Really DUMB, ashlee!

But then , nobody's ever accused her of being noble laureate material. Posing for Playboy can only help her career and yet she can't see this. $4 million is a lot for anybody's ass and she should have jumped that anyone would throw that kind of cheddar at her. I'd pose for half that...but then, Playboy hasn't offered.

from ONTD:

TMZ has learned that Ashlee Simpson has turned down a $4 million offer to pose for Playboy. In Touch Weekly first reported the offer, and said the pop star was considering it.

TMZ spoke with Rob Shuter, Ashlee's publicist, who confirmed that Ashlee did indeed receive an offer to pose in the legendary men's mag -- but turned it down.

A source close to Ashlee told TMZ the offer was big -- $4 million to be exact. A newly glammed Simpson is currently on tour promoting her recent album, "I Am Me."

Milla mulls over motherhood (KP International)

Multi-talented Milla Jovovich recently confessed she's thinking more and more of adding motherhood to her list of achievements which include model, designer, actress and singer/songwriter.

"I'm getting to that place where I want to think about kids and family and stopping the totalitarian machine that is my life," said Jovovich to Britain's Independent newspaper. "I'm 30 now and I still feel like a kid, but my mother had me when she was 24."

Jovovich's mother, who doubles as her agent, set a good example for the 'Resident Evil' star. "My mother wanted the best for me and wanted me to learn everything possible, and to educate me in everything possible," she said. "Every last dollar was spent on lessons for me acting, ballet, piano, anything you could imagine. I really felt the pressure of needing to create something to help my family. It was like I had to do my share of the work."

Apparently Jovovich, who has already been married and divorced twice, is supposedly sporting a sizable rock on her engagement finger, so perhaps motherhood isn't too far off?

------------I guess she's engaged to Paul W.S. Anderson (who directed her in Resident Evil.) It's a little weird how nobody hears anything about her now, except for these little useless blurbs.

If Lindsey denies it, well......

I'm inclined to believe her.

• Lindsay Lohan From cute child actor to svelte blonde to redheaded bombshell and Hollywood star.He claims they did — but her furious rep is blasting that story as a publicity stunt. Judd, of the group McFly, is saying that the two had a tryst while filming “Just My Luck,” in which McFly has a cameo. Lohan had flirted with a few members of the band, they claim, and they all went to a night club where she singled out 20-year-old Judd. “Then she said, ‘Kiss me.’ I was really nervous, I can tell you, because she’s so super successful and talented. I thought, ‘This is awesome,” Judd told the London Daily Mail. “Then she invited me back to her hotel, I left at eight the next morning.’”

For about a year, Judd has denied buzz that the two had a fling, but a single on the group’s new album is rumored to be about her. One line of the song “Please, Please, Lindsay, Please!” goes: “You love yourself more than you love me.”

“He’s using these lies for publicity,” Lohan’s rep, Leslie Sloane, tells the Scoop. “It’s convenient how he’s making up these stories when he has an album coming out.”

Madonna alienating her fans

Madonna has failed to sell out the first night of her British tour.

The singer is performing at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on July 30, and although most of the cheaper £55 and £70 tickets have been sold, organisers are having trouble selling the more expensive £150 seats.

A tour insider told The Mirror, "Madonna should be the hottest ticket of the year, but for many of her loyal fans the prices are outrageous."

Even when she tries to get good press, it ends up backfiring.

The interview with Matt Lauer? It blew up in her face.

And, now, her new photo shoot and interview with OK! magazine is proving to be just as disastrous for the former pop star.

Reports Page Six:

BRITNEY Spears was shocked - shocked! - by the reaction to her wretched NBC interview with Matt Lauer (87 percent of people polled in Us Weekly had less respect for Spears after the chat). So she attempted damage control. Spears had a photographer take pretty pictures of her - this time with professional hair, makeup and wardrobe. And despite tearfully begging for privacy, saying she hates media attention, and calling the celebrity weeklies "trash" in the interview, Spears then tried to sell the photos and an "exclusive" interview to those same trashy weeklies for $200,000. There were no takers. OK! finally bought the shots and the interview for a measly $5,000. A rep for the magazine declined comment but did say, "Who doesn't love a discount?"

Poor Britney. It's time to move back to Louisiana and just be out of the spotlight for a real long time!

Anna Nicole Smith's Rival Dies at 67

Monday Jun 26, 2006 7:45am ESTBy Stephen M. Silverman

E. Pierce Marshall, who battled for years with Anna Nicole Smith over his late father's estate, has died. He was 67. According to a statement from family spokesman David Margulies, Marshall died unexpectedly Tuesday evening in the Dallas area from a brief and extremely aggressive infection. "The family would politely request that their privacy be respected during this extremely difficult time as they grapple with this devastating loss," the statement said, according to the Associated Press. Smith married Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994, when she was 26 and he was 89. He died the following year. Since then, E. Pierce Marshall has been locked in a legal battle over Smith entitlement to the estate.

