Hilton has an inappropriate dig at her accuser, stating, "She is old and should stay at home with her child, instead of being at night clubs with young people... She is not cute at all." In yet another ill-advised comment, Hilton talks about her European travels, stating, "I was in Europe the whole summer, and all there is like French... I didn't see anything because I wasn't in America."wow! she's got social graces just oozing outta her! :rolleyes:

Bolton Hints at Sheridan Marriage

Singer Michael Bolton has fueled rumors of an impending engagement to Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan, by confessing he is "very committed" to the blonde actress. The couple reunited in the wake of Sheridan's split from fiance Niklas Soderblom last year. They had previously dated 14 years ago. And Bolton insists this time things will be very different, after taking time out from his busy touring schedule to "work on my private life." He told Us TV interviewer Daphne Barak, "I am very committed. It is a very special time in my life. I have a good feeling about the future. I have not been that happy for a long time. I have been staying at Nicollette's place in LA the last several days. We just needed this time together. We are both giving it a real try." When asked about marriage aspirations Bolton added, "Look, if I did not feel this is the story, I would not have invested so much time and energy in it. Nicollette and I are very serious about each other."

That kind of tells me they must have been messing around while she was with that much more good looking guy she just broke up with.. I know that she and Michael were together for a long time the first time, but to just be back in each other's good graces and ready to marry in such short time doesn't seem right... But hey, that's hollywood and anything goes.. :rolleyes:


Macdowell Engaged Again

Actress Andie MacDowell is engaged to the latest love of her life - car salesman Kevin Geagan. The twice-married star divorced husband number two, former childhood friend Rhett DeCamp Hartzog, in 2004 after three years of marriage. She was previously wed to Paul Qualley - the father of her three children - for 13 years. But she is ready to marry again, after meeting Geagan, who owns Auto Advantage near MacDowell's home in Asheville, North Carolina. Geagan tells local newspaper the Asheville Citizen Times, "I can tell you that we are engaged. Obviously I'm very happy."

WTF? :confused: Can we get a little more stupid Andie?


Have Cruz and McConaughey Split?

Hollywood couple Penelope Cruz and Matthew McConaughey have sparked speculation they have split, after attending the Golden Globe Awards separately. The Spanish actress and Texan hunk started dating on the set of Sahara, just months after the Vanilla Sky beauty ended her relationship with Tom Cruise. Despite both actors presenting awards at Monday's ceremony, Cruz posed alone on the red carpet and the couple weren't seen together for the remainder of the night.

Sigh. You know, I like Andie . . . I lived in Asheville my entire life until I got married this past August. I dealt with the whole Biltmore Estate (undeservingly - I don't care for their ethics and complete LACK of charity to the community) jumping in on the chance to get publicity during her wedding to Rhett by letting her shoot the InStyle Weddings bit there . . .

I think she's v.down to earth. Grocery shops for herself at the local Ingles, lives in a fairly normal house (for Biltmore Forest, that is, which is a v.money area), is apparently v.good to her household help - Oprah did a segment where she awarded her housekeeper with a complete makeover a while back, does charity for the hospital, etc . . .

But good grief, I bought my car from that place and . . .ugh . . . we don't have to be THAT down to earth! Maybe that whole Britney Spears "downgrade" marriage thing is catching on . . .horrors!

Friends’ Returns to TV
HOLLYWOOD - Seminal sitcom Friends is returning to television after each of its six stars agreed multi-million dollar deals to star in four one-hour specials.
In a secret meeting before Christmas, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry reportedly agreed a $5 million apiece deal with NBC bosses in Los Angeles.

Scriptwriters have already started penning lines for the four double episodes, which are due to air next year.

Aniston, who has filmed a string of movies since the final Friends episode, was the last to agree to the new deal.

An NBC insider says, "She's the one who had been holding out. But she's now agreed to reprise Rachel (Green).

"Bringing them back is a dream come true. Ratings will go through the roof."

Network bosses have also hinted at a second spin-off of the hit comedy, following the disappointing performance of Matt LeBlanc's show Joey. The new program will see the three male stars--Perry, Schwimmer and LeBlanc--pilot a series called It's A Guy Thing.

An NBC spokesperson confirms, "Negotiations on future projects are going on all the time."

There is a rumor here is Chicago the Guy Ritchie and Madonna are breaking up. Do you all have any dirt??

[sarahh]

Here's an article...Is Madonna's marriage on the rocks?
New York | January 23, 2006 4:22:22 PM IST

Rumours are abuzz that all is not well in the kingdom of the 'Queen of pop' Madonna and director hubby Guy Ritchie, and that the two are on the verge of putting an end to their five year old marriage.

An insider revealed that the singer had started concentrating more on her career than her marriage.

"She has been spending very little time with him. She is obsessed with everything related to her career at this point. The album ["Confessions on a Dance Floor"] is a hit, and that is all she seems to care about these days. A split? Not sure. Less time together? Most definitely," the New York Daily News quoted the source, as saying.

However, Madonna's rep Liz Rosenberg, rubbished rumours of a split, and said that all was well between the couple.

"Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie seemed perfectly comfortable and adoring of each other. ... My sense is that they're quite a happy, content couple," she said. (ANI)Source: http://news.webindia123.com/news/showdetails.asp?id=228302&n_date=20060123&cat=entertainment

[Sophia]

SUPER excited about the Friends special episodes!!!

As far as Seinfeld, that show is so not funny anymore. I used to watch it all the time, but when it ended and went into syndication it just didn't seem the same anymore. I don't think it's held up that well.

[msnicolea]

I used to think so. I can't watch it anymore. It's boring.

Nicole to head down the aisle

Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman is set to tie the knot with rock star Keith Urban.

The 37-year-old Australian is said to have set a date with the Kiwi singer and the couple certainly aren't waiting around, they are planning to get wed in March.

Nic has been spotted sporting a huge diamond ring which Keith apparently presented to her on Christmas Day.

Friends say Nicole is the happiest she has ever been and has met Keith's parents and introduced her adopted children to the whole family.

However much the superstar Nicole is, she is adamant to steer clear of a media frenzy on her big day and is keeping the ceremony low key with only close family and friends invited - they may even tie the knot in Nicole's homeland of Australia.

Keith was introduced to the Moulin Rouge star in January last year and the couple dated in secret for many months with Nicole's ex Tom Cruise stealing most of the spotlight due to his whirlwind romance with Dawson's Creek actress Katie Holmes.

Reports say Nicole was desperate to beat Tom down the aisle but friends say that is nonsense and that Nicole is in love and looking forward to making it permanent with Keith.

Tom was expected to rush down the aisle with Katie after the announcement of her pregnancy, but he now denies this and says they will wait until their child has been born.

Keith Urban is a huge name in both the US and Australia and unlike his fiancee, has not been married before.

I was talking to another girl about the Friends come back at lunch. How the heck they would do an all guy's show? They left it with Ross and Rachel getting together and Monica and Chandelor with babies.

I just don't get how they would do this and keep continuity. I wonder if the four episodes are going to link what happened in Friends along with Joey to the new show. I mean do Rachel and Monica turn into lesbians and leave the guys or do they die in some freak accident? I just don't get how they'll do this.

