Monday, 3 August 2009
David Beckham will appear in an advert alongside California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The LA Galaxy hunk, 34, will be seen playing football in a commercial to plug the US state.
It will be a massive campaign, a source tells The Sun.
It shows the governor believes David is a big catch in getting tourists to visit.
Actor Rob Lowe will also star in the ad.
We've learned Michael Douglas' son -- actor Cameron Douglas -- has been arrested in New York City for possession of methamphetamines with the intent to distribute.
It's not the first time Cameron has been busted for drugs. Back in 2007 he was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance after cops found a syringe with liquid cocaine in a car he was in.
The mugshot in this article is from his 2007 arrest.
We're told the 30-year-old actor was taken into custody by federal authorities earlier today. He remains in custody.
Snapper Gaetano Di Giovanni alleges his face was scratched and bruised after Campbell slapped him and hit him with her handbag while she was holidaying with tycoon boyfriend Vladislav Doronin on the island of Lipari last year (08).
Di Giovanni tells Italian newspaper La Repubblica, "First she hit with her bag, screaming at me and then she tried to slap me. I managed to avoid her - but her nails still got my eye.
"For a few seconds I could not see a thing. I could hear that her bodyguards and her boyfriend were trying to drag her away."
Campbell's spokesperson was unavailable for comment as WENN went to press.
She's jetted off to Spain with another guy but Katie Price still has deep feelings for Peter Andre
Monday, 3 August 2009
Jordan has flown to Spain with Alex Reid but she still has deep regrets about the end of her marriage to Peter Andre
Its a shame because it was a fairytale and he was the love of my life,' she tells Now in an exclusive interview. 'The kids dont really understand whats going on.'
The mum of three is putting on a brave face but friends and family are becoming increasingly concerned about her fragile state of mind.
Last week Jordan went on ITV1s Loose Women and declared that shed never been happier, but privately her pain is causing great worry for those closest to her including mum Amy and best friend Michelle Heaton.
Jordan, 31, broke down when her mum tried to tell her that her behaviour had become unacceptable after hearing about her antics at Michelles 30th birthday party.
Friends say that Jordan was so drunk, she was rambling incoherently and was falling on the floor muttering to herself. Amy, concerned that her daughters life is turning into a car crash, tried to warn her to no avail.
A source says: She flew into a rage like a woman possessed, saying: Im f***ing Jordan I can do what I want. No one can tell me what to do. The kids were horrified to see their mummy so upset. She then went upstairs and no one saw her for hours.
Now can reveal that over the last year friends and family have feared for the ex-glamour models welfare.
When she was in Florida last August, she locked herself in her room one day and wouldnt come out to anyone, not even Pete or her management,' says our source. 'No one knew what was wrong she said she just couldnt cope with all the people round her.'
Jordans had to deal with more than most in the last decade. After splitting from Another Level singer Dane Bowers in 2000, she took an overdose of prescription drugs, which left her hospitalised.
Ive been really hurt in the past, she told us last week. Especially when I split up with Dane. It took me two years to get over him. I had the overdose and I always said I would never let a guy do that to me again.
While she was struggling with postnatal depression after giving birth to Junior in 2005, she also had suicidal thoughts that became so strong that she binged on drugs and contemplated driving into a wall. She later checked into The Priory.
During the same hearing that granted Katherine Jackson custody of Michael's three children, the mother of the late singer withdrew her petition for control of his estate.
The Associated Press reports that when the Los Angeles Superior Court resumed its probate hearing Monday, Judge Mitchell Beckloff ruled that Jackson's longtime attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain will continue to administer the singer's estate until at least October.
The men have had control for nearly a month and have the authority to negotiate deals and transition Jackson's assets into a private trust.
(Although it is unclear how much money Katherine and her grandchildren will receive in allowance from the singer's estate in the meantime, the trust designates that 40 percent of the estate goes to Katherine, 40 percent goes to the children and 20 percent goes to various charities.)

