Primal Scream avoid festival partying

Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie arrives as late as possible to his concerts as he worries he will get too ''trashed'' to perform otherwise.

Bobby Gillespie turns up to concerts at the last minute because he worries about getting too drunk to perform.

The singer's band Primal Scream were previously famed for their wild ways and though they have curbed their partying lifestyle, the singer admits he takes precautions to minimise temptation.

He said: "I get in as late as possible and get out as soon as I leave the stage. It's women and children first, every man for himself.

I don't like the risk of getting too trashed to play. It's nearly happened before. We headlined the first T in the Park festival in Scotland. I had to be carried onstage I was so hammered.

"I don't like the risk of getting too trashed to play. It's nearly happened before. We headlined the first T in the Park festival in Scotland. I had to be carried onstage I was so hammered."

The 'Rocks' hitmaker also admitted his group's excesses led to their worst-ever performance.

He told Q magazine: "The worst show we did was probably a German festival called Aachen in 1994.

"Our guitarist Robert Young refused to get on the plane from Athens so we did the gig without him and it was terrible. It was a low point, but that's drug addiction."

McIntyre: Mountains of money smooth way for The Edge's Malibu project

Joe is a big bearded man with a badge, a gun and a Smokey the Bear hat. He loves everything green - grass, trees and money, especially other people's money.

Ask famous U2 guitarist, David Evans, a.k.a., The Edge.

Evans bought 156 acres on Sweetwater Mesa above Malibu with the idea of developing a mini-enclave, including his own dream house, along with four other mogul-homes. It's good to be a rock star.

It's even better being Joe.

As in Joseph T. Edmiston, the Godfather behind America's most perfect political machine- the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (SMMC) and the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA)- which is quite a mouthful.

The Edge quickly learned building on the California Coast is no simple matter, even if you know Bono. Since 2006 Evans has been denied permits from the various regulatory agencies, including the fatal opposition of the California Coastal Commission (CCC) and Edmiston's hydra-headed SMMC/MRCA.

Joe and his wingmen at the Coastal Commission threw every possible obstacle in Evans' way, chewing up a fortune in revised architectural drawings and legal fees. Not content to simply bankrupt a challenger, Edmiston's playbook also calls for character assassination. He and/or his goons malign anyone who has the audacity to insist upon their property rights by inflaming the passions of class warfare.

A famous multi-millionaire rock star wants to rip up a pristine ridgeline so

he can party in the company of A-list neighbors, hogging a Pacific vista Mother Nature bequeathed to future generations! It's demagoguery 101.

But The Edge is pretty sharp.

He realized the Coastal Commission is hopeless - a wild-eyed gaggle of ideologues and zealots who are impervious to reason. However, Edmiston's "principles" are negotiable.

In fact, they're cash and carry.

After fighting the project for years, Edmiston has suddenly agreed to keep the SMMC/MRCA "neutral" in the permit fight with the Coastal Commission.

He's also agreed to have the SMMC/MRCA "communicate support in writing" and "attend public meetings and hearings and speak in favor" of the very project he so vigorously opposed.

What's in it for him?

A cash payoff of $750,000 to the SMMC/MRCA and an additional quarter million for a consultant.

While the world watches Middle Easterners fight and die to cast off un-elected tyrants who rule by decree, thousands of acres of private lands in California have been either arbitrarily seized by Edmiston, or wrested away by the ruthless exercise of his limitless powers. An un-elected autocrat, Joe Edmiston has terrorized private property owners for three decades with no countervailing political checks and balances of any kind.

How does he get away with it?

Perhaps you've thrown a Frisbee at "The Michael Antonovich Regional Park" or taken in the vista from "Zev Yaroslavsky Mulholland Gateway Park" or jogged at sunset along "The Sheila Kuehl Beach Reserve?"

Politicians burnish their green credentials courtesy of Joe while private citizens are forced to fight him in court or buy him off.

Meanwhile fundamental property rights are routinely trampled by Edmiston's empire. The SMMC - and even more so the MRCA - represent a monumental mockery of the rule of law.