The U.S. Supreme Court last month revived the former Playmate's pursuit of her late husband's oil fortune, ruling that she deserves another day in court. The colorful case has had twists and turns. Smith won a $474 million judgment, which was cut to about $89 million and eventually reduced to zero. "Mr. Marshall leaves behind a legacy of being, first and foremost, a remarkable husband, father and grandfather, a successful business visionary and a man of unrivaled perseverance and principle," the Margulies statement said.

Here's how Nicole could marry in a Catholic Church

And I thought it was because being married to crazy Tom Cruise who probably never touched her. So she's seen as just living in sin then? TC had to know this, it's all part of his evil crazy master plan. At least he had the decency to let her have her wedding, which she has had before him, by not releasing photos of his cabbage patch doll, er, supposed offspring.

off of BBC news:

How did Nicole Kidman, one-time spouse of Tom Cruise, get re-married in a Catholic church if she didn't have an annulment? Clue: she wasn't actually married before.

Nicole Kidman's wedding to country singer Keith Urban in Sydney at the weekend drew plenty of media attention.

But some Catholics will have looked on perplexed at how the former bride of actor Tom Cruise managed to tie the knot for a second time, in a Catholic church.

It was widely reported in the run up to the weekend wedding that Ms Kidman had received an annulment for her previous marriage - the Catholic Church's procedure for allowing a follower to wed again.

Father Paul Coleman, who conducted the latest nuptials, was said to have advised the Oscar-winning actress on the dissolution.

In fact, Kidman didn't need an annulment for one simple reason: in the eyes of the Catholic Church her 10-year union with Tom Cruise, a renowned Scientologist, never happened.

WHO, WHAT, WHY?

A feature to the BBC News Magazine - aiming to answer some of the questions behind the headlinesThe original wedding was performed in the Church of Scientology and wasn't recognised by the Catholic faith.

The divorce granted to the couple in 2001 was a legal rather than religious procedure for Kidman.

So Kidman would only have had to have obtained a licence from the Catholic Church saying that she was legally free to marry and that the Church had not recognised her first marriage.

Not recognised

"The Catholic Church sets down requirements to have a valid Catholic marriage. In the case of Nicole's first marriage, those requirements were not fulfilled," said Father Coleman, who married Kidman and Urban.

The Vatican is unhappy about annulment rates in the USKidman had dabbled with Scientology and Father Coleman talked of her Catholic wedding in terms of a spiritual homecoming.
Annulment is, nevertheless, controversial in some Catholic circles. How can the Church rule a marriage never really happened, especially if it's been a long one and generated children?

The Catholic Church began to make annulments easier to get in the 1970s, adding a category of "psychological grounds", which includes "lack of due discretion" - in other words, an applicant might claim they'd not fully appreciated the responsibilities of marriage.

Today, this category - which also takes in "psychological incapacity assuming the obligations" - is the main grounds upon which annulments are granted.

Complex

Lack of due discretion centres on the question of what it is that couples are consenting to when they agree to marry.

Priests say considering a petition for annulment on such grounds is very complex - and requests for annulments are often turned down (in which case an applicant cannot remarry in a Catholic church).

While many in the Church argue priests should be trying to discern a "grave" lack of discretion, some argue that priests, particularly those in the US, are too easy.

According to the Holy See, 43,153 straightforward annulments were granted worldwide, almost 29,000 of which were issued in north America in 2003. This compares with 511 in Great Britain and 304 across Ireland. Many of these were later overturned by the Vatican.

Rome has long been concerned that priests in the US are handing out too many annulments.
The Vatican argues that American culture demands maximum self-fulfilment and that includes what can be expected from a marriage. As a result, more annulments are granted in the US, leaving Rome worried that the Americans are, essentially, letting divorce in through the back door.

For Kidman, however, such difficult questions never needed to be answered.

Justin & Cameron are still together

Or at least that what their spokewhores claim. Only they know what's really going on! Guess we can't count on Justin to save Britney after all.

***

Longtime couple Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz are still going strong, according to a source who vehemently denies a published report that they have split up. "The couple are in fact very much together, as he prepares for the release of his album," says the source, who is close to Timberlake.

"Of course, made-up sources have had them breaking up, getting married and having a baby ever since they began dating over three years ago." Earlier this week, a report claimed that Timberlake – who is slated to release his new album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, on Sept. 12 – had broken up with Diaz. The story cited their age difference – he's 25, she's 33 – one of the reasons why.

