| Justin Bieber heading towards Britney-style meltdown Posted:  Record label bosses fear Justin Bieber is risking his singing career by behaving like a spoiled teenager. Staffs at Def Jam Recordings have made several attempts to confront the 18-year-old singer about his "arrogant" attitude. But a source said that the 'Baby' hitmaker doesn't seem to care and does whatever he wants. He doesn't listen to anyone. The source also said that the teen icon is surrounded by people who say "yes" to anything he wants. Bieber's behaviour has raised concerns that he will be following in the same path as former teen star Britney Spears , the Daily Star reported. He is reportedly also stressed over his on-off relationship with Selena Gomez. Another source said that Gomez has been partying without Bieber, which is driving him crazy. Bieber has been under pressure recently after being slammed by the Philippine government over tweets mocking their legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao, 34, and he's been accused of animal cruelty for giving a hamster to a fan at a US concert. |

Following the incident, 'Will and Grace' actor Sean Hayes - who starred opposite the blonde beauty in Broadway production 'Promises, Promises' in 2010 - took to his twitter account to wish the actress a ''speedy recovery''. He tweeted: ''Sending out my love and wishes for a speedy recovery to my former leading lady, @KChenoweth.''

They've been sneaking around for months but there's only so long you can keep it quiet."

She explained: "It does sometimes change the dynamic, in the sense that you're more well known and people presuppose more about you because they've seen your work and maybe read things about you. "But usually you meet people in the same business, so you're not feeling awkward if you or the guy you met has just had a big film out, or whatever." Mila and Ashton have known each other for over 15 years, having found fame together on 'That 70s Show'. Tags: |

Perched on the cliff edge near St Just, Penzance, the mines, have been chosen alongside the likes of the Northern Lights, Sydney Harbour and the Taj Mahal as a must-see destination. The ruins of the structures which once housed the mining machinery are a "dramatic counterpoint" to the rugged rocks and wild seas of Cornwall's north coast, according to the list by CNN. "The tin mines may be closed, but the ruins of the structures which once housed them near St Just make a thrillingly dramatic counterpoint to the rugged rocks and wild seas of Cornwall's north coast," the Daily Mail quoted CNN as saying. The mines are among three places in Britain which made the list, just scraping in at number 27. Witnessing a starling murmuration at Brighton Pier made number two in the list, while the Lake District made it at number 24. Topping the list is Borobudur at sunrise in Java, Indonesia, with the Brighton starlings a close second. Third is the Northern Lights in Scandinavia, followed closely by the great migration in East Africa. The fifth and six spot is filled by the star-filled sky, in New Zealand and the Torres del Paine in Chile. Morocco's Djemaa el Fna is in seventh place and California's Yosemite peaks is the eight must see place to see before death. Number nine is Santa Maria della Salute in Venice, the Jungle pyramids in Mexico is number ten and 11 is the electrical storm in Tornado Alley, USA. The famous Sydney Harbour comes in at 12, with the inside of Thrihnukagigur volcano in Iceland at 13. Number 14 is Monument Valley in the US and 15 is India's Taj Mahal. The Kasanka bat migration in Zambia, Carlsbad Cavern in America, Lunar rainbow in Zambia and Shubenacadie tidal bore in Canada take the 16,17,18 and 19 spots. Cape Tribulation in Australia, Rock Face City of Petra in Jordan, Enrosadira in Italy and Fairy Chimneys in Turkey take up the spots from 20 to 23. England's Lake District is at 24, with the Sardine run in South Africa at 25. The last two spaces are filled by the pristine beaches of Islas Cies in Spain and finally, Cornwall's ruined mines come in at 27. "There are some things you can see around the world that have the potential to give you photo-showing rights for decades," CNN said. "We haven't got them all - in fact we barely scratched the surface. But we have picked out a few of the scenes that, if you're lucky enough to witness them, will invariably leave you spellbound," it added. The 27 sites to see before you die are: 1. Borobudur at sunrise - Java (Indonesia) 2. Starling murmuration - Brighton Pier (England) 3. Northern Lights - Scandinavia 4. The great migration - East Africa 5.