Obviously property owners don't have absolute rights. But neither does the government.

The basic objectives of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority might be noble- preserving California's natural beauty- but Joe's methodology is Machiavellian. These rogue agencies threaten the very notion of a self-governing people.

When Edmiston is allowed to use regulations and codes, joint power agreements, "Benefit Assessment District" taxes, the threat of expensive litigation and actual police powers - including guns - to enforce his will, we have lost the mantel of citizenship and are once again subjects to the whims of an arbitrary ruler.

The Edge's fight is our fight. Rock on.

Charlie Sheen Pens Scathing Letter Blasting Chuck Lorre

charlienatalie Charlie Sheen Pens Scathing Letter Blasting Chuck Lorre

Charlie Sheen has blasted ?Two and a Half Men? creator Chuck Lorre in a letter after hearing of plans to relaunch the show without him.

Chuck Lorre plans on taking the ?Two and a Half Men? television show in a new direction, one that does not include troubled actor Charlie Sheen.

Charlie Sheen has lashed out at Lorre in a letter.

The letter reads:

?My fans may tune in for a minute, but at the end of the day, no one cares about your feeble show without me. Shame on you? A narcissist. A coward. A loser. A spineless rat. I?m out here with my fans every night (on my tour). The message is crystal clear; no Charlie Sheen. No show.

And that?s exactly what it will be for you? every Monday night, a no-show.

The ratings right now are not a fluke. It?s a big fat mess. A 2.0 demo? That sucks. Almost as bad as you. You?ve been warned ? no one cares about your feeble show without me. Shame on you. Not even a phone call to the man that put you on the map. The man that put 500 million dollars in your pockets.?

You?ve been warned. Reap the whirl-wind you cockroach, reap it.?

Whoah! Now don?t hold back Charlie!� What do you think of Charlie?s letter?

Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy's relationship has been very on and off

Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton ? the next royal romance?

Read more >

Chelsy Davy was watching from the pews as boyfriend Prince Harry followed just-married Prince William and Kate Middleton down the aisle at Westminster Abbey.

And she might have been better to have looked away.

The cheeky Prince, who was Best Man to brother Wills at today's Royal Wedding, laughed and joked with Maid Of Honour Pippa Middleton, 27, as they walked arm-in-arm at the end of the ceremony.

The pair whispered to each other and couldn't stop grinning - perhaps in anticipation of tonight's reception at Buckingham Palace, where Harry's sure to embarrass Will with his speech.�

Zimbabwe-born Chelsy, 25 - who has been dating Harry, 26, on and off for a number of years - chose a turquoise Alberta Ferretti mini-skirt and off-the-shoulder top for the event.

But it seemed Harry's eyes were all on Pippa, who wore a classy ivory full-length silk gown to perfectly complement her sister's lace retro-style Sarah Burton wedding dress.�

The Hangover 2 Producers Sued For Mike Tyson Face Tattoo Ripoff


If you've seen The Hangover, you know Mike Tyson has a small, but pivotal and hilarious role. He's not in the sequel, but if you've seen The Hangover 2 previews, you know his infamous face tattoo is - when Ed Helms wakes up with it.

The guy who tattooed Tyson in real life years ago is unamused.


The Hangover 2 Clip - Where Are We?

S. Victor Whitmill claims he created AND copyrighted the tat he affixed to Mike Tyson's face in 2003, and is suing Warner Bros. in federal court.

Whitmill says he's never allowed anyone to use the image and that the studio violated his copyright by using it on a hung over Helms in the film.

In addition to wanting the scenes cut from the film (don't bet on it) Whitmill is also demanding a cash settlement of an undisclosed amount.

No comment yet from Tyson, who remains certifiably nuts for having that design - however artistic - tattooed on his face. His face.