Exec Quashes Rumor Of 'Friends' Reunion

POSTED: 2:18 pm CST January 23, 2006

Are everyone's favorite "Friends" ready to return to TV?

Rumors were swirling over the weekend about a "Friends" revival on NBC.

According to published reports, each of the show's six stars had agreed to a multimillion-dollar deal to star in four one-hour episodes.

Some articles even went as far as to say that scripts were already being written.


However, "Access Hollywood" has learned that those reports are completely false.

"Not one ounce of truth," Jeff Zucker, CEO of NBC Universal Television Group, told "Access" of the rumors.

There were also rumblings of an all-male spin-off show starring David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc. But yet again, nothing more than false reports.

"Friends" ended its 10-year run back in May 2004. More than 52 million fans tuned in to the series finale.

[Georgiana]

Good...

I'm Glad there's is no reunion... Hell, it's only been a couple years -less if not that..

I watched the show if there wasn't anything else to watch. However it ticked me off that some people lived viacraiously though those characters (namely the female audience) and set standards and "trends" based on that show. It was kind of pathetic...

In 15-20 years I can see it, but not now. .. Gawd, not now... :rolleyes:

I really don't care to see any shows that have just recently gone off the air back on for a reunion. What's the point?


Okay, I'm done now.... :D

[LeslieandPaul]

Darn.

MAN!!! I am bummed....i loved friends....i know of many shows where tends are taken from...ever heard of SATC...i dont think i revolved my life around Friends...but i did love the show and would have loved to see a reunion. ;)

[philnikki]

I agree, I adored Friends. "Pathetic" as it may be, TV shows and the like are the start of many trends for as long as TV has been around! I don't feel as if I ever lived vicariously through through any characters, but I sure do miss that show (as I have a hard time finding things I actually like on TV anymore). I would have liked a reunion for the simple fact that I think we were gypped out of a Ross/Rachel wedding! Ah,well. It was fun while it lasted!

[Sophia]

Bummer

Oh, well. Maybe later down the road.

[philnikki]

LeslieandPaul - Doh! You are right! But I don't count that one bc they were drunk in Vegas! ;) lol I wanted a REAL wedding with flowers, a dress, sweet sentimental things said to each other, etc *sigh* :) lol

I heard this (http://tmz.aol.com/article1?id=20060124115009990001)while driving back from my meeting tonight...
TMZ has learned, the driver who escorted Jennifer Aniston and Joan Cusack around Sundance has been talking, and his stories are, to say the least, revealing.

Aniston and Cusack, along with Catherine Keener, were at Sundance for the premiere of their new film, 'Friends With Money."

Here's what the driver is saying:

- Aniston was so wound up over paparazzi following her, she told the driver: "You need to take me where nobody is." He accommodated her by driving for 25 minutes, ending up in a church parking lot. Aniston got out of the car and immediately began chain smoking cigarettes. The driver says this happened several times during her stay.

- Cusack was "sick" of all the hoopla surrounding Aniston's personal life. Cusack told the driver that even though she's a celebrity she's a private person and able to live a "nice normal life." The driver says Cusack put it this way: "It's a choice an actor makes." The comment wasn't specifically directed at Aniston, but the implication is certainly there.

The driver also talked about other celebs at Sundance. He says two "well-known actors" (he did not specify whom) tipped another driver with the joint they had been smoking in the car.

And, the driver says, as a pregnant Katie Holmes was busy with the debut of her movie 'Thank You For Smoking,' Tom Cruise was having a blast on the snow-covered mountains.

[MsPeachy]

That is so horrible about Chris Penn!!! He was only 40! I hope they are able to determine what caused his death. :(

From IMDB.com (http://imdb.com/news/wenn/#celeb1)

Hollywood hardman Russell Crowe has promised to "tar and feather" any photographer who hassles his pregnant wife Danielle Spencer. The blonde singer/actress is set to give birth to a brother or sister for their two-year-old son Charlie in July. The Oscar-winner has sent out a warning to snappers, because he believes paparazzi contributed to the premature birth of their son Charlie. He says, "Dani was three weeks early last time, she gave birth just a few days after she was chased down the street by four photographers. Nobody cares, particularly the photographers, nobody cares to focus on what that is. She was just walking down the street with her girlfriend and they rushed her - four of them all surrounded her. So she panicked and slipped and all this sort of stuff. If I'd been there that would have been a really serious situation. I tell you right now, they will be tarred and feathered if they hassle my pregnant wife again."


Monster-in-Law star Jennifer Lopez has sparked rumors that she is pregnant, after indulging in an extravagant baby wear shopping spree with husband Marc Anthony. The couple have recently been seen stocking up on baby supplies - Anthony was spotted buying a Guys Infant Gear nappy bag for $120 at swanky celebrity shopping spot Fred Segal in Los Angeles just last week. A witness at the store tells website Msnbc.com, "He said something that made it pretty clear that it wasn't a gift - that he intended to use it."



Hollywood hardman Joe Pesci allegedly punched a fan who refused to accept he didn't want his picture to be taken. Juan Carlos Montenegro, 24, claims the Goodfellas Oscar-winner lashed out in a shopping centre car park in Boca Raton, Florida on Sunday. Montenegro has told local police he asked the 62-year-old if he could take his photograph after spotting him leaving a shop, but Pesci replied, "Not now," and walked away. But the student followed Pesci and snapped him anyway - Pesci reportedly responded by hitting Montenegro before saying, "You shouldn't have been interrupting my business." A spokesperson for Boca Raton police said the case is being investigated but an independent witness needs to come forward if charges are to be pressed.



Hollywood star Nicole Kidman has laughed off reports she is engaged to country singer Keith Urban, insisting they are simply enjoying a "nice friendship". The Antipodean stars have been romantically linked since July, but both has refused to confirm the nature of their relationship. Since spending Thanksgiving and Christmas together in Urban's adopted hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, speculation has mounted the couple are preparing to marry. However, Kidman's publicist Wendy Day says, "Clearly they are enjoy a nice friendship together. But Nicole's personal life is her personal life and I have no further knowledge of their friendship."



Rapper Kanye West has a new feud brewing with America's Catholic League after posing as the wounded Jesus Christ on the cover of the upcoming issue of music magazine Rolling Stone. Bloodied West appears wearing a crown of thorns on his head in a provocative shot, which has upset the religious group's leaders, who are calling his latest controversial act "offensive" and "trite." Catholic League spokeswoman Kiera McCaffrey says, "It's moronic. I mean, Kanye West as Jesus? He's a pop star." But the Jesus Walks rapper insists he has a lot in common with Christ because he has to fight for recognition and suffer for success. In the accompanying article, West talks about the criticism fired at him last year when he famously suggested President George W. Bush was a racist during a Hurricane Katrina telethon, and criticized the US leader for not reacting to the disaster quicker. He explains, "If I was more complacent and I let things slide, my life would be easier, but you all wouldn't be as entertained. My misery is your pleasure." In the Rolling Stone spread, West also poses as boxing great Muhammad Ali.

Poor Kanye, confusing making oodles of cash writing shitty rap songs with dying for people's sins.

