Hollywood Actress Lindsay Lohan on the set of Machete


Here's a slightly less Gollum-y looking Lindsay Lohan on the set of Machete in Texas yesterday, and I don't know what I'm more surprised by: That Lindsay actually found work, or that she's wearing a nude bra which means she won't go topless on camera. Seriously,
how she's not doing porn by now defies all logic and reason, so you'd think Lindsay would be open to pretty much anything to act in a studio film. Unless, of course, she agreed to have a threesome with Robert Rodriguez and Rose McGowan which, now that I think about it, was probably the case. Forget I said anything.

Hollywood Star Katie Price Accuses Andre Of Album Abuse


Katie Price has claimed Peter Andre is "publicly battering" her to sell records.
The British glamour model is convinced her estranged husband has only branded her "disgusting" and "out of control" to promote his comeback album 'The New Beginning'.

The 31-year-old star - also known as Jordan - told a friend: "I would never slate the father of my children like he has done to me in the last few weeks. How dare he call me disgusting?

Why should I be the pawn in his desperate publicity drive for his music? As for what Pete has said about me recently - well, this is like wife beating.

"Why should I be the pawn in his desperate publicity drive for his music? As for what Pete has said about me recently - well, this is like wife beating."

Despite claiming he would never comment about their split, 36-year-old Peter has given a series of intimate interviews in recent weeks, blasting Katie's partying and new relationship with cage fighter Alex Reid.
An insider told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Kate is fuming about everything Pete has said about her recently. It has been getting nastier and nastier between them for weeks and although Kate is guilty too, she is now hoping that Pete will respect her and say enough is enough."

"Right now Kate feels like Pete is using their divorce to shift albums."

Pop singer Michael Jackson's rumoured final resting place revealed as his death generates £50m in new deals

This unmarked grave is believed to be the final resting place of Michael Jackson.

The star has been buried at the sprawling Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, beneath a mature pine tree and close to his grandmother, Martha Bridges, who died in 1990.

Staff at the Los Angeles cemetery have been told several possible locations to ensure the grave does not become a shrine for grieving fans, so the grave-digging may be a decoy.



And there was still doubt last night over whether Jackson had actually been buried. His death certificate says his remains are at the cemetery in the Hollywood Hills, but describes the location as 'temporary'.


And Jackson's father Joe insisted the family were still undecided over where he should lie.
Joe, 80, wants to build a memorial to the singer in Las Vegas in the style of the star's Neverland ranch. He said: 'I think Vegas would be great. The fans would come.'

Meanwhile Jackson's death has generated almost £50 million in marketing, merchandising and film deals.

The administrators of his estate say interest in the singer's career has soared above expectation.

The biggest deal so far has been the $60 million agreement with sony Pictures to produce a film based on the footage for what was supposed to be the 50-show run of his "This is it" concert at London's 02 arena. The administrators - lawyer John Branca and music executive John McClain - have also signed a $15 million merchandise agreement with Bravado International Group, a division of Universal Music Group.

They have a further $5 million deal with various companies to produce calendars, coins and school supplies and have recouped a similar sum being held by a financial adviser and other parties before Jackson's death on 25 June.

Two planned book deals could earn millions more. The estate is trying to rush out the merchandise to head off a flood of counterfeit memorabilia that is already entering the marketplace, including a shipment of Michael Jackson keyrings from Turkey.

The estate is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars but the singer left debts of about $435 million. Mr Branca said some of the funds raised so far will help clear those obligations.

A poll to mark the 40th anniversary of Woodstock has named Michael Jackson as the most popular performer for Americans in their teens and twenties.

But the overall winners were the Beatles, ahead of acts including Elvis Presley and the Rolling stones. They were in the top four of every age group, and most popular in the 50 to 64 range.

The stones and Coldplay made the top 20, but Led Zeppelin and the Who missed out.

Hollywood Star Tess Daly shows off amazing bikini body... just ten weeks after giving birth

Just ten weeks ago she gave birth to her second child.

But Tess Daly has wasted no time slipping back into a bikini to show off her admirably toned body.

The Strictly Come Dancing presenter joined husband Vernon Kay for a water fight as the weather warmed up at the weekend.


