bestrumor — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:58:25 GMT

Ronnie Wood is in love with both his wife and his girlfriend. The 61-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist – who has been having an affair with 20-year-old Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova – reportedly confessed his feelings for wife Jo, 52, and his young mistress to fellow patients at a rehab facility. He said: “I love my wife – but I have a girlfriend and I love her too.” The ageing rocker is being treated at a countryside retreat for alcohol, drug and sex addiction. A source said: “He is being treated for everything. He isn’t allowed a phone or any contact with the outside world for now. He is having open therapy sessions and explained he has a wife and a girlfriend and that he loves them both. It’s very strange but it’s just how he sees it. He’s looking a lot better and is very upbeat.” Staff told Ronnie he must complete a six-week treatment programme after hearing of his vodka binges, his 20-year-old lover and previous drug problems. The source added: “He thinks the whole affair scenario has been blown out of proportion – but that’s part of his problem.”

Britney Spears mum killed 12-year-old boy

bestrumor — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 00:00:01 GMT

Britney Spears’ mother Lynne accidentally killed a 12-year-old boy when she was 20-years-old, it has been revealed. The 53-year-old hit the boy, Anthony Winters, with her car in 1975 in Kentwood, Louisiana, when he was riding on his bicycle. He later died as a result of the injuries he suffered from the accident. Lynne’s representative said: “Anthony Winters and his friend were in the road on a curve on a bicycle. As Lynne rounded the curve she could not avoid the boy in the street as there was oncoming traffic in the opposite lane. Lynne realized the boy was struck immediately and to this day is grieved by the Winters’ loss of their son.” A friend of Lynne – the mother of troubled singer Britney and new 17-year-old mom Jamie Lynn – said she is still haunted by the incident. The friend said: “To this day, Lynne hasn’t gotten over what she did. She gets that terrified look in her eye when she is thinking about it. She has told only a few people about the accident and always says, ‘Please don’t think I’m a bad person.’”

Scott Storch is Broke

bestrumor — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:13:46 GMT

One of the biggest music producers in the business has bottomed out. After what his lawyer calls a catastrophic occurrence, the paramour of Paris Hilton and Lil Kim amongst others is reportedly behind $500,000 in back real estate taxes, hasn’t spoken to his two kids in months and hasn’t had a hit record in ages. He used to get $100,000 just for a backbeat and earned as much as $70 million a year. CNN reports that he hasn’t paid taxes on his houses in 2 years and was even sued for shorting his baby mamas on child support. Where the heck did he get the money to gift Lil Kim with a Bentley then?

Miley Cyrus on the Defensive

bestrumor — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:09:33 GMT

Controversial teen sensation Miley Cyrus recently spoke with Extra! About her current life as a teenager and her new record ‘Breakout’. She talked about shedding the good girl image, how she deals with the constant media attention, paparazzi, on how her family is protective of her and on how some people are calling Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato her replacements. I think it’s pretty obvious that she doesn’t like how people are looking for a replacement as she says “People are looking up to what I do. But, I don’t think there could be a next Miley. I think they should be the next Selena, Demi…make their own way.”

Mariahs husband getting into debt

bestrumor — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 04:04:36 GMT

Mariah Carey’s new husband Nick Cannon is getting into debt as he tries to fund her extravagant lifestyle. The rapper - who married the singer in a secret ceremony in April - is reportedly worried about being perceived as a “kept man” and is splashing the cash to prove otherwise. A source told National Enquirer magazine that Nick is “burying himself in debt” trying to keep up with Mariah. The source added: “Nick’s sensitive about being perceived as a kept man, so he’s going out of his way to indulge Mariah with lavish gifts and expensive dinners. And the bottom line is that he just doesn’t have the kind of money she has. It’s starting to stress him out.” Nick is also said to be worried new career opportunities he is being offered are not genuine. The insider claimed: “It hurts him when people use him to get to Mariah. Or worse, think of him as Mr. Carey.” It was recently reported the newlyweds’ marriage was in trouble because of Mariah’s demands. A source said: “Nick is basically around to attend to her diva-ish ways. When they were in Hawaii where Mariah was filming the video for ‘I’ll Be Lovin’ U’, Nick dashed off to buy her gifts at Tiffany and Co. and Louis Vuitton to keep her happy. Nick had signed on to perform at a sweet 16 party before he and Mariah got married. But now Mariah needs to oversee and approve his career moves. There are no more silly small-time shows. She wants him to do big venues and projects. She definitely wears the pants in the relationship.”

