Kate Winslet's No Nudity Vow




Kate Winslet won't appear naked in a film again.

The actress - who is nude for most of her scenes in Holocaust drama 'The Reader' - doesn't want to strip off in front of the cameras for anymore roles.

She said "I don't think I will get naked in a movie again. I can't keep getting away with it and I don't want to become 'that actress who always gets her kit off'.

The 33-year-old star - who has two children Mia, eight, and five-year-old Joe - has appeared nude in 10 films, including 'Titanic', 'Hamlet' and 'Little Children'.

Despite her vow, Kate - who is nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards on Sunday (22.02.09) - previously claimed will only bare all if it enhances a scene.

She said I've always felt, because I have done a lot of nudity, very fortunate to have really and truly believed in those relationships and those very intimate moments.

"In every single case I feel that any level of nudity in the films that I've been a part of has been absolutely relevant and has actually really enhanced the story."

Kate's penchant for celluloid stripping hasn't gone unnoticed by her fellow actresses.Halle Berry - who flashed her flesh for her Oscar-winning role in 'Monster's Ball' - said "Kate Winslet is always naked, sitting on a toilet, or running buck naked. I want to be the kind of actress who can really be comfortable with my body like that.

Madonna Hearing To Be Public




Madonna and Guy Ritchie's custody hearing will be made public.

The legal meeting to decide the arrangements for their two sons - Rocco, eight, and David, three - has been moved to the New York Supreme Court.

Unlike English family law court cases, the inquiry - which will take place on March 2 - will be open to the general public.

Madonna - who also has a daughter, Lourdes, 12, from a previous relationship - is planning to move to New York with her children and needs US courts to ratify a custody deal negotiated in London.

A source said "There is going to be a hearing next month and the papers that have been filed will be available then.

"The New York hearing will confirm the English proceedings. There will be revelations, but the divorce remains amicable and intelligently handled."

She will be forced to provide the court with details about her divorce proceedings, including financial arrangements and demands for her sons' welfare.

Paris Hilton wants ex-lover Benji Madden back



Paris Hilton is reportedly desperate to win back ex-lover Benji Madden.
The hotel heiress - who split from the Good Charlotte rocker last November - has been consumed by jealously after seeing pictures of Benji spending Valentine's Day (14.02.09) with US singer Katy Perry.

A source said "Paris still has very strong feelings for Benji and seeing those pictures has really hurt her - especially as they were taken so close to her birthday. She is determined to get Benji back and she is not going to let anyone or anything stand in her way."

Benji and Katy spent the romantic day together in Las Vegas, although the 'Hot n Cold' singer has since claimed they are just good friends.

She said "It's two pseudo famous people sitting next to each other... doesn't mean we were bumping uglies! You know I don't just do that with anyone!

"I was there celebrating a really fun show and a boozy Valentine's Day with all my good friends. We were like a group of 25! Benji is a nice young fellow, but my heart really belongs to my cat."

Shortly after Paris separated from Benji, the blonde socialite admitted she still had strong feelings for the musician.

chris brown death threat

Chris Brown Choked, Made Death Threats Against RihannaProsecutors said Tuesday they want more evidence from police before determining whether to press charges against Chris Brown, but the details surrounding the case continue to grow more and more damning for the 19-year-old singer.

Earlier reports claim that pop singer Rihanna, the 20-year-old girlfriend and alleged victim of Brown’s alleged attack, suffered “horrific” injuries including bite marks, major contusions on her face, a split lip and a bloody nose.

E! News quotes an unnamed source as saying that Rihanna has alleged to police officers that Brown choked her while threatening to kill her and that she subsequently lost consciousness.

She was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and later released.

E! Online reports that police took two sets of photos of the singer, one at the scene, the other in the hospital.

The Los Angeles District Attorney yesterday asked police officers to conduct further investigations, after being presented with the case against Brown, who has been charged with making criminal threats.

While the police have not officially said that Rihanna, real name Robyn Fenty, was the victim of the alleged attack, unnamed police sources told the Los Angeles Times that she was.

The only statement released by Rihanna's publicist said: "Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support."

Brown was arrested Sunday night after surrendering to police, who sought the 19-year-old singer when a woman claimed she had been attacked by Brown during a fight.

