John Lydon has hit back over claims he was involved in a racial attack on Kele Okereke.
Bloc Party frontman Kele alleged the Sex Pistols star and three of his entourage had verbally abused him, before he was punched in the face and head. The ‘Like Eating Glass’ singer also claimed John’s entourage made racial slurs, with one uttering “your problem is your black attitude”.
However, John - better known as Johnny Rotten - has put the incident down to jealousy on Kele’s part.
Speaking about the alleged assault, which took place at Spain’s Summercase Festival on Saturday, a statement released on behalf of the 52-year-old said:
“I feel very sorry for a man who needs to lie about what was a perfect evening. After the show John Rotten and management remained behind to sign autographs, which we did for four solid hours without incident and had a great time talking to other Spanish bands. This seems to have sparked jealousy in certain bands. The trouble was brought to us, resulting in those causing the trouble being physically removed by festival security. We are in the middle of a wonderful tour, after 30 years we are achieving a true unity in our audience. They are multi-varied, all ages, all races, creeds and colours. When you are at a festival with bands who are jealous fools, lies and confusion usually follow. If they need publicity so badly this is the allegation universe they run into.”
The statement ended with John addressing Kele directly, telling him to “grow up and learn to be a true man”.
John added: “When you have achieved as much as I have, come back and talk to me. It’s a shame that the wonderful world of the media is riddled with nonsense like this.”
Britney Spears’ ex-husband Kevin Federline has retained ’sole legal and physical custody’ of the couple’s two sons.
The troubled 26-year-old singer – who currently has monitored visitation sessions with Sean Preston, two, and 21-month-old Jayden James, two days a week and one overnight stay – has signed off on a settlement agreeing the custody arrangement.
Kevin’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said Thursday night: “At about 8pm, a final settlement in the Kevin Federline-Britney Spears custody case was signed. All parties have agreed to the following: Kevin will retain sole legal and physical custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James. Britney will continue to have visitation rights which may increase over time. The agreement will be presented to the court in the morning for approval by the commissioner. Kevin is ecstatic and the boys are thriving.”
Britney first lost custody of the children in October. In January, all rights to see them were withdrawn following her alleged mental breakdown.
Subsequent court appearances have seen her visitation time slowly increased. She is now currently under the legal conservator ship of her father Jamie, who has control over her entire estate and financial accounts.
It’s never too late to get help so no one should lose hope – unless the one you’re concerned for is Amy Winehouse. Anyway, Rolling Stones guitar man Ronnie Wood has reportedly entered rehab for a drinking problem. His publicist said “Following Ronnie’s continued battle with alcohol he has entered a period of rehab. His close family and friends say he is seeking help and look forward to his recovery.” The rocker has had a history of substance abuse and was even persuaded by his wife and Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger to enter rehab before the band’s 2002 tour. This most recent trip may be due to British media reports saying that Wood’s marriage is on the rocks because he’s run off with an 18-year old Russian waitress.
An All-Star whore is more like it. If this picture was taken from the side, you’d be able to see some side boob. It’s like a sheet that she just tied around her. And what the heck is with that thing on her head? Aubrey O’Day of Danity Kane attended Vitaminwater’s MLB All-Star week celebration at Hudson Terrace on Monday in New York City. I wonder why we don’t see much of her group mates. Oh wait, she generates enough attention that the rest of them can just relax at home. How do people find her attractive? No wait, they don’t. They just find her easy.
Sad news, but singer Natalie Cole has been diagnosed with Hepatitis-C. Hep-C is a liver disease that is spread through contact with infected blood. Guesses are she contracted it through past drug use.
Natalie has been on meds and releases this statement, “I am committed to my belief in myself and in my abiding faith to meet this challenge with a heartfelt optimism and determination. This is how I intend to deal with this current challenge in my life.”
VH1’s favorite tranny, Brooke Hogan, hosted a party at Miami Beach club Mansion this past weekend. Unfortunately for her, no one really cared enough to actually spell her name right. If you ask me, she’s lucky to even still have a TV show. I’m actually really surprised that someone still got duped into booking her. What does she do exactly? I think she’s a sex tape away from becoming the next Paris Hilton. Scratch that, even Paris has a career and profession even though it’s arguable as to what it really is. What does Brooke have? A screwed up family is not a valid answer.
