SIMPSON'S AFRICAN EPIPHANY
Pop star JESSICA SIMPSON insists she knew it was time to leave ex-husband NICK LACHEY when she went on a charity mission to Africa on their anniversary and he opted to stay home.


NICK LACHEY and JESSICA SIMPSON attending the 3rd Annual Los Angeles Gala for Operation Smile at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Beverly Hills, California - 22.09.04

The singer went to Africa last year (05) on behalf of Operation Smile which helps children with facial deformities.

She explains, "I went there on our three-year wedding anniversary. He stayed home. On that day, everything became so clear.

"I was in hospitals with all these sick kids, and I was looking at the beauty of this whole different world. I just knew I needed to find something more in my life - on my own.

"I prayed, then looked up at the sky, and I'd never seen this before - it was a double rainbow. It was the most gorgeous thing ever.

"From that moment on, I've listened to JUDY GARLAND's SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW every single day."

Soon after Simpson returned home, she told Lachey she wanted a divorce.

She adds, "At some point we realised that everything is not what we expected it to be, as hurtful as that may be."

MADONNA'S H+M FASHION COLLECTION FAILING?
MADONNA's fashion line at Swedish retail giant H+M is failing to ignite sales according to media reports in the US.


Madonna leaving her gym. London, England - 18.10.06.

Three months after Madonna launched her tracksuit in three colours to much fanfare, the merchandise still remains in the store suffering from lacklustre sales.

British designer STELLA McCARTNEY created a near riot at H+M stores last year (05), when she designed a special collection, which immediately sold out.

The US spokesperson for the company tells Radar Online that sales comparison's to McCartney's collection aren't fair because the designer created the 30 to 50 piece line herself, while Madonna's contribution "is just a tracksuit that we had designed."

Media reports at the time claimed the HUNG UP star had designed the trendy tracksuit as a thank you to the company for providing her dancers, band and crew members with a full off-stage wardrobe during her global CONFESSIONS tour.

The H+M spokesperson claims the sales of the tracksuit are doing "very well" but refused to reveal any sales numbers, saying the success of the piece was based on company expectations, not exact sales figures.

SLEEPING DOGS LIE - DOWNLOAD THE FIRST 8 MINUTES CLIP
In Theaters October 20, 2006

image hosted by SuperPhotoSpace.com image hosted by SuperPhotoSpace.com image hosted by SuperPhotoSpace.com

Director: Bob Goldthwait
Cast: Bryce Johnson, Colby French, Geoffrey Pierson, Jack Plotnick, Melinda Page Hamilton
Synopsis: Amy (Melinda Page Hamilton) is a seemingly normal young girl, adored by her parents and golden-boy fiancé, John (Bryce Johnson). Her future looks bright until her fiancé suggests they tell each other their darkest secrets…things they have never told anyone. When Amy finally relents and reveals her secret, everything falls apart.

Bobcat Goldthwait has written and directed a story that adeptly explores honesty, family, forgiveness, and courage. By frankly probing our relationships and idealization of the absolute virtues of honesty, SLEEPING DOGS LIE is a funny and perceptive dark comedy.

"Sleeping Dogs Lie" is independent filmmaking at its best: raw, original, and hilarious. Fueled by a standout lead performance by Melinda Page Hamilton, well-drawn characters and Goldthwait's very special sensibilities, this sparkling comedy proves that it doesn't take money to make a film that everyone will want to see.

'MADONNA WILL HELP US OUT', SAYS BANDA
LATEST: The father of MADONNA's Malawi-born adoptive son DAVID BANDA hopes the tot will persuade his new mum to offer him financial support when he is old enough to understand the poverty in which he was born.
YOHANE BANDA, who earns a pittance spraying potatoes in fields, insists he wasn't sad to see his son leave because he believes he will ultimately benefit from the pop queen's adoption of the 13-month-old.

He says, "I'm not really missing Davie because we have agreed with Madonna that he will visit us in three or four year's time.

"I am not asking for anything from Madonna, but when Davie grows up and is brought here and sees our poverty, he will certainly ask his mum to help."

EVANS SCANDAL BOOSTS REALITY SHOW RATINGS
SARA EVANS' divorce scandal gave US reality TV dance-off DANCING WITH THE STARS its best ratings of the season on Tuesday night (17OCT06) when 21 million viewers tuned in to watch the country star talk about her marriage break-up.
Evans taped an interview with show host TOM BERGERON on Saturday (14OCT06) and the chat aired at the end of this week's dance competition show.

The country singer agreed to tape the interview after deciding to quit the show and concentrate on spending time with her children after filing for divorce from husband CRAIG SCHELSKE last week (ends13OCT06).

