WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED TO JOANIE CUNNINGHAM?
Erin Moran was just 14 when she signed on to play Joanie Cunningham, the feisty little sister of Richie Cunningham in the hit Seventies show Happy Days.
But while child actor Ron Howard, who played Richie, has since gone on to become an A-list Hollywood producer and director, his on-screen 'sister' has fallen on much harder times.
Moran, 51, was photographed looking worse for wear outside a Holiday Inn in Corydon, Indiana, after reportedly being kicked out of the trailer she shared with her husband Steve Fleischmann.
RadarOnline.com is reporting that Erin was kicked out of the trailer she'd been sharing with her husband Steve by his mother, who was tired of her 'hard-partying ways'.The National Enquirer reported back in June that the couple had moved into the 'rundown trailer park' after losing their California home to foreclosure.
'Erin was going out to bars and coming home at all hours of the night, sometimes with her rowdy bar friends, and Steve's mom just couldn't take it anymore,' a source told The National Enquirer.
The publication claimed Erin is now 'bouncing' from motel to motel - most recently a Holiday Inn Express in Corydon, Indiana.
In the photographs, taken about two weeks ago, Moran - who has not aged well - is seen walking in a grey T-shirt and plaid shorts, a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.
She stands outside the motel with her husband Steve, who is also smoking, both of them looking worse for wear.
In other shots, Moran sits smoking with another man on a bench with two Great Danes.
Moran played fresh-faced Joanie in the sitcom Happy Days, which started in 1974 and ran for almost a decade. She continued the role in 1982 in the short-lived spinoff Joanie Loves Chachi, alongside Scott Baio, until its cancellation the following year.
Since then, Moran's career has all but stalled, with the exception of several television guest spots, and an appearance in the 2007 independent comedy feature Not Another B Movie.
In 2008, she was a contestant on VH1's reality show Celebrity Fit Club.
Moran and her husband are understood to be living off a dwindling sum of money which was the result of a payout springing from a lawsuit filed by several Happy Days cast members in April 2011.
All washed up: The aging actress has not worked in a long time, having last appeared in Celebrity Fit Club 2008
The aging actress and three of her Happy Days co-stars, Don Most, Anson Williams and Marion Ross, plus the estate of Tom Bosley, who died in 2010, filed a $10 million breach-of-contract lawsuit against CBS, which owns the show.
The suit claimed that cast members had not been paid for merchandising revenues owed under their contracts.
In July 2012, the actors settled their lawsuit with CBS. Each received a payment of $65,000 and a promise by CBS to continue honoring the terms of their contracts.

