Ronnie Wood’s wife says ‘its over’

Posted under Celebrities, Celebrity Rehab, Dating, Teens by Heather on Tuesday 15 July 2008 at 5:31 am


Ronnie Wood’s wife has reportedly told him their marriage is over.

The Rolling Stones guitarist received a furious voicemail message from Jo Wood, his wife of 23 years, saying she no longer wants to be with the rocker following his alleged affair with 19-year-old Russian Ekaterina Ivanova.

A source said: “It has sunk in he has had an affair and she feels betrayed. They had such a strong marriage. He’s thrown it all away with his stupid behaviour.”

Ronnie and Ekaterina - who fled to the 61-year-old musician’s retreat in County Kildare, Ireland 10 days ago - are believed to have become close after partying in London. During drinking sessions, the young waitress is said to have posed naked for keen artist Ronnie.

The source added: “Jo has been through the mill. She thought he was only drinking buddies with the girl and she was hanging around him for free drinks. Now everything has surfaced about how they met and Jo has hit rock bottom.”

Jo, 53, had previously branded Ekaterina “mad” and claimed the pair were not having an affair. Ekaterina’s mother Irina has denied the pair are romantically involved,
saying: “There is nothing between them.”

Ronnie is due to return to London from Ireland today. The alcoholic musician, who has reportedly been drinking two bottles of vodka a day, is said to have vowed to check into rehab on his return.

Is it because she is famous? - “Naomi Campbell”

Naomi Campbell

Magistrates heard yesterday how raging supermodel Naomi Campbell hurled vile abuse and punshed, kicked and spat at cops – then they let her walk free.

The crazed millionaires escaped a jail sentence and got just 200 hours community service and a £2,945 fine for a shocking bout of air rage on a BA jet after her bag went missing.

During the fracas, Campbell, 38, told police they were picking on her because she was black and famous. But last night there were furious claims that being a celebrity was what got her a light sentence.

Former Scotland Yard Commander John O’Connor said: “This is a disgrace. She basically got away with it. It’s one rule for the rich and famous and one rule for the rest of us. If anyone who wasn’t a celebrity did this they’d get a custodial sentence – but not Naomi. She’s set a terrible example and should be locked up for it.”

Last night Campbell went on TV and accused BA staff of racism.

She told a Sky News interviewer: ““I was called a golliwog model. I do not think that is fair, do you? I am proud to be a black woman. I am proud to be British. I am proud of the job that I do. But I do not call anyone names or colour of their race.”

She also branded BA “disgusting” over the T5 baggage fiasco and said the airline had “a lot of apologising to do”. BA rejected the racism charge. A spokesman said: “We fly to 90 countries and employ a multi-nationality workforce. We are proud of our diversity.”

Whitney Houston and a Suicide Attempt

Posted under Bobby Brown, Celebrities, Music People, Whitney Houston by Heather on Saturday 3 May 2008 at 12:10 am

Major drama doesn’t just happen between Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. It extends to their 15-year old Bobbi Kristina too. The National Enquirer is reporting that the teenager tried to stab her mom during a heated argument and then attempted to kill herself by slashing her wrists. Family member Ann Davis told The Enquirer that it was a few days after Bobbi Kristina’s 15th birthday when the incident happened. According to other sources, the suicide attempt landed Bobbi Kristina in a psychiatric ward in Atlanta. The poor kid, all those things she saw go down with her mom and dad must have done some major damage on her. I hope she’s doing better now.

Top 10 Most Ridiculous, Obnoxious

Posted under Britney Spears, Celebrities, Funny, Pictures by Heather on Wednesday 9 April 2008 at 3:03 pm

What type of house would you live in or build if you were a celebrity? Would you build a home that depicts your hobbies, or would you build a place that is so “you” or so overpriced that you couldn’t sell it no matter how hot the market? With those questions in mind, we sought the ten top most ridiculous, obnoxious, and just plain ugly celebrity pads around. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so what we think is tacky might seem gorgeous and practical to another beholder…The list below is in no particular order. While the sites are numbered, the numbering does not indicate that we favor one site over another or that they are listed in order of value.

