Pawn Stars star Chumlee has reduced the price on his Las Vegas home for a third time. He originally listed for $1.85 million, it’s now listed for $1.58 million.  The 6,505-square-foot home comes on a two acre lot, with five bedrooms, a pool, a bar, home theater and the “Chum Chum Room with Dance Pole.”  Police raided the house in 2016 and Chumlee was placed on three years probation after drugs and guns were found.  Since the raid, he has had weight loss surgery and become engaged.

A “Golden Girls” cereal has finally hit the market . . . just a little over 26 years since the show went off the air. It’s actually not one of those terrible high fiber/bran ones. It was put out by Funko, the company that makes those pop culture dolls with the big heads. It’s a Target exclusive, and it’s currently being rolled out at various locations. The box features the Funko-versions of all four characters . . . and the cereal itself is “multigrain,” and it looks a little like ALL-BLUE APPLE JACKS.  It’s $8, which is steep . . . but each box comes with a collectible toy. The name of the cereal is actually ‘Funko’s,’ and they’ve produced a whole line of these throw-back character cereals, some of which are already out.  Others include Gollum from “Lord of the Rings”, Mega Man, Jason Voorhees from “Friday the 13th”, and Freddy Krueger from “A Nightmare on Elm Street”. Each kind is exclusively available at a DIFFERENT store.

 

One of the writers of the original 1992 version of “Aladdin” says Disney doesn’t pay the original writers a single penny when they do live-action remakes, even though these guys ARE credited screenwriters on the new versions. He claims they wouldn’t even give him a Disney pass.

KIP MOORE is releasing “Room To Spare: The Acoustic Sessions” on November 16th. The “acoustic” idea came from fans who kept asking for it, and he kept hinting about it – until he finally made it happen. It features a stripped-down version of “Plead The Fifth” from his “Slowheart” album, plus six never-before-released tracks.  He brought in Charlie Worsham to help him write some of the new songs, including one called “It Ain’t California”. Kip wrote the first version a while back but hated the lyrics.  But Charlie loved the melody and wanted to do it.  They tossed around some ideas and then got inspiration from their  sadness over Tom Petty passing, which trailed into classic songs in general.  Kip also announced an acoustic mini-tour.  It’ll kick off November 29th in Milwaukee . . . and run through December 8th.  Dates are at KipMoore.net.
