No wonder they decided to give Courtney a drug test. :eek:

COURTNEY LOVE REPORTEDLY FAILS DRUG TEST (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2005/08/11/ddish.DTL)

Troubled rocker Courtney Love's life has hit more turbulence, with Los Angeles authorities declaring she has failed a drug test and violated her probation.

Los Angeles Superior Court judge Rand Rubin issued a bench warrant for the former Hole frontwoman Wednesday, ordering her to return to court on August 19 for a review of her rehab reports.

The judge then told her attorney, "(Do) something to solve Love's problem, or we're going to give her a year (in prison)."

Love -- who recently announced that she's "clean and sober" -- could also potentially lose custody of Frances Bean Cobain, her 12-year-old daughter with late husband Kurt Cobain.

Deputy district attorney Gina Satriano says 41-year-old Love failed a drug test when she was hospitalized in July after fainting during a party at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel.

At the time, Love's attorney, Michael Rosenstein, announced that Love was "living a drug-free life."

In February, Love was sentenced to three years' probation and anger management counseling after pleading no contest to misdemeanor assault on a woman at the home of her former boyfriend.

PALTROW BLASTS SEXIST HOLLYWOOD (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2005/08/12/ddish.DTL)

Screen beauty Gwyneth Paltrow has slammed Hollywood as an old-fashioned industry run solely by men.

The Oscar-winning actress detests the way female writers, directors and actors are marginalized by chauvinistic producers and insists Hollywood is miles behind the rest of the world.

She also is infuriated by movies that celebrate men's sexual prowess, but neglect female sexuality.

She says, "The men in Hollywood make it hard for women. I really believe that. What it means is that it's kind of like the old-boy industries. It's mostly run by men.

"A lot of women writers in Hollywood write from their own experience and those experiences get so kind of homogenized (by producers) that what started as a core idea from somebody's life often becomes a movie that you've seen a number of times.

"There's no reason why, if there's 'Wedding Crashers' for boys, there can't be something really funny yet intelligent for women, that has something to say for women."

DIAZ WANTS TO ADOPT

Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz yearns for a baby and is considering adopting a needy child to bestow her love upon.

The stunning star, 32, agrees she's at the perfect age for motherhood, but especially loves the idea of following in Angelina Jolie's footsteps and bringing a loving home to children.

Jolie has adopted two children from orphanages in Cambodia and Ethiopia.

She says, "I would love a family. I'm at the age where the wish for a child gets stronger. But who knows.

"I think there are a lot of children out there who need families, so I wouldn't be opposed to adopting some kids.

"Bringing them in, giving them some love."

Diaz has been dating pop heartthrob Justin Timberlake since May 2003.

VAUGHN DASHES HOPES OF ANISTON ROMANCE

Funnyman Vince Vaughn finally has ended speculation he's dating Jennifer Aniston -- by confessing he couldn't have a serious relationship with the actress because he's addicted to one-night stands.

Vaughn is currently filming "The Break Up" with the former "Friends" beauty in Chicago and has been photographed kissing and cuddling Aniston on set.

But the actor is furious about claims he would take advantage of the 36-year-old beauty so soon after her January split from husband Brad Pitt and insists he could never restrict himself to one woman anyway.

Aniston has also denied the rumors, insisting they are just good friends.

He says, "I've never been that big on having to go home with the same girl every night."

Vaughn is also friends with Pitt, and made a cameo appearance alongside Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- who are rumored to be enjoying a romance -- in Doug Liman's box office smash "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."

TOWNSEND THROWS THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY BASH FOR THERON

Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron got a 30th birthday to remember on August 6, when her beau Stuart Townsend threw a lavish party for her in Malibu, Calif.

The bash, which took place at the beauty's home, featured immense bouquets of flowers, champagne and a host of gifts for the birthday girl.

While the 75 guests at the get-together made the most of the white couches arranged on the beach, Theron comfortably sat on Townsend's lap for the night.

From www.MSNBC.com ...
Demi and Ashton trying for a baby?
42-year-old actress says she has no plans to marry 27-year-old boyfriend

The Associated Press
Updated: 10:53 a.m. ET Aug. 15, 2005

NEW YORK - Two years ago, Demi Moore met "That '70s Show" star Ashton Kutcher at a casual dinner. They've been together ever since.

"Talk about meeting your soul mate," the 42-year-old actress tells Harper's Bazaar in its September issue. "I truly feel I have been given that gift. And believe me, I wasn't some lightweight package. I'm, like, the package that didn't just come with luggage — I had trunks."

While she and Kutcher, 27, would like to "expand our family" — there have been tabloid reports that Moore was pregnant — there are no plans for marriage. "I feel that we are and that we don't need something formal, so to do so isn't a big deal one way or another," she tells the magazine.

"The next phase? The growth of my partnership (with Kutcher). The growth of our union. The growth of our family. Which is all the things we truly desire ... to expand our family."

Moore says the couple, who recently moved into their new home in the Hollywood Hills, enjoy "sharing a bath with one another and watching ‘Court TV.' Snuggling up naked."

Moore, who starred in 2003's "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," says she met Kutcher "not through Sean Combs, as everyone said, but through a mutual friend, Sara Foster, an actress who's known Ashton from the day he arrived in Los Angeles."

"We met and he said, ‘I really need to talk to you alone later.' And I was like, ‘Heh, yeah, sure.' And he said, ‘No, no, I'm serious.' And we ended up going back to my apartment and talking all night long."

Moore has three daughters, Rumer, 17; Scout, 14; and Tallulah, 11, from her marriage to second husband Bruce Willis.

She recently finished shooting the thriller "Half Light," appears in a fall ad campaign for Versace and is planning to launch a holistic beauty company with two friends.

"It's been a challenging few years, being the age I am, with so much focus now on how I look," Moore says. "Almost to the point where I felt like, well, they don't know what to do with me. I am flawed. And I'm not 20. Not 30. But I'm certainly different from what most people feel someone in her 40s should be."

Paulagate: Has justice been served?

Surprise! After Fox's extensive independent investigation of Corey Clark's claims, the verdict is that Paula Abdul is guilty only of excessive ''fraternization'' with the former contestant, as the investigators could find no corroborating evidence that she did more than spend a lot of time on the phone with him. Fox will implement a policy that will keep judges from such fraternization (and help reduce their phone bills), and no doubt the relieved Abdul will devote her free time to searching for the real fraternizers.

Madonna Injured in Fall

MADONNA fell off a new horse while riding at Ashcombe House, her country estate outside of London, her publicist announced today. The pop star sustained three cracked ribs, a broken collar bone and a broken hand, but is expected to be released from the hospital later this evening. She was celebrating her 47th birthday with her husband, film director GUY RITCHIE and her two children, LOURDES and ROCCO, at the time.

Madonna discharged from hospital 5:04PM / 16.08.2005

Posted: 16 August 2005 - From Associated Press

US pop diva Madonna was discharged from hospital where she had been treated for injuries suffered in a horse riding accident in southwest England, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The singer had been taken to Salisbury District Hospital in Wiltshire after falling off her horse while celebrating her 47th birthday.
Madonna's spokeswoman, Barbara Charone, earlier said the songstress had broken her collar bone and a hand, and cracked three ribs, but her condition was not serious.
One orthopaedic surgeon, Leela Biant, said Madonna's fitness would help her to make a full recovery, noting that this should take about three months.
'You don't treat broken ribs, they heal by themselves,' Biant said.
'The fact that Madonna is very fit and healthy will help her recovery and because she does a lot of yoga she will be used to deep breathing,' she told Britain's domestic Press Association.
Biant said, however, that the Material Girl would find it painful to sing during the first couple of weeks.

Also:

In an exclusive statement to Access Hollywood, Liz Rosenberg said, "It happened around 4 p.m. London time. Madonna is pretty banged up…Her new disc is due this November and she is set to tour next summer. It's too soon to tell if the tour will be affected, but the press for the disc will definitely be affected.

WILL KATIE BE TOM'S RUN AWAY BRIDE?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes seemed to be flying high — as high, at least, as the top of the Eiffel Tower, where Tom proposed to her on June 17. But now, sources are telling Star, Hollywood's newest golden couple may be coming down to planet Earth. Cracks have appeared in their veneer of perfect happiness and Katie might be having second thoughts. "I think Katie is getting cold feet," a friend of Holmes tells Star. "She must be wishing she and Tom could slow down their race to the altar while they get to know each other better."

WEDDING DAY PLANS
Despite their respective reps' insistence that the couple is still in a state of never-ending bliss, sources tell Star that TomKat's public love-a-thon has been tempered by to a war of wedding plans. A source close to Katie, 26, says the actress has always "dreamed of getting married in front of childhood friends and family members in [her hometown] of Toledo, Ohio." But Tom, 43, who has been married twice before (to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman), prefers a low-key affair.

"He wants to keep the ceremony small," adds the insider, "inviting only a few family members and close Scientology friends."

And although Katie has gone on record expressing her interest in Scientology, it's apparently becoming a sticking point in the couple's wedding plans. The actress apparently wants a Roman Catholic priest at their wedding out of respect for her parents, Martin Sr., a lawyer, and Kathy, a homemaker — both of whom are devout Catholics. "She probably feels that would make her parents happy," reveals the source.

But Tom, who was raised Catholic and is now a devout Scientologist, probably doesn't feel a need to have the blessing of the Catholic Church when he says "I do," adds the insider. He also wants to hold the wedding in a Scientologist-friendly location, according to the source, such as the Scientology Celebrity Center in Los Angeles or aboard the Scientology yacht, "where they can have some privacy."

Then there's the seemingly growing gulf between Tom and Katie's family, possibly due to the fact that the actor hasn't visited her siblings back in Toledo. "I bet Katie is ticked off that Tom hasn't spent any time getting to know her family," the source says. "And her brother, Martin Jr., and her sisters have yet to meet their future brother-in-law. (Although Tom's rep admits that the actor hasn't met Katie's siblings yet, she says the actor has spoken to his future brother and sisters-inlaw "many times" on the phone and they have plans to meet up in L.A. soon.)

KATIE'S ON TOM TIME
Tom seemingly insists that Katie restrict herself to his inner circle, most of whom are Scientologists. "Tom wants Katie to spend most of her free time by his side" says the source. "But I think she'd rather have a break from the media glare" and head back home to Toledo, where she can visit her mother, Kathy, who recently won a battle with cancer.

And then there's Tom's infamous TV confrontation with the Today show's Matt Lauer, which didn't sit well with the senior Holmeses. According to one source, it almost caused a mini-blow-up between Katie's father, Martin Sr., and his son-in-law-to- be at The Carlyle hotel in Manhattan while the family was in town for the War of the Worlds NYC premiere. "Martin questioned Tom on his beliefs about psychiatry," says another source. "Tom apparently got excited while explaining Scientology and questioning Catholicism, even pointing out the failure of psychiatry. Naturally, this would upset the Holmeses."

WHAT'S THE RUSH?
Finally, it all comes back to the issue of Tom and Katie's wedding. "Katie doesn't exactly want to call off the wedding completely," says her friend. "She'd probably just be a lot happier if it wasn't happening so quickly!" However, the friend also adds: "Katie is a smart girl, and she could very well wake up one morning and decide that being with a man nearly twice her age is just not something she wants to do. She could become a real-life runaway bride."

P. Diddy No More: Sean Combs endures yet another name change (http://music.ign.com/articles/642/642769p1.html)

August 17, 2005 - Sean "P. Diddy" Combs has announced that he will undergo yet another name change.

From this day forth (at least until he sees fit to change his moniker again) Combs would like be known simply as "Diddy."

Combs, who over the course of his career has been known as Puff Daddy, Puffy, Puff, P. Diddy, Sean, and just about every other configuration of the aforementioned that one can think of basically feels that the "P" is no longer needed in his name.

"I feel like the "P" is getting in the way of me and the public. From now on I will simply go by "Diddy" he said of his latest name change.

Despite his penchant for re-inventing his name every few years, Combs/Diddy is rather confident that this will be the final name that he will use and the name by which he will be remembered in the history books.

"Martha Stewart recently announced that she was using "M. Diddy" and it is rumored that Katie Couric has asked Matt to call her "K. Diddy," and we all know who is calling himself "W. Diddy" in private" Combs joked, showing how "Diddy" has already been ensconsed in the pop cultural lexicon.

Eminem and Carey in spat (http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/7242_1464180,00180016.htm)

Indo-Asian News Service
New York, August 17, 2005

The rapper Eminem and singer Mariah Carey are squabbling over the fact that Eminem is publicly playing private voice-mail messages that Carey had apparently left for him back in 2001.

According to Pagesix.com, during one scene in his concert, Eminem is talking to his audience when Carey's song "We belong together" comes on. Eminem then scolds the deejay and then Carey's message starts to play where she says, "I heard you were getting back with your ex-wife." "Why won't you see me? Why won't you call me? You're not calling me..."

As the message plays Eminem pretends to vomit into a toilet and then launches into his song 'Puke' with the line, "You make me sick."

Eminem is apparently upset because he claims they had an affair, which Carey denies.

Richards Puts Engagement Ring Back On
Denise Richards has fueled reports she has patched up her troubled marriage to Charlie Sheen, by wearing her engagement ring in public. Richards stunned Hollywood when she filed for divorce from the actor earlier this year - just three months before she gave birth to Lola, their second daughter. But last month, reports emerged that Richards and Sheen were fighting to save their marriage after signing up for counseling sessions. And now Us Weekly has printed pictures of the Hollywood beauty with her engagement ring on again - a symbol that therapy has improved marital relations. The couple were married in June 2002 after meeting on the set of movie Good Advice in 2000, and the couple have kept the details of their split out of the public eye. Richards simply cited "irreconcilable differences" when she filed divorce papers on March 2.

Pierce Brosnan Out As James Bond, 007

NEW YORK (AP) - A single, surprising phone call and it was over. That's how Pierce Brosnan says he learned that his services as James Bond would no longer be required.

"One phone call, that's all it took!" the 52-year-old actor tells Entertainment Weekly magazine in its Aug. 19 issue.

Brosnan starred in four Bond films. He says that before they stopped negotiations, the producers had invited him back for a fifth time.

"You know, the movie career for me really started with Bond," says Brosnan, acknowledging that by the time "GoldenEye" premiered in 1995, he was already 42.

He then starred as 007 in "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997), "The World Is Not Enough" (1999) and "Die Another Day" (2002).

His departure from the role was a "titanic jolt to the system," says Brosnan, followed by "a great sense of calm."

"I thought. ... I can do anything I want to do now. I'm not beholden to them or anyone. I'm not shackled by some contracted image. So there was a sense of liberation."

Brosnan says he's grateful to have had the role, but adds: "It never felt real to me. I never felt I had complete ownership over Bond. Because you'd have these stupid one-liners - which I loathed - and I always felt phony doing them."

He plays a foulmouthed, skirt-chasing hit man in the upcoming film "The Matador."

"(For this) to come on the heels of my departure from the world of Bond is sweet grace, to play this one as a farewell to that chapter in time - it certainly wasn't planned."

The Scoop on MSN (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8669419/)

After Hugh Jackman reportedly said he’s not interested in playing James Bond — the latest in a very long line of stars mentioned as possibilities to play the secret agent — some are wondering if the spy franchise has lost its cachet. Jackman allegedly said he’s too well known, “Fantastic Four” star Ioan Gruffudd has said he’s too young, Ewan McGregor says he’s never been formally approached, but he’s probably too busy, and Clive Owen says simply that he’s not all that interested in it. . . .
BooHoo - I was hoping for Clive Owen :( But it seems like TPTB canned Pierce without having anyone else lined up. I hope they don't go the "total unknown" route.

She really proved she could break free of the teen queen Lindsay Lohan fluff roles...I had actually never seen her in anything before The Notebook, but even for a "Tear Jerker" I thought all the acting was good. I saw it on DVD, and the "extras" included her screen test which was excellent (of course) and the first time I'd seen as anything other than her notebook character. She looks so young and so … blonde! It really gives you an idea of how much confidence the makers of that film must have had in her.

By the way, the DVD extras also included some discussion of the casting of Ryan Gosling as an actor who could portray "driven" and just a bit "off" to be believable as someone who would fall in love at first sight, and not stop until he got what he wanted. He does sort of have that intense quality about him!

thanks they did the same thing at the teen awards but it wasn't ryan gosling, it was another ryan.....I was confused Why would she do this with a different guy?

Law and Miller Spotted in Public

Jude Law and Sienna Miller have been seen in public together for the first time since the Cold Mountain actor confessing to having an affair with his children's nanny last month. The couple, who have been meeting in private in a bid to salvage their engagement, took a walk across London's Hampstead Heath yesterday in a public show of unity. A friend of Miller's tells British newspaper The Sun, "Sienna hasn't totally forgiven Jude but she is doing her best to work things out with him. She really loves him and is devastated by his betrayal. He has been doing everything in his power to convince her he made a stupid mistake and it won't happen again."

Garner Slams Press for Leaking Pregnancy

Alias star Jennifer Garner is furious with the media for announcing her pregnancy - because she wanted to be the first to tell her friends the good news. The brunette actress, who is expecting her first child with husband Ben Affleck this winter, admits that while she's thrilled with the news, she's annoyed her pals had to hear it from strangers. She tells In Style magazine, "It's so personal for me... The news of my pregnancy got out when I was in the middle of my first trimester. I hadn't even had a chance to tell my friends." As a result of the press leak, Garner, 33, says she's grown "hyper-protective" and that she's "uncomfortable with people reading too much" about her romance or pregnancy. She adds of her and Affleck's low-key June 29 wedding, "We were able to have a beautiful, private wedding, and I couldn't be happier... (The ceremony was) too sweet to read about or dissect or talk about."

Pitt and Aniston "Hire Private Divorce Judge"

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have reportedly hired a private divorce judge to preside over the termination of their marriage, because they want to keep the causes of their split a closely guarded secret. The clandestine nature of the former golden couple's approach to their divorce has further fueled media speculation that Pitt's growing affection for Angelina Jolie caused the collapse of their marriage. However, Aniston did not mention a third party or infidelity on Pitt's part when she filed for divorce early this year. They will negotiate their split in front of temporary judge Jill Robbins in their lawyers' offices thanks to concessions which only exist in California - and will be spared having the details of their split printed in public court papers. Celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder says, "This is a rent-a-judge situation. It's something that can only be done in the state of California."

Simpson Sought As Las Vegas Performer

Fresh from making her big screen debut, Jessica Simpson has been targeted by promoters who want her to perform a series of Las Vegas shows. The 25-year-old singer has attracted the attention of businessman George Maloof, who wants to employ her as a headliner at his trendy Palms Resort And Casino. While it has been reported that the blonde beauty is "on the verge" of signing a three-year deal worth millions, her representative says, "I can confirm that there was interest on the Palms' part, but it's not an offer the Simpsons are considering." Simpson and her husband Nick Lachey purchased a luxury condominium in the new development Palms Place - which is connected to the hotel - earlier this year.

From MSNBC:

Are Cameron and Justin on the rocks?

Are Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake on the rocks?

The two reportedly had a nasty public spat at an L.A. club earlier this month because of Timberlake’s roving eye, which ended up with Diaz in tears.

The couple’s fight was caused by Justin’s flirtatious behavior toward a “curvy blonde” who had been at the stars’ banquette at L.A.’s Spider Club on Aug. 5, according to the upcoming issue of In Touch Weekly. “The argument got so nasty that Cameron, 32, and Justin, 24, ended up leaving in separate cars,” according to the mag.

A rep for Timberlake denies the incident, though some are saying that the couple’s relationship seems shaky. A few days after the alleged spat, Timberlake was supposedly spotted partying with the Black Eyed Peas at club I-Candy.

Finally, someone is saying something nice about Tom Cruise

Victoria Beckham says it was Cruise who introduced her to hubby soccer star David Beckham. “[Cruise is] an incredible person and he said a lot of things that really impressed us,” she said in an interview with Spanish mag Chic, “not because it’s Tom Cruise but because he’s terribly intelligent.” This is, however, the same interview where Beckham was quoted as saying that she’s never read a book.

From Defamer.com:

Desperate Housewife Conked On Head, But OK!

Oh, celebrities! When they aren’t falling off horses, they’re standing around on sets, minding their own business, and practically begging to become victims of gravity. A Defamer operative on the scene wrote in to inform us of an on-set accident yesterday involving Eva Longoria on a Desperate Housewives location shoot:

While rehearsing an exterior prison sequence at Pasadena City College for “Desperate Housewives,” a section of cross-pipe that was securing tall chain link fences came loose and fell on top of Eva Longoria’s head. She collapsed to the ground, and she lay still for a few minutes while the set medic attended to her. Yes, there was blood, but very little. She was finally carried off the set and taken to a local hospital for further examination. Thank goodness for a pretty little hat that she was wearing, which helped cushion the blow. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that my favorite desperate housewife isn’t brain damaged.

This seems a lot less scary now that the AP has reported that she was treated and released yesterday (no brain damage, Mr. Callous Operative), and won’t even miss a day of work. Longoria suffered a far more serious blow when the television Academy’s metaphorical snubbing-cross-pipe struck her, leaving her fine work as a gardener-bopping vixen on the show unrecognized by an Emmy nomination.

Gwen Stefani Hollers at MTV

There's been some hollerin' back and forth between Gwen Stefani and MTV. Gwen is said to be boycotting the VMAs later this month because the producers won't let her perform. The singer, whose first solo album came out late last year and was a big hit, has more VMA nominations than any other talent. So who is performing? Ludacris, Shakira and Kelly Clarkson, among others. Personally, I think MTV should reconsider, but only if Gwen promises not to do the whole tired "Hollaback Girl" routine. I've seen her in the ridiculous marching-band costume on Letterman, SNL and, most recently, the Teen Choice Awards. Pull another trick from your bag, Gwen. You're talented enough.

Eva Longoria Is Hurtin'

When I heard Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria was injured while filming, I assumed she broke a nail or one of her eyelashes fell out. In truth, a pole fell and struck the actress in the head, so she was taken to the hospital, treated and released. In other Eva news, the former soap opera star came clean to the 3am Girls about her bikini line. The Brazilian-obsessed Eva, who first went completely bare four years ago, said she "wasn't a woman" until she went Brazilian. "I was 25 or 26," she said. "I never waxed or really paid attention to that area. It opened the door to a whole new sexual side of me. I felt like Angelina Jolie. Getting in touch with your inner sex goddess would begin with the Brazilian wax." So that's her secret.

Affleck Writing TV Drama

Ben Affleck plans to write and produce a television drama about America in the throes of a second American revolution. The project has the working title, Resistance, and will be about how the U.S. finds itself divided into separate countries after two massive terror attacks.

Drew's Wild Child Warning To Lindsay

Lindsay Lohan blew off her new movie premiere with the words of an ex-Hollywood rebel ringing in her ears: "Don't get sucked in by all the bull****."

Lindsay, 19, flew home in a huff from London after a reported torrid night's boozing eight hours before she was due on the red carpet for the opening of Herbie: Fully Loaded. She had left 30 VIPs huddled outside London's Boujis club while she ignored them and talked to friends on her cell phone. Then she infuriated her "guests" by agreeing to let them join her party for a 1 am chat — but only one at a time.

A witness who saw Lindsay downing vodka at the club said: "She looked boozy — and fully loaded! She was in a foul mood and before the premiere she'd had enough of London and decided to fly home."

Lindsay's bizarre behavior wasn't lost on another former spoiled brat — Drew Barrymore, who's now 30 and wiser.

Said Drew: "I know what it's like. Nowadays it's even worse than it was when I was growing up. There are parts of this business that are real and parts that aren't. You've got to sort out the reality from the bull****."

Drew, who starred in E.T. at age seven, was an admitted drunk at 10 and addicted to cocaine at 13. Eventually she beat her own demons.

In London to promote her movie The Perfect Catch, Drew added: "Girls like Lindsay who grow up in Hollywood today are making their own rules. Whatever Lindsay wants she will dictate. She's certainly playing by her own rules.

"These days I always think how I will affect others by what I do — and these girls should do the same."

Publicists for Lindsay said she flew home to be with her mother Dina, who's facing a divorce trial in New York.

Dina, 42, claims her husband Michael, 44, who's serving four years jail for assault and drunk driving, has threatened to murder the family. She wants custody of their four children, $1 million in damages and alimony.

Eminem hospitalized for sleeping pill problem
Rapper recently canceled his European tour citing exhaustion

The Associated Press
Updated: 10:24 p.m. ET Aug. 18, 2005

DETROIT - Eminem is undergoing treatment for dependency to sleep medication, his publicist said Thursday, two days after the Grammy-winning rapper canceled his European tour citing exhaustion.

In a brief statement, Dennis Dennehy said Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, “is in the hospital under doctors’ care.”

Eminem wrapped up his nationwide “Anger Management” tour last week, then on Tuesday canceled 10 European concerts that were to kick off Sept. 1 in Hamburg, Germany.

Interscope Records released a statement at the time saying Eminem was being treated for exhaustion, complicated by other medical issues.

Last month, the 32-year-old denied a report that he was planning to retire. But he did say he might be taking a breather after releasing four multi-platinum albums, including his latest, “Encore.”

WILL MASE SOON BE HOLLERIN’ G-G-G-G-UNIT?: God-fearing rapper says a deal is likely to happen. (http://www.eurweb.com/printable.cfm?id=21899)
August 19, 2005

If last week’s onstage appearance with G-Unit’s Young Buck in New York wasn’t a hint that Mase was getting cozy with 50 Cent’s camp, then his recent appearance on Sirius’ G-Unit Radio show should make things clear.

While telling 50’s DJ Whoo Kid that he has been working on new music and pursuing a new record deal, Mase said that his appearance with Buck may be the start of a more formal relationship with the G-Unit crew.

The born-again M.C. said of the new material he is recording: "It seems at this point it's gonna be on G-Unit." He also said that the only other record exec to approach him about a record deal was Def Jam head, Jay Z.

Meanwhile, Mase is still officially part of Diddy’s Bad Boy label, but the music mogul and perennial name-changer is aware that his artist is unhappy.

"He pretty much knows I don't want to be there," Mase said. "It's nothing personal, but I don't want to be there."

"When I came back to Bad Boy, they didn't want me to go where I wanted to go [with the music]," Mase said about the content of his comeback CD, last year's “Welcome Back.” "They wanted me to do what was safe for them. I had to pretty much sabotage myself. Everybody knows who I am.”

According to MTV, Diddy has publicly stated that he and Mase discussed a contract buyout several months ago. On Tuesday, Diddy said it shouldn’t be a problem if 50 wants to buy out Mase’s contract.

