Marisa PareLace, the American Gladiator star, real name Marisa Pare was taken into custody yesterday for being in possession of 'narcotic paraphernalia'. She was released on bail. Angelina Jolie Heinz say 'it would be a major coup' if they could persuade Angelina Jolie to star in adverts for their salad cream. She was recently seen at Claridge's in London covering her chips (fries) with the white stuff before devouring them. Not much hope of that Heinz! Jeremy Beadle UK television presenter Jeremy Beadle, 59, is seriously ill in hospital with pneumonia.  Antonio BanderasThere are problems with Antonio Banderas's house in Marbella and, to his horror, he has been told to knock some of it down. Seems he should never have been given permission to erect an extension to the property.  Lacey TurnerThe actress who plays Stacey Branning in the Eastenders soap, Lacey Turner, was at an Ann Summers naughty party and seemed to enjoy playing with some of the buzzing implements on sale. Our spy isn't sure what she ordered though. Elton John Sir Elton John has donated 100 motorbikes for medics in Africa. The Honda bikes will help them get quickly to patients in need in rural areas. Michael Underwood Contestant for the UK Dancing On Ice prog, Michael Underwood, has injured his ankle in a training session. It's thought to be broken so could cause the producers a problem.

 James BondThe new James Bond film starring Daniel Craig is to be called Quantum of Solace. The title is taken from a collection of short stories written by Ian Fleming back in the early sixties. Starring along with Daniel Craig will be Olga Kurylenko and Dame Judi Dench. There are nude Olga Kurylenko photos here if over 18. Bono The very wealthy Bono has visited U.S Defence Secretary Robert Gates at the Pentagon to discuss Africa and the fight against global poverty. They discussed things for twenty minutes so a lot of very poor people in Africa must be sleeping a lot easier. Spice Girls Talking about poverty and Bono it's reported that the Spice Girls will have earned £50 million ($100,000) from just their London concerts alone. Other than Victoria Beckham the girls needed a financial boost so tickets at London's arena O2 were priced at £75 ($150) each. Perhaps Bono and the Spice Girls could really help out Africa if they wanted to. David Beckham did some good recently.  Britney Spears and Paris HiltonCelebrity brothel owner Dennis Hof would like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton to head for a TV reality show as hookers. Hof owns Moonlite Bunnyranch in Nevada and was star of the Cathouse series. Seems he reckons the Britney and Paris have what it takes to make it at his legalised whorehouse. Hof said, "I think Paris and Britney would be fun - and they're both tramps. Hell, they're giving it away for free, so they might as well get paid for it!"It'd make a great show. I'll speak to (U.S. cable TV network) HBO and see if we can make it happen." Not really much you can add to that! Elton John It's said that Sir Elton John is suing business manager Bob Halley - though reasons are, as yet, unknown. A high Court writ has been issued. Latoya Contestant Latoya was voted out of the UK TV show Big Brother Hijacked last night. But does anyone really care? Nope. It's been a disaster of a show with few viewers. The word 'dull' comes to mind. Labels: Bono, Britney Spears, Daniel Craig, Elton John, James Bond, Olga Kurylenko, Paris Hilton, Spice Girls |

Klara And Edda Belly-Dancing Not Indecent
 Looks like the police got it wrong regarding the photograph owned by Elton John and titled, 'Klara and Edda Belly-Dancing'. We wrote first about this on September 26th here.Police seized the photo, by U.S photographer Nan Goldin, after it was put on display at the Baltic gallery in Gateshead last month. The Northumbria Crime Prosecution Service have now decided that there is insufficient evidence to justify any proceedings. They deemed the photograph not to be indecent. The 'Klara and Edda Belly-Dancing' photo had previously been investigated in 2001. The CPS spokesperson, Kerrie Bell said, "In order to prove that the photograph is indecent we must be satisfied that contemporary standards of propriety are so different now to what they were in 2001, that it is more likely than not that a court will conclude that the photograph is indecent. I am not satisfied that is the case." "Even if the photograph was now considered to be indecent, a defendant would be able to raise a legitimate defence, given that the photograph was distributed for the purposes of display in a contemporary art gallery after having been deemed not to be indecent by the earlier investigation."

