Colbert to auction cast to help Yellow Ribbon
Stephen Colbert will auction the cast that helped mend his broken left wrist to benefit the Yellow Ribbon Fund.
The cast will be auctioned on eBay after Thursday night's “The Colbert Report,” Comedy Central said Wednesday. It has been signed by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, CBS “Evening News” anchor Katie Couric, NBC “Nightly News” anchor Brian Williams, Fox News “The O'Reilly Factor” host Bill O'Reilly, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., NBC “Meet the Press” host Tim Russert and White House Press Secretary Tony Snow.
Bids will be accepted until Sept. 3, with the winner to be announced the week of Sept. 10 on the “Report,” which airs at 11:30 p.m. EDT Monday through Thursday. Proceeds will go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a charity that assists injured service members and their families.
Pitt tours construction of winning design house
Brad Pitt toured the construction site of a house in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward that is based on the winning design in a competition he launched to help the area recover from Hurricane Katrina.
Wearing khaki pants, T-shirt and hard hat, the 43-year-old actor walked through the house Tuesday, pointing out its many “green” features, including blue walls treated with a nontoxic repellant for mold and termites.
“There's light coming in from all sides and a lot of ventilation,” said Pitt, standing in what will be the living room. “A lot of thought has gone into this house.”
The three-bedroom, single-family home is the first of five slated for the Holy Cross section of the Lower 9th Ward based on the winning design in a competition launched in 2006 by Pitt and the environmental organization Global Green USA.
Brown not foxy enough to get out of this one
Foxy Brown was hauled off to jail Wednesday after a judge revoked her probation.
The 27-year-old rapper was accused of violating the terms of her release after she was arrested earlier this month on charges she smacked her neighbor with her cell phone.
Authorities said Brown also skipped her anger management classes and traveled out of the city without permission.
“She has an air of entitlement about her,” city Department of Probation lawyer Matilde Leo said at a hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court. “Probation is a privilege, not a right. ... She has finally abused that privilege to the point of no return.”
Judge Melissa Jackson ordered Brown jailed until her next hearing on Sept. 7.
