Sideshow: Stedman Graham, cover boy (sort of)

Posted: March 10, 2012

Well, this is nice. Know how, usually, the only person who gets to be on the cover of Oprah Winfrey's O magazine is Oprah? Well, she does a rare share in the new ish of O: Stedman Graham, the mysterious (some say mythical, but that's mean) man of her world. (Well, all you see is his right hand, but if you open the gatefold . . . hi, Stedman!) It's also the inaugural food issue, and Sted-G and Oprah talk about how they manage the kitchen at their place. The cover shows them lovingly holding a sandwich together.

Shed, sweet shed

Andy Dick is living in a shed, reports Huffingtonpost.com. Two years now. The star of NewsRadio resides in the backyard of the house in Southern California's Topanga Canyon where his ex-gf, Lina Sved, and their kids live. On Biography's Celebrity House Hunting, AD gave us a tour of his palatial shack, even showing us his makeshift, um, comfort station. He's hunting for a house for all of them.

Splitsville

TMZ sez Dennis Quaid's wife, Kimberly Buffington-Quaid, has filed for divorce. Why? "Conflict of personalities." No "reasonable expectation of reconciliation." OK. She's asking for fair division of assets; he wants her to leave with pockets light. They were married in 2004 and have two surrogate-born children together, 4-year-old twins Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace. It's strike three for Dennis, after having shed P.J. Soles wifewise in 1983 and the beloved Meg Ryan in 2001.

Musical money makers

Wyomissing warbler Taylor Swift made more money in 2011 than any other musical performer in the U.S., proclaims Billboard mag. Swift's take topped $35 million, according to a Billboard list released Friday. U2 came in second with $32 million, followed by Kenny Chesney ($30 mil), Lady Gaga ($25 mil), and Lil Wayne ($23 mil). Artists' rankings were based on U.S. income sources from tours, album sales, and publishing royalties.

Kris' crises

Kris Humphries has no luck, yo. He marries Kim Kardashian, when we could have told him that mess'd go up in smoke in a hurry. We gave it 72 days. And look: right on the button! Seriously, the poor guy gets booed throughout the NBA, as if the split with KK was all his fault and he's the bad guy and that. And he gets paid only $8 million a year. And now he has to do the L.A. celebrity divorce-court thing. Kim has hired lawyer/dragonlady/I'm-scairt-of-her Laura Wasser, who's got clients like Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie. And Kris can't get a lawyer. California law says his Minnesota-based business lawyer can't rep him, so he hired another dude, who backed out, leading to rumors K-Hump would rep himself. But he's no fool. He's lawyer-shopping. Good luck, man: You'll need the Iron Man of divorce lawyers.

Shia unshaven

What is Shia LaBeouf's beard? The most profitable actor in Hollywood (according to Forbes, always busily figgering such stuff), the Man With the Vowels has evolved a street look for the hippie bunch, with slicked-back hair and Methuselah beard, and he was photo'd by TMZ as he sauntered down the sidewalk in L.A., looking nothing like himself.
