Last but not least: Mama Bohlen takes the cake

 "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" (DSDS) seems to be turning out to be a real goldmine for the Bohlen family: Not only does Dieter receive a considerable fee for his work as a juror - no, now mom Edith's cash registers are ringing too. She cheerfully took part in the DSDS telephone competition on Wednesday. And won a whopping 10,000 euros, as RTL spokeswoman Anke Eickmeyer confirmed to DWDL.de. Coincidences do happen...And anyone who thinks that's not possible is wrong: there are no legal problems with Edith Bohlen's participation. As usual, RTL employees and their relatives are excluded from taking part in this competition. But there is no employment relationship between RTL and Dieter Bohlen - lucky for Mrs. Bohlen, she certainly knows how to spend the money wisely. And we are also happy for son Dieter: he already has to fight with the Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media because of his "tough Bohlen slogans" - we don't want to put him through any more trouble with the paragraphs.
Despite its legal correctness, a strange aftertaste somehow remains.