Supermodel KATE MOSS has signed a deal with Virgin mogul RICHARD BRANSON to write her autobiography. The 31-year-old British beauty will reportedly focus part of her memoir on her recent troubles stemming from published stills from a video allegedly showing her using cocaine at a recording studio. Moss was subsequently dropped by a number of companies after a tabloid printed the pictures last September. She later spent time in rehab, releasing a statement saying, "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 is reportedly earning $1.8 million for her book.

Actor Chris Penn found dead
Cause of death undetermined after autopsy

Wednesday, January 25, 2006; Posted: 9:33 p.m. EST (02:33 GMT)
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The cause of actor Chris Penn's death remained undetermined after an autopsy, and the coroner's office has ordered blood toxicology tests.

Penn, the brother of Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn and musician Michael, was found dead Tuesday in his Santa Monica condominium.

The toxicology test is "just normal procedure for someone who's 40 and has not seen their doctor," coroner's spokeswoman Brenda Shafer said Wednesday.

Penn's latest film, "The Darwin Awards," in which he appears with Winona Ryder and Joseph Fiennes, premiered later in the day at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

"He gave an incredible performance in the film," writer-director Finn Taylor said before the screening. "I think he is going to be remembered for years to come and we will miss him."

Chris Penn appeared in numerous films, including "Reservoir Dogs," "Starsky & Hutch," "Rush Hour" and "Corky Romano."

"Corky" star Chris Kattan described Penn's death as "a huge shock."

"He was an amazing actor and a great comedian," Kattan said. "He was such a sweet soul and so funny. He had a really great innocence in his eyes. Of course he'll be terribly missed."

Sean Penn's publicist, Mara Buxbaum, issued a statement Tuesday saying the Penn family "would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this difficult time." She released no further comment.

Penn's agent, Cary Berman of the William Morris Agency, referred calls to Buxbaum. Penn's manager, Jonathan Brandstein, did not return a call for comment.

Although he was not as well known as his brother Sean, 45, critics said he often was underrated.

"Just as talented as Sean -- just a lot less cocky," Slate magazine critic Cintra Wilson wrote of him last year. He "makes you seamlessly believe in characters so much you barely even notice them."

Brooke Shields pregnant with girl
NEW YORK (AP) -- Brooke Shields, who is pregnant with her second child, says of her baby due in May: "It's a girl!"

"I wasn't sure I was going to make this public," Shields told People magazine in a report Tuesday. "I'm thrilled for my daughter to have a little friend. Two Tauruses, it's a huge trick being played on me."

Shields' daughter, Rowan, who is 2, was born in May.

The 40-year-old actress has been married to TV writer-producer Chris Henchy since 2001.

Shields chronicled her post-pregnancy experiences in a memoir, "Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression." Her outspoken support of antidepressants prompted the criticism of Tom Cruise, a Scientologist who opposes psychiatry and prescription medication to battle depression.

The actress, who began modeling as a toddler, has appeared in films including "Pretty Baby," "The Blue Lagoon" and "Endless Love." Her TV sitcom, "Suddenly Susan," ran from 1996-2000.

Oops! I deleted it.

Here's something new instead:



Thu Jan 26, 4:25 AM ET

Megan Mullally will draw on the talk show hosts she watched as a youngster when the "Will & Grace" star launches her own contender in the fall.

"I want it to be a 'best of talk shows' talk show," she said. "I've always been a big fan of talk shows, ever since I was a kid -- (Johnny) Carson, Merv (Griffin) and Mike (Douglas). I think it's cool to pull elements from all the best shows."

"The Megan Mullally Show" will include comedic and musical elements, skits, field segments and a band, Mullally said. But one thing it won't have in common with many talk shows of its ilk is that she won't be seated behind a desk. Although the actual set is still being worked out, Mullally said she's aiming for something that's "fresh and different."

Mullally -- who has been at the NATPE TV sales convention this week in Las Vegas helping to promote the show -- also wants to feature a mix of celebrity guests and "real people" in the hour-long daytime show, saying she doesn't "want to discriminate between" the two groups.

"I genuinely care about people and life in general," she said. "I want to touch on a lot of different areas of life in a fun way. Sometimes it will be full-on, knock-down, drag-out comedy. . . . No matter what's going on, it's not going to be so crazily scripted -- it's just going to have an element of real spontaneity."

Although she'll be switching from a role she's playing in a sitcom to a role in which she's essentially playing herself, Mullally said she isn't nervous about taking on the new challenge. She'll be drawing on her own experiences as a guest on various talk shows as well as her own guest-hosting duties on shows like CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman."

"I'm really excited because I have so many great ideas, and it's going to be really fun to do," she said. "The talk show is different (from 'Will & Grace') because I'm so completely at the center of it; I'm actively involved in it. It just engages your creativity."

Executive producer Corin Nelson, former showrunner on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," said the show will rely heavily on Mullally's "quick wit and ability to react in the moment." She also said that "Megan Mullally" will be all about making both viewers and guests feel comfortable.

"We want to create an environment where celebrities feel completely at home . . . and where viewers feel like they're hanging out with a friend in the middle of the day," she said.

Mostly, Mullally wants the show to be "participatory" for the audience and ultimately just wants them to have fun. And stations are biting. Distributor NBC Universal Domestic TV said Wednesday that it has cleared the show on stations covering more than 70% of U.S. households.

"JOAQUIN PHOENIX SURVIVES CAR CRASH"

AN US WEEKLY EXCLUSIVE . . .

LOS ANGELES -- Us Weekly has learned exclusively that actor Joaquin Phoenix was involved in a serious car accident in the Hollywood Hills earlier today. ''His brakes went out and the car flipped over,'' the actor's publicist, Susan Patricola, tells Us. ''But he's doing fine. He may be very sore in the morning, but right now he is doing okay.''

Although the exact circumstances of the accident remain under investigation, his representative says the 31-year-old star was driving the car at the time, but is unknown whether there were other passengers in the car and whether they were injured. The Golden Globe winner was not hospitalized, according to his publicist. Sources tell Us the accident occurred on a winding stretch of Lauren Canyon Boulevard just north of Sunset Boulevard.

Phoenix, whose older brother River died at age 23 from a drug overdose in 1993 outside the Viper Room on Sunset Boulevard, has earned critical acclaim for his portrayal of the late Johnny Cash in last year's Walk the Line, costarring Reese Witherspoon. In addition his Golden Globe win on Jan. 16, the actor is nominated for a Screen Actors Guild award, to be handed out on January 29. ''Joaquin will be at the awards on Sunday,'' says his rep. ''He'll be okay.''

"JOAQUIN PHOENIX SURVIVES CAR CRASH"Holy Cow! Considering I just saw him around the other day, that's kind of freaky. But on Laurel or Mulholland (or any of the other curvey roads from Hollywood to the Valley - where I hear he lives) that wouldn't suprise me. Folks drive really fast on those roads. Sometimes it's just crazy!

[oneday someday]

Ok, am I the only one who didn't know that River Phoenix is/was Joaquin Phoenix's brother????? :confused: I hope he's ok!

[Dotsie]

I knew it. It took me a while to realize that Joaquin Phoenix used to be Leif Phoenix. He was with River the night he od'd.

[Lizard]

The story I saw today said that he was the only person in the car, and some bystanders helped him get out of the car and he was fine.