However, PEOPLE reports in its new issue that the pair were spotted having a late lunch just last Thursday at Asia de Cuba at the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles. "They were very much focused on each other," says an observer. Source: People

After seeing him everywhere in the press holding hands (and rumours of passionate kissing in public) with heiress Paris Hilton while partying in Toronto last weekend, she had to put an end to their 8 years relationship.

The morning after, he went to meet Stephanie at a Montreal's children hospital where their 3 months old daughter, Romi, was receiving special cares. – oh dear god -The above news is from today's local paper, Le Journal de Montréal

Poor baby doesn’t want to show up in public! Hahaha ! They all had a good laugh, the whole tattoo shop was very amused :)

Any settlement becomes null and void is Keith Urban, uses illegal drugs or alcohol to excess.
The country singer has had to sign a pre-nuptial agreement earning him £350,000 for every year he is with the actress.

The agreement was signed in Los Angeles before the pair flew to Australia where they plan to marry on Sunday. It also says they will have joint custody of any children they have together. But Urban, 38, would be banned from taking them out of the country in which Miss Kidman lives.

That's some prenup alright.

Alas, Voight's plan hasn't met with much success: Jolie has reportedly given the cold-shoulder to his gifts. In related news, the nurturing knockout, 31, reveals that she and Brad Pitt, 42, are already contemplating giving Shiloh, 17-month-old Zahara and 4-year-old Maddox another sibling. "Yeah, yeah. Next we'll adopt," Angelina tells Anderson Cooper in a CNN interview set to air on Tuesday, which, not coincidentally, is World Refugee Day.

The altruistic actress says they haven't yet decided where they'll search for the newest member of their photogenic family, "but we're looking at different countries ... It's gonna be the balance of what would be the best for Mad and for Z right now. It's, you know, another boy, another girl, which country, which race would fit best with the kids."

Meanwhile, as Jolie chitchats about their ever-expanding brood, Pitt is reconnecting with his fans. On Father's Day, he was just about to hop on his motorcycle following a business meeting in Santa Monica when a family approached and asked for a picture, reports TMZ.com.

Paris' Perfume Encounter Stinks

There was a whiff of something unseemly in the air at the launch of Paris Hilton's new perfume, "Just Me," on Friday in New York, but surprisingly enough it wasn't coming from her signature scent.

The New York Daily News says the self-promoting starlet was signing autographs for a mostly female crowd at Macy's when a guy with a mustache appeared at the front of the line (yes, people actually waited in line to get her John Hancock).

Paris asked how he'd like his photo signed. The reply: "Make it out to 'The Guy Who Has My Storage Locker Stuff.'"

According to the paper, the hirsute man in question was none other than David Hans Schmidt, the self-described "Sultan of Sleaze" who acquired oodles of photos, videos, diaries, financial records and other ultra-personal effects belonging to Hilton earlier this year after she failed to pay her storage facility bill.

"That stuff can't be published," a "wide-eyed" Paris purportedly told Schmidt, who replied, "Like your sex video?"

Schmidt, who helpfully brought along a childhood picture of Hilton holding baby sister Nicky to remind her of who he is, was originally asking $20 million for the contents of the locker, but may be willing to sell them back to the "Simple Life" star for the right price.

Hilton has reportedly agreed to meet with the porn peddler in Los Angeles and, perhaps in an attempt to score a discount on her prized keepsakes, graciously autographed his photo, "To David, Love Paris Hilton xoxo."

Britney Spears may insist that her marriage to Kevin Federline is “awesome” — but they sure are giving each other a lot of space.

The couple recently went on vacation in Florida — but they reportedly stayed in separate rooms. Spears and K-Fed spent a whopping $250,000 for a getaway on Aqua Island, according to the upcoming issue of In Touch Weekly, which reports that except for a very public romp on the beach with their 10-month-old son, the two steered pretty clear of each other. In fact, Spears rented two houses so they didn’t have to stay together.

“She did it to get away from Kevin,” a “friend” told the mag. Federline jet skied in South Beach by himself and in the evening, appeared at the club Mansion, where he had a scheduled appearance. Spears didn’t attend, but K-Fed partied with eight friends, drank Cristal champagne, and danced until 3:30 a.m., according to the mag. Despite their problems, a “pal” says, Spears “wants the world to think they’re happier than ever.”

Meanwhile, US Weekly had pros analyze Spears’s body language during that Matt Lauer interview, and when a closed-eyed Spears declared her marriage fabulous, she wasn’t being candid, in the expert opinion of former FBI polygraph examiner and criminal profiler Jack Timarco. “When a person covers or closes their eyes,” said Timarco, “it often means they’re getting ready to tell a lie.”

