Tattle: Lupita Nyong'o Oscars dress stolen
The 12 Years a Slave actress Calvin Klein pearl gown disappeared from her Hollywood Hotel. The Kardashians will earn $100 million from E! in the next four years.
NOT MANY women could pull off the backless pearl gown that Lupita Nyong'o wore to the Oscars.
But at least one criminal did. The morning after the big bash, the "12 Years a Slave" star left her Calvin Klein Collection dress, designed by Francisco Costa and made with 6,000 pearls over a whole month, in her room at Hollywood's The London West hotel.
When she returned that evening, the $150G frock had vanished.
Poof!
Cops were called. Videos were examined. At press time, the thief remained at large.
Temporary Tattle is no Agatha Christie (or even Angela Lansbury), but shouldn't someone keep an eye on Lindsay Lohan's next fashion faux pas? Wouldn't be surprised if she accessorized with the world's longest strand of pearls.
Case closed.
Keeping up with Komcastians
There's this saying about the rich. It's that they get . . .
Yesterday, Page Six reported that the Kardashians signed a $100 million-plus deal to keep "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" on at E! for four more years.
Four more years. Four more years . . . It's like they've been reelected to yet another term. Except instead of votes, they're getting large bills.
The deal pays Kim, Khloe, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, plus mastermind-money-mummy Kris Jenner. It also includes spin-off shows like the sure-to-be-Emmy-winning "Kourtney and Khloe take the Hamptons."
For the record, the Hamptons can have them.
Stepdad/dad Bruce Jenner won't get a cut of the stash. He's staying through season 10 before moving on for his own reality show about his gender transition. Because, well, because.
If the reports are true, the extended family will set reality TV earnings records. (Using the verb "earn" loosely here.)
By the way: Comcast owns E! So, when your cable bill skyrockets, send grateful tweets to the Jenner-Kardashians.
Not funny
It's been almost nine months since Tracy Morgan survived a multicar crash on the New Jersey Turnpike near Cranbury. Yesterday, he went back to Jersey, for more rehab. The "SNL" and "30 Rock" star walked with a cane and had trouble standing very long.
The six-vehicle accident, caused by a Walmart truck, claimed the life of Morgan's friend James McNair. It also broke Morgan's femur, nose and ribs, and caused a traumatic brain injury that kept him in the ICU for 10 days.
Morgan has filed a suit against Walmart for the accident. Walmart countersued, saying that Morgan wasn't wearing a seat belt and therefore somehow deserved what he got.
Ah, Walmart. The more devious of an international superpower you become, the more people shop with you. Keep that evil genius thing going. It's totally working for you.
Tatt-Wha?
* Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath is not dead. A report to the contrary was a hoax/ploy to promote his new comedy project. Tatt-also-not-funny?
