Why, Emile Hirsch, Why?!
We thought he was going to be the next Hollywood heartthrob but actor Emile Hirsh isn't looking too good these days. What's with the silver outfit? And the shaggy hair? C'mon, Emile needs a makeover!
His new flick which co-stars Christina Ricci, Speed Racer, bombed at the box office in The States. Hirsch just appeared in Japan at the premiere of the movie, wearing this same outfit! Big no-no! What happened to his rugged, outdoor days from Into The Wild?
It's Double-Date Time!
Actors and BBF's in real life Ben Affleck and Matt Damon took their wives on a double date last night to the restuarant Nobu in Malibu, California. Damon's wife Luciana is looking pretty pregnant with their second child! Both couples seemed to enjoy a relaxed and casual date night on the west coast.
Pamela Anderson Hates Jessica Simpson
Former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson didn't have such nice things to say about singer Jessica Simpson in a recent radio interview in Australia. Anderson reportedly responded to a question about Simpson by responding, "I think she is a bitch and whore." WHOA NOW! Where are those such strong feelings coming from?
It may be because Anderson is a devout vegetarian and Simpson recently rocked a t-shirt with the statement, "Real Girls Eat Meat," on the front. Anderson has been a supporter of PETA and encouraging others to go vegetarian for quite some time. She may disagree with what Jessica eats but those are some harsh words!
An Unlikely Pair: Pic of the Day
American Idol winner David Cook cozied up with The Hill's star Audrina Patridge at an event honoring Glamour's new Senior West Coast Editor James Patrick Herman at a private residence on June 25, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. Could these two be a new Hollywood couple? Atleast that would officially get JustinBobby out of the picture (right, Hills fans?).
Viva Espana!
Congratulations to the soccer team of Spain! They beat Germany (1-0) to be named the champions of the Euro 2008 Soccer Cup on Sunday! Spain hasn't won the title in 44 years so this win is well deserved.
"It is to me the most important day in Spanish football in many, many years," says player Fernando Torres who scored the winning goal in the 33rd minute of the game. The game was played in front of a crowd of 51,428 fans, almost equally split down the middle in terms of Germany fans and Spain supporters.

Amy Winehouse Punches Fan
The troubled singer was performing at the Glastonbury Festival in front of 80,000, when she punched a spectator in the first row during "Rehab."
She had stepped down into the pit during the performance. After lashing out at the fan, she was gently escorted back to the stage by security staff.
Winehouse got violent because someone grabbed her breasts, said concert organizer Michael Eavis.
Her appearance at the festival seemed doubtful after she was hospitalized for collapsing in her London home earlier this month.
In newspaper interviews published last weekend, Mitch Winehouse, the singer's father, said his daughter had damaged her lungs and developed early-stage emphysema as a consequence of allegedly smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes.
The performance was part of Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday celebration. Winehouse was just one of many stars performing at the event.

Rose McGowan to play Red Sonja
Red Sonja is the latest comic book hero to come to life. This time Robert Rodriguez will produce the action film, and his fiancée, Rose McGowan, will play the flame-haired Marvel character.In the film, the She-Devil with a Sword tries to exact vengeance on the people who killed her family, but realizes she must use her superhero ways to save Hyrkania (modern-day Russia and Ukraine) from an evil sorcerer, as well.
It will be directed by Douglas Aarniokoski, who helms Highland: Endgame, Millennium Films and Nu Images announced Friday.
"This is an amazing property and film for our company," said studio executive Avi Lerner. "Working with the talented Robert Rodriguez, having Rose McGowan as Red Sonja and Douglas Aarniokoski directing is a fantastic combination. We could not be happier."
The film is expected to start filming in October, although the studio is still scouting locations in Michigan and other areas of the U.S.
The scale mail bikini-wearing heroine was first brought to life in the critically-panned 1985 B-movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brigitte Nielsen as the titular character.
It was a box office flop, grossing around $7 million in the box office, well below its $15 million budget.
"It's the worst film I have ever made," Schwarzenegger said later. "Now, when my kids get out of line, they're sent to their room and forced to watch Red Sonja ten times. I never have too much trouble with them."

