Hometown Blues

Westlife were recently mistaken for a gang of hoodlums by the terrified owner of a fish and chip restaurant in Birmingham, England. Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan had walked into eatery George And Helen's with a bouncer - and because they wrapped scarves around their faces to avoid being recognised shop owner Kostas Georgiou thought the worst. He says: "They looked really intimidating and we were worried." Dangerous boys aren't they? Wonder if that shop owner wanted compensation for his temporary scare. An impromptu 'Uptown Girls' performance should be enough.

Someone who thought his original song was infringed by Fiddy has lost the case. A judge has dismissed a copyright infringement lawsuit accusing 50 Cent of stealing the opening line for his 2003 hit In Da Club from a song by former 2 Live Crew frontman Luther Campbell. US District Judge Paul Huck found that the disputed phrase was a "common, unoriginal, and noncopyrightable element of the song" and was not entitled to copyright protection. Who the hell is this 'Lex' Luther guy? Must be some lame artiste from the 90s.











Evangeline Lily recent interview with Self Magazine [Evangie-Self]


Nicole Kidman threatened to leave her new husband Keith Urban unless he sought help for his addictions. The drink and drug addict Urban admitted himself into a rehabilitation facility after falling off the wagon. A friend of the couple's told Life & Style magazine: "She gave him a choice. He could enter a programme or she'd leave him.. He chose the former. Keith can't stand the thought of life without Nicole." Is it a common trend for these guys to be sucked into this d & d stuff? At least Keith knows his priorities and is lucky to have a patient wife.

Ashlee Simpson is the new international face of footwear firm Skechers. Currently starring in Chicago on the London stage, Ashlee enjoys wearing the casual shoes when she finishes performing. She says: "My feet really take a pounding every time I perform in the show so it's a relief to get into my comfortable sneakers at the end of the night. I grew up wearing Skechers and hope to add a few more pairs to my wardrobe." The Skechers people are over the moon about having her.

Meanwhile, elder sis is so desperate to find a man that she has started looking for a suitable candidate online. According to More magazine, Jessy has created a new MySpace page under a false name in a bid to ensnare a man. A source said: "After she split up with John she set up a MySpace page to meet new people. She used a fake name and got really into it. She's totally addicted. Whenever she's at home, she's on her laptop and pretends to be this shy Texan girl." The lengths some people go to just to get laid...

1) All Saints - Rock Steady (live)
2) The Killers - Bones
3) Albert Hammond Jr - 101
4) The Good The Bad And The Queen - Herculean (live)

The more times 'Rock Steady' is played out, the higher the appreciation level grows. Brandon and gang have some skeletons they want to expose in their latest video. If you sing Hilary Duff's chorus 'Wake Up' along with Albert's guitar licks in 101, a funny/scary surprise awaits.. Damon Albarn latest project 't.g.t.b.a.t.q' brings back the dark 'Blur' tunes that some peeps once loved.

Congrats to Piper! Holly Marie Combs and her husband, David Donoho, welcomed their second child, Riley Edward Donoho, Thursday afternoon in L.A. "Everybody's great," Donoho said. "Holly is tired, but she's fine. Riley came right out and as soon as he heard Holly's voice, he smiled. He has hair like Elvis - a full head of black hair. The doctor said he came out looking like a 2-year-old." The couple met on the set of Charmed and they wed on Valentine's Day in 2004.