"He's definitely got enough money to set everything right," a smiling Diddy told MTV. "50 hasn't called me about signing Mase. If he's interested in signing him, we could always have a discussion. At the end of the day, I want everybody to be happy and where they want to be. But I'm available, I'm free, he's got my number."

Mase says you can listen for him in the meantime on the soundtrack to 50 Cent's upcoming movie, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," and possibly on a Whoo Kid mixtape.

"I ain't going to be 50," the Harlem native said of his new material. "I ain't gonna be Usher, but right in between."

While promoting the Aug. 28 MTV Video Music Awards Tuesday in New York, its host Diddy was asked whether 50’s performance would feature a guest appearance by Mase.

"I don't know," he said. "I don't want to let anything out of the bag for my fellow artist. That's something y'all gotta tune in to see if he brings out Mase."

KANYE VS. HIP HOP HOMOPHOBIA: Artist changed tune after cousin came out the closet. (http://www.eurweb.com/story.cfm?id=21904)
August 19, 2005

A song on Kanye West’s upcoming album “Late Registration” allows the artist to address an issue that has been treated like the plague’s nasty cousin in hip hop.

During last night’s MTV special "All Eyes on Kanye West," the artist talked about his song “Hey Mama,” which refers to his younger days when people would call him a “mama’s boy.”

"And what happened was, it made me kind of homophobic, 'cause it's like I would go back and question myself," West said.

But he said his attitude toward homosexuals changed when he found out that one of his cousins was gay.

"It was kind of like a turning point when I was like, 'Yo, this is my cousin. I love him and I've been discriminating against gays.'"

The 27-year-old says that in slang, gay is "the opposite, the exact opposite word of hip-hop," adding that the genre was always about "speaking your mind and about breaking down barriers, but everyone in hip-hop discriminates against gay people.

"Not just hip-hop, but America just discriminates. And I wanna just, to come on TV and just tell my rappers, just tell my friends, 'Yo, stop it.'"

EMINEM SUED BY AUNT & UNCLE OVER HOUSE: Couple says nephew is trying to evict them. (http://www.eurweb.com/story.cfm?id=21905)
August 19, 2005

Looks like Eminem has more issues with his own relatives (i.e. his mama and ex-wife) than anyone he has ever dissed in his music. Aunt Betty and Uncle Jack have filed a lawsuit against their famous nephew claiming he’s trying to evict them from the house that he had built for them three years ago, reports the Detroit News.

According to the suit filed last week, Jack and Betty Schmitt were asked by Em to move from their St. Joseph, Mo. Residence to Macomb County's Clinton Township in mid-2002. The Schmitts say that Eminem had agreed to pay them $100,000 a year for five years and provide them with a house worth up to $350,000. But so far, the Detroit lyricist has given them only $165,000 since 2002.

The couple is seeking more than $350,000 and possession of the home from Em, whose real name – Marshall Mathers III – is still on the title. The Schmitts say that the artist bought a lot for them in 2002 to accommodate a home, which was finished in March 2003, but the rapper would not transfer the property into their names. On July 13, the Schmitts say they received a notice telling them to leave the property, the lawsuit says.

Eminem was born in St. Joseph, Mo., and grew up in Detroit. As previously reported, he has canceled the European leg of his Anger Management Tour, set to kick off Sept. 1 in Hamburg, Germany, due to "exhaustion." And that "exhaustion" could've been brought on by his apparent dependency on sleep medication. Yep, you read right. The Grammy-winning rapper is currently in the hospital "under doctors' care," says his publicist Dennis Dennehy.

At the time, Interscope Records released a statement saying Eminem was being treated for exhaustion, complicated by other medical issues. Now we know at least what one of those issues is.

Simpson Craves 'SNL' Vindication

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Last October, in a matter of seconds, Ashlee Simpson went from singer/reality star/actress to national punchline when she was lip-synching to the wrong backing vocals on an episode of "Saturday Night Live." While embarrassing, that gaffe (and subsequent halftime humiliation at the Orange Bowl) did little to slow Simpson's album sales or to detract from her status as a rising entertainer.
Now, with a movie hitting theaters this month and a new album ready for a fall release, Simpson is hoping to make a "Saturday Night Live" return.

"I would love to do it," Simpson tells reporters covering "Undiscovered," her first shot at big screen stardom. "It's not been confirmed, but I'd love to go back and do 'Saturday Night Live.'"

"I Am Me," her second CD, is expected to drop in October (the first single, "Boyfriend," is already stirring up rumors of a feud with Lindsay Lohan), which would open the door for an appearance near the Oct. 23 anniversary of the backing track debacle, which Simpson blamed on vocal chords damaged by acid reflux.
"I would want to perform, but I'd love to act and make fun of myself as well," she laughs.

When prompted by potential motivations, she continues, "It's not necessarily about revenge on the world. It would just be fun for me to do it, just for myself."

Simpson is getting use to having a tiny bit more time just for herself these days. After having cameras watching her every move for multiple MTV reality shows, Ashlee -- like sister Jessica -- is at least temporarily off of the music network's schedule.

"There are no cameras in the Simpson family anymore and we love it," she declares. "It was time for a break from the cameras."

It isn't just Simpson, though, who enjoys her camera-free life. Her professional collaborators have also expressed some relief at her reduced entourage.

"When I went in to make this record, I walked in and [producer] John Shanks was like, 'Yeah! No cameras,'" she laughs. "There's not a camera in your face when you're trying to write a song and it's nice."

The experience on "Undiscovered," in which she doesn't stray too far from type to play an aspiring singer and actress, was a positive one. Although she says she's concentrated on music for the time being, the former "7th Heaven" co-star suggests that her small screen fans shouldn't expect to be seeing much of her (beyond relentless album promotion, of course) for a while.

"I prefer movies," Simpson says. "I think it's nice to go to difference characters and kinda jump around. Maybe one day I'll do a TV show again."

"Undiscovered" hits theaters on Friday, Aug. 26.

To Heir Is Human: Call us cynical, but we always had a hunch Paris Hilton's engagement to Paris Latsis was all about the love...of publicity. (More specifically, keeping her Simple Life costar Nicole Richie out of the limelight.) So, color us not at all shocked by reports that, with the fall season of Hilton's TV show approaching, In Touch says there's trouble in paradise for the Paris pair. The mag reports Hilton told Latsis she didn't enjoy their summer together, and friends say the millionaire hotel heiress told them she didn't think it was going to work out with the billionaire shipping heir. Not so, says Us Weekly, which quotes Hilton: "We had an amazing summer. We are happier than ever." Let us just note, okay, cynically note, that she is not exactly saying they are together in that quote. Meanwhile Star has a more elaborate and illuminating report. Apparently, Mama Latsis dodged Hilton's parents for three weeks when they came to Greece this summer to discuss the merger, um, wedding. Mama Latsis is reportedly "in no mood to make the young woman her daughter-in-law when anyone can see her in an erotic entanglement by visiting the neighborhood video club." Will Smith was right: "Parents just don't understand." More shocking to jaded old us, however, is word from In Touch that the celebutante has dropped tote-able Tinkerbell, because the Chihuahua got too heavy to lug around. More proof that Hollywood's an ugly town: When your bitch gains a little weight, you just dump her.

After nearly six years of marriage, former Singled Out host Jenny McCarthy is ready to be out single again.

McCarthy and her husband, director John Asher, have filed for divorce, her publicist confirmed to E! Online Friday.

The rep for the former Playboy Playmate chalked up the split to the usual deal breaker, "irreconcilable differences." The divorce was first reported by Us Weekly.

McCarthy, 32, and Asher, 34, tied the knot on Sept. 11, 1999, shortly after he directed her in the comedy Diamonds, which also starred Kirk Douglas and Dan Aykroyd.

It was the first marriage for McCarthy and the second for Asher. They have one child together, three-year-old son Evan. Her pregnancy and motherhood spawned the New York Times bestsellers Belly Laughs and Baby Laughs.

After making a name for herself on Singled Out, MTV's early-'90s dating game show, the vivacious actress starred in a string of TV series, including The Jenny McCarthy Show, a sketch-comedy program, and the short-lived NBC sitcom Jenny.

She is currently pulling double-duty on the boob tube duty as the star of the UPN sitcom The Bad Girl's Guide, as well as hosting E!'s Sin City reality series Party @ the Palms. (E! Online is owned by E! Networks.)

Despite their decision to split, the soon-to-be exes may not have seen the last of each other.

Their second film collaboration, the romantic comedy Dirty Love, hits theaters Sept. 21. And, according to IMDB.com, a previously announced third project featuring McCarthy and Asher, a comedy called Rollin', is already in production.

Lyonne in Limbo at Hospital By Charlie Amter
Fri Aug 19, 9:11 PM ET

http://us.news3.yimg.com/us.i2.yimg.com/p/eo/20050820/capt.c0c0584c1da648ceabf8df3011f6b13f.jpg?x=130&y=170&sig=WWknQpeh8GI5.2nJNTQIgw--

The troubled life of Natasha Lyonne has taken a tragic turn.

The American Pie actress is in intensive care at a New York City hospital with hepatitis C, a collapsed lung and a heart infection, according to Access Hollywood and the New York Post.

The 26-year-old actress, who hasn't been seen publicly since a judge issued a warrant for her arrest in April after she ducked a court hearing, is reportedly "fighting for her life" and "struggling to survive," per Access Hollywood.

"I'm crying actually. It's terrible, you know. It's my little girl," Lyonne's father Aaron Braunstein told the syndicated show Friday. "It's a terrible tragedy, but she's going to get better. We're praying for her, and she's a tough girl."

The Post reports that the actress is also receiving methadone treatment, which is typically used to combat heroin addiction.

It's not clear if Lyonne has been using the drug, but according to a Mayo Clinic report, the primary mode of transmission of hepatitis C is via contaminated blood--through needles shared by drug users or through blood transfusions. The disease can lead to potentially serious liver damage.

Braunstein, who told Access Hollywood he visited his daughter last week, says he thinks Lyonne may have picked up the virus while shooting a movie abroad three years ago.

"She's probably with the wrong crowd," he said. "The main thing, she picked up the liver thing in Bulgaria during [filming of] The Grey Zone."

Lyonne, whose credits also include Slums of Beverly Hills, Party Monster and last year's Blade: Trinity, has not had a publicist or Hollywood representation for the past several months, which have been a rough stretch for the actress.

She was charged in December with criminal mischief, harassment and trespassing after she purportedly melted down on her New York neighbor, ripping a mirror off the woman's wall and threatening to sexually molest her dog.

Lyonne had been due in court Apr. 19 to answer the charges but left the courthouse early, prompting Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Abraham Clott to put out an arrest warrant.

The Post claims that Lyonne was subsequently evicted from her apartment and wound up living on the streets before turning up in the city's Bellevue Hospital. She was then transferred to Beth Israel Hospital, where she is currently admitted under a pseudonym, according to the Post. Neither hospital has confirmed Lyonne's patient status.

Speaking to Access Hollywood, her father disputed the report that Lyonne was homeless and suggested he might take legal action against the paper.

"There's a confidentiality between patient, doctor and hospital, so all of this is probably going to be a major lawsuit," he told the show.

Lyonne previously pleaded guilty in 2002 to a DUI charge in Miami. She was sentenced to six months' probation for the incident, which involved fleeing the scene of a car accident.

She last starred in the indie comedy Max & Grace, about a suicidal couple who break out of a mental institution. The film premiered at South by Southwest in Austin in March and has been making the rounds on the festival circuit but has not yet been picked up by a studio.

Victoria's cancer challenge (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/339238p-289736c.html)
Gotti daughter reveals her health crisis

By JOANNA MOLLOY
DAILY NEWS GOSSIP COLUMNIST

The reality-TV star revealed in an exclusive interview with the Daily News that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last November, but kept her grueling treatments hidden even as "Growing Up Gotti" exposed her life to millions of viewers.

Victoria did not tell her friends, her producers and most of all her sons, Carmine, 18; John, 17, and Frank, 14, who co-star with her on the A&E show, which starts its third season tomorrow.

"The day I found out, the day I got my mammogram and the doctor told me I had breast cancer, it was in mid-November," the 42-year-old single mom told The News. "I had a little pity party for myself and I cried all day."

"I lost 25 pounds," Victoria said. "I was so exhausted, I could barely lift my arms. My producers were asking questions."

"I was home all the time, and my boys knew something was up," the former Star magazine columnist said. "I said, 'I'm a writer. I can work from home.' But they didn't buy it. Those days, I could barely sit up."

"I wasn't able to tell them," she said. "I just wanted the boys to be okay and not get crazy and think that Mommy is dying."

Victoria endured the cancer treatments alone, drawing strength from memories of her father, Gambino boss John Gotti, who was locked in a solitary cell about 22 hours a day in the years before he died of throat cancer in prison in 2002.

"This has brought back all my memories of what my father went through," Victoria said. "He was always such an inspiration to me." When he died, she called him "a lion."

Victoria has been raising her boys alone since her 2001 divorce from Carmine Agnello, her childhood sweetheart who cheated on her with a company bookkeeper, only to be sent to prison for nine years on racketeering charges.

JESSICA SCUTTLES 'VMA' PARTY (http://www.nypost.com/gossip/pagesix_u.htm)

PEOPLE magazine pulled out as a sponsor of a party Jessica and Ashlee Simpson were set to host in Miami after the MTV Video Music Awards because Jessica made exorbitant demands that would have cost the weekly hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The Simpson sisters were going to host and perform Aug. 28 at the Setai resort. But an insider said: "Her demands became outrageous. She wanted everyone to set up shop at 6 a.m. and be there for like 24 hours. She wanted $20,000 for hair and make-up, $80,000 for a technical production budget which her father, Joe, was overseeing, and over 30 rooms at the Setai."

Another issue, according to a publishing source, was the ill-advised $200,000 contract Jessica signed recently giving OK! magazine exclusive access to the star.

"Her hosting the party for People magazine was a direct violation of her contract with OK! If she had gone through with it, she would have been sued." People execs decided Thursday night to back out.

"We had an agreement with Jessica and Ashlee Simpson to co-host an event the night of the 'VMA' event," said a rep for People. "But because of logistics and technical problems, it didn't work out."

A Simpson rep said: "There were discussions with People about their 'VMA' after-party, but Jessica and Ashlee were unable to do the party with them because of other sponsors involved with the event that would create conflicts with Jessica's master licensing deal and Ashlee's contract with Thermasilk. Both girls are extremely conscious of their business deals and would do nothing to violate those relationships."

SCARLETT JOHANSSON's trip to California theme park Disneyland ended in disaster yesterday afternoon (19AUG05), when her Mercedes hit another car as the paparazzi chased her.

According to eyewitnesses, the LOST IN TRANSLATION beauty was driving near the tourist attraction's entrance with two pals, when she swerved to get away from pursuing photographers and hit another vehicle containing a woman and her two young daughters.

An onlooker says, "The front of Scarlett's Mercedes damaged the side of the other car pretty badly.

"Scarlett looked really shaken up and when both cars pulled over in a safe spot, she apologized profusely to the other woman. After that, they spent around 40 minutes on their phones, sorting out all of their insurance and legal paperwork."

A Mercedes representative arrived soon afterwards with a new car for the actress to drive home.

Johansson's publicist MARCEL PARISEAU states, "The fender bender was induced by the paparazzi, who chased her for 45 minutes."

In June (05), fellow Hollywood actress LINDSAY LOHAN was left with minor injuries after photographer GALO RAMIREZ allegedly drove into her car deliberately. Ramirez was subsequently arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. The case is pending.

And just last week (ends12AUG05), REESE WITHERSPOON got the disappointing news that a group of paparazzi who "besieged" her in April (05) will not face criminal charges of false imprisonment.

Just read this rumor about Ashlee Simpson on Dana*s Dirt...
BIG rumor spreading that Ashlee is pregnant!!!!!!! This has not been confirmed, but a source of mine says she's going to have an abortion... and that she fired Joe as her manager because he was giving her so much hell over it.

The other side of that story is that Ashlee just couldn't stand the fact that he favors Jessica so she wanted to get away from him....

No word on who is the alleged father of the baby... Ryan... Wilmer... or Joe???

LMAO. Anyway, I don't know if any of this is true but that's what I've heard.

22/08/05 Paris Dumps Paris! The Wedding Is Off!

PARIS HILTON's big day is OFF because her (now, ex) lover didn't bother to tell his parents he'd proposed.

Despite the publicity surrounding their engagement, it appears the news hadn't quite filtered through to Greece—where her fiancé PARIS LATSIS' parents live.

So, when lady Paris threw a mega-bucks bash for both families to celebrate, only one set of prospective in-laws were in on the news. Hers. And now the shocked dad of man Paris, GRIGORIS KASIDOKOSTAS, has refused permission for the couple to marry. And La Hilton has kicked her fella to the kerb.

I'm told: "It was like a bad scene out of Meet The Parents. Two of the world's richest families meet to celebrate their kids' engagement, but one set of parents know nothing about it.

"Grigoris also thinks his son is too young to be tying the knot and has cast doubts on how serious the relationship is. It's all very embarrassing.

"It wasn't that Paris didn't want to tell his parents. He just never got round to doing it properly. But if he wants Paris back he'll have to do a lot of grovelling."

The couple's romance was called off a few weeks ago after a gathering of the clans was arranged on a yacht moored off the coast of Mykonos.

That's when Paris realised her 22-year-old fiancé hadn't told his parents he'd popped the question.

My source added: "Paris was mortified. She was further upset when she met his parents because they kept asking her tough questions about culture and art."

"It turned into a farce."

Chris Martin news

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin — a.k.a. Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow — has turned down British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s invitation to meet him at his London home because Martin frets it would damage his image, according to World Entertainment News Networks.

Janet Jackson's diva list

Janet Jackson has some very particular demands.

The singer caused a flap in the U.K. after she allegedly gave producers of the popular TV show Top of the Pops a list of what she needed.

“Her demands were outrageous,” according to the show’s host, Fearne Cotton. “She’d insisted on 20 black hand towels, 20 candles that were exactly five inches tall, and vanilla-flavored soy milk for her tea. And I’m sure she didn’t even touch any of it in the end.”

Another source tells The Scoop that anyone working with Jackson is not allowed to speak to her unless spoken to first and breaking the rule is a fireable offense.

Adam Levine Linked To Maria Sharapova

Russian Bombshell Tennis stars seem to be run of the mill on the dating scene these days, at least when you are in the music industry. Enrique Inglesias and Anna Kournikova are an item, and now it would appear the Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and Maria Sharapova have been romantically linked.

Femalefirst has issued this information:

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine is reportedly dating tennis babe Maria Sharapova.

The hunky singer has been secretly romancing the blonde beauty - who won the Wimbledon tennis tournament in 2004 - since serenading her at her 18th birthday bash in New York.

A source revealed to Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Adam always has a lot of women after him, but he really likes Maria and they have been seeing each other quietly for several months.”

Anna has been around the block, and if skankability is what you use as your dating gauge, then perhaps Enrique doing pretty well for himself, at least for a guy who used to have a huge growth on his face. However, with Anna Kournikova’s Tennis career near behind her, and Maria Sharapova’s just beginning, I would have to say that it looks like Adam Levine got the better end of the deal. Not to mention that he didn’t waste a day beyond her becoming “legal” - he was smart and didn’t start serenading her until the day she turned 18.

Mini Me Is Getting Divorced

Austin Powers Star, Mini Me (Verne Troyer) is reportedly getting divorced from his mammoth wife - because apparently she enjoys the company of big burly bikers much better.

Femalefirst says the word on the street is this:

Mini-Me actor Verne Troyer is divorcing his 6ft 2in wife - after she found love with a tattooed biker.

The 32-inch tall star is said to have been left heartbroken after model Genevieve Gallen - who he has been estranged from since last year - found a new boyfriend.

He now wants their split to be made official.

Genevieve once insisted it was not the ‘Austin Powers’ star’s tiny height that caused problems in their relationship - but the fact that so many women throw themselves at him.

“Girls would come and just throw themselves at Verne. I would get pushed out of the way. Because he is such a gentle and sweet person, Verne didn’t understand that a line has to be drawn between being passive about that and saying something.”.

This story just makes no sense at all. They have been estranged for a year, apparently at the hands of Verne and his fan club, and HE is devestatingly heart broken?

Paris Hilton Never Wanted Nicole Richie

Paris Hilton is now saying that she never actually wanted her ex-best friend Nicole Richie as her co-star on Simple Life. In a statement, Paris said that she really wanted her sister Nicky Hilton to do it with her… but that Nicky didn’t want to be in a reality show.

What really gets me about this is the following comment from Hilton. The good folks over at FemaleFirst give us this:

“So I asked some friends and Nicole was like, ‘I’ll do it,’ so I did it with her. Nicky was my first choice though.” Paris and Nicole are contractually obliged to shoot a fourth series of the show, despite their falling out. .

But Paris says she would rather co-star with close pal Kimberly Stewart. She confessed to Britain’s Cosmo Girl magazine: “It’s my show. I brought Nicole on and we had a great first three seasons, but now I want to make it new and have someone else to be crazy with.

I’m sorry… did she just say it’s “her” show?!?! That’s funny… the last time I checked I don’t think that Paris Hilton way paying for the production of the show… nor did she produce the show… nor did it air on her television stations. If there was ever any doubt about what a snobby little no clue of reality brat this girl is… then it’s gone now.

Tara Reid Is Ready To Settle Down

Tara Reid never ceases to amaze me. There comes a time in everyone’s life… or at least I think this happens to most people… where they eventually find settling down appealing. Tara Reid claims to have been bit by the “it’s time to sow our wild oats” bug.

Ananova reports the following:

Tara would much rather you thought about her “good heart” than her rebellious boobs.

In fact, as she braces herself to turn 30, Tara’s mind is more on family than the fame game.

“I have so much love in my heart to give to someone one day,” she appeals to OK! magazine. “And I also want to be loved. I am crazy for kids.”

And as for coverage of her accidental boob-flash at a P Diddy party, she’s similarly scathing.

“I think it’s the dumbest thing in the world. I mean in Europe people don’t have a top on and they just hang out on the beach,” she says in her defence, obviously having not stopped off at Clacton on her European travels.

“I think this show will help people see the real Tara Reid,” she adds. “She’s fun to be around, she’s fun to watch, she has a good heart and she’s kind to everyone. What’s wrong with that?”

Wow - I need a moment to absorb that……….

Tara is clearly ready to settle down, why the tell tale signs would be her television program “Wild On”, her conservative style of dress, her lack of any desire to expose herself in her drunken endeavors. Certainly a girl that makes Paris Hilton look like an angel, at a recent night out is St. Topaz, is ready to settle down and be responsible for the lives of young children. Look at the people lined up through Hollywood waiting for the chance to leave thier children in the excellent care of Tara. She is certainly the poster child for what-to- do if you are itching to settle down. When she says “I’m crazy for kids”, are we sure she doesn’t mean “crazy for cocaine”??

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes planning Arabian wedding
August 22, 2005, 5:45:03

TOM CRUISE will splash out millions of dollars on an Arabian Knights-themed
wedding when he marries fiancee KATIE HOLMES.

The 43-year-old actor wants to wed the former DAWSON'S CREEK actress in
Mexico's Maroma resort after witnessing a $1 million (£600,000) ceremony
earlier this year (05) where 300 bare-footed guests partied in a castle
decorated like a temple.

A source tells British newspaper the Sunday Mirror, "Tom was really annoyed
that he couldn't have the presidential suite when he was on holiday with
Katie in May.

"But it didn't stop him from taking a good look at the wedding that was
going on.

"He was bowled over by what he saw. He got his people to call the wedding
planner (KEVIN LEMON) and they said, 'Can you make it identical but with
millions of flowers?'

"Kevin was really excited about planning such a massive wedding, especially
as Tom's people said that he could have a blank cheque.

Gotti Concealed News of Cancer for Months
Aug 21, 1:28 PM EST
The Associated Press

NEW YORK -- When Victoria Gotti learned she had breast cancer, she kept the news to herself — hiding her draining treatments from her three sons and the producers of their reality show, "Growing Up Gotti."

With the show set to begin its third season on the A&E network this week, the daughter of late mob boss John Gotti revealed the details of her struggle to the New York Daily News.

The 42-year-old said she learned she was sick after a mammogram in November. She told her sons about the cancer earlier this month, after going through months of cancer treatments in silence.

"I lost 25 pounds," she said. "I was so exhausted, I could barely lift my arms. My producers were asking questions," as were her sons — Carmine, 18, John, 17, and Frank, 14.

"I wasn't able to tell them," she said. "I just wanted the boys to be OK and not get crazy and think that Mommy is dying."

She said her treatment has gone well: "They caught it early and the prognosis is good."

Didn't see this here yet. Sorry if it's already been posted!

LOS ANGELES - The Coast Guard says it is investigating the disappearance of Olivia Newton-John's longtime boyfriend, who failed to return from an overnight fishing trip off the California coast seven weeks ago.

ADVERTISEMENT

Patrick Kim McDermott, 48, left San Pedro, 20 miles south of Los Angeles, June 30 on an overnight fishing trip. The Los Angeles Police Department said McDermott has been listed as missing.

Coast Guard officer Nathan Henise told The Associated Press Monday that McDermott was last seen on the fishing vessel and that his personal items were found on the boat.

"We're treating it as a missing person case," Henise told the AP. "Everyone is being interviewed, everyone on the boat."

Newton-John on Monday urged anyone with information on McDermott's disappearance to contact authorities.

"I'm hopeful that my treasured friend is safe and well, and I'm grateful to the officials who are working so hard to find Patrick, whom I love very much," she said in a statement. "I ask anybody with information that could help to please, please come forward."

Gavin de Becker, a spokesman for Newton-John, said the singer was in "close and frequent contact" with McDermott's family and friends, as well as investigators.

Authorities said McDermott's family became concerned when he didn't attend a July 6 event. They contacted the Coast Guard after his car was found in the marina's parking lot on July 11.

McDermott, a cameraman, and Newton-John, 56, have been together for nine years.

Newton-John, who starred in the 1978 film "Grease" opposite John Travolta, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992. After she beat the disease, she recorded the album "Gaia," documenting her experience.

According to a note on his band's Web site, Sugarmoney.net, Bice "has successfully undergone an emergency medical procedure that was urgently needed to save his life." At first the site said that Bice would be resting at home for at least six weeks, but it has now been edited to remove any reference to the amount of time Bice would need to recuperate.

