PAMELA ANDERSON BACK TO RUSSIA

Sexy Pamela Anderson has a good heart

Pamela Anderson has vowed to return to a Russian orphanage after falling "in love" with the children.The actress - who was in Russia to co-host the MTV Russia Film Awards last week - said visiting the "inspiring" orphans was the highlight of the trip and really "opened her eyes".The former 'Baywatch' star wrote on her official website www.pamelaanderson.com: "I especially loved visiting an orphanage outside of Moscow. It was really eye opening - sad but inspiring to see these kids happy despite having nothing - really nothing, including parents."I'm going back to visit - I'm in love with them and their spirits."The 39-year-old - who has two sons, Brandon, 10, and Dylan, nine - also spent time learning about the Russian adoption system. She noted: "It's very difficult to adopt from Russia unless you are Russian or living in Russia. It's not common in their culture, and they do not have a foster care system". Pamela was touched by the orphans' "heart-wrenching" stories and is hopeful for their future. She added: "Their stories are heart-wrenching, but when you put your arms around these kids and kiss them - play games with them and listen to them sing and laugh - it really makes you reach inside - know how blessed we are - and know how much of a blessing it is that we can brighten a child's day."I have hope for them, they will survive, and I hope as this transition still occurs throughout Russia that they are given a chance."

ANGELINA JOLIE TO CHANGE PAX THIEN

Angelina Jolie has made a formal court request to change adopted son Pax Thien's surname to Jolie-Pitt. Angelina filed the request for her son, who is currently called Pax Thien Jolie, to take lover Brad Pitt's surname at a Santa Monica Superior Court on April 16. Angelina adopted three-year-old Pax - whose name means 'Peaceful Sky' - in March from a Vietnamese Orphanage she had visited with Brad several times before. Vietnamese law makes it hard for unmarried couples to adopt, so the actress applied as a single parent. In January 2006, Angelina made a similar request to add Brad's name to her five-year-old Cambodian son Maddox and two-year-old Ethiopian daughter Zahara. Brad is now joint guardian to Maddox and Zahara and the couple also have an 11-month-old daughter Shiloh together.

ROSIE O'DONNELL LEAVING 'THE VIEW'

Rosie O'Donnell on The View

Talk show queen Rosie O'Donnell said on Wednesday she will end her rein as wold co-host of ABC's "The View" in June when her contract expires, ending a nine-month run that saw her do battle with Donald Trump and other celebrities. O'Donnell, 45, said she and the Walt Disney Co.-owned network failed to come to terms on a contract renewal deal, but she would return to the show next season for special segments and as a recurring guest host. She said one unresolved issue in her talks with ABC had been the length of her contract, with the network seeking a three-year extension while she held out for just one year."It just didn't work, and that's showbiz. But it's not sad, because I've loved it here, and I love you guys, and I'm not going away. I'm just not going to be here everyday," O'Donnell said on the show, drawing applause. Barbara Walters, the daytime talk show's creator, co-executive producer and fellow co-host, said she was "sad" over O'Donnell's impending departure and that she was not involved in the negotiations between ABC and O'Donnell."I knew you were coming for one year, I hoped it would be more," Walters said after O'Donnell spoke. The weekday program, averaging 3.5 millions viewers in its 10th season, has seen the size of its overall audience grow 17 percent since O'Donnell joined the show in September. The actress-comedian, an activist for gay adoption and other social causes, has drawn frequent headlines for her brand of commentary. She has often skewered such powerful men as real estate baron Trump and Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly from her seat on "The View," a panel hosted by four women discussing news and gossip.

KATE MOSS HAS NEW CLOTHING LINE

Kate Moss will pose as a real-life mannequin when she launches her new clothing range. Kate will model her new line in the shop window of Topshop's flagship London store on May 1, the day her range hits the rails. A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Kate plans to pose as a mannequin. Her biggest problem will be not laughing. When the red curtain is drawn back and Kate has been seen in some of her items, the doors will open and the outfits will officially go on sale."Kate recently admitted she is not easy to work with.The 33-year-old beauty, who received a reported $6 million from the highstreet chain, revealed she is a perfectionist and always speaks her mind. She said: "Topshop haven't said no to anything I wanted to do. I've said,'This isn't good enough', or 'This fabric doesn't feel right, it's too stiff', or 'This leather is too shiny, it needs to be more matt' and they have done it."Kate - who admits she isn't a natural fashion designer - agreed to work withTopshop because she was fed up of people copying her style. She said: "I can't sketch and I can't make clothes. I think they kind ofcopy me sometimes. I mean, I'm sure they do it with a lot of people, but I do notice with me, they do it so quickly and they do it so well. So I said,'I could give you my stamp, and you could get It direct.' I can't wait to see people wearing it."
Note: Who would copy Kate Moss's style ? She always looks a mess !

STONES KEITH RICHARDS MOTHER DIES

Rolling Stones Keith Richards


Keith Richards' mother has died. Doris Richards peacefully passed away on Saturday night aged 91 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Rolling Stones guitarist Keith, 63, had been keeping a bedside vigil at the clinic in London's Harley Street where she was treated before her death.The band's spokesman Bernard Doherty said: "Doris Richards, aged 91, mother of Rolling Stone Keith Richards, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Saturday 21 April 2007."Family and friends request that their privacy is respected at this time."Doris separated from Keith's father Bert - who passed away in 2002 aged 84 -in 1962. Before her death she had been living with the rocker's stepfather William in Kent. Doris was responsible for buying her son his first guitar on his 15th birthday, setting him on the path to rock 'n' roll success. Her father, Gus Dupree, toured the UK as a jazz musician and gave grandson Keith his earliest guitar lessons. Earlier this month, Keith caused outrage after claiming he had snorted his dead dad's ashes mixed in with a line of cocaine. He said: "I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared, he didn't give a s**t."The wild musician, who is famed for his drug use, has since retracted the statement insisting he only meant it as a joke.

