I know I’m a little late to the party on this one but, what goes around comes around.

Yesterday while we were enjoying the nudies of Barry Bonds ex-girl Kimberly Bell, I spoke briefly about her quest for 15 minutes of fame and money. Little did I know, just a week earlier Kimberly claimed her publicist stole the money Playboy paid her and then committed suicide. Bell’s accusations are supported by the fact that her publicist David Hans Schmidt was busted by the FBI for extorting Tom Cruise and faced huge legal troubles.

“Apparently the day after the funds went into his account, he was arrested by the FBI,” Bell told Stern on his show heard on Sirius satellite radio. “He used the funds for not only his bail, but his attorney and everything else.”

Bell said Schmidt had “a lot” of her money, but declined to give a specific number.

Bell said Schmidt accompanied her to Los Angeles for the Playboy photo shoot, but told her he was also “going to meet with Tom Cruise for the biggest deal of his life.” Undercover agents met with Schmidt as he offered to sell photos of Cruise’s nuptuials to actress Katie Holmes.

Somewhere, Barry Bonds is sipping his HGH margaritas watching re-runs of The Jeffersons with a smile on his face. ….I don’t blame him.
