Jamie Lynn’s baby-daddy a ‘lying, cheating dog’

lunes, 31 de diciembre de 2007 |

As if teenage pregnancy and train-wreck big sis Britney weren’t troubles enough, Jamie Lynn Spears can now add a cheating baby-daddy to her list of woes. According to National Enquirer sources, Casey Aldridge strayed from his young love a number of times, even dating another woman days before the 16-year-old “Zoey 101” star told the world she’s expecting.

“I think Casey is a serial cheater who has lied to Jamie Lynn and betrayed her time and time again,” a close friend confessed. “Even though I’m sure she knows in her heart that Casey’s a lying, cheating dog, Jamie Lynn is head over heels in love with him. She continues to take him back regardless of how awful he treats her.”

Just how awful is that? “This past spring Casey was forced to tell Jamie Lynn that he’d cheated on her and gotten that girl pregnant,” the same pal told the Enquirer. “Jamie Lynn was devastated. She swore Casey out of her life forever.”

Two weeks before the unnamed other woman miscarried, Jamie Lynn was said to be back in Casey’s arms with a promise that it would never happen again.

“In fact, only a few months before getting that girl pregnant, Casey had cheated on Jamie Lynn by dating another girl, Whitney Seals of Magnolia, Miss.,” a source revealed. That’s the same woman Casey’s been seen “sneaking around” with lately.

“Whitney and Casey have been dating for months,” Whitney’s brother Kevin Seals confirmed. “I know Jamie Lynn was really upset and jealous when she found out about it.”

Meet Shilpa Shetty's new man

|

The cat is finally out of the bag.

After denying the relationship for almost six months, Shilpa Shetty has admitted that she is dating London-based businessman, Raj Kundra.

In a statement from her publicist, Dale Bhagwagar, Shilpa said, "I'm not denying it's him (Raj) but I hope when this comes out, it doesn't frighten him off!"

Raj, a leading businessman in Britain, is also responsible for the launch of Shilpa's perfume S2, and her new DVD on yoga.

He is also responsible for her Broadway show, Miss Bollywood.

Raj is also a film producer, and recently presented the Jimmy Shergill-Kay Kay Menon film, Strangers.

Interestingly, Raj had issued an apology to Shilpa and her parents six months ago, saying that they were not an item, and all media reports were baseless. His statement came after his wife Kavita stated that reason for their breakup was Shilpa Shetty.

Denying Kavita's allegation, Raj had said his wife's accusations that Shilpa was the reason their marriage breakup was untrue. 'I had no association with Shilpa at the time of our separation,' he added.

So is Shilpa planning to settle down in matrimony? "It's too early to speculate marriage," Dale says. "All I can say is that Shilpa is dating Raj. She's just started to know him better. So let's give her some time and not jump to conclusions."

Meanwhile, the actress is on a shopping spree in Las Vegas, and plans to spend New Year's Eve with her family.

The 'Harry Potter' actor has signed up to appear in 'Journey', in which he will portray tragic photographer Dan Eldon, who was stoned to death during the devastating civil war in Somalia, East Africa, in 1993.

Radcliffe fought off stiff competition from other Hollywood stars including Heath Ledger, Joaquin Phoenix, Ryan Phillippe and Orlando Bloom to land the role, after Eldon's family decided he would be perfect for the part.

The late photographer's mother Kathy said: "We resisted a lot of older actors because Dan was a boy emerging into manhood. The timing is right and the person is right and I couldn't ask for more.

"He has portrayed a magician for years and my Dan was a different kind of magician. There are parallels in the two Dans' lives.

"Daniel Radcliffe is a poet, he keeps journals and he is half Jewish. He has a sense of humour and energy inside him which reminds me of Dan."

Eldon was just 22 when he was murdered in the Somalian capital of Mogadishu. The film will be based on his diaries 'The Journey is the Destination', which were published in 1997.

Billie Piper marries actor Laurence Fox

|

Actress Billie Piper has tied the knot with fellow actor Laurence Fox in a Monday afternoon ceremony in a West Sussex village.

The 25-year old former Dr Who assistant and her new husband emerged from the Parish Church of St Mary's in Eastbourne after a 50-minute New Year's Eve ceremony.

Piper's ex-husband, radio presenter Chris Evans, and his new wife Natasha Shishmanian were among the wedding guests, as was Dr Who actor David Tennant.

It is believed that the wedding reception is being held at one of Evans's pubs.

At the age of 15, Piper became Britain's youngest female singer to have a number one single with 'Because we want to' in 1998.

She has since turned to acting and following a successful stint on Dr Who, Piper recently took up the role of Belle de Jour in the ITV2 series Secret Diary Of A Call Girl.

Fox, not quite as famous as his new wife, is best known for playing Kevin Whately's Lewis in the spin-off from Inspector Morse.