Keep Amy Winehouse away from my boy!

bestrumor — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:16:31 GMT

Amy Winehouse’s jailed husband could be freed tomorrow — but his parents are plotting to stop him being reunited with the drug-addled singer. It has been revealed that Blake Fielder Civil’s family have written to the judge pleading for him to order their son to stay at the family home in Lincolnshire to keep him away from Amy’s drug-fuelled lifestyle. Giles and Georgette Civil want Blake, 26, to stay away from the Rehab singer, 24, until she is clean of drugs. In an exclusive interview, Georgette said: “Amy thinks Blake will be freed on Monday but it’s not good news. I’m absolutely dreading it because I don’t want him to go straight back to Amy. If he does it could be a death sentence for the two of them. Blake thinks he’s going to be Amy’s saviour and has every intention to try to stop the drugs. But Amy is completely unstable. Blake is a recovering addict and he’s not strong enough to resist the temptation.” Choking back tears, Georgette, 45, added: “If they are reunited I know they will be back on drugs within days. The dealers will swarm round Blake and Amy. They are meal tickets for the dealers. Then the police will get called, Blake will be arrested and sent back to prison. I also fear that if Blake and Amy lock themselves in a hotel room there is a real danger they will take a drugs overdose. Giving him and Amy another chance is like putting a gun to Blake’s head while playing Russian Roulette. Once he is with Amy, he won’t even be allowed to take my phone calls. I will have lost him to drugs.” Georgette revealed she will personally hand over the letter at London’s Snaresbrook Crown Court tomorrow. She said: “I’m going to give the letter to the court usher to hand to the judge. I want Blake free but I want him in an environment that is safe—without Amy. We want the judge to send Blake home to be with his parents, brothers and grandparents. I know if he goes home to me, instead of her, Amy will go berserk. But what she needs is tough love. “Amy should get herself back into rehab and stay there as long as is necessary to get her off drugs. She needs to prove that she loves him enough to stop. Then, once they are both drugs-free, they can have a real future together.” Blake is due to be sentenced after beating up a pub landlord and trying to cover up the crime. He has pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice. He could be released because he has already spent nine months on remand in Pentonville Prison. Amy’s dad Mitch, 57, last week insisted it was Blake who introduced his daughter to hard drugs. He said: “Everyone knows that—apart from Blake’s mum and dad.” Amy showed her love for her husband, who works in the record business, only last week when she dedicated a song to him at the T In The Park musical festival. Singing Wake Up Alone, she said: “This one’s for my husband, who’s out a week today.” Georgette, who runs a hair salon, added: “I believe Amy would rather die with Blake than not have him. I don’t want my son to die with her or without her but I fear Amy will whisk Blake away from us and we won’t get him back.”

Paris Hilton safer in Beverly Hills

bestrumor — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 23:56:42 GMT

Paris Hilton feels much safer in her new home. The 27-year-old hotel heiress, who recently moved to an exclusive gated community in Beverly Hills, loves the new property because it gives her more privacy. She wrote on her official blog: “As most of you know, I moved away from my old - and very accessible - house because I was sick and tired of constant invasion of my private life. I love my fans but I could not leave for a meeting or walk my dog without a camera pushing inside my front door on to personal property. I feel so much happier and safer in my new home.” Last summer, an ‘enormous’ number of people living in Paris’ former West Hollywood neighbourhood reportedly complained about the helicopters, cameramen and paparazzo constantly camped outside her house. Paris, who is currently dating Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, also revealed she has extensively refurbished her new house and is delighted with the results. She added: “I’ve been renovating it for the past year and totally made it my style. I’ve seen pictures online that are supposedly the inside of my new home, but they’re not. The house looks so different and it underwent such a big transformation into my dream home. I couldn’t be happier!”

