Ingrid bergman scandal, Through some undergrad film class, ennui-filled trip home, TCM-channel surfing, or a foray into dating a cinephile, I’m guessing you’ve seen Casablanca, Notorious, Bells of St. Mary, Joan of Arc, or the rather unfortunate adaptation of For Whom the Bell Tolls, all of which star Ingrid Bergman. What you probably don’t know, unless your grandparents were really into telling you which stars were actually trollops (Dear Lana Turner, my granddad thought you showed too much skin!), is that the woman who starred in these films, Ingrid Bergman, endured a scandal that was larger, and had more profound effects, than Tiger Woods' and Tom Cruise's scandals combined. The story is pretty straightforward: Ingrid Bergman was born in Sweden, married a much older doctor, had a child, and attracted notice for her Swedish films. David O. Selznick (the producer behind Gone with the Wind) went over to Sweden and shipped her straight to Hollywood. When Bergman arrived in Holly...

Robertino, Isabella and Ingrid Rossellini, A Look Back" is a daily column that highlights a moment from fashion's fabulous past. Today's pick is a photo of model turned actress Isabella Rosselini with her sister Ingrid Rossellini from February 19th, 1971. The two Italian-born stunners were sitting in the audience of the play, "Captain Brassbound's Conversation," in which their mother, Ingrid Bergman, was starring. Wish we could have been there.

Ingrid bergman and roberto rossellini, Less than a decade after playing Ilsa in Casablanca's fictional love triangle, Ingrid Bergman was starring in her very own one. Her affair with Italian director Roberto Rossellini — they were working together on the film Stromboli — would give them a child and America a scandal. Bergman and her husband, Dr. Petter Lindstrom, divorced, and her Hollywood career stalled during the first half of the 1950s. The vitriol against Bergman was even heard on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Bergman and Rossellini had two more children together but the marriage didn't last. Around the same time they divorced, the actress went back to winning Oscars.

Tiki barber snubbed by NFL, NBC's Peter King had a sad report about his former Football Night in America co-star Tiki Barber over the weekend. King wrote Barber is "devastated" that not a single NFL club called him or agent Mark Lepselter as the former star running back attempts a comeback for the 2011 season. Barber was a hot TV commodity when he retired from the New York Giants after the 2006 season. After talking with ESPN, he joined NBC where he appeared with King as a studio analyst on NBC's Sunday night program and served as a correspondent for NBC's top-rated Today Show. But Barber's anticipated TV career fizzled out. He was moved out of the Football Night in America studio and turned into a sideline reporter. The network didn't renew his contract after the 2010 season. Even worse, Barber's personal life became tabloid fodder when it was reported he'd left pregnant wife Ginny for former NBC intern Traci Lynn Johnson. Barber is now engaged to...

Traci johnson and tiki barber, Traci Lynn Johnson still doesn’t understand why people hate her so much. She’s still got so little remorse about removing Tiki Barber from his pregnant wife two years ago that she unabashedly posed topless for a nightlife magazine last week. It was an eyeful for Metropolis Nights editor Chaunce Hayden, who managed to recover and ask the pulled-taffy temptress about her naysayers. “I have a lot more haters than I do lovers,” confessed Traci Lynn, who married the New York Giants running back-turned-commentator last month. Imagine that — surprise from the woman who trysted with Barber in his agent’s attic, a liaison that the gridiron recordbreaker himself revealed in Sports Illustrated, knowing full well his wife Ginny, the mother of his two sons, was expecting twins. Barber filed for divorce in April 2010; Ginny delivered two beautiful girls in May.But the chaos wreaked on the family by her and Barber is not something to be deeply ashamed of, but the result...

Tiki barber  traci johnson married, For her City Hall wedding to Tiki Barber in New York City Thursday, Traci Lynn Johnson kept it casual. The blonde beauty wore her long locks down and donned a short, lacy, white Sue Wong sundress to exchange vows with the former NFL star. She carried a small purple-and-white bouquet for the occasion; Barber, 37, color-coordinated in a gray suit, lavender button-down and violet tie. The pair celebrated their nuptials that night with pals, hitting NYC hot spots Le Cirque for dinner, and the dance floor at Catch afterwards. "Many thanks to the NYC Clerk's office, especially James Mitchell, who married me to my love Traci Lynn Johnson!" Barber tweeted. "Excited for the next chapters . . . " This is the former New York Giants player's second marriage; Barber left his wife of 11 years, Ginny Cha, in April 2010 while she was pregnant with their twins. (The onetime couple have two older children as well: sons A.J., 10, and Chason,...

Brenda heist, Missing Since 2002, Pennsylvania Mother Brenda Heist Resurfaces In Florida A Pennsylvania mother who had been legally declared dead after vanishing in 2002 has recently been discovered in Florida, telling authorities a sudden impulse led her to hitchhike to the state with a group of homeless drifters. Brenda Heist, 54, was last seen in 2002 after dropping her children off at school. At the time, Heist was going through an amicable divorce and had recently been turned down by housing assistance – an act that reportedly led her into a state of despair. On Wednesday, Heist told authorities she had survived for much of the past decade by sleeping under bridges, scavenging for food, and panhandling. John Schfield, a detective in the southeastern community Heist originally disappeared from, said the mother of two expressed shame and apologized repeatedly for what her family endured in her absence. "She has a birth certificate and a death certificate so she's got a long...