Teen decapitated by Batman ride
A teenager at the Six Flags Over Georgia was killed around 2-2:30 p.m. today when he was hit and decapitated by the amusement park's popular Batman roller coaster, which can travel at up to 50 mph.Cobb County police are investigating the death, which occurred after the 17-year-old scaled two six-foot fences marked with "Danger" and "Do Not Enter" signs.
"We do not know why this person was intent on gaining access to this restricted area,"
Park spokeswoman Hela Sheth said in a news release.
Park spokeswoman Hela Sheth said in a news release.
"Some witnesses have stated that the individual was trying to retrieve something he had lost. Others reported that he was trying to touch the ride," she added. "This is merely speculation at this point, and we are working with park visitors and local police to learn more."
Another Six Flags representative said the teen was one of a group of youth who jumped over the perimeter fence as the ride was coming, although none of the other kids, nor any of the people on the ride, were injured.
The victim, whose name has not been released, was reportedly with a church group at the time, although his family was at the park, as well, the Atlanta Journal Constitution wrote on its website.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family," a statement form the park read. Cobb County reports have not returned calls seeking comments, not have they confirmed that the teen was decapitated.
The description of Batman: The Ride is described on the Six Flags website as such: "Soar like a bat out of Hades, through, above—and even underneath—Gotham City, suspended from the rails of one of the most innovative coasters of all time."
It is described as "one of the most spell-binding coasters ever," with "one-of-a-kind heartline spin producing a feeling of weightlessness."
It is not to be confused with the new The Dark Knight roller coaster, located at Six Flags Great Adventure. The ride's May 15 launch preceded the upcoming film by several months.
NBA Draft Highlights
For the first time in NBA draft history, the first three picks were college players who just completed their freshmen years. The Chicago Bulls chose Memphis guard Derrick Rose as the first pick overall. He was followed by Kansas State's Michael Beasley, who went to the Miami Heat, and O.J. Mayo of the University of Southern California who was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"We actually talked about this earlier," Beasley said. "We all grew up together and we all grew up playing against each other and we all made a pact together that we would all be here. Just to see it all fall into place and see it all happen is kind of crazy."
Five of the top seven selections were freshmen, as were 10 of the first round draftees, both NBA records. More information can be found on the Official Home Page of the NBA.

Spencer Pratt vs. Mary-Kate Olsen
Let me paint a picture for you. Mary-Kate Olsen was a guest on The David Letterman Show this past week. Letterman asked if she had gone to school with any of the young Hollywood stars out there and Olsen responded that she went to high school with The Hill's star, Spencer Pratt. It was obvious that Mary-Kate Olsen wasn't a fan of Pratt and commented that he had a pretty bad temper when he played high school soccer.
NOW GET THIS! Pratt is reponding back at Mary-Kate Olsen and released his statement to Us Weekly about her appearance, this is so tactless! He says, “I don’t really get why she’d use my name to get press for her little indie film that no one’s going to see. She should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me… I know I’ve made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman. I forgive her, though. She’s had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough.”
DAYYY-UM! This picture is allegedly from the time that the two knew eachother. They look pretty young but there's your proof!
More Lohan Family Drama...
Daddy's got a big secret! This family just can't get any crazier, they are right up there with the Hogans these days! The father of Lindsay and Ali Lohan, Michael Lohan, has confirmed that he fathered an illegitimate while married to then wife, Dina Lohan.
The child is 13-years old. In a statement to OK! magazine, Michael says, "Years later [the woman he was messing with behind Dina's back] contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child."
This should be very interesting, keep a look out for how it develops! I wonder if this saga will play out on their E! reality show.

Flight attendant files lawsuit against J.Lo
Flight attendant Lisa Wilson filed a $5 million lawsuit against Jennifer Lopez yesterday in Brooklyn Federal Court for complaints regarding a 2006 private flight the singer took.Wilson alleged that Lopez's German shepherd guard dog was unruly, "attacking [Wilson] and biting her pant leg." She also said the attack caused her to fall, leading to back injuries that have prevented her from working.