According to E!, the couple began quarrelling after leaving Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party late Satuday night. According to TMZ, the fight began when Brown received a text message from another woman.

When the fight escalated, Brown allegedly pulled over to the side of the road in L.A. Rihanna then reportedly grabbed the keys and tossed them out of the window.

Brown tried to find the keys, according to the report, but became enraged when he couldn’t. He returned to the car and then allegedly put his hands around her neck screaming “I’m going to kill you!”

Rihanna reportedly told police that she lost consciousness temporarily, and when she awoke, Brown was gone.

There have been conflicting reports as to who placed the 911 call, attributing it to Rihanna and an unnamed passerby.

According to several news sources, police took photos of Rihanna’s injuries at the scene, which would likely be used as evidence in a case against Brown.

Brown was booked Sunday on suspicion of making a criminal threat, a felony. Police have said that prosecutors would determine what charges, if any, were warranted.

The district attorney's kicking the case back to police could signal that prosecutors are seeking to build stronger charges against Brown; or it could mean the current evidence is too flimsy or has holes that would drop it to a misdemeanor or make it go away altogether, Loyola University law professor Stan Goldman said.

Brown remains free on $50,000 bail.

The allegations have at least momentarily tarnished Brown's squeaky-clean image. Chewing gum maker Wrigley has suspended ad campaigns featuring the singer.

WAKS-FM, a Cleveland-area radio station has stopped playing Brown's music until the allegations are resolved after outraged listeners called to criticize the singer. Stations in Pittsburgh and Indianapolis also reportedly pulled Brown's music.

Brown has withdrawn from public appearances in Phoenix scheduled for this weekend before the NBA All-Star game. Rihanna on Tuesday postponed a planned concert in Malaysia.

Brown and Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, skipped planned performances at Sunday's Grammy Awards, leaving fellow recording artists to try to make sense of the allegations.

Kanye West, who toured with Rihanna, said on Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show Tuesday morning that the reports of abuse were "devastating."

"I feel like, just as a person, I don't care how famous she is or even if she just worked at McDonald's, that should never happen," West said on the show, which is broadcast on KIIS-FM in Los Angeles. "It should never come to that place."

amber rose model Dating with Kanye West

Kanye West may have met someone who can handle his ego for more than 5 minutes and It seems rapper Kanye West likes girls who like to take their clothes off - and that explains why he left an LA club with model Amber Rose.

Kanye West was all over model Amber Rose while partying at Foxtail in Los Angeles. There with a group of friends, the rapper was sitting atop a couch as Rose danced between his leg’s to Beyoncé’s hit “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it).” The duo got affectionate as friends snapped pictures, and West kissed her cheek. The only time they broke from their PDA? When the deejay spun his tunes “Stronger” and “Love Lockdown” – making their group dance like crazy.

The big headed singer has hooked up with model Amber Rose, someone who also has a rather interesting sense of taste herself.

Kanye and Amber Rose were spotted at after-party for the Narciso Rodriguez fashion show held in the penthouse of New York’s Gramercy Hotel last night. Rose sported cropped hair, and bright red skin tight pants.

Kanye West, whose blog was recently hacked, might have a thing for chicks who like to "shake their booty" with model Amber Rose, who is well known for that.

hayden panettiere pregnant??

Hayden Panettiere just broke up with her “Heroes” co-star Milo Ventimiglia within the last week. Now, words are coming out that a pregnancy scare may have caused their recent split.

No definite reason was given, other than the hopefully obvious one: He's 31, the age when many people give serious thought to making their mark on the world, and she's 19, an age where some still struggle to make it through certain biology lectures without giggling.

"They lead different lifestyles," a source close to the couple told People.com. "She still has growing up to do and he's very low-key," a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. "The relationship never seemed like it had legs." Plus, did we mention he's 31 and she's 19, for crying out loud? The pair started dating in 2007.

Hayden and Milo ended their romance after dating for more than a year. And according to the Chicago Sun-Times, the split was caused by a pregnancy scare. The test proved negative, but apparently caused friction that sparked the breakup, reports the publication.
Previously, it was reported that Hayden and Milo called it quits, citing “lifestyle conflicts” as the reason for the split. “It was a lifestyle conflict,” a source said. “They were in very different places.” But the source revealed the pair “are still on friendly terms. There are no hard feelings.”

