Paris Hilton Arrested For Cocaine Possession, she was busted in Las Vegas Friday night  

Posted by Jo bansi

source-mtv, ap, people
Paris Hilton was arrested in Las Vegas Friday night for cocaine possession. Police found a small amount of the substance on the socialite and reality-TV starlet after cops pulled over a black Escalade driven by her boyfriend, according to The Associated Press.

Officers stopped the SUV on the Las Vegas Boulevard after suspecting marijuana smoke was billowing from the vehicle and found the substance in the heiress' purse. Hilton was booked into the Clark County Detention Center early Saturday, according to People, and later released without bail. Cy Waits, who is reportedly dating Hilton, was charged with driving under the influence and remained in custody Saturday morning awaiting a court appearance, the AP reports.

Hilton was arrested on a felony cocaine possession charge and would likely receive probation if convicted. The star's attorney, David Chesnoff, told the AP that he was still getting information about the situation, and added "I caution people not to rush to judgment."

The heiress tweeted early Saturday morning but didn't appear to be shaken up by the incident.

"In bed watching Family Guy. Love this show.! So hilarious! Stewie is my favorite :) love his accent," Hilton wrote around 6 a.m. "Going to bed. Sweet dreams everyone. Xoxo Paris :)."

Hilton had another run-in with the law over alleged drug possession earlier this summer. The star was detained in South Africa at the World Cup for marijuana possession, but the case against Hilton was later dropped after officials learned that someone else in her group was smoking.

The heiress has a history of getting in trouble for possessing substances and hitting the road. Hilton served 23 days in jail in 2007 for violating probation stemming from a 2006 DUI bust.

Julio Iglesias weds after 20-years of dating and five kids  

Posted by Jo bansi

Julio Iglesias and Miranda RijnsburgerIn a move that should give Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie some renewed motivation, Spanish singing star Julio Iglesias has finally married his girlfriend – after twenty years and five children together.
Julio, 66, and leggy Dutch model, Miranda Rijnsburger swapped vows at the ‘Virgen del Carmen’ church in the upscale resort of Marbella, a vibrant town with a glorious history that nestles on the south coast of Spain.
Reverend Roberto Rojo Aguado, one of three priests who conducted the ceremony, told Us the pair were married on Tuesday in a quiet, low-key ceremony attended by just two witnesses and the couple’s five children.
The new bride and groom have three sons and two daughters: Miguel, 13, Rodrigo, 11, and 3-year old Guillermo, plus twin girls Victoria and Cristina, aged 9.
This is the second marriage for the velvet-voiced Latin legend; In 1971 he married Filipino journalist Isabel Preysler, with whom he has three other children, Chabeli, Enrique and Julio Jr.
But the marriage to 59-year old Isabel was annulled in 1979. His new bride is just 45…

Taylor Swift in supposed romance with ‘Black Swan’ star  

Posted by Jo bansi

Having already displayed a certain taste in companions after failed romances with Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift appears to have found a new friend – British-born actor Toby Hemingway.
Toby Hemingway - Taylor SwiftSources say the 20-year old singer has been seen cruising around Main with 24-year old Toby, whom she met when he was hired to play a groom in Swift’s new music video ‘Mine,’ which will debut on her CMT special – which just happens to be airing tonight.
The pair engage in some mild romance in the film, but those close to the singer are remaining mute on whether Toby might join her on stage.
If this is more than just hype that got leaked for ratings, Taylor made a good choice for once. Born in Brighton, England on May 28, 1986 Toby moved to Ojai California with his parents when he was still just 13. He later graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, and was soon making movies with A-listers, such as 2007’s ‘Feast of Love’ with Morgan Freeman.
The next year he joined ‘CSI,’ and he’s just completed post-production on ‘Black Swan’ with Natalie Portman, which is due out in December. So the kid has done good!
But what of his new role with Taylor? Can we expect some live, on-screen romance? A rep for the singer had little to say;
“We don’t comment on Taylor’s personal life,” the rep told Page Six.
No, they don’t – They just leak self-serving, hype-flavored stories like this one, on the same day as her show…