Vernon quickly posted pictures of the event on his Twitter page - no doubt keen to show off his slender wife.

He wrote: 'The water fight got messy! Tears and red marks...Think I threw them a little hard! I'm drenched.

'It ended up being every man/woman for his/her self! I gave in and let the girls win.'
Presenter Vern's pride was certainly justified. Tess's slim and unlined stomach shows no evidence of her recent pregnancy.

She gave birth to 7lb 15oz Amber Isabella on May 29, a sister for Phoebe Elizabeth, now four.

The 38-year-old said she had developed a sweet tooth during her pregnancy, and expected her baby weight to be harder to lose this time.

But with the new series of Strictly starting next month she must have been keen to regain her waistline.

Just two weeks after Amber was born, Tess wrote in a newspaper column how her ‘wardrobe options are expanding as I’m starting to fit into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes’.

But if the evidence of these photos is any indication perhaps it wasn't as hard as she expected.

Hollywood Singer Madonna Won’t Play Jacko Tribute Show


A star-studded tribute concert honouring late superstar Michael Jackson has been thrown into jeopardy after representatives for Whitney Houston and Madonna denied the singers have signed up to headline the show.

Plans to honour the late King Of Pop with a gig in Vienna, Austria next month were confirmed by Jermaine Jackson earlier this week. Jackson is co-ordinating the event with talk show host Larry King's wife Shawn.

Usher, Lionel Richie and Whitney Houston were all confirmed as performers at the memorial show, in the grounds of the city's former imperial Schoenbrunn Palace, by Shawn King's spokesman Howard Rubenstein.

Producer Georg Kindel from World Awards Media, the company behind the event, also hinted that Queen Of Pop Madonna was set to pay tribute to her friend Jackson.

But spokespersons for Houston and the Holiday hitmaker have hit back at reports of the stars' participation in the extravaganza, according to New York gossip column PageSix.

Madonna's rep Liz Rosenberg says, "It's not true. She's still on tour," while Houston's spokeswoman Jill Fritzo adds, "(No). Not that I am aware of."

The concert will be broadcast live on TV and over 85,000 fans will be given the chance to attend. Ticket sales for The Tribute go on sale on 20 August.

Amy Winehouse Wants To Crack US


Amy Winehouse is finally being allowed into the US.

The 'Rehab' singer - who had been banned from entering the country two years ago after being arrested for possession of cannabis and was also denied a work visa months later after being accused of assaulting a fan - is keen to tour America now authorities have relented on their previous decisions.

There is nothing to stop her getting a visa to travel to America. 'Back to Black' was the second biggest-selling album in the world last year and she never had the chance to tour there, so it's on the cards.

A source said: "Amy loves the idea of jetting off to America. She really wants to go to the States and play some shows.

"She knows she has a huge fan base there and would love to boost her profile further and give something back to all the people who buy her records."

Last month, Amy - who won five Grammy Awards in 2008 but had to accept her prizes and perform via video link in the UK because she was refused entry by US authorities - was cleared of the assault which stopped her from getting a work visa two years.
Her spokesperson said: "There is nothing to stop her getting a visa to travel to America. 'Back to Black' was the second biggest-selling album in the world last year and she never had the chance to tour there, so it's on the cards."

The 25-year-old singer recently returned to the UK after an extended break in St. Lucia, where she had been working on her third album away from the distractions of the London party scene.

Katie Price Banned From Looking At Husband


Katie Price's cage fighter boyfriend has banned her from looking at pictures of her husband.Â

Alex Reid reportedly told the glamour model in a blazing argument she is obsessed with estranged husband Peter Andre, and told her to "forget him."Â

A friend said Alex snapped at Katie: "He's the father of your children, and nothing else."

Although the new couple seemed happy on a three day break to Spain earlier this week, friends say they have had a string of arguments since their return.

A friend told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Alex has banned any picture of Pete going anywhere near Katie.

"He told her he needs to be sure she is over Pete if the relationship is going to work.

"They have shouted about it as she isn't used to anyone telling her what to do."