Nan Goldin Photo Siezed By Northumbria Police
| Nan Goldin, the controversial American photographer, has had a photo seized by police which was on display at a British Gallery in Gateshead. The photo was owned by Elton John and was titled 'Klara and Edda Belly-Dancing'. It features two young girls. The photo was part of Goldin's 'Thanksgiving' exhibition which is made up of over 140 photos. A Northumbria police spokesperson confirmed that an image of a child was removed from the exhibition and said it was being looked over by prosecutors 'to assess whether or not an offense had been committed.' The collection, which has previously been on display at major cities throughout the world, was originally purchased by Elton John in 1999. The photographs of Nan Goldin are often of a sexual nature and have previously attracted police attention. She was born in 1953 and says that she now divides her time between London, Paris and New York.

 Elton Gets StroppyFollowing the Concert For Diana it appears that Elton John got into a bit of a strop because he was delayed in his car for security reasons. He actually asked the policeman concerned that old celebrity favourite, "Do you know who I am?" The policeman told him the situation and Elton John was f-ing this and f-ing that and told his driver to drive on. The officer told the driver that if he did he would be arrested - good for him! So there was one unhappy Knight!  Charley Uchea To Win Big Brother?The Star newspaper reckons there is a 'plot' to make Charley Uchea the eventual winner of UK Big Brother - because she makes good television viewing. It is claimed that Charley is getting special attention and that the program will be edited to favour her. It'll still be up to viewers votes, of course. Prince Edward's Wife Expecting A Baby. The 42 year old Countess of Wessex, Sophie, is expecting a baby in December. Edward and Sophie are said to be 'over the moon' - not exactly a very Royal expression! They have one daughter, Louise, now aged three. Well done Edward - see all of those rumours were wrong!  Kate Locks Out PeteIt's alleged that Pete Doherty has been a naughty boy with a brunette called Lindy. Kate Moss is none too pleased. So much so that she locked the door on Pete - ahhh! Pete got cross and smashed a painting he'd done for Kate. Just another edition of their tempetuous romance.  Waxy DanielMadame Tussauds in London have unveiled their latest creation - Daniel Radcliffe. Harry Potter fans seemingly have been waiting for this moment for ages. Good timing to tie in with the awaited release of the new Harry Potter book The Deathly Hallows. Should make J.K. Rowling a few more millions.

| Loius Walsh and X Factor Louis Walsh, now back within the X Factor fold, had a dig at the other judges by saying, "I'll be the only person on the panel with my own tits and teeth". The other judges being Simon Cowell (of course), Sharon Osbourne and Danii Minogue. He went on to say, "I'm really excited to be back. I think Sharon, Simon and I have brilliant chemistry." Billi Bhati evicted  Billi Bhatti, the 25 year old male model, was evicted from the UK Big Brother house last night, his scheming ways to no avail. Will he be missed - hardly!Michael Jackson Healthy Or Not? There have been rumours that Michael Jackson is in 'perilous health' and has alleged debts of $25 million. Michael's family, who he hasn't seen for 18 months, are so worried they have asked lawyer Thomas Mesereau to intervene. His publicist insists the rumours are 'untrue, defamatory and malicious.'  Does Kate Love William?Kate Middleton will be with Prince William at Princess Diana's Memorial Concert tomorrow. Will they or won't they get together again as a couple? Depends if William will make a commitment. The Concert, however, should be a big success. Oh, and Chelsy Davy has flown in to be with Prince Harry at the event. A Diamond Paris Hilton Quote  The columnist Dominik Diamond made me smile with his comment about Paris Hilton saying that people will now 'see a new Paris.' In answer to this Dominik said, "Oh Good. Because I've seen every single inch of the old one by now.' No doubt referring to her naughty videos etc.Katie Price has given Birth Kate Price, 29, previously known as Jordan, has had her baby. She says that her husband, Peter Andre, and her haven't decided on a name for the little one as yet. I suppose they've only had nine months to think of one! Peter said about the birth, "She's stunning. I'm totally excited and dazed."  Sir Elton John's Charity DoSir Elton John held a White Tie and Tiara party which raised over £6 million for his Aids charity. Mind you tickets were £3000 each. Elton set up his Elton John Aids Foundation back in 1992 and since then has raised something in the region of £52 million. Brian Belo - Thick Or What Is Big Brother inmate, Brian Belo, the thickest ever? Did anyone see him try to answer three banal questions yesterday? One of which was, 'Do girls poo?' Perhaps stupidity is now an essential to become a BB housemate. Even his local radio station, Essex FM, is urging listeners to get him booted out of the house. For Konnie Huq fans go to In Praise Of Konnie Huq. Over 50 photos.
