Some time ago Eminem said that he is out of the music industry when it comes to him launching albums. As expected this did not last long and Marshall Mathers III is preparing for a new one as you read these lines. The interesting part comes up when we talk about inspiration. It looks like Em’s ideas came from the brief affair she had with Mariah Carey. As expected, the pop diva did not take this news lightly and she already started a campaign to stop the tracks from appearing. An anonymous source told OK! Magazine that:

“There is more than one track that goes into really specific, intimate detail about what went on between Em and Mariah. Mariah wishes she could sue Eminem for slander. But it’s his freedom of speech.”

I for one would love to hear all of the scathing details and want the album to come out. I think everyone is thinking like me. Em is funny and he has a gift of making stupid stuff come out good.

Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake recently split in January after a relationship they started in 2003. Now they were co-stars for “Shrek the Third” and they both walked the green carpet at the London premier of the animated movie. They embraced just before going in the spotlight in front of a large crowd at Leicester Square. Diaz, the voice of Princess Fiona, simply referred to this as:
“We’re friends. It’s good to see him.”
Timberlake did not say anything about this but instead talked about his record label thinking about signing his first artist, Esmee Denters:
“”It’s hard to get signed when you’re new. It’s hard to find a label that you feel is going to develop you as an artist. And that’s what I feel like I have to offer to these young people.”

Kanye West is now 30 years old and since this is an important number in the life of any individual he had to party with style. This is exactly what he did as he celebrated hard with a buhe show at the Louis Vuitton store in New York. The rapper had well known guests that performed with him including, P. Diddy, Rihanna, Fall Out Boy, Ashlee Simpson, Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, Travis Baker, Ashanti, Fabolous, John Legend, the Clipse, Pharell Williams and even Jermaine Dupri (which had an accident in the morning of the same day). The DJ on guard was Q-Tip and Kanye’s birthday cake bore his signature “College Dropout” bear. Everything finished at the Tenjune night club where other celebrities like Gabrielle Union and Usher joined in on the fun!

Actor Wesley Snipes is a victim of “unscrupulous tax advice” and is being selectively targeted for prosecution on federal tax evasion charges because he is black, his attorneys argue in a motion to dismiss the indictment.
That’s what Snipes has said all along about the charges.
In a June 4 motion to dismiss the indictment, Snipes’ attorneys argue that prosecutors filed additional tax evasion charges against him and not against two co-defendants because they are “Caucasian, while Mr. Snipes is African-American.”

A federal judge is still considering the motion.
The Oct. 17 indictment charges Snipes with fraudulently claiming refunds totaling nearly $12 million in 1996 and 1997 for income taxes already paid. The star of the “Blade” trilogy and other films also was charged with failure to file returns from 1999 through 2004.
The indictment said Snipes conspired with American Rights Litigators’ founder Eddie Ray Kahn and tax preparer Douglas P. Rosile Sr. to file false refund claims based on a bogus argument that only income from foreign sources was subject to taxation.
Snipes’ motion says he should be counted among 2,000 people who relied on Kahn and Rosile for tax advice, not as one of their co-defendants.
The indictment said Kahn and Rosile, through American Rights Litigators, collected fees of up to 20 percent of refunds from fraudulent tax returns.
Rosile’s attorney, David Wilson, said Sunday his client never gave Snipes any tax advice.
“Mr. Rosile never met Mr. Snipes”, Wilson said.
Kahn’s attorney did not immediately return phone and e-mail messages seeking comment.
There was no immediate response Sunday to calls seeking comment from Snipes’ manager or a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office.

It’s official, Paris Hilton is headed back to jail. But due to her supposed medical problems, the heiress will be spending the weekend in a medical ward at the jail facility where she surrendered Sunday night. She is reportedly having her lawyer file an appeal against her return to jail on Monday.

The massive uproar about her release and subsequent house arrest traversed everyone from people in the justice system, celebrities and the average Joe.