Other sources say Katie, 31, has never been interested in a long-term relationship with Alex, 34, and the couple's arguments will lead to the end of their brief relationship.

forget him.Â

A friend said Alex snapped at Katie: He's the father of your children, and nothing else.

One close friend said: "This has always been about companionship for her, not a serious relationship. But it quickly escalated. She is worried Alex has started to get stars - and pound signs - in his eyes."

The friend added to Britain's News Of The World newspaper: "Jordan feels Alex has pretty much served his purpose and she is worried people are starting to think they are a long-term prospect."
It has also been reported Katie has banned her ITV2 TV crew from filming Alex, as she doesn't want him to appear prominently in her forthcoming reality TV show.
Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.

Intimate pictures from Michael Jackson's family album seen for first time

For decades, he went to extraordinary lengths to shroud his family life in secrecy.

Now with his passing, photographs of the troubled star are emerging online that give a remarkable insight into his world.

These personal photos show a far more normal father and man than any of his bizarre showbusiness appearances of recent years.
In public, he has appeared masked, in a wheelchair or pyjama-clad with dark classes – looking ever more eccentric and grotesque.

If his children were in tow then their faces have always been veiled or covered by strange masks.

But in this personal collection of photographs, which appear to have been taken over the last six years, Jackson seemed happier behind closed doors.
In one shot, the star poses smiling in a red T-shirt decorated with an iconic image of him from the early 1980s.

The picture is not dated but is believed to have been taken five years ago before the star was ravaged by anorexia.

In another collection of images, Jackson sits cuddling his two eldest children Prince Michael Jr, 12 and Paris, 11 in 2003 at a children’s party.
The star looks like any proud father as his little girl, dressed in a Disney-style princess costume dress, sits on his knee.

Draped over his shoulders, eldest son Prince Michael is wearing a skeleton costume and sporting shocking bottle blond hair.

For years, Jackson had dyed the boy’s hair white blond, prompting critics to question whether the star was taking his obsession with being ‘white’ too far by pushing the Aryan look on to his children.
More recent pictures show that the elder children have dark hair but remarkably light skin and blue eyes, which is rare for the offspring of a mixed race relationship.

Their colouring has prompted questions over whether Jackson is actually their father.

In pictures taken from the same party, Jackson and his children are allegedly pictured with the children of close friends Al and Nancy Malnik.
The 76-year-old American millionaire has triplets Jarod, Spencer and Nathan, who are now 11.

Mr Malnik had been friends with the singer for more than ten years and the singer stayed with him at the height of the child abuse scandals.

Jackson is godfather to Spencer, who is understood to be featured in the pictures sitting on the steps of Mr Malnik’s Miami mansion with Paris.
In another set of images taken on the first birthday of the 50-year-old’s youngest child Prince Michael II, he is again seen posing with his brood and Jarod Malnik.

The most recent pictures to emerge were taken just last month showing the star dressed in full 1970s splendour with a sequined suit.

After spending years putting relaxants in his hair to make it appear straighter, he donned an enormous Afro wig to complete the outfit for a friend’s private party.

Mr Malnik and friends were also at the fancy dress bash held in May.

Amy Winehouse makes a disastrous comeback as she abandons St Lucia gig halfway through performance

Amy Winehouse may wish to return to the stage, but it seems the world isn't quite ready for her yet.The troubled singer was apparently forced to abandon a comeback gig in St Lucia after torrential rain hit the island last night.However onlookers claim the real reason Amy left the stage was because the audience booed her shambolic performance.

After taking to stage at the St Lucia Jazz Festival in a tight-fitting blue dress and white high heels, it was reported that Amy, 25, appeared to struggle with her balance and stumbled through the lyrics of her songs.

When the crowd began to jeer, the Back to Black star is alleged to have shouted '**** you' back to the audience at least twice before leaving the stage.

However Amy's spokesman claims the star was forced to abandon the show because of weather conditions which caused technical difficulties.

He said: 'Amy would like to express her disappointment that weather forced the abandonment of her show at the St Lucia Jazz Festival last night।

'Amy and the band tried to soldier on but the set had to be cut short.

'Amy is very disappointed as St Lucia has been wonderful to her and its people have welcomed her with open arms, but circumstances beyond anyone's control meant that this special show did not go as planned.'