The complaint says that "Prior to departure, the defendant Lopez warned the plaintiff about how she should behave around the guard dog." Wilson said that at the beginning of the flight, the dog, Floyd, seemed like "a well behaved guard dog."
Thirty minutes later; however, Floyd "lunged" at Wilson, leading to her fall and injury. In the complaint, Wilson said she began treatment for back pain and had surgery in April 2007, but she remains in treatment and has suffered "substantial economic loss" due to her inability to work.
In the suit, which E! News obtained, Wilson claimed that Lopez "knew or should have known that the animal had vicious propensities" and therefore is liable for her injuries.
Lopez has not replied to the charge, as of yet.
And according to the New York Post, Lopez was also subpoenaed last week to testify in a lawsuit regarding a 1999 nightclub shooting involving her boyfriend at the time, Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Natalia Reuben, a woman who was caught in the crossfire and shot in the face, filed a $130 million lawsuit against Combs and rapper Jamal "Shyne" Barrow, who was sentenced to jail for his involvement.
While Lopez was with Combs on the night of the Dec. 27, 1999 shooting at the former Club New York, she was not called as a witness to the criminal trial of either Combs or Barrow.

Fawcett-O'Neal son pleads guilty to drug charges
Redmond O'Neal, 23, son of Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett (and Tatum O'Neal's half-brother), pled guilty to two counts of felony drug possesssion and one count of misdemeanor driving under the influence yesterday, Jane Robison of the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said.A second DUI charge was tossed, per O'Neal's plea deal agreement that allowed him to avoid serving time behind bars.
Malibu Superior Court justice Lawrence J. Mira sentenced O'Neal to three years of probation and ordered him into drug rehabilitation until a July 9 hearing.
Afterwards, a court will determine if he can enter the state's drug-diversion program for the two felony counts. He was also ordered to pay $1,688 in restitution and fines for the DUI.
The charges stem from a Jan. 26 arrest when O'Neal was pulled over for speeding on the Pacific Coast Highway and heroin and crystal meth were found in his possession.
According to People, O'Neal has a history of drug abuse and went to rehab in 2004 to address his heroin addiction.

The Good Charlotte frontman said he and Richie are concentrating on their new daughter for the moment.
"Right now we're really happy and we're concentrating on our family, and that's what is making us happy right now," he said. "We're moving at our own pace."

I am not neglecting films : Preity Zinta
Bollywood actress Preity Zinta said her preoccupation with Indian Premier League (IPL) earlier and now the 'Unforgettables' world concert did not mean that she has put her film career on the backburner.
"I have four back-to-back releases this year starting with Jahanu Barua's 'Har Pal' with Dharmendra and Shiney Ahuja, 'Heroes' with Salman Khan, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, 'The Last Lear' with Amitabh Bachchan, Arjun Rampal and Shefali Shah and Deepa Mehta's 'Heaven on Earth'," Zinta said.
The actress said she was presently dubbing for 'Har Pal' and shooting for 'Main aur Mrs Khanna'.
However, she declined to divulge any details of the films.
She said her forthcoming releases are a natural progression for her from a mainstream commercial film actor to doing meaty roles with substance.
'Har Pal' has the original screenplay and is an out-to-out commercial film which is high on emotions. 'The Last Lear' will see her playing an upcoming actress while in 'Heaven on Earth' she plays a battered housewife.
She said she had reached a stagnation point with the films she was doing.
"I was going through the same grind and naturally wanted some challenging work. When you grow older, you need more substance. I am fortunate that when I yearned for a change, it came from all sides," she added.
"The NRI bracket associated with my films because all of them were shot abroad, was killing me. Hence, I decided to go desi in my forthcoming films," she added.
Preity pointed out that she never had a glamorous image in films.
Preity bonds with Jinnahs daughter
Preity Zinta talks about her impressions of boyfriend Ness Wadias illustrious grandmother, Dina Wadia.