Just before midnight on August 5, 1962, the British Union Jack was lowered and the Jamaican flag raised for the first time, marking Jamaica's independence and the dawn of a new era.
The national parade, flag-raising ceremony and fireworks were held at the National Stadium with the evening's events beginning at 11 p.m. More than 20,000 people gathered at the venue for the night's celebrations.
Alliance SelectorBoom Boomwho recently adopted the new alias "Murder Man" is reportedly drawing the battle lines and preparing for an all out assault at this yearsFully Loaded beach partyslated forJuly 26th at James Bond Beach.
Boom Boom who earned his reputation in the streets as a top dancehall selector last week made it clear in an interview that his appearance on Fully Loaded was secure and that he will be looking to claim the title of clash king,"Mi book fi kill every sound dat book fi Fully Loaded, Matterhorn ah mi idol so mi want him to be the host cause mi nuh want to turn him inna ghost".

For now the verdict is still out on just who will be showing down at James Bond Beach but make no mistake this years staging is already starting to prove interesting.
"We're very proud, we took a big step, enormous," said Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola after his club matched the previous highest total of 85 points in a season. "We wanted to kill it, to kill the league here."
Madrid saw an 18-match unbeaten run - which included 16 victories - snapped after its first defeat since a 2-0 loss to Barcelona at Camp Nou in December.
"We've lost a lot of hope in the league chase," Madrid coach Juande Ramos said.
Gonzalo Higuain headed Madrid into the lead after 14 minutes, but it was all Barcelona from then on.
Henry equalized four minute later, and Carles Puyol gave Barcelona the lead with a header in the 20th. Messi added the third, beating Iker Casillas in the 36th from a Madrid turnover.
Sergio Ramos gave the two-time defending champions hope in the 56th, but Henry, Messi and Gerard Pique sealed the "clasico" to give Barcelona the most goals it has ever scored at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
"We showed we deserve to be champions," Messi said. "We were superior."
Barcelona, whose last silverware was a Champions League-league double in 2006, was also likely to have boosted its confidence ahead of Wednesday's Champions League semifinal at Chelsea. The teams drew 0-0 in the first leg.
Casillas single-handedly kept Madrid within touch as the Spanish international made a handful of spectacular saves, including on Xavi Hernandez after just 30 seconds.
Madrid had the 80,000 spectators cheering after Ramos broke past Eric Abidal to cross into the area from the right, with Higuain clear to score his 19th goal of the season.
But Madrid couldn't keep Barcelona's high-powered offense at bay, and Messi lofted a perfect pass over Ramos in the 18th for Henry to move free on goal along the right before sliding the ball past Casillas.
"After 0-1 we got the ball back and went straight out to score," Guardiola said. "That was the tonic."
Fabio Cannavaro then fouled Henry along the goal line moments later, and Puyol was unmarked in front of the six-yard(meter) box to head home Xavi's free kick for his first goal of the season.
Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes was equally up to the challenge as he kicked out an effort from Arjen Robben in the 22nd and prevented Daniel Alves from scoring an own-goal by stopping the ball on the goal line.
Casillas stopped Samuel Eto'o's rising shot in the 27th and twice denied Messi before the winger finally broke through in the 36th.
Xavi poked the ball away from Lassana Diarra and Messi jumped on the loose ball to go clear on goal, picking his spot to flick a left-footed roller past Casillas and inside the far post.
"Pep did something that was tactically incredible tonight, putting Messi in the center forward's role where we knew their center backs would have trouble getting out," Eto'o said.
Barcelona maintained control of the tempo in the second half, but again looked shaky on set plays as Ramos was clear to head in Robben's free kick at the far post to give the crowd hopes of a rally.
But Henry re-established the two-goal cushion two minutes later.
The France striker beat the offside trap and reached Xavi's through ball ahead of a charging Casillas well outside the area to volley past the Madrid keeper into an empty goal.
Messi scored his 23rd of the season in the 75th after Xavi put him clear on goal to score with a shot inside the near post.