Earlier reports had Panettiere and Ventimiglia parting due to lifestyle conflicts, with the couple often regularly apart due to work commitments.

Brooke Mueller Fine After Premature Contractions

Another prenatal scare for Brooke Mueller and another possible image-buster for Charlie Sheen.

Mueller is thankfully doing fine after being hospitalized Tuesday, Sheen's publicist, Stan Rosenfield, confirms.

Experiencing premature contractions, Brooke Mueller is said to be fine following hospitalization on Tuesday, February 17. In a statement issued to US Weekly, Stan Rosenfield, a representative for Brooke's husband Charlie Sheen confirmed Brooke "is expected to be released from the hospital" later that day.

"Brooke Mueller Sheen was taken to a Los Angeles area hospital Tuesday morning after experiencing premature contractions, which is not uncommon at this stage of a pregnancy carrying twins," Rosenfield said in a statement. "She is expected to be released from the hospital today."

Prenatal scare, in fact, isn't something new for Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller. Back in September 2008, Brooke underwent emergency gall-bladder surgery, described as a routine procedure but one that carries extra risk for both mom and baby during the first trimester of pregnancy. She was treated at the hospital for five days before then being discharged.

Broke is expected to give birth to the twins she is carrying in April. The twins will be her first children and the fourth ones for Charlie who has two daughters, Sam and Lola, from his failed marriage to Denise Richards, and another daughter, named Cassandra, with former girlfriend Paula Profit.

Mueller, who swapped vows with Sheen last May, underwent emergency gall-bladder surgery in September, a routine procedure but one that carries extra risk for both mom and baby during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Julia Roberts: my kids keep me too busy to make films

Julia Roberts has said she’s more than content making less films now that she’s a mum because she’s got more than enough to do at home to fill her time.

The Closer star has typically made two to three films a year since she hit Hollywood in the late 1980s - but has cut back over the last few years, since the arrival of twins Hazel and Phinnaeus in 2004, and son Henry in 2007.

She told Allure magazine recently: “I will never be bored again. [Husband Danny Moder] and I talk about, ‘What did we do with all the time we must have had?’ Because you don’t recognise it as such until you have all these little… time thieves running around your house.”

As the children grow, she’s spending a lot of time sorting out boo-boos: “We get a lot of splinters in our house. A [trick for a] splinter is just a good light, a pair of tweezers and a lot of singing songs and passing the time: ‘La-la-la, now listen, if you eat all of your dinner, it’s distraction and extraction.’”

She added that she and Danny, who she married in 2002, make sure the children know they’re loved by their mum and dad - and their mum and dad love each other: “The coolest thing you can do for your children is to love each other in their presence. I’m the luckiest girl in town, I really am.”

Meet 'full-time mom' Julia Roberts

Hollywood actress Julia Roberts has said that she is enjoying her domestic life because her three children keep her so busy, she's never bored’.


The Pretty Woman star spent last year away from the limelight, raising her kids with husband Danny Moder; four year old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and Henry, 20 months. However, the Oscar-winning actress insists that she doesn't miss life as a high-profile star because she simply doesn't have time to think about it.


"I will never be bored again. Danny and I talk about, ''What did we do with all the time we must have had?'' Because you don't recognise it as such until you have all these little...time thieves running around your house," the Daily Express quoted her, as telling Allure magazine . And being a fulltime stay-at-home mum has turned the actress into a domestic goddess with a remedy for all ailments.

"We get a lot of splinters in our house. A (trick for a) splinter is just a good light, a pair of tweezers and a lot of singing songs and passing the time: ''La-la-la, now listen, if you eat all of your dinner, it's distraction and extraction,” she added.

Julia also revealed the reason behind her family's happiness. "The coolest thing you can do for your children is to love each other in their presence. I'm the luckiest girl in town, I really am," she added.

Seth Rogen Posing For Playboy




Seth Rogen is to pose for Playboy magazine.

The 'Knocked Up' actor will become only the ninth male cover star in the magazine's history when he appears in the March 2009 issue.

It is believed he will pose alongside model Hope Dworaczyk.

Other men to have graced the cover of the adult publication include Peter Sellers, Steve Martin, Jerry Seinfeld and Burt Reynolds.