Jinnahs daughter Dina Wadia has been in Mumbai for a while now. Among the lucky few people who can get to meet her is actress Preity Zinta, Dina Wadia being her beau Ness Wadias grandmother.
Preity says that every time she Dina Wadia, she comes away floored. Says Preity, “The first time I met Dina Wadia I stared at her open-mouthed. My goodness! She carries so much history within her.
Since then weve met over dinner and other social occasions several times. Each time Im struck by her gentle demeanour, her classic elegance, and yes, her fragility.”
While speaking about one of her favourite women, Preitys voice lights up. She continues, “Shes so beautiful, so fragile. I was also struck by her unmistakable facial resemblance to her distinguished father (Jinnah).
They look like father and daughter all right! Ive never seen two people who resemble one another so closely.”
Preity says she has met Dina Wadia both in Mumbai and abroad. “She lives in New York. But she visits Mumbai where she has close family. She carries an aura of unmistakable strength.
Every time I meet her theres so much to imbibe from her. You know therere some people in this world who just carry an aura about them. Shes one of them.”
The last time when they met Dina Wadia wanted to know about Preitys IPL matches. “She has so much to tell. And I just want to sit and keep on listening to her.
She takes a lot of interest in my life. The last time we met she wanted to know all about the IPL matches.
I was surprised, why would someone of her stature want to know what Im doing? Shes so important to our times as a woman and a figure in history and yet conveys so much joie de vivre in her attitude.” www.Aaj.tv, 2008
Have Preity Zinta-Ness Wadia split?
Hot rumours doing the rounds is the split between actress Preity Zinta and her industrialist boyfriend Ness Wadia. The grapevine is buzzing that industry's rocking couple has come to an end with their relationship.
Neither of the two has confirmed their split officially. But it's quite a long time that Preity and Ness have made any public appearances together.
However, to put rumours to rest is a close friend of Preity who confirms that there's nothing such to believe this hearsay and the talks about their break-up is baseless.
Preity Zinta talks about 'The Unforgettable Tour'
We all know the hype surrounding the Bachchan's is as always colossal. And if you thought that after their bare footed walk to the Siddhivinayak, their IIFA Bangkok premiere of Sarkar Raj and their grand Yatra Tour across India, the Bachchans would need that desperate break....think again! Because this time around, they are not alone. Bollywood finds out the hype and the excitement surrounding the Unforgettable Tour in London and has a quick five minute chat with dimpled beauty Preity Zinta who is a part of this world wide extravaganza.
The O2 Arena is like a place from another planet when you first see it! This is a huge entertainment district which includes an indoor arena, a music club, cinema, exhibition space, bars and restaurants. All inside the former huge dome-shaped Millenium Dome, O2 Arena, popularly known as the 'Dome's Canopy' was designed for all kinds of different events and one such event is going to take place in this arena on August 24 when the 'Unforgettable Tour' unleashes its magic for all the Bollywood lovers in and around the U.K. Britain is the heart and soul of live music and what better world class facility is Bollywood going to get than to perform in Europe's finest music venue. The £758m Dome was built as a Millennium project and opened in 2000 and has witnessed some of music industries finest talents from across the globe like Bon Jovi, Elton John, Take That, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Rolling Stones, etc. The names keep on rolling... what will make the world of difference when it comes to concerts at the O2 is 'The Unforgettable Tour 2008' which boasts of a star studded line up including the dancing diva of Bollywood, Madhuri Dixit, the sweet and chirpy Preity Zinta, the lovable Riteish Deshmukh, the musical duo Vishal & Shekhar, the ultra slim & sexy Shilpa Shetty, the new Kinng of Bollywood Akshay Kumar and for the first time on an international concert together comes the power of three - The Bachchan Trio, Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya. Phew! Can't get bigger than this!