Producer Khari ?Needlz? Cain was honored at the 28th Annual ASCAP Pop Awards ceremony for his work on Bruno Mars? Grammy Award-winning smash, ?Just The Way You Are.?� After a decade of producing hits for 50 Cent (?Piggy Bank?) Jadakiss (?Letter To B.I.G.?) and Lupe Fiasco (?Hurt Me Soul?) and many other hip-hop staples,� Needlz has made a splash in the Pop arena. During his recent visit to NY he sat down with TheUrbanDaily.com?s Senior Editor and production enthusiast to talk about the ASCAP win and working with Lupe on his latest album, Lasers.

Mike Tyson's Tattoo Artist Sues to Stop Release of 'Hangover 2'

S. Victor Whitmill, the award-winning tattoo artist who gave Mike Tyson his well-known facial ink, filed a lawsuit in federal court in Missouri on Thursday seeking an injunction against Warner Bros. that would stop the studio from releasing 'The Hangover Part 2.'

"When Mr. Whitmill created the Original Tattoo, Mr. Tyson agreed that Mr. Whitmill would own the artwork and thus, the copyright in the Original Tattoo," the court papers read (via The Hollywood Reporter). "Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. ? without attempting to contact Mr. Whitmill, obtain his permission, or credit his creation ? has copied Mr. Whitmill's Original Tattoo and placed it on the face of another actor ... This unauthorized exploitation of the Original Tattoo constitutes copyright infringement."

In 'The Hangover Part 2,' the character played by Ed Helms wakes up after a long night of partying with a facial tattoo similar to Tyson's. THR notes that it will be difficult for Warner Bros. to argue that the tats are "coincidentally similar" because Tyson was featured in the first 'Hangover' film and the ink sported by Helms in the second movie seems to be a "direct comedic reference to Tyson."


Warners, which was forced to make a large payout to the author of the source material for its 'Dukes of Hazzard' film when he filed an injunction to stop its release, will have to prove that the copyright isn't valid (or settle with Whitmill, who calls the ink "one of the most distinctive tattoos in the nation"). In order to do so, the studio can argue that they changed the design enough that it doesn't constitute infringement or that it's a parody.

'The Hangover Part II' hits theaters May 26.

Check out trailer below. Is the tattoo different enough, or is it an obvious parody? Let us know if you think in the comments.

Lady Gaga's weekly solo sleep

30 April 2011

Rate this article

Lady Gaga insists on separate bedrooms for herself and Luc Carl once a week as she believes sleeping with her boyfriend every night is bad for her creativity.

Lady Gaga refuses to share a room with her boyfriend once a week.

The 'Born this Way' hitmaker has been accompanied round the world by Luc Carl since they reunited last July, but she regularly insists on booking them separate hotel rooms because she thinks sharing a bed every night would damage her creativity.

A source said: "She calls it her 16th century monarch night as she doesn't always allow Luc to sleep in bed with her. She just summons him when she needs him."

She calls it her 16th century monarch night as she doesn't always allow Luc to sleep in bed with her. She just summons him when she needs him.

The eccentric singer reportedly shows signs of "crazy" behaviour when she is stressed and her worried friends and entourage now believe her bizarre habits - including refusing to pour her own drinks or sit on a chair someone else has previously used - are escalating out of control.

The source told Grazia magazine: "She often suffers bouts of crazy behaviour when she is tired and stressed. It's certainly happening now.

"For example, she always has 28 tour buses, 140 staff and an even number of tables, chairs, glasses and plates in her backstage area.

"She also insists on having her own crockery so she can be sure that no one else has used it and will not sit on a chair that anyone else has sat on before.

"She even has someone on hand to pour her drinks because she thinks pouring for oneself is bad luck."

Leighton Meester has always been a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow and admires her more now after they worked together on 'Country Strong'.

Leighton Meester "loves" Gwyneth Paltrow.

The 25-year-old actress starred with the blonde beauty in 'Country Strong' and says the experience made her an even bigger fan of the Oscar-winning star than she had previously been.

She said: "I've always loved her. I've always looked up to her and I loved working with her.

She's down-to-earth and has a great sense of humour. She's a real girl - beautiful and a great singer and actress. Actually, maybe I hate her!

"She's a real pro. It was zero degrees outside and she was like, 'Whatever. It's fine.'