KIM BASINGER CALLS ON ALEC BALDWIN

Kim Basinger has called for ex-husband Alec Baldwin to address his "unstable and irrational behaviour" to save his relationship with their daughter.The actress - who denies leaking the tape of an answer phone message in which Baldwin calls their 11-year-old daughter Ireland "a rude little pig" -said he must stop "his on going aggressive behaviour" if he wants to share custody. A statement released by Basinger's representative said: "Everybody is always asking why this custody battle has been going on for so many years and now they have the answer."The issue is not about Kim or the alleged alienation that Alec constantly refers to. It is about his on going aggressive behaviour.""Kim did not release the voicemail but the message was not sealed under acourt order."Kim's sincerest wish is for him to finally address his unstable and irrational behaviour so he, at some point, can potentially create a relationship with his daughter. Until then, Kim will continue to protect and safeguard her child's well being as any parent would."Basinger has since hired a security guard to protect Ireland in the wake of the Baldwin's angry message.Meanwhile, Heather Mills - the estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney - has spoken out in Baldwin's defence. Mills said: "It is wrong to speak to your daughter like that, but I am not someone to go, 'Ooh, that is terrible, and we are all perfect, it's all wonderful.'"I would never speak to my daughter like that, but what you have got to remember is that his daughter lives with Kim, and we have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. I respect Kim, I respect Alec for his incredible animal rights campaigning, and we have no idea what's going on."You know when you love somebody and it is your only child, people lose it. Forgive him. Don't throw stones at glass houses. We are not here to judge and criticise what other people do unless you are a saint. And none of us are a saint."

RUSSELL SIMMONS WANTS N WORD BANNED

Music mogul Russell Simmons has called upon the recording and broadcast industries to completely ban "extreme curse words" like "bitch," "ho," and "n--."The Def Jam founder -- who held a Hip-Hop Summit Action Network last week to discuss the sexist and misogynistic lyrics found in some rap music -- believes those in the hip-hop industry need to take immediate action to prevent the "growing public outrage" surrounding the casual use of such offensive words. He says, "We recommend (they're) always out. This is a first step. It's a clear message and a consistency that we want the industry to accept for more corporate social responsibility." Simmons' recommendations come two weeks after radio DJ Don Imus was fired from his CBS Radio job for referring to a team of female basketball players "nappy-headed hos" during a morning broadcast.

Gender bender Marilyn Manson with Dita Von Teese

Marilyn Manson's ex-wife Dita Von Teese has revealed she filed for divorce from the shock rocker when an "inappropriate relationship" with another woman became too much for her to handle. The burlesque dancer refuses to mention any names but Manson's relationship with actress Evan Rachel Wood has been linked to his split from his wife. Von Teese tells Britain's Sunday Telegraph, "I get the impression he thinks I was unsupportive. But the truth is I wasn't supportive of his lifestyle, and someone else came along who was." Von Teese filed for divorce in December, a year after she and Manson, 38, wed in Ireland. She adds, "Everything went downhill after we got married. I started working a lot to escape my home life. "I left with nothing. I knew that there was an inappropriate relationship going on ... and I didn't want any part of it around to remind me. I didn't want that sofa. I didn't want that bed."

Fighting Paris Hilton and Shanna Moakler

Paris Hilton's private contact details have been posted on the internet by rival Shanna Moakler.The 'Dancing with the Stars' contestant - whose husband Travis Barker dated Paris when he briefly split from Shanna last year - put the hotel heiress'personal phone number and email address on her website in a blog entitled"Put This In Your Pipe and Smoke It". She also posted email addresses for Lindsay Lohan. Paris' representative, Elliot Mintz, said: "This woman is simply desperate for press and attention."Shanna deliberately posted Paris's phone number and email address on her website. It was an unprovoked invasion upon Paris's privacy, which immediately caused her to change her contact information. It was a childish, mean-spirited thing to do. And we are not going to dignify such an action with any additional comment."Shanna wrote on her MySpace page last weekend: "I posted this blog back in January to let you all know that my accounts were hacked and since there are two little girls with too much time on their hands and no one to love them I'd like to share my 'hacked' info as well."I've tried to disassociate myself from both these parties for some time now and like a fungus they won't go away."A representative for Lindsay claimed the contact details for the actress were incorrect, saying: "She and Shanna are not friends."On Sunday Shanna removed the blog, but added one which read:"There are numerous reasons why I posted my last blog and I stand behind every single one of them."

PAMELA ANDERSON GOES AFTER KFC

Pamela Anderson has written a heart-felt letter to the Russian partners of KFC, pleading with them to re-think their merger with the "cruel" company. Pammie wrote to Henrik Winther, the president of Rostik, to inform him about the American fast-food giant's barbaric treatment of chickens. She cited how KFC's suppliers breed chickens "to grow so top-heavy that they suffer heart attacks, lung failures, broken legs, and other crippling diseases and injuries. At slaughter, their throats are cut open and they are scalded to death - often while they are still conscious."The former 'Baywatch' star - who is an ardent animal rights activist - also urged Winther to watch her video at www.KentuckyFriedCruelty.com and pressurise KFC executives to put a stop to their cruel methods. In 2005, vegetarian Pammie teamed up with animal rights protestors in a boycott of KFC.The blonde narrated a 5-minute video produced by prominent animal rights group PETA documenting the mistreatment of chickens which eventually are served in the chain's eateries. She said at the time: "I'm asking people to boycott KFC until the company demands that its suppliers stop crippling chickens and scalding them alive."No animals should have to suffer this way, whether they're cats or dogs or chickens."

