Bob Dylan is one of the biggest legends still living and creating today. He was such a fixture in the 60's peace and love movement that his name is nearly synonymous with folk singing.
In 1969 Bob was recovering from a motorcycle accident and laid up in the icon town of Woodstock NY. He had just started working on his lifelong love of painting. And while there he ran into a mystic named Sandy LePanto who offered astrology readings in exchange for a piece he just completed.
That piece just sold at auction from a Dylan record sale price of $196,156.
"Sandy was not only one of the most beautiful women in Woodstock at a time when there were many; she was a mystic, a channeler, a reader of stars and maker of astrology charts for her friends,” says Anne Margaret Daniel, a literary scholar and historian who is writing a series of essays on Dylan, in the lot listing. “The old arts community of Woodstock worked on the barter system then, and to a degree still does today; people trading their expertise and creative output, rather than exchanging money.”
Since that fateful trade, the painting has remained with LePanto’s family. It was recently rediscovered in the estate of LePanto’s ex-husband, Anthony Lepanto.
I LOVE this piece. Love it.

Details are scarce and there is much speculation. We here at the Beet feel like we can draw our own conclusions as well. But here's what we know for sure.
Johnny Wactor, a long time veteran of TV soap General Hospital, was shot and killed Saturday in a Los Angeles when he confronted thieves breaking into his car, according to TMZ. He was 37.
Wactor's mother Scarlett said that her son was leaving his job at a rooftop bar with a co-worker in the early hours of Saturday morning when he saw three men appearing to steal his catalytic converter.
Johnny, Scarlett said, thought that his vehicle was getting towed and tried to approach them to get further details.
One of the suspects was wearing a mask. When he heard Wactor, he looked up and then shot him, she told ABC7.

Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, an Oscar nominee whose most famous works skewered America's food industry and who notably ate only at McDonald’s for a month to illustrate the dangers of a fast-food diet, has died. He was 53.
Spurlock died Thursday in New York from complications of cancer, according to a statement issued Friday by his family.
“It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan,” Craig Spurlock, who worked with him on several projects, said in the statement. “Morgan gave so much through his art, ideas, and generosity. The world has lost a true creative genius and a special man. I am so proud to have worked together with him.”
Spurlock made a splash in 2004 with his groundbreaking film “Super Size Me,” which was nominated for an Academy Award. The film chronicled the detrimental physical and psychological effects of Spurlock eating only McDonald’s food for 30 days. He gained about 25 pounds, saw a spike in his cholesterol and lost his sex drive.
“Everything’s bigger in America,” he said in the film. “We’ve got the biggest cars, the biggest houses, the biggest companies, the biggest food, and finally: the biggest people.”
In one scene, Spurlock showed kids a photo of George Washington and none recognized the Founding Father. But they all instantly knew the mascots for Wendy’s and McDonald’s.
The film grossed more than $22 million on a $65,000 budget and preceded the release of Eric Schlosser’s influential “Fast Food Nation,” which accused the industry of being bad for the environment and rife with labor issues.

Jennifer Tilly is best know for two rolls. She's the bride of Chucky and the voice of Bonnie Swanson on Family Guy. She's also a legit poker player and back in 2005 she won the Ladies-Only No Limit Texas Hold 'Em event at the World Series of Poker.
Her next move? To Bravoland and the magical world of wealthy Housewives of Beverly Hills.
And she's no stranger to the high falutin life the BH wives enjoy. Till was married to Sam Simon, the creator of The Simpsons, back in the 80's and she receives 30% of his Simpsons proceeds every year. That's millions annually.
Tilly was seen palling around with Sutton Stracke last season and in season 14, Tilly is officially joining the cast as a friend.
I'm stoked for this. She's a hoot.

The disgusting video of an entitled, rage-filled Sean Combs beating Cassie was only the latest in the horrible saga of Diddy disaster. And one of the people who's been sounding the alarm about him for years is 50 Cent.
And for the last few months 50 has been talking about his coming documentary about Diddy and how it was gonna "Break records when this drops"... only problem? No one was entirely sure there was a documentary. Or were these just threats to make Diddy nervous. Well there's no question now.
Netflix has won the bid (after a bidder war, we're told) to show the film. It's not sure if it'll be a multi episode series or a one off film, but word it the docu will be ready to drop as soon as late summer.