According to reports, Natalie Cole has recently been diagnosed with Hepatitis C. Don’t fret about the singer though as she’s apparently doing quite well. She discovered that she had the disease during a routine visit to her doctor. When asked about her chances of getting cured, her doctor at Cedars said “Natalie has had a terrific response to her medication and is now virus negative. This gives her an increased chance of cure.” Doctors also revealed that the singer may have contracted the disease from past drug usage. Yet another reason to stay away from drugs kiddies. It’s really bad for you.

Wake Up Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere filmed her new fall Candie’s TV commercial which is actually a direct lift from her new music video ‘Wake Up Call’. Hayden says “The concept of my video is to give a guy who doesn’t treat his girlfriend well a wake up call and show him all the different aspects of a woman’s personality. Candie’s is the perfect fit because their styles are diverse and benefit the video as they show off all of the different sides of my character in the video.” She also talked to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show about the songs on her album saying “They’re a little bit eclectic [but the music] changed so much over the years just because my life experiences and who I am as a person is obviously reflected in the music.”

Ronnie Wood told girlfriend marriage was over

bestrumor — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:50:29 GMT

Ronnie Wood seduced his new Russian girlfriend by saying his marriage was already over. Ronnie, 61, reportedly told 20-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova his relationship with wife Jo has effectively been over for five years. Ekaterina’s close friends insist she has a clear conscience about the relationship and has fallen in love with the alcoholic Rolling Stones guitarist. One pal said: “Ronnie told her although he still lives with his wife, their marriage has been dead for more than five years. She has totally fallen for him and had no reason to disbelieve him. Ekaterina is adamant she has done nothing wrong. Ronnie had told her his marriage was over, and as far as she’s concerned she’s not to blame if it ends in divorce. She said they were like any other young couple in love, except he is a 61-year-old millionaire.” The pair have been holed up in Ronnie’s Irish retreat in County Kildare where the guitarist is said to be drinking two bottles of vodka a day. Yesterday, it was revealed Jo – Ronnie’s wife of 23 years – had told him their marriage was over in a furious voicemail message. Ronnie had originally promised to return to England and enter rehab yesterday. However, he was spotted leaving exclusive golf resort the K Club in Ireland with his son Jesse, 30, from his first marriage, last night. His only comment was: “Things are difficult right now.” Ronnie’s two children with Jo, Leah, 29, and Tyrone, 24, have reportedly vowed not to speak to their father until he gets sober. A source close to the family said: “They are disgusted about what he is doing to Jo. He was supposed to fly back for rehab but stayed in Ireland. It was all booked and paid for. Until he changes his ways his kids aren’t interested.” Ronnie met Ekaterina in a London escort club where she was working as a waitress. She then became a model for the keen painter and even met Jo, 53, who thought their relationship was innocent.

Paris Hilton WhinesAgain

Seems she’s good at that lately. And it seems to be directed at poor little defenseless salespeople. This time? It’s Apple. Paris was the proud owner of an original iPhone. Well, Apple’s newest release makes those look sad. Apparently, Paris Hilton felt she deserved more. She sent her folks down to the Apple store to upgrade her phone but was told by the salespeople just to go online and upgrade using some software. Seems that software messed up her phone and she called back pitching a fit! She reportedly said, “How could you do this to me? I’m Paris Hilton!!! I’m like so important and get calls all the effing time!!! I want a free effing phone!!! Get this shit fixed!” Yeah, that’s the way to get what you want.

Britney Spears Screen Caps for Madonna

Screen caps of Britney Spears making her cameo in Madonna’s concert video have surfaced. A source Brit’s camp told E! News “The video will be very deep. You’ve never seen Britney like this before. It will blow your mind.” The 26-year old recovering pop star is seen in an elevator wearing a hoodie. Another shot of her shows her with black pants and a white tank top. The footage will air during the Queen of Pop’s upcoming ‘Sticky & Sweet’ tour which will kick off at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on August 23. I wonder what she actually does in the video.

Photos of Miley Cyrus have made it onto the web

bestrumor — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:12:40 GMT

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.