During the chat with Bergeron, Evans confirmed she plans to return to the show for the finale next month (15NOV06), stating, "I believe with my whole heart that I was put on that show for a reason and that I was in the midst of this show during this time for a reason and I'll never forget it."

Evans has accused her husband of having an affair with their nanny, among other claims.

MCCARTNEY HITS BACK AT MILLS' SHOCKING CLAIMS
LATEST: SIR PAUL McCARTNEY has hit back at his estranged wife HEATHER MILLS' accusations of violence and excessive substance abuse during their marriage, insisting he will ''vigorously'' defend his innocence.


SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY

Mills filed court papers yesterday (18OCT06) alleging the former BEATLE had attacked her when she was pregnant and on another occasion stabbed her in the arm with a broken wine glass.

McCartney was also said to have verbally abused his wife, calling her an "ungrateful bitch", and objected vociferously when the amputee asked to purchase an antique bedpan so she didn't have to crawl to the toilet during the night.

Among a series of alleged incidents pinpointed in the court papers, McCartney is said to have become "very angry, yelled at her, grabbed her neck and started choking her" in August 2003 when she asked him if he had been smoking cannabis.

In April 2006, McCartney is accused of pouring a bottle of red wine over his wife's head before throwing the wine in his glass at her. He "then reached to grab the respondent's (Mills) wine glass and broke the bowl of the glass from the stem.

However, McCartney has broken his silence in order to defend himself against the shocking claims.

A statement released by the star's lawyers reads: "Since the breakdown of his marriage Sir Paul McCartney has maintained his silence in not commenting on the media stories believing that it was best for all concerned, particularly his children, for there to be some dignity in what is a private matter.

"Our client would very much like to respond in public and in detail to the allegations made recently against him by his wife and published in the press, but he recognises, on advice, that the only correct forum for his response to the allegations made against him is in the current divorce proceedings.

"Our client will be defending these allegations vigorously and appropriately."

A close pal of McCartney, GEOFF BAKER, speaks more plainly to British newspaper The Sun, "I would not believe her if she told me the sun set in the west, and I mean that.

"I would not believe this fabricating t**t. She wants her name in the paper and is only saying it for attention."

The couple, who have a two-year-old daughter, BEATRICE, separated acrimoniously earlier this year (06).

FABOLOUS CHARGED WITH WEAPONS VIOLATIONS
LATEST: Rapper FABOLOUS has been charged with five counts of criminal possession of a weapon, just one day after being shot in the leg by an unknown assailant.


Fabolous at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards held at Radio City Music Hall. New York City - 31.08.06

Police found two loaded guns in the car that was rushing the hip-hop star to hospital early Tuesday morning (17OCT06) in New York City.

Authorities claim the altercation started after an unknown man approached the 28-year-old rapper, whose real name is JOHN JACKSON, and opened fire, striking him once in the thigh.

Fabolous and his three cohorts, who have also been charged, jumped into a vehicle and sped from the scene, running a red light in the process.

Cops pulled the car over and upon closer inspection discovered two loaded guns, both of which were allegedly unlicensed.

All four men in the vehicle, including a bleeding Fabolous, were arrested. Police are still looking for the shooter.

If convicted on all charges, the men could spend anywhere from three and a half years to 15 years in prison.

The BREATHE rapper, who is currently listed in stable condition, posted $15,000 (GBP8300) bail and is due back in court on Friday (20OCT06).

SPEARS GOES ON SHOPPING SPREE TO CELEBRATE WEIGHT LOSS
BRITNEY SPEARS went on a shopping spree last week (ends15OCT06) to celebrate losing over half the weight she gained while pregnant with her second child.


Britney Spears arriving at the Conway recording studio with her minder. Los Angeles, USA - 08.08.06

The 24-year-old was browsing in Malibu, California boutique Planet Blue on 9 October (06) and snapped up 45 pieces for her new svelte frame.

Five weeks after giving birth to son SUTTON PIERCE (12SEP06), Spears has reportedly dropped 26 pounds (12 kilograms) - without a trainer, diet pills or a nutritionist.

A family friend of Spears says, "She is not treating herself with food and desserts anymore."

According to an employee at the store, the TOXIC star gushed that she was "a whole new size - an eight," and needed "all new clothes."

Spears weight reportedly jumped from 120 (54 kilograms) to 160 (73 kilograms) during her pregnancy, but has slimmed down with diet and exercise.

Another store employee, JENNY ROSSI, tells American publication Us Weekly, "She requested T-shirts, jeans, sweaters, dresses and coats."