LOST Season 3 Ep 4 - "Every Man For Himself"
We're back to Otherville territory where the captured Losties learned more about Ben & his gang. Jack was 'entertained' with some old school cartoons in his cell when Juliet comes in to bring food and some queries about his health. Knowing that Ben has been watching him through the video cam, Jack asked some questions about Juliet taking orders from Ben and wanting to speak to him rather than her. Emergency! Colleen is back from 'the sub' transport and they have a situation. Ben urged Juliet to follow him. At the cages above, Sawyer & Kate were curious about people scurrying around and saw a seriously wounded Colleen on a stretcher. Sawyer became delighted, saying "Our team did it." *cue theme music* The flashbacks showed a prison scene whereby Sawyer learned about having a daughter called Clementine that he refused to believe, him reading a book 'Of Mice And Men' and helping out the officers find the location of 10 million dollars hidden by one of the inmates. By conning that particular inmate, Sawyer got the info and won himself an end to his prison term and some commission which he want anoynmously sent to Clementine. Wow. He finally acknowledged having a daughter. Back to present, Juliet pleaded with Jack to help her remove the gun-shot wound on Colleen which he agreed. He was sand-bagged on the head and brought to the medical room while bypassing Sawyer & Kate. They tried to scream for him but loud horns were being played around the area to nullify their voices. Upon reaching the room, Jack stumbled upon a spinal cord x-ray. As there wasn't an important item on the treatment table, Colleen was unable to be saved. Danny Pickett became angry that they have killed his wife. So he went out and beat the crap out of Sawyer but because of the pace-maker implanted onto him, Sawyer can't fight back. Earlier, Ben dragged Sawyer into a similar cell as Jack and warned him that if his heart rate reaches above 130, it will explode just like the experiment bunny with no. 8 painted on it. Kate answered Danny's call on whether she loves Sawyer which was a 'Yes'. Danny stopped the beating. Small scene at the Losties beach where Paolo didn't quite like Desmond during a conversation about him wanting to borrow a gold club from Paolo. Desmond earlier tried to help repair Claire's tent roof but was politely declined by her and an onrushing jealous Charlie. Why the need for the golf club? Later on, after Hurley was done making fruit salad, Desmond told him to wait a minute before he comes out of the shelter.. It suddenly began to rain! And the long stick with a golf club attached to it at the top got struck by lightning! Charlie, while attending to Claire and Aaron, looked at Desmond in disbelief. That guy can really predict the near future. How will it help them in their search for J,S,K? In the medical room, Jack was handcuffed beside Colleen. Juliet came in and got interrogated by Jack regarding the tumour he saw on the X-rays belonging to a 40-year-old man. "Who am I here to save?" that got Juliet staring back without an answer. Next morning, Ben woke Sawyer up before sunlight and brought him mountain climbing. Upon seeing his watch showing the heart rate of above 130, Sawyer was told that no pace maker was injected and it was all a con. Ben then showed him a breathing 8-bunny that went to 'sleep' during his earlier experiment in the cell. Both of them quoted some phrases from 'Of Mice And Men' to test their reading knowledge. The reason Sawyer came along was to show him that they are on a separate island overlooking the Losties beach and is twice the size of Alcatraz. "The best way to gain a con-man's respect is to con him." Ben claims Sawyer is pretty good but The Others are much better. With that, Sawyer realized the whole situation and slowly followed them back to his cage. So now James Ford had been conned and accepted the fact of him being stuck on this mystery place with no escape route.

The Trojan horses of Pop? G.A The Times Interview (20/10/06) - [G.A-Times]

Lindsay Lohan isn't worried about perfecting an English accent for her new film The Best Time of Our Lives but will still try hard because she doesn't want to "Van Dyke" it. She said recently: " If I hang out with a British person for an hour or so, I start talking just like them. I can pick up accents pretty well. But I don't want to be remembered like Van Dyke." V.D would probably say, "the feeling is mutual". Here is La Lohan leaving the Area nightclub. [Lohan-Club] After snacking on cupcakes at Magnolia on Friday (Oct 27), Lindsay headed to Agent Provocateur to pick out a costume. Scary look? Footage/pictures from X17. [Lohan-Pajama]

Are the current young frontmen weaklings? According to Liam G, Pete Doherty and Tom Chaplin are just 'posh lightweights.' He believes that both artists who have battled their drugs demons, aren't very rock n roll. Liam ranted: "None of us (Oasis) have been in the priory like all these little idiots today. They have one little line, they have one burn and they're all in rehab. That Pete Doherty is cabbaged already. And it's like: 'How old are you? Priory at 27 years of age?' You idiot. Those posh boys are lightweights." Time to clean up their act???