Pique completed the rout after he swiveled to send his own rebound past Casillas from a tight angle in the 83rd, capping Barcelona's most decisive win at Bernabeu since Johann Cruyff led the Catalan club to a 5-0 win here 35 years ago.
According to reports in the Spanish media on Friday the deal was agreed during a dinner meeting between Barcelona president Joan Laporta and Inter president Massimo Moratti in Milan on Thursday night.
Sweden striker Ibrahimovic is Barcelona's first marquee signing since Barcelona became the first Spanish club to win the treble last season.
Belarus midfielder Hleb will head to the San Siro on loan for the upcoming campaign.
Moratti said that the impromptu meeting with Laporta - and Barcelona sporting director Txiki Beguiristain - was originally intended to tie up left back Maxwell's ?4.5 million ($6.4 million) transfer to Barcelona and complete Hleb's move.
"We obviously talked about other things because for them it was interesting to know something about Ibrahimovic," Moratti said. "We also spoke about Eto'o to understand if it's possible to do a deal with these two players. If an operation of this kind was carried out, it would regard both players."
Eto'o had already rejected a lucrative offer from Manchester City this summer. The Cameroon striker instead opted to stay and let his contract run out so he could leave the Camp Nou without a transfer fee at the end of next season despite Barcelona offering a two-year extension to his current deal.
Barcelona agreed to extend the 28-year-old Eto'o's vacation time as it sought a replacement. Valencia's David Villa was linked with a potential move but Barcelona was unwilling to meet Valencia's 50 million ($71 million) asking price for the Spain striker.
Atletico Madrid's Diego Forlan was also thought to be a target.
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola originally wanted to sell the volatile Eto'o last summer after saying the three-time Africa footballer of the year would not factor into the club's plans.
But Eto'o - who won three league championships, two European Cups and one Copa del Rey title in five seasons at the Catalan club - won Guardiola over with 34 goals in 50 appearances last season, including the winner in the Champions League final victory over Manchester United. That victory allowed Barcelona to become only the fifth European team to win the treble.
The 27-year-old Ibrahimovic, who led Serie A with 25 goals last season, guided Inter to three straight Serie A league titles since a 12 million ($17 million) move from Juventus in 2006. The former Ajax player has scored 21 goals in 58 appearances for Sweden.
Hleb played a minor role in Barcelona's success last season, often coming on as a substitute to make 34 appearances in his first season after a transfer from Arsenal.
First of all, the letter was originally placed on a blog that had been newly created on wordpress.com. It wasn't linked up to any legitimate sources and wasn't even written in proper English. Then it got picked up by some media outlets, got on twitter as a trend and the rest was history.
Why this was taken seriously is beyond me. I actually agree with the mainstream guys when stuff like this happens but everyone needs to not be so god damn gullible. We'll believe anything we see on the internet.... Anyway, here is the original letter with some corrections provided by another no name blogWhats the deal with Bar-Bee and gangsta rapper The Game. People are beginning to talk regarding her liaison with him.
The sexy dancehall diva has been spending a lot of time in Los Angeles, California these days, hanging out with Billboard riding rapper and actor, The Game. In fact, people are beginning to wonder whats the deal with the two. Is the reggae princess hooking up with the gangsta rapper? The question was posed to her and she only laughed and said she has learnt her lesson the last time.

The Ministry of Health will be launching an investigation into allegations of wanton abuse and mismanagement of an on-call payment facility, specially approved by the finance ministry to compensate public-health nurses and other health workers for the extra work they were expected to perform during the malaria outbreak in 2006.
The Sunday Gleaner understands that approximately $1 billion was paid out under the special-payment mechanism long after the spread of the vector-borne disease had been contained.

You know everyone loves and respects Michael but times change. Its so sad to see Michael gone but it makes a path for a new King of Pop and Im willing to take that on. Theres nobody who can match me in sales and in respect so it only makes sense for me to take over Michaels crown and become the new King. First there was Elvis, then there was Michael, now in the 21st century its Kanyes time to rule. I have nothing but respect for Michael but someone needs to pick up where he left off and theres nobody better than me to do that. I am the new King of Pop. |
The battle pitting Eminem against Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon - which began with Em's "Bagpipes From Baghdad" and continued with Carey's "Obsessed" - took another turn Thursday night (July 30), when Slim Shady dropped a new dis track against Mariah called "The Warning."