Rowling says she's considered another Potter novel

domingo, 30 de diciembre de 2007 |

Author J.K. Rowling says she has considered writing another Harry Potter novel, although fans may have to wait another 10 years.

The bestselling author of the teen wizard series has hinted in an interview with Time magazine that she has had "weak moments" in which she's thought of writing an eighth book.

"If — and it's a big if — I ever write an eighth book, I doubt that Harry would be the central character. I feel I've already told his story," she said.

"But these are big ifs. Let's give it 10 years."

The seventh instalment of the wizard-in-training books — Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — came out in July. It instantly became the fastest-selling book of all time, with more than 15 million copies purchased within 24 hours.

Rowling's six previous Harry Potter books sold more than 325 million worldwide.

Rowling, who Time positioned at No. 3 in its Person of the Year list, is thought to be working on an adult novel.

The 41-year-old writer hit the headlines in October after revealing that one of Harry Potter's main characters, Albus Dumbledore, is gay.

She told an audience of fans in New York City that as a young man, Dumbledore had fallen in love with Gellert Grindelwald, who later became a rival.

Rowling said her novels are really a "prolonged argument for tolerance."

The film version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth book in the series, is due for release late next year.

Leon Jackson treats mum to a Mini

|

It has only been two weeks since his win but Leon Jackson is already splashing his new-found cash.

The 18-year-old, who crooned his way to the title of X Factor champion this year, bought his mum Wendy a rather special Christmas present - a new car.

According to the Mirror, Leon purchased a Mini Cooper and hid it close to the family's West Lothian home, before covering it in bows and surprising her with it.

A friend told the newspaper that the singer even placed the key in a jewellery box for him to give to Wendy.

"When she saw the Mini covered in bows she burst out crying," he added.

"She has always wanted one. It was a dream come true."

Dreams coming true might be a regular thing in the Jackson household lately, as the teenager scored a Christmas number one single with his version of When You Believe.

The track was originally sung by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston for the animated feature film The Prince of Egypt.

It was also covered by X Factor runner-up Rhydian Roberts - but Leon's winning of the competition meant his version was released.

Teen star Miley Cyrus is upset that seemingly racy pictures of her and a friend have been leaked online and caused a stir. “There was nothing wrong with it. It’s two girls at a sleepover,” Cyrus tried to explain during a radio interview.

For anyone who thinks there’s something scandalous going on in the photos circulating online of Miley Cyrus frolicking with a friend on a hotel floor, the “Hannah Montana” star has a message for you — get over it.

“They’re nothing bad!” the 15-year-old teen sensation told New York’s Z100 radio station on Friday night.

The candid photos, which have been making the rounds online, show Cyrus sitting on the floor of a hotel with one of her friends getting close, goofing around and sharing a piece of candy.

But Cyrus maintains the snapshots are completely innocent.

“There was nothing wrong with it. It’s two girls at a sleepover. And if all of a sudden that’s bad, then what is the world coming to?” a frustrated Cyrus told Z100’s Niko prior to her sold-out concert at Nassau Coliseum on Friday night.

And while the young pop star might be used to all the attention, what really upsets her is that now her friend in the photo has to deal with the unwanted attention as well.

“Honestly, I just try to keep my cool. At first, I was really upset. It really sucks to be honest. It was a friend of mine that’s a normal girl and — look at me getting all upset — the worst part is she has to go to school and deal with that crap,” Cyrus continued. “I have to deal with that anyways. I deal with it all the time.”

The British pap who is alleged to have bedded Britney Spears has wasted no time in speaking about his bizarre encounter with the singer.

Adnan Ghalib spoke exclusively to US news show 20/20 about his experience just days after Brit took him back to her hotel, in what has to be one of her strangest acts yet.

And he has now become one of her fiercest supporters.

Speaking on US TV Adnan said:"She is the way she is because of the people she surrounds herself with. On a single level, I think she's awesome."

Makes you wonder what she did to him in that hotel room...

The lucky snapper was picked out by Britney from a group of around 40 photographers as they followed her on her one of her nightly rounds in LA.

A source explained: “Adnan and Britney met in Malibu about 10.30pm

“She got into his car and chatted to him for a while.

“Then she went home and got changed into her pink wig and a leopard print mini-dress.

“She met up with Adnan at the Peninsula and they checked into a room together.

“He came out at 4am to buy cigarettes. When someone asked what was happening between him and Britney, he said: ‘It’s hard to make babies when you’re just having lunch.’ ”

Britney is then believed to have left the hotel room at 9am with Adnan following at 10:25am yesterday morning.

Jamie Lynn Spears' mother, Lynne, cashed in on her teenage daughter's pregnancy, selling the exclusive story to OK! magazine for $1 million.

Not only did OK! get the story on Jamie Spears pregnancy, but they have an option on snapping the first pictures of the 16-year-old's baby when it's born.

