Spin Cycle presents another installment of "All the News That's Fit to Razz" ...

Fired Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards, 50, recently was arrested and charged with one count of petty theft, accused of attempting to steal more than 100 items valued at $612 from a Van Nuys, Calif., Target store. This after she's been in and out of rehab facilities since an April incident in which the former child star was charged with public intoxication, trespassing, resisting an officer and battery on a police officer. Included in the two Target carts of items Richards (who has grown children and no grandchildren) is charged with trying to steal were coloring books, stickers, school supplies and Animal Crackers.

Is there a show for Real Hoarders of Beverly Hills?

Actress Jennifer Aniston, 46, and actor Justin Theroux, 44, recently got married. Finally. The couple tied the knot in a secret A-list ceremony at their home after a three-year (!) engagement.

We were beginning to think they were just Friends.

Singer Taylor Swift, 25, recently gave some encouraging advice to a young fan who posted on social media that she was dreading her return to school, assuring her: "I hate that you're feeling this way and it's so hard not to dwell on our fears and doubts ... but in reality, we just have to go through life not knowing what's next. It's scary but it's also the wildest, most thrilling part of life."

Some better advice from Swift to an adolescent might have been: "Start a diary; turn that into song lyrics; learn some guitar; sing; get famous; date guys; break up; buy homes; buy more homes; write more songs; make friends; break up; write more songs; sell perfume; sell clothes; tour the world; and look forward to the 10th reunion."

The makers of the Ghostbusters reboot have confirmed the standout star that made the original 1984 movie a success will make an appearance in the forthcoming movie starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Chris Hemsworth, Michael K. Williams and Neil Casey that hits theaters in July of 2016.

Oh ... Bill Murray? Well, shoot. We were hoping for the supersized Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Actress Uma Thurman, 45, recently scolded the press for following her hearing with ex-fiance Arpad Busson over visitation rights to their 3-year-old daughter, Luna. "The press doesn't belong in Family Court," Thurman told reporters, adding, "You should respect people's privacy. Goodbye."

Well, Thurman didn't belong in Family Court either. The hearing actually took place at the Manhattan Supreme Court, blocks away from Family Court; both are open to the public.

At age 56, singer Madonna, whose six-month "Rebel Heart Tour" begins in September, told Entertainment Weekly she has hired an aide to act as the "food police," and ask her, "Are you eating? Did you drink enough water?"

Perhaps one of her boyfriends could have done the job. If they were old enough for work permits.

Fantastic Four bombed at the box office last weekend. The Marvel movie opened with just $26.2 million in its opening weekend -- that's less than half of what its two predecessors made on their openings. And it's a pretty puny amount for a modern superhero movie, let alone one that cost $120 million to make.

So Fantastic Four's performance was not so fantastic. And apparently only four people saw it.
