Kramer a racist?  Actor Michael Richards "not so funny" comedy act

BetUS.com Posts Odds on Michael Richards (aka Kramer)


November 20, New York – Seinfeld’s reputation for being a light-hearted, comedy series may be tarnished forever due to Michael Richards’ (Kramer) racial outburst on set at a comedy club. The rant began when audience members refused to be quiet during Richards’ set which led to him screaming the “N-word” at the top of his lungs. Audience members who thought they were going to see the humorous “Kramer” and instead saw a racist, began walking out as Richards left the stage.

For nine seasons “Kramer” and the cast of Seinfeld made its way through our televisions and into our lives. The quick-witted show with the notorious slap-bass jingle brought situational humor to a new level explaining why its syndication came as no surprise once the show ended.

Due to the recent outburst and public shock,
BetUS.com (see website here) posted odds on Michael Richards.

Britney Spears sex tape could get in hands of online gambling company

BetUS.com executives announced that they are in the midst of negotiations with singer/dancer Kevin Federline’s manager, Brian Bunnin of I.C.M., for the rights to the Britney Spears/Kevin Federline four-hour "sex tape" which is said to make “One Night in Paris” look like a children’s cartoon.

The popular online sportsbook, which counts over a hundred thousand members in the United States alone, was catapulted to head of the bidding line due to direct contact with “K-Fed’s” camp, and negotiations for an exclusive online distribution deal are in the works.

Financial arrangements of the deal could not be made available pending final approval by BetUS.com investors; however, BetUS.com believes that with the popularity of Britney, she will out-sell Paris two times over.

“After the Paris tape dropped and became a huge hit, you would think Britney would have gotten rid of the tape,” said BetUS.com spokesperson, Christopher Bennett. “Wasn’t this the same girl who not too long ago came out and said she was a virgin? I wonder how many tapes she’s made? We could have a series.”

BetUS.com intends to offer the video free-of-charge to their customers. Non BetUS.com customers will have to pay $29.95 for the right to rip the video onto their own hard drives or video devices.

It is not known how much BetUS.com is offering for the steamy video.  So far, British tabloid News of the World has gone on record as offering $50 million.

BetUS.com is presently offering a whole menu of Britney Spears/Kevin Federline betting odds.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes wedding: Gambling site favors Scientology as the ceremony to be performed

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will be getting married in Italy some time next week in some secret location.  But an even bigger secret might be which ceremony is going to be performed at the wedding.

One gambling website, Bodog.com (see website here) has released odds on which ceremoney will be performed with Scientology the 1 to 10 favorite.  Don't count out Catholic though.  Katie Holmes is not a practicing Scientologist.  She is in fact Catholic.

Vatican officials pondered the conundrum of whether to grant a Roman Catholic wedding to a divorced celebrity and prominent Scientologist, amid feverish speculation yesterday over Tom Cruise’s imminent marriage to Katie Holmes — somewhere in Italy.

Latest reports suggest that the 44-year-old star will marry Holmes, 27, at a medieval castle overlooking Lake Bracciano, north of Rome, at the end of next week.

BetUS.com Posts Odds on the Futures of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to adopt child from India: More baby betting odds

Britney and K-Fed are no longer in play, but there are plenty of other celebrity baby odds available at betED.com (see website here)

The online wagering website is offering odds on celebrity babies, specifically the future offspring of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and singer Christina Aguilera.

At betED.com, the odds of Pitt and Jolie adopting a child from India by February 28th, 2007, are: Yes (+200) and No (-400).

Also, what sex will Christina Aguilera’s first child be? Male (-125) or Female (-125).

www.betED.com had been offering wagers on whether Britney Spears and Kevin "K-Fed" Federline would announce that they are expecting another baby by December 31st, 2006, but news of their split this week essentially makes that a rain-out.

In an interesting twist, Federline may have learned of Britney Spears's decision to divorce him from a text message he received while taping a show for Canadian television station MuchMusic.