"She's down-to-earth and has a great sense of humour. She's a real girl - beautiful and a great singer and actress. Actually, maybe I hate her!"

As well as admiring Gwyneth, Leighton is also a life-long fan of Whitney Houston and has loved her music since she was a little girl.

She added: "When I was growing up, I was in a grocery store with my dad one time and I think Whitney Houston was playing. I must've been four and I said, 'This gives my back tingles.'My dad turned to me and said, 'That's what music is supposed to do.'"

Nick Cannon: Pregnant Mariah Carey is 'ready to pop'

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their twins - a boy and a girl.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their twins - a boy and a girl.

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are expecting a special delivery any day now -- their twins!

"We were going to go to the hospital last night actually," Cannon said while guest-co-hosting "The Talk" Thursday.

Carey, who is "ready to just pop," has her bags all packed for the trip and a baby nurse ready to help out.

"I don't know why I'm here," Cannon quipped.

The father-to-be said he tends to be a "daredevil" but the prospect of having to be a parent soon has him rethinking his adventurous ways.

Just a week ago, he said, he was up in a hot air balloon for an "America's Got Talent" segment, which made him think, "I can't do this anymore."

"I gotta start taking into consideration that I have other lives that I am responsible for," Cannon said.

The couple will celebrate its third anniversary on Saturday, but won't be able to renew their vows in an exotic locale as they have the last two years.

"I'm not trying to be a psychic..." Cannon said. "It's probably going to be in the hospital this year. I think we are going to renew our vows in the hospital."

A combined anniversary and birthday? Special indeed!

The District 5 Tributes Have Been Cast In ?The Hunger Games?

Ladies & Gentlemen, We Have a Foxface

Earlier today we read that Woody Harrelson has reportedly been offered the role of Head Gamemaster Seneca Crane in the big screen adaptation of The Hunger Games and that Stanley Tucci and Lenny Kravitz have also been offered unknown roles. Right now, tho, we learn for certain that the boy and girl tributes from District 5 have been cast for the film. Newcomers Chris Mark and Jackie Emerson have won the roles ? both characters are nameless but the girl tribute from District 5 is referred to as Foxface.

Via the official The Hunger Games Facebook page, Lionsgate has announced the casting of Chris Mark and Jackie Emerson as the boy and girl (Foxface) tributes for District 5 in The Hunger Games Movie. Foxface never says a word throughout the novel, but Katniss hears her laugh when the Careers? food is destroyed. She is quick and clever, and dashes in and out of traps to collect what she needs without bloodshed or contact with anyone.

More unknown casting, which is good, but at this point ? the rest of the tributes will likely be played by other actors we?ve never heard of before. Still, I?m very glad they are casting unknown actors in the roles and I?m happy they will continue to do so. I am VERY anxious to hear which known actors will get the plumb roles so any and all casting news from The Hunger Games is welcome by me. Next up, the tributes from District 6?

Paris Hilton, Boyfriend Attacker Jailed

Cy Waits and Paris HiltonJames Rainford, the man who attacked Paris Hilton and her boyfriend Cy Waits on Wednesday, has been sent to jail.

TMZ is reporting that Rainford got sentenced to 227 days in prison after he pleaded 'no contest' to misdemeanor battery.

Rainford was already on probation and the judge threw the book at him for violating the terms of his probation. He was arrested last October after trespassing on the socialite's property and getting into an altercation with her security.

In addition to the jail sentence, Rainford was sentenced to three years informal probation and ordered to stay away from Waits once he's released.


Hilton and Waits were walking into a Superior Court building in Van Nuys when Rainford attempted to grab Waits in the back of the neck. He was immediately subdued by a bodyguard and handed over to police.

After his arrest, Rainford explained to police that he was in love with Hilton and had her father's permission to marry her.

Hilton and Waits were at the Van Nuys courthouse to testify in a case against Nathan Parada who broke into their home last year wielding a knife.