Before he starts rapping, Em tells Carey, "Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me. Now I'm pissed off."
He doesn't stop there. "You wanna hear something wick wack?/ I got the same exact tattoo that's on Nick's back," the Detroit MC says a few seconds into his rap.
"Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee?/ Wow Mariah, didn't expect ya to go b---s out./ B---h, shut the f--- up before I put all those phone calls out/ When you was wilding out/ Before Nick, when you was on my di--."
From there, Em goes onto graphically describe what he alleges was his one full sexual encounter with Carey, labels her a "liar" and other ugly names, and threatens to reveal personal pictures and phones messages he has of the Carey. Eminem then plays bits of what sounds like it could be Carey's voice at the end of song: The unidentified woman refers to herself as "Mary Poppins."
"[If] you gonna ruin my career, you better get one," Em advises Nick Cannon.
In recent weeks, all three parties have denied any hard feelings: When asked about his angry blog post about "Baghdad," Cannon emphasized there was never any beef; Em has the song's lyrics were "misinterpreted"; Carey and Cannon both denied that the male-stalker character she plays in the new video for "Obsessed" - a character with a striking resemblance to Eminem - was supposed to be a parody of Slim Shady.
Carey has denied having a previous relationship with Eminem; Eminem has insisted there was one.
"My wife doesn't beef," Cannon told MTV News recently. "She's Mariah Carey. She's not beefin', she's a vegetarian. People keep saying ['Obsessed'] was directed at certain people. To be completely honest, she did the record 'cause she's a huge fan of this movie 'Mean Girls,' and there's a line in the movie where one of the girls is like, 'Why are you so obsessed with me?' She says that at the beginning of the song, and that's where the concept came from. But, you know, art imitates life."
Carey told MTV News, "Everybody started having their own speculations about who the stalker [in the video] was. I'm like, look, when I look at that stalker and me with the beard and the whole nine yards, I look like my cousin Chris. I do. I look like my brother and my cousin Chris. So basically, you know, all the speculation about who I'm playing in the video, it's not accurate."

Banton's Outburst drew a mixed reation from the Weddy Weddy socialites present at this special Uptown weddy weddy,the first of a series of themes parties to be held at the Burlington Road headquarters of Stone Love for the duration of the summer.There were those who loved the ray,knowing that Junior Reid had stated to Richie B on hot 102 and in Chat! that Buju had disrespected his daughter at the stage show,Best Of The Best, In Florida,reffering to Junior Reid as Junior Greed.This response incensed Reid who later,as he put it,"run him(buju) wey" when he later hailed him up.
In an interview with Chat! last week,however,Junior Reid had stated boldly that he"forgive buju for the disrespeck".He noted while he was disappointed with the banton's unwarranted behaviour,he would not hold anything against his fellow artiste.
Chat! is uncertain of the impact buju's latest outburst will have on the relationship between the two,however,it is hoped that this will be the end of the matter,and this drama will not escalate

"What is wrong with Jamaica, has the country gone mad?" My Friend P asked last week as the chatter about the media personality, actor and actress 'true blue' videos being transmitted by email and via Bluetooth technology on cellphones took on its own life.
Before we explore the insanity of these incidents last week, it is time for us to do the official are you old check. If you did not get an email of these steamy videos it is final. You are old. Yup, you are so out of it that you did not know a soul who was in the circle of 'know' who got this mail.
No clueIt also means that even if you did know people who got the mail - they had so much respect for you [this also reads 'you are old!'] that they would have felt a bit cute sending it to you - so they didn't. And God forbid if you are now reading this column and you live in Jamaica and you have no clue what we are talking about - you are old, grey, decrepit and on the verge of senility. Wake up and pay attention!