ROLLING STONES WANT HORSES DRUGGED

The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones have sparked outrage over suggestions 300 horses should be drugged when they play their first Serbian concert.The legendary band are to perform at Belgrade's hippodrome race course in July to a crowd of around 100,000 people. However, fears are mounting for the horses who are stabled just a few yards from the venue and it has been suggested that sedative shots be administered to keep them calm during the raucous show. Jovanka Prelic, who cares for the equine residents, said: "Horses differ,the same as people. Some are more nervous, more skittish. If they get toonervous or start to panic during the concert, they'll get sedatives."The sedative could be diazepam, which was commonly used on horses during the 1999 Nato air strikes. Plans to calm the horses down have sparked fury in Serbia, with animal rights group Orca demanding the concert be moved to another venue. Head of Orca Elvir Burazerovic said: "Research has shown that noise and vibrations are the strongest causes of stress to animals. Surely our big city has enough open spaces where even 150,000 people can fit in. We think the hippodrome should be left to horses."Burazerovic also said if the organisers don't change the venue, the group will write directly to the band to ask them to switch. Burazerovic said: "I believe we will succeed, since such a reputable band will not allow such a stain on its record."

AUCTION AT NEW YORKS HARD ROCK CAFE NETS $2.4 MILLION TO HURRICANE VICTIMS

A fundraising auction of music memorabilia from the likes of Jimi Hendrix, The Edge, Bono and Paul McCartney smashed pre-sale expectations and brought in $2.4 million, a portion of which will go to a charity that replaces musical equipment lost or destroyed by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. "It was the best sale we've ever done," said Darren Julien, president and CEO of Julien's Auctions, which ran the event benefiting Music Rising. The event on Saturday night at the Hard Rock Cafe was so popular, Julien said, that bidding went on for three hours after it had been supposed to stop. Music Rising was co-founded by The Edge, the U2 guitarist who donated his favorite instrument, a 1975 Gibson Les Paul that he has played on for years. Pre-sale estimates put the guitar at $60,000 to $80,000—it sold for $288,000, including the commission. Other highlights included a guitar owned by Jimi Hendrix that went for $480,000; a pair of sunglasses donated by Bono that went for $24,000; a guitar from Bob Dylan that sold for $192,000 and a guitar from Paul McCartney that brought in $81,600. Julien said the entire auction slate, 204 items, was sold. For some items, the total selling price was going to Music Rising, while other items were giving a portion of the proceeds. The final amount going to the charity had not been tallied yet, he said.

RUMOR: MADONNA WANTS TO ADOPT GIRL

Madonna is doing great work with children in Africa

Madonna has met the three-year-old Malawian girl she reportedly wants to adopt.The singer is currently in Malawi with adopted son David and daughter Lourdes and the trio visited the orphanage where the child, called Grace, lives earlier this week. Despite her publicist denying she is to adopt again, Madonna has reportedly told friends she is looking for a sister for David and is considering welcoming Grace into her family. A source said: "Madonna was talking with Grace and looked very happy. They were together for about 15 minutes."The 48-year-old star first saw Grace on DVD footage and fell in love with her immediately. She then asked for a 15-minute film to be made of the little girl, who has no relatives and has been living at the orphanage since she was three months old. However, though she had a successful meeting with Grace, Madonna has not made a final decision on the adoption. She has allegedly met with 10 other children, on the request of the Malawian authorities. A source said: "Grace may not be the child Madonna adopts though she certainly is a favourite. Madonna is considering other children."Madonna's representatives have repeatedly denied the star is in Malawi to adopt again, insisting she is only in the country to do charity work. Publicist Liz Rosenberg said: "Madonna is indeed going to Africa to continue her work with the Raising Malawi organisation. She is overseeing the building of a children's health care center."She is absolutely not adopting another baby. I know that has been a rumor ever since she began the adoption process for her son David but it just isn't true."

WILD BRITNEY SPEARS FATHER SPEAKS

Britney Spears' father believes she has only herself to blame if she loses custody of her sons and fails to revive her career. James Spears has written an open e-mail to her former manager LarryRudolph - who the singer fired last Friday - apologising for her behaviour and thanking him for all he tried to do for the singer. Britney's dad wrote: "When Larry Rudolph talked Britney into going into rehab, he was doing what her mother, father and team of professionals with over 100 years of experience knew needed to be done. She was out of control. Larry was the one chosen by the team to roll up his sleeves and deliver the message, to help save her life."The Spears family would like to publicly apologise to Larry for our daughter's statements about him over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, she blames him and her family for where she is at today with her kids and career. Larry has always been there for Britney. For this, we will forever be grateful to him."Britney has responded by saying her father has never understood her. In a statement released through her representative, she said: "I am praying for my father. We have never had a good relationship. It's sad that all the men that have been in my life do not know how to accept a real woman's love. I am concentrating on my work and my life right now."The 'Toxic' singer was reportedly ashamed she had to go to rehab to protect her public image on Rudolph's advice, when she felt she had no addiction problems. A source told the New York Post newspaper: "She had no drugs in her system when she was admitted to Promises - they ran tests and there was nothing. She was embarrassed she had to go in there when she knew she was suffering from postpartum depression, not a drug or alcohol problem."Britney's aunt had just died of cancer. She was feeling very guilty because she hadn't been there with her, she was over whelmingly depressed and she shaved her head in solidarity."

ALEC BALDWIN ISSUES APOLOGY

Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin in better times !