[Sophia]

I'm glad Joaquin was ok.

I've seen comments from several people recently that they didn't know Leaf was Joaquin and/or that he's River's brother. It always surprises me a little. Anyway, His real name is Joaquin, but he changed it to Leaf when he was younger because his siblings all had hippie names and apparently he wanted to fit in: River, Rain, Liberty, Summer. His last role to be credited as Leaf was "Parenthood."

[MsPeachy]

It always surprises me a little. Yeah - me too. Especially since he hasn't been Leaf in forever.

He was so good in Parenthood, I thought. Actually I just love that movie so much so maybe I'm biased.

Another sad split:

Two Melrose Place alums are experiencing some modern day drama of their own.
Josie Bissett and Rob Estes have announced plans to divorce, ending their marriage of more than 13 years.

Estes, 42, said that he moved out of the couple's Seattle home, where they have lived since the late '90s, nearly seven months ago at her behest.

The actor also said that it was his wife, 35, who requested the divorce and that he didn't want it. The divorce is not yet final. Estes made his remarks during an appearance at the Television Critics Association meeting earlier this week.

There was no immediate comment from Bissett's rep.

Bissett and Estes met in 1991 during a casting call for a TV movie and married May 1, 1992. The same year, Bissett joined the original cast of Melrose Place, a spinoff of Beverly Hills, 90210 featuring the trials and tribulations of bed-hopping twentysomethings in a Hollywood apartment complex. Bissett starred as Jane Andrews Mancini, long suffering wife to Dr. Michael Mancini (Thomas Calabro).

In 1996, Estes also joined the ensemble; when Bissett became pregnant later that year, she temporarily left the show. She returned in 1998 after suffering a miscarriage and remained with Melrose Place through its series finale in 1999.

Estes and Bissett welcomed their first child, son Mason True, on July 21, 1999. Their second child, daughter Maya Rose, was born Apr. 14, 2002.

After Fox shuttered Melrose Place, Bissett and Estes kept a relatively low profile, relocating to Bissett's hometown of Seattle. But they recently costarred in the ABC Family original movie I Do, They Don't, which aired on the family-friendly cable net last March.

Estes just finished filming the big-screen romantic comedy How to Go Out On a Date in Queens, alongside
Jason Alexander and
Kimberly Williams.

He has also been busy on the small screen. He costarred with
Kristin Davis in ABC's Desperate Housewives-esque pilot Soccer Moms, which the network declined to pick up, but then signed on to the ABC midseason replacement crime drama The Evidence with
Orlando Jones, which will debut later this season.

David Beckham spends a staggering £1,000 a month- on pants. The soccer ace allegedly splashes out hundreds of pounds on underwear every fortnight because he never wears the same pair twice. The Real Madrid star - who is married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham - reportedly picks up piles of designer Calvin Klein pants at Spain' s swanky El Cortes Ingles department store. A source at the shop said: "He buys 30 pairs every time and spends between £545 to £615. David never purchases anything other than Calvin Klein from the Pro Stretch range. He doesn't stick around very long and normally looks quite sheepish."

David is known for his extravagant tastes. At Christmas he presented Victoria with a stunning £1.2million ruby and diamond necklace.

Russell Crowe reckons he doesn't have a bad temper and describes himself as a "little furry animal".

The Oscar winner, who admitted throwing a phone at a New York hotel employee, said: "I'm just a bloke. I don't think I'm quick to anger at all.

"Did you see the footage of me walking into the court building?" he added, referring to his court appearance in New York last year, after the phone incident.

"Two hundred and fifty people and no controls. Absolutely barbaric. My wife got pushed, shoved and whacked with cameras. And I'm the one who's there for assault and having a temper?

"The unfairest thing about this is when you're just the little furry animal that gets run over on the road."

From Page Six:


'IDOL' AIKEN IN GAY SEX CLAIM

"CLAYMANIACS" are out for blood now that a former Green Beret has gone public with his claim that he had a gay sex romp with "American Idol" superstar Clay Aiken.

Alleged Aiken love toy John Paulus has been deluged with death threats from the singer's fervent fans ever since his name was leaked onto the Internet as the man who was blabbing to the National Enquirer that he had sex with their beloved "Idol," who's repeatedly denied being gay. The story is in the Enquirer issue out today nationwide.

"He is getting death threats from Clay's fans," a friend of Paulus tells PAGE SIX. "After his name was leaked on a couple of gossip Web sites, he's been getting threats. But he's also gotten calls from gay porn directors who want to cast him in a movie, kind of what happened after John Wayne Bobbitt got famous."

Paulus, 38, passed a polygraph test administered by the Enquirer in an attempt to corroborate his bombshell claim that he had sex with Aiken at a Quality Inn in Garner, N.C., on Jan. 2. In the new Enquirer, Paulus claims he and Aiken had 90 minutes of man-on-man passion at the hotel, which is near Aiken's hometown of Raleigh, N.C.

The muscle-bound ex-soldier says Aiken contacted him after seeing his picture on the Internet : "I have several personal ads on gay men Web sites," he told the Enquirer. "Clay later told me he saw my pictures on a couple and decided to e-mail me. On Dec. 16, using the screen name of 'valleyprettyboy,' Clay sent me his first message.

"He wrote, 'Hey man, [I] see you're online. I'm 26 years old from Raleigh and would love to talk. I have pics but I have a very recognizable face and I can't post the pics. I would be happy to send them to you if you can promise absolute discretion."

Paulus added that in later e-mails, Aiken "told me that he had just come out of the closet to his mother and a few close friends last year. He told me that he was single again, having broken up with his boyfriend about five months ago."

Aiken has always maintained that he is straight, but in 2003 he told Diane Sawyer on ABC's "Primetime Live," "I have some very effeminate qualities." His spokesman, Roger Widynowkski, declined to comment on the Enquirer story yesterday.

Lindsay Lohan Goes to Hospital Again

Teen star Lindsay Lohan, 19, was admitted to a London hospital Friday afternoon and received ten stitches in her shin, after she slipped on a set of stairs at singer/photographer Bryan Adams' $5 million mansion, Lindsay's mom Dina exclusively tells Star, the first media outlet in the world to report the mishap. Lindsay was released later that day.

"She and her friends were preparing breakfast, with eggs and everything, and Lindsay was going up the stairs, carrying a ceramic teacup," Dina explains to Star.

"She had just come out of the shower so she was still wet and had some lotion on, and she completely flipped on the stairs since it was slippery. The teacup went flying, it was shattered, and one of the pieces cut Lindsay in her shin. It was an accident."

After Lindsay bandaged up the cut, she called Dina — while en route to the city in a London taxi cab with two of her friends and a personal assistant — to do some shopping.

"She called me from the cab, I was in New York at the time, and she told me what happened. I panicked because I'm a mother, but she said 'Mommy, I'm fine.' She said it was bleeding through the bandage a bit, so she asked, 'Mommy, should I go to the hospital?' I told her to go."

Dina tells Star, "She's totally fine." She adds, laughing, "She's doing jumping jacks now!"