Meanwhile Playboy's risque reputation was tarnished this week when a former Playmate of the Year, Sara Jean Underwood, claimed the magazine's founder Hugh Hefner - who is renowned for having several live-in lovers - imposes strict rules on his girlfriends.

Sara said: "They're young girls and they should be out there partying, but they had strict curfews and had to be in by nine o'clock."

Three of Hugh's girlfriends, Kendra Wilkinson, Bridget Marquardt and Holly Madison - stars of reality TV show 'Girls Next Door' - left him last year.

Hugh, 82, is now dating 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon and Crystal Harris, 22.

Dita Von Teese Prepares For Ex-lovers




Dita Von Teese always looks her best in case she runs into a former lover.
The burlesque dancer - who is divorced from rocker Marilyn Manson - is convinced she will bump into an old flame if she leaves the house bare-faced.

She explained: "I have this theory that the more you let your guard down and get lazy with your looks you will run into your ex-boyfriend or his new girlfriend. The key is taking a moment for yourself."

Dita performed two seductive routines at a party to launch her friend Amanda Eliasch's new book 'Cloak And Dagger Butterfly' on Tuesday (17.01.09).

During one, she slowly stripped to a diamond-encrusted G-string before slipping into a gold bath full of bubbles.

For the second, Dita performed her renowned Martini glass routine, which sees her dancing before splashing around in the over-sized goblet.

However, the star revealed she has not always been so confident and started dancing to help improve her self-esteem.

She told Fox News: "I'm not confident at all. That's how I started doing what I do. I felt very ordinary and not very glamorous so I decided one day that I was going to have to just make my own dream world."I do things that make me feel confident, like doing my hair, putting my red lipstick on, having my nails done and just pampering myself so I'm ready to face the world."

Sarah Jessica Parker's Movie Romp




Sarah Jessica Parker says the next 'Sex and the City' movie will be a "romp".

The actress, who is set to reprise her role as sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw, wants the script to be packed with steamy scenes and funny storylines.

She said: "I think we want this one to be a romp. The last one, we got to tell a really mature sophisticated story that had real heartbreak in it, and this time, I think we want a romp. We want our audience to have a massive romp."

Parker also refused to give away what will happen next for Carrie and her new husband Mr. Big - played by Chris Noth.

She added: "In a million years I'm not going to give you an indication. I want someone to show up that first weekend."

The 43-year-old actress - who will team up again with Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon for the next big screen installment - admits the movie will have to be sensitive to the growing global financial crisis.

Parker explained to US TV host Bully Bush: "How do we do that well? And how do we do that in a not lazy way? How do we address these economic times in a franchise that has a lot to do with luxury and labels?

"There is a lot that we have to think about because times are very different. So these are nice challenges, these are good challenges."

The former Spice Girls star - who struck up a friendship with the 'Umbrella' singer last year - was shocked to hear Rihanna had allegedly been attacked by boyfriend Chris Brown.

Mel said: "I was shocked when the news broke last week of my pal Rihanna allegedly being beaten up by Chris Brown. I heard Kanye West on the radio talking about it and I sent Rihanna a text to check if she was OK. I got to know her when she was working in the studio next door to me last year."

Mel also called for authorities to come down heavily on the 'Run It' singer.

She added to Britain's Closer magazine: "For this to happen to a superstar like her is eye-opening. If the rumours are true then Chris should be punished. No woman deserves to be treated like that - and I hope she knows there's tons of support for her."

nolan gerard funk shirtless

This may be heresy to some, but Nolan Gerard Funk is setting his sights high.

The young actor is being promoted as the next Zac Efron. He'll star in next week's Nickelodeon original movie Spectacular!

Will High School Musical fans jump aboard the bandwagon of this new franchise, now that Efron and company have moved on? Funk, a Vancouver native that is fluent in French and filmed a music video last year alongside Miranda Cosgrove, leads the film's cast. He plays Nikko.

