TALK ABOUT TIMING…”GREED IS GOOD” AND GORDON GECKO ARE BACK!

“Greed is right, greed works.” Oscar-winning writer-director-conspiracy theorist Oliver Stone is reteaming with Wall Street star Michael Douglas for a sequel to their 1987 film about a young stockbroker who sells his moral soul for the promise of a big payday, 20th Century Fox announced Tuesday.

Douglas will reprise his role as ruthless corporate raider Gordon Gekko, for which he snagged the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Considering Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) may have had to go looking for a new line of work, the sequel will require new blood, and Shia LaBeouf is in talks for the role of Gekko’s latest impressionable young protégé, according to trade reports.

Not surprisingly, considering both the film’s directorial pedigree and the current state of the U.S. economy, the sequel (tentatively titled Wall Street 2) will be very “ripped from the headlines,” per Fox spokesman Gregg Brilliant.

“It starts up a couple years ago,” Douglas said during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, scheduled to air Wednesday. “Gordon Geckko has just got out of jail and we kind of deal with all the issues that are going on now. It’s an excellent script. I’m really excited about it.”

SPENCER PRATT AND HEIDI MONTGOMERY TIE THE KNOT IN PASADENA!

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are officially—and legally—married this time around. After several failed attempts at wedded bliss, sources confirm that The Hills’ made-for-TV lovebirds, tied the knot in a Saturday evening ceremony in Pasadena, California.

The reality sweethearts were joined at Westminster Presbyterian Church by more than 200 of their closest friends, family and lots of their best celeb pals, including Perez Hilton, music producer David Foster, along with Hills costars Brody Jenner, Frankie Delgado, Taylor Mosher, Audrina Patridge, Justin Bobby, Lo Bosworth and Laguna Beach alum Kristin Cavallari. Even frenemy Lauren Conrad had a change of heart and attended the festivities, but made a hasty exit from the church following the ceremony.

The entire Hills crew—camera crane and all!—was on hand to film the blessed event, which we’re told will air as this season’s finale in May. “MTV wishes Heidi and Spencer the best and can’t wait to share their wedding with The Hills fans later this season,” says an MTV spokeswoman.

Hi BFF Charlie,

Little Edna

(NOTE TO LISTENERS AND READERS: Edna is one of the kids from Children’s Hospital I became best friends with when we first met just before her life saving brain surgery for a tumor that Doctors at CHLA discovered which other physicians and hospitals had failed to diagnose. She is one of the many CHLA miracles and a remarkable story!)

SOME TIPS FOR A BEAUTIFUL LIFE, EVEN IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES!

1. Take a 10-30 minute “Thank you” walk every day. While you walk practice gratitude. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.

3. Buy a TIVO, tape your late night shows and get more sleep—it’s the ultimate energizer.

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement: My purpose is to___________ today.

5. Live with the 3 E’s. Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy.

6. Read more books than you did in 2008.

7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, qigong and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

8. Do the “one thing” you have always wanted to do.

9. Dream more while you are awake.

10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less foods that are manufactured in plants.

11. Mentor someone and be mentored by someone.

12. Engage in daily random acts of kindness.

13. Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing positive energy into your life.

14. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

17. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.

18. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements:
I am thankful for __________.
Today I accomplished____________.

19. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

20. Enjoy the ride. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy it.

FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA IS BACK HOME & IN THE WHITE HOUSE GARDEN!

Now that the European summit is over, first lady Michelle Obama can get back to tending the White House garden, which turned out to be the hot topic of the overseas trip.

It was “the number one question I got as the first lady from world leaders—they were excited about this garden,” she told a group of Washington, D.C., students ready to help her plant lettuce, spinach, herbs and other fruits and vegetables to be used for the White House dinners.

When she asked the kids to guess how much the whole thing cost to plant, one boy guessed $100,000, to which she responded, “My husband would go crazy if he thought we were spending that kind of money…It’s between $100 and $200. So it’s not a lot of money.”

As for the highly anticipated Obama dog, it’s coming “soon.” If so, we’re guessing some of those vegetables might be dug up a little early.

EASTER AROUND THE WORLD

Visiting the Easter Bunny at the local mall is a time-honored American tradition. But families in other countries have different ways of celebrating the springtime holiday:

Russia — People tap each other with pussy willow branches for good luck.

Germany — Villagers make a bonfire out of their old Christmas trees to burn the last vestiges of winter and make way for spring.

England — Young men carry around a chair decorated with flowers. When a girl or a woman sits in the chair, they lift her up three times for good luck. She thanks them with money and a kiss.

Australia — Families play a game in which everyone takes an egg and then pair off and tap each other’s egg. The first egg to crack loses and the winner goes on to challenge other winners until there is only one egg left.

Norway — Even though Easter heralds the beginning of spring, many Norwegians go skiing. They also love to buy crime novels and watch TV detective shows while on vacation. They call it “paskekrimmen” or “Easter Crime.”

Sweden — Swedes celebrate by shooting off fireworks.

Argentina– Women in ruffled skirts, colorful ponchos and white hates cover their faces with white powder and sing songs as they ride on horseback to the Easter carnival. At the end of the festivities, a rag doll is buried to mark the conclusion of the holiday.

Bulgaria — The oldest woman in the family touches the faces of the children with the first Easter egg that has been colored red, for good luck.

Poland — People celebrate by splashing water on each other. On Easter Monday boys lie in wait to sprinkle girls with water or perfume. It is said that girls who get soaked will marry within the year.