  1. Britney's Malibu HomeBritney Spears: According to public records, Spears purchased the Malibu, California house through her Love Shack Trust in October 2004 for $6,300,000. The 7,400 square foot home boasts a pool, a spa, tennis court and gym, a maid’s quarters, seven bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms. Spears put the home on the market in January 2007 for $13.5 million, but the price dropped in March to $11.8 million. The house, which is located in the exclusive gated Serra Retreat area where such stars as Mel Gibson live, may have priced itself out of the market for the moment. Additionally, rumor has it that the gated estate was too overly-customized to Mr. and Mrs. Spears’ tastes. According to the linked source, “A bar in every room was too over-the-top for the average potential buyer in that price range - not to mention the lavish poolside bar built over which once was the tennis court.” This past March, papers were served to Britney and she was almost evicted because she hadn’t paid the rent. It appears that Britney’s financial team screwed up, but that all payments now are current.
  2. Travolta's Airport HomeJohn Travolta: No, this isn’t an airline terminal. It’s the home of John Travolta and family, built specifically to house his Gulfstream and Boeing 707B. The home is located immediately off a main airstrip in Ocala, Florida, and it’s designed so his jets can taxi right up to two outbuildings connected to the main structure that’s shaped like a truncated air-control tower. Although the property came equipped with a 7,500-foot runway, Travolta extended the taxiway to reach the house. Actress Kelly Preston, Travolta’s wife, can tell when John’s home, as the planes are visible from the living area inside the home. If that’s not enough airline for you, wait until you see the mural in the dining area that was culled from a 1937 Fortune magazine ad. Diners can pretend they’re eating in the lobby of a 1930s Paris airport.
  3. NeverlandMichael Jackson: Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch served as the pop singer’s private amusement park and home when the facility opened in 1988, but it’s no longer in operation. This ridiculous property, which lies over 2,800 acres, contains a zoo, a theme park with Ferris wheel, merr-go-round, zipper, spider, sea dragon, wave swinger, super slide, dragon wagon kiddie roller coaster, and bumper cars. Named for Neverland, the fantastical island in the story of Peter Pan where children never grow up, the ranch is located near Los Olivos, California. As of March, 2008, the property remains in foreclosure proceedings, with a possible auction slated unless Jackson clears his debt. The auction may be forestalled by a loan extension offered by his loan holder Fortress Investments, according to Fox News.
  4. Rennert EstateIra Rennert: Rennert, a publicity-shy billionaire founder of the Renco Group, is known more for his obnoxious New York Hamptons home than he is for anything else. This mansion is considered one of the largest occupied residential compounds in America, and - if put on the market - may be the valued as the most expensive home on earth. The home sits on 63 acres, and the buildings cover over 110,000 square feet including the 66,000 square foot main house. The main building contains a 91-foot long dining room, 29 bedrooms and 39 bathrooms. Fair Field, named after the adjoining Fairfield Pond, also contains a bowling alley, tennis and squash courts, and a $150,000 hot tub.
  5. Spelling MansionCandy Spelling: Producer Aaron Spelling tore down Bing Crosby’s old home to build this ridiculous 56,000-square-foot, 123-room Los Angeles, California estate. Unarguably the largest estate in California, this hotel-sized mansion sports a bowling alley and a single room devoted entirely to gift wrapping. While rumors ran rampant that Aaron’s widow, Candy, would sell the home in 2006 following Aaron’s death, Candy dispelled the rumors and continues to reside alone in the mansion. Candy Spelling is the mother of Tori and Randy Spelling, both actors. Candy and Tori have remained hot in celebrity mags, thanks to their feuds over Aaron’s inheritance, Tori’s portrayal of her mother in a VH1 sitcom, and other family feudal issues.
