More financial woes for Ed McMahon
by Allison Waldman, posted Jun 21st 2008 3:23PM
Somebody give Ed McMahon a job, please! There are more stories emerging about the famous TV sidekick's financial woes, and it's just sad that he's in such dire straits. Granted, he's not alone in these tough times -- and, yes, he has had millions in his time -- but the revelations that the former Tonight Show star and Star Search host is in money trouble strikes me as really unfortunate. And apparently that help from Jay Leno is slow in materializing. Why isn't Publisher's Clearinghouse giving him a gig?
The latest news is that Citibank is suing McMahon for $200,000, a loan they extended to Ed. In a lawsuit filed in L.A. Superior court on June 9, the bank is seeking $179,687 in damages, plus legal fees. This is on top of the potential foreclosure on his Beverly Hills home.
Brooke Burns' friend saved her life

Brooke Burns is fortunate. Very fortunate. And she knows
it. The former Baywatch star broke her neck when she dove into a pool last month, knocking her head on a
surfboard. If it hadn't been for a friend, she probably would have died. Her friend was a paramedic firefighter, who,
Brooke says, "wrapped a wet towel around my neck and basically immobilized me and floated me in the pool until
paramedics came." Burns spoke to Access Hollywood last night about the accident. She revealed that she
broke her neck "from chin to chest" when she dove into that pool. She also said that the accident has brought
her closer to her ex-husband, Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck), who has been at her side since she arrived at the
hospital on November 10th. Brooke is on the mend and will continue with her plans to co-star in the WB series
Pepper Dennis with Rebecca Romijn, starting in January. In the meantime, she's stylin' in her personalized
neck brace.TV Squad Hot Topics