NEW YORK (AP) - Angelina Jolie says she and Brad Pitt, who have three children including a newborn daughter, are planning to adopt another child. ``Next, we'll adopt,'' Jolie tells CNN's Anderson Cooper in an interview to air Tuesday on ``Anderson Cooper 360'' (10 p.m. EDT).
Jolie, 31, gave birth to daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt in Namibia last month. The couple have two older children, 16-month-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia, and 4-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Announce Impending Marriage
SYDNEY (AFP) -
Celebrity couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have returned to Australia and confirmed they intend to tie the knot soon.

In a simple statement issued through Kidman's publicist Monday, the pair said they had returned home to get married.

"We are very happy to be back in Australia," the film star and country music singer said in a brief joint statement.

"We have come home to celebrate our wedding with our family and friends."

While the date and venue are yet to be confirmed, the star of "The Hours" and "Eyes Wide Shut" is said to be planning a Catholic ceremony in Sydney on June 25.

Father Paul Coleman, a Jesuit priest and religious confidant to the star, refused to confirm details.

But he said he has met Urban, whom he described as a "wonderful chap."
Coleman had previously been quoted as saying a Catholic marriage ceremony would be a "spiritual homecoming" for Kidman, who was previously involved with the Church of Scientology, the faith championed by former husband Tom Cruise.

The priest confirmed Monday that the couple were preparing for marriage in the "tradition of the Catholic church".

"It's not a question of her coming back to the Catholic church. It's about the love and commitment they have for each other," he told AFP.
Australian media have reported that guests have been told to keep their diaries free for most of next week, and that they will only be told of the nuptials 24 hours ahead of the ceremony.

Kidman, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Fund for Women, has reportedly provided guests with a list of charities and asked them to donate rather than present wedding gifts.

Kidman and Urban, both 38, met in January 2005 at a black-tie dinner in Los Angeles sponsored by the Australian government.

Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, who hosted the event, has been indirectly credited for the upcoming celebrations although he has not been invited to the wedding.

He told The Australian newspaper he had followed developments in the couple's relationship "with some interest".

"I can't say I noticed any electricity when they met that night but my wife believes that they looked interested in each other. It's a woman's instinct, I think," he said.

Despite apparently planning to get married in Sydney, the couple intend to live in Nashville, Tennessee, where the Grammy-winning Urban is based.

"I've moved to Tennessee for my personal life. I'm establishing my new home there," Kidman told a press conference in Shanghai on Sunday.
Kidman's children from her 10-year marriage to Cruise, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11, are expected to arrive in Sydney this week.

The couple arrived at Sydney's airport on Monday on Kidman's private Gulfstream jet after a stop in China, where the Oscar-winner was promoting her latest film, "The Lady From Shanghai."

Kidman confirmed her engagement to Urban, who was raised in Australia but born in neighboring New Zealand, last month.

Suri Sighting!

Off of Defamer.com:

Defamer has exclusively received what may be the first* documented sighting of the Miracle Baby, the heretofore suspiciously unseen newborn daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
Writes an operative:

Tom brought the Miracle Baby over to the Amblin compound a couple of Fridays ago to take pictures of the baby with Steven Spielberg. Tom brought two giant black SUVs, a couple of REALLY large bodyguards, Katie, and the baby. I saw it (the M.B.) only from afar, but it looks like a regular baby.

Despite this reader's claims that the baby seemed of "regular" size from "afar," we're not yet willing to surrender yesterday's theory that a gene-manipulating accident rendered the child indefinitely unfit for a public viewing. It seems far more likely that Cruise and Holmes merely borrowed a "show" baby (there have to be dozens lying around the lab) to take on a visit to Uncle Steven, momentarily leaving his staff to contend with the 50-foot, diaper-soiling Colossus rampaging through his compound.

[*Unless, of course, someone else has already seen the baby and written about the experience previously. In that eventuality, we still claim that we have exclusively written nearly all of the words you see above.]

Whatever, Britney.

Spears' Rep Denies Namibia Birth Report

NEW YORK (AP) - Britney Spears, through her press representative, denied a report Friday that she was considering a Namibian birth for her next baby.

``Not true,'' Spears' New York-based publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. Zelnik did not immediately elaborate.

Earlier in the day, Deputy Environment and Tourism Minister Leon Jooste said officials had received an inquiry on behalf of the 24-year-old pop star, who has a 9-month-old son, Sean Preston, with husband Kevin Federline.