Jamie Spears, the younger sister of Britney Spears, became pregnant from an affair with 18-year-old boyfriend, Casey Aldridge, who has dropped out of the publicity scene surrounding Jamie's pregnancy, but her mother saw dollars from day one and swooped in for the kill, or I should say buck.

Lynne Spears gets a cut of everything her teenage daughter earns, which is a pretty good paycheck for the star of Nickelodeon's Zoey 101, which ends its third season next week. Apparently Jamie's father, who works as a chef, is furious with his ex-wife for taking advantage of their daughter's situation. Some tabloids have painted her dad into a corner saying his displeasure is not with Lynne Spears but the fact that he's not getting a cut of the income - which is totally the opposite, Jamie Spears is mad because his teenage daughter is pregnant and thinks it awful that her mother would profit by it.

Jamie's sister Britney isn't happy with mommy dearest either. Apparently, the news of Jamie's pregnancy was kept secret due to the terms of the OK! magazine deal so the Hollywood gossip rag would be able to break the news first! Now I see where Britney gets her frustration from. Perhaps she's not as loony as one would think but was driven to the edge, or exploited at an early age, by her mother and now she's watching the same thing happen to Jamie.

Leyritz Arrested

|

Former Yankees World Series hero Jim Leyritz was arrested Friday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on charges of driving under the influence and killing a driver after his car crashed into hers.

Leyritz was charged with DUI manslaughter and DUI property damage, said Det. Kathy Collins of the Fort Lauderdale police. He posted the $11,000 bond and was released from Broward County jail.

Police believe alcohol was involved in the crash, and investigators are awaiting results of blood alcohol tests, Collins said.

Leyritz hit a three-run homer off the Braves' Mark Wohlers in Game 4 of the 1996 World Series that tied the score at 6 in the eighth inning after the Yankees had trailed, 6-0. They won 8-6 in 10 innings to tie the Series at two games each and went on to their first of four titles under Joe Torre.

Leyritz, who lives in Davie, turned 44 Thursday. Fort Lauderdale authorities got a call at 3:20 a.m. that a crash occurred in the entertainment district, Collins said. She said Leyritz was driving a 2006 Ford Expedition that collided at an intersection with a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero driven by Fredia Ann Veitch, 30, of Plantation.

Veitch, who was ejected from the car, died at Broward General Medical Center. The Miami Herald said that Veitch, who left a husband and two children, was driving home from work at the Original Steakhouse.

Witnesses told police Leyritz had a red light. Officers on the scene observed Leyritz to have red, watery eyes, a flushed face and an odor of alcohol.

Leyritz was told Veitch had died and he was asked to submit to a blood test, police said. "After he refused, Leyritz was informed that blood would be taken above his refusal," the police statement said.

Leyritz played 11 seasons, 1990-2000, for six teams, averaging .264 with 90 homers. He also played for the Angels, Rangers, Red Sox, Padres and Dodgers.

Cano stopped from playing: The Yankees prohibited Robinson Cano from continuing to play winter ball in the Dominican Republic, general manager Brian Cashman confirmed, noting the Yankees had given Cano permission to play six games and he was still playing after 10. Cashman said he agreed to the six games to make sure that Cano had recovered from a September abdominal injury.Cano hit .389 in nine regular season games. ...

What is this world coming to? Jamie-Lynn Spears is pregnant at the age of 16, Mischa Barton racks up a DUI, and now, High School Musical stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are caught with martinis in hand. It wouldn't be such a big deal ... if either one of them were 21. However, Efron is just a year shy of his 21st which Hudgens has 2 years to go. According to FOX News, the on again, off again pair was spotted at Lola's in Hollywood hotspot Lola's, sipping martinis and cuddling. Despite rumors of his flirtations with other girls, and her comments about his sexuality, the pair seemed to be happy as ever when spotted at the bar.

Zanessa sure hasn't made it easy on Disney in the last few months. Back in October, OK magazine reported that Disney was going to drop Hudgens from the High School Musical series after naked pictures of her hit the internet. A month earlier, Efron hemmed and hawed about coming back for the third and final installment of the series. "If the script is good and if we all agree on a final script, then there's nothing that is going to hold us back from doing it," he told People magazine at the time. He continued to gripe about salary until Disney showed him the money. After all, what's High School Musical without Troy Bolton?

The headache doesn't end there. Earlier this week, it was reported that Hudgens is being sued by her former lawyer, Brian Schall. According to Schall, Hudgens has taken more than five million dollars in recording deals and never paid him for his services. A lawsuit can't keep a girl down, though. Vanessa blew off some steam this week by shopping with co-star and gal pal, Ashley Tisdale, in Hollywood. The two were spotted at Fred Segal and Louis Vuitton.