Have you bin a cheat Madonna?

bestrumor — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:56:40 GMT

Madonna’s lover Warren Beatty was so convinced she was cheating on him he rifled through her bins. Christopher Ciccone, the singer’s brother, tells in a new book how he found misguided Beatty going through rubbish at her LA home at 3am. Actor Beatty, 71, was a notorious womanizer. But Christopher says: “Warren, operator that he has always been, had the sense to recognize his equal in Madonna.” The pair dated in 1989 when Madonna played Breathless Mahoney in Warren’s movie Dick Tracy. In ‘Life With My Sister Madonna’, Christopher, 47, also claims the star compared herself to Marilyn Monroe after allegedly bedding president’s son John F Kennedy Jr. According to her brother, she boasted: “I feel like I’m repeating Marilyn and the president.”

Jessica Simpson sparks pregnancy rumors

bestrumor — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:24:30 GMT

Jessica Simpson has sparked rumors she is pregnant. The ‘Come on Over’ singer was photographed with an apparent baby bump as she celebrated her 28th birthday in Sherman Oaks, California, on Thursday. Wearing a flowing, short-sleeved brown and white dress, topped off with a cowboy hat, Jessica grinned broadly as she walked along with friends, but appeared to have larger breasts and arms than usual. An onlooker said: “She definitely looked bigger than she usually does, and her breasts seemed to have swollen too. It could have just been down to a big lunch, but it looked like more than that. She also kept holding a grey jumper in front of her stomach, as if she was trying to hide something.” Jessica - who is divorced from singer Nick Lachey - has reportedly been finding it hard to disguise her jealousy about her 23-year-old sister Ashlee’s news she is expecting her first child with husband Pete Wentz. A source said: “Jessica has yearned for a baby for years. She’s told friends that she can’t wait to be a mom and has even joked that if she has to, she’ll resort to making her hairstylist pal Ken Paves the adoptive daddy. Jessica never imagined that her tomboy younger sister would have a baby first. It would be very hard for her not to be jealous.”

Miley Cyruss New Boy

bestrumor — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 02:13:15 GMT

When Miley Cyrus and the Mouse House hand-picked her on-screen boyfriend, they sure did a good job as it looks like the lines between fiction and reality are starting to blur. Miley is denying that there’s anything going on between her and co-star Lucas Till but the guy was charting on the BF territory when he was spotted walking just two steps behind her and her mom all over Malibu on Wednesday. That’s not the only thing she talked about on their outing though. Don’t think about bringing up the racy online pics or call Selena Gomez ‘Miley 2.0’ around her because she doesn’t like it. Maybe she’s afraid her new boy toy would run away.

Bloody Amy Winehouse

bestrumor — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 00:53:53 GMT

Trouble seems to follow Amy Winehouse as she goes from attacking a fan at a concert, attacking a fan outside her home and even attacking a security guard. That’s why I’m not surprised to find a bloody Wino leaving the Good Mixer pub in London, England on Tuesday. She could have gotten in another fight in one of the bars she went to. And it looks like she lost some money too because when the 24-year old British pop wreck talked to the photographers, she asked for a cigarette saying she had no money to buy any. Here’s a word of advice to you Wino: maybe you should think about getting to work to earn your keep in the world.

Ethan Hawke Remarries

bestrumor — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 17:59:31 GMT

Uma Thurman’s ex husband Ethan Hawke has tied the knot in a secret ceremony in America. The actor-turned-author Ethan, 37, married his long-time girlfriend and former nanny of his children, Ryan Shawhughes, 28, last month in a secret ceremony. No other details about the wedding have been released. Ryan is expected to give birth to the couple’s first child later this month, believed to be a daughter. Dead Poet’s Society actor Ethan met Ryan when she was hired to look after Maya Ray, 10, and Levon Roan, six, his two children with his first wife Uma. A friend of the couple said last December that they were “incredibly in love,” and in January Ethan’s publicist confirmed the couple were expecting a baby. The marriage comes just weeks after Uma announced her engagement to Swiss multi-millionaire Arpad Busson. Ethan and Uma were married for six years between 1998 and 2004.