In a meanwhile, the young star of the "High School Musical" series of television films, is looking forward to a relaxing trip to Australia for the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in Sydney this week. I'm highly amused by these pictures of Zac on the red carpet with The Veronicas singers Jess and Lisa Origliasso. It makes him look like a very specific-type of Hugh Hefner, except that I'm pretty sure there's a pretty big difference between him and Hugh and I'm only going to use one phrase to hint at why I have my suspicions--perfectly-groomed eyebrows. In any case, Zac's planning on enjoying himself and is avoiding all questions about the subject of the recent nude picture scandal involving his girlfriend and co-star, Vanessa Hudgens.
"I just want to have fun this time,'' he said.

"I'm not going to tell anyone what I'm doing, but it's going to be hanging out and there's going to be water close by."


Judging from his Mr. Rogers sweater, I'm guessing he's got some real low-key activities planned. Like a threesome with Henrietta Pussycat and Lady. Just kidding, of course! They're girl puppets, silly.

Sienna Miller is "at war" with women




The 27-year-old actress - who faced a backlash from her female fans after she began dating married actor Balthazar Getty - says other girls make her life tough.

She said: "I've been at war, without a doubt. I have really experienced the judgment of women in the past year. It's women who are holding us back.
It's women who are judging. I find it sad. We say we want to be on an equal path, but men don't sit around bitching at each other. It's very competitive. There's no sisterhood."

The 'Factory Girl' star - who claims it is her oldest and closest friends who have kept her sane over the last year - also revealed the pressure to constantly look youthful and flawless keep her awake at night.

Sienna, who is reluctant to have plastic surgery, added: "Urgh, the pedestal thing stops me sleeping. Recently, I found myself thinking, 'I'm getting wrinkles. And things are wobbling, I should go to the gym.' Then I was like, 'F**k it!' Actually. It's not where the focus should be right now. Los Angeles is a nightmare for that. Young girls in Hollywood are having pre-emptive Botox. I say, let people be young and then be old. I can't wait to be seen as a woman."

Kate Moss Pregnant




The 35-year-old supermodel is three months pregnant with her second child - believed to be due in August.

A source said: "It's true. Kate is pregnant. She's overjoyed at the news. She's passed the 12-week stage so she's telling more people."

Kate - who has six-year-old daughter Lila Grace with magazine publisher Jefferson Hack - has been dating The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince since March 2008.

The source said of Jamie, 39: "He's really excited at the prospect of becoming a dad. He already dotes on Lila Grace and is besotted with Kate.

"Kate and Jamie are closer now than ever. She's not going out as much as she used to but when she does he puts a protective arm round her."

The couple, who were reportedly in a panic after Lila's nanny pulled out of a forthcoming family trip to South Africa, have decided to use the holiday to spend quality time with Kate's daughter.

A source said: "They have decided it will be low-key, not much partying, and they'll have a lot of family time with the three of them."

Tori Spelling's Bathroom Dance




Tori Spelling and her son are learning a Potty Dance.

The actress, who has two children with her husband Dean McDermott, is teaching her 22-month-old son Liam a special series of moves to celebrate when he uses the bathroom.

She said: "I started potty training my son about a month ago. The Potty Dance was a saving grace. Getting him to learn it was easy - he's a big dancer.


"It was like a reward - every time he went potty, he got to do the potty dance. After he goes to the bathroom, I tell him, 'You're such a good boy!' Then he puts up his fist and shows he's ready to dance."

Tori - who also has an eight-month-old daughter Stella - revealed Liam has one particular song he loves strutting his stuff to.

The 35-year-old star added to celebrity baby blog: "He loves to dance to The Killers, and knows like every word to their new song 'Human'.

"He can't say full sentences, but he knows a word here and there, and he does movements to the different lines."

Mickey Rourke's Shoe Drama




Mickey Rourke caused a stir at London Heathrow when he checked in a five-and-a-half stone suitcase packed with shoes.

The 56-year-old actor – who was flying first class from London to New York - was forced to repack his bags as the crammed case of footwear was 4kg over the maximum weight limit.

An airline source told Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper: "It was really weird and extraordinary to watch. Five-and-a-half stone – 36kg – of shoes is one heck of a lot of shoes, especially for a man.

"It's the sort of thing you would expect from Victoria Beckham, but not of a tough guy like Mickey Rourke."

Mickey – who was returning to the US after an eight-day stay in London – has evidently adapted to the UK climate.

The source said: "It was freezing cold but he had no socks on and a pair of blue slip-ons with very low heels. And it turned out that he had about 40 pairs of shoes very similar to the ones he was wearing in the case."