Competition invites entrepreneurs to express what being a founder means to them

The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation is inviting entrepreneurs to read its "Entrepreneur's Pledge," and express what it means to them for a chance to win a ticket to Big Omaha, a sold-out event billed as "the nation's most ambitious conference on innovation and entrepreneurship," to be held May 11-13, 2011 in Omaha, Neb.

�The Foundation created the "Pledge" for entrepreneurs to not only publicly express their enthusiasm for being a business owner, but also to show their support for entrepreneurship as a cause.

Big Omaha's "Express Your Pledge" competition asks entrepreneurs to review the Pledge and explain in 300 words or less what it means to them and at least two ways they could do a better job fulfilling it.

�"Like the Pledge itself, Big Omaha's competition gives founders a chance to voice what it means to contribute to our communities and the economy every day, and to have an opportunity to win a seat at Big Omaha," said Nick Seguin, manager of entrepreneurship at the Kauffman Foundation.

More than 500 innovators and entrepreneurs are expected to attend Big Omaha, which will feature speakers such as Shervin Pishevar, founder and CEO of Social Gaming Network, and Sarah Lacy, senior editor at TechCrunch.

Competition entrants each must complete an online application . Entries are due by April 29, 2011, and the winner will be announced the week of May 2. The winning entrant will be responsible for all travel expenses.

The Entrepreneur's Pledge:

I am�an Entrepreneur.

I am�following a dream, pursuing an opportunity, taking charge of my own destiny.

I am�bringing something of value to society, making a job for myself and for others, and creating wealth that benefits my family, my community, my country, my world.

I am�one of a movement of millions of entrepreneurs and innovators who made America great, and who will continue to keep our economy going...and growing.

I am�what I am because many people have helped me along on this journey.

Therefore:

I will�tell my story, sharing my successes and failures, so that others taking the entrepreneurial path can learn.

I will�strive to mentor an aspiring entrepreneur.

I will�make my voice heard by those who make policy decisions that affect me and my business.

I will�appreciate and celebrate my accomplishments, and the accomplishments of all my fellow entrepreneurs.

I will�give back to the society that helped me to be successful.

I will�Build a Stronger America.

Meredith Vieira -- Leaving 'Today' Show


Meredith Vieira is stepping down from her gig as co-host of the "Today" show on NBC ... this according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Meredith Vieira Leaving Today Show

Vieira will reportedly remain on the show until June --- nearly 3 months before the end of her contract.

According to the report, Vieira will be replaced by newsreader Ann Curry ... and correspondent Natalie Morales will be bumped up to Curry's old spot.

As TMZ first reported, Vieira -- who took the gig next to Matt Lauer in 2006 -- wanted off the show for a while because she hated the early hours, has a husband who is ill and she's making plenty of money doing her syndicated game show, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."

Are Mark Wahlberg And Justin Bieber Making A Movie Together?

Mark Wahlberg told New York Magazine?s Vulture on Tuesday that he is in talks with Justin Bieber to do a movie together.

Hmm.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wahlberg pitched the idea to studio execs over at Paramount, who liked what they heard and are forging ahead with both camps.� Wahblerg told Vulture:

?We?re putting it together. ? We?re doing it at Paramount. We pitched them the idea and, you know, we?re talking about doing it,? Wahlberg said. ?He loves the idea. He?s been sending me video, he sent me a video of himself, and, yeah, I think he?s really talented.?

Though Wahlberg didn?t go into much detail, he did say that the film would be a drama.� While he didn?t get into specifics, Wahlberg did say that ?They [Paramount] may announce it fairly soon ? kind of like a reluctant mentor in an inner-city environment. You know, I don?t want to say.?

So, it?s not going to be a cross between The Fighter and Never Say Never?� Why do I picture Bieber as a little thug with a potty mouth?� We?d love to know what the Biebs thinks of this new collaboration.� He was too busy singing his little heart out at Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia today.

Alex Pettyfer Seems Like A D**k!

alexp2 Alex Pettyfer Seems Like A D**k!

?I Am Number 4? actor Alex Pettyfer sat down for an interview with VMan magazine, showing off his potty-mouth and douchebaggery.� Check out what he had to say!