Hilary Duff’s dream wedding sealed by prenup  

Posted by Jo bansi

Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie When Hilary Duff got married last weekend she and her new husband, Mike Comrie’s guests were surprised to learn the 22-year old actress signed a pre-nuptial agreement. But Hilary says she’s in love and has no doubts at all.
The star of Disney’s ‘Lizzie McGuire’ and former Edmonton Oilers star, Mike Comrie were married at sunset on Saturday evening in front of 100 guests, at a private estate in Santa Barbara owned by Michael Douglas’ ex-wife Diandra Luker.
The ceremony is said to have cost over $500,000.
The bride wore a long, strapless Vera Wang dress, with her hair gathered into a bun beneath an translucent veil. Mike took his place at her side in a tastefully tailored but traditional tuxedo. And Hilary had clear ideas for her gown;
‘I want it to be girlie but not too overwhelming, because I’m so small,’ she said. ‘I mean, people would be like, ‘Whoa, cupcake!”‘
She even hired wedding planner Mindy Weiss to run the whole thing, whose past clients include Jessica Simpson, Gwen Stefani and Adam Sandler. So you can see where the cash went!
‘It feels wonderful to be married,’ the star told friends once vows were exchanged. ‘It hasn’t fully sunk in yet.’
And though the couple’s use of a prenup caused her girlfriends concern, friends say the issue is minor;
“It was a totally amicable agreement,” an insider told the Post. “They love each other, and knew this was just a technicality.”
And there’s good reason to get one – While Hilary has made decent money from Disney, Mike is the heir to a Canadian retail business, ‘The Brick,’ And that makes him worth over $500-million.
But Mike is no skinflint – he bought his new wife a $100,000 Mercedes-Benz SUV for her 20th birthday, and when they got engaged in Hawaii in February the ring was said to worth around $1-million.
Despite this, Hilary claims money’s no issue, and says they share a ’surprisingly natural’ romance.
“We both have busy jobs, and we’re very focused people, so that helps,” she told reporters.
Mike seems to agree; “We both live such different lives, but it’s always fun to support each other and spend time when we get to,” he recently said.
But Hilary’s no dufus with money – She struck an exclusive deal with ‘OK Magazine’ to cover the ceremony. Price? $1 million…

Angelina Jolie and George Clooney dispel Monroe film rumors  

Posted by Jo bansi

 George Clooney - Angelina Jolie The world of celebrity is riddled with hype, and in one of the more shameful examples of self-serving rumor it’s now been confirmed that neither Angelina Jolie nor George Clooney will be starring in a movie about Marilyn Monroe.
The claims were made by British author Andrew O’Hagan, while debuting his new book on the late actress at the Edinburgh  Book Festival which opened on Saturday.
But reps for both actors have torn these self-serving claims into shreds.
A rep for George has dismissed all claims of his client’s involvement as ‘totally fabricated’. And Angie’s people also tore holes in the story;
“Angelina is NOT attached to this project,” was the official response.
Angie, 35, also made it clear she has no role in the book’s adaptation. But speaking to reporters on Monday at the London premiere of her new movie ‘Salt.’ she took the claims in good humor;
“This is a new rumor,” she mused.  “It sounds very nice – I just haven’t got the phone call yet. You guys will probably know before I do.”
If you have a yen to see Angelina on film, Salt opened on July 23. And George can next be seen as an assassin in ‘The American,’ which opens on September 1st.
As for Mr. O’Hagan, it’s best left unsaid…