With perfect sight-lines from every angle, crystal clear acoustics, obscenely comfy seating, wide concourses between aisles and a huge variety of snack and drink options to enjoy throughout the show, the O2 Arena is also fitted with - believe it or not - 548 toilets to avoid the excruciatingly painful and frustrating half an hour queue for the loo. Now that's a.....relief!!! From London, let's now move to Mumbai where all our Bollywood stars are busy rehearsing for their grand tour which flags off on July 18 in Toronto and ends in London on August 24. As you can already see the line up, it will not be surprising to see all your favourite celebs performing dance numbers to the tunes of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Dhoom and Dhoom 2, Bluffmaster, Guru and not to forget, the 'Kajra Re' track with all the three Bachchans. Though it will be exciting to see the Big B perform on some of his evergreen songs from his 1980's films. I can start feeling the excitement of the crazy and the ever so loyal Bollywood fans.
Whether it is the famous Wembley Arena or the O2 Arena, one thing is certain, it will only take seconds to fill it up. And while most of you must be impatiently waiting to see your favourite stars in action, here's something for you to cherish about in the mean time. Last weekend, I caught up with actress Preity Zinta who gave away very little in terms of what's going to be their game plan for 'The Unforgettable Tour'. Though she did mention what made this particular tour better than the rest of the world wide tours she has been a part of. "The fact that there is a completely new star cast who have never been on the world concert before, that's one of the USP's. Different people from different countries are going to get a different taste of 'The Unforgettable Tour'. Canada will have Akshay Kumar as a guest performer, Madhuri Dixit is going to tour America with us and Shilpa Shetty as we all know is a U.K favourite. Plus all the choreography is done by Shiamak Davar who will also be performing. He is of par excellence in choreography. There are lot more surprises installed. You'll just have to wait and watch", revealed the zealous Zinta.
Preity will also be performing with Abhishek Bachchan on the title track of 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' and a romantic number from the same film which goes 'Bol Na Halke Halke'. So on asking her whether I got the tracks right, she laughs and replies, "I am sorry but we are not allowed to disclose out on which numbers we are going to perform and if your guess is as good as mine, you're lucky. Yes, you can predict the songs seeing my pairing with Abhishek. But that's it. There's lot more to look out for". Looking at the home page of 'The Unforgettable Tour' website, the thing which catches your eye are the exclusive red coloured outfits which the stars have put on, symbolising glitz and glamour. So who have designed these outfits? "Well, many of the outfits are designed by Manish Malhotra and there are other designers too on board." With only three weeks to go before this mega tour kicks off, Zinta sounds elated. "Lot of preparation is going on for the tour as of now. We all are very excited and are rehearsing for three to four hours a day. New things are coming up everyday and so is the entry of guest stars", revealed Preity.
The versatile actress has in the past been a part of a world tour couple of years ago called the 'Temptations Tour' with Shah Rukh Khan. Be it on the cricket field, big screen or on the stage, this dimpled beauty has impressed on and all, but I still have my sixth sense telling me that the Unforgettable Tour is hiding something quite dark in it's promotions and will pull the rabbit out of the hat only at the right time. What you are seeing is not what you may get. "I think whatever you get is going to be more than what you expect. I can promise you that. There is going to be a lot of everything in this show. I don't want to talk much about it because it's better you all watch it live", said the talented actress. She further adds, "This is going to be the biggest world tour coming out of the Indian Film Industry and all credit goes to Wizcraft in the way they've put the show up. Not to forget, we too have done our part to push it to another level (laughs).”
'The Unforgettable Tour' also has it's coincidences. The first world tour in which Preity Zinta was a part of had Aishwarya Rai. And this one reunites them. "I have seen all the three Bachchans perform before and I see them all the time as they are my friends but what's good is that the fans haven't seen them together on stage and it's going to be a one off experience for them", Preity told me. Having done about three hundred interviews on the weekend before she spoke to me, Zinta sounded a bit jaded and tired. So before she calls it a day, I fired a couple of last questions to her. I asked her to explain me why she wasn't seen much in the U.K over the past couple of years and was she excited to be coming and performing at the O2 Arena for the first time where famous international celebs have given live performances. She replied, "I was there in Yorkshire IIFA's last year. It's always a pleasure to come to London to perform. Usually, I've been to Wembley quite a few times but this is going to be an even bigger and a better experience. Londoners have also been very vocal about how they feel and it's always a place where you get maximum people screaming and shouting and going nuts. I am looking forward to it." So whether you're lucky to get your hands on the tickets or not, one thing is sure - Bollywood Hungama will try and make sure to keep you updated with all the latest interviews from the star performers and much more. Watch this space! And before Preity Zinta says good bye, a piece of advice from her. "We are coming and I want everyone to be there. I promise we won't let you down because we are going to put up one hell of a great show. So be there".