Photographer Hits Back at Johansson's Chase Claims

Scarlett Johansson's claims of getting caught up in a traffic accident while trying to escape the paparazzi have been challenged by a photographer who witnessed the crash. Just hours after her Friday accident, reports emerged that the Lost In Translation beauty was driving into the entrance of California's Disneyland, when she swerved to get away from pursuing photographers and hit another vehicle. But JFX Images photographer Mario Toruno, who was pursuing the actress at the time, questions whether she was even aware of photographers tailing her before the accident, because they kept a low profile, using cars in front of them as cover. Toruno, who saw the accident unfold as he sat at stoplights nearby, says, "When she was driving in to the parking lot, she was going very, very slow - maybe about 15 miles per hour - and she started veering to the left. It was almost like when you drop something on the car floor and you try to pick it up. Or she could've been busy talking with the two friends she had in her car. I couldn't see what was going on inside of the car, but from the outside I could see that she wasn't at all being chased when she hit the other lady's car. The parking lot is confusing because it's very busy, so maybe she was unsure of whether she wanted to turn left or right. I'm guessing that because she veered to the left, she was unable to see the other car - the only other vehicle at the parking lot entrance at that time - from her blindside. That's when she slowly slammed into the other car. The nearest cars to them at the time of the accident were at least 40 yards away, and none of them contained paparazzi. It was just regular oncoming traffic. I know, because there was another set of photographers that with the traffic at the stoplights. I'm sure Disneyland has video cameras at its entrance to prove that this is what happened. To be honest, we'd have been happier snapping pictures of Scarlett on the rides with her friends. We never in a million years thought we'd end up taking shots of a road accident, and obviously that's not what we set out to do. We were as surprised as everyone else, because everything was in such a slow motion when the cars hit each other."

Phoenix Slams Mourning Brother Reports

Joaquin Phoenix has slammed reports he suffered a breakdown during the filming of Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line when a scene triggered the painful memory of his brother's death 12 years ago. The Gladiator star was playing a scene in which Cash recalled the death of his older brother Jack, who died in a horrific wood-saw accident aged 14. Phoenix's brother River Phoenix died of a drug overdose in 1993 outside Los Angeles nightclub The Viper Room. The 30-year-old actor reportedly broke down and repeatedly banging his head into a bedpost during the filming and was taken away in an ambulance. But Phoenix denies reports he was affected by the scene, and insists he was just getting into the mood of his character - a young Johnny Cash going through drug withdrawal. Phoenix tells the New York Daily News, "That's not the way my brain works. You know, the press has kind of imposed upon me the title of 'Mourning Brother', and because I haven't been vocal about it, the assumption is that I'm holding on to it and all this s**t that's just not there. I don't need to pull from my experience for a character, and I've never understood why actors would, except for lack of ability, imagination or research. I had all three things, so this is a little frustrating to me, because it denies my work and the research that I did." The biopic movie - in which Phoenix stars alongside Reese Witherspoon - is due to hit screens this November.

Love Denies Pregnancy Claims

Troubled rocker Courtney Love has slammed reports she is expecting English comedian Steve Coogan's baby, declaring their relationship is purely platonic. On Sunday, British newspaper News Of The World claimed Love had told the publication she is pregnant after a two-week affair with the funnyman in Los Angeles. The paper claimed Love had said, "Yes, I am pregnant with Steve's baby, but I'd rather not talk about our relationship." However, the 41-year-old singer has released an official statement through her management company, Sanctuary Artist Management, denying she is pregnant. The statement says, "Courtney Love wishes to make it clear that she denies recent stories suggesting she is pregnant or has had a relationship with Steve Coogan. She confirms that she and Steve are good friends and have met a few times in Los Angeles." Yesterday, I'm Alan Partridge star Coogan's spokesperson said, "He is astonished by this. It is ridiculous." Love was admitted to rehabilitation for her ongoing drug problem last Week after she admitted to a Los Angeles judge she had violated her probation for three separate cases.

Ledger Throws Eggs at Paparazzi

Australian actor Heath Ledger has taken to throwing eggs at the paparazzi when he catches them staking him out. The screen hunk is particularly annoyed by the presence of photographers when he's relaxing with his friends and relatives, so he now attacks them with eggs whenever he has any to hand. He says, "I've thrown an egg. Not at them just kind of next to them so it splatters up against them. That's how pathetic it is. That's what we're reduced to. You can't actually stand up and slap them. When they kind of spy in on you and you're trying to like bathe out in the sun, and you're with your girlfriend and your friends and your family... it actually feels like you're getting a slap across the face. And we can't physically stand up and hit them back, of course, it would be rude and against the law. So you just get an egg."

Sheen: "Reconciliation With Richards Is Possible"

Actor Charlie Sheen has ended weeks of speculation about the state of his marriage to former Bond girl Denise Richards by admitting a reconciliation is "possible". Richards shocked Hollywood when she filed for divorce from Sheen in March, but the couple have reportedly been attending counseling sessions for the past two months with a view to giving their marriage a second chance. Now, in an interview with US news show Extra, which aired Monday, Sheen reveals, "There's always a chance for that (reconciliation) as long as two people are still in the game... I mean alive - that's in the game in my world." But Sheen admits he has been told not to divulge too much about his relationship with his estranged wife, adding, "I told her I'm doing this interview and she had asked me not to reveal too much. We agreed on me saying things were bad, obviously, and things are a whole lot better, and I think with that is hope and whatever the future might deliver, we both embrace... We're not ruling anything out. We're both just trying to be the best parents we can, the best friends we can." On the tabloid scrutiny about his marriage, Sheen admits he never took comments about his drinking binges and womanizing too seriously. He adds, "I always thought they were talking about my character (in TV series Two & A Half Men) - drugs, women and gambling... 'Oh, wait, it's me!' It's interesting because the misconception is that a celebrity marriage - the problems and issues - are of some epic proportions and they're really not. It's just life. People forget that there's real human beings involved with children, and feelings and hearts at stake."

From Defamer.com:

Overheard: Lindsay and Mischa At The Dime

Who knew that local Fairfax Avenue watering hole The Dime had a Shirley Temple night? A couple of Defamer spies spotted decidedly underage (yet bar-omnipresent) starlets Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton there on Friday night, and one of them had an ear pricked up, capturing this paradoxically fascinating/inane moment of conversation:

Friday night I was distracted at the Dime by all the trips to the bathroom that Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton were taking. Dressed in all black with red flats (keds, perhaps?) Mischa has flawless bone-structure, all the more apparent when you are a skeleton. Still, she’s a striking beauty. Lindsay was doing her best Mischa impression in a white belted dress with boots and that yellow hay hair. Apparently, it was an Anorexia Anonymous meeting since I had just missed the Olsen Twins. Overheard:

LL talks on her cell outside the front door.
LL: Where are you? Come here, I’m in front. No, the front.

MB walks over on her way to her car with her underage posse.

MB: Lindsay, Lindsay…this is so over, I’m out.
LL: Okay sweetie, see you in a sec. Kisses.

Perhaps the only thing more shocking than Barton’s ingratitude (after the bouncer looked the other way to allow her to enjoy some virgin vodka tonics, she repays them by declaring their scene “so over”? Bitch, no you di’int.)

Is Britney Spears a bigamist?

By Jeannette Walls
MSNBC
Updated: 2:59 a.m. ET Aug. 23, 2005
Is Britney a bigamist?

A British talk-show host is claiming that he legally married the singer — and even though the nuptials were obviously a prank, he’s saying the vows may actually be binding.

British TV host Richard Bacon alleges that he legally tied the knot with Spears while interviewing her in a hotel room for the U.K. morning show “The Big Breakfast.”

“It was the first time she’d told anyone she’d split with [Justin] Timberlake and I had a bit of plan, as I had hoped to get the admission out of her about the split,” Bacon, who also has a British radio show, told his listeners. “I had a vicar waiting round the corner with a real marriage certificate. I went down on one knee in front of her and said ‘Would you marry me?’ and she said ‘Hey sure.’” Bacon says he called in the vicar, who had a legitimate marriage certificate, and they both signed it.

But after the show was over, “I’m walking off with the marriage certificate down the corridor when this massive security guard comes hurtling after me, takes it out of my hand and tears it up as he realized what I’d done and that it was legally binding,” Bacon says, and goes on to insist: “You can’t just get rid of it by tearing it up, which means I actually could still be legally married to Britney Spears, which means her marriage to Kevin doesn’t exist and that Britney Spears a bigamist.”

Spears’ rep however, dismisses Bacon’s claim, saying, “Sorry to break Richard’s heart, but Britney Spears is legally married to her husband Kevin Federline and is expecting their first child together very soon. I hope Richard is able to accept this and move on from what must be a confusing time for him.”

Donald Trump on the Best Dressed List

Donald Trump has never been shy about tooting his own horn, and now the reality show star is letting people know he made Esquire magazine’s list of the twenty-one best dressed men in the world. “I’m in some pretty good company — actors like George Clooney, Jude Law and Luke Wilson and other well-known people like NBC’s Matt Lauer, quarterback Tom Brady (who happens to be a great friend of mine and a total winner) and former president Bill Clinton,” notes Trump. “The best-dressed man according to Esquire is hitmaker Pharrell Williams, whoever the [bleep] that is.”

We got used to Carrie Bradshaw's ups and downs, but when it comes to her creator Candace Bushnell, we can't just tune to HBO onDemand to figure out her latest dilemma.

Thankfully there are people who do "original reporting" (don't worry, we were unfamiliar with that term too), which is how we learn Ms. Bushnell is warring with her ex-manager and ex-friend Clifford Streit who is said to been the foundation for the Sex and the City character Stanford.

The friendship's decay went public when Streit sued Bushnell for 10 percent of the profits from the syndication of the show — a payout he deems fair as, supposedly, he "was instrumental in having launched Candace."

Only problem is, Bushnell is said to have long ago sold the television rights to her book to the show's creator Darren Star for just $60,000 back in 1996, which has given Streit reason enough to set his legal sights Star's way.

So what's 10 percent of $60k? Certainly less than even we make in a month, so what's the point — other than generating some undeserving press. Glad we could help!

Pitt and Jolie Tour Dinosaur Museum
Brad Pitt marked the impending end of his marriage to Jennifer Aniston with a visit to a Canadian dinosaur museum with rumored lover Angelina Jolie. The couple's four-year marriage was terminated in Los Angeles on Friday, but their "marital partnership" will not officially end until October. Over the weekend, Pitt entertained Jolie and her son Maddox, who came to visit him in Calgary, Alberta, where he is due to begin filming The Assassination Of Jesse James next week. The Mr. And Mrs. Smith co-stars and four-year-old Maddox enjoyed a tour of the Royal Tyrrell Museum near Drumheller on Saturday, confirms the museum's spokeswoman Wendy Taylor. Taylor enthuses, "They did not ask us to close the museum or for an after-hours visit or any special treatment. They arrived around 7pm and stayed for an hour. The other people in the museum at the time were very respectful. The only unfortunate thing was that word leaked out and quite a crowd collected outside the main entrance, so we had to find an alternate exit for them. They are both very down-to-earth people and most appreciative."

Johansson Slams Cruise
Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson is the latest star to slam Tom Cruise's attack on Brooke Shields for using medication to ease postpartum depression. Cruise - who claims to have helped people fight drug addictions through his controversial Scientology religion - sparked a war of words when he criticized Shields in May for using anti-depressant Paxil, following the birth of her daughter Rowan. The Island actress brands the War Of The Worlds star as "ignorant" and insists women should have the right to choose how they treat their body. She says, "I think people have their own right to choose whether or not they want to stop taking a drug. I can go into a very lengthy conversation with anyone about a woman's right to choose and things like that, but I don't believe in forcing my opinion on people.

But I've also known people who've taken anti-depressants for a couple of months, and it saves them from what could really be a drastic situation. Ruling out something that could legitimately help people seems ignorant."

Jessica Simpson's £10,000 Party Tab

Jessica Simpson celebrated the UK premiere of new movie 'The Dukes of Hazzard' by splashing out £10,000 on partying the night away.

The blonde beauty - who stars as hotpant-wearing Daisy Duke in the big screen adaptation of the hit TV show - took a 14-strong entourage with her to London's trendy Met bar for an evening of drinking.

According to fellow revellers, Jessica - who looked stunning in a glamorous red dress - seemed a little tired when she first arrived but soon got into the party atmosphere.

One onlooker at the party held on Monday night (22.08.05) revealed: "Jessica's assistants put some money behind the bar from then on the champagne never stopped flowing. At the end of the evening they picked up her tab for £10,000." Earlier in the evening, Jessica had wowed fans gathered in London's Leicester Square for the film's premiere. .

The sexy star - who starred in MTV reality TV show 'Newly Weds' with husband Nick Lachey - stopped to talk with fans and sign autographs.

Jessica was joined on the red carpet by co-stars Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville, while 'American Pie' beauty Tara Reid and Jack Osbourne also showed up at the exclusive event.

Jennifer Aniston Relieved Marriage 'Over'

Jennifer Aniston is "relieved" her marriage to Brad Pitt has been declared officially over, it has been claimed.

The estranged couple filed divorce papers at Los Angeles court on Monday (22.08.05) after both agreeing to a private settlement over their joint £200million fortune.

The divorce will be finalised on 2 October, but the papers do not reveal how Jennifer and Brad - who is now dating screen beauty Angelina Jolie - will divide their possessions, although it is believed the pair will divide the £7.8million raised from the sale of their Beverly Hills mansion. According to a Hollywood source, Jennifer - who was married to the heartthrob star for four years - is delighted the pair's union is finally legally over, leaving her free to get on with the rest of her life.

The insider said: "Jennifer seems really relieved to have got the divorce out of the way and is looking forward to making a fresh start." .
Yesterday (23.08.05), the former 'Friends' star seemed relaxed and happy as she was spotted playing Frisbee with 'Break-Up' co-star Vince Vaghn during a break in filming.

The pair - who are rumoured to be dating - playfully tossed the plastic toy and were later seen taking a romantic stroll walking hand-in-hand.

Sienna Miller's Slashed Arms Mystery

Sienna Miller has sparked fears for her health after being photographed with red slashes up her arm.

The beautiful actress, who last week split from cheating fiancé Jude Law, made no attempt to hide the swollen wounds as she left London's Wyndham Theatre, where she is starring in Shakespeare's As You Like It. .

Sienna, 23, even showed off the scars as she lifted her arm and flicked her hair while speaking to fans waiting outside.

An onlooker revealed: "The cuts looked sore and red raw and seemed to run all the way up her arm." But Sienna's spokesperson said the actress had simply scraped her arm against rocks while swimming in the sea last weekend.

She said: "Sienna was swimming with friends when she was pushed up against a rock. She has told us the sea was very rough and that her arm was scraped up and down the rock leaving her with scars. She also has scars down her side."

Sienna was recently left devastated when fiancé Jude admitted he had slept with his children's nanny. The star, who decided to call time on their relationship after deciding she could no longer trust him, yesterday revealed how appearing on stage every night helped her deal with the split

Orlando Bloom Wants To Marry

Orlando Bloom has admitted he is desperate to get married and settle down. .

The handsome actor, who recently rekindled his relationship with screen beauty Kate Bosworth, wants to share his life with Miss Right.

He revealed: "At some point I will get married and have kids. I can't wait to. That would be great but when I am ready for it. Not before. "But it's one of those things where you want to feel like you've shared your life as opposed to just being alone."

The sexy star, who reportedly split from Kate after they spent too much time apart due to busy work schedules, says he is thrilled to be dating the actress again. He gushed: "I'm really happy. I went out to Australia where Kate is filming. She is doing an amazing job.

"She's a beautiful girl, a beautiful person and we are having a great time together."

Meanwhile, the 'Lord of the Rings' heartthrob admits he is less than perfect - one of his problems being he is a real scatterbrain. He is quoted by Britain's Daily Record newspaper as saying: "I have a list of faults. When I get up in the morning I can never leave the house without leaving behind the 10 things I most need.

"So I have to leave myself 10 minutes to get out the front door because I have left something behind."

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie to make a movie

Billy Bob Thornton is making a movie with his ex-wife's new lover, Brad Pitt. .

The Hollywood actor, who was married to Brad's current girlfriend, Angelina Jolie, will star in upcoming film 'Peace Like A River', which is being made by Brad's production company.

However, sources claim Billy Bob - who is now dating special effects expert Connie Angland, with whom he has a baby daughter, Bella - isn't bothered that Brad is dating his former wife.

According to America's New York Post newspaper, the 'Bad Santa' star told a friend: "The Angelina ship has sailed for me. I have a new kid with my girlfriend. Brad and Angie seem happy together. Why not make a movie for him? It will be one big happy family." Earlier this month, Billy Bob praised ex-wife Angelina for being a "great mother".

The wild actor, whose tempestuous marriage to Angelina ended in 2002, says the screen beauty is a wonderful parent to adopted son Maddox and he is delighted she has decided to adopt a second child, Ethiopian orphan Zahara. .

He revealed: "She cares so much for kids who don't have anything. Any kid Angelina adopts is going to have a great mother."

Charlotte Church Slams Boozy Tara Reid

CHURCH DISGUSTED BY PARTY GIRL REID.

Welsh soprano CHARLOTTE CHURCH has slammed party girl actress TARA REID for being "not very lady-like".

Despite her own party-loving reputation, which has been well documented in the British press, Church claims her drinking antics are nothing compared to AMERICAN PIE star Reid, who is currently filming her reality TV show WILD ON TARA in London.

Church says, "Whenever she's out, her t*ts keep falling out. I would never be like that. It's not very lady-like."

Mark Wahlberg 'embraces' his third nipple

Four Brothers star Mark Wahlberg has decided not to go under-the-knife to remove his third nipple - because he has grown to love it.

The rapper-turned-actor considered having an operation to lose the extra nipple after all the media attention it attracted.

But he has revealed to America's Rolling Stone magazine: "I've come to embrace it. That thing's my prized possession."

Meanwhile, Mark's ex girlfriend, Jessica Alba, has vowed never to romance another actor - because they're too vain. The sexy 'Sin City' star insists male actors are more diva-like than women.

The 24-year-old revealed: "I'm way too high maintenance to be in a relationship with an actor. "I don't need a man who spends as much time in front of the mirror as me."

The stunning actress also claims male actors aren't as tough off screen.

She added in an interview with Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine: "When I used to do action scenes in 'Dark Angel' I had to play it rough. If you hit an actress accidentally she'd take it on the chin, but the guys would take a 20 minute break and ask for x-rays.

"I'd tell them, 'Come on, man. You're supposed to be a tough guy.' I'm telling you - actors aren't as tough as they seem on screen."

GOTTI GOTCHA!: (http://www.tvguide.com/News/Entertainment/)
Next on Growing Up Gotti: "How to Drum Up Ratings with a Sob Story." Contrary to published reports, Victoria Gotti apparently was never diagnosed with breast cancer, nor did she battle secretly with the disease during the taping of the third season of her reality series, the New York Post reports. In actuality, Gotti said in a CNBC interview Monday night, she "chose to be aggressive and get surgery" on precancerous cells, and now deems herself "100 percent well" — which I say may be yet another exaggeration.

VICTORIA 'CANCER' WAS TALL TALE (http://www.nypost.com/gossip/pagesix.htm)

http://www.nypost.com/photos/pg608242005.jpg

August 24, 2005 -- VICTORIA Gotti never had breast cancer, as the Daily News claimed on its front page last Sunday — nor did she ever suffer a heart attack or earn a law degree.

Matthew Rich, her publicist of seven years, quit in disgust on Monday because his best friend's mother had died of breast cancer, a source told PAGE SIX. Rich was said to be revolted that Victoria would promote the third season of "Growing Up Gotti" by making up such a tearful tall tale.

When we called for comment, Rich would only say, "I no longer work for Victoria Gotti." Asked if she had ever suffered from cancer, he replied, "No comment."

The daughter of legendary Gambino crime boss John "Dapper Don" Gotti was quoted in the News as saying: "The day I got my mammogram and the doctor told me I had breast cancer, it was in mid-November. I had a little pity party for myself and I cried all day . . . I lost 25 pounds . . . I was so exhausted, I could barely lift my arms."

But Gotti backed away from the story Monday night on CNBC's "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch."

The 42-year-old mother-of-three said she was not diagnosed with breast cancer as reported in the News, but with pre-cancerous cells she chose to treat aggressively before it became cancer. "What I had can be described as a scare," she said on the show.

She told us yesterday: "I could leave it alone and watch it, or get surgery. I chose to be aggressive and get the surgery." The surgically-enhanced blonde describes herself now as "100 percent well."

News columnist Joanna Molloy said: "Don't tell me Victoria is shape-shifting the truth again. She told us in January she had breast cancer, and that's the reason she took a leave of absence from Star magazine. She told us again last week, and we recorded it."

It might not be the first time Gotti has made a bogus bid for sympathy. A former friend said Victoria confided four years ago she had breast cancer, "but then she went into work the next day as if nothing had happened. I didn't believe it then, and I don't believe it now."

The News also goofed in reporting that Victoria suffered a "heart attack" a few years ago at one of her sons' basketball games. "The original story said 'heart incident.' An editor changed it to 'heart attack,' " Victoria told us yesterday.

In another howler, the News stated, "She got a law degree." At St. John's University, the only college Gotti has ever been known to attend, spokeswoman Suzi Halpin told us, "We have no record that she graduated from St. John's."

Gotti told us: "I have no law degree. I never had a law degree. I don't know where that got started."

Not that I like Victoria Gotti in the least, but I'm siding with her on this one. My mom had DCIS, and while, thank God, it wasn't stage 3 invasive breast cancer, she still fought a hell of a battle with surgeries and radiation treatments. And yes, she needed all of the treatments she got. I don't know why anyone would subject themselves to cancer treaments that they don't need. It's not a walk in the park under any circumstances.

Methinks the publicist wanted to split for another reason.

Okay, I just saw an interview with Victoria Gotti's former publicist on Inside Edition (I know, top-notch journalism...) and he was going on about how "one of the best people he knew" died from breast cancer. And, I do feel for him. My mom lost her childhood best friend to breast cancer. Does that make my mom's cancer less real than her friend's? No matter how you slice it, it's a really horrible disease and I've known too many women to die from it. But just because someone has it worse than another, you shouldn't discount it as a lie.

Makes me so mad. Cancer is serious, scary and those suffering need all the support they can get, not being told that it's not as real as someone else's. Plus, we don't need women ignoring lumps thinking that "oh, well, it might not be invasive" and letting it get to the point where it could become invasive. It sounds like the publicist wanted a little publicity himself.

I think you could be right. I watch Growing Up Gotti all the time (I know, I need to find a hobby...), and it seems like I remember an episode where he got pretty fed up with her and the the boys. She never disciplines those kids and they seem to get away with murder, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if he jus decided not to deal with it anymore.

I would imagine she was quite a bit younger in those, but most women don't change that much in 10 years or so. She just has a hard look to me now. Maybe it's a result of her health?

Also, there are videos on this site (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/blowingupgotti/) of Victoria visiting her father in prison. Not work safe, but interesting.

Former Punky Brewster star Soleil Moon Frye and her husband, Jason Goldberg, welcomed their first child on Wednesday, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

A baby girl, Poet Sienna Rose Goldberg, was born at 2:20 am in Los Angeles and weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz; she was 19 inches long.

Mom and baby girl are "doing wonderfully" and resting comfortably, says a friend.

Frye, 29, and Goldberg, 34, the producer of MTV's prank show Punk'd, exchanged vows in October 1998 in Los Angeles. The pair met in 1996 when Frye pitched him a movie script while she was studying film at New York City's New School University.

"We became the best of friends," she told PEOPLE in 1998. "Then we fell madly in love."

Timberlake Accepts Libel Damages
Justin Timberlake has accepted "substantial" libel damages from British newspaper the News Of The World after it published a fabricated story claiming he had sex with model Lucy Clarkson in July last year. Timberlake, who is dating Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz, immediately filed a lawsuit against the paper which concluded in his favor yesterday at London's High Court. Clarkson's representative David Griffiths said, "She accepts that the story, which she sold to the newspaper, was an entire fabrication on her part and that she had not had an affair or fling with the claimant. (She apologizes for the) distress and embarrassment she has caused the claimant and Ms. Diaz." The News Of The World's solicitor, Benjamin Beabey, told the court the newspaper "entirely accepts that the allegations are without foundation". Clarkson has also agreed to compensate Timberlake with the money she earned from the story. The 24-year-old singer plans to donate all the money to charity.

Longoria Battles Headaches on 'Housewives' Set
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is battling crippling headaches on the set of the second series after she was knocked unconscious by a metal pole while shooting a scene a week ago. Filming on the hit show is being scheduled around the sexy star as she fights to make a full recovery from the concussion that sent her to hospital. Co-star Teri Hatcher reveals, "I got a call yesterday, saying she still had a headache and they were going to change the production schedule because they were going to go back and check her out again. Then I got a call again that she was actually fine, so she's resting, she's not completely back to her old self, but she's good, they've done all the tests. She just needs to heal a bit more so we're all just letting her do that." Hatcher admits she's doing what she can to keep her ailing pal's spirits up - by showering her with candy treats. She explains, "I sent her a hard hat filled with Milky Ways and Snickers and whatever; she eats so much candy this girl!"

Hatcher Slams "Eating Disorder" Rumors
Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher has hit out at rumors she is suffering from an eating disorder, insisting she lives a very healthy lifestyle. The svelte actress has sparked speculation about her health recently after a series of photographs appeared to show the 40-year-old looking slimmer than normal. She fumes, "To think that I would need to stop eating and be anorexic and sick to get a job in the wrong message to send to girls and women in our society and that really bugs me. I am all about health and to me size is not what defines your health. It never crossed my mind that if I thinner, I would get more jobs."

Clooney Still Upset Doctors Didn't Take Him Seriously
George Clooney is still sore at the Los Angeles doctors who insisted the blinding headaches he suffered on the set of Syriana last year were nothing. The movie star jetted back to California from Morocco, convinced that something was wrong when fluid started dripping out of his nose and nothing could shift his painful headaches. But it was only when he went to see a neurologist that he learned of the extent of his problems - a life-threatening breach in his dura, the substance that surrounds the brain and spine. He recalls, "It was like an ice-cream brain freeze 24 hours a day. A lot of the doctors were like, 'You've got a headache. Go home.' I understand what they were thinking: 'Oh, he's an actor. He's being dramatic.'" The actor's conditioned worsened so quickly that he was forced to hobble around at the Ocean's Twelve premiere last December, while he awaited surgery. Neurologists operated on him just three days later and pinned his spine back together with plastic bolts. Clooney is now celebrating his recovery with a Mario Testino photo spread in the upcoming premiere issue of US Men's Vogue.

Pitt Keen To Hook Up With Cruise's Ex PR Guru
Brad Pitt is trying to sign up Tom Cruise's former public relations guru Pat Kingsley as he plans a press onslaught about his romance with Angelina Jolie. The movie star is reportedly keen to tell all about his private life after spending years shying away from personal matters, and he wants Kingsley to help mastermind his upcoming TV appearances and magazine interviews. A source says, "Brad's set to go public about his loving relationship with Angelina, but wants the event handled carefully and executed strategically. He knows Pat's perfect for the job." Cruise mysteriously sacked his longtime PR pal Kingsley last year and put his sister Lee Anne DeVette in charge of his press affairs. Neither the movie star nor Kingsley have spoken about the split.