During his stay in the UK, the Hollywood star picked up the Best Actor award at last week's BAFTAs for his comeback role in 'The Wrestler'.

Gwynety Paltrow grabbing attention lately with her sexy outfits



FOXY GWYNETH PALTROW has been grabbing my attention with a series of killer heels and sexy outfits lately.

But lederhosen? I’m no fashion expert but girl colleagues assure me that Bavarian leather shorts are NOT a must-have.

COLDPLAY star CHRIS MARTIN’s wife wore the outfit at a New York screening of her new film Two Lovers.

It was braver than taking to the red carpet in a pair of her usual huge heels.

Brad Pitt's security is so good he can't get in his own house



BRAD PITT’s security is so good he can’t even get into his own house.

The Oscar-nominated actor was left red-faced when he returned to his home on his customised Chopper motorbike – only to discover he couldn’t get through the security gates of his private estate.

Brad, currently at cinemas in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, had been at a business meeting at swanky Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood.

He made several frantic phone calls and eventually a neighbor turned up to let him in.

Maybe security didn’t recognize him under that helmet...

Courtney Love has had another pop at arch rival Madonna



COURTNEY LOVE has had another pop at arch rival MADONNA.

The mouthy Hole frontwoman is moving to London - but hopes the Queen Of Pop will never return to the British capital after her own move to New York.

Writing on her online blog, Courtney said: "Madonna had better stay the hell away from London when I move here to live!"

"There's no room for us both. Buckinghamshire is where I want to go. I'm fed up with L.A. It's full of crazy people.

"People criticise Britain but it is still a cleaner, safer place to live than Hollywood."

The feisty pair fell out after Courtney threw a compact mirror at the Material Girl at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards.

Controversial Courtney also launched a vicious tirade on Madonna’s singing skills via MySpace last year.

She said: “Madonna is a great businesswoman, but come on, she is weak as an artist and we all know it.”

“It’s a joke she’s singing from such a calculating, thought-out place all the time, it’s never from her gut or heart or intuition.”

Paris Hilton wears rose tinted glasses for shopping trip





PARIS HILTON put on some rose-tinted glasses for a shopping trip in Hollywood.

The blonde heiress donned the bizarre stripy pink shades to look around the Harmony Lane store, where she picked up a few purchases.

And she seemed to be in the market for more than clothes – eyeing up a dog and a baby along the way.

Having pots of cash, Paris is used to being able to buy anything she wants.

But choosing a baby as a matching accessory is going a bit far.

Britney Spears is reportedly paying Kevin Federline $5,000 a week to take the kids on tour



BRITNEY SPEARS is reportedly paying ex hubby KEVIN FEDERLINE $5,000 a week – for his permission to take their kids on tour.

The singer is desperate to be in constant contact with little SEAN PRESTON and JAYDEN JAMES when she hits the road, and is said to have agreed a deal with K-Fed – who has sole custody of the children.

Kevin told TMZ.com: “I’m gonna take the kids on the road... they need to see their mother, right?”

As well as making a huge wad of cash on the side, bloated rapper Kev will also have a seat on the tourbus when Britney sets off on her US tour in March.

Meanwhile, her ex boyfriend ADNAN GHALIB is under investigation in the US after he allegedly struck a court worker with his car.

The reported incident occurred when a process server turned up at his Encino apartment with legal papers ordering him to appear in the restraining order case.

The alleged victim reportedly suffered cuts and bruises but refused treatment when cops arrived at the scene.

Rihanna wears and eye patch caused by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown



COPS were last night investigating whether an injury that forced pop star RIHANNA to wear an eye patch was caused in a bust-up with boyfriend CHRIS BROWN.

According to police sources, the Barbados-born singer, 20, suffered a scratched cornea last year and began wearing a patch to cover her red and sensitive eye.

It is thought she then incorporated the accessory into her stage costume — including the glittering diamond-encrusted version she sported at the 2008 American Music Awards.

Umbrella star Rihanna suffered a bloody nose, swollen lip and facial bruising in an alleged bust-up with 19-year-old R ‘n’ B star Brown before last Sunday’s Grammy awards.