Gwen Stefani trashes husband in new songs  

Posted by Jo bansi

 It’s widely accepted that the best music is grounded in heartache, and since marrying Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stefani has  created some very good songs.
The pair married at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London on September 14, 2002. But it was soon discovered that Gavin had a daughter from a previous connection with designer, Pearl Lowe.
And his behavior since then has given Gwen strong material for her next album;
“A lot of the songs are about Gavin and what a jerk he is,” a source tells X17. “They’re so negative, he finally had to tell her ‘No more songs about me!’”
But this isn’t the first time Gwen’s found emotional revenge in her music – the songs “Don’t Speak” and “Cool” were about ‘No Doubt’ band-mate and ex-boyfriend, Tony Kanal, She’s also sung about Gavin before, such as in ‘Simple Kind of Life.’
gwen stefaniBut these latest songs are even more bitter.
“Gwen was pissed that Courtney Love blabbed about her affair with Gavin,” says the snitch. “Gwen knew they’d been together – but not right before their wedding, Some of the songs call him out for being a cheater.”
But even though Gavin appears to have faults, Gwen still wants more babies;
“Gwen is 40 and desperate to have another child,” says the insider.
The couple already had two sons – Kingston, born on May 26, 2006, and Zuma, born on August 21, 2008. But Gwen and her family are all keeping silent on when, or if, she will go through that again.
Do you think she’s right to trash Gavin in song? And would you have another child with him, girls?

Brittany Murphys mom slept in same bed with Simon Monjack, says report
 When Brittany Murphy died on December 20th many people thought something was strange. Well, there was more strange to come – According to new police reports, once Brittany was gone her husband, Simon Monjack and Brittany’s mom shared a bed.
The L.A. Coroner’s Office has just released their final report on Simon Monjack’s death from pneumonia and intoxication by various drugs on May 23rd. In it, investigators record a meeting with Brittany’s mom, Sharon Murphy.
Sharon was leading a detective from the LAPD  through the West Hollywood home the three of them shared. When they reached the master bedroom, Sharon identified one half as being ‘her side’ of the bed.
This was the same bed in which Simon slept.
According to TMZ, she also told the investigator that some of the pills he found on the nightstand – which had been prescribed to ‘Sharon Murphy’ and ‘Sharon Monjack’ – were also hers.
However, the report makes no suggestion that Sharon and her son-in-law ever shared any sexual contact.
Brittany was a good actress, but her home life was clearly a mess. What do you think of this latest example?…

Lindsay Lohan To Get $1 Million Asking Price For First Post-Rehab Interview?  

Posted by Jo bansi in ,

 Lindsay Lohan It looks Lindsay Lohan is going to be well compensated for the minor interruption she’s had with that boring incarceration she’s had to endure. As you know Lindsay was sent to jail for 90 days last month, but got out after less than two weeks.  If sources are to be believed, then Lindsay Lohan will be getting out of the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital as early as this week. While Lohan’s doctors have not written their final report,  they supposedly have already concluded her psychiatric problems are not nearly as severe as first thought, reports TMZ.  It was earlier indicated that the Mean Girls star was bipolar but that proved not to be the case.  In addition, the doctors do not believe the drug dependency issues are as severe as first thought.  This despite the fact she has been in rehab reportedly 3 times before?
So for suffering through this horrible ordeal (sarcasm intended), the little train wreck is gonna be rewarded by giving interviews of her time in prison.  Enabling mother Dina has said Lindsay plans to head back to New York after rehab, where she could earn anywhere from $25,000-$100,000 per “appearance,” at clubs.  And word has been she was asking for a cool $1 million for that first post jail interview, and rumor is someone has stepped up to pay.  According to Hollywood Reporter, Lohan is likely to be handed $1 million by OK! Magazine for her first post-jail interview.

Premier League footballer Peter Crouch cheated on her beautiful fianceé Abbey Clancy with the 19-year-old Algerian-born prostitute Monica Mint!
DailyMail reports: “The affair is reported to have taken place after Crouch, 29, went on a stag weekend to Madrid ahead of the wedding of school friend Ed Aitkin.
A friend of Crouch asked how much she charged before she and the £70,000-a-week footballer got into a taxi together. He counted out 1,000 euros in cash – worth about £850 – before she performed a sex act.”
The prostitute, who apparently had no idea of his engagement to Abbey, said: “I can’t believe he paid for sex with someone like me when he has a gorgeous woman like her at home.”

