"Many people call me a whore, but I take it as a compliment." – Heidi Fleiss (Courtesy Wikimedia)

Times are rough for the former Hollywood madam, Heidi Fleiss, who now lives in a trailor with twenty parrots.

Once making ten million dollars annually, Fleiss now lives in, Pahrump, Nevada, a remote desert town and runs a laundry mat.

"To think I used to earn ten million dollars a year—I shopped at the most exclusive stores on Rodeo Drive. I'd think nothing about spending $400 on a pair of jeans," Fliess told News of the World.

"I drove a Porsche and ate at restaurants where soup cost 30 bucks. Now I can barely afford a can of soup. Some days I eat the parrots' nuts because I can't afford bread."

Fleiss maintains she has regrets about her old life and is happy with her new one.

"Many people call me a whore, but I take it as a compliment. I've slept with men most women only dream of having sex with. Show me any woman who would turn down Nicholson or Brando.

"I've bedded everything between the ages of 16 and 60. I've had so much sex.

"But unless someone very rich comes along and is willing to take on the mess I'm perfectly happy in my launderette and playing with my parrots."

Fliess was arrested again in February and slapped with a plethora of charges including driving without a license, possession of dangerous drugs without a prescription, being under the influence of a controlled substance and driving under the influence of a controlled substance. She had planned to open brothels catering to female clientel called "stud farms," but decided on a laundry mat instead. Go figure.

M. Night Shyamalan-a-ding-dong has a new movie. Do you think there'll be a twist? (Courtesy YouTube)

Sometimes we at Bodog Beat cheer for M. Night Shyamalan. We really want him to make a good movie for the simple reason that he really wants to make a good movie. Then we see scenes in his movies when he compromises the integrity of the plots by forcing in his stupid cameo — and we remember that he will never recreate the success he enjoyed with The Sixth Sense, no matter how hard he tries. The bottom line is, he should just go lie on a beach somewhere and get over it.

Today, 20th Century Fox released the above two-minute clip of The Happening, which shows not only Shyamalan's excitement for his flick, but also that the film's stars — Mark Whalberg and Zooey Deschanel might be the worst actors on the history of the planet. Seriously. Watch the clip. Dustin Diamond and Heidi Montag would have been a better duo.

Will this be another box-office bomb for Shyamalan? Are you cheering for him? Get your movie betting in the Bodog Sportsbook today.

Yesterday was a big day for California — the Supreme Court brought down the state law that banned gay marriage. Hours later, Ellen DeGeneres announced on her talk show that she would marry her long-time love, Portia de Rossi. Her news was met with a standing ovation from the audience an de Rossi watched on the sidelines.

"I'm thrilled that the California Supreme Court overturned the ban on gay marriage," DeGeneres later told The Advocate. "I can't wait to get married. We all deserve the same rights, and I believe that someday…not allowing gays to marry will seem as absurd as not allowing women to vote."

Before the ruling yesterday, only one US state - Massachusetts - allowed gay marriage.

The New Kids on the Block hit The Today Show and were received by wild, wild fans. (Courtesy NBC)

Fans actually slept in the streets for two whole days – in the rain — in anticipation of the New Kids on the Block performance on The Today Show. True story, folks.

Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Danny Wood, Donnie Wahlberg, and Joey McIntyre took the stage for the first time since 1994 to perform the biggest hits, "The Right Stuff," "Please Don't Go Girl," "Step by Step," and "Hangin Tough" before launching into their new single, "Summertime."

Back when most of us were suckling on our mama's teats, the multi-platinum boy band constantly topped the charts with a plethora of hit singles. However, once they surpassed puberty, their tween fans lost interest and so they changed their name to NKOTB, a name which earned the band a severe backlash and thus they fell into obscurity — finally calling it quits in 1994.

Today however, the boys — ahem, men – proved that the New Kids might just be the Comeback Kids. Our friends over at Gossip Girls have the video. If their appearance on The Today Show is any indication of their crazed fan-base, it looks like the New Kids jumping on the reunion bandwagon might be the reunion tour to beat.

Yes the rumors are true. In fact, rumors that began circulating today was news that already broken a year ago by Time Out New York, who conducted an in-depth interview with writer Peter Iliff. This time around, Iliff is slated to both write and direct the sequel.

Time Out NY: "Why remake Point Break? It's been 17 years."

Peter Iliff: "What's interesting is that because so much time has gone by, we're not necessarily making a sequel. We're making another movie, but we're following the character of  the first film, Bodhi. His mates were all killed, and he had a choice: you can go to jail or you can have an honorable death of suicide by wave. And, of course, he survives. And he would flee off the grid to somewhere like Indonesia, which is the last frontier of  surfing, and he would create a life here."

Time Out NY: "He survived that perfect storm?"

Peter Iliff: "In truth, only Mark Foo has been killed in big-wave surfing, and it's probably because his leash held him down. Guys do survive these waves quite often. So what's interesting is to follow the story of someone who's set up a new life here, who resumes criminal activities and thus invites attention. This character would now have a family; he would have a stepson who would be a major Indonesian character. There'll be a new love interest, who'll be Asian, and coming after this guy would be a new Hollywood character. I don't want to give it away but it ends very much the same way."

When the show first started, us Bodog Beat employees admittedly only watched America's Next Top Model for the T&A. We quickly realized however, that this show offered mostly protruding rib cages and sunken-in chests. D'oh!

However, this season, Whitney Thompson, who weighs more than 80 pounds and was dubbed "plus sized" (aka: the show's resident fatty) gave us something to leer at. And, surprisingly, she actually won the show — as previous seasons plus-sizers were eliminated early on.

"This is what people should look like," Thompson told the media, referring to herself, "rather than skin-and-bones, which is disgusting and sends a bad message to people everywhere."

And Whitney's prize? Oh Tyra Banks has only mentioned it several hundred times: a contract with Elite Model Management, a cover and a six page spread in Seventeen magazine, and a $100,000 modeling…yawn…contract with Cover…blah…blah…snore. Is this crap coming back for another season?

Costa Rica is where the crazies will reunite. (AP Images)

The crazy train is pulling into Costa Rica. Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are reportedly headed to Costa Rica for a vacation together, reports People magazine. In tow will also be Spears' dad and Gibson's wife. Sounds awesome.

"They're just going away for a few days to relax," a source tells the magazine. "Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible."

Gibson and Spears were apparently first spotted together dining at Romanov, a Russian restaurant in Studio City back in March.

"There are no expectations, there is no agenda," adds the source. "It's simply an act of human kindness - one neighbor reaching out to the other."

The crazies will reportedly be staying at Gibson's Costa Rica home and will be back next week.

Tonya Harding is back in the spotlight — not for the usual celebrity boxing, or beating her husband with a hubcap — this time she's written book.

Harding has a lot of explaining to do if she wants to endear herself to the American public — namely when it comes to the Nancy Kerrigan smackdown that occurred 14 years ago. In her new book, The Tonya Tapes, Harding claims that she planned to go to the FBI when she found out her husband at the time, Jeff Gillooly, was involved in the beating, but that he and two other men then kidnapped her, held her at gunpoint, raped her and told her that they would kill her if she didn't help them lie.

Meredith Vieira then asked the obvious: Why did she wait so long to tell this story?

"Ashamed," she told Vieira. "Scared."