Teenage Actress Reported Missing
Teenage actress Scout Taylor-Compton has been placed on the California police missing persons register list after disappearing on August 12. The Sleepover actress, who also appeared on TV show Gilmore Girls, has been reported missing by worried family members in Apple Valley, California. In a statement released earlier yesterday, the young actress' family has thanked officials searching for her, adding, "We are praying for her safe return. We have faith in the agencies working on the case and are optimistic that the outcome will be positive."

Newton-John Hires Private Investigator To Find Missing Partner
Singer Olivia Newton-John has reportedly hired a private investigator to track down her missing partner Patrick McDermott, who went missing two months ago. The American cameraman vanished during an overnight fishing expedition off California's San Pedro coastline between June 30 and July 1. Although the boat and all its crew returned to land, all that remained of McDermott was his personal possessions, including a fishing rod. However, the news only hit the media over the weekend, with Newton-John releasing a statement appealing for anyone with information to come forward to authorities. The Australian newspaper in Newton-John's home country claims the Grease star has hired investigator Gavin DeBecker to assist in the search for McDermott.

Johansson and Hartnett Moving In Together?
Scarlett Johansson and her beau Josh Hartnett are reportedly planning to set up home together in New York City. According to friends of the couple, who met while filming their upcoming thriller Black Dahlia earlier this year, the lovebirds have decided it's time to make a commitment by sharing an abode. A source tells Star magazine, "They're discussing moving in together in NYC. I know that they have already started looking at places to buy in SoHo and the West Village." While Johansson's spokesperson denies the move, the friend insists that neither Hartnett or Johansson wants to be based in Los Angeles. Unless he's working, Hartnett spends his time in Minnesota, while native New Yorker Johansson prefers living in her hometown, which she feels is more private than Los Angeles.

Keanu finds love with Diane Keaton (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=360285&in_page_id=1773)
07:55am 25th August 2005

Keanu Reeves was reported last night to be embroiled in a romance with Diane Keaton, the actress who is nearly 20 years his senior.

Reeves, 40, was reported to have dumped actress girlfriend Lynn Collins, 28, to date the 59-year-old Oscar winner.

Reeves met Miss Keaton when they appeared together in the 2003 comedy Something's Gotta Give. He began dating Miss Collins three months ago after they met on the set of the forthcoming drama Il Mare.

A friend told the U.S. magazine Star Reeves was 'hit hard' by turning 40 last year. Breaking up with Miss Collins 'kind of said goodbye to a way of living he's outgrown'.

Did Olivia's lover vanish on purpose? (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=360296&in_page_id=1773)
By LIZ TODD, Daily Mail
08:31am 25th August 2005

Olivia Newton-John is pleading for help in finding her missing boyfriend, who mysteriously vanished more than seven weeks ago.

Patrick Kim McDermott has not been seen since apparently setting out on a fishing trip from a port near Los Angeles on June 30.

The 48-year-old cameraman has been dating the 56-year-old Australian singing star for nine years.

Now, after reportedly hiring a private detective to try to trace him, she is appealing to the American public to help find him.

"I hope my treasured friend is safe and well, and I'm grateful to the officials who are working so hard to find Patrick, whom I love very much," said a 'devastated' Miss Newton-John, who starred in the 1978 hit movie Grease with John Travolta.

'Dead beat dad'

Although it is being treated as a missing person case, there is speculation that McDermott may have faked his disappearance.

The possibility heightened yesterday with the revelation that he has been declared a 'deadbeat dad' after falling behind with child support payments to his son.

According to financial records, McDermott filed for bankruptcy in 2000 - when he was £16,658 in debt. At the time, he listed his most valuable asset as a £2,498 Toyota. In April this year, he battled in court with ex-wife, actress Yvette Nipar. He had been paying £444 a month to support their 15-year-old son, but court authorities turned to an enforcement agency when he apparently fell behind with the payments and was listed as a 'deadbeat dad'.

NEW YORK When news broke that the University of Cincinnati was considering firing longtime basketball coach Bob Huggins, a local fan favorite, The Cincinnati Enquirer turned to home-grown celebrity Nick Lachey for a brief reaction quote. A rep for the singer, who is also husband (last we checked) of Jessica Simpson, replied that his client was so irate he wanted to write an entire column.

VMAs Could be in Danger

Show goes on, mostly, for MTV pre-parties with Katrina looming

MIAMI (AP) -- As Tropical Storm Katrina targeted South Florida, MTV said Wednesday it had plans in place to deal with the weather facing its Video Music Awards.

The pre-awards bash officially began Wednesday afternoon at the opening of Hotel MTV on trendy South Beach. Diddy, who is playing host to Sunday's awards show, was present at the ceremonies kicking off four days of pool parties, musical performances and night club shows at the Doubletree Surfcomber.

MTV spokesman Graham James said later that Thursday's outside events at Hotel MTV were canceled because of the approach of Katrina. Friday's events were still on for now and weekend events, including Sunday's awards show, were not being canceled, James said.

Katrina, which Wednesday was moving over the Bahamas with top sustained winds of 45 mph, was expected to affect South Florida as a stronger storm as early as Friday, with the potential to wash out some pre-show events.

The storm could bring rain, lightning and gusty winds to the Miami area, and many outdoor events and parties tied to the awards but not directly sponsored by MTV also could be affected.

James said decisions would be made on an event-by-event basis for the various Hotel MTV pre-awards festivities, depending on how bad the weather is.

The white-carpet arrivals in luxury yachts or tricked-out cars were still planned, and James did not expect the show to be affected if the current forecast holds. The theme of the show is water, but organizers are hoping Katrina doesn't crash the party.

"We're hoping it misses us completely," James said.

It's the second straight year Miami hosts for the annual parade of celebrities, memorable musical performances and wacky antics.

Among the pre-show festivities planned at the hotel are performances by hip hop acts Black Rob, 8-Ball and the Ying-Yang Twins; Latin acts Yerba Buena, JD Natasha and Javier Garcia; dance hall act T.O.K.; and the rock band The Bravery.

Puerto Rican crossover singer Ricky Martin is set to celebrate the release of his new album "Life," on Friday, and listening parties for new albums from Lil Kim, Sean Paul and Outkast's Big Boi were scheduled.

Bjork's Dress to Be Auctioned for Charity
Aug 26, 7:45 AM (ET)

LONDON (AP) - Internet shoppers will get a chance to add an unusual item to their wardrobe: the flamboyant swan dress worn by Icelandic singer Bjork to the 2001 Oscars ceremony.

The dress features a ruffled feather skirt and an imitation swan's neck that Bjork draped around her own neck, with the bird's head resting on her breast.

It is among some 150 celebrity fashion items to be auctioned next month on the Internet auction site eBay, with proceeds going to international aid agency Oxfam. Also up for bid: Yoko Ono's sunglasses and a pair of Stella McCartney's thigh-high fake leather boots.

Online bidding will be held Sept. 18-25, coinciding with London Fashion Week.

Rose Marsh, an Oxfam spokeswoman, said she expected the swan dress to draw interest from collectors or "fashion types."

"It's the sort of thing that's kind of priceless," she said. "We don't know yet how much these items could raise but if people get involved in a bidding war over Bjork's dress then it could be quite a substantial amount."

Celebrities were asked to donate belongings with a story behind them. Each successful bidder will get the item and a copy of its accompanying story.

"We wanted people to give things that were personal and had a story behind them because bidders will then know they are getting something particularly special to the person concerned and all in aid of a good cause," Marsh said.

Russell Crowe Settles with Phone Rage Victim

Russell Crowe has reached an amicable settlement with the New York hotel clerk he was charged with assaulting earlier this year. Crowe allegedly hit Nestor Estrada in the face with a telephone during a late-night altercation in June and was officially charged with one count of second-degree assault. The Oscar winner was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court and ordered to return on September 14. Crowe has since publicly apologized to Estrada and his family for his violent actions, which escalated after the star failed to get a working telephone line to his wife Danielle in Australia, while staying at the Mercer Hotel. The actor has reportedly agreed to pay Estrada $100,000.

Vaughn Dumped by PR Firm

Hollywood star Vince Vaughn has been ditched by public relations firm I/D PR - despite the massive success of his hit comedy Wedding Crashers. The blockbuster became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in American movie history with takings of $178 million at the box office, but PageSix.com suggests Vaughn's "aggressive behavior" precipitated I/D PR's decision to sever ties with him. However, an I/D PR partner is quick to quash such rumors: "There is no truth to negative portrayals of Vince. We continue to have an amicable relationship and wish him continued success."

Affleck Is the Face of Lynx

Hollywood hunk Ben Affleck has signed a $1.8 million deal to be the face of popular British deodorant Lynx. The Jersey Girl star, whose new wife Jennifer Garner is expecting their first child this year, will appear in TV advertisements directed by Danny Klienman. Affleck has previously starred in ads for Burger King as a child actor and L'Oreal Elvive hair products in 2003.

Madonna To Reprise 'Evita' for London Stage?

London theatre bosses are touting Madonna to reprise her film role of Argentina's first lady Eva Peron in a new production of Evita. The Material Girl fought off a host of Hollywood actresses to play the glamorous wife of corrupt Argentine president Juan Peron in the 1996 film. Previous plans to resurrect the musical in the British capital collapsed in 2003 when its authors Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber decided the city was not in the mood for serious musicals. However, now the same creative team, comprising of director Michael Grandage, choreographer Rob Ashford and designer Christopher Oram, are in discussions to launch Evita in the West End next year, and hope Madonna will step into Peron's expensive shoes.

Lohan and Keys Stranded As Katrina Threatens VMAs

Lindsay Lohan and Alicia Keys are among the stars left stranded as tropical storm Katrina threatens to ruin Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, Florida. The singers failed to make it to Miami Beach before all flights in and out of the beach city were cancelled due to driving rains and strong winds. And, with weather experts predicting the storm could become a hurricane later today, it's not known when normal service at local airports will be resumed. An MTV spokesman says, "The good news is that many of the performers and guests are already in Miami." Meanwhile, Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx's Miami Vice remake has become the latest victim of the storm, which has already forced Sean 'Diddy' Combs to cancel a record label launch party. The set of the film has been temporarily closed and shuttered to let the storm pass.

Will Mary-Kate be the model twin?

By Jeannette Walls
MSNBC
Updated: 2:47 a.m. ET Aug. 25, 2005

Will Mary-Kate Olsen follow in Kate Moss’s footsteps?

The former child sitcom star is said to be mulling a mega-bucks contract to become the new face of Calvin Klein.

The younger (by two minutes) half of the Olsen twins, stands five-feet, two-inches and was admitted to a clinic last year for an eating disorder. Still, she and sister Ashley are considered style icons by some, as the New York Times noted earlier this year, “In fact the twins are trendsetters for the latest hipster look.”

“[Calvin Klein] who famously launched the career of waif-like Kate Moss in a series of ads, wants Mary-Kate. . . to be featured in a campaign for his upcoming high-end collection,” according to an upcoming issue of InTouch Weekly.

A spokeswoman for the designer, when contacted by The Scoop, wouldn’t comment on the story, but if indeed such a deal is in the works, it’s unknown how it would impact the Olsens’ clothing line at Wal-Mart.

Jennifer Aniston Shocked By Intruder

Jennifer Aniston has been left terrified after a man broke into her Californian home.

David Hesterby was allegedly discovered walking through the living room of the actress' luxurious mansion, in Malibu, by shocked staff who confronted him before contacting police.

Officers raced to the property to find the 48-year-old man fleeing the house and after a brief chase along Malibu beach he was arrested and charged with trespassing.

Luckily, the former 'Friends' beauty was not at home at the time of the break-in - she is currently in Chicago shooting new movie 'The Break Up' - but was reportedly left distraught after hearing of the incident over the phone. .
Last week, Aniston was forced to hire a team of security guards after discovering her underwear had been stolen from the set of her new movie and sold on eBay.

The sexy star was horrified after finding a pervert had broken into her trailer and made off with her bras and knickers.

The items later appeared on the popular internet auction site.

Aniston's private movie quarters are now being guarded round-the-clock and it is alleged she is now considering beefing up security at her home after the break-in.

From Ted Casablanca's column at eonline.com:

One Stalled Blind Vice

Something's repeating itself (or herself, rather) in Beverly Hills.

Pixie Mixie is at it again. At a posh opening of an even more posh clothing store (Bev. H. doesn't seem to have room for that Frank Gehry-designed homeless shelter, don't know why), all the red-carpet lovelies were out, including P.M. and her supersvelte set.

Okay, let's get real. Lots of these gals ain't stayin' stick-like by avoiding flour and sugar. They're candy-nosed outta their designer-clad gourds, got it? So, next time you read about Ms. Pixie telling some insipid trend rag that she keeps thin via yoga and granola, head to the nearest stall and barf for me, 'kay?

Besides, that's precisely where you might find Pi-doll, as she was (as usual) at the gala gathering. But get this: As Pixie sniffed and sniffed louder than a bovine with influenza, a journalist for a TV network walked in the ladies' room.

"Is anybody there?" called out a paranoid and suddenly nasal-silent P.M.

"No, nobody!" yelled the crafty reporter.

Pixie then walked out of the toilet area (without flushing, how odd), not exactly knowing what to do. She wiped her nose and left. The journo took note (and how!), so watch where you snort next, Ms. Two-by-Four.

It's one of those weird Hollywood ironies that the people who can most afford the finer things in life tend to receive those very things for free. This Sunday's Miami-set MTV Video Music Awards are no exception, with performers and presenters set to haul home goodie bags crammed with more than $26,000 in sensational swag, reports the New York Post.

The gift basket will be overflowing with high-end promotional loot that includes an iPod shuffle emblazoned with an MTV logo, a Dooney & Bourke duffel bag, Swarovski T-shirts, a corset from Frederick's of Hollywood, a limited-edition shirt from host Diddy's Sean John line, Shu Uemura makeup and a Willy Wonka "golden ticket" entitling the bearer to an unlimited stash of Nestle Wonka bars.

There's also a $1,000 gift certificate for the services of a "life coach," who we can only hope will counsel the lucky recipients to hand over some or all of their booty to the truly needy, like, say, their favorite charity or their overworked personal assistant.

Meanwhile, in other VMA news, R. Kelly isn't about to let something as non-controversial as child-pornography charges stop him from hitting the stage at the awards. The "Trapped in a Closet" crooner has reportedly received the OK from a judge to perform, joining the likes of Mariah Carey, Coldplay, Green Day, Kelly Clarkson, 50 Cent, Kanye West, Shakira, Ludacris and the Killers.

Speaking of Mariah, the divalicious chanteuse plans to make a typically low-key entrance at the ceremony. According to Liz Smith, the chart-topper will arrive on an understated 120-foot yacht, a vessel that's nearly twice as large as the one Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey turned up in at last year's ceremony.

Maria Sharapova's love match

Tennis babe Maria Sharapova has sparked rumours of romance with fellow court star Andy Roddick.

The leggy blonde caused speculation she was dating the handsome sportsman, whose ex-girlfriend is actress Mandy Moore, when he turned up to support her at the launch of her new perfume in New York.

Last week, Maria was reported to be seeing Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. But she was quick to laugh of all rumours of romance at the launch party. She joked: "Right now I'm known to be dating three guys. So I guess I'm just a cheater. What can I say?"

Earlier this month, reports claimed Levine had secretly been dating Maria - who won the Wimbledon tennis tournament in 2004 - since serenading her at her 18th birthday bash in New York.

Justin Timberlake launches clothing collection

Justin Timberlake is launching his own clothing range. The handsome singer has set up a fashion label with his best friend, Trace Ayala, and Danny Guez, who worked on rapper Eve's clothing line, Fetish.

The pop heartthrob revealed: "This clothing is representative of where we come from - it's sort of country, but it's also got a little edge and a little chic to it."

The label has been named William Rast - a combination of Justin's grandfather's first name and Trace's granddad's surname.

Justin, who is romancing Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz, explained: "We just kind of picked the two people who are most influential in our lives, and that's our grandfathers." The new range will be launched at New York department store Bloomingdales, but childhood pals Justin and Trace eventually dream of opening a William Rast shop in their hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.

The clothes - including jeans, polo shirts and cashmere sweaters - were designed by Juan Cervantes, but Justin submitted his own ideas. The hunky singer also worked as the fit model for the outfits.

Crowe Slams Celebrity Campaigners

Russell Crowe has launched a scathing attack on A-list charity campaigners including Bono and Sir Bob Geldof - because he believes they only want publicity. The Antipodean actor regularly donates to charity outside of the glare of the media spotlight and urges other stars to give quietly without publicly martyring themselves. He says, "I do my bit to improve the world but I think it's very important to get things done on the quiet. I'm sick to death of famous people standing up and using their celebrity to promote a cause. If I see a particular need, I do try to help. But there's a lot that can be achieved by putting a cheque in the right place and shutting up about it."

Downey Jr Weds Levin

Hollywood star Robert Downey, Jr married his film producer girlfriend Susan Levin at a secret New York location late on Saturday night .

Curvy singer Mariah Carey has been romantically linked to newly single star Eddie Murphy, after the pair were spotted together at a top Miami, Florida nightclub. The singer was in Miami to attend Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards and was dining with friends at the Raleigh Hotel's penthouse, when she received a phone call from Murphy, requesting her company, the New York Daily News reports. After arriving at the Prive nightspot at 2:30 a.m., onlookers claim the pair began whispering and huddling together, before they sat at a table, where Murphy "held hands with her under the table." Murphy's estranged wife Nicole filed for divorce earlier this month, citing "irreconcilable differences".

Beckford Slaps Diddy with $5 Million Lawsuit

Diddy (a.k.a. Sean 'Puffy' Combs) has been slapped with a $5 million breach of contract and copyright infringement lawsuit by model Tyson Beckford. Beckford, formerly the face of Combs's Sean John clothing line, alleges that once his contract ran out, the star failed to renew it, but continued to use his image and likeness to advertize the line without permission. Beckford's attorney, Kenneth Montgomery, tells AllHipHop.com, "What we have here is a blatant case of wrong doing on behalf of Mr. Combs and Sean John. They willfully continued to use Mr. Beckford's image without permission because he become known as the face of Sean John." According to Montgomery, Beckford made several attempts to settle the matter before he pursued legal action. Montgomery adds, "My client reached out to Mr. Combs several times before coming to my firm. His manager Beth Ann Hardison also contacted him to seek a resolution. They were not heard." A trial date is set for February 6th at the Southern District Court of New York.

Paltrow: 'Aniston and Pitt Shouldn't Have Talked About Their Marriage'

Gwyneth Paltrow has offered some belated, unhelpful advice to divorcing couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, telling the pair they should never have discussed their partnership with the press while they were together. Pitt and Aniston comfortably discussed aspects of their relationship with the media, including the Troy star's controversial admission that he wasn't sure "if it really is in our nature to be with someone for the rest of our lives." Paltrow, who ended her two-year relationship with Pitt in June 1997, was shocked to hear of the golden couple's high-profile split in January. The Shakespeare in Love star, 32, tells Time magazine, "It would be a lot easier on Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston now had they not talked to the press about each other and everything to begin with. "I learned my lesson at 24." After failed relationships with Ben Affleck, Luke Wilson and Chris Heinz, Paltrow is happily married to Coldplay rocker Chris Martin and they have a one-year-old baby, Apple. She explains, "Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business. "When I presented at the Oscars last year everyone would say 'Where's your husband? Is there trouble in the marriage?' And I was like, 'Why on Earth would I bring my husband?'"

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie set to go public

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly set to go public with their romance in a TV interview.

The Hollywood couple have so far remained tight-lipped about their relationship, which started shortly after Brad's split from ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.

However, sources claim the 'Mr and Mrs Smith' co-stars will finally confess they are dating to famed US TV interviewer Barbara Walters.

An insider is quoted by Britain's The People newspaper as saying: "Brad and Angelina had not gone public as he wanted to get his divorce out of the way and not hurt ex-wife Jennifer's feelings. "But most people realise what's going on and they want the public to know they're serious." Meanwhile, Brad has been spotted playing 'Dad' to Angelina's adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, while she is filming in New York.

According to America's New York Post newspaper, the handsome actor carried baby Zahara in one arm, while holding hands with four-year-old Maddox with the other.

Brad, who is said to be renting a house in the Hamptons to be near Angelina while she makes new movie 'The Good Shepherd', even had a bottle of baby milk sticking out of his back pocket.

Courtney Love says the baby is definitely Steve Coogan's

Courtney Love says the baby she is carrying is definitely British comedian Steve Coogan's baby - because she hasn't slept with another man for a year.

The wild rocker confused everyone last week by denying she was expecting a child and her two-week fling with the funnyman.

But now the singer has reportedly told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "I'm pregnant. I only found out 72 hours go. I've only told three people and you're the fourth. I haven't even told Steve yet.

"I've been really unslutty and really picky. I haven't been with another man for a year, which is how I know the baby is his." The blonde star says she is now considering whether to keep the baby. She is quoted as saying: "I'm old and this maybe my last chance to conceive another child." On her unlikely choice of partner, she said of Steve - whose TV alter-ego is nerdy radio DJ Alan Partridge: "Steve is not the sort of man I usually go for. Honey, name the 20 sexiest man in the world and I've slept with them.

"But I was lonely at the time and he made me laugh. He was the most magical person I've met in a really long time."

Sharon Osbourne admits cutting power at Ozzfest

Sharon Osbourne has admitted cutting the power during Iron Maiden's Ozzfest performance.

Despite previously denying ruining the band's set, the feisty star has now confessed she cut their sound after lead singer Bruce Dickinson slammed her husband, Ozzy.

She revealed: "I did cut the sound. Ozzfest is our tour. Dickinson doesn't have the manners to realise that when you are invited into someone's home, are seated at their dinner table, are eating their food and drinking their wine, you shouldn't talk disrespectfully about them. Otherwise, you just might get you're a** handed to you. Every action has a reaction.

"Was Dickinson so naive to think that I was going to let him get away with talking sh*t about my family, night after night? I don't think he realises who he's dealing with."

Iron Maiden were also pelted with eggs and debris, and, although Sharon has not confirmed rumours she organised this stunt, she believes they got what they deserved. She said: "Frankly, Dickinson got what he deserved. We had to listen to his complaints for five straight weeks. He only had to suffer a couple of eggs on the head."

In an open letter to the band on America's MTV website, she added: "I know you would love to keep talking about this, because this is the most press that Iron Maiden has had in the US in 20 years, but let's move on, shall we?" Sharon - who branded Dickinson a "pr*ck" after the fateful performance - signed the letter "The 'Real' Iron Maiden."

The row erupted at the Californian music festival when Dickinson slammed Ozzy in an interview with Kerrang! magazine. He criticised their reality show, 'The Osbournes', and claimed the wild rocker used a Teleprompter on stage.

Tara Reid requests another room - for her shoes

Tara Reid stunned staff at London's fashionable Baglioni hotel by asking for a luxury room - just for her shoes.

A source is quoted by Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper as saying: "She booked herself into one of our most expensive suites at around $4,000 a night but then requested a second room too in which to keep all her shoes.

"It was absolutely bizarre. She said she'd collected all of these shoes while she'd been travelling around Europe, but quite why she had to house them separately remains a mystery." Reid is currently filming a new television series with Paris Hilton in Europe.

Sharon Stone is furious Catherine Zeta-Jones will play Lana Turner in a new biopic, because she was the screen legend's first choice. The Postman Always Rings Twice actress met Stone before she died of throat cancer in 1995 and Stone reveals Turner wanted her to star in a movie celebrating her life. The film will look at eight-times married Turner's tumultuous marriage to gangster Johnny Stompanato, to be played by Keanu Reeves, who was killed in 1958 by her daughter Crane. Stone says, "I met Lana in her final years and liked her a great deal. She was every inch the movie star and we got along really well.

Director Steven Spielberg has infuriated the residents of Budapest, Hungary with his disrespect of their daily lives, while filming new movie Munich. PageSix.com reports fuming locals have faced an array of irritations since Hollywood came to town, including having their cars, which were in Spielberg's way, towed with barely any notice, endless traffic jams and severe warnings should they attempt to take pictures of the proceedings. And city-dwellers are particularly amazed by the Americans' arrogant attitude - as they assume Budapest should be honored to be the Oscar-winning director's chosen location. A source tells PageSix.com, "The best part is (Spielberg's people) keep saying, 'This is the biggest thing ever to happen to Budapest,' which is true if you discount the whole Roman and Ottoman Empires, World Wars I and II, the fall of communism and the European Union's accession."

No Dreams of 'Jeannie' for Alba

Hollywood beauty Jessica Alba has laughed off reports she is donning oversized pants and slippers to star in the film remake of I Dream Of Jeannie. After big-budget movies The Fantastic Four and Sin City, Alba has just signed up to appear in a low-budget film and is baffled by reports she is set to take over Barbara Eden's cult TV role. Alba tells the New York Daily News, "I just signed on to an independent called The Wake for Miramax, actually, with Sigourney Weaver and Hayden Christensen. "(So playing Barbara Eden...?) not that I know of, no."

Aniston Intruder Pleads Innocent

David Hesterbey, the man accused of breaking into Jennifer Aniston's rented Malibu home, has pleaded innocent to burglary and other charges. The 48-year-old Californian was arrested on suspicion of trespassing last week after he entered the beachfront house through an unlocked door, reportedly searching for the former Friends star. The 36-year-old actress was travelling back from Chicago, where she is filming The Break-up, when the incident happened. Hesterbey pleaded not guilty to charges of first degree burglary and petty theft, and is being held in custody with bail set at $70,000. According to Los Angeles County District Attorney Jane Robinson, the petty theft charge was due to Hesterbey allegedly taking a cab from Santa Barbara to Malibu, but refusing to pay the driver. A restraining order has been issued against him after Aniston filed a petition - the hearing date for the order has been set for 14 September. Meanwhile, a pre-trial hearing for the burglary and petty charges is scheduled for 7 September. Hesterbey faces up to six years behind bars if convicted.

Readers Vote on Hilton and Lachey's Chances

Paris Hilton's marriage to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis is facing doubts before it even begins, with a magazine poll finding them the most likely new celebrity couple to get divorced. Latsis proposed to the blonde hotel heiress earlier this summer, and the couple later flew out to Greece to hunt out an ideal wedding venue. And while they've yet to announce a date for their nuptials, readers of Blender magazine aren't too optimistic about their future together. When the publication asked which couple will end up in a divorce court first, a whopping 69 percent voted for Hilton and Latsis. As one reader notes, "You can't turn a ho into a housewife." The tally placed them well ahead of Pete Doherty and Kate Moss, who picked up 19 per cent of the vote. And former couple Renee Zellweger and Jack White's new marriages have also made the list. Eight percent believe White's romance with Karen Elson will end in divorce, while four percent predict a doomed future for Zellweger and Kenny Chesney.