New controversial photos of Miley Cyrus have made it onto the web. They’re supposedly from someone who hacked into one of her email accounts. One photo shows a then 14-year old Miley dressed in a wet shirt in what looks like a public shower stall. Another photo shows her taking a picture of herself blowing a kiss into the camera with her shirt rolled up showing her stomach. The last photo shows the Disney star wearing a ‘Nick J’ necklace. I guess that should be proof enough that she did date Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. And she wonders why people think badly of her.
It’s just another crazy night in the mad world of Amy Winehouse. The troubled singer turned DJ in Camden on Thursday and the evening had all the hallmarks of a wild Amy bender.
It started off with booze and what seemed to be drugs. It then disintegrated into violence, a heartfelt confession about husband Blake and ended with, er, a lampshade.
Amy appeared to snort something behind the DJ booth at the launch of her club night Snakehips At The Monarch.
Amy played her favorite Motown tunes alongside DJ Bioux, but at one point she gave him a clip round the ear and called him a “f****** p****” for his troubles.
She then took a break from entertaining and told the crowd she will be reunited with Blake after he leaves prison. They’ll have a lot to talk about, she’s been unfaithful while he has been inside and he has been writing filthy letters to another woman.
Mark Wahlberg, you should hang your non-helmeted head in shame. Riding on a motorbike without a top or head protection may capture the attention of sexy female pedestrians but, more notably, it also guarantees some serious injuries in the event of a crash.
Even the bottom half of the Boogie Nights star’s body was at risk as he motored through the streets of LA in a pair of skin-exposing shorts.
Mark, there’s a reason why most bikers opt to cover their bodies in thick leather. I suggest you learn what that reason is and spend a tiny bit of your multi-million dollar income on some more suitable riding attire.
Bad news gentleman. Rihanna has ruled out the idea of ever posing naked for Playboy because she fears her mum would kill her.
Although she is not shy about stripping off for work, the 20-year-old sexpot says she would never want to do a photo shoot in the buff.
She said: “I am only 20 so my mother would kill me if I posed nude! When I did that metallic body paint stuff for my video, I didn’t do it to show my body. I didn’t do it for people to like me. I did it because it was a cool visual, unexpected, and it looked hot.”
She added: “I have done a lot of photo shoots for magazines but it’s always great to be shot for a cover because you know that you are looked at as a fashion icon.”
I’ve heard the rumors recently that Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee were trying to get back together. Tommy has been reported to have said that Pam and their kids have moved back in with him. He was quoted as saying, “We’ve only given it a try 800 times - 801, here we go.”
Hmm, seems Tommy was nowhere in sight when Pam celebrated at LAX Nightclub in Vegas. She turned 41 and at her side was none other than Criss Angel. Seems there have been stories about the two in the past, and it was shown to be somewhat true this weekend.
Sources say that Pam made out with Criss all night long and was happy to pose for pictures. Umm, all I can say is gross, gross, gross.
Poor Alex Rodriguez…the media is all over his relationship with wife Cynthia these days. Last week, he fended off rumors that he was having an affair with Madonna. Her rep says that’s just not true.
Now, it’s Cynthia who is having the affair…with Lenny Kravitz? Supposedly she ran off to Paris to be with him. But Lenny says, “There is absolutely no affair between Cynthia Rodriguez and myself. This is unequivocally 100 percent not true.”
So, why is she in Europe while he is on tour? Lenny goes on to say, “Cynthia is a friend and is here with the godfather of her baby, who is also Alex’s trainer, his wife, and their baby girl. She came here to escape everything happening in New York City. I opened my home to her as a friend and I find it extremely hurtful that I am now being referred to as an adulterer.”
Sources say that the couple’s marriage is over, though, despite the birth of second daughter Ella, who was just born in April. Cynthia’s mom added fuel to the rumors by commenting, “No comment.” Hmm…
On the finale of her show A Shot at Love 2, Tila Tequila got to choose her new love…remember she’s selecting from a guy and a girl. She picked the girl, Kristy. AFter she picked Kristy, Kristy said, “Nope, no thanks…I’m uh…confused.”
Now Tila is striking back…via her MySpace page. She says, “Why, what am I doing wrong?” I think there are a million of us who would like to answer that for you, Tila.
Tila has said on her page “Kristy is fake! Used me to get on TV!” She also added a lovely poem.
The world loves a good celebrity feud – especially when it is between two catty American girls. And - after a quiet period since Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan made up – Pamela Anderson and Jessica Simpson have stepped up to the plate.
Jessica upset Pammi and all her vegetarian chums by wearing a T-shirt proclaiming: “Real girls eat meat.”