Fairy chimneys - Cappadocia (Turkey) 24. Lake District lakes - England 25. Sardine run - South Africa 26. Pristine beaches of Islas Cies - Spain 27. Cornwall's ruined mines - England Tags: |
| $1m gold and diamond bra on sale in US Posted:  A Birmingham store is selling an 18 carat gold bra encrusted with over 500 carats of diamonds for a whopping 1 million dollars.The blinged-out lingerie, sold at Birmingham Estate and Jewelry Buyers, was created by storeowner Anthony Aubry, who named it after his wife, Rita. "If you just have that much money, someone would want it to say 'Oh, I have a $1 million bra,' or some people would put it on display at their house or something, and some people, believe it or not, would actually want to wear it," CBS News quoted Aubry as saying. According to Aubry, the solid gold brasserie took over three months to design and took a crew of workers almost a year to make. Aubry said that the major difference between his design and the famed Victoria's Secret million-dollar "Fantasy" bras is that the chain store's showpieces have "fabric in them and the diamonds are kind of imbedded into the fabric." Aubrey's work of art is solid gold - it has 750 grams of it. Tags: |
| Rampant sex secrets at Olympic village exposed Posted:  In the run-up to the 2012 Summer Olympics, which will kick off on 27th July, a new book has revealed just what goes on at Olympic Villages worldwide and no matter which country hosts it, it's always a struggle keeping booze and condoms in strong supply.According to the anonymously authored expose 'The Secret Olympics', which is written by a former British competitor, organizers supplied 70,000 condoms to athletes at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. The stockpile ran out in a week. While alcohol and drugs are banned at Olympic Villages, competitors often fill water bottles with booze and smuggle in weed and doping agents. While officials don't condone such behaviour, they don't condemn it either, and the only thing that matters is that the image of the Olympics remains unsullied. "What happens in the Village stays in the Village," the New York Post quoted the anonymous author as writing. Olympic Villages are vast, pre-fab communities, divided into smaller subdivisions by nation. The United States' area has a 24-hour McDonald's, as well as sponsored beer halls – a Budweiser House and a Heineken House. Everything is free including the unlimited supply of condoms, stamped with sports-specific logos. Olympians, however, say that the insatiable demand for condoms is a giant practical joke. "It's a tradition — taking so many that they have to replace them," Todd Lodwick, the 35-year-old-five-time Olympic Nordic combined athlete and a two-time gold medallist, said. "It's a myth: 'Oh, look at all the sex these Olympians are having!'" he added. Tags: |

| Marilyn Monroe voted cleavage queen Posted:  Marilyn Monroe, even after 50 years of her death, beat actresses including Scarlett Johansson, Mad Men's Christina Hendricks and Sophia Loren to be crowned as the woman with the best bust of all time.The actress - who appeared in 1950s comedies including 'Some Like It Hot' and 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' - was closely trailed in the cleavage league table by TV presenter and host of the show 'This Morning', Holly Willoughby, often lovingly nicknamed Holly Willoughbooby. British actress and model Elizabeth Hurley came third, followed in fourth place by voluptuous Kelly Brook, who recently designed a New Look clothing line for women with more realistic figures. Italian septuagenarian and screen Icon Sophia Loren came fifth on the list, with Vicky Christina Barcelona star Johansson, Hendricks and singer Beyonce placed sixth, seventh and eighth respectively. The poll was collated by high street retailer Debenhams in wake of the realisation that over half of their female customers wear a bra size DD or higher. The shop asked 1,000 customers, both male and female - all of whom were shopping in their fuller-bust lingerie range, Gorgeous - which famous female they thought had the best cleavage. "If you've got it flaunt it, but reveal your assets appropriately," the Daily Mail quoted Sharon Webb, Head of Lingerie Buying and Design for Debenhams as saying. "It's no surprise that Marilyn was voted number one; she clearly wore well fitting bras and never made a boob of herself; she knew how much decolletage to bear. "For most women, there is nothing that says fashion disaster like a bra that doesn't fit properly and if you're blessed with a fuller chest and not so keen on the beach ball bust trend, then this can be a challenge," she said. The top 10 stars with the best cleavage: 1. Marilyn Monroe 2. Holly Willoughbyv 3. Liz Hurley 4. Kelly Brook 5. Sofia Loren 6. Scarlett Johansson 7. Christina Hendricks 8. Beyonce Knowles 9. Kim Kardashian 10. Dita Von Teese Tags: |

