breakdown last January to her best-selling album, just released on Dec. 2.