Adams, a Lohan family friend, was out of town at the time, Dina tells Star, but he let Lindsay and her entourage stay there while they were in London. The pair met about 18 months ago when Adams photographed Lindsay, as well as several other stars, for pictures that later appeared in the 2005 book American Women.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -
Tom Cruise may have survived a Martian attack in last year's remake of "War of the Worlds," but he has failed to elude Hollywood's movie police.

The actor was among the contenders announced on Monday for the annual Razzie Awards, which "honor" the worst achievements in film.

Cruise will compete for the year's worst actor award with
Will Ferrell ("Bewitched," "Kicking & Screaming"),
Jamie Kennedy ("Son of the Mask"), Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson ("Doom") and
Rob Schneider ("Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo").

The nominees were announced by The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, a tongue-in-cheek organization that claims more than 700 voting members.

Foundation head John Wilson said in an interview he did not think Cruise's portrayal of a working-class man in "War of the Worlds" was particularly credible.

While there were arguably worse performances, Cruise's off-screen antics, either in support of Scientology, or in the throes of passion with new girlfriend
Katie Holmes, ensured he made the grade, Wilson said.

Indeed, Cruise was nominated twice in the new category of most tiresome tabloid target, which salutes "the celebs we're all sick and tired of," Wilson said.

Cruise is already a Razzie winner, sharing the honor with
Brad Pitt for worst screen couple in "Interview with the Vampire." He was also nominated for the film "Cocktail."

Actresses
Jenny McCarthy and
Jessica Simpson also picked up three nominations. McCarthy was cited for worst actress, worst screen couple and worst screenplay for "Dirty Love." Simpson will also vie for worst screen couple, as well as worst supporting actress as Daisy Duke in "The Dukes of Hazard."

"Son of the Mask," a sequel to the 1994
Jim Carrey hit, led the nominated films with eight mentions. Unfortunately for the producers, Carrey did not reprise his role in the new film and no one went to see it.

"Dukes of Hazzard," which did well at the box office, received seven nominations.

Winners will be announced on March 4, the day before the
Academy Awards. Last year's announcement was attended by
Halle Berry, graciously taking her lumps for "Catwoman."

Is Elisabeth Hasselbeck is expecting again?

CBB readers Jessica, Laura, and Donna have all written in to Danielle and I to tell us their suspicions that View host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is expecting again. Daughter Grace is 9 months, and according to Jessica, Elisabeth had commented a while back that she would like to conceive again when Grace was around 6 months, so that her children would be close in age - making her about 3 months along now. Laura says that next Thursday would be a prime time to announce the pregnancy, as the View is hitting it's 2000th show milestone.

Jessica and Laura each commented that Elisabeth seems to be hiding a small bump by wearing loose, flowing tops as of late - and her comment on Friday that jeans are now so stretchy that "they can be worn at any time" may be telling. However, CBB reader Sonja says no way, emailing that Elisabeth has mentioned on the show a few times in the last month or so that she is trying to stay away from her husband Tim to avoid getting pregnant again! She joked that she brushes her teeth for a very long time in hopes that he will be asleep by the time she gets to bed!

Have any other CBB readers and View watchers noticed anything? If so, please leave a comment or send in an email with your suspicions.

Jen Moves On; Vince Moves In

We've all heard the mantra about how Jennifer Aniston is totally over Brad Pitt and doing just fine, thank you very much. But she apparently couldn't stop the waterworks from turning on when she learned he was on the stork's delivery route.

According to People, the actress shed a few tears when she got early word -- from someone other than her ex-husband -- that Angelina Jolie was expecting.

"Jennifer was very upset -- she was crying," a "source close to the situation" tells the magazine. Adds an insider to Us Weekly, "Jennifer was horrified by the news."

Still, by the time the baby bombshell dropped in the press, it seems she had come to terms with it.

"Jennifer is fine [about the pregnancy]," a pal asserts to People, with another insisting, "She's moved on. She really has. She's very happy with her life right now."

Part of the reason for that happiness seems to be her continued closeness with Vince Vaughn, who has reportedly been crashing at her Hollywood Hills pad since the beginning of the year.

"Vince has been there for her 24/7," a snitch tells the Star. "He's endeared himself to her so much that she told him to move in."

The height-challenged squeezes, who were first spotted looking lovey-dovey last summer on the Chicago set of "The Break-Up," have become "inseparable," a Vaughn buddy tells People.

(Well, except for the last few days. Work commitments are said to have kept the funnyman from the Sundance Film Festival, where Aniston braved the press to promote her well-received flick "Friends with Money.")

"They met at a time when she needed someone to make her smile," continues the friend. "He did a really good job of lifting her spirits, and now it's evolved into a true love affair ... I've never seen him care for anyone this deeply."

And the pal even has a few ideas as to why Jen, who turns 37 next month, is drawn to Vince, 35: "He's an alpha male. He's got fortitude and is resolute in life. But it really comes down to the simple fact that he makes her laugh."

As for where things stand with Pitt, "There is no real animosity," a confidante concludes to People. "They are not enemies."

Lyonne on the Run After Missed Court Date

A judge has issued an arrest warrant for American Pie star Natasha Lyonne after she failed to appear in court on Friday. The troubled 26-year-old actress is facing a number of charges, including criminal mischief, harassment and trespassing. Lyonne also allegedly threatened to sexually molest her former neighbor's dog during a 2004 altercation. Friday's hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court was rescheduled after the actress missed several court dates earlier in the week. Last week's absence marks the fourth time Lyonne has missed a court date and the third time a bench warrant has been issued for her arrest.

Hayden Christensen meets the parents

Sienna Miller is so excited about her budding romance with Hayden Christensen that she is flying her family to the US to meet him.

The beautiful actress - who recently split with Jude Law - has become increasingly close to the 'Star Wars' actor since they met on the set of upcoming film 'Factory Girl'.

But sources say the 24-year-old doesn't want to get too serious until she has her family's approval. A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "Sienna has had strong feelings for Hayden ever since they met on the set of the movie. But she tried to fight against them because it was too soon after her split from Jude. She finally stopped fighting her feelings for him and they have been inseparable ever since. But she doesn't want to get too serious until she has won her family's approval."

'Layer Cake' star Sienna split with one time fiance Jude after a difficult year that saw both partners cheat. The pair only recently got back together after he apologised for sleeping with the couple's nanny.

"'Full House' Sweetheart Talks About Meth Addiction"


Feb. 1, 2006 — As Stephanie Tanner on the 1990s hit sitcom "Full House," child actress Jodie Sweetin portrayed a young, innocent girl who lived in a happy, healthy supportive home.

"Growing up when I was on the series, I never really watched, even from this day, it's surreal to watch myself on television," said Sweetin. "Growing up in the business you have to grow up very fast — you do have a different type of childhood, that has its benefits and it has its drawbacks."

When the show ended in 1995, she said she wanted to be a normal kid. She went to high school and college and by age 20 was married to a Los Angeles police officer — TV older sister Candice Cameron was in the wedding party.

But two years ago, she found herself dangerously addicted to one of the most debilitating drugs, methamphetamine. She said she was unemployed and bored and began simply by experimenting. Soon, she was using meth everyday.

The tabloid press reported a three-day bender as well as an intervention staged by her "Full House" castmates — including the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, John Stamos and Bob Saget.