Actor Alex Pettyfer, 21, sounds like a pretty obnoxious guy.

Why?� Well for starters he revealed to VMan magazine that he has a tattoo in his crotch area that reads ?Thank You?.

Pettyfor was asked why his ink says ?Thank You?, and he replied, ?In case I forget to say it.?

See what we mean about being a douche?

The actor was told by the interviewer that everything he said would be included in the magazine. But Pettyfer didn?t give a rip, saying it was ?f**king funny?.

Then Alex went on to bash Los Angeles if that wasn?t enough.

?L.A. is growing on me a little bit but it?s still a sh** hole,? Pettyfer stated. ?I think it?s this insidious pool where nearly everyone lives in fear. Geographically it?s fantastic, but socially it?s disgusting. I wish they?d run all the c*nts out.?

?I really don?t give a s?t about any of that,? Pettyfer continued. ?I wish I had some interesting stories about living in L.A., but mostly I just do my work and then go home.?

Sounds like a nice guy huh?

Female Talent in China: Challenges and Opportunities

Sylvia Ann Hewlett reports in a guest post from Forbes Woman.

To outsiders, the Chinese economic juggernaut seems unstoppable. Insiders, however, know that the continued success of the world?s second-largest economy ? and that of multinational corporations pinning their financial future on its vast market ? faces a substantial obstacle: an intensifying war for top home-grown talent.

A new study by the Center for Work-Life Policy spotlights a solution that, up to now, has received almost no attention: educated Chinese women. More than 125 representatives of multinationals and local organizations ? both men and women ? gathered in Beijing recently for a conference presenting the data. For many, the research findings were startling, as were its implications for their own talent challenges.

To begin with, the study found, Chinese women are graduating from universities at nearly the same rate as men. Women also represent nearly 40 percent of MBA students at such top-ranked programs as China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) and Tsinghua University, aka ?the Chinese MIT.?

Chinese women consider themselves very ambitious at nearly twice the rate of their U.S. counterparts ? 65% versus 36%. Having been born under China?s one-child policy, today?s 20- and 30-year-olds received the full force of their entire family?s hopes and dreams.

?They definitely don?t have an issue with self-worth,? noted one executive, a comment backed up by CWLP statistics: 83% are eager to be promoted and 76% want the top job.

Furthermore, as Denice Kronau, Siemens? Chief Diversity Officer, points out, China?s career women have a wealth of role models, starting with their mothers: 82% of the women surveyed had mothers who worked. They also have what Pully Chau, Chairman and CEO, Greater China Draftfcb, calls ?a cultural inheritance for multi-tasking. We?re used to being good moms, good daughters and good leaders. That makes us able to sustain high performance in tough times.?

But while the CWLP report describes the many strengths educated women bring to their employers, conference participants were quick to identify the forces that threaten the full utilization of this vital tranche of talent.

?There?s a huge price to pay for family values,? observes Cezary Statuch, Vice President Medical Emerging Markets, Bristol-Myers Squibb. Nearly all Chinese women ? 95 percent ? already shoulder eldercare burdens, obligations which will only increase in synch with China?s rapidly aging society. ?Daughterly guilt? affects an extraordinary 88% of respondents. Maternal guilt hits 86%. ?It?s harder for women to balance marriage, children, eldercare and careers, and, as a result, it will be harder for employers? says Kelvin Koh, Director of Greater China Research, Goldman Sachs.

Extreme jobs have become the norm. Survey respondents in full-time jobs average 71 work hours a week at global multinationals and 72 hours a week in China-headquartered companies.

The situation is getting worse: 31% report working more hours currently than they did three years ago, an average of an additional 18 hours per week. On top of this are crushing travel demands, with 30 percent of the women surveyed reporting a large amount of domestic travel as a regular part of their work.

The toll is tremendous. Attendees heard about an executive woman at a multinational technology firm who plaintively requested, ?I just want to have one meal with my family every day.? When her request was ignored, she saw no option but to quit. ?Something clearly needs to be done or this will deplete the female workforce early in their careers,? warns Kelvin Koh.