It's one of the most famous homes in all of the United States. Graceland is where Elvis lived, had his daughter, died. All of it. And it's been a busy museum ever since.
So folks were shocked to learn the company that owns the mansion is selling is at auction this Thusrday, May 23rd.
Now actress Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis, is suing to stop the sale.
Riley's lawyers filed this month claim that a company planning to auction off Graceland is fraudulently claiming that her mother — Elvis’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, who died in 2023 — had borrowed money and put Graceland up as collateral. The papers say that the company, Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC, “appears to be a false entity” and that the documents it presented about the loan were also fake.
She is asking that the court grant a restraining order against Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC, “or any party acting in concert” with them “from conducting any non-judicial sale of the property.”
This is a mess. I hope Riley is correct and is able to save it. It's a Memphis institution.

There have been rumors gallor swirling about the inevitable demise of Ben and Jen's 2 year marriage. And I don't take delight in saying that. But it is what it is.
The pair haven't been seen in public in nearly 2 months, which is a big departure from the near daily PDA they would show for the majority of their relationship.
And now TMZ is reporting the photo above is Ben leaving a home he's been crashing at ALONE. Sans JLo. No wifey in sight.
In addition to that, JLo herself drew speculation when she "liked" a post about unhealthy relationships.
These two had a long relationship almost 25 years ago and found each other all this time later and I think I really thought it might last. But lord knows JLo has a reputation for being high key diva and Ben is forever struggling with depression and addiction. I imagine that's a powder keg of a relationship.

If you didn't know, Benediktas Gylys, a Lithuanian artist, created a sort of portal from New York City to Dublin. He did this via a live stream link in the center of times square and somewhere in Dublin Ireland.
And for a few days it was good. But how you expected New Yorkers and the rowdy Irish to keep themselves in check is crazy. And just a few days into the experiment the device was shut down. A woman from New Jersey had flashed her breasts.
That wasn't the only thing, of course. Dubliners were said to be showing pictures of 9/11 and other gross attention seeking pranks. But the breasts, as they ofter are, were the tipping point. And now Ava Louise, the only fans model, says she is getting death threats.
"The people all around the portal at the time had a great reaction and were very encouraging - full of laughter!" she explained.
'Now, people aren't too happy. I'm receiving thousands of death threats.
'I just wanted my boobs to be international! Honestly, boobs are harmless.'
The model and TikTok star continued: 'Being topless in NYC is legal and the shutdown wasn't entirely my responsibility.
'I'm sure the world has noted there were more heinous things displayed by other people in the portal.
'Plus, Elon Musk replied to a tweet about it - now he has seen my boobies!'
The portal was launched on May 8 as an invitation to meet people 'above borders and differences,' said Benediktas.
'The livestream provides a window between distant locations, allowing people to meet outside of their social circles and cultures, transcend geographical boundaries, and embrace the beauty of global interconnectedness.'
The Dublin portal is set to eventually be connected with other destinations, including Poland, Brazil and Lithuania.

Everyone's favorite legal eagle is getting a bit of a make over for streaming! At Tuesdays upfronts for Amazon MGM studios, Reese Witherspoon herself took the stage to make the announcement.
Currently titled 'Elle,' the show is a prequel that follows our blonde hero in high school.
The description says Elle “follows Elle Woods in high school as we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman we came to know and love in the first ‘Legally Blonde’ film.”
“I truly couldn’t be more excited about this series! Fans will get to know how Elle Woods navigated her world as a teenager with her distinct personality and ingenuity, in ways that only our beloved Elle could do. What could be better than that?!” said Witherspoon in a statement. “I’m extremely grateful to the incredible teams at Prime Video and Hello Sunshine – along with our amazing writer Laura Kittrell – for making this dream of mine come true. ‘Legally Blonde’ is back!”
The only issue with a prequel set in high school is how quickly it will catch up to her college years where the film picks up. You sort of cut yourself short on run time. Still, it's very exciting!

It's been a hot minute since Ellen Degeneres has made us laugh over our mid day dance break. Her eponymous show ended in 2022 after the unpleasantness of the pandemic made people feel she had lost touch with the people.
But her stand up career will go on, apparently. This will mark Degeneres’ second special for the platform, on the heels of 2018’s Relatable.
“There is nobody quite like Ellen,” stated Robbie Praw, VP of Stand-Up and Comedy Formats at Netflix. “She is a true legend and pioneer in so many ways. We can’t wait to bring fans another one of her hilarious comedy specials later this year.”
Stated Degeneres, “To answer the questions everyone is asking me – Yes, I’m going to talk about it. Yes this is my last special. Yes, Portia really is that pretty in real life.”