``She has shown interest to come over to Namibia,'' Jooste said by telephone from a conference in neighboring South Africa. ``Nothing has been confirmed yet, but there is a definite possibility of that happening.''
Spears, who recently announced she is expecting a second child, has taken a beating in the tabloids, which have questioned her parenting skills. She has been photographed driving with Sean Preston in her lap, and nearly dropped him when she tripped outside a New York City hotel.
In an interview with NBC's ``Dateline'' on Thursday night, Spears said the criticism has crossed the line and that she feels like a ``target.''

``I know I'm a good mom,'' she said.

Spears also said that reports of marital difficulties with Federline are inaccurate.

``He helps me. He has to. I'm (an) emotional wreck right now,'' she said, referring to the fluctuating hormones of her second pregnancy.

Federline, an aspiring rapper, has signed with Five Star Vintage to be the face of the clothing brand's first advertising campaign, the company announced Friday. The campaign was shot in Los Angeles.

He will appear in magazine ads due for release in the September issue of magazines, company spokesman Kenneth Loo told the AP. Five Star Vintage is a division of Blue Marlin Corp.

Spears would probably appreciate some of the peace and privacy that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie enjoyed when their daughter, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, was born last month in the sleepy southwest African nation.
The Namibian government shielded the Hollywood couple from the paparazzi, insisting that visiting journalists obtain permission in writing to cover them.

PALS FEAR FOR SLIMMING HOLMES

New mum KATIE HOLMES has sparked fears for her health after shedding an astonishing two stone (12.7 kilograms) since giving birth to baby SURI on 18 April (06).

The actress' strict diet and exercise regime has been slammed by health experts who insist she should be losing weight more leisurely.
But pals of the former DAWSON'S CREEK star reveal she's desperate to regain her pre-pregnancy figure before marrying TOM CRUISE and will keep pushing herself until she's back to her svelte former self.

A friend tells British tabloid the Daily Star, "Katie has embarked on a hardcore fitness regime and does 200 sit-ups a day, combined with two hours of cardio work before pilates.

"She has eaten healthily since giving birth but now her friends are worried she has dropped two dress sizes in too short a period of time.
"She is rushing around all of the time and is on hand for the baby 24 hours a day.

"Her weight is just rapidly falling off. It can't be good and has got to be very stressful." 06/16/06 20:13 courtesy WENN

I thought she was supposed to be so "GOOD"

I hate midget simpson even more now. She's an idiot. "...From boys..."? What are you, in 9th grade? Does that mean you and your little posse o' pussy had big ol' lesbian sex out there?

SIMPSON GAVE UP ALCOHOL DURING FILM SHOOT

JESSICA SIMPSON used her recent location shoot in New Mexico to purge her body of toxins.

The pop star/actress asked pals to come with her and make sure she stuck to her tee-total tester.

Simpson was shooting EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH and wanted to take the time during the shoot to get healthy.

She explains, "I didn't drink for, like, three months. My friends and I were like, 'OK, we're out of LA, away from everything. Let's cleanse ourselves from boys and Sidekicks (personal organisers) and email.'
"We worked out all the time and drank so much green tea. I'm definitely a lightweight now."

Angelina and her birth experience

Jolie: Birth Experience Was Frightening

NEW YORK (AP) - Angelina Jolie, in her first U.S. interview since the birth of her daughter last month, says the experience was frightening.

``You know, because you're there for the birth, which I wasn't for my first two kids, you're just suddenly terrified that they're not gonna take a first breath,'' the 31-year-old actress says in an interview to air Tuesday on CNN's ``Anderson Cooper 360'' (10 p.m. EDT).

``That was my whole focus. I just wanted to hear her cry.''

Jolie gave birth to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt on May 27 at a private clinic in the resort town of Walvis Bay in Namibia. The baby, healthy and weighing 7 pounds, was delivered by Caesarean section.

In excerpts of the interview, released exclusively to The Associated Press on Friday, Jolie says Brad Pitt was in the operating room for the delivery.
``He was in the operating room, yeah, yeah,'' she tells Cooper. ``And we had amazing doctors. And everybody was so lovely.''

Jolie and Pitt, 42, have since left Namibia with their newborn daughter and two older children: 16-month-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia, and 4-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia.

Both Maddox and Zahara's surnames have been legally changed to Jolie-Pitt after Pitt announced his intention to adopt the children as well.

The actress also acknowledges to Cooper that she gives a third of her income to charity and jokes, ``Yeah, well, I had a stupid income for what I do.''

The Jolie interview will air Tuesday as part of CNN's entire day of programming devoted to World Refugee Day.

Some people just never leave high school.

You knew it had to happen sooner or later. Paris, bitch, please. You've never had your ass beat then handed to you. You wouldn't like it.

