According to CBB reader Autumn, White Stripes fans around the net are discussing this picture. Why? It's spurring rumors and much messageboard discussion that musician Meg White may be pregnant. Meg gives few interviews and little is known about her private life, so it's possible that if she is pregnant, she may not announce the pregnancy or even the birth of her child. Her bandmate Jack White became a first-time daddy with his current wife, model Karen Elson, in May when Scarlett Teresa, was born. He is currently touring with his band The Raconteurs, so the hiatus of the White Stripes may be a perfect time for Meg to become a mom. Awwww... if this is indeed true, I wish Meg-gy the best of health in this new journey.

Kym Marsh went "back in time" in therapy. She agreed to some unusual therapy sessions in a bid to cure her panic attacks. The singer claims that she went back in time and spoke to her dead grandfather after sitting in the car from the film 'Back to the Future'. Marsh is said to have suffered from "regular breakdowns" following childhood bullying, a car crash and her grandfather dying. In one therapy session, she was squirted with paint, which symbolised washing away her past troubles when it was rinsed off. She told a friend, "I cannot believe it. I never thought I would shake off the condition. Some of the stuff was weird. I thought, 'how's that going to work?' It was great to sit in the DeLorean, to go back in time and speak to my late grandfather. I was able to tell him how much I loved him. I was crying tears of joy when I got out." The sessions were filmed for new TV show A Life Coach Less Ordinary, which will air on UKTV Style in Sept. Therapist Nik Speakman said, "Kym was fantastic. She was a lovely person to work with." Hope things get better for her. Didn't know she had this horrible condition.

There is something I would like to shout out.... (holds breath).........

ITALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FORZA ITALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



After Malouda dived to earn the french a penalty which Zidane converted, the score became 1-1 when Materazzi powered in a header from a Pirlo corner. It ended that way at FT. The next 20 mins of ET was an even affair until...







Where in the world did that come from??? You simply cannot do that, Mr Zidane. It only ruins your nation's chance of a WC final success. There are two reasons I could think of...












The soul of a Bushwacker has possessed him.. or..











he was inspired by Spanish bullfights?


Maybe we'll never know.

I've waited since 1994 for the Azzurri to taste success in this tournament. The heartache caused by Roberto Baggio's penalty miss, France penalty win in the Q-Final of 98, Trezisgay's golden goal in Euro 2000 AND Ecuardo ref Byron Moreno's (that f&^@#*(^@#$^)#$&^@^#!^@#&@#(*%*(*$*^&?%$) blatant mishandling in the 2nd round of WC '02 against S.Kooreans has been accumulated and at last those ghosts of the past have been exorcised! Gonna taunt those once-in-four-years-football-fans peeps who support France.. very soon.

On National Days, we experience the 21 gun salute. So in honour of Zizou, I have dedicated 21 songs just for him:

The Kooks - Crazy
Cypress Hill - Insane In The Brain
Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy
N Sync - I Drive Myself Crazy
Elton John - Rocket Man
Missy Elliot - Get Ya Freak On
The Strokes - Trying Your Luck
Fatboy Slim - The Joker
Paul Van Dyk - Nothing But You
Carly Simon - Nobody Does It Better
Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head
Travis - Hit Me Baby One More Time
Culture Club - Do You Really Want to Hurt Me
Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam - Lost In Emotion
Cathy Dennis - This Is Your Night
Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Soul Asylum - Misery
The Bravery - Honest Mistake
Blue - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
Bosson - You're One ln A Million
Skid Row - I Remember You

And she appeared on OK Mag:



Ashley Cole spoke about his love for Cheryl Tweedy while enjoying his stag celebrations. Ashley is currently on holiday in Marbella, where he bought a glass of champagne for everybody at the Sinatra's bar to toast Tweedy with. A source told the Daily Star, "Ashley was on fine form and there was champagne for everyone. A couple recognised him and offered their congratulations. Ashley then toasted Cheryl saying she was 'his world'. It was a heart-warming moment and very sincere. They are obviously head over heels in love." The source added, "Ashley has been making the most of his stag do but it's been quite tame. The most rounds he's been having have been on the golf course!" Cole and Tweedy are due to get married next weekend. What a lucky b****rd. But the big question is, where will he be playing footie next season? On Spanish soil? Or 'Russian' soil?

For the rest of 2006, these awesome foursome will rule the pop world! I wanna get these two CDs! Both released next Monday!!!