Alec Baldwin issued an apology for unleashing a volcanic tirade at his 11-year-old daughter and blamed "certain people" for leaking the rant to US media. The Oscar-nominated star of The Departed branded daughter Ireland a "rude, thoughtless, little pig" in a fiery voicemail message that emerged on celebrity websites. It is the latest twist to the bitter legal wrangling between Baldwin and ex-wife Kim Basinger over custody and visitation rights relating to Ireland. The couple split in 2001. Baldwin's tirade was apparently triggered by Ireland's failure to switch her mobile phone on for a scheduled call with her father. "Once again I've made an ass out of myself trying to get to a phone at a specific time," Baldwin says in the message. "I'm tired of playing this game with you. You have insulted me for the last time. "You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being - I don't give a damn that you are 12 or 11 or a child or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care what you do." Baldwin then tells his daughter that he is going to fly to Los Angeles to "straighten" her out. In a statement on his website, alecbaldwin.com, posted today, the actor said he had apologised to his daughter for his actions, suggesting that the stress of legal battles with Basinger had tipped him over the edge. "Naturally, it is not best for a parent to lose their temper with their child," Baldwin said. "Everyone who knows me privately knows that I have endured a great deal over the last several years in my custody litigation. "Everyone who knows me privately knows that certain people will go to any lengths to embarrass me and to disrupt my relationship with my daughter. "I'm sorry, as everyone who knows me is aware, for losing my temper with my child. I have been driven to the edge by parental alienation for many years now." Baldwin's spokesman said in an earlier statement that "in the best interest of the child" the actor would "do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing - keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order." The statement said Basinger and her lawyer leaked the tape in violation of a court order, and that Baldwin regretted the choice of language used. Basinger's lawyers hit back at the spokesman's explanation today. In a statement to TMZ.com, celebrity lawyer Neal Hersh said the actor's response showed he was "out of touch". "I am concerned that Mr Baldwin's recent statement, wherein he attempts to shift responsibility to Kim and her lawyers for his issues with Ireland, shows just how out of touch he is with the reality and gravity of the situation," Hersh told the website. Baldwin and Basinger, the star of LA Confidential, split in 2001 but have been locked in bitter legal wrangling related to Ireland's custody and visitation rights. Basinger was charged with contempt of court last year for violating a 2004 custody arrangement. A Los Angeles court rejected a bid by Basinger's lawyers to have the charges dismissed this week.

RICH LITTLE TO PLAY CORRESPONDENTS

Icon Rich Little will play the Correspondents dinner

Comedian Rich Little says he doesn't plan anything provocative when he performs at this year's White House Correspondents Association dinner in Washington. The veteran impressionist is the headliner at tonight's annual affair, and his routine promises to be considerably tamer than the harder-edged comedy delivered last year by Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert -- who directed some hard-hitting barbs at President George W. Bush and others in the audience. Little told United Press International if he does anything edgy in his performance Saturday night, it won't be by design. "I'm an entertainer. I'm not there to stir it up in any way," he said. "If I happen to, by chance, that's fine." Little has played this gig before -- during the Reagan administration. He said performing for the White House press corps can be challenging. "They're not the easiest audience to perform for because they're professional people and they're wrapped up in their careers and politics so they don't sit home watching TV all the time," he said. On the other hand he said, because they're journalists they know the characters he does better than most audiences.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Victoria gets on really well with Gordon so when he asked if she wouldn't mind looking after the lambs on her 25-acre grounds she agreed. He said they needed space to gambol around in. She met them when they were delivered and thinks they're adorable."What Gordon neglected to mention, though, was that he was planning to have them killed."There was no way she'd have agreed to it had she known and she's less than impressed with the news."Gordon has come under fire for his treatment of animals on his show in past, after featuring the journey of turkeys and pigs from the farmyard to the dinner table.

JOE PESCI TERRIFIES HIS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR ROBBIE WILLIAMS

Singer Robbie Williams terrified !

Robbie Williams was left terrified after his neighbor Joe Pesci threatened him with a golf club during a furious bust-up.The 64-year-old actor saw red when Robbie invited his friends over to his Los Angeles home for a game of soccer and they blocked Pesci's driveway with their cars. Pesci stormed out brandishing a club, ranting: "Which one of you mother f***ers blocked my drive?" If you don't move in 30 seconds, I'm going to smash your windscreen."Robbie - who has a soccer pitch at his home and holds weekly matches -initially thought his Oscar-winning neighbor was joking, but quickly realised the star was serious and ordered his friends to move their vehicles. A pal of the 'Rudebox' singer compared the row to a scene from 'Goodfellas', in which Pesci played psychotic gangster Tommy DeVito.The friend told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was pretty terrifying in 'Goodfellas' when Pesci's character flew off the handle. Imagine seeing it in real life. Robbie has never had any sort of dispute with his neighbors before and has now given his friends strict instructions to steerclear of Pesci's driveway."One of the things he really likes about Los Angeles is the anonymity - big showdowns are the last thing he wants."

Britney Spears with Larry Randolph

Britney Spears reportedly fired her manager on Friday .The 'Toxic' singer - who only rehired Larry Rudolph after filing for divorce from Kevin Federline in November - allegedly blames him for her recent career mistakes and blunders, according to the New York Post newspaper. The 25-year-old mother-of-two is said to have been suffering from postpartum depression and her heavy partying sparked a mini-breakdown - culminating in her shaving her head before agreeing to enter rehab. It was Rudolph who allegedly introduced Britney to socialite Paris Hilton and encouraged them to party together. Britney could face legal repercussions if she has fired Rudolph as she reportedly signed a lengthy deal with him after rehiring him to help with her pop comeback. Britney recently rehired PR guru Leslie Sloane Zelnik - who also represents Lindsay Lohan - to help restore her battered image.The 'Toxic' singer has been busy working on her comeback album since leaving Malibu's Promises centre last month.