Preity Zinta ko gussa kyun aata hai?
Once upon a time Amitabh Bachchan had the total copyright over the anger matters. Later on heroes like Sunny Deol and Ajay Devgan shared few bits of the losing control.
On screen sweeties like Salman and Chichi have even created off screen hunguma either by knocking ladies’ doors or by slapping news guys. But sweet babies ire-ing and firing in the industry is quite an offbeat catch.
Though hard to believe but it’s true that it hardly takes few seconds to ignite anger in Priety. We all are aware of this tamed lioness’ angry side. Once this pretty actress gets angry then she is not the one who would back out from the fight.
Recently producer Tito Juneja’s son Sonny Juneja had to face the storm from this lady when he dared to throw comment on Priety’s acting capabilities while she was dubbing for Tito’s film Har Pal.
Priety got so bugged up with the continuous comments from Sonny that she decided to quit dubbing session and took a seat in a nearby park.
In the end director Jahnu Barua had to arrive on the sets to convince the angry actress for resuming the dubbing. Preity did so but only after Sonny was asked to leave the studio.
Whether reports of cold vibes between films cast Shiney Ahuja and Preity Zinta or Shiney’s balding problems, Har Pal has always been associated with these kinds of negative stories. But as you say in Bollywood, negative or positive, B-town personalities always welcome free publicity.
Maybe the uncontrollable anger fuming in the babe is just a part of that!
Preity invested in IPL despite astrologer's warning
Exuberant, chirpy, happy-go-lucky Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, who has now turned into a businesswoman, says she invested in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in spite of warnings from an astrologer friend.
"In spite of the warning from my astrologer friend, I went for the deal as I had a gut feeling that it is the future. I told my friend that if it doesn't work for me then I would become the 50th wife of the Sultan of Brunei," Preity, who co-owns the IPL Mohali team, told reporters.
The star of hits like "Salaam Namastey" and "Kal Ho Naa Ho", Preity said it was only in a developing country like India that one could think of buying a sports team.
"The scenario is going to change after 10 years. One can never dream of buying a team like Manchester United or Arsenal today in a country like England."
Preity bought Kings XI Punjab in partnership with her boyfriend Ness Wadia and Karan Paul of Apeejay Surrendra Group and Mohit Burman of Dabur. They paid $76 million for the franchise.
Although Preity's team failed to reach the final, she is not complaining.
She said: "My team performed well and I am happy with all the team members and will continue my support for the team."
As far as book balancing was concerned, she said this had not been a profitable year but was optimistic they would do better next time.
How long will her association with the team last?
"I am there for life. I am not there just for the sake of it. First people took me as a brand ambassador and then as a face value, but I wanted to make people take me seriously in the game and I did my best to prove myself.
"I think I was successful (in this)," the actor added.
"I do things which I believe in and am passionate about, be it the IPL or films. I give my heart and soul to them," Preity said.
Now that IPL is over, Preity is concentrating on her films and the "Unforgettable" world tour with the Bachchans starting July 18.
She will be touring the US, Britain and Canada with Amitabh Bachchan, his son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya. Riteish Deshmukh and music directors Vishal-Shekhar are also a part of the tour.
"I am very excited to go with them as Abhishek and Ash are my great friends. Besides, the participation of guest stars like Akshay Kumar, who is joining us in Canada, Madhuri (Dixit) in the US and Shilpa Shetty in London, will add to the excitement.
"This is the first time when we will be joined by performers from different parts. The audiences will be huge and we are expecting an overwhelming response."
Apart from this she will be busy with "Harr Pal", "Heroes", a cameo in the Salman-Kareena Kapoor starrer "Main Aur Mrs Khanna" and Deepa Mehta's Punjabi film "Heaven On Earth".