Homeless Women Theater Group: GIVE US LINDSAY!

Lindsay Lohan might soon be stagebound -- because TMZ has learned, there's a theater program at the homeless shelter where she's doing community service ... and they want her bad.

0427_downtown_womens_shelter_lilo_ex

A rep for L.A.'s Downtown Women's Center -- an organization for nearby homeless women -- tells TMZ, the theater workshop is extremely interested in having Lindsay contribute her talents when she kicks off her 360 hours of community service this week.

The workshop is called D.I.V.A.S -- which stands for Dames Investing in Very Authentic Storytelling -- and it consists of approximately 15 women who meet two hours a week ... to learn how to express themselves through writing, performing, and the spoken word.

Lindsay hasn't been assigned to a particular workshop ... yet --but we're told she loves the idea of working with the D.I.V.A.S. program ... and thinks it's "a perfect fit for her community service."

Paris Hilton and Boyfriend Attacked at LA Courthouse

Paris Hilton, Cy WaitsParis Hilton and boyfriend Cy Waits were accosted on their way into court Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.

Hilton and Waits were walking into a Superior Court building in Van Nuys when a man attempted to grab Waits in the back of the neck. The attacker was immediately subdued by a bodyguard and handed over to police.

TMZ.com reports the suspect, identified as James Rainford, was also arrested last October after trespassing on the socialite's property and getting into an altercation with her security.

He gave me his blessing. I love Paris," he said. The website also reports pictures of Hilton and love notes to her were found in his pockets.

wielding a knife.

The socialite Tweeted about the attack minutes later: "That other psycho intruder just punched Cy in the back of the head as we were walking into the court house. So scary! :("

Survivor Insider: Who's in Charge of Redemption Island: Rob...or God?

From the moment he arrived on Survivor: Redemption Island, Boston Rob's victory seemed preordained.

He asserted his leadership, established his fan club alliances, is ruthless and cunning?and he has the protection of the Hidden Immunity Idol.

But could God have other plans for Awesome Rob?

TWITTER: Follow @DruMoorhouse for more Survivor scoop!

While everyone else is watching American Idol, God is apparently watching over Matt?who stands a good chance to honor his Savior with a million bucks unless Rob can find a way to oust him from Redemption Island.

Survivor Shuffleboard: Tonight's Redemption Island challenge?which ended predictably in Julie's defeat, despite some teasing by God early on?is a metaphor for this entire season. It's plodding, slow, lacks real action and excitement?and the players aren't going anywhere. They're just shuffling back and forth between camp, Redemption Island, and now the jury. Sure, a few discs were hit outta the court, but I haven't given up on the possibility of Russell Hantz rising up Hunger Games-style from the bowels of the Redemption Island Arena to get this party started.

Peace Out: After Rob stabbed him in the back (twice), Matt took another hit from God. But this time, said Matt, "He hit me with a lot of peace. I think I'm ready to go home. I feel like I came here to accomplish what I set out to do." Not so fast, Jeff Probst chortles after Matt's eighth consecutive victory: "God is not done...You are staying alive on Redemption Island whether you want to be here or not." Two questions: (1) Why didn't he issue proclamations like these to Na'Onka and Purple Kelly last season? (2) Will Pastor Probst tack on another day to this season so Matt can kick it the full 40 days, Jesus-style?

Crowded House: Matt's congregation is growing exponentially, and even though Julie left to find her own church, tonight's double-elimination meant both Ralph and Steve would be sleeping in the pews with Matt and Mike. For the sake of peace in those close quarters, let's hope Steve doesn't try to pick another "crazy" fight.

Fruit Loops: "You cannot mess with the Specialist!" crows Phillip. Why? "It's fruitile," using a surprisingly apropos nonsense word. "It's frivolous," he adds inanely. We might even suggest it's Francesqua! "Most people can't stand the truth," the former federal agent?and if by truth he means Phillip Sheppard, then we can't argue with that logic.