But now the former Baywatch babe has hit back with a spectacular insult. Speaking on radio in Australia – where she’s waiting to go into the Big Brother house – the star slammed her rival buxom blonde.
Pammi blasted: “I think she is a bitch and whore. Actually, I don’t know if she was talking about food or men.”
She added that she is proud of not eating meat, saying: “I think it’s healthy, good for your body and good for the environment.”
And I don’t mean on the movie. That’s not speaking…just a series of moaning and groaning.
She was his girlfriend Ranae Shrider. Seems she finally gave an interview in regards to the stolen sex tape. What does she say in it? Mostly that she’s a nice girl….oh, and she does charity work. Yeah, that makes us all feel better.
Does she really think that her charity work is going to make us forget that she has a sex tape with a midget?
Another chapter has been added to the Lohan family saga — and this time, it may be another Lohan.
Michael Lohan, father of actress Lindsay, spoke Friday night with reporters gathered outside Hollywood’s Ritual Supper Club for a press conference concerning a woman’s recent claim that she had a daughter by him 13 years ago. Lohan was joined by his girlfriend Erin Muller at the event, which also served as a launch party for the online comedy series Wannabeme.tv, which co-stars Michael Lohan.
“If I wasn’t Lindsay’s dad or Michael Lohan, this wouldn’t be getting any attention,” he said.
Lohan said he once had a relationship with a woman named Kristi Horn and that he hadn’t seen her in 12 years. He said the two were seeing each other while he was separated from Dina Lohan, and the woman was going through a divorce. Lohan said he learned of the claim after receiving letters from the woman and photos of the girl purported to be his daughter when he was incarcerated.
“While I was prison, I got a letter, and she said that she had a paternity test with her ex-husband,” said Lohan, who has hired lawyers to look into the claim. “The results were negative with him, and she felt that I was the father. I said, ‘Well, why did you wait so long to tell me?’ She said there were a lot of things going on in her life.”
Lohan said he hasn’t spoken with Lindsay or any of his other three children about the incident. He said there was a resemblance in the photos of the girl to his daughters.
Aubrey O’Day is looking to bring her skank all the way to Broadway. The whore of will be joining the cast of ‘Hairspray’s as the little queen bitch, Amber Von Tussle, starting on July 18th. She’s not the only has been on the roster though. O-Town’s Ashley Parker Angels is already part of the cast. I won’t be surprised if it comes out that Aubrey and Ashley have begun a love affair while on the show. You can watch Aubrey on the Great White Way all the way to the end of August. But really, why would you want to?
The divorce talk just won’t die down but perhaps there’s good reason why. The British media is on Madonna’s case again saying that she and Guy Ritchie are working out divorce terms. A close friend of the couple says “They’re obviously sad but they’re dealing with it like grown-ups. Things have just run their natural course.” Another source says “They live like brother and sister rather than husband and wife and thought it best to call it a day. They have just grown apart. They’ve decided they’re better off as friends. It’s sad but they’re determined to keep it amicable.” Madonna and Guy will reportedly announce the split once Madonna’s world tour comes to an end on November 2009.
Umm, unfortunate thing is, he gets handy with his daughter. Pics are circulating that show Hulk Hogan slathering his adult daughter with suntan lotion. Not to mention that he is rubbing it on her behind….who tans there?!?!
Daughter Brooke says, “I know I’m a grown woman, but it’s like he’s touching an old car. He used to change my diaper!”
Yeah, so don’t you know there are plenty of perverted fathers out there? Just ask Billy Ray.
Tommy Lee turned vegetarian to win back his ex-wife Pamela Anderson.
Tommy, 45, and Pammie, 40, recently rekindled their romance, and the Motley Crue rocker is convinced turning his back on meat was the deciding factor for the animal rights campaigner to take him back.
Tommy said: “I recently went vegetarian and this is week four. At this point I was down to trying anything I hadn’t done yet.”
The couple have always remained close for the sake of their two sons - Brandon, 12, and Dylan, 10 - but Pammie was impressed with the seriousness of her ex-husband’s gesture and rekindled their romance.
She has been married twice, to Kid Rock and Rick Salomon, in the decade since divorcing Tommy - but both marriages lasted only a couple of months.
You know you’re not much of a star when you have to beg for someone to book you for any type of work. Brooke Hogan falls into the desperate category as the reality TV star and failed singer is fishing for any and all types of work on her official blog. She says “Brooke is now accepting offers for Live Tour Dates, Live Performances, and Appearances. Call now to book a date. Brooke’s schedule fills up quickly and she doesn’t wanna let anyone down!” If her schedule fills up quickly, then why would she need to beg? Her schedule fills up alright. It fills up with cobwebs.