KIRSTEN DUNST : SPIDERMAN 4 WILL BE A FLOP WITHOUT HER !

Tobey Maguire as Spiderman

Kirsten Dunst believes 'Spiderman 4' will be a flop if she and Tobey Maguire don't star in it.The actress - who plays Mary Jane Watson, the love interest of the superhero's alter-ego Peter Parker, in the hit movie series - insists any attempt to continue the franchise without her, Tobey - who plays the web-slinger - and director Sam Raimi would be a box-office disaster. She told Entertainment Weekly: "Audiences aren't stupid. It'd be a big flop without me, Tobey or Sam."Dunst is doubtful Sony Pictures would want to make a fourth movie if Raimi wasn't at the helm.She added: "That would really not be the smartest move. But they already know that." Dunst and Maguire have both distanced themselves from a fourth movie, with the pair admitting they would like to pursue other roles. Maguire said: "I feel like this film is kind of a natural conclusion to alot of stuff that's happened in the first two movies. It kind of feels likea natural trilogy. I'm not going to make more just because they've been successful."Raimi is rumored to be in the running to direct the film version of J.R.R.Tolkien's classic novel 'The Hobbit', which is a prequel to the 'Lord of the Rings' books. He is said to be first choice if New Zealand filmmaker Peter Jackson, who directed the Oscar-winning 'Lord of the Rings' films, turns the project down. Meanwhile, 'Spiderman 3' had its world premiere in Tokyo yesterday the other day. Maguire took his jewellery maker fiancée Jennifer Meyer and their baby daughter Ruby along to the glitzy event because he can't bear to be apartfrom them.The actor - who braved the rain to walk down the red carpet with his co-star Dunst - said: "I love being a dad. I didn't want to be away from them and Ididn't want my fiancée Jen to miss this. It's a pretty eventful moment and Iwanted to be with them. I haven't been away for a night yet."After several premieres across the globe 'Spiderman 3' opens worldwide on May 4.

He would love to oversee her career -- he kind of does anyway."But the insider warns that Sony will not let Knowles go without a fight, adding, "Sony has had a bad year -- all the hit acts, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and the 'American Idol' kids, are all on BMG. "They can't afford to lose Beyonce. They'll probably mortgage the farm to keep her. Which means a lot more money for Beyonce -- and Jay-Z if they get married."

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND MARK ANTHONY FILE LAWSUITS AGAINST NATIONAL ENQUIRER

Jennifer Lynn Lopez, one of the richest Hispanic's in Hollywood according to Forbes magazine, and her husband Marc Anthony are suing the National Enquirer seeking "substantial damages" for a story which alleged the couple were linked to a drug scandal.They hired a Belfast-based lawyer Paul Tweed, a special lible lawyer, who told Reuters he had filed a lawsuit with the Belfast High Court on Tuesday, announcing they "will now make similar applications in Dublin, London and other jurisdictions." Paul Tweed said the Enquirer story was "totally unfounded.""It's virtually impossible to sue for libel in the United States because of First Amendment protections," Tweed explained to the Reuters news agency. "But these publications are now appearing in Ireland, the UK and France, and on the internet, and they're now subject to the libel laws of these jurisdictions." The article at question was published last month under the headline: "Jennifer and Marc Caught Up In Heroin Scandal". The March 12 article also reprinted a 2004 picture of Anthony standing beside photographer Michael Star, who is facing charges of heroin possession and child pornography in the U.S. Tweed told AP that actress-singer Lopez, 38, and singer Anthony, 37, were seeking "a six-figure settlement" from the Enquirer, based in Boca Raton, Fla., and its parent company, American Media Inc. A spokesman for AMI, Richie Valvo, said the company had no comment. "It would be our policy to not comment on it at this time, Valvo said. Lopez and Anthony married in a quiet home wedding on June 5, 2004, where guests had reportedly been invited to an "afternoon party" at Lopez's house and were not aware that they were actually going to the couple's wedding.

MADONNA'S VISIT TO ORPHANAGE CAUSES UPROAR AS REPORTERS GET STONED

Madonna in Malawi

Witnesses in Malawi say orphans threw stones at journalists who tried to follow American pop star Madonna into their orphanage Tuesday. Reports from the Malawian village of Mchinji say the orphans and police had formed a protective ring around the building ahead of Madonna's arrival. There were no reports of injuries from the incident. The disturbance apparently subsided after Madonna made a brief statement to the reporters. The pop star was visiting the orphanage with one-year-old David Banda, the Malawian boy she hopes to adopt. Madonna was expected to meet the boy's biological father during her visit to Malawi, but it is not clear whether that has occurred. Madonna caused controversy when she took the boy home to London after a trip to Malawi last year. Local groups have accused the superstar of using her celebrity status to bypass laws about foreigners adopting children from Malawi. Madonna was eventually granted interim custody of the boy, subject to monitoring by human rights groups.
A spokeswoman for Madonna has denied rumors the singer plans to adopt another child while in Malawi.

MARILYN MANSON FINDS HIS SOULMATE !