Tila Tequila Attacked At Concert by Juggalos and Juggalettes?
(HMG) – Reminding one of the days of old when the villagers worked themselves into a frenzy before setting upon the the monster, reality star Tila Tequila says that an angry mob kicked her ass and tried to kill her.  The angry mob (young fans) were gathered at a concert in Illinois, featuring music groups like the Insane Clown Posse and the Kottonmouth Kings.  And Tila was actually hired to perform, but the crowd immediately turned on her according to her account given to TMZ. The fans, mostly young people who sometimes wear clown make-up and are referred to as juggalos and juggalettes, immediately pelted her with rocks and bottles, cutting her face.
“I went onstage and immediately, before I even got on stage, dudes were throwing huge stone rocks in my face, beer bottles that slit my eye open, almost burnt my hair … cuz they threw firecrackers on stage,” she claims.
A witness, who was standing in the rear of the stage tells CNN:
“She was taunting them,” he said. “She didn’t know how to handle them. She didn’t understand the dynamic.”
Her bodyguards rushed her off the stage but a large mob chased and surrounded the trailer where she sought refuge. They rocked the trailer and smashed its windows. Tequila eventually escaped, but her SUV was also smashed up according to reports.
Tequila, posted a Twitter message Saturday, saying she would sue the festival, which is organized for fans of the hip-hop group Insane Clown Posse.
“Pretty soon, the owners who run the juggalos will be bankrupt,” she tweeted.
Tila has claimed a lot of crazy stuff in the past that I doubt, but this one I think really did happen, and she will probably make some serious cash once she sues!

Friends of former Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) are concerned for his safety after a plane registered to the company whose lodge he was scheduled to visit crashed Monday night in a remote area about 325 miles southwest of Anchorage, The Anchorage Daily News reported Tuesday.
Eight people were believed to be on board -- an Alaska National Guard spokesman said there are possible fatalities, but that there are good Samaritans on the scene reportedly helping crash victims.
According to the Anchorage Daily News the aircraft is a 1957 DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter registered to Anchorage-based communications company GCI. Friends of the senator told the newspaper he was scheduled to travel Monday to Agulowak Lodge, which is owned by the firm.

Jenner and his girlfriend Avril Lavigne hit the streets of L.A. with the former Hills star sporting a new addition to his fresh new haircut, a “A”, presumably in honor of the singer’s first name.

Will Ferrell Cop Comedy Collars Box Office Crown  

Posted by Jo bansi in , ,

Source - ABC news
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg grabbed the box office crown from Leonardo DiCaprio on Sunday as their new cop comedy "The Other Guys" sold about $35.6 million worth of tickets, the film's distributor said.
The opening, which was in line with expectations, marks the second-highest of Ferrell's career and a big rebound from his 2009 summer bomb "Land of the Lost." Wahlberg, making a rare foray into comedy, achieved his best opening since 2001's "Planet of the Apes" remake kicked off with $68.5 million.
In "The Other Guys," they play mismatched underdogs on the trail of a fraudster played by English comic Steve Coogan. Reviews were strong for the $85 million film, which skewed to young men, said Sony Corp's Columbia Pictures. Ferrell suffered disappointing openings for both "Land of the Lost" ($18.8 million) and 2008's "Semi-Pro" ($15.5 million), raising speculation that another flop could hurt his ability to get big-budget studio films green-lighted.
 His best opening remains the 2006 comedy "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" with $47 million. "Talladega Nights," "The Other Guys," and Ferrell's 2007 hit "Blades of Glory" ($33 million opening) were directed by Adam McKay. Ferrell and McKay are "one of the best comedy combinations in the industry," said Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution at Columbia. "STEP UP 3D" HOBBLED
After three weekends at No. 1, DiCaprio's dreams thriller "Inception" slipped to No. 2 with $18.6 million, taking the total for the hit Warner Bros. release to $227.7 million after four weekends.
Also new was "Step Up 3D," the underperforming third release in the urban dance series. The Walt Disney Co release opened at No. 3 with $15.5 million, well below its predecessors even with the help of higher prices for 3D engagements. Disney partnered on the project with closely held studio Summit Entertainment.