  6. Will and Jada Smith's castleWill Smith: This is Will and Jada Smith’s ridiculously obnoxious mansion, located in California. Their estate is described as a Calabasas castle, as it has its own lake, basketball court, tennis court and a pair of private par threes in the backyard. The estate took over seven years to build at $20 million. Smith stated, “The problem is that you build your dream home, but then you’re seven years older so it’s the house you used to want real bad!” By 2004, when they had seven months until they could move in, Smith added, “We’ve got about seven more months (before we move in). Everybody is excited because we went (to the house) and we let the kids come in and they picked out their rooms. Some of them are not gonna live there because they’re gonna have their own home by the time we actually move in!” The Smith family was forced to leave this home in 2005 when a bush fire threatened to destroy it and several other houses in the same area.
  7. Donald Trump EstateDonald Trump: Donald Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida mansion was primed for the real estate market in 2006, and this 80,000-square-foot estate was priced at $125 million well before the housing meltdown. This obnoxious mansion, which resembles a civic center, totals 62,000 square feet, with nine bedrooms, a ballroom, media room, art gallery, beauty salon, and a 4,100-square-foot conservatory. Additionally, the 6.5-acre property with 475 feet of ocean frontage includes two guest houses, a pool, and parking for 40 cars. Trump purchased the estate for $41.35 million in a 2004 Florida bankruptcy-court auction. Trump renovated Maison de l’Amitié during his tenure, and during the sale it was listed as the most expensive home on the market anywhere in the U.S.
  8. Aspen estateSaudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz: Shortly after His Royal Highness Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz was appointed Secretary-General of the National Security Council by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah on October 16, 2005, he put his house in Aspen, Colorado up for sale. His reason for purchasing this home, which sits on 95 acres, includes his position as Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United States of America from October 24, 1983 to September 8, 2005. However, it appears that His Highness rarely stayed at this U.S. palace. The main portion of the house, which is larger than the White House, includes 16 bathrooms, 15 bedrooms, stables, a tennis court, an indoor swimming pool, outdoor water features and a snowmelt driveway. The price? At the time, the asking price was $135 million, ten million more than what Trump asked for his Palm Beach estate. The Prince took the house off the market in November 2007 after a lack of offers.
  9. Michael VickMichael Vick: The former quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons is languishing in jail and no longer lives in this somewhat tacky Surrey County, Virginia home since he was convicted for dog fighting. The house includes 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a white brick exterior, hardwood floors, and a full basketball court in the backyard. Although the Surry County, Virginia Commissioner of the Revenue stated the dwelling itself is valued at $647,000, and the 15 acres of land upon which the home sits was valued at $100,000, it would be very spooky to live in a home where this celebrity buried dog carcasses. The home sits across the street from a Baptist Church and is surrounded by a large, white fence and was sold at auction in November 2007.
  10. Turkey HillMartha Stewart: Would you pay $8.9 million for this house? That’s what Martha Stewart wants for her Westport, Connecticut home called “Turkey Hill.” The Georgian style house sports nine bedrooms, three baths, several outbuildings and “the nicest garden in town.” However, we feel that - given Martha’s gift for creativity - this house really is a turkey. At least it has plenty of room to roam on 4.03 acres. But, that wallpaper effect on the stairwell needs to go (follow the link to view the images).