Goth Rocker Gender Bender Marilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson says new love Evan Rachel Wood (left) is his soulmate.The goth rocker, who split with wife Dita Von Teese late last year, says the young actress is his perfect partner.The 38-year-old told France's Le Parisien newspaper: "I've found my double, my twin, with my new girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood."She's 19 and certainly that's very young, but that's not a problem for me. She likes the same things as me. She understands I like to get up when night falls and go to sleep at dawn."Manson, who is promoting his sixth album 'Eat Me, Drink Me', says his difficult break-up was his inspiration for the record. He explained: "Our relationship ended at Halloween. I was completely destroyed psychologically. I'd rented a house and begun working on this disc, which sort of tells everything that happened to me during the past year."Manson says the marriage failed because he didn't want to settle down and become "more adult". He explained: "I was married to someone who wanted me to change. Become more adult, more responsible. I began not to like myself, not like what I do. I lost my identity. Everything began collapsing around me. The record allowed me to put an end to that. Dita left at Christmas while I was recording."Manson - real name Brian Warner - and burlesque star Dita began dating in 2001, before marrying in December 2005. It has been reported the rocker's relationship with Evan was a factor in Dita's decision to file for divorce last December. Manson met Evan after casting her in his new horror movie 'Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll'.

DJ Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan is rumored to be having a lesbian affair. The 'Mean Girls' star - who is currently in Japan for a fashion shoot - is said to be more than just friends with DJ Samantha Ronson, who has accompanied her on her trip. Former publicist Jonathan Jaxson wrote in his blog at jonathanjaxson.blogspot.com: "Lindsay actually has always been quite open. Maybe she was tired of the boys and that is why she decided to spice it up with BFF (best friend forever) Samantha Ronson. "Now I would have no bad things to say about either if Samantha wasn't deeply involved in alcohol and drugs. Not the best influence for a rehabbed Lindsay Lohan." Jaxson claims Lindsay and Samantha's fledgling same-sex romance has been confirmed by his sources. Lindsay, 20, arrives in London next month to begin shooting 'The Best Time of Our Lives' - a biopic about the love life of poet Dylan Thomas - alongside Keira Knightley.

GILLIAN ANDERSON FORCED INTO X-FILES

Gillian Anderson claims she was forced to appear in 'The X-Files' against her will. The flame-haired actress claims she didn't enjoying starring in the show that catapulted her to fame and only stayed on the series for nine years because she had to. Gillian - who played Special Agent Scully in the show - told Stella magazine: "I couldn't get out of it. I didn't have a choice. I had to sign a contract for five-and-a-half-years before I even went to my first audition - when I didn't know if I'd got the part. Back then I was all innocent and I thought, 'Wow that sounds wonderful.' "But then, when I started, I realised I'd be in a Canadian wood working 16 hours a day for nine months a year. And the reason I stayed so long was because the only way I could get more money was to commit myself to doing it for another couple of years." Gillian, 38, admits she found her sudden fame very "traumatic" and difficult to cope with. She added: "When I started on 'The X Files' I had no idea what it would involve. When fans used to ask, as they always did, 'Do you believe in aliens?' I literally had no idea what to say. I used to go, 'Um. could you repeat the question?' I found the whole process incredibly traumatic."

NO BID'S FOR ANNA NICOLE SMITH DIARIES

The Anna Nicole Smith story

Anna Nicole Smiths death may have sold lots of newspapers and magazines, and are what movies are made of, but her personal diaries refused to sell at auction. Her two personal diaries that most would think were worth big bucks, in Texas on Saturday. The journals, written in the early ’90s, initially had at least two bidders before Smith’s former partner, Howard K. Stern claimed they were stolen and should be returned to her estate. "Make no mistake: these items were stolen from Ms. Smith by one or more thieves," attorney, L. Lin Wood, wrote in a letter to Doug Norwine, the director of music and entertainment memorabilia at Heritage Auction Galleries of Dallas on Wednesday, TMZ.com reported. "Ms. Smith's Estate intends to vigorously pursue the return of the diaries, will take whatever means necessary to secure their return, and will hold to account those persons and entities that have profited through their reprehensible acts at the expense of the Estate." "On behalf of the estate, Mr. Stern hereby requests that the diaries be returned to him immediately," the letter added. TMZ also reported that the man claiming to be original owner of the diaries, denied Wood’s claims, saying that "the facts he mentions in the letter are FALSE -- these diaries are NOT stolen, (They were obtained BEFORE her death) -- he is just trying to steal more money in the name of Anna Nicole." The auction house said yesterday the journals, which contain entries about Smith’s weight problems and issues regarding her personal life, are now available for a minimum bid of $25,000 each. “We have a buy-it-now situation,” said Norwine but added the bidders just “got cold feet” following Stern’s public claim. The auction house reportedly got the journals among other items from an anonymous German businessman who purchased the items on eBay for more than $500,000 several weeks ago. The German businessman decided to auction the diaries after securing the publishing rights, Norwine said. The two personal diaries were supposedly written between 1992 and 1994 and provide details regarding Smith’s feelings for her late husband, oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. Along with the journals, the auction house also obtained a $16,954.66 receipt from a Bloomingdale's shopping spree in 1992, a signed bank check from Smith and her 1994 Texas photo ID card. "In the absence of a judge stopping this auction, this auction will go forward," Norwine was quoted by CBS as saying. "After the auction we'll determine what happens. We will continue to take the high road.”

Question : If Larry Birkhead is the father and in charge of the estate, how can Howard K. Stern demand them back ?