Sandra Bullock is Forbes Highest-Paid Actress  

Posted by Jo bansi in , ,


Sandra BullockAfter a year of highs and lows, Forbes has dubbed Sandra Bullock Hollywood’s highest-paid actress. Her whopping $56 million income between June 2009 and June 2010 is due to the success of The Proposal and The Blind Side. She took reduced upfront pay in order to get a higher percentage of the profits. After adopting a baby and becoming a single mother due to a nasty divorce in the same year, it’s nice to see good things happen to her.
Cameron Diaz and Reese Witherspoon tied for second place at $32 million. While Reese Witherspoon is bringing in the big bucks from upfront pay from two new movies, Cameron Diaz is making a large chunk of her income from the Shrek Franchise and her recent romantic comedies. And Jennifer Aniston, who also gets a sizable amount of money from her past work on the Friends series, placed fourth on the list at $27 million. Sarah Jessica Parker place fifth with $25 million, which she got from both Sex and the City and the second Sex and the City movie, which just came out this year.
The actresses often make money from other sources, as well. Reese Witherspoon makes a fair amount from representing Avon, and Jennifer Aniston recently opened her own perfume line– something Sarah jessica Parker has been doing for years.
It’s refreshing to see “older” women managing to make ridiculous amounts of money in Hollywood still. Now if only the concept would catch on more often!

Murphy, a creator of the Fox musical comedy series, said at the Television Critics Association press tour on Monday that she’ll appear in a Christmas episode as a high school lunch lady (that’s kind of dead-on casting). Also, Murphy says Paul McCartney has offered the show his music. “It came out of blue in a package, handwritten, and it had two CDs and it said ‘Hi Ryan, I hope you will consider some of these songs for ‘Glee’ … I had heard that he is a fan of the show. I was gob-smacked … so of course we are going to do something with him,” Murphy said.

Jeff Goldblum Won’t Be Back if There is 10th Season of “Law & Order: Criminal Intent”  

Posted by Jo bansi in , ,


Jeff GoldblumJeff Goldblum won’t be returning to Law & Order: Criminal Intent as Detective Zach Nichols, if it is renewed for a 10th season, Variety reported Tuesday.  Goldblum’s contract was up anyway, and according to his rep, he decided to leave instead of renegotiate because of the uncertainty “surrounding the show’s future.”
Goldblum came on board as the replacement for Chris Noth in the seventh season. He went on to being the lead featured male detective after Vincent D’Onofrio decided to quit last Fall, along with Kathryn Erbe and Eric Bogosian as Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Saffron Burrows joined the cast with Goldblum.  The ninth season of “Law and Order: Criminal Intent” aired its finale July 6 on USA; the tenth season is still not confirmed. There is a rumor that D’Onofrio has asked to come back if the tenth season will be the final one.

Papa Joe killed Judging Opportunity for Jessica Simpson on American Idol?  

Posted by Jo bansi in , , , ,


Jessica Simpson There have been a number of big names from the entertainment field tossed around as potential new judges on “American Idol,” to replace Simon Cowell. Nigel Lythgoe’s return to ‘American Idol’ as an executive producer is said to have precipitated the sweep of judges, with Ellen DeGeneres dropping out first.  It seems likely Kara DioGuardi is also gone too, while Randy Jackson’s future seems uncertain. Elton John, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Jessica Simpson, Chris Isaak, Harry Connick Jr. were allegedly among celebrity music industry folks under consideration. Of late Jennifer Lopez and possibly Steven Tyler have been the rumored front runners. It seems pretty certain though unofficial that J.Lo will be an ‘American Idol’ judge, but word is the job only became hers after several big-name celebrities passed on the opportunity.  According to Rob Shuter at Popeater, producers first asked Elton John and Barry Manilow, who have mentored contestants in prior seasons, but both declined preferring to focus on performing.  I think Elton would have been an awesome judge but I can certainly see why he might not really be interested.  An interesting side note is that after Elton and Barry turned them down Jessica Simpson was considered along with J.Lo, as Idol producers started looking at celebrities whose careers were basically stuck in neutral. Jessica supposedly was made a firm offer to be a judge, but her dad-manager Joe Simpson lived up to his reputation, gumming up the works. Idol execs reportedly found it impossible to negotiate a deal with papa Joe, and moved on.  I have said before I think Jessica would have been a poor choice anyway.  I am not so sure whether it’s a smart move for Steven Tyler to take the judging gig if it has been offered, but it might be interesting to see what he brings to the table.