LOHAN AND HILTON CLASH IN BAR

Arch-enemies PARIS HILTON and LINDSAY LOHAN became embroiled in another public argument on Monday (12JUN06), when the hotel heiress accused the teen star of dating her ex-boyfriend.

Lohan has been romantically linked to Greek shipping heir STAVROS NIARCHOS III since he split from the socialite in May (06), but she insists she's single.

Gossip site PageSix.com reports Hilton stormed up to Lohan at New York City hotspot Butter, shouting, "I can't believe you and Stavros! You are ridiculous!"

After listening to a series of insults, Lohan responded, "That's how you say hello? I don't need to respond to you," before leaving the nightclub.
Lohan's publicist confirms the report, saying, "Correct. Paris tried to pick a fight with her and started screaming at her, but Lindsay took the high road." 06/15/06 03:43

SIMPSON CAUGHT UP IN SEX TAPE SCANDAL

OJ SIMPSON is at the centre of a new sex tape controversy following claims from a porn promoter that he caught the American football star-turned-actor in a threesome.

DAVID HANS SCHMIDT is selling the footage he states features THE NAKED GUN star on the Internet, but Simpson insists the guy in the video isn't him.

While Simpson's lawyer YALE GALLANTER confirms Simpson was with ex-girlfriend CHRISTIE PRODY and Playboy model PATTY KUPRYS on the night the video was shot in March 2001, he insists the tape is fake.
The attorney says, "This tape is garbage and we can prove it. OJ wouldn't do anything like this."

But Schmidt, the man behind COLIN FARRELL's recent sex tape controversy, insists, "OJ is welcome to say that's not him on the tape... but there's no question in my mind the real OJ is having sex on this tape." 06/15/06 03:43

Ah yes, he gets what he deserves.

As any selfish teenager should. Remember this waste of human flesh? The moron who killed his 14-year-old girlfriend's parents? I hope he gets handed around in prison for a pack of cigarettes. There ARE consequences for your actions, so accept the responsibility for them.

Man Gets Life in Killing of Girl's Parents
By MARK SCOLFORO

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) - A man who killed his 14-year-old girlfriend's parents last fall and then fled the state with the girl pleaded guilty to murder Wednesday and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole.

David G. Ludwig, 19, admitted killing Michael F. and Cathryn L. Borden inside their home in Lititz on Nov. 13 following an argument over his relationship with their daughter, Kara Beth Borden.

Ludwig pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder, reckless endangerment, statutory sexual assault and a firearms violation. He told police he shot Michael Borden in the back of the head, a crime witnessed by Kara's sister. Cathryn Borden also was shot in the head.

After making the plea deal, Ludwig was immediately sentenced to two consecutive life sentences for the murder charges, plus 9 1/2 to 19 years on the other charges.

``By your useless and selfish acts, you destroyed and permanently altered the lives of countless people,'' Judge David Ashworth told him.
Lancaster County District Attorney Don Totaro had been seeking the death penalty.

Investigators concluded that Kara Borden joined Ludwig voluntarily but played no role in the shootings.

Ludwig had little to say in court Wednesday, except to answer the judge's questions.

Ludwig and Kara Borden knew each other through a support group for home-schooled students and tried to keep their relationship secret from her parents, who were displeased with their age difference. Prosecutors said the killings occurred after the Bordens confronted Ludwig the morning they discovered he and Kara Borden had been out all night.
A day after the killings, police caught the two in Belleville, Ind., after Ludwig crashed his parents car into a tree during a high-speed chase. Neither was hurt.

Ludwig's attorney James Gratton said Ludwig was concerned about the effect a trial would have on the community, the families and their churches.

He said Ludwig has been tutoring other inmates in prison.

``He retains the potential to do much good in an institutional setting,'' Gratton said.

HILTON: 'I WANT TO BE ALONE'

Serial dater and socialite PARIS HILTON insists she is through with men and just wants to be by herself.

Hilton appeared on the LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN on Monday (12JUN06) night and insisted she loves being single.
She explains, "I'm single for the first time in my life. I just want to be alone.

"I'm just going out with my sister and my girlfriends. It's cool not having to answer to anyone.

"I've never had time to get to know myself, I always put all of my energy into the man.

"I don't get to spend time on me. I'm just getting to know who I really am, until I can find someone else."

The 25-year-old hotel heiress insists there are no hard feelings between her and former fiance PARIS LATSIS.

She adds, "We're just better as friends. He was a great guy. I just wasn't ready to get married.

"I just want to be single. I love it."