Spears, who is working out six days a week, hits the treadmill each morning, followed by weight lifting and then does sit-ups in the evening.

She is also taking off the excess weight with a diet of six small meals a day, ditching her love of fast food for healthy snacks like fruit, nuts and low-fat yogurt.

Spears hard work has apparently paid off, according to husband KEVIN FEDERLINE's representative MIKE ESTERMAN: "Kevin loves the way Britney looks."

THE LOOKING GLASS WARS NEW TRAILERS
Release Date: September 26, 2006

image hosted by SuperPhotoSpace.com

A little girl named Alice tumbled down a rabbit hole and proceeded to have a charming adventure in the delightful, made-up world of Wonderland...Now discover the truth behind Alyss of Wonderland . . .

Alyss Heart, heir to the Wonderland throne, was forced to flee through the Pool of Tears after a bloody palace coup staged by the murderous Redd. Lost and alone in Victorian London, Alyss is befriended by an aspiring author to whom she tells the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life only to see it published as the nonsensical Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alyss had trusted Lewis Carroll to tell the truth so that someone, somewhere would find her and bring her home. But Carroll had gotten it all wrong. He even misspelled her name! If not for royal bodyguard Hatter Madigan's nonstop search to locate the lost princess, Alyss may have become just another society woman sipping tea in a too-tight corset instead of returning to Wonderland to fight Redd for her rightful place as the Queen of Hearts.

Meet the heroic, passionate, monstrous, vengeful denizens of this parallel world as they battle each other with AD-52's and orb generators, navigate the Crystal Continuum, bet on jabberwock fights and travel across the Chessboard Desert.

The Looking Glass Wars unabashedly challenges our Wonderland assumptions of mad tea parties, sleepy dormice, and a curious little blonde girl to reveal an epic battle in the endless war for Imagination.

HASSELHOFF BATTLES BOOZING REPORTS
DAVID HASSELHOFF's publicist is playing down reports the former BAYWATCH star is still battling his boozing problems following a US tabloid report claiming the actor and singer checked out of a secret rehab facility after just three days.


David Hasselhoff at HMV, Oxford Street signing copies of his new single. London, England - 02.10.06

Hasselhoff, who has been candid about his alcohol abuse issues in recent years, checked himself into Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in a bid to beat his drinking problems once and for all, according to the National Enquirer.

The publication claims the actor signed out after just three days on 12 October (06).

But Hasselhoff's spokeswoman JUDY KATZ insists his short hospital came after her client fell ill while taking pain medication prescribed to him as he attempts to repair a slashed wrist following a much-publicised shaving accident in London.

Katz is adamant that Hasselhoff isn't boozing again and insists the reports are ridiculous because Cedars-Sinai Medical Center "doesn't have a detox unit," but insiders aren't convinced.

One tells the Enquirer, "David's a mess. He's been drinking steadily for months. I think David is in a constant state of denial... He's got a problem."

MCCONAUGHEY AND ARMSTRONG: 'WE'RE NOT GAY'
MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY and Tour De France winner LANCE ARMSTRONG have laughed off rumours they are gay and insist they're nothing more than great friends.


Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey at the New York premiere of ' Failure To Launch ' held at Clearview Chelsea West Theater. New York City, USA - 08.03.06

The two, along with pal JAKE GYLLENHAAL, were frequently photographed together this summer (06) - often shirtless - biking, running and partying.

The pair's close bond even sparked a new term - a "bro-mance."

McConaughey addresses the rumours in the new issue of Details magazine joking, "We tried it (being gay). It wasn't for us."

The two Austin, Texas, natives had known each other for eight years, and really began to bond when they both found themselves back on the dating scene at the same time.

McConaughey, 36, had broken up with actress PENELOPE CRUZ, while Armstrong, 35, had called off his engagement to singer SHERYL CROW.

Armstrong explains, "Our relationship just kind of developed. He got out of a relationship; I'd just gotten out of a relationship.

"We all have those kinds of relationships - and relationship isn't a bad word.

"I mean, we all have buds, we all take guy trips, but you take something very normal and you put it in a magazine, and people start talking."

McConaughey adds, "A lot of people don't understand friendship and brotherhood. I have a great friend in him. It's fun going out and living life and doing things at the drop of a hat."

Armstrong insists the actor's laid back lifestyle has been a good influence on him - especially when it comes to tabloid gossip.

He adds, "His idea is like, 'Look, it is what it is, so go out there and have fun.' He's truly carefree - which is to say, he truly doesn't care."

