The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards is characterized as needy and fragile on TV and Star has uncovered one of the reasons why the former child star is so sensitive. Her former fiancé was murdered!
In our Nov. 15 issue, we reveal Kim was on the phone with her 29-year-old lover, securities broker John Collett, moments before he was shot and killed on Oct. 28, 1991, in what investigators later discovered was a murder-for-hire plot. Gunned down in broad daylight on a California street, police believe John was targeted for his part in a massive $150 million telemarketing fraud case. His killer is serving a sentence of 30 years to life in state prison.
“John’s murder was a devastating tragedy, and Kim was just torn apart,” John’s mother, Janis Collett, tells Star exclusively. “Poor Kim had to identify his body. It was a horrible nightmare for her. I’ve never recovered from the loss, and I don’t think Kim has either.”

NBC is pulling the plug on J.J. Abrams’ spy series “Undercovers”, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The network is declining to pick up a full season of the show.
Undercovers will air three more episodes in the coming weeks. The addition three episodes in the can “will likely” air at some point, but there’s no date set.
“Undercovers” broke the mold by casting two black leads as the show’s main characters. But middling reviews and declining ratings made the show increasingly destined for the chopping block. Last night’s airing only delivered 5.8 million viewers and a 1.3 adult demo rating.
Usually when the first poster for a movie is revealed, it means the film is coming soon. That unfortunately might not be the case for director Jodie Foster’sThe Beaver, starring Mel Gibson from a script by Kyle Killen. The script was number one on the 2008 Black List and is about a man who finds a beaver puppet in the garbage and decides to communicate only using the beaver. Stars like Steve Carell and Jim Carrey hovered around the project, but when Gibson took over the lead role, the film reached a whole other level. It would be only the second film for the Oscar-winner since spewing anti-Semetic remarks in a drunken tirade. But then, just as that incident was seemingly forgotten and the film was finishing, Gibson found himself in hot water again after leaving his girlfriend violent voicemails with racial slurs. Jump to the present and Gibson is once again untouchable. His Leonardo DiCaprio Viking movie went away as did his cameo in The Hangover Part II.