Pamela: 'Women Love Me'

Pamela Anderson has hit back at Hollywood bosses who think she only appeals to a sex-starved male audience, by insisting thousands of women admire her open attitude. The busty bombshell has been heavily criticised by movie moguls who believe women would be left cold by her curvy charms, but her legions of female fans prove otherwise. She fumes, "I hear from women all the time saying they admire my honesty. It's not only prisoners and firemen that watch me, like some think."

Combs Victorious in Assault Case

Diddy (a.k.a. Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs) has scooped a court house victory, after a Michigan judge ruled he did not assault a talk show host following a 1999 interview. TV talk show host Roger Mills of Detroit filed a lawsuit against Combs, his company Bad Boy Entertainment, bodyguard Ron Gilyard and a local radio station after he alleged he was assaulted after an interview with the rap mogul. The interview ended suddenly when Mills inquired whether or not Combs had rapper Notorious B.I.G. killed in 1997. The host claimed that when Combs exited the building, his bodyguards attacked him, broke a television camera and took the interview footage, writes AllHipHop.com. Combs had already won a previous ruling last year, but Mills appealed the decision, claiming a jury should have heard a taped phone conversation that he had with the star and his bodyguard, which would have incriminated him.

Royal News William's girlfriend Kate gets media training

Prince William's girlfriend, Kate Middleton, has been given media training by Clarence House.

Proving the brunette beauty is set to be a long-term fixture in the British royal's life, Clarence House has given Kate lessons in how to cope with the increasing interest in her private life.

She has reportedly been taught how to handle photographers who are desperate to snap her with the handsome prince, and insiders say the 23-year-old has learnt well.

A source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "It is quite remarkable how well she has been able to handle the sudden publicity at her age. She's an absolute credit to William."

Earlier this month, William's girlfriend was invited to dinner with Queen Elizabeth II. The invitation to dinner at Balmoral Castle will be hugely significant for Kate, who many believe is ideal marriage material for the young prince.

Her presence at such an intimate gathering fuelled speculation that an engagement is imminent, but a royal aide said that the Queen's dinner invitation should not be misinterpreted.

He said: "As Williams's grandmother, the Queen is keen to get to know his girlfriend, especially as she has seen how fond of each other they have become." The prince met Kate while studying at St Andrew's University in 2001 and they have been an item ever since.

Carey Caught Up in Mystery Blaze

Mariah Carey almost never made it to the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, Florida on Sunday night after she was caught up in a fire emergency in her Hollywood home just days before. Firemen reportedly had to wake the sleeping Carey and alert her to the seriousness of the situation after neighbors called to report a small blaze at the pop star's Bel Air home on August 24. Fortunately for her, the fire was quickly extinguished and damage was minimal. A spokesman for the singer confirms, "There was a small fire... in the Los Angeles home that Mariah Carey is currently renting. Mariah was never in harm's way... No one was hurt."

Barrymore Clashes with Family at Baseball Game

Actress Drew Barrymore has slammed reports she was thrown out of a baseball game following her rude and drunken behavior to a family recently, claiming the group in questioning were repeatedly photographing her. The Charlie's Angels star, her rocker boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti and a group of friends were watching a New York Mets game in a luxury box at the Shea Stadium in Queens, New York City, when the family in the next box began taking photos of her. Despite Barrymore's claims the family were disturbing her, the family allege the actress burst into their box and shouted at one of their group. Michael Delvecchio tells PageSix.com, "She was drinking and smoking like a chimney, so we asked the security guard to tell her to put out her cigarette because there were young children present, but she just kept on doing it. "Suddenly she stormed into our suite with a lit cigarette and berated one of my friends in front of his young daughter for taking a picture of her. Thankfully, one of the stadium staff kicked her out of our box." However, Barrymore responds, "The family making this claim were constantly taking pictures of me. And I politely asked them to stop, so that the people I was with would not be bothered. "And now they are making claims about my behavior, which is outrageous. This family obviously has a chip on their shoulder and another thought should not be wasted on this."

(note: I gotta call BS on this one. Drew Barrymore is SO SWEET-- a really kind person. I just don't buy this account of her.)

Stars Sign Up for Hurricane Relief Concert

Usher, Green Day, Ludacris and Alicia Keys are among the stars who have signed up for a Hurricane Katrina relief concert which will span three cities across America. Dave Matthews Band, Rob Thomas, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington, David Banner, Gretchen Wilson and John Mellencamp will also take part in the shows, which will be staged in New York, Los Angeles and Nashville on September 10 and air live on US cable networks MTV, VH1 and CMT. Additional artists are expected to be added to the line-up, and proceeds from the show will go to the American Red Cross. Meanwhile, Dave Matthews Band have added a fourth date to its sell-out shows at Colorado's famous Red Rocks venue to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The proceeds from the extra show on September 12 will go to benefit hurricane relief charities. MTV's parent company, Viacom, has also announced that it has contributed $1 million to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Effort. Hundreds are feared dead and tens of thousands are without shelter in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama in the hurricane's wake.

Jolie to Take Legal Action

Tomb Raider star Angelina Jolie is poised to sue a British tabloid newspaper over reports her adopted daughter Zahara Marley is not an orphan. British newspaper The Sun last week published an interview with 18-year-old Mentewab Dawit who claimed to be the baby's natural mother. Dawit said she loved the baby but was forced to have her adopted when she couldn't afford to feed her. But the actress, who already has one adopted son Maddox, four, insists Zahara's mother is dead and has consulted London based solicitors, Schillings. Jolie's solicitor confirms, "I've not yet been issued with instructions to commence legal actions. But I am speaking to her again this afternoon." A spokesman for The Sun says, "We have not been notified of any legal action against us and we stand by the story absolutely."

Boozing Delaney Loses Custody of Her Son

Former NYPD Blue star Kim Delaney has lost custody of her teenage son after he testified in a Santa Monica, California, court that she was endangering his life by drink-driving. Jack Cortese, 15, told the court that his mother embarrassed him when she turned up drunk at a friend's house and then insisted that he came home with her. The teen said, "I attempted to keep her from driving her car, but she was very demanding. "My mother demanded that my friend go with us. He refused to drive with her because she was drunk. "Unfortunately this is not the only incident in which I have seen my mother drunk." Cortese, who is now living with Delaney's ex-husband Joe Cortese, claimed he hadn't seen his mom since August 11 and is keen to keep his distance. He added, "I do not want to be with her until she has completed rehab and is sober. I am very concerned for my safety when I am with her." The actress' alcohol problems were highlighted three years ago when she was arrested for drink-driving.

Vivica Blasts Talk Show Host

Kill Bill beauty Vivica A. Fox informed comedian Jimmy Kimmel he'd get his "a*s kicked" on Tuesday night, after he made fun of one of her close pals on his chat show. On his late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live has long poked fun at U.S. TV personality Star Jones Reynolds' weight and November marriage to investment banker Al Reynolds. And Fox, who served as a bridesmaid at the New York nuptials, was particularly disgusted when Kimmel continued his tirade of jokes at her pal's expense once she arrived on the stage. After greeting Kimmel's jokes about Jones Reynolds with frosty silence, the comedian noted, "We're off to a bad start... Maybe this will be on one of those DVDs 20 years from now. Great uncomfortable moments." Fox, ex-girlfriend of 50 Cent, responded, "We usually have really great comical moments, but that's my friend and I love her... It's not funny to me, so let's start over." But things failed to improve - when Kimmel suggested that he, Fox, Jones Reynolds and her husband get together, she responded, "You would get your a*s kicked... I would have to take off my shoe and beat you down, brother!" The interview ended soon afterwards.

Cox Rages Over Anorexia Claims

Actress Courteney Cox has slammed rumors she suffers from an eating disorder, insisting she has simply found her optimum weight. Critics feared the former Friends star's bony physique would spark a craze for anorexia among young girls, but Cox fumes that she has been used as a scapegoat for rise in food-related illnesses. She says, "If I like myself a certain way, I shouldn't have to feel like I'm responsible for anorexia across the country. "I have never had any control over what anyone does, in any capacity. If I like myself at this weight, this is what I'm going to be. "I don't have an eating disorder. I remember one magazine said: 'Courteney Cox Talks About Her Bulimia.' I didn't even say a word."

Damon's Girlfriend Rushed to Hospital

Hollywood star Matt Damon's girlfriend Luciana Barroso was rushed to a New York City hospital on Sunday, after she was struck down with food poisoning. The pretty Floridian is currently staying with her boyfriend of 16 months in New York as he films The Good Shepherd with Robert De Niro, Alec Baldwin and Angelina Jolie. On Sunday, Damon was seen comforting an ailing Barroso as she sought treatment at St Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan, according to PageSix.com. The Ocean's Twelve star's spokeswoman confirms, "She had food poisoning and got really dehydrated because of that."

Linney's Ghostly Encounter

Actress Laura Linney was forced to review her disbelief in ghosts when she saw a spectre at New York's Belasco Theater. The play house is famously haunted, but skeptic Linney felt sure she wouldn't come across a spirit - because she wasn't open to the idea. She says, "I was doing a play called Honor and the theatre is notoriously haunted. I heard about the legends of it for years, being a theatre person. The ghosts usually show up when the play is about to open and sure enough, we were doing a final run-through and I looked up and there in the upper balcony, which is a balcony that you can have no access to because it's locked from the street, I saw a woman standing at the balcony. She was at the edge of the balcony in a baby blue satin dress and blonde crimped hair. It didn't scare me. I just saw her there and I just thought, 'Hello,' and then I turned and said a line to my co-star, and then I looked up and the ghost was gone." A few days after her "little invitation", Linney took the story to the theatre manager, who filled her in with the place's dark past. She adds, "He told me that the electric guys will not go in the basement. The deceased theatre owner, David Belasco, supposedly shows up along with this one woman. So, I believe in ghosts now. I've experienced that."

Cage Donates Cash to New Orleans Neighbors

Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage has donated $1 million of his own cash to relief efforts residents of New Orleans affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Roberts Bans Brother from Baby Talk

Julia Roberts has banned her actor brother from talking publicly about her and her two children. The superstar actress recently ended her longtime rift with Eric Roberts and invited him to visit her and her and husband Danny Moder's nine-month old twins Phinneaus and Hazel. But he has been banned from talking about them to the press. He tells the New York Daily News, "Mom has told me Mom wants to talk about the kids. "Mom doesn't want Uncle talking about the kids."

Farrell Not So Macho

Colin Farrell has been embarrassed by his old schoolmates, who have shattered his tough image by insisting he used to be a posh "mummy's boy." The claims, which appear in Jane Kelly's unauthorised biography Colin Farrell: Living Dangerously, have unhinged the screen hunk's carefully crafted image, and his old pals are particularly amused by his strong Irish accent - which he never used to have. Childhood friend Peter Barry remembers, "He was seen as effeminate. They thought he was a sissy so he got picked on." Former pal Ritchie Molloy snipes, "He pretends he's from a tough part of Dublin but he's not." Another former schoolmate adds, "Colin sounds quite broad Dublin these days but everyone knows he's posher than he makes out."

Stone furious over role lost to Zeta-Jones

Sharon Stone is reportedly furious that the lead role in a biopic of Lana Turner has gone to Catherine Zeta-Jones.

The “Basic Instinct” star has been in the running for that part for years — and Turner herself reportedly wanted Stone to play her.

But producers are said to have wanted a younger star to play the late screen goddess, whose daughter, Cheryl Crane, stabbed and killed Turner’s lover, Johnny Stompanato. Turner was 37 at the time; Stone is currently 47. Catherine Zeta-Jones is 35. Producers were also said to be talking to 20-year-old star Scarlett Johansson.

Stone has been quoted as saying that she met Turner shortly before her death from throat cancer in 1995, and the screen goddess told her that if there was ever a movie made about her, she wanted Stone to play her. “I met Lana in her final years and liked her a great deal,” Stone said. “She was every inch the great movie star and we got along really well. She said if there was a film to be made on her life, then I was her choice.”

Vote Martha’s catchphrase off the island
Don’t shove Stewart into a mold made for Donald Trump

http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/050830/050930_stewart_vmed_1p.widec.jpg

Martha Stewart's new "Apprentice" debuts in just over three weeks. A spin-off of Donald Trump's "Apprentice," the series will use the formula but adapt everything to Martha's businesses and personality, or so we've been told. And as the countdown to Martha's public reemergence continues, Martha, show producers, and NBC have increasingly revealed more about the show.

In fact, so much has been announced publicly that the first episode might have only one or two surprises. It's as if viewers are being conditioned to become familiar with the series before it debuts so that we'll not only watch, but feel like we already know the show.

"The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" will open with "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics. "I love Annie Lennox," Martha Stewart said at a press conference, and thus Annie replaces the O'Jays and their "For the Love of Money."

The 16 contestants that will compete to work side-by-side with Martha are 10 women and six men who range in age from 22 to 42.

They include a chef and a news anchor, and their first task will be to rewrite and update a classic fairy tale.

That task will be sponsored by Random House, and just like in Donald Trump's version, there will be plenty of product placement. Martha's tasks and series will feature paid appearances by companies such as GM's Buick, Westin Hotels, Song airlines, and Kraft's Tassimo coffee makers.

The contestants will live in a "loft," not a Trump-like "suite," and be dismissed in a "conference room," not a "boardroom." Supervising them and serving as Martha's right and left hands will be her daughter and chairman of the board. Alexis Stewart will fill the Carolyn role, while Martha Stewart Omnimedia's Charles Koppelman will serve as the new show's George.

Phrase is no ‘The tribe has spoken’
The one thing that producers and Martha wouldn't tell us is her dismissal catchphrase. Executive producer and "Apprentice" creator Mark Burnett blandly said at a press conference, "There's a wonderful commonality at the end of every show that Martha came up with ... and it is a totally fresh look and something you will definitely remember." But neither he nor Martha would say any more.

Still, their best efforts to keep it a secret have apparently failed, as the gossip hounds at Page Six reported today what Martha will tell evicted contestants. She'll say, "You just don't fit in."
If that's correct — and it's yet to be confirmed — we now know why it was being kept secret: It's the lamest catchphrase in reality television's history.

"You just don't fit in?" This is "The Apprentice," not a commune, club, or clique. Telling someone they don't fit in might hurt their feelings a little, but it doesn't seem to work for an elimination-based show. Saying "You just don't fit in" doesn't even really suggest that they should leave the room.

If the goal was to be kinder, what about, "Please leave my house" or "I no longer wish to look at your lovely face"? Even the two options that Martha said she rejected — "You're not a good thing" and "You’re a bad thing" — have more life and humor than the one that was apparently selected.

Mark Burnett's formula, as seen on "Survivor," "The Apprentice," and "The Contender," is effective for both storytelling and game purposes. But perhaps trying to replace Trump-shaped "Apprentice" pieces with Martha-shaped "Apprentice" pieces isn't the best idea.

At a press conference, talking about her secret catchphrase, Martha Stewart joked, "What I really wanted to say is, 'Your ass is grass.'"

That's the Martha we need to see, the Martha we want. We don't want a Trump clone nor a neutered, watered-down version of him who tells people that they've found the wrong group of friends.

We want a prison-hardened entrepreneur who isn't afraid to be who she is, and who isn't afraid to show us who she is. Perhaps all of this will come when "Martha Stewart: The Apprentice" debuts.

But right now, it just doesn't seem to fit.

Leo and Gisele split up. Again.

Leonardo DiCaprio and his model girlfriend, Gisele, have reportedly split-up. Again.

Sources claim the on-off couple have decided to call time on their relationship after a series of arguments...

A friend told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "It was bound to happen sooner or later."

The star pair have always had a rocky relationship since they started dating four years ago. Gisele split briefly from Leonardo last year, after reportedly becoming tired of waiting for him to propose.

In October 2004, the catwalk beauty was spotted fleeing their Los Angeles home before flying to New York. A source close to the couple said at the time: "It's definitely over. Gisele got fed up with waiting for Leo to pop the question. She loves him but doesn't see him as the man she will marry." The Brazilian beauty previously ditched Leo in 2001 after a huge row over his partying with friends.

But the handsome actor won her back several months later after bombarding her with flowers and phone calls, and taking her on a romantic holiday to Hawaii.

Leo one said of Gisele: "Part of being in a relationship is loyalty, and I will say that Gisele is a wonderful human being."

Shatner, Mullally to go for 'Emmy Idol'
Talent contest a new event for TV awards

Tuesday, September 6, 2005; Posted: 9:21 a.m. EDT (13:21 GMT)

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The Emmy Awards will be singing a different tune at this month's ceremony, and it could be a classic.

In an "American Idol"-style competition, stars and singers ranging from William Shatner to Donald Trump to Frederica von Stade will perform themes from TV series, with viewers able to pick their favorite song via online or text-message voting.

Kristen Bell ("Veronica Mars") will be the only solo performer, with her version of the "Fame" theme, while others will sing duets.

The dynamic duos announced by CBS and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for the contest tagged "Emmy Idol":

William Shatner ("Boston Legal") and opera's von Stade with the theme from Shatner's 1960s series "Star Trek.

Megan Mullally ("Will & Grace") and Trump ("The Apprentice") with the "Green Acres" tune.

Gary Dourdan (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation") and R&B artist Macy Gray with "Movin' On Up" from "The Jeffersons."

"There are certain television theme songs that are nearly as memorable as the shows connected to them," said Ken Ehrlich, the ceremony's executive producer.

"By jogging memories as well as creating wonderful moments by having them performed on this year's Emmy show, we think we're giving viewers one more reason to tune in and be entertained," Ehrlich said in a weekend statement.

The September 18 ceremony on CBS will open with Earth, Wind & Fire performing its song "September" along with the Black Eyed Peas, the number serving as an accompaniment to clips of memorable moments from the past season.

While music is an integral part of the Academy Awards, which feature nominated movie songs, it's not typically key to the ceremony honoring the best of television.

Musical entertainment in an awards ceremony can be a risky proposition. The best-known example: Rob Lowe and a performer dressed as Snow White dancing in an opening number for the 1995 Oscars was widely panned as dreadful.

Meanwhile, in honor of the victims of Hurricane Katrina, Ehrlich said all Emmy presenters and performers will be given magnolias, the state flower of both Louisiana and Mississippi. In addition, he said information will be provided throughout the three-hour telecast on how viewers can support the massive recovery effort.

Emmy host Ellen DeGeneres, who is a Louisiana native, last week spoke emotionally about loses her family suffered from Katrina. She last hosted the Emmys in 2001, when she was praised for striking just the right tone for the ceremony, which had been delayed twice in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

Paltrow Misses Film Festival After Plane Drama

Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow missed the Venice Film Festival after her airplane developed a technical fault and was diverted back to New York. The blonde movie star was due to attend a press conference at the Italian event to promote her new film Proof, which also stars Sir Anthony Hopkins and Donnie Darko heart-throb Jake Gyllenhaal. Speaking via mobile phone, Paltrow told the assembled media her aborted trip had been "absolutely, extraordinarily unpleasant. I had all kinds of plane problems ... but I was very, very sorry not to be with you. It was going to be the highlight of my summer." Proof has been nominated for the festival's top prize, the Golden Lion, and re-unites Paltrow with her Shakespeare In Love director John Madden. In it, she plays a woman struggling to cope with her father's mental deterioration, a role she first played on stage at London's Donmar Warehouse theatre in 2002.

Dunst Denies Bloom Fling

Hollywood beauty Kirsten Dunst has furiously denied she had a fling with movie heart-throb Orlando Bloom on the set of forthcoming movie Elizabethtown. The 23-year-old actress admits growing closer to the Lord Of The Rings star while filming Cameron Crowe's comedy-drama last year, but insists their friendship never blossomed into romance. When asked about off-screen relationships at the Venice Film Festival in Italy at the weekend she said, "If you're alluding to whether Orlando and I got together then that's a no. No." But Dunst understands why actors are tempted to romance their co-stars. She adds, "There are a lot of charismatic people in this industry... and I can understand why people on location get together."

Simpson Shies Away from Christian Roots

Blonde bombshell Jessica Simpson has abandoned her strict Christian upbringing, admitting she rarely goes to church or reads the bible anymore. The Dukes Of Hazzard star launched her career on the Christian music circuit - backed by her Baptist minister father Joe - and famously refused to have sex before marrying husband Nick Lachey. But her current Hollywood lifestyle has little in common with her Southern Baptist childhood. She says, "Me and my family got out of that and came to LA. To see all forms of meditation and prayer made me less judgmental."

Jackson "Undergoing Major Makeover"

Michael Jackson's appearance is undergoing a major revamp as he hides away from the American press in Bahrain and prepares to relaunch his career, according to an American author. Michael C. Luckman, who wrote Alien Rock: The Rock 'N' Roll Connection, claims the 47-year-old is working on a more macho appearance which has seen him working out, wearing shorter wigs and using less make-up. Luckman tells website PageSix.com that Jackson's parents Joseph and Katherine are coordinating the make-over as the Bad singer holds talks with a Las Vegas, Nevada, hotel over a long-term performing deal. And Luckman expects Jackson to return to his position as the king of pop: "Michael Jackson is headed to the stratosphere. Nothing can stop him now."

Miller Thankful For Law's Support

Sienna Miller insists she has received invaluable support since the shock of finding out about her partner Jude Law's infidelity - particularly from Law himself. The Layer Cake beauty is feeling stronger than ever, but has bemused fans by praising Law's kindness during her ordeal, even though he was the one who broke her heart in the first place by having a month-long affair with his children's nanny, Daisy Wright. She says, "I'd be lying if I said that it hasn't been a really rough Couple of months. But at the end of the day I've got a huge support system. My mum, my sister, all my best mates and Jude have been really supportive of me. Actually it's you know, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

Mickey Rourke reportedly attacked a fan who tried to take his picture at a London nightclub. The 'Sin City' star, who has been photographed with a string of different women during his short stay in the capital, was allegedly so furious he smashed the unknown man's camera.

An onlooker at trendy Boujis nightclub revealed to Britain's Saturday Telegraph newspaper: "Last Tuesday night Rourke was knocking back the vodkas with his new best friend, Australian cricketer Shane Warne, when he took exception to a fan taking his photograph.

"The two of them were sitting at a table when Rourke suddenly leapt up and grappled this guy to the ground.

It turns out he just wanted a keepsake but Rourke was incensed.
He grabbed the camera and smashed it on the floor.

Jodie Foster slams 'ageing' Cher

Jodie Foster has slammed Cher for having plastic surgery - insisting the singer is fighting a "losing battle" against ageing. The 43-year-old actress admits she is starting to look old, but has vowed never to go under the surgeon's knife like the cosmetic surgery loving star.

Jodie said: "I'm starting to see all the funny changes. As an actor, you look at photos of yourself and go, 'Oh, what is that?' "It's an awkward period, between 40 and 50, and I don't want to go through it. I don't want to compete in a losing battle. I don't want to be Cher."

Earlier this year, Cher admitted she was getting old by telling fans on her 'Living Proof' farewell tour her ageing body couldn't take the strain of touring any more.

She quipped: "My boobs would be down to my kneecaps and I would be toothless So I don't think it is really a good idea to keep touring"

Jay-Z blingin' birthday gifts

Rapper Jay-Z spent more than $1million on a diamond ring and watch for fiancée Beyoncé Knowles' birthday. The Destiny's Child beauty was given the luxury jewellery by the hip-hop star at the weekend to celebrate her turning 24.

Meanwhile, the rapper, who is believed to have amassed a £1-1-1 million fortune, has joined up with fellow rapper Diddy to donate $1 million to the victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

The two hip-hop moguls are among a galaxy of music stars to pledge financial support to the ravaged area, Celine Dion and actor Nicholas Cage also made similar donations this week.

Britney into Kabbalah, but doesn’t quite get it

Britney Spears is really into Kabbalah — even though she doesn’t, like, really understand it all.

“I read the Kabbalah books and I meditate on them,” she says, according to Elle magazine. “They are all in Hebrew. I don’t understand everything. But it’s kind of OK that you don’t.”

Her hubby Kevin Federline, however, isn’t as taken with trendy religion. “Kevin isn’t into it as intensely as I am,” she said. “For some reason I’m thirsting for it. But he looks at the books every once in a while.’

Crew-less in Manhattan

Paul McCartney’s wife is taking on J. Crew.

Heather Mills — who, like her hubby, is a staunch animal rights supporter — is preparing to launch a protest of the fashion chain outside its corporate headquarters in Manhattan next week, according a source, who says that Heather will be calling for a boycott of the preppy clothing chain. “J. Crew has reneged on its promise not to use fur,” says a source, who says that the former model will screen a video exposé of the places J. Crew gets its fur. “They’re using fur from China, where no animal protection laws exist and the Beijing Times reports animals are literally skinned alive.”

Mills will be in the U.S. to be honored by animal rights group PETA at a star-studded bash in Hollywood on Saturday, and in a statement McCartney gushes about his activist wife: “I could have been attracted to women who didn’t think like that, who just like to have steak all the time, but I’ve been very lucky. Heather is a strong woman, she’s unstoppable against cruelty”

Heath Ledger on the move

Heath Ledger is mulling a move from Los Angeles to Italy with his pregnant girlfriend Michelle Williams. “I have kind of been living out of bags for the past 13 years. I will just stick to that,” Ledger said, according to IOL.com. “Home is, like, Earth. I don’t care where I land. I am actually thinking of going to live in Italy. The food and wine are great there. We have a few places up our sleeves. I would much rather work in Europe than America.”

No model behavior for Naomi Campbell

Looks like Naomi Campbell’s anger-management courses didn’t work so well.

The temperamental model is being accused of yet another violent outburst.

Campbell and Brazilian model Marcelle Bittar “gave quite a show of punches and slaps” in an exclusive Sao Paulo restaurant last week, according to our source there.

Marcelle confronted Naomi for mistreating a common friend of theirs, a model booker, allegedly punching and kicking him and causing him to lose his job. “I promised myself to confront her about that next time I saw her,” Marcelle told Sao Paulo columnist Monica Bergamo. She apparently kept her promise, and Campbell responded in kind.

Campbell’s rep has denied the story, accusing Marcelle of behaving strangely at the restaurant.

McCarthy turns new page with divorce

Jenny McCarthy was writing a light-hearted book about marriage — until her divorce.

The former pin-up penned a book called “Marriage Laughs” and a source says she had just sold the humorous, how-to guide for $1 million.

