Tilda Swinton’s excellent movie “We Need to Talk About Kevin” brought up the infrequently mentioned subject of child psychopaths and reminded many people of the 1956 movie “The Bad Seed” which was extraordinary for it’s time. Patty McCormack made an indelible impression playing polite but demonic 10 year old Rhoda in “The Bad Seed.” She’s still around and was seen fondling semiprecious stones at Crystalarium on Melrose Avenue. Currently, Patty often guests on TV series like “NYPD Blue” or “Grey’s Anatomy” and starred as Pat Nixon in the Nixon/Frost movie in 2008.

This former A-list celebrity, who’s now barely on the B list, is struggling to maintain her looks, but job offers have become few and far between. She may be a mom, but she till parties like a teenager. P Diddy had a Grammy after-party at the Playboy mansion and Playmates were assigned to take groups of 10 or so people on tours of the mansion. When a Playmate leading a group of Japanese businessmen led them into the game room, they were startled to see this still sexy B-lister snorting a HUGE pile of coke. She wiped her nose, calmly introduced herself, and made a hasty exit.

Whodunit?? Guess who.

It happened in 2000: One of Whitney Houston’s alltime favorite movies has always been the tearjerker “Love Story.” She’s hoping to update and remake the move starring herself and her husband Bobby Brown as the doomed couple originally played by Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal. Whitney realizes audiences might have a hard time swallowing Bobby as the wealthy and refined young man so she plans to switch the roles and have the female character from the right side of the tracks. She’s already working on a script and hopes to start filming before the end of the year. (As we all know, it didn’t work out….)

So, what do you think of that?! DO TELL!