Britney Spears to replace Lindsay Lohan in ‘Memoirs Of A Medicated Child’

sábado, 29 de diciembre de 2007 |

Troubled singer Britney Spears is reportedly in talks to star in a new film - in a role that was originally lined up for Lindsay Lohan.

According to reports Britney, 26 - will draw on her own chaotic life for Memoirs Of A Medicated Child, in which she’d play the girlfriend of a misdiagnosed mentally-ill patient. Director Tommy Parker tells The New York Post: “As far as Britney’s concerned, we’re talking.”

An insider added to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper that Lindsay, who recently split from boyfriend Riley Giles, had been offered the part because they thought she’d be a better actor. “But they changed their minds and wanted Britney.”

Meanwhile, sources close to the ongoing custody war between Britney and her ex-husband Kevin Federline, have confirmed that the ‘Gimme More’ star is — once again — scheduled next week to be deposed by K-Fed’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan. However, as the mother of two has blown off over a half-dozen previously scheduled attempts at being deposed — many insiders are convinced that Britney will be a no-show for this one as well.

A legal source said: “She could go to jail for contempt of court if she refuses to show.

“That would be extreme for a child custody hearing, but not outside the realm of possibility.” More likely, explains the courtroom insider, Federline’s team could ask the court to impose monetary sanctions on Britney, who is already paying Kevin’s legal costs.

Unsurprisingly, the pre-New Year’s Eve party Mischa Barton was supposed to host this weekend in Las Vegas before she got arrested for drunk driving, was cancelled.

The young actress would have received quite a hefty paycheck if she were to appear at the event - the opening of CatHouse at the Luxor, but according to reports Barton pulled out and won’t be showing her face anywhere near Las Vegas.

On Thursday afternoon, a publicist for the lounge confirmed that she was still set to attend the party, despite her trouble.

Nicole Kidman, the Oscar-winning star of The Hours and Moulin Rouge, is expecting a baby, it has been disclosed.

The actress, 40, and Keith Urban, her husband of 18 months, reportedly broke the news to their families over the Christmas period.

The baby, whose expected arrival date has not been announced, would be Kidman's first by birth, though the actress, who is winning rave reviews for her role as the evil Mrs Coulter in The Golden Compass, adopted two children during her first marriage to fellow Hollywood star Tom Cruise.

Kidman, who has refused to discuss her break up from Cruise in any depth, recently revealed she had suffered an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage during their 10-year marriage.

The Australian actress, who lives in Sydney, has been gradually winding down her commitments to spend more time with Urban and her adopted children Isabella, 14, and Conor, 12.

Amy Winehouse has been summoned to appear in court in Bergen after appealing her fine for marijuana possession.

"I can confirm that she must appear in court," Bergen police spokeswoman Liv Karlsen said Thursday. "If one appeals a conviction, it's the rule that one has to appear in person, so this is not surprising."

The 24-year-old British singer-songwriter and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, were arrested in Bergen on Oct. 18 and held overnight on charges of illegal drug possession.

They were released the next day after paying fines of US$715 each on charges of possessing about seven grams of marijuana, and continued on a European tour.

Winehouse later claimed she had been tricked into signing the charges and didn't know what she had put her signature to. Police say they are sure she knew, and that fluent English speakers helped her.

The singer's lawyer has said that a conviction and a fine could damage her career by making it more difficult for her to enter the U.S.

Winehouse has spoken openly about her penchant for alcohol and marijuana, and her hit single "Rehab" is an autobiographical tale of her resistance to being pushed to go to rehab: "They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said no, no, no."

She was photographed earlier this month walking outside her London home wearing a bra and jeans, with no shoes, looking distressed.

Her 25-year-old husband was ordered held in custody in London last month on charges stemming from a case in which he is accused of assaulting a barman in June.

Pete Doherty Accused of Stealing Song

|

Babyshambles rocker Pete Doherty is facing accusations he stole a tune from a musician - and then failed to credit him.

Wayne Kenyon - a former pal of Babyshambles guitarist Mik Whitnall - insists the song Baddie's Boogie is based on a composition he penned in 1997 on tour with rock group The Ferrymen. Whitnall was playing in the band at the time.

And the incensed rocker has now launched action against Babyshambles.

Kenyon says, "Baddie's Boogie is a tune I wrote for The Ferrymen. I have footage of me playing it at three gigs in Germany in 1997.

"I have written to Babyshambles' record company and they said they were passing it on to their lawyers. But I have heard nothing since." The guitarist claims Whitnall promised he would mention him on their album Shotters Nation, but only the Babyshambles star was credited in the sleeve.

Meanwhile, Doherty is also facing claims he used lyrics from punk poet Nick Toczeks on Baddie's Boogie without permission.

The legal battle concerns a Manhattan townhouse Connery and his family share with Dr. Burton Sultan and his kin, the New York Post reported.