Pop singer Britney Spears filed for divorce from her husband of two years on Tuesday, citing irreconcilable differences.

Legal papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court, however, listed the official day of separation as Monday, the day Federline was in Toronto filming an episode of Exposed for the music station.

A report from the network with video — available for viewing on YouTube — from the taping showed Federline taking a break from an interview to check his text messages, after which he abruptly took off his microphone and left for half an hour.
MuchMusic, Canada’s version of MTV, reported the former backup dancer turned rapper returned visibly upset and finished shooting the show.

Spears has asked for legal custody of their two children, one-year-old Sean Preston and two-month-old Jayden James, the papers say. She has hired celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has represented stars such as Angelina Jolie, Nick Lachey and Kiefer Sutherland in divorce cases.

Spears and Federline married in September 2004 and are believed to have a prenuptial agreement.

The divorce petition states property rights are yet to be determined, but Spears is not requesting alimony.

Britney Spears sex tape?  Don't bet on it

The rumors have been circulating for some time and now we have a curiously timed "Britney Spears sex tape" or is it really her?

Being that this is a G-rated website (when our beautiful Jenny Woo is not around) we can't show you the 19 second clip that popped up today on PornoTube.

Fleshbot.com warns however:

"Before you get too excited, keep in mind that the 19 second clip of uncertain provenance that popped up on PornoTube a few hours ago only shows a tight closeup of a woman who may or may not look like Britney (depending how hard you squint) giving some rather energetic head to an uncircumcized ***** that may or may not belong to K-Fed ... and that any shlub with a video editing program can add a "Britney Spears Sex Tape" logo to the corner of the footage to make it look somehow 'official'."

Britney Spears announced Tuesday she would be divorcing Kevin Federline.  He was reportedly notified by text message.

Bodog.com (see website here) has released the following betting odds on Britney Spears:
 

· Bet On: Will Britney Spears be granted full Legal and Physical custody of sons Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline?

· Bet On: Will Britney Spears have the last names of Jayden James Federline and Sean Preston Federline legally changed to Spears by December 31st, 2006?

· Bet On: Will Britney Spears get back together with Justin Timberlake in 2006?

 

Britney Spears to date Robbie Williams next?

If the oddsmakers are right, Britney Spears and British pop idol Robbie Williams may be an item real soon.  Irish online bookmaker Paddy Power has Robbie Williams as a 6 to 1 favorite to date Britney Spears next.

Maybe they know something we don't.  Paddy Power has Robbie Williams with the only single digit odds.  His next best competition is Matthew McConnaugh (who just happens to be tied with 14 to 1 odds with Pharrell Williams and Elijah Wood.

Justin Timberlake, who reportedly stated he is a better singer than Robbie Williams, is listed with 20 to 1 odds. 

Bobby Brown has odds of 80 to 1 while Michael Jackson is the long shot with 300 to 1 odds.  Anything is possible where Britney Spears is concerned though.

For the novice gambler, a $1 bet on Robbie Williams would result in a $6 payout (plus the initial $1 bet) should he become Britney's next beau.

Paddy Power does not accept customers from the United States.

 

Britney Spears divorce betting props now up

In response to Britney Spears announcement Tuesday that she will be divorcing her significant (or in this case perhaps "insignificant") other, Kevin Federline, Bodog.com (see website here) has released the following betting odds:
 

· Bet On: Will Britney Spears be granted full Legal and Physical custody of sons Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline?

· Bet On: Will Britney Spears have the last names of Jayden James Federline and Sean Preston Federline legally changed to Spears by December 31st, 2006?

· Bet On: Will Britney Spears get back together with Justin Timberlake in 2006?

"We are also in the process of putting together a prop on 'Who Britney will date next' and 'Who Kevin will date next'," disclosed Greg Gooden, Bodog.com Entertainment PR Coordinator.  "They should both be up shortly."

