Something There
Geri Halliwell has angered some of her neighbors by erecting a 12-foot wall around her London home. One neighbor said the imposing brick wall makes the $8 million mansion occupied by Ginger and Bluebell look like 'a prison'. "When Geri moved in we assumed she would want privacy, but none of us expected her to build such a big ugly wall," the neighbor was quoted as saying. Geri was the victim of a burglary six years ago and has been back in the public eye for the Spice reunion tour. Behind the wall, her house has a state-of-the-art security system.
Mark Burnett will bring Donald Trump's "The Apprentice" back from the brink of cancellation for at least one more season, according to Reuters. The series steadily declined in the ratings in recent years, losing nearly two-thirds of its original audience by the time it wrapped up its sixth installment. If the current option on a renewal for a seventh season were to expire without a deal, producers would be free to shop the series to another network, and Trump has said "numerous networks" have expressed an interest in picking up the show. A better candidate screening process is needed.

Tom Meighan has called an end to his feud with rival band Keane. The singer recently mocked Tom Chaplin for "living on a diet of pies and Quavers" - and called him a "posh boy". However, being asked to perform at Live Earth made him reconsider his behaviour. "I'm over arguing about Keane," Meighan explained. "I'm trying to grow up in this world, man and that's like the green message."
Keane will "go exclusively green" on their next album. The rockers, who performed at Live Earth concert in London, want to record their next LP in an eco-friendly studio and produce the discs from a biodegradable material. Frontman Tom admits meeting Al Gore influenced them to make the eco-friendly changes. He says, "We're incredibly excited to be taking part in today's concert. We can all put pressure on our governments and businesses. We hope that as many people as possible will be listening today."

Simon Cowell is obsessed with keeping in shape, according to his girlfriend Teri Seymour. The X Factor judge sets time aside for 300 press-ups each day, no matter how busy he is with his various music and TV projects. "Nothing will stop him doing his 300 press-ups," Seymour told Wenn. "Even if he is flying he will do them on the plane. He just can't not do them." Vainpot.

South African beauty Lindi Hingston has been officially named as the model who broke up grunge couple Pete and Kate Moss. The pair has reportedly been engaged for most of 2007 and Kate has fled England immediately when she found out about Pete's affair. Lindi and Pete allegedly met at Crystal nightclub in London before going back to his East London home. Lindi may be another pretty face who has been sucked in by Pete's tortured artist persona. Her friend said, "She's got a soft spot for these scruffy men who are very bright. She likes intellectual ruffians. But he's an idiot and she is stupid to fool around with him." That boy is sure quick in finding a replacement.
Megan Fox tried "several" drugs before choosing her favorite. The actress experimented with a host of illegal substances before deciding marijuana was the only one she "enjoyed." Megan told Maxim: "I've done drugs, and that's how I know I don't like them. I tried several things but I didn't enjoy anything other than marijuana." She is a strong supporter of the campaign to legalize marijuana and claims the majority of Hollywood stars are regular users. Megan revealed: "Celebrities aren't trying to hide it. I know about five people who aren't on drugs today, and I'm one of them." So does that make her a good or bad role model?