“Jenny was deliriously in love with her husband and her book, which is hilarious, was going to be a [part of a] series about marriage,” says a source. “Jenny was going to be the spokeswoman for a generation of young, sassy, married women. But just as the contract was being signed, Jenny filed for divorce.”

“Irreconcilable differences” were cited in McCarthy’s split from her husband of six years, John Asher, who directed her in the film “Diamonds.” The book, however, will survive — in a different form. It will be published this spring by Dutton. “They’re changing the name to ‘Life Laughs: The Naked Truth From the Front Line,’” says the source. "The humor is still there, but some of the subject material is being changed — obviously.”

Chad & Sophia

Chad Michael Murray insists his wife, Sophia Bush, knew all about his recent outing to a strip club. The “House of Wax” star told Teen People that he was just tired after a day of promoting the horror flick.

Lohan says Duff rebuffed her peace attempt

Lindsay Lohan claims that she tried to end the infamous feud between her and Hilary Duff, but, she says, she got hung up on when she called.

“I called her last week, and I was like, ‘Do you wanna hang out?’ And her sister hung up the phone on me!” Lohan told the magazine Australian. “I don’t like having enemies ... and there’s the saying, keep your friends close but your enemies closer.”

The feud supposedly started when Lohan learns that Duff is dating her ex-sweetie, singer Aaron Carter. “It was like, literally, four years ago when that happened, we were 14, 15, we liked a boy, it was like a crush," Lohan says. "Eurgh, it was so stupid! And I was like, ‘We have a lot of similar friends in LA, let’s just be cool, so if we see each other everything’s fine.’ I don’t wanna have fights with people.”

TV's Gilligan Dead

Somewhere, on some channel, in some time zone, the first mate of the S.S. Minnow is snoozing in a hammock, still boyish, still bumbling, still Gilligan.

Bob Denver, immortalized in TV reruns as the most clueless castaway of Gilligan's Island, died at a North Carolina hospital Friday from cancer-related complications, his family announced Tuesday. He was 70.

Denver underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery in May.

"He gave us the gift of love and laughter," the Denver family said in a statement, "even in his passing."

Russell Johnson, the brainy professor to Denver's brainless wonder on Gilligan's Island, said he shared tears with Denver's friends and fans. "Frankly, Bob Denver would adore your laughter most of all," Johnson said on his Website. "That's more likely why God created him."

Denver starred on Gilligan's Island from 1964 to '67. The sitcom about seven shipwreck survivors, from Hollywood bombshell to Kansas farm girl, was never an Emmy nominee, was not a critical favorite and was a top 20 hit just once. It produced 98 episodes, two fewer than the traditional 100 believed to be mandatory for syndication success. And yet it was in reruns that the show became inescapable, if not indestructible.

"It's 40 years this year it's been on the air continually," Denver observed in 2004 to the Charleston Gazette, a newspaper based in his adopted home state of West Virginia.

If viewers wouldn't let go of Gilligan, Denver never broke with the Skipper's "little buddy," either. He revisited the character several times, in several incarnations, from Saturday morning cartoons (1974's Gilligan's Planet, 1982's Gilligan's Planet) to reunion TV-movies (led by 1978's top-rated Rescue from Gilligan's Island), to a cameo on ALF.

A slightly earlier TV generation, however, arguably best remembered Denver as Maynard G. Krebs, the bongo-playing beatnik on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (1959-1963). "I just loved him," series star Duane Hickman told the Associated Press Tuesday. "He was wonderful. One of my dear, dear friends. I feel like a part of me died.

Though not a rerun phenomenon, Dobie Gillis was a heartier prime-time specimen, cranking out nearly 50 more first-run episodes than Gilligan's Island.

Denver's 1993 autobiography played tribute to both of his iconic incarnations: Gilligan, Maynard & Me. Like a good parent, the actor refused to play favorites.

"I enjoyed both equally, but in different ways," Denver wrote on his Website. "Maynard gave me the chance to do wonderful word comedy...When I was offered Gilligan, I chose it because that character gave me the chance to do physical comedy, which I love."

"With Maynard and Gilligan, I had the best of both worlds."

Born in New Rochelle, New York, on Jan. 9, 1935, Denver enjoyed a prime-time run of 11 consecutive years, from 1959, with the debut of Dobie Gillis, to 1970, with the demise of The Good Guys, a little-remembered sitcom that ran for two seasons. Gilligan's Island--a script Denver snagged only because comedian Jerry Van Dyke turned it down first--was sandwiched in between those two shows.

Following The Good Guys, Denver returned to series work with the 1973 syndicated Old West comedy, Dusty's Trail. In 1975, the gone-gray comic starred in the Sid and Marty Krofft children's TV demi-classic Far Out Space Nuts.

Three years later, Denver dusted off Gilligan's floppy white hat and long-sleeved red polo. At 43, the shirt seemed baggier and the antics more desperate, but Rescue from Gilligan's Island was popular enough to spawn two more TV-movies, 1979's The Castaways on Gilligan's Island and 1981's The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island.

The critical kibosh on the show, however, remained. In a 1994 Canadian radio interview, Denver was asked if the Smithsonian Institution, home to Archie Bunker's living-room chair and Fonzie's leather jacket, had requested Gilligan's hat.

"Nah, the Smithsonian doesn't ask for anything back from Gilligan," Denver said. "They haven't dropped that low yet."

Denver was back in the headlines in 1998 when he was arrested for marijuana possession. And he created some buzz last year when he launched an oldies station, dubbed "Little Buddy Radio" in West Virginia, and called out TBS' new reality series spin on his old show, The Real Gilligan's Island.

"I really don't think this show is going to work," Denver told the Bluefield [West Virginia] Daily Telegraph. "...I'd like to see them put a lion or a tiger on the island, but I really don't think that would happen."

With Denver's death, Tina Louise, who played movie-star Ginger Grant, and the rest, Johnson and Dawn Wells, as Mary Ann, the farm girl, are the only surviving castaways of the original Gilligan cast. Alan Hale Jr., the Skipper, died in 1990; Jim Backus, the millionaire, in 1989; Natalie Schafer, the millionaire's wife, in 1991.

Denver said all the actors on the series were typecast as a result of the Gilligan reruns that never died, but he, for one, wasn't bitter.

"When you've been part of a show that has made so many people happy and continues to do so to this day, it's hard to resent it," Denver said on his Website. "Besides that, I'm also known as Maynard, which means I say 'WORK?!?!' for fans almost as much as I say, 'Skipper!' "

Survivors include his four children, and Dreama, his wife of 28 years.

"Bob was and always will be my everything," Dreama Denver said in a statement. "I love you, Bob Denver."

Reese Witherspoon in Paparazzi Attack

Reese Witherspoon has become the latest star caught up in an alleged paparazzi attack after one photographer assaulted two men while attempting to photograph the actress and her kids. The Legally Blonde star was enjoying a day out at Disney's California Adventure theme park in Anaheim on Friday when she was confronted with an "aggressive and frightening" photographer. As park employees attempted to move Witherspoon to a safer area, the snapper allegedly assaulted two park employees, prompting security to call the police. The photographer, Todd Wallace, was cited for two misdemeanor counts of assault and battery and will appear in court next month. Witherspoon recently lost a court battle with a group of paparazzi she claimed "besieged" her in April. The actress alleged false imprisonment claiming photographers blocked her car, so she couldn't drive off after working out at a Los Angeles gym.

Fatherhood Prompts Affleck To Ditch Parties

Ben Affleck has ditched Hollywood parties for a more serene life since his wife Jennifer Garner became pregnant, according to his director pal Kevin Smith. Daredevil co-stars Affleck and Garner, who wed at the end of June, after expecting the arrival of their first child together this winter. And while Affleck has been notably absent from his beloved poker tables, he's also become less of a fixture at Tinseltown gatherings. Smith says, "He seems to have settled down, regardless. He hasn't been a party guy for a little while now. I think it's phenomenal. I think he'll be a fantastic dad. When we were working on Jersey Girl, we had a lot of babies on our set, and he was always really great with them. I think most guys are like me - they tend to shy away from other people's kids because you never want to be the a*s that drops somebody's baby. He was fearless. He would scoop them up and throw them into the air."

Reid Is Robbed

American Pie actress Tara Reid is heartbroken after her designer handbag containing $180,000 worth of jewelry was snatched at the Spanish isle of Ibiza's airport on Sunday. Reid, who is in Europe shooting her reality TV show Wild On Tara, reportedly became "hysterical" over the loss, as the glittering collection held great sentimental value to her. A source explains, "Before she had even managed to collect her luggage from the carousel an opportunist swiped her black Balenciaga handbag from the trolley. In the bag Tara had her Rolex watch, which was of huge sentimental value to her, plus her personal jewelry collection. The police said the likelihood of catching the thief was slim."

Not-so ‘Simple Life’ for reality show
Paris and Nicole's feud creating problems for producers

Former best friends Nicole Richie, left, and Paris Hilton are no longer speaking to each other, which is causing problems for the producers of “The Simple Life.”

The stars of the reality series — former best friends Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie — have had a falling out, and a source says that the producers of the show are trying to figure out how they can proceed even though the two aren’t speaking to each other. “They’re trying to figure out ways to do it where Paris and Nicole don’t appear in any scenes together,” says the source. “They’re really having to think outside the box.”

The source also says that producers “weren’t very happy” when Hilton suggested that her new best friend, Kimberly Stewart, the 25-year-old daughter of rocker Rod Stewart, replace Richie on the series. Says the source, “They were like, ‘Uh, Paris, Nicole has a contract.’”

Gwen Stefani's showbiz tears

Gwen Stefani claims her showbiz lifestyle makes her cry. .

The sexy 'Cool' singer - who has also started up her own fashion label, LAMB - says her gruelling work schedule gets her down and she often bursts into tears because she can't cope with all the demands placed upon her.

She explained: "An example of my day would be, go to Italy to shoot a video and squeeze in a meeting about a jewellery range that ends up taking up five hours.

"Then I sort out clothes and make-up for the video, which takes a couple of hours. Finally we start shooting - that takes five hours Then I start to cry because I'm supposed to be on holiday".

However, the blonde beauty says she manages to put her 'problems' in perspective with the help of her friends.

Gwen, 35, claims whenever she starts to feel sorry for herself, her pals bring her back down to earth by reminding her she is a pampered pop star

She added in an interview with Britain's Grazia magazine: "My friends tease me and I start to laugh Then I think I'm so lucky to have all these opportunities - this is what I wanted Then I go to sleep, wake up and start again Every day I have these "pinch me" moments, so I'm not complaining about anything."

Britney Spears' pregnancy binge

Britney Spears has reportedly gained a massive 51 pounds during her pregnancy.

The singer, who is expecting her first child with husband Kevin Federline, has been spotted looking increasingly heavier in recent months but now sources claim the weight gain is out of hand.

Britney, who due to give birth later this month , has gone from an estimated 119lbs to 170lbs and her team are now worried she won't be able to get back into shape after the baby, rumoured to be a boy, is born.

A source told America's Star magazine: "Britney needs to work out, with up to 45 minutes of cardio six days a week, and some high-intensity strength training three to four times a week, if she is gonna shift the weight". Britney, 23, has become addicted to fried chicken and calorific milkshakes in the last stages of her pregnancy.

The singer has reportedly been tucking into buckets of chicken from popular Los Angeles fast-food restaurant Koo Koo Roo and been washing down the greasy meals with local speciality 'chillatos' - an ice cream shake that contain 1220 calories each.

Jessica and Ashlee Simpson slammed by star snapper

Jessica and Ashlee Simpson have become the target of a vicious verbal attack by celebrity photographer David LaChapelle.

The respected snapper, who directed Christina Aguilera's 'Dirrty' video, has branded the sexy siblings nothing more than "lip-synching television stars".

He ranted to America's New York Daily News newspaper: "They're everything that's wrong with music, they're everything wrong with culture, and everything wrong with art - in one family! .

"They're nothing. They have nothing. They hold no interest whatsoever for anybody. They're reality-red-carpet, lip-synching television stars. I don't think they offer anything". Sources claim LaChapelle took a dislike to Jessica and Ashlee after they refused to pose for him for Rolling Stone magazine.

However, the top lensman, who has worked with Madonna and Janet Jackson, claims he was only planning to photograph them for the publication as a favour.

He sniped: "I was only doing it because of my relationship with Rolling Stone We were going to try and make the Simpsons look cool. I realise now that is an impossible task."

'Survivor' winner indicted

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) -- Richard Hatch, who won $1 million on the first season of the reality show "Survivor," was indicted Thursday for failing to pay taxes on his winnings.

Prosecutors had charged Hatch with two counts of tax evasion in January, and he agreed to plead guilty. But he backed out of the deal in March, saying he thought CBS was responsible for paying the taxes on his prize.

CBS has said Hatch knew he had to pay taxes on the winnings.

The new indictment charges Hatch with 10 counts including tax evasion, filing a false tax return, wire fraud, bank fraud and mail fraud. According to the indictment, his 2000 and 2001 tax returns omitted his income from the reality show, $327,000 he was paid to co-host a radio show and $28,000 in rent on a property he owns in Newport.

Hatch, 44, also was accused of misusing $36,500 from a nonprofit camp he set up, Horizon Bound.

If found guilty on all charges, he could face up to 75 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines.

Hatch was on a plane headed for Houston on Thursday to help hurricane victims at the Astrodome and could not be reached for comment, according to a spokesman for Hatch's attorney, Michael Minns.

Hatch won during the first season of "Survivor" in August 2000. He has since appeared on other TV shows, most recently the "Battle of the Network Reality Stars" on Bravo.

Paltrow Enjoyed Benefit From Her Plane Troubles

Gwyneth Paltrow was relieved by her recent plane woes - because it meant she didn't have to spend a single day apart from her daughter Apple. The Shakespeare In Love star was preparing spend her first full day away from the one-year-old on Sunday to fly to the Venice Film Festival to promote her new movie Proof. But technical problems prompted Paltrow's plane to return to New York City. She says, "I was supposed to leave her for the first time ever this weekend... I was nervous about leaving her, but I sort of plucked up the courage and I packed and I got on the plane. I was not going to see her for one day. It is a big deal. I was nervous about it. I got to the airport and got on the plane and I was sort of calming myself down and then the plane was delayed an hour because the pilot said they were loading 3,000 pounds of US mail onto the plane. We took off and we got about an hour over the Atlantic and then the pilot came on and said what you really don't want to hear when you're a passenger on a plane, which is, 'Ladies and gentlemen, we have a problem.' It turned out that all the navigational systems on the plane were not working and each one was saying we were in a different spot. So we had to turn around and go back." But the plane journey back was just the start of Paltrow's crazy day: "I had this crazy drive to eastern Long Island to go try catch up with my husband and daughter. I had this very sweet driver who didn't speak a word of English. He went into a 7-11 (grocery store) parking lot for like 15 minutes at 2 (o'clock) in the morning and left me in the back of the car... He was doing something. He emerged from the bushes in front of the car 15 minutes later. I got (to my family) at about 3.30 in the morning."

She says, "Everyone in Hollywood is so damn skinny, and you constantly feel like you're not skinny enough. But I have 'fat days' and I accept that I'm never going to be rail thin. I try not to let the pressure get to me but Los Angeles is a very hard place to be unless you have people here that love you.

However, Renee, who co-stars in the movie with Russell Crowe, walked the red carpet alone because country singer Kenny was away working.

She explained: "He's just finishing work." The busy couple have reportedly spent just 15 days together since they wed on a Caribbean island four months ago.

Kenny set off on his US tour shortly after their whirlwind wedding, which he only finished two weeks ago.

Last month, it was alleged the newlyweds were having crisis talks in a bid to save their marriage However, at the time, the couple's spokesperson insisted their relationship was absolutely fine.

Taradise Lost

It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that our beloved Taradise is no more. Our spies have told us that E! has cast out Tara Reid and her globetrotting, club-hopping crew from its movable Eden, calling them back stateside (with two episodes unshot, we hear), and plunging our televisions into a postlapsarian wasteland devoid of the party-positive innocence that only a half-in-the-bag Reid could deliver. We’re not exactly sure what’s going to happen to the footage that’s already been shot, or if any more episodes from the aborted season will air, but let’s all hope for a Wilder On Tara: The Lost Taradise Parties special (we dare not dream of an uncensored DVD); that might help ease the pain of our profound loss. We’d pour out a little liquor for Tara, but fear she’d dive on the ground, mouth agape, to prevent our maudlin waste of a single drop.

The point of the show is to just show you a little bit of party life around the globe.

The seller apparently worked on “The Good Shepherd,” a film set to be released next year starring Damon and Angelina Jolie, and he or she promises to send a pay stub to help establish the provenance of the crème puff. The opening bid is $200, and the item is just the latest in a spate of celeb-chomped items to be offered to the public; Britney Spears’s used chewing gum was recently hawked on line.

“This is 100% real and is the prop eaten on screen,” promises the seller. “GREAT COLLECTORS ITEM, whether you keep the crème puff or not, you have the ORIGINAL PROP from the movie which is sure to be an OSCAR nominated film….”

Brad Pitt and George Clooney's car saviour

Brad Pitt and George Clooney paid a college student $500 for a ride in his car. The Hollywood heavyweights were left stranded on their way to Manhattan when their plane was diverted to Syracuse in New York.

Undeterred, the pair stopped a passing teenage driver and offered him the sum to drive them to their destination.

A source revealed: "They found a college kid and paid him to drive them in his car. He was so shocked he called his mom from the car." The 'Ocean's Twelve' co-stars also promised their 'saviour' a night in the swanky Mandarin Oriental hotel, according to a report in America's New York Daily News newspaper.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Diana fears

Gwyneth Paltrow is terrified she will meet the same tragic fate as the late Princess Diana. The Hollywood actress, who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, says the paparazzi are so aggressive and relentless in pursuing her that she fears she could be involved in a fatal accident – just as the princess was in a Paris car crash in 1997.

Gwyneth is also worried her baby daughter, Apple, is at risk.

She confessed: "If I have my daughter in the car and they are making me nervous, I'll do whatever I have to do." The beautiful blonde says she is doing everything she can to prevent the paparazzi from putting her life in danger.
She told America's V Life magazine: "I keep a whole log. I take pictures of their cars, write down license plate numbers, everything.

If they do it again, I can go to the police I know my rights, and believe me, I will have them arrested I will stop at nothing" In recent months, several stars have been involved in nasty paparazzi incidents - Scarlett Johansson and Lindsay Lohan were both involved in car accidents while trying to escape photographers, while Reese Witherspoon claimed shutterbugs tried to prevent her from leaving a Los Angeles gym by blocking her car.

Jennifer 'Mom' Lopez

Jennifer Lopez insists all her staff call her 'Mom'. .

The Latin diva has confessed she asks her employees to address her as 'Mom' because she feels so maternal to them all. She explained: "Everybody calls me Mom in my real life - everybody who works for me. I guess I'm just a caretaker".

Jennifer, who is married to singer Marc Anthony, also played mother to her 14-year-old co-star Becca Gardner in new movie 'An Unfinished Life'.
She is quoted as saying: " I'm your mom and I'm going to take care of you" .

Earlier this month, Jennifer sparked rumours she was about to become a real life mother after she was spotted shopping for baby clothes at Beverly Hills store Petite Tresor.

Sources claimed the sexy star even confessed to staff the tiny clothes were for her baby. One revealed: "JLo came in to buy some little outfits We all presumed it was for a niece or a family friend, but she said, 'It's for me' "She then smiled and carried on looking around before buying some early-learning books"

Portia de Rossi to marry Ellen

Portia de Rossi wants to wed lover Ellen Degeneres if gay marriages are legalised in the US. But the 'Ally McBeal' beauty insists comedienne Degeneres, who she has been romancing for almost a year, would have to propose to her first.

She is quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "I have to be asked.

But I love the idea of marriage. I think it's beautiful. I'm such a romantic and I always have been. " But the actress revealed she and talk show host Degeneres are happier than ever with their relationship - even if same sex marriages are not currently permitted.

She said: "I'm happier than I ever thought I could be. Ellen's incredible. Just being a couple, being able to walk down a red carpet, holding her hand, that's exciting for me"

Pete Doherty Claims To Have Wed Kate Moss

Rock hellraiser Pete Doherty claims he has married supermodel girlfriend Kate Moss in secret.

The Babyshambles singer taunted photographers who caught him and Moss arriving at a London birthday party for Jude Law and Sadie Frost's youngest son Rudy, three.

After telling snappers the pair had wed, Doherty said, "You've missed it." He then held up his wedding ring finger, weighed down by a heavy ring, and said, "This is not a rude gesture, I'm just showing you my ring.".

OMG, I actually felt BAD for Tara Reid and all the bad press she gets.. until I saw this show. TOTALLY well-deserved. She acts like SUCH a moron - and half the time she's visibly drunk and acting like an even bigger ass. The pictures really DO capture how she acts, in my opinion!
I kept thinking the whole time, 'Did she or her agent watch the shows beforehand?', b/c they were such an embarassment. What was with there being the extra girl to just agree w/ everything? It was just awful and made her look so bad.

Elijah Wood gets laugh out of gay rumors

By Jeannette Walls
MSNBC
Updated: 2:42 a.m. ET Sept. 13, 2005
Elijah Wood is finally addressing those gay rumors. And unlike certain megabucks stars — Tom Cruise, for instance — he’s not threatening to sue. In fact, the “Lord of the Rings” star seems amused. Wood says he likes to surf the Web and look at doctored photos that put him in compromising positions with men.

“There’s one that’s called elijahwoodisveryverygay, which is actually a personal favorite of mine, it’s absolutely hilarious,” Wood said, reports World Entertainment News Network. “It’s this kind of joke Web site that maintains that they have proof that I am very, very gay in various photographs — photographic evidence (of me) holding hands with a male.”

Wood says some of the “photos” are pretty realistic. “I was actually at a film festival once... and this fan came up with a gift... I open the gift in front of all these people that I’m talking to and it happens to be a photo from one of these Web sites of me and [LOTR co-star] Dominic Monaghan making sweet love,” Wood explains.” If you didn’t know any better, it kinda looks real. These people have a lot of time on their hands and my hat’s off (to them) because it’s very good work.””

Fey, 35, and her husband, Jeff Richmond, were married in 2001. Fey has been head writer at "SNL" for five years; Richmond is a composer for the show.

Guenther Klum wasn't immediately available to confirm the report.

Photographer Arrested on Pitt Movie Set

Brad Pitt's battle with the paparazzi continued on Friday night when a photographer was arrested on the set of his new movie The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford in Fort Edmonton, Canada. Snapper David Buston was discovered by security staff hiding in a building on the western movie's set - which is closely guarded from the public. But Buston insists he is not a paparazzo because he concentrates mainly on photographing sporting events and weddings. The 55-year-old says, "I suppose it would be a good thing in the paparazzi (circles), but also the better guys who do it don't get caught. It's not necessarily a feather in my cap." And he maintains he was treated fairly when police arrived to arrest him for mischief and interference: "The police were really quite nice guys and they seemed to understand that I was trying to make a living." Production spokesperson Lee Anne Muldoon says, "It is not unusual for us to have paparazzi when we are shooting on public streets. It is unusual to find them that close to our location, where we have locked things off to the public."

Newton-John "Had Split Up With" Missing Lover

Australian actress/singer Olivia Newton-John had split up with her lover Patrick McDermott before he went missing in July, according to her nephew. Emerson Newton-John claims the long-term relationship fizzled out after McDermott began drinking heavily, and he insists his aunt had no idea her partner was in serious financial trouble. He says, "It just naturally came to an end. Livvy saw it was not progressing. She knew he was drinking, she probably didn't want to deal with it." Emerson adds that McDermott was depressed for months leading up to his disappearance while on a fishing trip in California - but he believes he is more likely to have died in a drunken accident than staged his disappearance or committed suicide. He adds, "It doesn't take much to fall off a boat and drown."

Wright Penn Slams Sean Criticism

Robin Wright Penn has launched a scathing attack on the journalists who mocked her husband Sean Penn's failed mission to rescue survivors of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Oscar-winning actor's well-intentioned attempt to save children from the floods failed miserably when his decrepit boat started leaking dangerously. The Mystic River star, who was desperate to do "whatever I can to help", allegedly forgot to fix a hole in the makeshift rescue vessel, which promptly started sinking as he furiously scooped water out of the boat with a plastic cup. Penn initially attracted criticism from onlookers when they saw the boat was already crammed with Penn's entourage - including a photographer - before any flood victims climbed onboard. But Wright Penn is incandescent with rage at the "pathetic" jibes leveled at her husband. She tells the New York Daily News, "To them, I say 'F**k you! I think it's f**king pathetic to be belittling him. Do we have to go to the bowels of infantile behavior? Here people are dying, and if it wasn't Sean Penn going crazy watching CNN and saying, 'I have to do something' - but instead it was 'Joe Smith from Morgan City' - then those people would be thanking him, not attacking him."

Britney Spears rests

Britney Spears is resting at home following her third pregnancy scare. The pop babe was rushed to hospital on Sunday- sparking rumours she had given birth to her baby four weeks prematurely.

Doctors at the Californian clinic have given her the all-clear and the singer is now back at home recuperating with husband Kevin Federline.

A friend is quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "Britney has been really sensitive about the pregnancy after her previous two scares.

"She's now back at home and is fit and well." In April, Britney sought medical help after suffering premature separation of the placenta from her uterus - a condition that can kill an unborn foetus. A month later, the star was taken to the UCLA hospital in Santa Monica after complaining of severe stomach cramps.

The 23-year-old is planning to deliver her baby by Caesarean. The star said: "I don't want to go through the pain "My mom said giving birth was the most excruciating thing she's ever gone through in her life"

Spanish Apple

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's baby daughter can speak Spanish.

The Hollywood actress has revealed Apple's first word was 'Agua' - Spanish for 'water' - and says she is trying to teach her even more.

Gwyneth said: "'Agua' was her first word. She says a lot of words in Spanish, I speak to her in Spanish sometimes because I want her to learn".

The screen beauty claims Apple's vocabulary is coming along very well.
She revealed to America's USA Today newspaper: "She says 'Chop, chop' for helicopter.

She doesn't know that a helicopter and airplane are two different things.

"She says 'Mama' and 'Dada' She says, 'Check it out' For hummus, she says 'hummy'" .

Gwyneth also believes Apple is taking after her rock star dad. She said: "She's not very patient, which she gets from me But she also has this showman, comedian little side She does these funny things to make you laugh, which reminds me of my husband"

Meanwhile, Gwyneth has confessed she calls husband Chris 'Daddy'. The stunning star admits it was difficult hearing or saying the name after her beloved father, Bruce Paltrow, died in 2002.