Stevie Wonder Blackmailers Sentenced to Jail

Matt Barnes & Gloria Govan GET MARRIED...And Do Pre-Wedding Shoot In ROLLING OUT Magazine
The twosome had a secret wedding in Vegas over the weekend. The "Basketball Wives LA" on-and-off couple Gloria Govan and Matt Barnes are indeed now husband and wife....a set of twins, a couple reality show seasons and several breakup-to-makeups later.
But before they jetted off to Vegas, the duo shot a cover and spread for the new issue of Rolling Out magazine. And according to Gloria's interview answers, the two had no real wedding plans at the time of the shoot...so she says....
Gloria Govan finally got what she wanted....Clippers baller Matt Barnes as her husband and not just her babies' daddy. The twosome wed in Vegas this past weekend at the Little Church of the West as her sister Laura and her man Gilbert Arenas were by their side. And her parents were flown in last minute for the surprise wedding as well.
According to the Las Vegas Review, Matt's teammate DeAndre Jordan was his best man, and fellow ballers Chris Paul and Blake Griffin were there as well. This explains why all the couples were partying it up back in L.A. this past Sunday at Chris' GQ cover event.
In the Rolling Out cover story released today and done before the weekend nuptials, Gloria said the two def want to get married, but gave the impression no plans had been made at that time. She did say it wouldn't be a big fiasco. So I guess a quickie Vegas wedding qualifies for "non big fiasco." Here are the highlights from both of their interviews:
Gloria Govan
On Her 8-Month Break From Matt: “I grew so much over those eight months. Now I have to be like, 'Uh uh, I know I used to like that because you liked it but I said all that to be cute for you! I don’t like eggs mother---!’” “So now he’s really getting to now me. That’s fun.”
On Marrying Matt: “It’s not that we’re not interested; it’s just not now,” says a pre-wedding Govan. “I don’t think it’ll be what people are expecting. I’ll probably be like ‘hey, I got married girl,’ wanna come to the party? I’ll probably send out a flyer for the party."
On A Non Traditional Wedding: "Matt’s a traditionalist so he’ll want a big wedding. Which I would do [for him], but it won’t be like a Kim Kardashian wedding. It’ll be like, ‘you want some barbecue?’ I’ll take cereal. Marriage is something I want to do it’s just not on my number one priority list."
On The Possibility Of Another Baby: “Maybe, don’t tell him I said this…maybe another baby. If it was up to him... (rolls eyes)...I get baby fever and then I see a baby and I’m like ‘awww’ and then they start crying and I’m like, ‘Yeah! I don’t have anymore!’”
On Previously Saying She’d Like To Slap Evelyn Lozada: "Absolutely [I stick by that.] My feelings are what they are to Evelyn, I don't like to kick anyone while they're down but...I think they’re a cute couple I honestly do [Chad and Evelyn] and I know Chad really loves her. Mainly I hope they keep people out of their relationship. That’s what I’ve had to do."
On co-star Jackie Christie: “Jackie Christie has a mouth piece on her, she’ll make a paraplegic feel bad for her. The way way she kind of suckers you in with her words; she’ll give you so many compliments to the point that you’re like ‘damn, okay!’ [extends arms] Give me a hug girl! She’s someone you have to accept, she’s like a beauty mark or a birthmark. It’s like ‘damn that sh--- terrible, but it’s there. You work around it."
Matt Barnes:
On Why Lamar Odom Comparisons Are Unfair: "I’ve been a sidepiece to ‘Basketball Wives'. I’ve never been a main character so to speak. This season I’m completely not in the show. I think for the sake of our relationship it was best to fall back and not put our stuff out there like before for people to pick and pry through. This time around we’re gonna do what works for us and not what society wants us to do.”
On His 8 Month Break From Gloria: "We love each other. As a young couple you need to experience stuff and live your life and do things sometimes on your own. I understood that and she understood that. It was a small break that was hard but at the time was needed. It brought us closer together and we’re a lot stronger now."

Pink Scores First US #1 Album / Exceeds Sales Expectations
Reaching six albums is a feat few artists ever achieve; a fact which renders Pink‘s performance on the Billboard 200 this week even more remarkable.
For, the Pop rebel has hit the #1 spot for the for first time in her 12 year career with her sixth studio album, ‘The Truth About Love’.
Initially earmarked for opening sales in the region of 220,000, the set blazed past expected estimates to shift a hefty 280,000 units in its premiere week according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Not only does the LP earn the honor of serving as her first chart-topper on home soil, it also stands as her biggest first week debut. Prior to now, 2001′s ‘M!ssundaztood’ held that title after selling 220,000 copies first week to land at #6.
And as if that wasn’t enough, ‘The Truth About Love’ now becomes the third-biggest debut this year, following Justin Bieber‘s ‘Believe’ (374,000) and Madonna‘s ‘MDNA’ (359,000).
Led by ‘Blow Me (One Last Kiss)’, the album was also preceded by a major promotional push from the likes of Target, who cultivated an “exclusive special edition” of the LP – which they also plugged with a television spot. Amazon also sold the album at a special discount price of $5.
On the performance front, Pink rocked out on the 2012 MTV VMA’s, Today Show, Ellen, and the iHeart Radio Festival.
The moral of story? When great talent, meets great songs that are handled by a great team, great things happen!
Congrats to Pink!
Sidenote: In other chart news, G.O.O.D Music‘s much-hyped ‘Cruel Summer’ bowed at #2 with impressive sales of 205,000.