Britney Spears going to Namibia to give birth
Updated: 2006-06-14 17:46

Britney Spears has told NBC's Matt Lauer that she will move to Namibia "in the near future" to prepare for the birth of her second child, a daughter who is due in "late September or early November." Breaking down in tears during the interview, which will be broadcast Thursday on the Today show and Friday on Dateline, Ms. Spears said she is "an emotional wreck" right now. She blames the paparazzi and the false tabloids for her fragile state of mind.

During the wide ranging interview, Ms. Spears denied rumors that her husband of twenty-one months, Kevin Federline, is living in their basement. She also said repeatedly that she is a "good mom," despite the fact that she was photographed driving her SUV with her son, Sean Preston, sitting on her lap.

"I did it with my dad," said Ms. Spears. "I'd sit on his lap and I'd drive. We're country."

For some reason, perhaps he was having a Tom Cruise flashback, Mr. Lauer neglected to mention that at the time the incident had occurred, last February, Ms. Spears had said her son was on her lap because she was trying to escape the paparazzi and didn't have time to buckle him in his seat.

Mr. Lauer did ask Ms. Spears why she had chosen Namibia for the birth of her child.
"Kevin has always been a fan of African-American culture," she replied. "I'm sure he'll feel at home there, rapping with all the natives. Besides, there's lots of quiet unpaved roads where Sean Preston and I can go driving."

Ms. Spears also said that Namibia reminds her of California "because it's on the ocean and there's lots of sand. So if Sean Preston fell off his swing and landed on his head, there's less chance he would be hurt and we'd have those snoops from child welfare up our butts all the time."
Finally, said Ms. Spears, "I heard that Namibia has laws that let celebrities say whether or not journalists are allowed in the country. That's so important, even more important than getting the same villa that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had."

In other news, an autopsy conducted at the request of the U.S. military revealed that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been dead "at least five minutes" before "a few overenthusiastic soldiers" began stomping on his chest and taunting him. (source:pugbus.com)

Hollywood star TOM CRUISE has sent a congratulations card to fellow new dad BRAD PITT - branding him a copycat.

Cruise, who appeared alongside Pitt in INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, has playfully accused the parent of SHILOH NOUVEL of starting a family so he can keep up with his former co-star's new life with KATIE HOLMES and daughter SURI.

He writes, "Congratulations! You're doing a fine job following in my footsteps!"

GIBSON SELLS MANSION BECAUSE OF SPEARS

MEL GIBSON is selling his Malibu, California, mansion because he is sick of the commotion neighbour BRITNEY SPEARS causes, according to media reports.

The PASSION OF THE CHRIST star lives next door to Spears in a gated community and has put his $18 million (GBP10 million) mansion on the market to get away from the beleaguered pop star.

The TOXIC singer has been visited by police and family services this year (06), and also has a steady stream of fans and paparazzi following her every move.

A source tells Australian newspaper the Sydney Daily Telegraph, "People are always hanging around outside the gates and he is worried his kids might get hurt."

Gibson, his wife ROBYN and their seven children are moving to a new home set on a ranch in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains.
The new location is reportedly closer to the $3.7 million (GBP2 million) Catholic church he has built. 06/13/06 03:54 courtesy WENN

The New Drama

RICHARDS GETS HAPPY AMONG ALL THE CONTROVERSY

Former BOND girl DENISE RICHARDS has opened up about her split from CHARLIE SHEEN, and subsequent romance with BON JOVI star RICHIE SAMBORA, insisting she's sick of making other people happy.
The actress split from Sheen earlier this year (06) after a trial separation in 2005 brought the couple briefly back together at Christmas (DEC05).
Divorce proceedings took a nasty turn when papers filed by Richards, documenting Sheen's alleged porn and drug problems, became public.
She then became the target of paparazzi when she started romancing guitarist Sambora, the estranged husband of Richards' pal HEATHER LOCKLEAR.

But the WILD THINGS star insists all the controversy is worth it - because her new life is making her happier.

The mum of two says, "I was always a people pleaser and I just finally got to the point in my life - after having my daughters, and going through a really ugly divorce... my mother (being) sick with cancer - where life is so short and I just want to be happy." 06/13/06 03:54 courtesy WENN

Here are more pics of the Golden Girl and the happy family. You can see Shiloh has her mom's eyes and lips set with her father's face. Angelina and Brad, perhaps the two most beautiful people walking, have had a lovely child but you know what the balance is? With the three of these kids, no matter how hot the rest of us think Brad and Angie are, the kids will never be able to stomach the thought of their parents going at it!

So where are the Suri pics?

Is K-Fed being replaced?

Britney Spears has hired a male nanny — some have dubbed him a “manny” — to help take care of baby Sean Preston, and the buzz is that her hubby is jealous of the hunky new guy in her life.