It looks like the last 48 hours have taken their toll on Britney Spears. The singer arrived back at LAX airport this weekend and looked visibly upset as she made her way to her car accompanied by dad Jamie.
Britney and the rest of her family had been in Louisiana to support her younger sister Jamie Lynn, who gave birth to a baby girl last week. She made the dash back to her hometown to see her lilttle sis give birth, before jetting back home with her dad.
But, on arrival at the Los Angeles airport they were confronted by a scrum of photographers. The situation soon turned ugly as a fight almost broke out after the singer’s bodyguard allegedly pushed a camera into one of the snappers’ faces.
Britney appeared to burst into tears, but things soon calmed down and, accompanied by her entourage, she eventually left the airport safely.
Wow, all I can say is hot, hot, hot. Guys, get ready.
Unfortunately for all you horny boys, they aren’t lesbians or even bisexual. They aren’t REALLY making out. Although it’s a pretty sexy pic.
The pic actually comes from their current film Vicky Cristina Barcelona. They play two sexy women caught up in a scandelous love affair. But you’ll have to wait until mid-August to see it.
If you paid any attention, you know Amy Winehouse was taken to the hospital and observed because she fainted in her London home.
Seems that fainting spell was due to an irregular heartbeat. And irregular heartbeats can be caused by crack addictions. Remember when Amy was hospitalized last year for a crack overdose? At the time a doctor said, “Crack narrows blood vessels and raises pressure. It is toxic to the heart muscle, causing an irregular beat. A heart attack is one of the most common ways for the drug to kill.”
Well, the day is here. Gay couples can now obtain marriage licenses in California. The first to do so in West Hollywood? Star Wars star George Takei and partner of 21 years Brad Altman.
Takei told media, “We are first and foremost beyond delighted! It’s a landmark day.”
The wedding is planned for September 14 at the Japanese American National Museum in L.A.
After years of waiting to see whether he will be sent to jail, a jury has found R Kelly not guilty. The R&B singer was acquitted of all fourteen counts of child pornography. Kelly was first charged six years ago after a kinky sex tape surfaced allegedly featuring him having sex with a girl who was said to be 13 years old at the time. Kelly had long denied being on the video tape and despite experts saying it was him and several others confirming it was him, he still didn’t get charged. I thought that after all the positive IDs on him, he’d be heading to jail. What the heck happened?
Ok, so who does she really think she is? Apparently she thinks she single handedly is turning around the gay movement. Instead, Tila Tequila is just a non-celeb whose stupidity unfortunately keeps us watching.
When talking about same-sex marriage, Tila told US Magazine, “It is because of me. I definitely think my show has helped the movement. Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about same sex relationships. Then they realized, ‘Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.’ The next thing you know, gay marriage is legal.”
Umm, yeah, and it had nothing to do with the millions of people picketing and fighting for years. It was all you, Tila.
Miley Cyrus’ family still continues to throw Annie Leibovitz under the bus for the controversial snaps she took of the teen star for Vanity Fair. Billy Ray spoke to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM show that he considers Leibovitz – perhaps the most famed portraitist in the world – to be just another money-hungry paparazzi. Billy Ray said “I was catching these crawdads and all the sudden this paprazzi lady jumps out … and starts snapping away.” Uhm, don’t people sign release forms when they shoot pictures for magazines? And wasn’t the rest of the family on set during the whole shoot? They could have done something if they really wanted to.
Justin Timberlake battled ‘wedgies’ while wearing skimpy swimwear for his new movie. The musician-and-actor, who stars alongside Mike Myers in ‘The Love Guru’, felt confident in the tight trunks but found it tough when they became wedged between his buttocks.
He said: “This may be TMI (too much information) but I was constantly digging out those wedgies. I work out pretty diligently. At the time I was on tour, I worked on this film for 10 days. I was on tour so I was in shape.”
Meanwhile, Mike - who also co-wrote the film - insists Justin didn’t need much persuading to strip off and bare his body. He said: “He’s not an uncomfortable person. The trunks are getting some very good reactions from people. Some people are very happy about them!”
Yeah, so Heather Locklear obviously doesn’t realize she’s getting old.
Recently, while leaving Coco De Ville, she threw up a few drunken gang signs. Yeah, drunken…meaning, she was wasted enough to think she was cool when she was doing it.
Granny, put up ya guns and go on to sleep with your afghan.