Janet Jackson honoured by Gay and Lesbian Alliance

Posted under Celebrities, Janet Jackson, Music People, Singers by Heather on Sunday 6 April 2008 at 11:07 am

Janet Jackson will be honoured by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) this month. The ‘Feedback’ singer is set to be recognised by the organisation for working to combat prejudice against sexuality in the music industry.

She will be presented with the Vanguard Award by US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres at the organisation’s Media Awards in Los Angeles’ Kodak Theatre on April 26.

Janet said: “I have received a number of awards throughout my career, but I am so proud to be receiving the Vanguard Award from GLAAD. Since its inception in 1985, GLAAD has taken the lead in making sure that people will no longer be judged by their gender identity or sexual orientation. I applaud them for their continued work and thank them for this honor from the bottom of my heart.”

Neil G. Giuliano, President of GLAAD, added: “We are delighted to honour Janet Jackson at the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles as such a visible, welcoming and inclusive ally of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. Ms. Jackson has a tremendous following inside the LGBT community and out, and having her stand with us against the defamation that LGBT people still face in our country is extremely significant.”

Previous recipients of the Vanguard Award include Charlize Theron, Antonio Banderas, Liza Minnelli and Whoopi Goldberg.

Steve-O’s Not Crazy - Jackass

Steve-O's Not Crazy - Jackass


After rumors flooded the media about Jackass star Steve-O being admitted to a psych ward, he is speaking out to dispute that. He says, “Everybody thinks I’m in the loony bin, but I’m actually in rehab.”

He has been in a lockdown facility for 26 days. He tells his friend and costar Bam Margera about it in an interview on Bam’s radio show. He tells of how he was evicted from his L.A. apartment last month and he started “sending crazy e-mails to everyone on how I was ready to die. I was like, ‘I’ll jump a motorcycle out of my window to the roof next door.’”

Instead of allowing him to keep that up, his friends, including Johnny Knoxville, staged an intervention and helped him check into a facility in L.A. He was shortly thereafter transferred to rehab.

Amy Winehouse – Scabs, kebabs and rehab

Druggie Amy Winehouse has been spotted while out for a kebab with a face full of scabs. The singer’s spotty skin shocked onlookers as it emerged she is to return to rehab, this time abroad.

Crack addict Amy, 24, whose looks have been ravaged by drugs, also had cuts on her arm as she popped out near her London home. A source said: “Amy has admitted she needs to check into rehab again. There are too many temptations for her in the UK — people around her in London are making it impossible for her to stay clean for any length of time. Her management had considered flying her to a clinic in Israel but are now looking further afield. They are assessing a clinic in Cape Town in South Africa.”

Back to Black star Amy says her skin condition is impetigo, a bacterial infection.

Doctor Carol Cooper said: “The damage is quite severe, but not unusual with crack cocaine abuse. She’s got a number of sores, some of which look infected, and others that have formed ulcers.”

Peter’s dig at drunken Jordan

Posted under Celebrities, Funny, Jordan, Peter Andre by Heather on Tuesday 18 March 2008 at 1:04 pm

I thought I knew exactly who wore the trousers in Peter Andre and Jordan’s relationship, but maybe I was wrong.

Singer Pete has publicly admitted to being a little embarrassed by his wife’s behavior and the photographic evidence of her boozy night out with Alex Curran in Liverpool recently.

Pete said: “Last week, my wife went on a night out with Liverpool footballer Steven Gerrard’s wife, Alex Curran. I’ve only met Alex once, but she seems like a sweet girl. Kate stayed with her in Liverpool and they went out and got drunk.

“The problem with Kate is that she doesn’t go out and drink that often and when she does, it shows what a lightweight she is. She tries to keep up with everyone, but she can’t. To be honest, I was a bit embarrassed by her behaviour. I don’t mind her letting her hair down, but I hated the way she looked in the pictures and I told her so.”

He added: “I don’t care if she’s my wife, I believe in being honest about these things.”

Simon Cowell of American Idol likes to Spy

Creepy?  Yeah, I think so.

Simon Cowell has installed a telescope in his kitchen so he can check out what’s going on with his neighbors around him.  These neighbors include Leo DiCaprio, Christina Aguilera, and John Travolta.

He says in the London Mirror, “It isn’t powerful enough to see into their homes - so you can’t see them in shower - but you can see into their gardens.  It’s great fun.  I just like to keep an eye on what is happening.”

Simon shares his Hollywood mansion with his girlfriend Terri Seymour.  Sad life, wishing he was like the others.

Cobain’s Daughter Speaks Out

Frances Bean Cobain has given a rare interview, in which she expressed disbelief at the public’s fascination with her life. The daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love says she hopes to break free of her parents’ shadow as she nears adulthood.

Appearing in a Harper’s Bazaar spread, Frances Bean spoke of her hopes and plans for the future and insisted, “I’m not my parents”. Speaking about the public’s interest in her life, she explained: “These people are fascinated by me, but I haven’t done anything. If you’re a big Nirvana fan a big Hole fan then I understand why you would want to get to know me, but I’m not my parents.”

“People need to wait until I’ve done something valid with my life”, said Cobain, who is considering a career in the media as a journalist or photographer.

Posh needles with David


It looks like David wasn’t the only Beckham to visit the tattoo parlour recently. After seeing Becks show off his new ink work in Brazil yesterday, Victoria has followed suit by unveiling a new etching on her wrist.