The Sultans claim the Connerys and their workers caused leaks and other damage to the building, while the Connerys contend the Sultans are preventing them from completing necessary repair work on the townhouse's roof, which they argue creates unsafe living conditions and higher repair costs.

In a decision made public Wednesday, Manhattan Supreme Justice Marcy Friedman fined Sultan, but also admonished Connery for his "blunderbuss" court attacks on the eye doctor.

Sultan and Connery have each filed numerous lawsuits against the other, the Post said.

"Regrettably, both parties to this dispute have engaged in a 'slash and

burn' litigation strategy," Friedman wrote in the decision, in which she dismisses most of the Sultan family's claims against the Connery family and several contractors who have worked on the building.

The judge's decision prevents both parties from filing any more lawsuits without her permission.

Actress Jessica Alba, who is pregnant with her first child, is engaged to long-time boyfriend Cash Warren, Alba's publicist said on Thursday.

Alba, 26, best known for her roles in the TV drama "Dark Angel" and "The Fantastic Four" movies, was pictured over the Christmas holiday with a huge diamond ring on her finger.

Alba met Warren in 2004 on the set of "The Fantastic Four," where he was a director's assistant. Warren has since moved into producing.

Desperate Housewives star Nicolette Sheridan certainly hasn’t been over-indulging in mince pies and mulled wine this Christmas. The actress has been showing off an enviable figure as she enjoys a romantic festive break in the Caribbean with fiancé Michael Bolton this week.

And it's hardly surprising the glam actress has a big smile on her face as she ambles along the tropical beach with her beau. At 44, she has a figure women half her age would be proud of - and her 54-year-old husband-to-be looks in great shape too.

Nicolette, who's yet to set a date for her wedding to the Georgia On My Mind singer, showed off her fab figure in a tiny red bikini. And the loved-up couple demonstrated how they maintain such trim physiques. After a sunbathing session, the good-looking pair went for a jog along the water's edge.

The hotel magnate Barron Hilton has announced plans to donate almost all his fortune to charity, slashing at a stroke his granddaughter Paris Hilton's inheritance, not to mention her potential eligibility.

The elder Hilton, 80, said he would give 97% of his $2.3bn (£1.15bn) estate to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, a charity founded by his father.

"We are all exceedingly proud and grateful for this extraordinary commitment," said the head of the charity, Steven Hilton, who is Barron's son and an uncle to Paris.

"Working to alleviate human suffering around the globe, regardless of race, religion or geography, is the mandate of the foundation set by my grandfather ... and now reinforced by my father."

The charity has distributed more than $560m for programmes that assist mentally ill homeless people, tackle substance abuse and increase access to safe water in Africa and Mexico. A significant portion of the money helps the work of Catholic sisters.

Some of the money will come from the sale of the Hilton Hotels group - which was founded by Conrad Hilton when he bought a small hotel in Texas in 1919 - to a private equity firm, the Blackstone Group.

According to one recent book about the Hilton family, Barron Hilton has been embarrassed by the behaviour of his socialite granddaughter, who gained notoriety through a homemade sex video and has since served time in prison for violating probation on a driving ban.

He has pledged an immediate $1.2bn to the charity and an estimated $1.1bn to follow after his death.

He had indicated at a recent board meeting that he would follow in the footsteps of his father, who left nearly all of his fortune to the trust when he died in 1979.

Fergie gets engaged

|

Black Eyed Pea Fergie has got engaged to her actor boyfriend, Transformers star Josh Duhamel.

The couple, who have been dating for three years, announced their happy news on Boxing Day but refused to reveal if Las Vegas star Josh popped the question on Christmas Day.

A representative for the actor has confirmed the pair got engaged "recently", but as yet no other details are available.

Since getting betrothed, Fergie, 32, has been calling all her friends and family to tell them about the engagement.

A source said: "She has called a lot of her girlfriends to tell them about the engagement. Fergie said she and Josh don't know what kind of wedding they want yet, but insists she is the happiest girl on earth."

Earlier this month, Fergie claimed she was in no rush to get engaged because she already felt married to Josh.

The Black Eyed Peas singer, who has been dating the 35-year-old actor since 2004, said: "We're practically married. I'm madly in love with him. He understands how to treat a woman and gives me respect."

Kim Kardashian's breast prayer

|

Kim Kardashian used to pray her breasts would stop growing.

The 27-year-old model and star of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' was an early developer and had C-cup breasts by the time she was 11.

Kim revealed: "I would cry about it. I swear, I would say my prayers at night, hoping that I would stop developing."

The Hollywood socialite - who starred in a sex tape with Brandy's brother, R'n'B singer Ray J - has now learnt to "embrace" her body and made her mother proud by posing for Playboy magazine.

She said: "I've embraced it now. When my mom saw the Playboy pictures she said, 'Wow. If I had pictures from when I was your age. You should do this while you can. They might never ask you again.' "

Kim has decided to use her sexy curves to keep her in the public spotlight.