The manny, who has been identified in reports as either Perry or Henry, was originally hired as a bodyguard, but lately he’s been taking on the role of “man of the house,” according to In Touch magazine, and has been doing chores that had been done by Federline. He was even spotted buying Spears flowers.

“[Federline] doesn’t like that this guy is taking care of his baby,” an “insider” told the mag. “He feels like Britney is throwing it in his face.”
What’s more, Spears reportedly is redecorating her house, ditching Federline’s beloved black leather furniture in favor of a “1950s boudoir” look she favors. “She’s using pink, cream and apricot silk, lace and feathers,” reports the insider. “[Kevin] claims that he can’t think in the house any more and it’s affecting his music. [He] is complaining that the place is ‘some high-school chick's bedroom.’

You guess? Are you sure?

Let's hope it's real!

Speculation over... Britney Spears.Photo: AP
Related coverage

Britney Spears has signed preliminary divorce papers, British reports say.

The pregnant star allegedly signed the documents after consulting lawyers about splitting from her husband, Kevin Federline.
A source told Britain's News Of The World newspaper: "It's a stressful time. Britney has already started seeing lawyers about splitting with Kevin.

"She is serious about it. She knows she has to get things moving."
Spears has been at the centre of months of speculation her marriage is on the rocks.

Last week it was revealed the singer hit out at Federline on her website - by posting a picture of herself posing with a rude hand gesture.
Spears, who has a baby son, Sean Preston, with Federline, put the photo under a poem - entitled Remembrance Of Who I Am - which was allegedly aimed at her 28-year-old spouse.

The verse, believed to be written by the singer, describes feeling tied down in "chains" and asks: "How do you stand sleeping at night?"

It continues with lines about feeling "manipulated" and "swallowed", and talks about "the sins of the Father".

SPEARS AND FEDERLINE ARE STILL TOGETHER, ACCORDING TO PALS

Aspiring rapper KEVIN FEDERLINE's pals have dismissed new tabloid reports suggesting his marriage to BRITNEY SPEARS is almost over.
Spears has reportedly called in divorce counsellors and lawyers as she prepares to end her marriage, but Federline's friends insist the rumours are just that.

One friend, who asked not to be named, tells TMZ.com, "Everything you read in the tabloids about their relationship is fabricated. They're still together."

New reports in American magazine Us Weekly suggest the fact that the celebrity couple haven't been pictured together since March (06) speaks volumes about the state of their relationship.

CLOONEY AND PITT CLOSE DOWN LAS RAMBLAS

GEORGE CLOONEY and BRAD PITT's Las Vegas, Nevada dream is over - their ambitious Las Ramblas hotel complex is dead.

Ten months after its much-publicised launch and following multiple rumours about its demise, the Las Ramblas sales office has been closed and the 25-acre plot of land the hotels, casinos and play areas were to stand on has been sold to the developers of the neighbouring W Hotel, Casino + Residences for a whopping $202 million (GBP112.2 million).
The news has been confirmed by Dan Klores Communications, the New York-based publicity firm representing Las Ramblas.

A spokesman says, "We are no longer dealing with that account as I understand the Las Ramblas project is no longer going ahead."
Vegas insiders claim rising construction costs are behind the decision to shut down the Las Ramblas venture - a project backed financially by Clooney and CINDY CRAWFORD's restaurateur husband RANDE GERBER, and supported by new dad Pitt.

Pitt and Clooney were signed onto a boutique project rumoured to involve Gerber and Station Casinos on the plot of land currently housing the Wild, Wild West Casino.

When the project details were unveiled in 2004, they included 4,400 rooms and 11 high-rise towers.

Sin City property watchers now believe Clooney and Gerber will collaborate on a smaller Las Vegas hotel and casino property designed, in part, by architecture fan Pitt. 06/07/06 04:16

I see that "an inconvenient truth" surpassed the million dollar mark. Well, good for Gore, I suppose, he's actually officially suckered people into supporting him. Again. Let's not forget that this is the same fool who claimed to invent the internet.

What I find truly wrong and annoying is that the film is merely a serious effort at pushing alarmist environmental views down our throats, yet again, by means of emotional manipulation rather than reason. If reasoning were applied, however, it would be clear that over the billions of years of the earth's existence, heating and cooling periods have occured and these things are neither new nor unusual. Thirty years ago, in the 70's, alarmists were screaming that we were headed into a cooling phase. How could that change in a mere 30 years? It's all crap, that's how. The science has not changed, no matter how much the alarmists try to plead with you, guilt you and mess with your feelings. For the real inconvenient truth, click here.