Madonna & Guy: Headed For Divorce?
Reports are swirling about concerning trouble in paradise with Madge and her husband of eight years, Guy Ritchie. Madonna has reportedly seen a divorce attorney to seek advice about the state of her marriage, reports The Times of London.Perez Hilton just recently stated on his blog that Madonna was seen in NYC just today without her wedding ring. There are reports everywhere about the tension that has existed between the pair lately and they may be headed for splitsville.
The reason? Rumors that Madonna and Guy Ritchie could be on the rocks due to disagreeing about adoption. Friends close to the couple have said Ritchie would only consider adopting another child once David had fully settled into their lives, but Madonna apparently does not share his cautious attitude.
Madonna and Ritchie apparently did not have a prenuptial agreement either. WHOA, this could mean big bucks. When contacted about all the speculation, her rep said: "No comment at this time, darling."

What Becks Says About The Billboards!
David Beckham is finally speaking out about those huge billboards of his half naked self plastered all over U.S. cities! These pictures are the newest for his endorsement for Emporio Armani underwear. Here's his blog post from today! "Well I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures but last Thursday I went to San Francisco to see the unveiling of the new Emporio Armani campaign I shot a while back. To be honest I was amazed by the huge billboard poster outside Macy’s department store, but even more amazed by the amount of people who turned up to see it! I’m always surprised by the amount of attention certain things create, but the attention this campaign has created is pretty incredible. It was great to meet some of the people who’d come out especially though, I’ve always wanted to visit San Francisco, so it was a great to finally get there...Moving onto the football - Saturday’s game was a bit of a disappointment to say the least. We were 2-0 up and playing at home, so we should have closed out the game, but credit to Columbus Crew, they came back at us and forced a draw. We did get a point, but it feels like a loss to be honest. We need to make our stadium a fortress and win our games there and not give anything away, not just in defence, but also from the forwards and the midfield.At the moment it’s just the consistency, it’s all about finishing off teams and holding onto leads. Sometimes it just needs a bit of calmness. It’s all a learning process and we will get better, it’s just about getting the mix right. That’s all for now, David"

Christian Bale Talks About Heath Ledger: Dark Knight Interview Exclusive
Actor Christian Bale, the star of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, revealed some deep thoughts about his late co-star Heath Ledger in the new issue of Parade.Your co-star Heath Ledger, who plays The Joker, died tragically after the film wrapped. Do you mind talking about him? No, listen, I want to talk about Heath.When you miss somebody, you want to speak about him. He was a unique character, a very infectious character. He was a good man, and I was glad to have spent time with him. He was somebody who I’d been seeing on a daily basis for months. It takes a long time to accept that someone’s gone, when all body and mind are telling you that this is somebody you will know for a great deal of time. He was something of a kindred spirit to myself.
It must be difficult. Much of it has to do with my respect for his daughter, whom he loved so dearly and whom he would talk about so often. For me, that is of incredible importance. I hope in a small way that The Dark Knight can be a celebration of his work. Not like the hideous circus after he died, which I felt was an invasion of a private life. This movie is not a personal home video. This is what he did. I hope people will embrace that in the correct fashion.
Will Ferrell Rocks Pablo Cruise T-Shirt
Although Lerios had previously given Sony Studios
permission to use the T-shirt, he had no idea how prominently it would be featured in the movie, which opens nationally July 25, after Ferrell reportedly picked it out from a wardrobe rack.
“We were amazed at how much Will was wearing it in the trailer,” said Cory, who formed the band in 1973 in
In fact, the first 30 legitimate members of the media who reply to this press release will receive a vintage Pablo Cruise T-shirt, like the one worn by Ferrell in the movie, which is sure to make you the envy of your friends.
The exposure couldn’t have come at a more perfect time, since original members, Cory Lerios (keyboards, vocals), David Jenkins (guitar, vocals) and Stephen Price (Drums) recently decided to get back together, play some shows and connect with their many, many fans once again, just for the fun of it!