She added to Details magazine: "I'm not the sex kitten that they've made me out to be, but I'll kind of give it to them when I have to. I know that's what they want, and so I give it to them."

French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his new lady friend, French-Italian singer Carla Bruni, spent Wednesday seeing the sights in the upper Egyptian Valley of the Kings, it was reported. The couple arrived in the southern city of Luxor on Tuesday to spend the Christmas and New Year holidays in Egypt. Later Wednesday they are due to travel to the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula.

Sarkozy's itinerary will see an official meeting with Egypt's President Hosny Mubarak on December 30 to discuss issues dealing with trade and the political situation in the Middle East.

His trip was also to include "an open discussion with Egyptian writers and intellectuals," according to local news reports citing the Egyptian ambassador in Paris, Nasser Kamel.

Sarkozy, who has been divorced from his last wife for two months, was first seen with his new former top model girlfriend a week ago in Disneyland Paris.

In France, Sarkozy has been criticized for his closeness to billionaire industrialists and media moguls.

A Falcon 900 private jet has been made available to Sarkozy by French billionaire Vincent Bolore, and his and Ms Bruni's stay in Sharm el-Sheikh will be at the private villa of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, the ruler of Abu Dhabi.

Britney Spears could be a suicide risk, says Hollywood addiction specialist

martes, 25 de diciembre de 2007 |

A leading Hollywood addiction specialist fears Britney Spears could be a suicide risk - insisting: “She appears to be crazy.”

The pop star has had a year of alarming behaviour - and was as bad as ever this weekend with bizarre trips to gas station toilets while talking in a fake British accent and finally arranging a “date” with a paparazzi photographer.

Now Beverly Hills analyst and addiction expert Marty Brenner fears she is showing the kind of behaviour that “could end in suicide” if she does not get help. “She appears to be crazy,” said Brenner, who has not treated Spears.

“She is disconnected from life.

“She’s losing it now, and she’s going to eventually lose it altogether if she doesn’t get the help she needs.

“She’s exhibiting bipolar signs and she’s clearly fighting depression.”

At the weekend, Britney pulled over on a busy road to snap a photo of a mural, then flipped when photographers refused to move out of her way. She screamed “Mother*******” at them and smashed her camera against a car. Later, she stopped numerous times at gas stations and at a Wal-Mart to use the bathroom.

She was heard using a bizarre British accent - and also making a ranting cellphone call about studios while in the toilet.

She then got a cellphone number for her favourite photographer and then - with other photogs watching on and filming the whole thing - arranged to meet him at a hotel where they stayed for several hours.

Brenner says Spears’ latest ploy for attention may be due to her 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn’s announcement that she’s pregnant. “Britney now needs to cry out for even more attention,” he said.

“She’s really going for it. No one stops to pee that many times. She has a major problem.”

Brenner theorized that Spears picked a photographer to play with because for her, “It’s a power trip. She thinks this guy’s going to fix her. We’ve seen her do this before.

“Look what’s around her, he’s in her world.”

He added: “She appears to be crazy. She is disconnected from life.

“Look how she changes outfits all day. She’s saying, ‘I don’t like who I am right now, maybe I can change it.’

“Britney also doesn’t listen to anybody. Her mum is out of the picture, her kids are gone and everyone surrounding her is enabling her world of illusion.”

Coronation Street - Helen Flanagan must dress demurely

lunes, 24 de diciembre de 2007 |

Helen Flanagan can't dress as raunchily as her soap character - because her dad "would kill her".

The 'Coronation Street' star loves wearing short skirts and revealing dresses when she's playing Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, because she could never dress like that in "real life".

Helen told Britain's All About Soap magazine: "I could never get away with the clothes Rosie wears in real life. My dad would absolutely kill me if I dressed like that! He just wouldn't let me out of the house if I tried to put on one of those tiny skirts."

The 17-year-old actress - whose character is having an affair with school teacher John Stape, played by Graeme Hawley - loves playing The Street's new manipulative maneater.

Helen hopes Rosie will follow in the footsteps of the notoriously nasty Tracy Barlow, who is currently in prison for killing her lover Charlie Stubbs.

She said: "Rosie's so manipulative. I really do think she could be the next Tracy Barlow!".

Actress Michelle Rodriguez began a 180-day jail term in Los Angeles on Sunday for probation violation, the second Hollywood celebrity after Kiefer Sutherland to face a Christmas incarceration.

According to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. records, the former "Lost" star checked in to Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, south of downtown Los Angeles, under her given name, Mayte. Michelle is her middle name.

Rodriguez must serve the full stretch in the overcrowded jail, where sentences for minor crimes are often cut short. In November, actress Lindsay Lohan served 84 minutes of a 1-day sentence, while reality TV starlet Nicole Richie was released 80 minutes into her 4-day term in August.