WILCO STAR EXPLAINS STAGE FIGHT ON WEBSITE
LATEST: WILCO frontman JEFF TWEEDY lashed out at a stage-invading fan during a Monday night (16OCT06) concert in Missouri because he felt "unsafe" performing.
The singer was half an hour into the band's set at the Shrine Mosque venue when a man evaded security, ran up to Tweedy and attempted to kiss him.

But Tweedy was convinced the fan was out to attack him and punched him.

The singer has since posted a message on the band's website, explaining his actions and blaming the venue's security officials for failing to protect the group.

He fumes, "I suspect had I felt safer on that stage, had security been doing a better job all night long, well, things would have gone differently.

"He (the fan) approached me from behind and I reacted in defense to get him away. I didn't know what his intentions were, and I had to get him off of me. I'm sad that it happened at all."

Following Monday night's concert incident, an ashamed Tweedy told fans, "I feel terrible. I don't like to punch someone in the face. It sucks... I was having a really good time, but now I want to go sit down somewhere."

DIAMOND TO CASH IN ON SEX TAPE SCANDAL
Former SAVED BY THE BELL star DUSTIN DIAMOND has stunned fans by choosing to take a cut of the profits from of his notorious sex tape instead of spending thousands of dollars trying to ban its release.
Diamond, who played nerdy SCREECH on the 1990s high school series, claims he wasn't looking for a second career when he filmed himself having sex with two women four years ago.

He tells American publication Us Weekly, "I'm not an adult actor. I did something stupid in private."

Diamond, who is dating his manager, JENNIFER MISNER, claims he and some pals each made sex tapes as a joke.

He says that someone leaked his tape, but insists he doesn't know who.

Although he initially threatened to sue, the 29-year-old has now decided to make a profit on the 40-minute sex tape, tentatively titled SAVED BY THE SMELL, which will be released next month (NOV06).

Diamond explains, "I thought, I can spend a fortune fighting this or I can try and make a fortune."

He adds, "Let's just say, if I were a small man, it would be worse."

HEARING SET FOR MICHELLE WILLIAMS' FATHER
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN star MICHELLE WILLIAMS' father was ordered to face an extradition hearing on Wednesday (18OCT06) over tax evasion charges in the US.
Australian police, responding to a request from US authorities, arrested LARRY WILLIAMS, a prominent stock market trader in May (06) in Sydney.

The 64-year-old flew Down Under earlier this year (06) to begin a month-long speaking tour in Australia and New Zealand.

After his arrest, Williams was released on $753,000 (GBP418,000) bail.

Appearing before Sydney's Central Local Court, Williams was ordered on Wednesday to face a hearing on 26 March (06).

The US Internal Revenue Service wants to question Williams, a resident of the Virgin Islands, about a possible $1.5 million (GBP833,000) in unpaid taxes from book royalties and earning from international seminars he conducted between 1990 and 2001.

MOVIE TRAILERS FOR THIS WEEK'S
Release Date: October 20, 2006

FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS

Cast: Barry Pepper, Jesse Bradford, Paul Walker, Robert Patrick, Ryan Phillippe

Synopsis: From Academy Award®-winning director Clint Eastwood ('Million Dollar Baby,' 'Unforgiven') comes the World War II drama 'Flags of Our Fathers,' produced by Eastwood, Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg ('Saving Private Ryan,' 'Schindler’s List'), and Rob Lorenz ('Mystic River'). February 1945. Even as victory in Europe was finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi. The inspiring photo capturing that moment became a symbol of victory to a nation that had grown weary of war and made instant heroes of the six American soldiers at the base of the flag, some of whom would die soon after, never knowing that they had been immortalized. But the surviving flag raisers had no interest in being held up as symbols and did not consider themselves heroes; they wanted only to stay on the front with their brothers in arms who were fighting and dying without fanfare or glory. 'Flags of Our Fathers' is based on the bestselling book by James Bradley with Ron Powers, which chronicled the battle of Iwo Jima and the fates of the flag raisers and some of their brothers in Easy Company. Bradley’s father, John 'Doc' Bradley, was one of the soldiers pictured raising the flag, although James never knew the full extent of his father’s experiences until after the elder Bradley’s death in 1994. The ensemble cast of 'Flags of Our Fathers' includes Ryan Phillipe ('Crash'), Jesse Bradford ('Happy Endings'), Adam Beach ('Windtalkers'), Paul Walker ('Into the Blue'), Jamie Bell ('Billy Elliot'), Barry Pepper ('Saving Private Ryan') and John Benjamin Hickey ('Flightplan'). Clint Eastwood directed 'Flags of Our Fathers' from a screenplay adapted by William Broyles, Jr. ('Cast Away') and Oscar winner Paul Haggis ('Million Dollar Baby,' 'Crash').
