We never get tired of saying Cher was right.  She often is.  She knew her son Elijah Blue Allman was headed down a bad path.  She was willing to piss him off and become his conservator.  She worried that money from his trust fund would be “immediately spent on drugs”.  Elijah said, “I recently passed a drug test and am willing to submit to future drug tests.  I am clean and sober from illicit substances…and am fully capable of and committed to managing the money I receive quarterly from the trust left by my late father.”  The judge ruled in his favor, saying there was “insufficient evidence”.  Perhaps the court would like to revisit this case.  Last month, Elijah was hospitalized by the police for acting “erratically”.  “Deputies located drugs inside the home and Allman was transported to the hospital.”  What will Cher do next?  Perhaps slap him and tell him to snap out of it!

You may have heard that the legendary Beck’s Motor Lodge in San Francisco will shut down at the end of 2025.  I’m told that many developers have attempted to buy the property, but no deal has been signed.  Didya know it’s a family business?  In 1958, Bill and Frances Beck opened up the establishment for truckers needing a place to stay in the Castro area (which is a whole other story).  Rooms were $5 a night.  The couple’s son Eddie was often seen sweeping the parking lot (which I believe is not a euphemism).  In 2010, Eddie’s daughter Brittney took over the day-to-day operations, oversaw a renovation, and has worked hard to keep the hotel current.

On the one-year anniversary of his death, Richard Simmons’ longtime partner has broken her silence.  Yes, I said her – because the partner in question is Teresa Reveles, his housekeeper.  In describing their relationship, Richard often said, “It’s almost like we’re a married couple.”  In an interview with Today, Teresa claims she was the only relationship that mattered in Richard’s life.  “He never loved anyone like me.  He was my lover – not sexually, but he kissed me all the time.”  Simmons’ estate in the Hollywood Hills just went on the market for $7 million.