Los Angeles cops are now probing an alleged history of violent rows between the pair and claims of possible abuse in the past.

A police source said: “We’re investigating if her eye injury could have been caused by Brown.


“There could be an innocent explanation — but police believe Rihanna has previously refused to make a complaint against Brown. She is now being asked about her past injuries and is beginning to open up about incidents in their relationship.”

An LAPD source said: “We’re talking to her friends and management, who say she’s appeared with mysterious marks or injuries before, but always refused to explain what happened.

“There was one instance when she suddenly appeared with an eye patch, saying her cornea had been scratched.”

Brown was charged with making threats following Sunday’s alleged episode.

It is believed a domestic assault charge will be added or substituted as the main charge.

The Sun can reveal that after the weekend’s apparent bust-up, devastated Rihanna was reluctant to file a police complaint, but was persuaded to by her mum Monica.

Reports also claimed the singer was spotted with a bruise to her neck last December — but kept quiet about what caused it.

US Weekly magazine said: “Chris and Rihanna have a very volatile relationship. He can be quite wild and demanding.”

The mag said further cracks in the relationship became apparent two days BEFORE the Grammys at a party hosted by Timbaland.

An onlooker claimed Brown flew into a jealous rage — accusing Rihanna of sleeping with the hip-hop legend and producer.

Brown gave himself up to cops on Sunday and was charged before his release on $50,000 bail.

He is due in court on March 5.

His lawyer Mark Geragos did not return calls or emails last night.

Meanwhile, Brown has offically ended his relationship with Rihanna via his Facebook page.

The singer changed his relationship status to 'single' and wrote: "You'll begin to see her true colours. Believe it!".

Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson were forced to cancel appearance on Valentine's Day




LINDSAY LOHAN and girlfriend SAMANTHA RONSON were forced to cancel an appearance on Valentine's Day after a doctor declared them too ill to fly.

The Mean Girls actress and her lesbian DJ partner were booked to host a party at Passions, a nightclub in Florida's Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Saturday.

But the bedridden stars had to pull out of the gig on the day of the event.

Sam told People.com: "We really feel bad, and I work sick when I can, but unfortunately I couldn't drive to Miami, so I'm stuck in New York City with doctor's orders not to fly."

Organizers were left "disappointed" by the cancellation - because they failed to book another act in time for the party.

Director of Marketing for Passions, Amanda Senoff, adds: "Lindsay and Samantha stayed out late last night in New York City, and are not feeling well. A doctor said Sam was too sick with the flu to travel and Lindsay is also feeling sick. So they rescheduled for March 7.

"I conferenced all of Lindsay and Sam's managers for three hours today trying to remedy the situation, and they agreed the girls are sick. What can I say? I am disappointed but these things happen."

Rihanna's dad confirmed the singer is recovering at home in Barbados



RIHANNA'S father says the singer has “some bruising” after the alleged attacked by ex boyfriend CHRIS BROWN.

RONALD FENTY confirmed the Umbrella beauty is recovering in her native Barbados with girlfriends and claimed she will speak out about the incident soon.

Describing her current condition, he said: “There is some bruising. She will be alright. I think so.

“At some point she will speak out.

“I hope she will stand up for women all over the world.

Ronald, a salesman and freelance clothing designer, has now confirmed the pair have now broken up.

Ronald said: "The relationship is over and I am pleased. She doesn't want to speak to Chris. She is being very brave about things and said that she will be back on stage performing soon."

The last time he saw Rihanna and Chris together was in July.

He said: “They seemed pretty happy. I don’t know what went wrong.”

Meanwhile JAY-Z has issued a warning to Chris amid the allegations.

"Chris is a walking dead man. He messed with the wrong crew," he told Us Weekly.

Meanwhile, Kanye West has admitted that he was "devastated" by the news.

"It’s so devastating, that should never happen. I feel like (Rihanna's my baby sis and I would do anything and everything to help her in any situation," he told KIIS-FM.

Chris, 19, allegedly attacked Rihanna, 20, in Los Angeles last weekend after a pre-Grammy's party.

He was arrested and may face charges from the district attorney.

Rihanna has not been seen in public since the incident.