A judge sentenced Rodriguez in October for violating her probation on previous drunken-driving and hit-and-run offenses, and specified that she not be granted work furlough, early release or home confinement.

Rodriguez admitted failing to complete community service obligations. She was also found to have consumed alcohol on at least three occasions while wearing a monitoring bracelet around her ankle, in violation of a probation requirement that she refrain from drinking for 90 days.

The probation violation stems from a 2004 plea of no contest -- the equivalent of guilty -- to three traffic offenses in Los Angeles, including hit-and-run and drunken driving violations. She was previously sentenced to 60 days in jail for a probation violation in May 2006, but was released after just four hours and 20 minutes due to overcrowding.

Rodriguez rose to fame in 2000, playing a feisty pugilist in the indie film "Girlfight." She went on to star in such movies as "The Fast and the Furious" and "Blue Crush." Her "Lost" character, police officer Ana-Lucia Cortez, was killed off after about two dozen episodes.

Sutherland, the star of the action series "24," began a 48-day term in another Los Angeles-area jail on December 5 for drunken driving.

Lindsay Lohan Nymphomaniac

|

Lindsay Lohan is a "nymphomaniac", according to ex-lover Riley Giles.

The 'Mean Girls' actress, who met Riley at Utah's Cirque Lodge rehab centre in August, has reportedly become addicted to sex since quitting drugs.

Riley said: "Lindsay is definitely a nymphomaniac. She is wild in bed. We would have sex a couple of times in the day and then through the night. Lindsay was insatiable. She would demand sex again and again.

"Sex became a part of Lindsay's recovery. We didn't get out of bed for days. If you have an addictive personality like Lindsay you need to replace the high you got from drugs."

Riley also claims Lindsay was in love with him and the pair planned to buy a house and settle down.

The 24-year-old professional snowboarder said: "Lindsay would tell me that she loved me and I would say that to her too. She told me she had only ever had three serious boyfriends and I was one of them.

"We even planned to get a house and live together in Utah. We were together every day for a month and I could tell she loved me by the way she cried when we said goodbye at the airport."

The relationship ended soon after Lindsay, 21, returned to Los Angeles in November and threw herself back into her hectic movie career.

Riley, who claims he still speaks to Lindsay every day, added to Britain's News of the World newspaper: "Her whole attitude changed when she got back to Los Angeles. She is surrounded by movie stars and does whatever she wants. There are a lot of fake people. I don't think it is healthy."

Since the split, Lindsay has been romantically linked to Paris Hilton's former lover Stavros Niarchos, Heath Ledger and a man only known as 'Spencer'.

Lindsay is said to have dumped Riley because he was jealous of her fame.

Alesha Dixon wins "Strictly Come Dancing"

domingo, 23 de diciembre de 2007 |

Singer Alesha Dixon has been crowned winner of popular BBC show "Strictly Come Dancing".

Dixon, best known as one of the girl band Mis-Teeq, and partner Matthew Cutler defeated "Eastenders" actor Matt D'Angelo and his partner Flavia Cacace in the final after performing five dances for the judges and the voting public.

"I'm over the moon I can't believe it," said Dixon, who had been the bookmakers' favourite to win.

"It was worth all the bruises, all the lack of sleep, all the painful cuts and sore joints, all the tears and all the 380 hours of training."

Beaten finalist D'Angelo said the competition had been "loads of fun".

"I wanted to win but it didn't happen on the night.

Alesha's a phenomenal dancer and I'm really happy for her."

Jennifer Love Hewitt has turned down Hugh Hefner's offer to pose nude in Playboy. The rejection comes on the back of the 28-year-old's lambasting of bloggers who poked fun at less than flattering bikini shots taken by the paparazzi.

"I've sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women's bodies are constantly scrutinised. To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist put on a bikini - put it on and stay strong," she wrote on her website.

She is not the first high profile woman to turn down Playboy with Christina Aguilera, Jessica Alba, Katherine Heigl and Ashlee Simpson all turning down offers in the past. Hewitt is reportedly "pretty conservative, but... very proud of her body."

Runner-up Rhydian Roberts has told how X Factor mentor Dannii Minogue never really liked him.

The Welsh singer, who came second to Leon Jackson, confessed: "I genuinely don't think she likes me! I adore her, she's lovely but I just don't think she gets me at all.

"I think we grew closer as the competition heated up but she never liked me in the first place.

"But there you go. People in life are always going to like you or hate you."

He admitted he didn't fancy the Aussie singer, adding: "She's not really my type, she's a bit too thin for me."

Rhydian, 24, from Powys, also got on the wrong side of Sharon Osbourne. The outspoken judge made no secret of it during the show. He said: "Obviously she hated me to begin with, that's fair enough.