While many may consider him vocally challenged, there is no doubt that Sanjaya Malakar is becoming the biggest obsession of Americans that is making its way into national political debate. While presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is asked if she would vote for the 'American Idol' wannabe, one of the leading newspapers, the Los Angeles Times, ponders in an editorial 'What's Saving Sanjaya?'During a radio call-in on Wokq-FM, the New York Senator was asked what the United States can do about Sanjaya, the television show's underdog who has confounded his critics by surviving deep into the voting on this season's program."That's the best question I've been asked in a long time," Clinton said. "Well, you know, people can vote for whomever they want. That's true in my election, and it's true on American Idol". Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined the national bandwagon when she appeared on NBC's 'Tonight Show' with Jay Leno, where she apologised for being late. She'd had to cast a critical vote, she explained to the late-night talk-show host. Leno said he understood democracy takes precedence, but Pelosi said it wasn't that - she had to cast a vote for 'American Idol' contestant Sanjaya Malakar.Everyone seems to have a theory about what's behind this season's Sanjaya surprise. Some say it is the teenyboppers who are in love with Sanjaya's flowing locks, while others blame shock Jock Howard Stern and other such people who are promoting Sanjaya to wreck the credibility of the program, which is watched by some 30 million people. Another conspiracy theory making round is that Indians working in call centers are flooding the phone lines in support of the 17-year-old Indian-American.The Los Angeles Times explains that Sanjaya is the lightning rod of this year's show, may be because "he's such a good sport"."Although all idol contestants must suffer public judgment with a smile, Malakar's grin seems to be that of an ingenuous, bewildered kid instead of a well-coached contestant. His flamboyance such as that surprise Trojan-helmet-like 'ponyhawk' hairstyle is tempered by a timidity rarely seen on national TV," the paper said in the editorial."Malakar may win nothing more than a hair-product endorsement. But he will have shown that even in a genre dependent on egomaniacs who display highly scripted humility, a plain old good sport can survive for a while".Whatever be the reason, the controversy is proving to be good for the TV reality show. As one TV network put it "whatever effects these things have, if any, Sanjaya is now officially the most interesting thing about 'American Idol'. He is not the best singer, the best dancer, or the most engaging personality. But Sanjaya has in some ways begun to embrace those things that people ridicule, and that makes him far more remarkable than the assortment of cardboard cutouts alongside him".

TOBEY MAGUIRE'S VIEW ON THE PAPARAZZI

Tobey Maguire has blasted attention-seeking celebrities.The 'Spiderman' star has no sympathy for stars that seek the limelight and then complain about being hounded by paparazzi. He told Cosmopolitan magazine: "I look at people in gossip magazines and I can't imagine what it's like. It seems some of them bring it on themselves - it fuels them. I've always avoided things that would put me out there."Tobey, 31, admits he was blown away by the excitement surrounding the first 'Spider-Man' film, but has since managed to retain a level of privacy.The actor loves spending time with fiancée Jennifer Meyer and their five-month-old daughter Ruby. He said: "I love being a dad. I love holding my little girl and going off to work and not wanting to let her go. Now I've got two girls- I love it - it's the best!"But despite his description of domestic bliss, Tobey is in such demand in Hollywood that he can't find the time to set a date for the couple's wedding.

JADA PINKETT SMITH ON GREAT MARRAGE

One great family 'The Smiths'

Jada Pinkett-Smith would quit acting if it ever jeopardised her marriage.The 'Reign Over Me' star and husband Will Smith are both successful actors, but she values her family above her career. Jada, 35, told Britain's Independent newspaper: "I'm very aware how busy careers can quickly lead to divorce, but I'm not going to let that happen to us. I will throw my career away before I let it break up our marriage. I made it clear to Will. I'd throw it away completely, which is what I'm doing to a certain extent."In her latest film, Jada plays a wife trapped in an unhappy marriage. She claims the role taught her how to make her own marriage stronger. Jada said: "For me, these were experiences that were relatable, but the most interesting aspect of the relationship between this particular couple is that you see all the time how the smallest little germs can get inside of a relationship, things that aren't really tangible, but can create such a huge deterioration within a marriage."And you see this all the time - these are the things that you always have to be careful of."Even though you have this union as husband and wife, you can never forget who you are, just simply as yourself. If you lose yourself then everything else will fall out. There is no relationship to be had if you don't have a relationship with yourself first."

LARRY BIRKHEAD AND VIRGIE ARTHUR TRYING TO COME TO A AGREEMENT

'Rich' Larry Birkhead !

A hearing in a Bahamas court on Friday failed to end a prolonged battle over custody of late Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, 7-month-old Dannielynn. Larry Birkhead a Los Angeles photographer and former boyfriend of the billionaire's widow, was identified on Tuesday as the father of the baby, who could one day be worth a fortune if Smith's estate wins a decade-long battle to inherit from her former oil tycoon husband J. Howard Marshall. Friday's hearing over custody of Dannielynn, at which Birkhead had been widely expected to be awarded guardianship based on court-ordered DNA tests, adjourned soon after it got under way. Damien Gomez, an attorney for Smith's long-time companion Howard K. Stern, said the hearing was suspended at the request of lawyers for both Birkhead and Smith's mother Virgie Arthur. Gomez did not elaborate. But John O'Quinn, Arthur's lawyer, told reporters Birkhead and his client had agreed to meet privately on Saturday in an apparent bid to reach an agreement over custody of the child. Without any lawyers present, O'Quinn said the father and grandmother of Dannielynn would try "to figure out what they believe is in the best interest of this child and try to get it done." Whatever plan they come up with would then be submitted for court approval, O'Quinn said.