Vision Quest: "You can't pull the wool over the undercover specialist," but thanks to great-great-granddaddy Jessum Herring, said specialist can cover his pink panties with a respectable pair of swim trunks. If only Survivor would introduce another Hidden Immunity Idol so the full-blooded Cherokee ancient could reveal its location to Phillip in a vision and shake things up around camp. What's that you say, Grandpa Jessum? Oh, you're right: He would just hand it over to Awesome Rob.

Let Them Eat Cake: Challenge winner Grant insists he was employing a "strategy" in selecting Matt's self-proclaimed spirit-breaker Andrea to join him and Rob in the chocolate feast. But how many strategic moves does Grant have left? He has to see that he is now Rob's greatest threat at camp. This point in the game?when the original alliance has to start turning on itself?is usually exciting, but not this time. The only thing this group is fighting for is Rob's approval and affection; do they even know a million-dollar prize is stake?

Matt does. And so does God.

Kate Middleton's 'recurring dream' that she's completely nude at her Royal Wedding

Princess-to-be Kate Middleton gets pre-wedding nerves

Kate Middleton will marry Prince William at Westminster Abbey

Kate Middleton's reportedly been having recurring dreams that she's naked as she walks down the aisle at her wedding to Prince William.

The Princess-to-be, whose big day's expected to be watched by billions on Friday, is unsurprisingly having last-minute jitters ahead of the ceremony.

'Her nerves have manifested in an interesting way,' claims a royal source. 'A recurring dream she hadn't had for years has raised its head again.

'She finds herself in front of the congregation and then becomes suddenly aware she is completely naked.'

The anxiety dream mirrors a similar one Kate, 29, is said to have had in 2006, just before she started her new job as an accessory buyer at Jigsaw.

And in the embarrassing nightmare, Kate desperately tries to protect her modesty.

'There is a deathly silence - and everyone from the Queen to Prince Philip is staring at her,' the source tells The Sun.

'Kate has joked the worst bit is she can't work out which parts to cover.'�

Kate Hudson has confirmed she is to marry Muse frontman Matt Bellamy.

'This is new!' Kate giggled as she showed off her ring to Today show host Matt Lauer. 'I'm engaged!

'It just happened a week ago.

'I haven't really announced it - I kind of feel like the announcing thing is so silly.'

Kate and Matt, both 32, are expecting their first child together this summer and, despite their betrothal, are in no hurry to get married.�

'He's a beautiful man and I'm very excited, but I think we're going to sit in to the baby thing for a little bit,' she said.

'[The proposal was] very sweet and very romantic.'

Chris Hemsworth Talks ?Thor? With ?Interview? [PHOTOS]

Thor stud Chris Hemsworth is featured in the latest issue of Interview magazine.

On The Film?s Surprising Cast: I am incredibly lucky to work with those involved! I think the attraction for Natalie [Portman] to a film like this was Kenneth Branagh?s involvement. At that time in my life, I wasn?t in a position to pick and choose who I wanted to work with. I just needed to pay the rent, and I was excited to be involved with something on this scale. I was signed up either way! This is by far the biggest thing I have ever been involved in and there is more anticipation than anything else.

PHOTOS: Chris Hemsworth, You Make Us Swoon

On Using An English Accent: For whatever reason, we relate to anything godlike with an English accent. The English are very proud of that. And with anything Roman or gladiators, they have an English accent. For an audience, it is an easy trick to hook people in.

More from Chris?

On Thor?s ?Hammer?: It is a pretty impressive piece of equipment. It was quite heavy, so that helped with the stunts. If it was too light, you would swing it around like a toothpick and it wouldn?t look impressive. When there is some weight to it and you have to physically use your shoulder and back, it gives you a sense of power. I got very comfortable holding it. When I did the earthbound scenes without it, I felt naked.

On his childhood love of action films: ?I loved the stuff. As a kid, I loved any fantasy. I grew up in a household with two brothers and we lived in the bush. We were constantly building weapons and forts and things. But I didn?t set out to be an action hero.?