In her petition, Spears asks for both legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, 1-year-old Sean Preston and 2-month-old Jayden James; Federline would get visitation rights.

The date of separation was listed as Monday.Spears reportedly has hired yet another celebrity to handle the divorce. Lawyer Laura Wasser, the attorney who represented Angelina Jolie, Nick Lachey and Kiefer Sutherland in divorce cases, has been tabbed by Spears to handle the split.

Federline will be represented by attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan.

Britney Spears files for divorce: All bets off

With the announcement that Britney Spears has officially filed for divorce Tuesday from Kevin Federline, Bodog.com now features betting odds on whether Spears gets full custody of her two children, one of whom was born just a few weeks ago.  The company has long removed odds on Britney Spears divorcing Kevin Federline. 

The site offers odds of YES at -600 (or bet $600 to win $100 plus your initial $600 bet) and NO +300 (which translates into a $300 payout). 

The Los Angeles County Superior Court filing cites "irreconcilable differences," said court spokeswoman Kathy Roberts.

Spears, 24, married rapper Kevin Federline, 28, in 2004. They have a 1-year-old son, Sean Preston, and an infant son who was born Sept. 12. The divorce papers identify the baby as Jayden James Federline.

A message left with Spears' attorney, Laura Wasser, was not immediately returned.

Spears married Federline eight months after ending a 55-hour Las Vegas marriage to her childhood friend, Jason Alexander. Her second marriage has provided endless fodder for tabloids, which have speculated frequently that the union was in trouble.

Calls left for Federline's representatives also were not immediately returned.

Bet on how much Paul McCartney pays Heather Mills in divorce settlement?

It's the tabloid story that has appeared on the covers of most British papers almost daily: Former Beatle Paul McCartney's bitter divorce with Heather Mills.  And now one enterprising online bookmaker is offering betting odds on how much Heather Mills will obtain in the divorce settlement.

That's right, you can actually win a handsome sum of money along with Heather Mills.  Ladbrokes has £51 - £100 million the favorite at 2 to 1 odds (that's £200 million won on every £100 million bet, assuming Ladbrokes allowed those types of limits). 

0 - £50 million has 3/1 odds as does £100 - £150 million.  If you think Heather Mills will walk off with £400 million and over, the odds on that amount are 16 to 1.  There are even better payout odds for number ranges below this one.

Heather Mills is seeking a £1 billion divorce settlement.

McCartney has denied allegations in court filings that he was a violent, drug-taking drunk.

On Friday, revelations came out that Sir Paul McCartney's late wife Linda made a series of 'explosive' taped confessions about their relationship. 

McCartney reportedly threatened legal action to prevent a close friend of Linda McCartney from disclosing the contents of 20 hours of audio tapes recorded by his late first wife.

Peter Cox co-wrote the book "Linda McCartney's Home Cooking" in 1989 and was given the 15 tapes, an audio record of her ideas.

However, according to Britain's the Daily Mirror, the tapes also contain revelations of her marriage to McCartney that the former Beatle now wants kept secret in light of his bitter divorce battle with Heather Mills McCartney.

McCartney's management company MPL Communications now has an agreement in writing from Cox to keep their contents confidential.

Britney Spears baby's name a bad bet as Sutton becomes Jayden

What happens when an online gambling company offers bets on the name of a celebrity's baby, makes hefty payouts to customers who get the name right only to discover weeks later that the baby's name has changed?

It's not known what odds - if any - were being offered up by BetUS.com for either Sutton or Jayden.  The official birth certificate was released on Wednesday and records that Jayden James Federline was born on September 12 at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

Sources close to the couple had led the world's media to believe that the boy had been named Sutton Pierce.

"Policy among online gambling companies that offer baby name betting odds will likely shift to payouts following verification of an official birth certificate as opposed to press accounts," commented Gambling911.com Entertainment Reporter, Payton O'Brien. 