LEGEND SINGER DON HO DIES AT 76

The king of Hawaii Don Ho

Legendary crooner Don Ho, known for his raspberry-tinted sunglasses and catchy signature tune "Tiny Bubbles," has died, his publicist said. He was 76.
Publicist Donna Jung said the singer died Saturday morning of heart failure. He had suffered with heart problems for the past several years, and had a pacemaker installed last fall. In 2005, he underwent an experimental stem cell procedure on his ailing heart in Thailand in 2005. Ho entertained Hollywood's biggest stars and thousands of tourists for four decades. For many, no trip to Hawaii was complete without seeing his Waikiki show — a mix of songs, jokes, double entendres, Hawaii history and audience participation. Shows usually started and ended with the same song, "Tiny Bubbles," which Ho mostly hummed as the audience enthusiastically took over. "I hate that song," he often joked to the crowd, adding that he saved it for the end because "people my age can't remember if we did it or not." Donald Tai Loy Ho, who is Hawaiian, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch and German, was born Aug. 13, 1930, in Honolulu and grew up in the then-rural countryside of Kaneohe.

HALEY SCARNATO THROWN OFF WHILE SANJAYA MALAKAR CONTINUES TO ROCK !

Haley Scarnato leaves American Idol

This year’s “American Idol” gets closer to an end, but another contestant, Haley Scarnato, got voted off the show while Sanjaya Malakar continues to rock and roll into the hearts of America. Failing to impress the judges with her performance of disco classic “Turn the Beat Around,” the 24-year-old from San Antonio left the show saying "My life changed and it truly was a blessing and I'm very thankful." She vows to continue her career is is very happy with the chance she was given on American Idol. "The bad comments are hard, but it helps to know there are people out there who like me and support me," Scarnato added. "I'm hoping for anything to come my way. This has been a great experience with great exposure and I'm up for anything. I would love to get a record deal, it would be a dream come true," she said. In this performance, it wasn’t just the singing that was criticized by the jury, Scarnato’s outfits, which include sexy low-cut tops to short-shorts, were picked on as well. Simon Cowell implied Scarnato tried to take advantage of her looks to stay in the competition. (even know Sanjaya looks better) "I think you have a very good tactic at the moment, Haley: Wear the least amount of clothes as possible," Cowell said of her performance. Scarnato reportedly didn't speak to Cowell following her exit on Wednesday night. "I didn't go shorter. I didn't wear less clothes," Scarnato said. "... I never changed my look from Hollywood week [when] I showed my midriff a bit." She claimed in an interview she was trying to stay true to her roots: "I just tried to do the best I could do, and that was that," she said. "It hurts of course; its just legs. It's frustrating because I'm trying to perform and it was a singing competition and I thought they weren't listening to me anymore. You can't please everybody," she said in a press conference the day after her elimination. She also defended her choice to wear her skimpy outfits. "It's fun dressing up and playing the part of the theme week, and the song you are singing. With Latin week it's more of a sexier vibe," says Scarnato. "I don't think I wore less clothes than before. I think I stayed true to who I am." Post performance, Cowell commented: "You naughty little thing." Scarnato quipped she would have tried a new look on the show's upcoming country-music night. "If I was going to be here next week, I was going to wear a choir robe," Scarnato said. However, let’s not forget about Sanjaya Malakar, this season’s man of mystery who successfully managed to escape elimination, moreover, he wasn’t even voted among the bottom three. According to TMZ.com, former Idol contestant, Paris Bennett said she hopes Sanjaya will win, calling the contest a joke. "We want to see Sanjaya win because it'll kind of prove that 'American Idol' is kind of losing its taste," says Bennett, "it kinda isn't going for talent anymore and more for popularity."

WITCH HUNT FOR 'GIRLS GONE WILD' FOUNDER JOE FRANCIS AS CHARGES KEEP PILING UP !

The multimillionaire founder of the racy "Girls Gone Wild" video series was indicted on tax evasion charges on Wednesday -- a day after being arrested and jailed in Florida for contempt of court. Joe Francis, 34, was indicted by a grand jury in Reno, Nevada, on charges of deducting more than $20 million in false business expenses on the 2002 and 2003 corporate income tax returns of his California-based Mantra Films Inc. and Nevada-based Sands Media Inc. Francis, who has built a $100 million business from selling videos of young women exposing their breasts, faces up to 10 years in prison and $500,000 in fines if convicted, the Department of Justice said. The indictment was returned a day after Francis was taken into custody in Panama City, Florida, for contempt of court over an outburst during negotiations on a civil lawsuit brought by seven women who said they were underage when they were filmed by his company in 2003.Francis' arrest and his indictment on tax evasion charges were the latest legal moves against the man whose videos depict drunk young women getting naked and sometimes performing sex acts on each other during spring break parties. In January, Francis was fined $500,000 in Los Angeles and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service for including footage of two 17-year-old girls engaging in explicit sex acts in a 2002 video. Mantra produces about 80 "Girls Gone Wild" DVDs a year and is expanding to the United Kingdom, Australia and France. Francis last month announced he was planning a restaurant chain and a line of swimwear and casual wear under the name. Meanwhile Francis was also charged Thursday with bribing a jail guard for a bottle of water and having prescription sleeping pills in his cell, authorities said. When he learned of the new charges, Joe Francis waived his right to a bond hearing for the contempt of court charge that had led to his being jailed. Francis cried as his mother blew him a kiss while he was led from a federal court room back to his cell. "I didn't do anything," he told his parents as he was led away, The News Herald of Panama City reported. Francis, 34, was charged with bribing a public servant, three counts of possessing a controlled substance and five counts of introducing contraband - cash and drugs - into a detention facility. The charges are third-degree felonies punishable by up to five years in prison. Francis offered a jail guard $100 for a bottled water Wednesday evening, court records said. When the guard refused, Francis showed him $500, investigators said. Inmates are not allowed to have cash in the jail. When supervisors searched Francis' cell, they found 16 prescription pills, including the sleeping medication Lunesta and the anti-anxiety pill lorazepam, according to court records.
They are really going after this poor guy. It's not right !