Oh, you all want to know where I fall. Well, somewhere in between. Didn't get the damn mail! Though, this might have something to do with my announcement to all my associates that I do not read FWD email unless it is at work. FWD email gets an instant delete from me. But I did hear about the stories on the 'vine'.
Sex-education classI have a couple of things to say to the stars in these videos.
1. Maybe they forgot to mention it in the sex-education class when you guys were at school, or when your parents gave you the birds and the bees talk but figure this: Copulation [sex] is a private act. Private: a state in which one is not OBSERVED or disturbed by others. [Oxford].
2. When you are kids it is one thing, but when you HAVE kids, you owe it to them to even pretend in public that you are a half respectable and decent person. Now, this is not suggesting that sex itself is indecent, but how many of us even as adults find comfort in conjuring an image of our parents having sex? Nope. We do not wrap our minds around our parents as sexual beings unless you come from some incestuous family!
Passing aroundThe reality of these videos perplexed me quite a bit. Because I was, and still am, unable to understand what would possess someone to first tape themselves having sex, and second, to keep the recording so carelessly that someone else might get it! I realised that I was in a generational void on this issue as many young people [read as people 25 and under] were not that bent out of shape about the recording but were more concerned about the perpetual passing around of the obscene video. Of course, these were people who not only watched the videos at length but had no qualms about themselves sending it around to their friends to have a gawk at the actor, actress and media personality in the throes of private-made-public passions.
Old technologiesOne thing for sure is that the advent of new, now old technologies in the form of Big Brother Internet, camera phones and the Star Trek feature of Bluetooth transference, the word and the notion of privacy as we once knew it has changed dramatically. Which further begs the common sense of recording such a private affair, unless, of course, the real plan was to share it with a couple of friends. And I cannot help but think that this was the sick ultimate plan.
Clearly, morality as we know it is changing at rates that the society can hardly even come to terms with. Or am I just a prude? My heart bleeds for the children of these now forever to be labelled Porn Stars - it is the kind of thing that must make one want to trade in a parent!
A man and his dog were severely beaten by residents of Tilston district, Trelawny, following accusations that he tried to lure little kids away by using toys.
Information reaching THE STAR is that last Friday, the man and his dog was chased, held and beaten after it was alleged that two dolls were used to lure a five-year-old girl out of her yard. It is claimed that the accused man was spotted taking her to a section of the community known as 'Mango Bush'.
An alarm was raised and when the man was accosted, he reportedly told the residents that he was taking her there to to pick mangoes.
THE STAR heard that while explaining himself, the man suddenly made a dash and tried to flee the group of residents who gave chase.
The 40-year-old man ran with his dog beside him for a short distance before he was accosted and beaten by the residents who accused him of being a potential paedophile.
broken leg
Iron pipes, sticks and pieces of wood were used to inflict a number of blows on the man who was left to suffer a broken leg and hand along with other injuries.
"... Him si di pickney inna har yard and trick har wid two dolly," one resident, Kevin Patterson, said.
The angry residents also turned their wrath to the man's dog that stuck by his master's side while he was being beaten. Patterson added: "A lucky all di dog lucky cause a bun wi did ago bun him cause him a part a it to." The fortunate canine, however, escaped alive from its portion of the beating.
According to the resident this was the third time in two months that the man has been accused of using toys to lure kids from their homes. They also said that he is known to walk around which a bag of toys that are for sale.
Residents told THE STAR that on the first two occasions, the children were sent home by residents and the man given a stern warning.
About three weeks ago, residents said a six-year-old boy was seen in the company of the man also heading to Mango Bush. In that incident, the boy was seen with a toy truck and a water gun. The youngster later told residents he was promised the toys if he followed the man to Mango Bush.
The Area One police confirmed the incident and told THE STAR they will be looking to speak with the accused man because of the information they have received.
"We have spoken to a number of residents and the information we have is disturbing to say the least," Inspector Marcus Young of the Area One police told THE STAR.
This is what he told MTV today...
