Actress Tawny Kitaen has been charged with felony drug possession after sheriff’s deputies said they found cocaine in her San Juan Capistrano apartment. Authorities say deputies responding to a request for a welfare check in May found 15 grams of cocaine in Kitaen’s apartment. Authorities say her two children were home at the time, and Kitaen had given deputies permission for the search. Kitaen was arrested in 2002 on charges she abused then-husband, former Angels pitcher Chuck Finley. She agreed to anger management and conflict resolution counseling in exchange for the dismissal of two misdemeanor counts of spousal abuse. Kitaen is best known for her role opposite Tom Hanks in the 1984 comedy "Bachelor Party."
CBS is giving "The Amazing Race" the all-star treatment. Net Tuesday confirmed the upcoming 11th edition of the Emmy-winning reality skein, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Bertram van Munster, will feature cast members from previous cycles of the show. Production on "The Amazing Race: All-Stars" began last week in Miami and will premiere in first-quarter 2007. "Race" becomes the third CBS unscripted skein to go all-star. "Survivor" began the trend a few years ago, while "Big Brother" followed suit last summer. A CBS spokesman confirmed the all-star nature of the next "Race" but declined comment on which past cast members will return. However, insiders said Rob and Amber — who appeared on "Race" after appearing on two editions of "Survivor" — will be given another shot at the top prize. Duo have wrapped lensing on their upcoming Fox Reality Channel skein, "Rob and Amber: Against the Odds," which debuts in January. They are expected to square off against Joyce and Uchenna, their two chief opponents in season seven of "Race." Latter team narrowly won that edition. Also lacing up again: David and Mary, the plain-spoken coalminer and his wife from Kentucky. Not expected on the "All-Star" race: Jonathan and Victoria, the feuding couple whose antics landed them on a Dr. Phil primetime special. Chip and Kim, two of the most popular former "Race" cast members, won’t appear either. Most editions of the "Race" are expected to be represented on the all-star edition, save for the much-panned family edition.
Contrary to published reports, the investigation into the death of Anna Nicole’s son is far from over. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that the Attorney General of the Bahamas ordered police to re-interview Howard K. Stern regarding the painkiller methadone, and how it ended up in the late Daniel Wayne Smith’s system. Daniel died September 10 in his mother’s hospital room, just days after she gave birth to a baby girl. An autopsy revealed that Daniel had a lethal combination of drugs in his system, including methadone and several antidepressants. Sources in the Bahamas tell TMZ that Royal Bahamas Police interviewed Stern two weeks ago. It’s not the first time Stern has been interviewed. Law enforcement sources say Stern and Anna Nicole were both interviewed several times after Daniel’s death. We’re told that law enforcement officials will make a major announcement about the investigation by December 15.