| Whitney Houston Kept Drug Habit From Friends Posted:  Whitney Houston hid her drug habit from her friends and family in the weeks before her tragic death as they all thought the singer had gotten herself clean.Whitney Houston hid her drug habit from her friends and family in the weeks before her tragic death. The 'I Will Always Love You' singer - who had a history of substance abuse - was found dead in the bath tub of her hotel room in February after suffering a huge heart attack partly brought on by her cocaine abuse but those close to her thought she had been clean for two years. Whitney's pal and entertainment consultant Raffles van Exel said: "Whitney was good at hiding her drug habit. I honestly thought she was clean in the two years before she died. Yes, she would have the occasional drink. And I knew she was taking painkillers and the anxiety drug Xanax. But I never suspected she was using hard drugs. "It really shocked me when I found that out. And actually it made me quite mad because I thought, 'Whitney, you had us all fooled.' Everyone thought Whitney was in a good place and we never imagined anything like this was going to happen." However, Raffles said 48-year-old Whitney - who had been using cocaine at the time of death - had a premonition she was going to die. He told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "But looking back, Whitney seemed to have a premonition about her death. She started carrying a Bible around everywhere she went and would read from it all the time. "Also, she kept talking about 'leaving' America. I thought she meant she was going to Switzerland, where she had talked about living, but now I realise she meant she was leaving this world." Tags: |
| Cheryl Cole blamed for being farting on planes Posted:  Cheryl Cole has revealed that she is always being accused of breaking wind in flight, as people think she's too famous to bother holding it in.The Girls Aloud star said that travellers letting off bad smells on planes is one of her major disgusts. "I always look around and try to work out who it was and I see the eyes staring back at me," the Sun quoted her as saying. "I know they're thinking, 'Cheryl Cole thinks it's OK to fart on a plane as she's special,' and it's so not true," she said. She has called for somebody to invent a spray to corner the culprits. "There should be a sort of aerosol that can be sprayed into the air and it would pinpoint the guilty person. "You can get a similar thing to go into swimming pools to discourage people from peeing. I think it would be a winner on a long flight," she added. Tags: |
| Madonna may face lawsuit in France over Nazi symbol Posted:  France's National Front party has threatened to sue American pop diva Madonna over the use of Nazi swastika in depiction of party leader Marine Le Pen.Madonna kicked off her MDNA Tour in Israel's Tel Aviv last Thursday to promote her new album as well as peace between Israelis and Palestinians. An image of Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead appeared on a giant screen during the concert, France 3 television reported. Officials from the National Front, which has frequently been linked with anti-Semitism and racism but won a fifth of the popular vote during the first round of presidential elections in April, said Madonna had offended all of its members and supporters. Le Pen, who has toned down the party's extremist views since taking over the leadership from her notorious father last year, commented on Madonna's provocative stunt by saying: "We understand how old singers who need to get people talking about them go to such extremes." Her deputy, Louis Aliot, was more blunt, stating that the party will look into the possibility of filing a law suit against Madonna if she repeats her stunt during a concert in France. Madonna, who turns 54 in August, will stage a concert at the Stade de France in Paris July 14 when France celebrates Bastille Day, which marks the end of the French monarchy and the beginning of the French Revolution.

| Divorce Hotel: 'Untie the knot' overnight! Posted:  A hotel in The Netherlands that offers quick and cheap divorce is proving popular among couples who are desperate to end their marriage.The 'Divorce Hotel' helps husbands and wives to arrange all the necessary legal documentation to end their marriage over the course of just two days. They meet a mediator and series of lawyers behind closed doors who will split assets, agree alimony payments and arrange visitation rights - all for a fixed fee, News.com.au reported. Entrepreneur Jim Halfens behind the concept said he spotted a gap in the market in a country where the average divorce can easily run into five figures and take months to complete. "When they leave the hotel, all work is done," Halfens told Sky News. "The only thing that happens then in Dutch law is that they have to show the agreement to a judge in the Netherlands and that takes a couple of weeks. "They walk divorced out of this door and to make it official takes a couple of weeks," he stated. He uses a number of high-end boutique hotels around the country, including the smart Carlton Ambassador Hotel in The Hague. Sales manager Ninke Bons explains that the couples, who often check in together, but mostly choose to stay in separate rooms, are handled with care by the staff. "We treat them as any other guests, we just try to keep a closer eye on them or make sure they are not wandering around by themselves," she said. "Just as an example - we would normally inquire if a guest enjoyed their stay at the hotel. Well, obviously that's not very appropriate in the case of the 'Divorce Hotel," she added. Couples have to apply to use the process and are rigorously screened by the divorce hotel legal team. If the husband and wives are squabbling, or barely on speaking terms, they are deemed unsuitable for the process. The concept is thought to be perfect for TV and the multi-Emmy Award winning Base Productions is pitching a series to television networks in the US, and several are said to be interested. Producer Mickey Stern says rather than a reality TV show - a genre born in the Netherlands - they are proposing a high-gloss documentary series examining couples as they go through the process and how conflicts are resolved as the spoils are divided.
