If you can, imagine Fran Fine from
The Nanny saying these words, "Oh my gawd..." because that's the voice in my head when I read that
Real Housewives'
Teresa Guidice is losing her New Jersey mansion to foreclosure.
The table-flipping mother of four, who was shown moving into the palatial, marble-laden manse during the first season of Bravo's

Somebody give Ed McMahon a job, please! There are more stories emerging about the
famous TV sidekick's financial woes, and it's just sad that he's in such dire straits.
Granted, he's not alone in these tough times -- and, yes, he has had millions in his time -- but the revelations that the former
Tonight Show star and
Star Search host is in money trouble strikes me as really unfortunate. And apparently that

The latest news is that

Ed McMahon possibly losing his Hollywood home spread across the airwaves. Surprisingly, there were many comments here that were downright unsympathetic to the former
Tonight Show sidekick. Apparently, people in show business are sympathetic.
Current Tonight Show host Jay Leno has vocally offered to help Ed with his financial problems.
Jay, who is in the last year of manning the desk that Johnny Carson manned for years with Ed right by his side, promises to come through for Ed. According to Leno's PR man, "Everybody loves Ed. Jay and others on the show are discussing how they can help him."

It's no secret that the country is in severe financial straits, especially people who are caught in the real estate merry-go-round where they find themselves unable to pay their monthly mortgage. Amazingly, someone as seemingly well-heeled and secure as Ed McMahon is one of those people struggling. Johnny Carson's sidekick on
The Tonight Show is on the verge of losing his Beverly Hills home through foreclosure.Published reports claim that
Ed McMahon's home on Mulholland Drive, part of the gated hilltop development called The Summit, has been on the market for sale since 2006. Unfortunately, moving real estate in a depressed market is very tough. Complicating matters for McMahon is the neighborhood, in particular, one neighbor:
Britney Spears.