Sweetin, 24, never went as far as to blame her life as a child star for her addiction, but said that it was difficult to discover who she truly was after the show ended.

"There is a certain sense of loss when a series ends," she said. "It is kind of hard to figure out who you are when you've lost your job at age 13, when that was basically how you identified yourself."

Sweetin said she checked herself in to the Promises drug rehab facility where she went underwent six weeks of intense treatment. She realized that she "was living a total double life," she said. "I was married to a police officer — we are going through a divorce right now — he had no idea."

Sweetin has been clean and sober since March of last year and now wants to get back into acting.

"I want to make movies, TV series, wherever the career takes me," she said. "I really hope this isn't the last people hear of me. In fact, I would like to make this a footnote in my career, not the end."Source: ABC News

So far these two have seemed to keep things civil during their divorce. They even tried to work t out but their vacation turned into realizing they hated each other and they decided to move forward with their divorce. Now it looks like it has taken a turn for the worse. People reports:

“It’s gotten very ugly,” someone close to Richards, tells PEOPLE. “They aren’t talking to each other at all.”

Sources familiar with the couple say the relationship deteriorated rapidly and there is no hope of reconciliation. “His only concern is for the kids,” says a friend of Sheen’s.

As for the status of their split, Sheen and Richards are trying to figure out custody arrangements for their two daughters, Sam, almost 2, and Lola, 8 months. According to their initial court petitions, Richards is seeking sole custody but Sheen wants joint custody.

“This has been really hard on Denise,” says a Richards pal. “But she’s staying strong for her daughters’ sake.”

The other night, Lindsay Lohan lost her diary at Hiro. It was eventually returned, but several pages were ripped out, prompting her lawyers to send a preemptive letter to major gossips, threatening that any publication that chose to run the diary’s contents would face copyright infringement. Blah, blah — sending a letter like that before any details leak out is as good as giving your client a helmet after she already fell off the monkey bars.

The loss of Lohan’s diary presents several questions: What 19-year-old girl still keeps a handwritten diary? Why would Lohan bring this diary out for a night of partying? Is Lohan even marginally aware that she is Lindsay Lohan, and thus should avoid any sort of paper trail? Most importantly, WHAT WAS ON THE MISSING PAGES? According to a someone who claims to know the Hiro bartender who stole the pages, Lindsay was quite prolific. Big fat disclaimer: The following information is paraphrased, and we have no idea if any of it’s true:

- Lindsay had just taken a “©” [Lohan for “blow”?] and felt a little dizzy.

- She contemplates her needs and wants just like all of us pathetic slobs. Unlike us, she wonders whether or not she wants Jared Leto…

- There are issues with the former Jordan Catalano’s, um, member being a bit too large; sex is suffering.

We suppose that last bit is only TMI since Leto’s weight gain. More genius prose after the jump.

- Lindsay likens the size conflict to the feeling of squeezing into tiny Jimmy Choos. [Ed: I swear to f*cking God]

- She cites that she is sitting at the bar downing a Blood Mary.

- LiLo mentions she has a bad cough she can’t get rid of.

- Lindsay writes that she and her mother got tats that day: a heart on Lindsay’s hand and a star for mom’s wrist– apparently matching LiLo’s existing star tattoo. This is journalism, people.

- Her sister Lauren called somebody “Hitler”– this merits a swastika illustration in the margin.

- Lindsay recounts that she had a ball at the Kate Spade sale, and our little rich girl is still excited about sale prices. How adorable!

Again, we don’t know how true any of this is; the blogger who documented the above prose claims to have heard it via voicemail from the page-stealing bartender. And while we’re pretty sure that Lohan doesn’t have a sister named Lauren, we do believe that dealing with a big Catalano-c*ck is like squeezing into $400 stilettos.

Many (maybe most?) college students have the Garden State soundtrack and/or DVD. So he pocketed a lot from that project!

Plus, he was "compilation producer" of that soundtrack, and won a Grammy ("Best Compilation Soundtrack For A Motion Picture.")

I liked them as a couple until I just read that she is 21 and he is 30. Which also means when they started dating they were 19 and 28. ew.

[BrownEyedGirl]

I think they are a super cute couple. Yes she may have been 19, but she was a lot more mature than most 19 year olds. Probably more mature than a lot of 28 year old girls. I don't really see anything wrong with it. I think emotional maturity counts for a lot in relationships

[suzubeane]

Yeah, that's what they said about Mena Suvari who married an older man at 21. They've split up. Then again, Kate Hudson married an older man at 21 and they're going strong. (Aren't they?)

FWIW, it's Zack this makes me wonder about - not Mandy.

[Raven_Girl]

Mandy Moore was dating Wilmer (Lindsey's ex) when she was 16 so its not unusual for her to be with someone older. Her last bf was closer to her age.


Plus, he was "compilation producer" of that soundtrack, and won a Grammy ("Best Compilation Soundtrack For A Motion Picture.")

I'm the same age as Mandy Moore (well, 2 months older actually :p) and I would date a 30 year old. My husband is 28, and I once dated a guy older than that. Guys at the age have about the same maturity level as a 21 year old woman, so it's a good match.

[suzubeane]

And when I was 38 (on "hiatus" from my now DH) I dated a 23 year old. And I *looked at him* as a 23 year old. My point is that 19 years old is barely adult. And nearly 30 year-olds know this. That's all.

(I don't subscribe to the "guys are all immature" school of thought, so I can't comment on that.)

At least she was legal and he didn't have to ask her parent's permission to keep her out past curfew (Nicolas Cage) or marry his adopted daughter (Woody Allen).

It's more of an age difference than I could do but I could understand it in her case, especially looking at the other guys her age in Hollywood. She isn't big into the party scene like most of her peers.

[Rose]

Yeah, that's what they said about Mena Suvari who married an older man at 21.

Didn't she marry a 38 (at the time) year old? That's a big difference to me.

Yes, that's Candace Cameron with her.
CAndace's kids used to go to the school I taught at, she is super sweet!

Locklear, Sambora file for divorceCouple has been wed 11 years, has one daughter

After 11 years of marriage, actress Heather Locklear has filed for divorce from rocker Richie Sambora, her publicist said Thursday.

Sambora, 45, is a founding member and lead guitarist for the rock band Bon Jovi. He has also released two solo albums.

Locklear and Sambora were married in 1994. Their daughter, Ava Elizabeth, is 8.

Locklear was previously married to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee.

I was sad too. I really like Richie and Heather together. They had a house in the town I grew up in and they were always out and so friendly. I guess all good things must come to an end.

Mischa Barton Reacts to Fat Pig Comment

Mischa Barton has laughed off reports that Nicky Hilton called her a "fat pig". 'The OC' star says she doesn't care what Hilton thinks of her and believes the comment reflects badly on the hotel heiress.

She said:

"If Nicky really made that remark it says more about her than it does about me."

Nicky - sister of socialite Paris - was apparently horrified to see the stunning actress at a star-studded bash at the swanky Regent Beverly Wilshire on Saturday night (01.28.06). According to a report in America's New York Post newspaper, Nicky snapped: "What is that fat pig doing here?" She then fled to the other side of the room.