But since the Coldplay frontman became a dad when Apple was born, Gwyneth has found it easier She explained: "Now it's easier for me that my husband is a father"

Heather Mills' fur protest

Paul McCartney's wife Heather Mills was thrown out of a top New York store for protesting against the shop's sale of fur.

The former model, who lost a leg in a motorbike accident in 1993, walked into the J Crew store wearing a flat-screen TV showing images of mink, rabbits and coyotes being skinned alive.

Vegetarian Heather was joined by 15 PETA members in her protest which is against the store's policy of selling furs imported from China where animals are allegedly skinned alive and treated inhumanely before being killed for their fur.

Heather and the other animal rights activists left the store after police arrived and threatened to arrest them if they did not stop their demonstration. Outside J Crew the blonde beauty - whose vegetarian husband Paul was introduced to the animal rights movement by late wife Linda McCartney, was heard telling passers-by: "Buying anything with fur supports one of the most gruesome industries on the planet".

PETA spokesperson Michael McGraw said the group have now launched a website, JCruelcom, to put pressure on the store to drop its' fur ranges.

Michael Jackson's skin-tight body suit

Michael Jackson has been spotted swimming in a skin-tight, white Lycra body suit, it has been reported. Onlookers claim the eccentric singer wore the bizarre outfit at a Dubai water park, which he had privately hired for the day.

Sources claim the star - who invited children and parents to join him at the Wild Wadi park - spent most of the time in the shade, with only his eyes, nose and mouth visible through the suit.

A lifeguard is quoted by America's New York Post newspaper as saying: "He looked even stranger than usual.

His body is very skinny, and the Lycra material did him no favours." Last week, it was revealed Jackson is recording a song to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The singer is hoping to recruit a galaxy of stars to join him on new track 'From The Bottom Of My Heart'.

Supermodel Heidi Klum has baby boy
Tue Sep 13, 2005 2:53 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - German supermodel Heidi Klum has given birth to a baby boy in Los Angeles, and the mother and her son, named Henry, are doing well, Klum's spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

The 8-pound (3.6-kg) infant is Klum's first with British pop singer Seal, whom she married in May. She also has a 1-year-old daughter, Leni, from her previous relationship with Formula One race car manager Flavio Briatore.

Klum, 32, gained fame in the late 1990s modeling lingerie for retailer Victoria's Secret and swimsuits, notably on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine's popular swimsuit edition.

Last year, she hosted the reality television program "Project Runway" on U.S. cable TV network Bravo featuring 12 unknown designers competing to win an apparel contract and their own show during New York's Fashion Week.

"Project Runway" was nominated for an Emmy, the U.S. TV industry's top awards that will be given out next week in Los Angeles. Klum's publicist said it had yet to be decided if Klum would attend the Emmys.

Cybill: "I Haven't Gone Under the Knife"

Actress Cybill Shepherd is flattered people think she has had plastic surgery - because it means she's looking good. The Moonlighting star insists she has never gone under the knife as an adult and she was initially shocked when one US tabloid recently listed all the "work" she had had done - and then she realized it was because people can't believe she can look so good at 55. She says, "They showed this one beautiful picture of me recently and they had all the things that I had done. I thought it was a great compliment for everybody to think I've had plastic surgery." And Shepherd admits even curious family members sometimes question her: "One of my ex-husbands thought I had a breast job... They looked bigger. I (just) got the proper lingerie." Though she has never had cosmetic surgery, she isn't saying she'll never go under the knife - she knows, from personal experience, how marvelous such work can be. She explains, "I haven't had it yet. I'm not saying I'll never do it. I've had plastic surgery that wasn't like to make me look better - when I was seven-years-old, I ran into a barb wire fence and almost ripped my lip off and I had almost 200 stitches."

Howard Hides From 'Da Vinci' Fans

Director Ron Howard has been forced to disguise the name of his new movie version of best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code, because the set has become swamped with fans. The Oscar winner is on location in England shooting the film, which stars Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou and Sir Ian McKellen. But the shoot has been hampered by die-hard fans of Dan Brown's novel, desperate to catch a glimpse of filming - so Howard has changed the title of the film on scripts, furniture, and signs and banned crew from using the real name. But readers of the novel won't struggle to decipher the false name - Howard has opted for The Rose Line, which is a key theme and instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the book.

Craig Delivers Bond Clue

British actor Daniel Craig has reentered the race to become the next James Bond - after being spotted enquiring about a rare copy of the novel the next 007 movie will be based on. Intrigue about the identity of Pierce Brosnan's successor has kept Bond fans gripped for months - and handed movie makers valuable publicity. Craig is among a short-list of favorites to star in the forthcoming remake for Ian Fleming's first 007 novel Casino Royale, including Clive Owen, Ewan McGregor, Julian McMahon and Hugh Jackman. But a London bookstore owner is convinced he's unearthed the best-kept secret in Hollywood, after Craig asked after a first edition of the novel. Peter Ellis says, "I told him that he should expect to pay about £20,000. He didn't seem particularly surprised at the price, but then he didn't ask me to get him a copy either."

Miller: 'Factory Girl' May Be Postponed

British beauty Sienna Miller fears the filming of her upcoming movie Factory Girl will be postponed, because the shoot was scheduled to take place in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, Louisiana. The movie, in which Miller plays Andy Warhol's muse Edie Sedgwick, is just one of many productions which has had to consider pulling out of filming in the area after it was flooded when Hurricane Katrina struck last month. She says, "We were supposed to start in November in New Orleans, but because of what's happened there we can't do it this year, I wouldn't have thought. It's such a tragedy over there."

Vivica Fox disses 50 Cent’s ‘ghetto love’

Vivica Fox has some harsh words for her ex-sweetie, 50 Cent. She calls his way of dealing with their break-up “ghetto love.”

The press about the relationship lasted longer than the relationship itself, the “Missing” star told talk show host Tyra Banks, and she believes she was cast as the villain in the whole process.

“Why do you think the press does that?” Banks asked.

“No, it wasn’t the press — it was him!” Fox replied, according to a source familiar with the show, which airs Thursday. “He was like, ‘She’s exploiting me, she’s trying to use me to get publicity.’. . . . But, you know, I just considered that ghetto love. It was his way of dealing with the break-up.”

Fox also said that she has 13 tattoos — and one on her arm that says “Strength, Courage & Wisdom” is due to 50 Cent: “After my break-up with 50 Cent, that was a song [India.Arie’s “Strength, Courage & Wisdom”] I listened to almost every day because I needed strength, courage, and wisdom to never let that happen to me again.”

Robert Downey Jr's marriage struggle

Robert Downey Jr has confessed he is struggling to cope with married life.

The Hollywood actor tied the knot with film producer Susan Levin in a secret ceremony last month - but admits it hasn't been domestic bliss.

The once wild actor - who has a long history of drug and alcohol abuse - is quoted in Scotland's Daily Record newspaper as saying: "I am totally to the contrary of the images that the public have had of me. I like things to look nice and orderly.

"But we step over each other sometimes, and I find my socks in her bag. Sometimes Susan calms me down and other times she's the reason I am annoyed. "We're still getting to know each other - but every couple goes on that voyage of discovery".

He added: "If I leave the house with my hair washed and my shoes on the right feet, then these days I'm in good shape".

Downey - who divorced first wife Deborah Falconer in April 2004 - has previously praised his new bride for helping kick his alcohol and drug addictions, saying: "She has a real life, and she's really organised. She's been really cool."

Guy Ritchie quits Kabbalah

Guy Ritchie has allegedly quit the Kabbalah - leaving wife Madonna furious.

The 'Snatch' director reportedly told the sexy singer he is turning his back on the mystical Jewish faith because he has wasted too much time following it.

A source is quoted by Britain's Daily star newspaper as saying: "Madonna is absolutely fuming with Guy. Kabbalah is her life and she feels like Guy has rejected her as well as the cult.

"It took her years to convince him to join the sect and she was thrilled by his growing enthusiasm for it over the past years". Guy fears his involvement in the sect even ruined his new gangster film 'Revolver', which has been panned by critics.

The star allegedly believes he should have spend more time on set and less time taking part in the cult's rituals. It is claimed he also regrets following Kabbalah devotee Madonna's advice and including references to the religion in his movie.

The insider revealed: "The horrific reception 'Revolver' has received has undone all of Madonna's good work. Critics hate the Kabbalah plugs. He wants to distance himself from it But Madonna is such a staunch supporter; it will make their marriage very difficult."

I studied a little bit about Kabbalah in college (not Kabbalah itself, just about Kaballah). I was a Medievalist, focusing on Spain, France, and England, with Spain being my biggest field. Kabbalah is no cult. It's really tough stuff, and, IIRC, it's not meant to be studied by non-Jewish scholars, or by women :( (I think it's because there was a presumption that a woman was not a scholar). Kind of reminded me of Zen Ko'ans, at times.

Crowe's Lawyers Seeking Reduced Charge

Hollywood hardman Russell Crowe has instructed his lawyers to seek a reduction of the assault charge he faces for allegedly throwing a phone at a New York City hotel employee. The Oscar-winning Gladiator actor was arrested and charged with felony assault when Nestor Estrada accused Crowe of assaulting him with the faulty handset during a heated argument in June. If convicted, the 41-year-old could face up to seven years in prison and lose his right to work in the US, so he desperately hopes the charge will be reduced to a less serious misdemeanor offence. Any conviction would cause Crowe immigration problems, but he is looking to soften the impact as much as possible. He says, "Every time I apply for a visa, it's like you need to bring a suitcase (containing the necessary documents) into the embassy. So to add this charge, even as a misdemeanor level ... basically stops me getting certain types of visa." If he is convicted on all charges, Crowe intends to remain in his native Australia where he lives with his wife Danielle and baby son Charlie. He says, "If I'm an international menace like the (prosecuting) attorney is suggesting, then fine. I'll just stay here." Crowe will appear in court in November.

De Rossi "Outed" by 'Ally McBeal' Co-Star

Actress Portia De Rossi decided to go public with her sexuality after Ally McBeal castmate Greg Germann outed her in a New York bar. The Australian blonde was still struggling to come to terms with the fact she was a lesbian when perceptive Germann, who played her boss on the legal series, guessed that she was hiding her sexuality. She recalls, "I'd been on the show for about two months before we had to go to New York to do press, and Greg Germann and I were talking in the bar one night and he said, 'There's something about you I can't quite put my finger on... Are you gay?' Of course, I stammered and stuttered, and looked at the ground and went, 'Uh... uh... uh... maybe, I don't know. I think so. I'm not sure.' He looked at me and said, 'Have you struggled with it...?' That was so profound." A couple of years after her heart to heart with Germann, De Rossi went public with her romance with Ringo Starr's stepdaughter Francesca Gregorini after the couple were caught by the paparazzi in 2001. She recalls, "Every single family member, every person I worked with, everybody knew all at once. There was no turning back, and it was a relief."

Sienna Miller in romance riddle

Sienna Miller has been spotted out in London with British actor Daniel Craig - sparking rumours of a romance. The pair, who starred together in British gangster film 'Layer Cake', enjoyed a drink together at top restaurant 'The Ivy' before leaving through separate doors and meeting up again in a nightclub.

Daniel, who used to date supermodel Kate Moss, was then seen dropping Sienna off at her mum's house at 7pm the next morning.

An insider told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "It was all very strange. Sienna was with mates and seemed distracted when Daniel joined her. Their behaviour was bizarre. Instead of them both walking out together, Daniel looked sheepish as he left at 1am and Sienna jumped into her car via the kitchen." The glamorous pair then met up at the 'Elysium' nightclub ten minutes later and got comfortable together in the VIP area. The source said: "They looked very close But by 3am, Sienna was obviously aware that they were being watched so she bolted out of the club and grabbed a mini cab. "She must have met up with Daniel again because he was seen dropping her off at her mum's house at 7am."

Brad and Angelina's Clooney wedding

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning to get married at George Clooney's holiday home in Italy, it has been claimed.

The couple are said to be desperate to arrange their big day as soon as Brad's divorce to Jennifer Aniston is finalised next month. .

Brad's friend George Clooney owns a £4 million holiday villa on Lake Como and the Italian media claims that plans are already under way for a wedding there. .

Clooney reportedly suggested his villa as a venue because of its "secluded and discreet position". Brad has already become part of Angelina's family and has been photographed playing father to her adopted children Maddox, 4, and six-month-old Zahara. Sources say that the 'Troy' star is desperate to marry his 'Mr and Mrs Smith' co-star, but because the actor is currently filming in Canada, the pair will have to wait until next year to get hitched.

Clooney is the first of Brad's friends to speak out about his blossoming relationship with Angelina. He said: "She is a very beautiful woman and very clued-up I see them together and they look content." The men became friends after filming Ocean's Eleven and Ocean's Twelve together

EXCLUSIVE: COCAINE KATE
By Stephen Moyes
THE Daily Mirror today reveals shocking pictures of supermodel Kate Moss snorting a fat line of cocaine during a debauched drugs and drink session with junkie lover Pete Doherty.

As the white powder induces a sudden rush to her brain, she rocks back in her seat and laughs hysterically. The coke is kicking in.

Within seconds she leans forward and again sniffs into a tightly rolled-up £5 note, hoovering up every last grain of the Class A drug.Click here (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/tm_objectid=16133522%26method=full%26siteid=94762-name_page.html) for the rest of the article.

Orlando Bloom gladly stoked rumors of a romance with costar Kirsten Dunst during the Sept. 10 Elizabethtown premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.

The British actor pulled a Tom Cruise by crashing one of Dunst's interviews to rave about how "wonderful" she is, while hugging her tightly.

Later, when asked what he'd like for Christmas, Bloom answered, "Kirsten by my side – she's all I need to have."

But what of Dunst's longtime on-off boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal? He was also in Toronto Sept. 10, for his drama Brokeback Mountain, but he and Dunst were no-shows at each other’s screenings. Click here (http://people.aol.com/people/articles/0,19736,1105101,00.html) for the rest of the article.

Man Gets Prison in Cameron Diaz Topless Photo Case

LOS ANGELES (Sept. 15) - A Los Angeles photographer who was convicted of trying to sell topless pictures of actress Cameron Diaz after forging her signature on a contract was sentenced Thursday to nearly four years in prison.

John Rutter, who prosecutors accused of trying to blackmail Diaz for $3 million over the steamy, bondage-themed photos taken before she was famous, was found guilty in July of attempted grand theft, forgery and perjury.

Rutter had asked Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor for probation, saying that the case was a misunderstanding and that he had never intended Diaz any harm. He faced a maximum term of five years behind bars.

The judge sentenced him to three years and eight months in prison.Click here (http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/movies/article.adp?id=20050915150009990032) for rest of article.

Charlie Sheen, Wife Richards May Reconcile

Charlie Sheen says he and wife, Denise Richards, are working toward getting back together. Richards filed for divorce in March after three years of marriage.

Sheen told David Letterman on CBS' "The Late Show" on Thursday that their relationship has since rebounded.

"We're working toward getting back together and fixing things," the 40-year-old actor said.

"It's the first time I got dumped in my life," Sheen said. "I think the one thing I would point to as a primary reason, basically, is that I was a gigantic ass."

"I had to take a step back and really take a look at myself and the situation," Sheen said. "I made a commitment to this woman that I love, this family that I love and I realized this can be fixed."

Moss Apologizes to Fashion Bosses

Kate Moss has made a sincere apology to high street fashion house H&M after a British newspaper published photographs on Thursday of the supermodel allegedly snorting cocaine. The UK beauty recently secured a $1.8 deal to advertise a new range of H&M clothing designed by Stella McCartney - and the Swedish company expressed disappointment with her behavior during a face-to-face meeting in New York City. But fears Moss would lose a series of lucrative contracts seem to have been allayed with the news that H&M marketing director Jorgen Andersson has accepted her apology and will go ahead with the advertising campaign fronted by the 31-year-old. H&M spokesperson Anacarin Bjorne says, "We are very anti-drugs and insist all our models are healthy and sound. What happened is in Kate's private life, but we are all very disappointed in her. Kate has apologized and was full of remorse for her actions. She has assured us it will not happen again, and we are willing to give her another chance." Moss earns an estimated yearly income of $7.2 million from a series of longstanding contracts other fashion houses including Burberry, Christian Dior, Rimmel, H Stern and Chanel - and representatives for most her employers have refused to comment on the scandal.

Courtney Love Ordered Back to Rehab for Six Months

Troubled rocker Courtney Love has been ordered to spend six months in a rehabilitation facility as punishment for violating her probation. On Friday, a Los Angeles judge, who had recently sent the former Hole frontwoman to rehab for 28 days, decided Love required even more time in a residential treatment facility, which she won't be allowed to leave until she's served her time. Love violated her probation when a drug-related incident sent her to the hospital on July 21. Judge Rand Rubin told her that he had been planning to send her to jail but decided that treatment would be a better option. Love's probation violation stems from three cases, two of which she struck plea agreements for just seven months ago. Her charges of assault with a deadly weapon and two felony counts of illegal possession of prescription painkillers were lessened. But last year, she received a sentence of 18 months of drug treatment for her charge of being under the influence of prescription painkillers. Love's recent 28-day stint in rehab will count toward her latest six-month sentence, but her probation has now been extended to March 15, 2007, reports MTV News. She is due back in court for a progress report on November 18.

Sheen Sheds Some Light on Marital Woes

Charlie Sheen has hinted that one of the major reasons his marriage to Denise Richards hit turmoil was because he was too absorbed in watching sports to help her with parenting. Richards filed for divorce in March after three years of marriage - just months before she gave birth to their second child Lola. But the Scary Movie 3 co-stars have since been working through their problems. And during a visit to David Letterman's chat show on Thursday night, Sheen admitted that he was at fault in the situation, explaining, "It's the first time I got dumped in my life. I think the one thing I would point to as a primary reason, basically, is that I was a gigantic a*s. I had an epiphany later on what the sports highlight is for. The sports highlight is for parents, people that should be spending more time doing more important things. But it just bothered me when, I mean... who bathes in the ninth inning? Who bathes in the fourth quarter? I had to take a step back and really take a look at myself and the situation. I made a commitment to this woman that I love, this family that I love and I realized this can be fixed and it's okay to part the ego, to abandon self and just stay true to my commitment and be a man of my word. Things are really good. Today we have hope, we have a shot." The couple, who wed in June 2002, are also the parents of 18month-old Sam.

Paris Hilton’s selective amnesia

Does she remember that she has a fiancé and a ‘Simple Life’ partner?

Paris Hilton raised eyebrows at a recent photo shoot by openly flirting with Brazilian playboy Ricardo Mansur. The partying heiress — who is engaged to shipping heir Paris Latsis — cast “long, loving looks” at Mansur, reports our below-the-border source.

Mansur has been linked to model Gisele Bundchen and is currently dating a Brazilian actress.

Hilton seems confused about another partnership as well. The star of the reality show “The Simple Life” was telling people that she had no idea who her co-star would be, even though show insiders say that Nicole Richie has a contract to appear opposite in the series. Hilton, however, is telling people “we start shooting in November, but I’m not sure who I will appear with.”

Hilton has enjoyed certain aspects of Brazil other than Mansur, going to a nightclub and belting out two songs from her forthcoming album. “The crowd went wild,” says our source, “in a good way.”

Jon Bon Jovi slams celebrity Cruise

Jon Bon Jovi has slammed Tom Cruise, saying the actor has "lost it". The rocker claims the heartthrob star "courts celebrity for the sake of it" and he believes Tom's fiancée Katie Holmes is feeding off of his star status.

The rocker told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper:

"Some people just court celebrity for the sake of it. People like Tom Cruise. He was always a great actor, but I think the man's lost it. You won't ever catch me jumping up and down on Oprah going on about how I love this woman. And then others start feeding off it. Suddenly Katie Holmes is on the cover of magazines."

The handsome singer also hot out at hotel heiress Paris Hilton saying she is "famous for being infamous." He said: "Another one is Paris Hilton Famous for being infamous And then the people who should be getting the attention, people like Bob Dylan, aren't. It's sad." "These people claim they hate the intrusion that fame brings but then they bring it on themselves by having huge entourages wherever they go, attracting attention to themselves."

Jude's boo reception

Jude Law had to hide in Sienna Miller's dressing room after fans at her West End play booed at him. The love cheat - who earlier this year admitted sleeping with his children's nanny - had gone to London's Wyndham Theatre to watch Sienna's last performance in 'As You Like It' when the audience turned on him.

The heartthrob actor had to flee backstage after the scornful crowd started jeering - and even threw things at him.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "It was quite incredible. The crowd were clearly far from happy." At the end of the show one woman threw something at him which looked somewhat like a pair of pants and then the audience slowly started to boo at him.

"It was rather embarrassing for all concerned".

The source added: "Burly minders escorted him as he fled to her dressing room. Once he was there he didn't dare come out so he waited for Sienna to arrive."

Meanwhile, it's been claimed stunning Sienna has decided to give the actor another chance after the pair were spotted looking cosy at an after show bash for the cast of her play.

A party-goer is quoted in Britain's Daily Mirror as saying: "Jude and Sienna were so tactile it was as though there had never been a crisis. Jude was nuzzling Sienna's neck and they were dancing together for what seemed like hours."

Brad Pitt Takes To The Skys

BRAD PITT has embarked on a course of flying lessons so he can take to the skies with ANGELINA JOLIE.

The TROY hunk has reportedly applied for his flying licence, and is spending $9000 on 40 hours of lessons.

A source tells British newspaper The Sunday Mirror, "Brad thought, 'My girlfriend can fly, why can't I?'"

An American air source says, "This is one thing where there's no star treatment - all they care about is safety. It takes months and months of hard work. It takes many hours to get certified and get your licence. It's not something you do in a weekend.".

Hollywood actor BRAD PITT has reportedly befriended ANGELINA JOLIE'S former husband BILLY BOB THORNTON after finding they share the same sense of humour. The pair met when Thornton was cast in new movie PEACE LIKE A RIVER, which Pitt is producing, and immediately hit it off. A source told British newspaper The Daily Star, Pitt loves quipping, "Get my old lady's other old man on the line" when he wants to speak to Thornton."

Keira's Sienna infatuation

Keira Knightley has confessed she is infatuated with Sienna Miller.

The sexy actress claims she is in awe of the stunning blonde's style and looks and would give anything to be as attractive as her.

She said: "I so admire Sienna Miller, she's wicked. She's really beautiful and looks f***ing great all the time.

"There aren't many 20-year-old girls who don't want to be Sienna Miller".
Keira is also in awe of Kate Moss. The 'Pride and Prejudice' star says she is obsessed with the supermodel's fashion sense and unique beauty. .

She added in an interview with Britain's New magazine: "Kate Moss always looks so rock 'n' roll I wouldn't say no to looking or dressing like her".

Clothing Chain H&M Drops Kate Moss

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Swedish clothing chain Hennes & Mauritz said Tuesday it will drop a planned advertising campaign with model Kate Moss after she admitted to recently using cocaine.

H&M, Europe's largest fashion retailer, had planned to use Moss to help launch a new collection designed by Stella McCartney that will hit stores in 22 countries in November.

The decision to drop the campaign comes after Moss acknowledged last week that British tabloid reports of her recent cocaine use were true.

H&M initially said it would proceed with the campaign, but company spokeswoman Liv Asarnoj said Tuesday that "after evaluating the situation, we have decided that a campaign with Kate Moss is not consistent with H&M's clear disassociation from drugs."

The company will call in another model for the campaign, Asarnoj said.

H&M said Saturday that Moss had apologized for her drug use and promised in writing to abide by a company policy that models be "healthy, wholesome and sound."

McCartney, daughter of former Beatle Paul McCartney, will design a limited women's collection of about 40 items that will go on sale in 400 stores on Nov. 10. Last year, H&M released a similar collection designed by Karl Lagerfeld, which sold out in a few hours in many stores worldwide.

As we said before, this was one of the gayest Emmy's on record. You had Ellen, Portia, Clay, and let's not forget Neil Patrick Harris. The star of CBS's new comedy, How I Met Your Mother, looked SO CUTE at the awards show.

Sources on the scene tells us that Neil did take his alleged long-time boyfriend, musical theater actor David Burtka (pictured to the right), to the event. However, they were not seated together.

"David was in the audience, a few rows back behind Hugh Jackman," a source tells us. "Apparently CBS doesn't want to screw up their new series with Neil, so it seems they didn't let them sit together in case of any close-up shots of one of their new stars."

It's pretty much an open secret in Hollywood (allegedly) that Doogie is gay. In fact, if you do a Yahoo search for Neil Patrick Harris you will get a suggestion to Also Try "Neil Patrick Harris" gay and "Neil Patrick Harris" shirtless. In fact, this Wikipedia bio on Harris not only mentions that he is gay, but it also discusses his relationship with Burtka and his former relationship with the super hot Max von Essen.

If you've seen the show, you KWIM... it seems like that part almost has to be played by a gay or bisexual man to be believable.

Money Can't Buy Friendship.

Not even $500,000 can coax Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie into being friends again... that of course IN ADDITION to the millions they're already being paid to do The Simple Life.

Paris & Nicole simply refuse to speak to each other, even after being offerred some extra cash to get along. They are such snotty bitches they won't even take money to be nice!

Apparently Paris has been calling Nicole "The Bug" because her eyes bug out of her head (she's right on that one)... and Nicole calls Paris "Jenna" because she's like a porn star!

I say they just bring hidden cameras on in the meetings with the two of them to catch the cattiness on tape... That would be a lot more entertaining than watching them get along, wouldn't it?

Paris and Nicole's frosty Emmys

Sparring socialites Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie came face to face at an Emmy Awards after-show party.

The 'Simple Life' co-stars, who haven't spoken to each other since Nicole reportedly played Paris's infamous sex tape at a party, were both invited to the star-studded bash at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel on Sunday night (18-05-05). But onlookers claim they kept their distance from each other all night.

According to America's New York Post newspaper, Paris stayed on one side of the room with her pals Kimberly Stewart and Mary-Kate Olsen, while Nicole spent the night on the other with 'The OC' star Mischa Barton. However, Lindsay Lohan - who has remained friends with both stars - was reportedly forced to keep flitting from one group to the other to keep both Paris and Nicole happy.

A witness said: "The whole thing was hysterical".

In April, Paris released a statement announcing she and Nicole were no longer friends and hinted her new best friend, Kimberly Stewart - daughter of rocker Rod - would be a perfect replacement for Nicole on 'The Simple Life'. However, it was recently revealed the pair are both contracted to make a fourth series of the reality show, even though they are no longer speaking.