Britney Spears remains among the most bet on celebrities at internet gambling sites.  Dozens of odds have been offered on the pop diva during the past year, including one asking if she would lose custody of her first child, Sean Preston.

Likewise, betting on celebrity baby names has also become popular.

Whitney Houston betting odds aplenty

Fans around the world hope that Whitney Houston will start rebuilding her career now that she has separated from her husband Bobby Brown. Bobby, who was issued an arrest warrant this week after he failed to show up at a hearing regarding his overdue payments of child support for his first two children, has been known to be a “bad boy” which has done little to help Whitney fight her drug and alcohol addiction. Now that they are separated, BetUS.com – a leading online gaming site – has posted favorable 6-4 odds on whether or not Whitney will be releasing another number one album and re-launch her career after ditching Bobby Brown.

Although Whitney and Bobby are currently separated, a divorce is still not finalized and the two could reunite and go back to their drunken ways.  However, according to BetUS.com, Whitney is more likely to re-enter rehab and release a single with P Diddy before getting back with Bobby. 

What Will Happen Next To Whitney Houston?

Whitney to release a single with P Diddy: 5-1

Whitney's next Album to debut at No 1:  6-4

Whitney to re-enter rehab before Dec. 31, 2006:  2-1

Whitney to remarry Bobby before Dec. 31 2006:  10-1

 

 "I hope Whitney has a chance to pull herself together and focus on herself instead of drugs and Bobby” stated Christopher Bennett of BetUS.com. “She has a tremendous amount of talent and hopefully all that smoke and alcohol didn’t screw up her voice”.

Paris Hilton: Bet on whether she will be found guilty of DUI

25 year old heiress to the Conrad Hilton Hotel dynasty has been charged for a DUI Tuesday.

The star of the reality TV show The Simple Life, faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $US1000 fine, though first-time offenders are often given probation and required to attend alcohol counselling, Los Angeles City Attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan said.

Paris Hilton was pulled over by police in Hollywood for driving erratically during the early morning hours of September 7 and taken into custody after failing a sobriety test.  She claimed to have had only one drink that evening while attending a charity event.

Oddsmakers at Bodog.com are of the opinion that Ms. Hilton will indeed be found guilty of the DUI.

Odds of -200 mean that gamblers would have to shell out $200 to win $100 if she is found guilty whereas $150 would be paid out on a $100 bet if she is not.

In other words the odds are against Paris Hilton.

Bill O'Reilly's "Culture Warrior" good bet to debut #1 on New York Times Best Seller list?

Bodog.com today has released odds on colorful Fox News television personality Bill O'Reilly authored "Culture Warrior" debuting at #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover nonfiction books.

Odds "Culture Warrior" debuts at #1 are posted at -500 (or bet $500 to win $100).

See odds here ---->

In "Culture Warrior," O'Reilly rails against what he calls the "secular-progressive camp," led by billionaire liberal George Soros, the ACLU, and -- local angle! -- UC-Berkeley professor/progressive writer George Yakoff. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, is also on O'Reilly's hit list of the "S-P gang" leading the fight against O'Reilly's army of "traditionalists."

Rarely in the new book do the words "George Bush" or "Iraq" even appear, according to Bill Mann, a columnist for Contra Costa Times. O'Reilly, it seems, has other battles to fight.

"Soros is a huge threat; he's the puppet master," says the girded-for-battle commentator. "He's the financier for the people who believe America is basically evil."

"We're now down to the real core belief systems, it's slug-it-out-in-the-trenches time."

O'Reilly admits that most Americans who share his "traditional views" -- against abortion, parental notice, so-called "restorative-justice" programs, the supposed secularization of Christmas, etc. -- "know a lot more about 'American Idol' than they do about the progressive-secular movement and the effect it has on their lives."

O'Reilly does write amusingly, even if one doesn't agree with him, Mann admits.