Moss Flees Britain After Questioning

Supermodel Kate Moss has sparked further speculation she is planning to quit Britain for good - she has left the country just 48 hours after she returned to face a drugs investigation. Moss fled her homeland after photographs of her snorting cocaine were published in September, and traveled all over the United States, the Caribbean and Europe as she avoided a police investigation. Moss finally returned to London on Tuesday, where she spent 80 minutes talking to detectives "under caution." A police spokesperson said, "I can confirm that a 32-year-old woman has voluntarily attended a London police office today in relation to a Metropolitan Police investigation into allegations of possible drug abuse as reported in newspaper reports. She has not been arrested." Police say no charges will be filed until the investigation is complete. After her brief visit home, Moss left yesterday on a flight bound for Miami, Florida.


Hilton Fighting for Her Personal Possessions

Socialite Paris Hilton is fighting for the return of storage items she claims were illegally seized and sold at auction. The hotel heiress learned about her missing computers, journals, tapes and hundreds of photos when a reporter at tabloid National Enquirer contacted her management after he had been offered the items for a price. He declined the offer. The journalist told Hilton's handlers that two men, who claimed to have purchased the socialite's stuff at auction, offered to sell him the items. Hilton's publicist Elliott Mintz tells entertainment news website Tmz.com, "The items were illegally seized... Paris is incredibly upset and angry." The socialite's lawyers are threatening to go after anyone in possession of Paris' possessions.

Jess signs new $35M deal

Jessica Simpson has signed an astounding $35 million deal to remain with Columbia Records, the label she's been with since 1998.

"Jessica Simpson is one of the most consistent, hard-working artists we have on our roster," a spokesman for the label tells the Hollywood Reporter. "She really has earned this deal. But this wasn't an exchange of money for guaranteed anything."

"I am so excited with this new deal and I'm looking forward to finishing my upcoming album," Jessica Simpson said in a statement. "Columbia has been my home since the beginning of my career. I am happy to be continuing the relationship and I look forward to working on new things with my extended family."

Jessica Simpson's gigantic contract makes her the youngest artist ever to have such an earning. Jessica Simpson will release four new albums and one greatest-hits compilation, and according to the contract, will get $8 million up front. However, since her divorce with Nick Lachey is not finalized yet, he may end up with half of that money. Jessica Simpson has sold more than 12 million albums worldwide. Her album "In This Skin"(2003) became her biggest selling album ever.

However, according to the new reports, the group will embark on a tour without Melanie C, who is understood to be unhappy with the idea of a reunion and keen to continue pursuing a solo career.

The November tour will include between ten and 12 dates and will be followed by a greatest hits album and a DVD, scheduled for the Christmas market, reports The Sun. Geri Halliwell is expected to feature in the group, alongside Victoria Beckham, Mel B and Emma Bunton, after she gives birth to her first child in May.

Wow... this is juicy! These girls have got to stop keeping diaries and then leaving them lying around.


According to Ben Widdicombe of the New York Daily News, on January 22nd, Lindsay Lohan left her diary at Hiro inside the Maritime Hotel. It was returned to her, but several pages were missing from it. Her rep told Widdicombe, "We appreciate the diary being returned, but unfortunately we are saddened by the fact that pages were stolen." Lohan’s people then threatened many major gossip outlets - including the Smoking Gun - with copyright infringement and violation of privacy should the diary’s contents be published.

The threat wasn’t enough to stop one fearless blogger, Velvet Rope Whore, from going ahead and releasing details about the missing entries, however. According to VRW, a friend of hers who works at Hiro was the culprit who snatched the pages and sent them to Widdicombe. The Hiro employee read her the entry, which she summarized.

- Lindsay had just taken a “©”…and felt a little woozy.
- She wonders whether or not she wants Jared Leto…
- There are issues with [Jared’s]…member being a bit too large; sex is suffering. (Lindsay likens the size conflict to the feeling of squeezing into tiny new Jimmy Choos.)

VRW does not mention the fact that another man with the initials AL was discussed. Widdicombe mentioned this in his initial report and assumed that AL was Adam Levine of Maroon 5. Adam gets around nearly as much a Lindsay does. He was rumored to have had a one night stand at Chateau Marmont with alleged former fling Jessica Simpson recently.

Angelina Jolie in Aniston fan attack

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have escaped an attack by a Jennifer Aniston fan. The loved-up pair - who are expecting their first child together this year - were dining at Berlin's Nola restaurant when a woman stormed in and screamed: "Where is that home-wrecking Angelina?"

The crazed fan - dressed in a 'Friends' T-shirt - spotted the Hollywood couple and attempted to slap Angelina.

Fortunately the 'Tomb Raider' star's bodyguards stepped in and held the American woman back while the pair headed for their waiting car. A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "Angelina had taken her adopted kids Maddox and Zahara to Berlin. It's lucky she left them with a carer." The mentally unbalanced American had obviously been tipped off that they would be dining at Nola, because she was wearing an Aniston top and was on the look-out for Angelina.

"Angelina would normally have confronted the woman, but she was petrified because she's carrying her first child and won't risk any harm coming to it."

[Rosebud]

The Superficial is also reporting the "Angelina Attacked by Aniston Fan" story. Here's what they said about it:

I love it when crazy people are allowed to roam free and make complete asses of themselves. She probably got the tip during her daily routine of writing letters to Jennifer Aniston and talking to the TV. And after she hung up the phone you know she pulled out her trustee "Team Aniston" hat, said a silent prayer to herself, and vowed to avenge the honor of her beloved Jennifer, before dashing out the door on a mission ordained by God himself.

That website makes me laugh! They are also reporting the Lindsey Lohan lost diary story, and this is what they had to say about that:

Unfortunate, because I'm sure we were all wetting ourselves with anticipation to read entries like: "Dear Diary, today I made out with Fez! LOL OMG!!! And then I threw up in the toilet! LOL!!! Eating is for loser fatties!"

Poor Richie Sambora didn't know his wife Heather Locklear filed for divorce. He also still thought that she was going to be his Valentine.

Audio File (mp3) (http://a.abcnews.com/podcast/060203sambora.mp3) of his response to ABC News.



"It's completely untrue," he insisted, adding that he had Valentine's Day plans with his wife.

Nevertheless, the "Spin City" actress had already set the legal wheels in motion, and her spokeswoman, CeCe York, was spreading the word.

"After 10 years of marriage, Heather Locklear has filed for divorce from Richie Sambora," the rep said in a statement hours earlier. "This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."

The message was apparently not delivered to the rocker, who has been touring recently, and he spoke with ABC shortly before a show at Washington's MCI Center.

Even when confronted with the report, which had then hit the news wires, he spoke lovingly of Locklear.

"I'm going home," said Sambora, who says that Locklear sometimes joins him when he's touring.

"Heather was just up for our anniversary and that was Dec. 15 … I was home for like two and a half weeks over Christmas, and I have a month off in March, so it's going to be good."

NEW YORK - A star-studded music video shoot was interrupted by gunfire that killed a bodyguard for rapper Busta Rhymes, police said.

Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes and G-Unit members including Lloyd Banks were scheduled to be filming on a ninth-floor soundstage when violence erupted outside the Brooklyn building early Sunday, said police Sgt. Kevin Farrell.

