Victoria’s spokeswoman has issued a statement dismissing the reports of a “terrifying car crash” that the couple were supposedly involved in last Friday night in France. I didn’t believe it anyways because David was at the closing ceremonies of the Olympics in Beijing Sunday night.
“There was no car crash,” Cheryl Maisel said in a statement to the New York Daily News. “David and Victoria Beckham were driving a car that had been scratched the day before when it had been left parked at the airport - they were not involved in any accident at all. There was no police, no crash, no paparazzi chase, etc. - just very incorrect reports via Internet gossip sites,” she said.
Victoria is expected to leave France for New York to attend Fashion Week which starts on September 5th.
Angelina has lent her voice to a public service announcement for World Refugee Days. It is an emotional appeal.
She’s been a very high profile Goodwill Ambassador to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, for the past several years. As well as the video, she is writing an article for a “major” US paper, also due out Friday.
Tommy told Rolling Stone, “Pamela and the kids have moved in with me. It’s awesome, man. It’s definitely working. You can tell on the kids’ faces — they’re happy when we’re together.”
Motley Crue have been busy in their studio rehearsing for the CrueFest Tour this summer. Wonder if the happy family will be going on the road with the band?
This is a classic example of ‘recycling Hollywood style’ ! For some reason, I’m happy for them and their two boys.
“My new addiction is a BlackBerry… I’m constantly on the ‘CrackBerry’. I didn’t want to try the (nicotine) patch because I thought, ‘Chemicals got me into this… I just want to stop, cold turkey on my own willpower. I’ve had maybe four or five cigarettes in the last eight months, so, as far as I’m concerned, that’s quitting… I think I’m done with it.” - Wentworth Miller
It is a hard habit to crack, and I feel for anyone who has to. Although I can’t even imagine why anyone would start in the first place! I am glad to see that he has found another addiction to occupy his fingers! Last night the season premier of Prison Break aired and apparently it had 30% less views than it had in the past. I actually thought it was quite good, I was like I can’t believe he is in jail again but they really made it work!
An observation on Linday Lohan by rocker bad boy Dave Navarro
“When I was 20 years old, the shit you would have on me would have been mind-blowing. I just see girls growing up in Hollywood-and I don’t mean to diminish it-but the reality is that billions of kids go through the same stuff all over the country. But just because she happened to have a big movie or two, we’re blowing it up as this big shocker-but it’s not. It’s adolescence! She’s a kid growing up. We should get out of her business.”
“Eddie Murphy always has and will continue to honor his responsibilities as a father. Mr. Murphy and Ms. Brown dated very briefly and never made any plans of ANY sort. He acknowledges paternity of the child Angel, and has paid child support to Ms. Brown as well as covering the expenses of her pregnancy. Mr. Murphy views this as a private matter and as such, will not be making any further comments about it.”
This is the press release about the paternity of Scary Spice’s child Angel!
I am pretty sure he hasn’t paid child support yet, but is planning on it since all this negative publicity we have been seeing lately. Especially when both of his ex’s met up with their kiddies at The Ivy earlier this week!
“She keeps apologizing to me. I told her ‘You’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing to your father at this age. There’s just so much information out there right now — MySpace, cell phones, the Internet. If we had had all that when The Commodores were around, God only knows what my mother and father would have seen.”
I can’t believe that he is condoning her behavior just because there is a lot of information out there! He should be saying she is going through a rough time or something along those lines!
o my dear media, friends, and fans,You may have heard some news that two guys who wrote for some band from the 1970s I have never in my life heard of called the “Rubinoos” are trying to sue me. They have a song called “I Want To Be Your Boyfriend” that has no musical similarities to the song “Girlfriend” that Luke Gottwald and I wrote together. They claim that a small part of the lyrics are the same and are saying that I took these from them. I had never heard this song in my life and their claim is based on 5 words! All songs share similar lyrics and emotions. As humans we speak one language.
Off the top of my head, two other songs that I can immediately think of with this type of lyric are “Hey, hey, you, you get off of my cloud” by the Rolling Stones and “Hey little girl I want to be your boyfriend” by the Ramones. Simply put, I have been falsely accused of ripping their song off. Luke and I have done nothing wrong and there is no merit to their claim.
And slap in the face #2
I was going to be the bigger person and not reply when I read Chantal Kreviazuk’s article in Performing Songwriter magazine. Now that all the media have caught on to her little interview, I need to speak. Chantal’s comments are damaging to my reputation and a clear defamation of my character and I am considering taking legal action. Chantal has accused me of taking a song idea from her because I happen to have a song on my new record with the same title.
For the record, I wrote a song with Evan Taubenfeld which coincidentally has the same title as a song Chantal had sent me a few years ago. Our songs have no similarities and opposite meanings, i.e. different lyrics, different melody, different genres. In Chantal’s own words “the only similarity is in the title.” I originally wrote this with Evan for his record and I ended up with it. Funny enough when I decided to put “Contagious” on my album we had to change the words from “she” to “he” in order for it to work on my record. There are hundreds of songs out there with the title “Contagious,” 75+ on iTunes alone.
Chantal has also made false accusations about my writing skills. I am so over this topic. This letter is not about this. I am not going to sit here and defend my writing skills. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. I know who I am and what I have done and accomplished and no one can take that away from me.
My decision to discontinue working with Chantal after co-writing together on my second record was simply based on the fact that we had no hits together. That is why her name is not on this record, despite her numerous attempts to be included, which were always denied. From my perspective this is a clear case of bitterness. Chantal is upset that she didn’t get to be a part of my record. She did email me after the article came out apologizing and I forgive her but I have to put the truth out there so my fans are not confused by these false accusations.
Let it be crystal clear that I have not ripped anyone off or done anything wrong. I have never had to deal with anything publicly like this and surely never wanted to. I do not deserve this negative press and attention. I take pride in the songs that I write and appreciate the opportunities to work with some great writers and musicians.
My fans have been so dedicated to my music and it is because of them that I have this amazing career. Thank you again to my fans for continuing to be so supportive. This is a very positive time for me in my life. I have a very successful career and I feel very lucky to have accomplished all that I have. I am so thankful every day.
I would like to say more but my lawyers have advised me not to. Why is it when you get to a certain level people want to attack you?…. and now I have said my piece.