“This decision sends the message that no individual – no matter how wealthy or powerful – is above the law. Today, justice was served.”- Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo.

Hey. She said she wanted to serve her time and be treated equally. Have her make good on that.

Having kids is sometimes the best gift parents can give themselves, it’s a joy that only parents can understand and feel. Though it does bring in additional responsibilities but when you see your child grow from strength to strength one tends to forget all those difficult moments. Former Friends star Courteney Cox is planning to add another little one to her brood. The actress recently revealed that she is planning to have IVF treatment again so she can have another baby. Cox and her husband David Arquette conceived daughter Coco after IVF in 2004 and Courteney has already had more blood tests to begin the process all over. But the actress also clarified that she is not prepared for it immediately, as she is too busy with her new TV show Dirt. “I’m not really ready right this second, but I’ll probably do it one more time,” Contactmusic quoted her, as saying. “I used to want to have, like, eight kids. It was such a fantasy when I was younger because my mother, who was an only child, had four kids. Now, looking back, I don’t understand how she did it,” she added.

Paul McCartney says he’s “surprisingly OK” despite his difficult divorce from his second wife, Heather Mills.
“It’s very tough, you know, going through a separation,”, McCartney said in an interview that aired Thursday on ABC News’ “Good Morning America.” “But I’m just trying to keep my dignity, trying to just move forward and not talk about it in interviews, really.”
McCartney and Mills, a 39-year-old former model and activist who recently appeared as a contestant on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars”, are in divorce proceedings. They have a 3-year-old daughter, Beatrice.
When asked about the split, McCartney responded: “I’m OK, thank you. Surprisingly OK.”
McCartney and Mills married in June 2002, four years after his first wife, Linda McCartney, died of breast cancer. They separated last year.
The ex-Beatle released his 21st solo album, “Memory Almost Full” this week. It’s his first release for Hear Music, Starbuck Corp.’s new record label.
He wrote “Dance Tonight”, a track from the studio disc, while learning to play the mandolin over the Christmas holidays.
“It became sort of catchy and it was a foot-stomper in the kitchen”, he recalled. “A load of people came round and (Beatrice) particularly came running in and danced.”
McCartney, who will be 65 on June 18, said he now regrets writing the Beatles classic “When I’m 64.”
“It just draws great attention to that age and reaching it”, he said. “In actual fact, it’s actually not been bad, you know, really. People still feed me and one or two people still need me.”

After reports surfaced the Kate Hudson and rumored flame Owen Wilson have split up, she came out with a new man in her arms. Her lovely son Ryder.

Ryder doesn’t look all that happy and Kate seemingly tried to get him to smile but didn’t get anywhere. Perhaps it’s because of the trend that I’ve now seen.

To Kate Hudson and Celine Dion, I’m sure you have enough time to get your sons hair cuts. If you don’t, I’m sure you’ve got people to handle it for you. Androgyny isn’t that big when it comes to little kids. They get picked on you know.

Their kids are beautiful, I’ll give them that. But when they’re so beautiful with long flowing hair that it becomes tough to tell whether they’re male or female, that’s a whole other thing.

After always being accused in the past months, Pete Doherty might end up on the other side of the barrier. He is threatening to sue the organizers of a music festival in UK. They claim he did not show up last month at a planed gig. Doherty claims that he never said he will attend the Leeds event and nothing was booked. The official statement says:

“Pete’s supposed non-show was reported extensively in the media and, despite an admission from Gatecrasher that Pete was never confirmed to appear, they have so far refused to issue a public apology.”

There is no official confirmation that a legal action will be taken by the Babyshambles star but the possibility is very high.

Dwayne Johnson (better known as “The Rock”) just split with his wife. The professional wrestler (now turned action star) recently announced the separation from Dany Garcia Johnson in an official interview for People Magazine:

“We’ve been fortunate enough to spend the last 17 years together as a couple and look forward to spending the rest our lives together as best friends and business partners. We will continue to advance and manage our business interests, our philanthropic efforts and most importantly the raising of our child together.”