"Thankfully I don't get stick from the main guns, Simon and Louis. In my eyes - no disrespect to Sharon - they're the people behind the record company and management side of things."

"Sharon's on record as saying if people are nasty about her family she'll send them a letter full of s***.

And my mum's threatened to do that if Sharon crosses the line!" he told Heat.

Leon, 18, who won a £1million recording contract last week, is tipped to land the coveted Christmas No 1 spot in tomorrow's chart.

Eva Mendes criticised the pregnant 16 year old Jamie-Lynn, the younger sister of Britney Spears, calling her teenage pregnancy an epidemic.

Talking at PETA’s “Id Rather Go Naked… Than Wear Fur” campaign in Los Angeles, she joked about the current rise in Hollywood teenage pregnancies.

The world of show business was left speechless when Jamie-Lynn announced that she is pregnant with her first child.

- It’s an epidemic. I hope I don’t catch it! – The Sun reports Eva’s words.

Talking about the PETA campaign, the star of the film “Hitch” does not have any problems with getting naked.

“Its very tasteful. Its all in fun. Its got a flirtatious, fun spirit about it. Its not like come hither or anything like that” said Eva Mendes.

Troubled pop princess Britney Spears is blaming her mother Lynne Spears for the pregnancy of her 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn.

According to reports, the ‘Gimme More’ singer, 26, called up her mom after hearing the news of her sister’s pregnancy - and they apparently spoke for a long time with Spears doing most of the talking, Pagesix.com has reported.

An insider said: “Britney basically went off on her the entire time, blaming her for Jamie Lynn’s messed up life. It was a very hurtful call.”

Britney and her mom have been estranged when her family forced her to go to rehabilitation against her will. The source added, “Britney feels like they have all abandoned her in her time of need. She felt, and still feels, completely left out of the family.”

And now Britney - who is currently embroiled in a bitter legal battle with former husband Kevin Federline, is not allowing her parents to see her two children.

The source added, “Because Lynne has been refused visits with Britney when she has the boys, Lynne will make sure she has more control over Jamie Lynn’s baby. Britney needs to get over her petty family issues. She needs to get help with her issues so that she can be a part of not only Jamie Lynn and her baby’s life but her own boys’ lives as well.”

Britney Spears used to be the family train wreck while Jamie Lynn Spears maintained that she was the levelheaded of the two sisters. Those roles didn't exactly swap this week but it was close. Jamie Lynn announced that she is now in the family way and she will pop out Casey Aldridge's baby in about six months. Just in time for Christmas, the Spears girls deliver some love to American families for discussion.

Britney didn't miss a beat. When she was first told that her sister was pregnant she denied it as it appeared the family hadn't told her the news. And why would they, if they had spilled to Britney she would have let it sip to one of the photographers that follow her to all corners of Los Angeles and that would have ruined the exclusive for OK! magazine.

Since the announcement, Jamie Lynn hasn't been out and there are no sightings of the young mother-to-be. When she was asked if the pregnancy was unplanned she answered yes. While that query posed to any sixteen year old seems ludicrous there are many that are speculating that Jamie Lynn got knocked up 'just for the attention.'

Certainly she has had the spotlight turned off Britney and on to her for the time being. The toxic sisters have certainly made Christmas fun for the tabloids, and a nightmare for parents of the young ones that watch "Zoey 101."

Miss France 2008 compromising pics

|

Valerie Begue was feted as a princess at home on the French-run Indian Ocean island of Reunion when she was crowned Miss France earlier this month.

But jubilation quickly turned to dismay with the publication of compromising photos of the 22-year-old beauty queen that risk toppling her from her throne.

The head of the Miss France committee has demanded the brunette give up her two-week-old crown after photos emerged Friday of her posing Christ-like in a swimming pool and suggestively licking yoghurt out of a pot.

"It is absolutely unacceptable. She must resign immediately, and if not we will make her leave," Genvieve de Fontenay told Europe 1 radio station.

Begue initially said she had no intention of giving up her crown, awarded only on December 8, and said she felt "betrayed" by the pictures' publication.

But she told a press conference later Friday that she would take a "period of reflection" before deciding, adding that she "understood" the reaction of the Miss France committee.

All entrants to the competition have to sign a disclaimer stating that they have never been photographed fully nude or in compromising positions.

The 1.74-metre tall (5ft 7in) business student said the photos were taken three years ago and "were never meant to be published". Neither she nor the photographer was paid for them, she insisted.

"I made an error of youth, I admit it," she said.

The revelation came as a shock to Reunion residents, who had only Thursday turned out en masse to welcome Begue at the airport as she returned home, the first islander to be named Miss France since 1978.

Phone lines to Radio Free Dom were jammed following the news, with most people saying they were "staggered" at the revelations. "It's not fair, she was representing Reunion so well," one woman told Radio Free Dom television.