Pop Star Rihanna suffered 'horrific' injuries after an alleged assualt by Chris Brown


Together ... Chris Brown and Rihanna leave party in the car

POP star RIHANNA
suffered "horrific" injuries after an alleged assault by her boyfriend CHRIS BROWN, US reports claim.

The Umbrella singer
is believed to have bite marks on her arms and major contusions to both sides of her face, a split lip, swelling, bruising and a bloody nose, showbiz website TMZ reports.

US sources said he lashed out after the Umbrella singer accused him of flirting with another woman.

The trouble kicked off after the couple left a pre-Grammys party - hosted by Sony mogul CLIVE DAVIS - in a Lamborghini sports car.

Both later pulled out of performances at Sunday’s awards show.

A source said: “Inside the party they were very lovey-dovey, but later on they were arguing.

“Rihanna is now doing a lot of soul searching over whether their relationship can last. Only time will tell.”

Martial arts expert Brown is said to have fled after the 12.30am bust-up at the roadside in LA’s swanky Hancock Park area.

He allegedly went into hiding in a hotel and later handed himself in to cops.

Meanwhile Rihanna, 20, was rushed to hospital after dialling 911 from the hired car.

A source said: “Rihanna was distraught, she had bruises on her face, a bloody nose and sore lip. She was interviewed by police at the hospital before being released a few hours later.”

An eyewitness at the Cedars-Sinai hospital told website radaronline.com: "Rihanna was clearly very upset by what had happened and I could hear her screaming. Rihanna was trying to get her point across about something, she sounded like she was crying as she tried to get her point across."

Brown, 19, was charged with suspicion of making criminal threats and released on $50,000 bail. If found guilty he could face nine years in jail.

He was also being investigated for alleged “domestic violence and felony battery”, and more charges could be filed, cops said. Some reports claimed he had used a “deadly weapon”.

Can I remind Brown what he said in 2007.

In a magazine interview, he told how his violent stepfather battered his mum.

He said: “He used to hit my mom. He made me terrified all the time.

“I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, ‘I’m just gonna go crazy on him one day’. I hate him to this day.”

He is due in court on March 5.

Rihanna has not been seen in public since the allegations were made and it has been reported her sold-out concert in Malaysia and her planned 21st birthday celebrations in New York have been cancelled.

Chuck Mangione's Bandmates Die in Fatal Crash

Two members of Chuck Mangione’s band were killed Thursday night in the Continental Airlines plane crash in Clarence Center, New York.

Mangione’s publicist told TMZ that saxophonist Gerry Niewood and Coleman Mellett, guitarist, were among those killed when Flight 3407 crashed into a house near Buffalo.

A publicist for the famous jazz musician identified the band members as Gerry Niewood and Coleman Mellett. Through a rep, Mangione said, "I'm in shock over the horrible, heartbreaking tragedy."

The musicians were en route to Buffalo for tonight’s performance with the Buffalo Philharmonic.That show has been canceled.

Is Seth Binzer Dead From Cardiac Arrest?

Rumors are swirling around the internet that Seth Binzer, lead singer of alternative rock band Crazy Town, went into cardiac arrest and died last night. Binzer, who also goes by the pseudonym Shifty Shelshock, was one of the celebrities featured on VH1's Celebrity Rehab.

The rumor is that Binzer suffered a heart attack after taking a lethal combination of ecstasy, crack and heroin.

Seth Binzer is the lead singer of the band Crazy Town.The 34 year old Seth Shifty Binzer became one of the 9 participants on the VH1 TV show.He die of cardiac arrest and it is just another false alarm.

Seth Binzer is surprised missing last week of the Celebrity Rehab show.Other participants was trying to find him. Seth Binzer was died after cardiac arrest was sent dead on arrival to a hospital. But this time, nothing can be confirmed yet as everything are still speculations and hunches.

As with most stories like this that seem to spread like wildfire in the middle of the night, this one doesn't seem to be showing up on any mainstream news sources. I doubt there's any truth to the rumor, but as in the case of Bernie Mac, sometimes the stories develop from a few leaked facts. I'm guessing Binzer may have had some sort of medical emergency, maybe he actually did go into cardiac arrest and that led to talk that he had passed away.

Stories like this, whether true or not, are hard on family and friends. I feel for Binzer's wife and especially his young son Halo, who would no doubt be traumatized upon hearing stories of his father's death.