Israel Ramirez, 29, was killed with a single shot to the chest, Farrell said.

Some 500 people were gathered for the Busta Rhymes video, and it was unclear how many had been outside when shots were fired.

Investigators took possession of a nearby parked car that was hit by the gunfire. They were still trying to determine early Monday what led to the violence, Farrell said.

This is so sad because I was listening to him just last week on an Los Angeles radio station talk about how much AGAINST violence he is and how happy and proud he is of making this video because of how torn apart the hip hop industry is and how he wanted to bring everyone together for an allstar video. Busta Rhymes is one of the more positive, respectful rapper in the game and it is sad that something like this has to happen to someone in his camp.

He much prefers Prince Charles' new wife.

"The public does not know who Camilla is," he tells interviewer Vanessa Grigoriadis.

"She is the life of the party! She's sparkling, she's witty, she's ready for everything, and not pretentious, not one bit. If you had to make a choice to live with somebody, this is the one."

Mariah Carey is a complicated and inventive linguist. Thankfully her official website has a dictionary of "Mariahisms" so we can understand the deeper meaning behind her favorite terms...

BE GOOD: Two words Mariah ends conversations with.

BING BONG!: Used to quickly end an argument or conversation while still able to be funny

BOO: Mariah's phrase for people fond of her.

COLLABO: A slight abbreviation for "collaboration", word usage originated in 1999

ENSEMBLE: Same as "outfit" (e.g. "Do you like the ensemble?")

PIP!: A phrase used to describe something really cool for example "Those jeans are very Pip!"

STELLAR: A word in place of "great" or "good"

THINGS OF THAT NATURE: A common phrase Mariah uses often meaning "things like that."

WHY?: Said in a rhetorical sense as if asking "Why me? What did I do to deserve this?" Meant to be comical.

YOU LOVE ME: All-purpose, anytime phrase. A greeting, a goodbye, or just something to throw into a pause in the conversation or to interject loudly while someone is speaking.

(Not to be confused with Madamisms!)

To clarify Lagerfeld's comments, some of his designs include fur and I think that he's been targeted by anti-fur demonstrators before, which is probably what he's referring to when he's talking about people splashing chemicals in his eyes.

And lots of people talk about Camilla the way he talks about her here, actually. It's not the nicest way to do it, with the comment about Diana, but Camilla's friends always talk about how she gets a bum rap in the media. That's probably just what he was talking about.

Photographer Fracas at Penn Funeral

Sean Penn and his All The King's Men co-star Mark Ruffalo were reportedly involved in a fracas with a photographer at the funeral of the Oscar-winner's brother Chris Penn on Saturday. Sean, 45, and Ruffalo, 38, were amongst family and friends paying tribute to the 40-year-old Reservoir Dogs star, who was found dead in his Santa Monica, California, apartment on January 24, at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California. The New York Daily News reported Sean was furious to see a paparazzo interrupting his family's grieving and his anger propelled Ruffalo to snatch the memory card from the snapper's digital camera. News site Tmz.com reports an unnamed photographer lodged a criminal complaint against Ruffalo at Culver City Police Department on Saturday afternoon. A spokeswoman for Sean said she wasn't aware of any altercation, saying, "The Penn family, with the loving support of family and longtime friends, buried their youngest son and brother, Chris, today at a private service. I have no knowledge of an incident and have no intention of disturbing the family at this time." During the funeral, Sean read a eulogy to his late brother, saying, "I had a little brother. And for any brother who goes over to the other side with our father, into the cosmos, I will follow if they let me." Also in attendance at the funeral was Sean's actress wife Robin Wright Penn, Jack Nicholson, James Gandolfini, Charlie Sheen, Tim Robbins, Tom Sizemore and Robert Downey, Jr.


Lyonne's Father Slams "Homeless" Reports

Troubled actress Natasha Lyonne's father has rubbished reports his daughter is "homeless" - insisting she is wealthy and living very comfortably. Aaron Braunstein has spoken out on behalf of the troubled American Pie star, who is currently facing a string of police charges, including criminal mischief, harassment and trespassing. He tells the New York Post, "Everyone keeps saying 'Poor Natasha, she's homeless,' but she's very wealthy. I live in a huge penthouse with nine bedrooms on the Upper West Side; her grandparents are very wealthy in Beverly Hills." And he claims Lyonne refuses to be tried over her alleged threat to sexually molest a former neighbor's dog because "nothing happened." He adds, "It's obvious the case is going to be dismissed. (Criminal lawyers) Mel Sachs, Ben Brafman and Bruce Cutler say unless the dog testifies, there's no case." Lyonne failed to appear in court last month. The absence marks the fourth time Lyonne has missed a court date and the third time a bench warrant has been issued for her arrest.

Moss Fails in Cocaine Courtroom Bid

Kate Moss Friday failed in her courtroom bid to prevent footage of her snorting cocaine last year being used in her upcoming libel case. British TV network Five broadcast claims the supermodel took so much cocaine at a 2001 charity fashion show in Barcelona, Spain, she fell unconscious. The show The Truth About Kate Moss which was broadcast on January 27, 2005. Mr Justice Eady today told Five's legal representatives they would be able to use photographs published by British tabloid the Daily Mirror in September, which explicitly show Moss snorting lines of cocaine. On September 22, Moss issued a public apology and later underwent intensive treatment at an Arizona rehab clinic in a bid to overcome her "personal issues." Five's legal counsel Matthew Nicklin told the court, "The present application arises because the claimant (Moss) wishes to prevent the defendant, as part of its defense of any defamatory sting conveyed by the program, from proving the full truth of her cocaine abuse." Moss' lawyer David Sherborne told the court that the allegation that she had taken a "vast" quantity of cocaine and had to be revived from a coma was "wholly untrue and seriously defamatory." Last year, Moss successfully sued British newspaper the Sunday Mirror for publishing a similar story. The case is expected to go to trial in the autumn.

Kelly Clarkson, Boyfriend Break Up

Kelly Clarkson and her boyfriend since July, Oklahoma-born rocker Graham Colton, have broken up, a rep for the pop star's record label confirms to PEOPLE. "They remain good friends," adds a source. "They were even out together a week or so ago. But she's on the road, and he's in the studio, and there just isn't time to spend together."

In December, PEOPLE reported that the summer romance was still generating heat between the American Idol champ, 23, and her 24-year-old beau, whose Graham Colton Band was the opening act for her Behind These Hazel Eyes Tour. As both lived in Dallas, "they have that Texas thing in common," said a source close to the couple, who described the musicians as "both very spiritual and mature for their ages" and theirs as "a committed relationship."

As quoted in the German magazine Bravo, Clarkson, who recently toured Europe, reportedly said of Colton: "He will always be one of my best friends. I'm not sad, really, because our relationship made me believe in love again."

She added: "Graham is the coolest guy I've ever been with. Maybe one day we'll get back together – if we don't have to work so much anymore." Colton and his band previously opened for John Mayer, Maroon 5 and the Dave Matthews Band. Grammy nominee Clarkson is due to perform at Wednesday's ceremony. Her multiplatinum album, Breakaway, which spawned four Top 10 hits, is up for female pop vocal performance ("Since U Been Gone" and best pop vocal album.
