Sideshow: McMahons face foreclosure

Ed McMahon

, 85, and his wife,

Pamela

, may join the 156,000 American families who have lost their homes to bank repossessions this year. According to the Wall Street Journal, McMahon, who began his TV career in Philly in the 1950s before hitting it big as

Johnny Carson

's straight man, is $644,000 behind on a $4.8 mil loan for his six-bedroom Beverly Hills home, which has been on the market for two years. (It's listed for $6.25 mil.) The WSJ says a unit of Countrywide Financial filed a notice of default on McMahon's loan on Feb. 28.

McMahon's rep,

Howard Bragman

, says the former

Star Search

host is in "very fruitful discussions" with the lender to resolve the situation. Bragman said since McMahon broke his neck 18 months ago, he's been unable to work at his steady gig as the pitchman for the American Family Publishers' sweepstakes. "There are plenty of people affected by the weak economy, bad housing market, or bad health," Bragman said.Lily: Oh, dear . . .

Lily Allen

, who had to be carried out of the Glamour Awards in London Tuesday night because she was

sooo

inebriated, yesterday apologized on her MySpace blog.

"Oh, dear," the dear writes. "i got very drunk [Tuesday] night, too drunk. It's not cool getting that drunk."

Could any institution be a better judge of parenting skills than a Las Vegas nightclub?

So, it's with great pleasure (and awe) that we report that Privé at Planet Hollywood has named

Kevin Federline

father of the year.

How will K-Fed mark the honor? By visiting kids at schools around Vegas? Hanging out at a pediatric hospital ward?

Heck, no. He's slated to host a party at the club on Friday the 13th, which also happens to be the Friday before Father's Day.

Eliza Roberts also chimed in. "People should understand: It's not like [Clay is] the donor and she's the surrogate," she said. "These are two people who made a very loving decision to have a baby together." Clay's journey as a daddy will begin sometime in August.

In an ad in Backstage mag, Ryan says he's looking for single guys who "have a unique and strong relationship" with their mothers. Prepare to be humiliated, Ryan notes.

Bruce Willis

' role in

Kane & Lynch

, the film adaptation of popular vid game

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

, sure sounds like a doozy. He'll star as "Adam 'Kane' Marcus, a soldier of fortune on death row who's freed by his old mercenary buddies along with a schizophrenic killer named James Lynch," to put it in E!Online's words. So after they're out, Marcus and psycho-killer dude must "set out on a dangerous mission to recover a stolen microchip and save Kane's wife and daughter."

Got that?