Ritchie and Madonna Booed at 'Revolver' Premiere

British film-maker Guy Ritchie and his wife Madonna were booed at the London premiere of his new movie Revolver last night - because they refused to sign autographs for expectant fans. Jason Statham, the movie's lead actor, spent almost an hour signing autographs and posing for photographs in the British capital's Leicester Square, but Ritchie and Madonna paid little attention to the 2,000-strong crowd. The singer suffered a multitude of serious injuries - including a broken little finger, five cracked ribs and a double fracture to her shoulder blade - in a horse-riding accident at her English country estate last month. And she was glad to step back from the limelight for her husband's big night: "This is fun for me. I get to dress up and show up." Revolver has been slated by movie critics in the run-up to its release.

Keira Knightley has been dumped by boyfriend Kaz James.

The Bodyrockers star called time on his romance with the actress just weeks after they started dating. According to reports, James has already moved on since splitting from stunning Keira - and has been spotted cosying up to diva Mariah Carey and Donatella Versace's niece, Francesca.

The singer reportedly met stunning Mariah at a star-studded bash in London.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The pair chatted for a while then Mariah slipped him her room number, a special password to get in and her mobile number. But when Kaz tried to dial the number later in the evening, her phone was off".

After being snubbed by the songstress James started flirting with 23-year-old Francesca. A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "They got one really well and continued partying at Kabaret's Prophecy afterwards Kaz was really laying on the charm and making a big show of pouring her glasses of Dom Perignon champagne".

The insider added: "They were all over each other. One of his mates asked him whether Francesca was his new flame and Kaz just grinned and said, 'I think so. Well, for tonight she is'". They left the club at 230am and disappeared off to, er, get to know each other a bit better."

If, like me, you have no idea who Kaz James is, here's a photo:

Sienna's six commandments

Sienna Miller has made cheating lover Jude Law swear to stick to a list of six 'commandments' before rekindling her romance with him.

The blonde beauty has reportedly drawn up a list of strict rules the actor must abide by if he wants to keep her. The conditions - which include staying faithful and controlling his temper - come after Jude admitted sleeping with his children's nanny.

The 23-year-old actress - who even made the heartthrob actor write down every woman he's slept with - insists she won't stay with the star if he breaks the rules again and Jude has reportedly agreed to the conditions. .
A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper as saying: "Jude has been a changed person since Sienna left him. While he totally dominated her before, since the allegations came out and she dumped him he has been totally different".

The source added: "Sienna believes in monogamy and will not stand for him cheating. And she has told him that he has to control his temper, as he often used to shout at her and she will not take it anymore". The actress also made Jude promise to spend less time with ex-wife Sadie Frost, not to pressure her into marriage and to let her make her own decisions. The insider added: "Everyone is joking that she has written her commandments down on a scroll."

Mena's Hubby Bites Back

Mena Survari left her director husband Robert Brinkman in May and then fell for the pilates instructor. But Brinkman isn't taking rejection lying down and has exacted his web-savvy revenge. The 26-year-old American Beauty star married Brinkman, who is 17 years her senior, in March 2000, but the couple split up when Mena filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences". She went on to date her Australian pilates trainer Jay Bulloch.

Though shocked at the end of their marriage, it seems Brinkman is far more gutted about the behaviour of Mena's publicist in the wake of the break-up. In fact he's so angry he's written an online diary to vent his spleen.

"I experienced just how unpleasant a bad publicist can be," his rant begins. "Less than two weeks after I found out for the first time that my wife of five years was leaving, her eager publicists put out a press release to that effect. Having this news released led to all of my friends and family finding out about it from the press instead of me. To make things even less pleasant, they kept sending me stacks of faxes of all the tabloid coverage of the beach vacation Mena went on with her instructor."

Sopranos actress - we refuse to call her a "star" - Jamie Lynn Discala is calling it quits with her husband/manager A.J. If anyone would make it, we thought for sure these kids would! This is such a sad, sad day.

If you actually care, details about the split (including Jamie Lynn's rumored relationship with NY party promoter Keith Collins) are after the jump.

According to Page Six:

JAMIE Lynn Discala may soon be changing her name back to Jamie Lynn Sigler. The "Sopranos" star told pals she left her hubby/manager, A.J. Discala, a month ago — about when she took off her wedding ring. Two separate witnesses link Jamie Lynn to New York club promoter Keith Collins, who threw a joint birthday party Thursday at Quo with former Village Person Randy Jones. One witness says: "She was heavily making out with Keith in one of the bathrooms. They were all over each other, and then before they walked out of the bathroom, she said make sure not to tell anyone that she and A.J. have split." Another witness says: "She seemed to be quite taken with [Collins] and hung out with him until the wee hours." Collins said: "Jamie Lynn is a good friend of mine, but I am not commenting right now. She is a sweet girl. It was a good time." Jamie Lynn, for her part, didn't remember who Collins was on our first call and then had her rep call back to say: "She did go to a party with two friends and gave this guy a hug in front of everyone. That is it. She doesn't know him." As for Jamie Lynn's marriage, the rep declined comment.

Scientology reaches out to Kate Moss
Controversial religion wants the model to join their drug rehab program

By Jeannette Walls
MSNBC
Updated: 2:46 a.m. ET Sept. 22, 2005

Scientology has a message for Kate Moss: We can help.

Reps of the controversial religion are “reaching out” to the model, offering to help her beat her drug problem, says a well-placed source. Moss was recently dropped from a lucrative modeling contract when she was photographed snorting lines of coke.

“Scientology has become quite proactive in reaching out to people,” says the source. “Kate is a woman who needs help and Scientology feels that they can steer her in the right direction.”

Zellweger Tearful on Eve of Split

Renee Zellweger offered clues her marriage to Kenny Chesney was on the rocks in the last interview she gave before the split was announced. During a chat with British breakfast television show GMTV, the actress came close to tears when quizzed about their four month union. When asked by reporter Carla Romano how she was finding married life, Zellweger replied, "You know I have been kind of busy, so I haven't noticed the formality of it." When grilled further on country star Chesney, Zellweger said, "I don't want to talk about that, I can't." The actress then fought back tears and added, "I have got to keep those things precious for myself."

Hatcher Is Delighted for Huffman

Teri Hatcher has laughed off reports of a jealous rift with her Desperate Housewives co-star Felicity Huffman, insisting she is delighted for the blonde actress' Emmy win on Sunday. Hatcher and co-star Marcia Cross lost out to Huffman in the Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series category at the star-studded bash in Los Angeles. After photos were published of Huffman hugging Cross, Eva Longoria and Nicollette Sheridan in the press room, newspapers speculated that Hatcher was furious she had lost out to Cross and refused to appear in photographs. However, subsequent photos at the post-Emmy Governors Ball show Hatcher and Huffman embracing. Hatcher says, "I didn't care at all about losing, but I just didn't want (my daughter) Emerson to feel bad." The actress called her seven-year-old daughter to explain her loss, saying, "You know, I didn't win, but Felicity won, and when you come to the set next time, you can give her a big congratulations."

Madonna Sparks Hospital Row

Pop star Madonna's recent hospital visit has caused controversy after it was claimed she was given special treatment after falling from her horse last month. The 47-year-old star was celebrating her birthday when she had the accident, and suffered a broken collarbone, three cracked ribs and a fractured hand. She was taken to Salisbury District Hospital A&E, where she was treated by National Health Service (NHS) staff and is rumored to have been given a private room. Local resident Phil Matthews was furious to hear that the pop queen may have been treated better than other patients, saying, "I wanted to know if Madonna had preferential treatment." Matthews demanded a meeting with Frank Harsent, chief executive of Salisbury NHS Healthcare Trust which runs the hospital, and claims his questions regarding Madonna's visit were "brushed aside". Matthews added: "I asked him (Harsent) if there were any of her minders taking up space. He denied it. My point is everyone should have the same treatment under the NHS and I was determined to see if this happened with Madonna." The singer has previously dubbed British hospitals "too old and Victorian" and chose to return to America to give birth to son Rocco.

Heche Slams Mother's Anti-Gay Crusade

Actress Anne Heche has hit back at her mother's claims she turned the one-time lesbian straight through prayer. Nancy Heche was delighted when her daughter left her then-lover Ellen DeGeneres in 2000 and married a man, Coley Luffoon, a year later. But the actress is upset her mother has been using her name to promote Christian ex-gay events and billing herself "a single parent who experienced the international media rush during her daughter Anne Heche's highly visible relationship with Ellen DeGeneres." She tells the New York Daily News, "This nonsense about my mother praying for me is really making me angry. My mother never approved of my relationship with Ellen. Her hatred for our relationship is one of the many things that ultimately led to my breaking off all communication with her. (My mother, that is, not Ellen). The ex-gay events right now make me sick. And for anyone who ever thought that Ellen and I broke it off because of sexuality, you couldn't be more mistaken. And for anyone who thought my mother's prayers had anything to do with me marrying a man, forget it."

Paris a Drug Dealer?

Socialite PARIS HILTON is at the centre of a Maryland police investigation after information leaked to the authorities claims she has allegedly offered teenagers drugs and alcohol.

Baltimore Police officials have confirmed they're taking the reports very seriously, adding Hilton could face a hefty fine and jail time if she's found guilty.

The allegations stem from an episode of reality show THE SIMPLE LIFE: INTERNS, when Hilton reportedly offered teens marijuana and bourbon to "loosen them up" for a taped segment.

One of the teens involved has told police, "She loaded myself and two other underage kids on shots of Jack Daniels to loosen us up for the show."

Baltimore Police Detective CHRIS SCHAEFFER tells US tabloid the National Enquirer, "These are serious allegations. We will certainly be investigating them."

A spokesman for 20th Century Fox - the company behind The Simple Life - insists the allegations are false: "Paris would never endanger the welfare of a minor."

Moss Apologizes for Cocaine Scandal

Supermodel Kate Moss apologized yesterday to her friends, family and business partners following allegations of her drug taking. The 31-year-old was photographed in British newspaper the Daily Mirror last week snorting what appeared to be cocaine in a recording studio with her on/off boyfriend Pete Doherty's band Babyshambles. Moss claims she is taking her first tentative steps towards solving the issues blighting her personal life. She says in a statement released by the Storm Model Management agency: "I take full responsibility for my actions. I also accept that there are various personal issues that I need to address and have started taking the difficult, yet necessary, steps to resolve them. I want to apologize to all of the people I have let down because of my behavior which has reflected badly on my family, friends, co-workers, business associates and others." Moss has always strenuously denied past rumors she takes drugs, and won a libel case against British newspaper the Sunday Mirror in July over an article it published claiming she collapsed in Barcelona, Spain, in 2001 following a cocaine binge.

She snapped, "Okay, collectively, how many pictures do you guys think you have? Seriously, do you communicate like this in the bedroom as well? It's insane.

A set source says, "During the final weeks of filming in Chicago, she (Aniston) flirted outrageously with Geoff. Everyone couldn't help noticing the sexual undercurrent between them... At a buff six foot three (inches), Geoff looks like a super-sized version of Brad."

Jolie To Face Baby Zahara's Mom in Court?

Angelina Jolie has been inadvertently placed at the center of an adoption scandal in Ethiopia after a teenager claiming to be the mother of the actress' baby Zahara has been found alive and well. Adoption papers stated little Zahara's mother was dead but now British newspaper The Sun has tracked down 18-year-old Mentaweb Dawit, who claims she's the little girl's mum. Dawit has no plans to challenge Oscar-winner Jolie over the adoption; instead she praises the actress for giving her daughter the chance for a good life, stating: "I want to say thank you to Angelina for giving my baby this wonderful, loving family." But, under Ethiopian law, Jolie must reapply for her adoptive rights because the initial paperwork was incorrect. Ethopian adoption law expert Belay Ketema tells US tabloid the National Enquirer, "The adoption could be illegal because the law in Ethiopia says that if the mother is still alive she must give her consent and in this case that may not have happened. The adoptive mother must appear in court to nullify the old papers and re-apply for adoption. The baby's mother must also appear to give her consent." Dawit, a seamstress, claims she fell pregnant after she was raped and always planned to give up the baby for adoption. Sources allege Dawit's mother Almaz Blfnhe told adoption authorities that her daughter had died in childbirth.

The complex has been described as looking like "tin-can towers" and "crumpled Victorian dresses" by locals. Pitt reportedly helped design a restaurant and a set of penthouse suits in the proposed development.

Both his mother and I agree that our son is far too young to contemplate marriage and children. Our son agreed with us. There was an unanimity on this issue." Despite Kasidokostas' statement, Hilton insists she just recently went wedding dress shopping.

Anna Nicole Smith still parties hearty

Anna Nicole Smith continues to live up to her reputation as a party girl. The former reality-TV star stunned crowds with her outrageous behavior in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina recently. “She entered a wet T-shirt contest at a club called Freaky Tiki and exposed herself and got into a loud fight with some guy everyone says is her boyfriend,” a source tells The Scoop.

Fans were buzzing about Anna’s antics on her Web site. “I just want to tell all y'all out there in Anna land that all this stuff is true because I saw . . . it with my own 2 eyes!!!!!!!!” one person posted. “She is there with her boyfriend and his friends and family. She was wandering aimlessly around [a] house looking for [pills]. Her boyfriend kept telling her to quit.”

What surprised me is she was slamming shots after she took [some “nerve pills,”] according to another poster. “Then she continued drinking and by night’s end the boyfriend, (he said his name was Larry) tried to calm her down she smacked him in the face and was kissing on girls and dry humping some old man on his lap who she left with but not without help from her attorney Howard [K. Stern] who had to hold her up and went wagging behind her like a puppy dog, with in fact Anna's puppy dog in his arms.” The alleged boyfriend was apparently Larry Birkhead, who was wearing a T-shirt that declared: “I love my girlfriend.” Smith, in October, told The Louisville Courier Journal “Larry keeps me occupied so I don't have to worry about being lonely anymore.”

The postings about Smith’s shenanigans were all removed from her Web site and the forum was closed, but a few photo highlights of the weekend still exist on the Web. “The reason we took down the postings was that we don’t want Anna defamed on her own Web site,” Stern told The Scoop. He says that she did enter the wet T-shirt contest, but did not expose herself — she was wearing pasties. He also denies that Smith took or asked for any pills or that she has a boyfriend. “The only thing that was true is that I went there to save her because she didn’t feel safe," he said. "She met some good people in South Carolina and some bad people and I question their motives. I’m glad we got her out of there on time.”

How could someone do this to their unborn child?? This woman has some serious issues.
McCready OD's Again

by Charlie Amter
Sep 24, 2005, 8:05 AM PT

For the second time in two months country singer Mindy McCready has been hospitalized for a drug overdose. And like before, the Friday morning incident appears to have been a suicide attempt.

According to police reports, the "Guys Do It All the Time" singer was admitted to a Nashville hospital after ingesting more than two dozen antidepressants following a fight with the father of her unborn child.

McCready was listed in fair condition as of late Friday and is expected to make a full recovery. No immediate word on the condition of the fetus.

Per police reports, the troubled 29-year-old and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, William McKnight, were engaged in a heated spat over the phone regarding McKnight's financial commitment to McCready and their child.

Unhappy with his level of support, the singer reportedly proceeded to ingest around 30 pills.

Knowing his girlfriend's past behavior, the 38-year-old McKnight called authorities.

His call may have saved McCready's life. Paramedics apparently found the overdosed singer around 4 a.m. Friday at her Tennessee home.

Just this past Monday, the onetime country chart-topper revealed she tried to commit suicide earlier this summer because she found out she was pregnant.

McCready was in court to explain a string of behavior that left her in the hospital and then in jail, and to appeal the terms of her bail.

She was arrested in Florida after officials in Williamson County, Tennessee, issued a warrant last month. According to the warrant, McCready left the state without permission and failed to contact her probation officer during the month of July.

McCready said she went to Florida to be with her family after months of trouble.

Her decline from country star to police-blotter material becan a year ago, when she was charged with fraudulently obtaining the painkiller OxyContin.

McCready, who claimed she was trying to score the pills for a friend, eventually pleaded guilty and was slapped with a $4,000 fine, sentenced to three years of supervised probation and ordered to complete 200 hours of community service.

On May 6, the former Nashville darling was stopped for speeding and wound up being charged with drunken driving and driving with a suspended license, which earned her first probation violation.

Two days after her DUI arrest, McCready was beaten and almost choked to death by McKnight, who allegedly ambushed the singer in her home. He was later charged with attempted murder as a result of the altercation.

Within a month, she was charged in Arizona on counts including unlawful use of transportation, unlawful imprisonment and hindering prosecution stemming from an incident involving a stolen pickup truck. She claims she was duped by a con man and mistakenly charged.

By the end of June, she learned she was with child, and that's when she took off to the Sunshine State. "I attempted to commit suicide after I found out," she told Judge Jeff Bivins, per the Nashville Tennessean. "I had just been through a horrible ordeal."

The father is said to be McKnight, who was in Florida at the time of her suicide attempt. He told police the couple had reconciled since the alleged assault. He also handed over her suicide note.

McCready was arrested and jailed in Florida on Aug. 26. She was transferred to a Tennessee lockup a week later and was allowed out on $50,000 bond a week ago. Prosecutors said one of the reasons she was permitted to leave jail was because of complications in her pregnancy.

The singer has already missed two court dates in Arizona due to her hospitalization and subsequent jailing. A judge has rescheduled her arraignment for Oct. 3, but it's not clear if McCready will be permitted--or physically able--to leave Tennessee.

She's due back in Williamson County court Nov. 14 to face her probation-violation charges. Source: E! Online

Lohan: "I Was Too Thin"

Teen singer/actress Lindsay Lohan has acknowledged she was dangerously thin earlier this year and has urged young girls to learn from her mistakes and maintain a healthy body weight. The 19-year-old hit the headlines in May when she became alarmingly skinny, and was rumored to have an eating disorder after she announced she was still overweight compared to other girls her age. Lohan is now starting to gain weight again, and regrets mistreating her body. She says, "I was going through a rough time and I probably wasn't taking care of myself - I wasn't. I want to encourage young girls to not get to that point. Now they're going to say I am overweight, which is ridiculous. I don't know what to say to that ... you grow up and you mature."

DiScalas' Split Confirmed

The Sopranos star Jamie-Lynn DiScala has officially separated from her husband of two years, her estranged spouse has confirmed. The actress/singer married her manager AJ DiScala in July 2003 at the tender age of 22, when she changed her surname from Sigler to DiScala. While AJ, 34, denies his alleged alcohol and gambling problems caused the split, he confirmed to the New York Daily News that they are taking time out from their relationship. He says, "There is zero truth to that (the rumors). It was a very difficult time for both of us, going from me managing her to going back to the banking world. I was going back to what I used to do. As of right now, it's a separation." AJ isn't anticipating a divorce just yet, saying a reconciliation is always possible. He explains, "Anything is possible." Since the split, Jamie-Lynn has been linked to nightclub promoter Keith Collins.

Renee Zellweger finds comfort in ex

Renee Zellweger is being consoled by Irish singer Damien Rice following her split from husband Kenny Chesney.

The actress was rumoured to be dating the singer after they grew close last year, but the pair always insisted they were just friends. The screen beauty reportedly called Rice for advice after the collapse of her marriage to country singer Chesney.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Damien and Renee are very close and when her marriage fell apart, he was the obvious person to call for a shoulder to cry on. He is always very supportive of Renee but denies they are anything more than friends. The couple have spent hours on the phone to each other since the split and she has told friends that Damien is helping her get over Kenny."

The insider claims the 'Cinderella Man' actress is even planning a trip to Rice's home town of Kildare. The source said: "She wants to get away from the hype and being in a small Irish town would be ideal She feels very safe and comfortable there and is very close to Damien's parents". The 36-year-old star split from Chesney earlier this month after just four months of marriage. The couple had their marriage annulled - with Renee citing "fraud" as the reason.

Not really gossip.... sad news:

D'Angelo critically injured in SUV crash

RICHMOND, Virginia (AP) -- R&B crooner D'Angelo, who won over America with his '90s soul ballads only to fade after bouts with the law and drugs, was critically injured in a car wreck outside his hometown of Richmond.

D'Angelo, 31, born Michael Eugene Archer, was in a 2003 Hummer sport utility vehicle on September 19 when it crossed the roadway and struck a fence, ejecting the singer, State Police Sgt. Kevin Barrick said Monday. Archer wasn't wearing a seat restraint, Barrick said.

Barrick said Archer was initially listed in critical condition, but that no further information is available.

from MSN.com:

Tori Spelling Divorce

"I went into the marriage with the best intentions, hopes and dreams. I feel that I've really disappointed people. I've disappointed everyone who came to my wedding. I'm disappointed in myself." That's what Tori Spelling tells People about her breakup with Charlie Shanian, whom she wed in a million-dollar ceremony in July of 2004. Still, it appears the onetime "Beverly Hills, 90210" virgin will have a shoulder to cry on as she works through her disappointment. The mag reports she fell for actor Dean McDermott last month on the set of the telepic "Mind over Murder" (we're guessing it can't hold a candle to the classic, "Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?"). A Tori insider says that McDermott was also in a "marriage that was not working" (he filed for divorce on Sept. 9) and the two soon became tight. "It just happened," the source tells People. "No one meant any harm to anyone. You can't help who you fall in love with and who you're right with." Spelling's pals insist her new romance was not the catalyst for her split with Shanian. "The marriage was over a long time ago," a friend asserts to the magazine. "They never should have been married in the first place."

Mischa vs. Kimberly

Are Mischa Barton and Kimberly Stewart squaring off over little-known, stringy-haired rocker Cisco Adler? Radar Online says that Rod's D-list daughter is steamed that the bony "O.C." starlet is cozying up to her former fiancé, whom she reportedly split with last spring. "Kimberly is finally over Cisco, but she was furious that a friend of hers would date her ex," a Stewart confidante tells the magazine. "She called up Mischa and gave her an earful. She said Cisco was totally gross and that after all the nasty stuff Kimberly had told her about him she should know better than to date such a [expletive deleted]." Barton, 19, who recently ended her romance with oily oil heir Brandon Davis, allegedly told Stewart to butt out. Kim's manager, however, says the incident never happened, insisting to Radar, "Kimberly hasn't had any contact with Mischa and was really surprised to hear this. She's moved on. She's doing her own thing." Barton, for her part, appears to be enjoying her time with Adler, who is frontman for the band Whitestarr (no, we've never heard of them either). According to Star, she recently tossed him a shindig at a Beverly Hills eatery to celebrate his 27th birthday. "Mischa looked crazy in love!" an eyewitness enthuses to the mag.

Michelle Williams on Heath & Baby

Heath Ledger may be a bit of a crankypants when it comes to dealing with the press, but his reported fiancée Michelle Williams has no such hang-ups. While promoting their Ang Lee-directed gay cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain" at the Toronto Film Festival, the actress not only revealed the sex of their impending bundle of joy but admitted she already considers Heath her hubby. "It's strange to watch the film now because it means so much more to me," she told Australia's Sunday Times. "I met my husband there, the seed of my daughter was born there -- it's just really, really powerful." Williams, who is due in the next few weeks, says she prefers the term "husband" over "boyfriend" or "partner," although she doesn't seem in any rush to make the long walk down the aisle. "I had a few fantasies about a husband and a wedding when I was a little girl," she says, "but I'm really happy with things just the way they are right now."

Nicole Kidman keeping relationship low-key

Nicole Kidman is keeping her budding romance with Keith Urban low key because she doesn't want to scare him off. The stunning actress is reportedly worried the media attention that surrounds her relationships would put too much pressure on the country singer.

A friend revealed: "Nicole is terrified that all the attention will scare him away. She's found a special guy in Keith." So far the couple have enjoyed a string of romantic, secret dates.

A source said: "They're desperate to keep it under wraps. Every one of Nicole's romances since Tom (Cruise) has blown up. She's sworn she's not going to let that happen this time." The insider added to Britain's Grazia magazine: "She doesn't want Keith running for the hills because the world expects them to get engaged after a handful of dates."

Kate Hudson sparks worry about health

Kate Hudson has sparked worries for her health - after she was photographed looking worryingly skinny. Friends of the blonde actress reportedly think she needs to plump up after shedding pounds following the birth of her son 20 months ago.

A source revealed to Britain's Closer magazine: "Her friends think Kate has gone too far. She's now just skin and bone. She was once envied for her curvaceous body. She needs to put on weight."

The 26-year-old recently admitted she started a punishing regime to lose her baby weight - and was so exhausted she even broke down and sobbed on the treadmill. She said: "It was incredibly emotional. I did absolutely everything I could to get back in shape. I'd lose 20lbs, then I wouldn't lose anything for two weeks. I'd be working out and working out, having no rewards. I was so tired, I'd cry on the treadmill."

Brad Pitt ready to go public

Brad Pitt is ready to go public with his romance with Angelina Jolie - now ex-wife Jennifer Aniston has openly spoke about their split. The Hollywood heartthrob - who this week was spotted grocery shopping with the 'Tomb Raider' star - is ready to admit he is dating Angelina after Jennifer opened her heart about the pair's break up to Vanity Fair magazine. The pair had allegedly agreed no to talk about the split but now the former 'Friends' beauty has spoken, Brad feels able to declare his feelings for his new love. .

A source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "It is a mixture of Brad and Angelina being tired of dodging and avoiding being photographed together and him being angry about what Jennifer has been saying about him. "When they separated they both agreed they would never talk about their split. But now she has been talking about him and pinning the blame on him."

Last week, it was claimed Brad wants to adopt Angelina's two children. The handsome actor is allegedly desperate to become Maddox and Zahara's legal father after convincing Angelina he will always be there to support her and her adopted offspring.

Brad, whose divorce from Jennifer will be finalised next month, is said to have already contacted his legal team to get the lengthy process started. A source said: "He's already talking to his lawyers about putting the adoption process in motion. He has been a devoted dad ever since he came into Angelina and her family's life."

Naomi Campbell Backs Kate Moss

NAOMI CAMPBELL has spoken out in support of fellow British supermodel KATE MOSS, who is caught up in the midst of a drug scandal. Moss lost three modelling contracts and is being investigated by London police on allegations that she used cocaine. And while Moss has lost a series of high-profile contracts, she's receiving support from Campbell, who has had her own battles with cocaine use.

She says, "Kate Moss is my friend... I think it's like everybody is being bad to her. It's not the first time it has happened in the world... it's really like a vendetta."

Meanwhile, bosses at Storm, the London modelling agency which represents Moss, say they will support her in the face of the allegations. SARAH DOUKAS, director of the agency, says in a statement, "I feel compelled to speak out in defence of Kate Moss following recent days of speculation and, in many cases, ill-informed and inaccurate stories. I know Kate, and I have represented her for the last 18 years. Over this time she has consistently demonstrated herself to be a professional and exceptional model and a loyal, special and dear friend to me and countless others."