This is one of the few celebrity couples that have split nicely. No fuss, no big scene, no nothing! Nobody really knows the reason behind the separation and all that is known is that there is now one single “Rock”.

Paris has been in news now for quite some time and all these reports sum up around her impending jail imprisonment. In the latest news that has come as the effect of what a jail sentence may do to her standing in her community – even before she has put step into her sentence. The Hilton hotel heiress was supposed to feature in an upcoming photo book of the world’s most stunning heiresses. But due to her impending jail term, combined with the revelation that her half aunt Elizabeth Avanino, is a junkie jailbird, made the celeb photographer Roger Moenks, as well as the editors of Inheriting Beauty decide that Hilton was no longer right for the feature. Now its no good crying over spilt milk, what damage Paris has done to her image is now irrecoverable and she is in the news for all the wrong reasons. Paris was to feature along with Roberta Armani, Dylan Lauren, Allegra Hicks, Nadja Swarovski and Casey Johnson. Who’s the one left out of the rat race, for the time being it’s none other than Paris Hilton.

There’s some good news and there’s some bad news and then when the good and the bad news happen to occur at the same time, one doesn’t whether to be happy or sad. Victoria Beckham’s shooting schedule for her NBC reality has been thrown into disarray now that husband David has been recalled to play for the English national soccer team. Now surely she would be very happy at the news that hubby David has been recalled to the English national squad and the latest news in is that England have drawn their friendly with Brazil at the new Wembley Stadium. But since the couple are going stay in LA and she was reportedly gonna shoot for NBC reality show, those plans would have to wait a little longer now. David Beckham’s last game for the Real Madrid team will be on June 17, but preparations are already underway for him and his wife – along with sons Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 4, and Cruz, 2 – to move to Beverly Hills in mid July. It was announced in January that he had signed a five-year, multimillion deal with the Galaxy team in Los Angeles.

Or so it appears. On a trip to Marineland in Antibes, France, Maddox, Pax and Angelina were given the chance to feed the killer whales. However, Maddox stood behind a wall that is a distance behind little brother Pax and Angelina.

Pax didn’t seem to mind handling the fish and feeding it to the hungry whale as Angelina coaxes him on. Maddox looks like he’s hoping that his brother won’t get eaten. That or he’s wishing that hunky poppa Brad is around to hold his hand.

Aww. Don’t worry Maddox. Even if you appear like a scaredy cat, I think you’re still cute and loveable. Keep sticking you’re tongue out to the paps kid. No one will care about this after that.

NY Post’s cover story shows a pic of Yankees star Alex Rodriguez with a mystery blonde. What’s wrong with that? He’s got a wife and it ain’t that blonde girl. Although people are saying that this is nothing new since he was with the same girl in Vegas two weeks ago!

Sources in Vegas say that the slugger was at Tryst at the Wynn Hotel on May 13 with his blonde bombshell drinking vodka and living it up. A-Rod then left at around 2AM only to head over to the Mirage the next day where he and blondie participated in a private event at the pool.

People at the Wynn refused to comment on their clientele. Reps for A-Rod aren’t talking either.

He better start explaining.

Angelina Jolie, Honorary Board Chair of Global Action for Children (GAC), applauded President Bush’s increase for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) funding, but cautioned that there is more work to be done. The President called on Congress today to provide $30 billion in funding for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, including care for OVC, over a five year period after the President leaves office. This doubles the current funding of $15 billion over five years which expires in 2008. Between saving orphans, her UN work and her A-list film career Angelina also takes time to be with Brad Pitt at events like the Cannes Film Festival. We really appreciate her dedication to the various fields that she is involved in and is really good at all that she does. Surely in the next few years her work will bring her international acclaim and also possibly a few international awards recognizing her contribution to child welfare and AIDS awareness and helping the needy.