But MailOnline reader Victor Phillips wrote: 'I was there. She was booed off the stage.

'If it was the rain why did the act after her perform?'

And Tracey, also writing from St Lucia, said: 'Weather aside, it was not raining when Amy came on stage, it did rain heavily later in her set but that has not stopped previous performers here!

'It was impossible to hear her and what you could hear was BAD! It's very sad to see someone with so much talent waste it.

'The tickets for the event are expensive for anyone and especially local people. Amy needs to take time out and sort her life out. Very disappointing.'

The singer had earlier described it as an 'honour' to be playing in the festival on the island, which seems to have become her second home.

She said in a statement: 'It is an honour to play the St Lucia Jazz Festival this year.

'Since I first came to the island, I have been greeted with nothing but kindness and friendship, as well as incredible music and the most beautiful of settings.

'I have made friends for life and have been inspired by my surroundings.

'The laid-back lifestyle definitely suits me - it's a home from home with great beaches.

'It also is an honour for me to appear on the same bill as great singers such as Chaka Khan and Patti LaBelle as well as great jazz musicians like Monty Alexander and George Duke.'

The 25-year-old is currently spending time recording on the island.

She said performing was a way of saying thank you 'to an island and people that have been so welcoming to me'.

Earlier this month she was taken to hospital in St Lucia after fainting. She was kept in for a night for observation and was found to be dehydrated.

Kelly Brook In Lingerie For Nuts Magazine


Here’s Kelly Brook stripping down to her lingerie for the latest issue of Nuts Magazine.
I find all of Kelly’s spreads are done too tastefully। I wish one of these days she skanks it up a bit. I need a little raunchiness from her otherwise, it’s like I’m looking at a Victoria’s Secret catalogue. Hot but boring…

Cameron Diaz shaves her head in solidarity with cancer-stricken daughter in film adaptation of My Sister's Keeper

Famed for her quirky performances in romantic comedies, Cameron Diaz is set to surprise film fans as she takes a drastically different direction in her new movie.

The actress appears as you have never seen before, playing the mother of three in a moving story about a family living with cancer.

In My Sister's Keeper, adapted from Jodi Picault's best-selling book, Cameron's character Sara shaves off her famous blonde locks in a show of solidarity with her eldest daughter Kate, who is suffering from leukaemia.


The film tells the story of the Fitzgerald family, who conceived their youngest child Anna (Abigail Breslin) as a genetic match for Kate (Sofia Vassilieva).

Since the moment she was born, Anna has donated blood, bone marrow and her umbilical cord to help prolong her sister's life.

In the introduction to the trailer, Abigail provides the voiceover introducing viewers to her character's plight.

She said: 'Most babies are accidents. Not me. I was engineered. Born to save my sister's life...'


After initial surprise that a 13-year-old wants to sue her parents, Campbell comes to understand her predicament and agrees to represent her for free.

The lawsuit threatens to destroy the family and Sara's marriage to husband Brian (Jason Patric) as they fight over how to deal with Kate's illness.

Meanwhile, the couple's son Jesse (Evan Ellingson) is feeling ignored amongst all the focus on his sisters and turns into a pyromaniac.

While Anna and Kate have a strong sisterly bond, the 13-year-old is exasperated when her parents want to to donate her kidney to her sibling when she suffers renal failure.

In a shocking twist which raises questions about the ethics of genetically-engineered 'donor babies', Anna decides to sue her parents to become medically emancipated from her parents so she can take charge of her body.

Anna hires hot shot lawyer Campbell Alexander, played by 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin, to fight her case.




The moving film is expected to become the biggest movie tearjerker this year when it is released this summer.

Author Jodi recently admitted fans of her book may be surprised because film producers had changed the ending for the big screen.

She said: 'Having the ending changed would certainly not have been my choice. I wrote the ending very intentionally because I wanted to leave the reader with a certain message. And changing that ending changes that message.

'However, I am excited to see the movie and to judge it on its strengths.'

The film also stars Thomas Dekker, 21, as Kate's first love and fellow cancer patient, and Joan Cusack as the judge who oversees the trial.

The film is set for release in the UK on June 26.