Victoria’s new ink work is modest in comparison to her husband’s star design; opting for a small script underneath her old roman numeral tattoo. However at the Spice Girl’s gig in Boston Posh was sporting a bandage on the back of her neck, sparking rumours that there is more ink work to be discovered.

Do the Beckhams do everything together?

Britney in hospital

The Britney Spears saga continues and in the latest episode we see Britney being taken away in an ambulance. Well that’s one way to get attention…

Police were called to the Spears mansion on Thursday night because she was refusing to hand the children over to their father as part of a court order. They said Spears was under the influence of an unknown substance and had been taken to hospital for a possible mental health evaluation.

An ambulance, a fire engine and six police cars were reportedly seen at the singer’s house; and Britney’s youngest son Jayden James was also driven away in a separate ambulance.

It’s anyone’s guess what the fire engine was for…

Gary Barlow Take That & Party

After their London show on Saturday, the Take That boys decided to treat themselves to a well earned lads night out and hit a club.

And why not they are still hot-blooded males after all. The usual can be said for the evening. Their was dancing (Jason) and drinking of many beers (Howard) and all were pretty well behaved and seem to have had a very enjoyable evening. Fair play to them.

Meanwhile, whilst his fellow band mates were partying, Gary Barlow could be found sitting in the corner. Drinking Coffee. At 1am.

Errm Gary what happened to Take That and Party? Perhaps he’s getting boring in his old age.

Handbags at Dawn

Charlotte and Jermaine

It is almost every man’s dream to have two beautiful women fighting over you; but I have to say love rat Jermaine Defoe deserves everything he gets. He recently unceremoniously dumped gorgeous fiancée Charlotte Mears for Celeb Big Brother muppet Danielle Lloyd.

But it was Danielle that had to lock herself in her car last week as she pulled up to Defoe’s house at the exact same time as his ex-fiancée. Ouch…good timing!

A source said, “Charlotte hit the roof and laid into her saying she had ruined her life. She was swearing at her and screaming. Danielle was too scared to get out of the car. She locked the doors and rang a pal in panic. She eventually had to drive off because Charlotte wouldn’t back down.”

Personally you can’t blame her. Not only has Danielle had more England players than you can count on your left hand; losing your fella to a girl who was dating football OAP Teddy Sheringham not so long ago must be a real body blow.

Remy Ma is Intimidating

Remy Ma

Rapper Remy Ma is already facing assault charges but that isn’t stopping a judge from ordering her to face trial on gang assault and witness intimidation charges too. The additional charges reportedly stem from a beat down Remy allegedly had some male friends put on a boyfriend of a witness who was set to testify in her assault trial.

A lawyer for the 26-year old rapper, whose real name is Remy Smith, tried to have the extra gang assault and intimidation charges dismissed saying there was insufficient evidence to indict his client.

Remy’s next court date is scheduled for January 3.

Slick Rick Gets Icy

Slick Rick

A long time ago, back before Slick Rick started spending his money like crazy, he can read his watch without blinding himself. I can’t say the same right now.

Just to remind everyone that he was richer than us, the rap pioneer got all blinged out by wearing a diamond crusted eye-patch, diamond rings, diamond necklaces with diamond pendants a diamond watch complete with four extra rings of diamonds. And it was all worn to a party at the Velvet Room in Atlanta over the weekend.

And even if you can’t see it in the picture, he still has those OG gold teeth too! I just hope he has enough money to hire a bodyguard.

Nicole is Too Hot

Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole Scherzinger is too hot to handle on the cover of Rap-Up magazine’s December 2007/January 2008 issue. She talks about a lot of things in the accompanying interview including the artists she admires, her ex, who she wants to date and many more.

When asked about who she admires, she said “I think Beyoncé is just amazing. She blows my mind. Gwen Stefani is one-of-a-kind. She’s the epitome of cool. Diana Ross—I wish I could be her. Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, all those people…”

When asked about which celebrity she would want to date, she said “I think one time I was like, ‘Matthew McConaughey is such a hottie and he’s a surfer.’ I used to kinda have a crush on him. Everybody loves that guy from The Notebook [Ryan Gosling]. Every girl watches and is like, ‘That’s gonna be me one day. It’s gonna be my guy.’”
