Tulisa Contostavlos’ secret arrest after stabbing
BEING Tulisa isn’t easy. First off, you have to be in a band with Dappy and secondly, you have to defend yourself after someone crassly leaks a blow-job video of you online. Then there’s the whole ‘working for Simon Cowell’ thing. It’s been a rocky road for that poor woman.
And now, she’s revealing more about her turbulent life.
In her biog, she’s talked about her secret arrest after a stabbing! Apparently, she attended a party in 2008 which saw a massive fight breaking out. Someone in the ruckus got stabbed. Worried that this could ruin her reputation, Contostavlos ran away from the scene, phoning her manager Jonathan Shalit for advice before contacting the police.

Whores’ Glory – a film on the commodities of sex for sale
WHORES’ GLORY, a film by Michael Glawogger, is a look at prostitution in Thailand, Bangladesh and Mexico.
In Bangkok, Thailand, women punch a clock and wait for clients in a brightly lit glass box; in the red-light district of Faridpur, Bangladesh, a madam haggles over the price of a teenage girl; and in the border town of Reynosa, Mexico, crack-addicted women pray to a deity named Lady Death. Winner of the Orizzonti Special Jury Prize at the 2011 Venice Film Festival, Glawogger’s latest larger-than-life documentary is an audacious, non-judgmental study of sexuality, politics, human behavior and the effects of capital and religion on both women and men from starkly different cultures.

Russell Brand does missionary work for the homosexually intolerant Dalai Lama
WHEN Russell Brand and the Dalai Lama met on stage at The Manchester Evening News Arena, talk turned to religion. This was missionary stuff. The Dalai Lama is in the UK to promote Tibet and Buddhism. A crowd of under-25s were given free tickets to the event. Brand would soften them up with star appeal before the Dalai Lama hit them with religion.
Said Brand: “Going from junkie to Shagger of the Year…three times… to now introducing the Dalai Lama. It has been an interesting journey.”
No. It’s precisely the kind of thing Brand would then do. Drugs. Sex. God.

R Kelly is a wanted man, again!
AMERICA’S IRS are currently at R Kelly’s door shouting “Can we get a toot, toot? Beep beep?” and asking where to go after the show and the after party because, if the R&B egomaniac doesn’t mind too much, he owes them a reported $5million and if he wouldn’t mind handing it over, that’d be great.
Real talk.

TOWIE tanner Lauren Goodger targeted by online golfers – twitter horror!
LAUREN Goodger wants to talk about trolls. Having previously starred in the first ever celebrity abort ‘n’ tell, flogged slimming pills tested on animals and working as a rep for Peta, Lauren pushed her envelope by tweeting a photo of her arse – “Marbella 2012 @Oceanclub with my @RiverIslandPR monokini on!x”. As a result, Lauren’s twitter account received comments that were not all flattering.
In “I wish the sperm that made you never found the egg“, the Sun leads with an “investigation into the vile abuse” received by the “TOWIE star”.
So bad is it that a few hours later, Lauren tweets a photo of her tummy (see photo):
Just been gym I want 6 pac loool not there yet little way 2 go I don’t want be skinny I want be fit!!x
To save you the bother of following Lauren on Twitter, Jenna Sloan and Lauren pick out the best tweets:
Lauren, 25, said: “One message I got said ‘I bet your mum and dad hate you’…another said ‘I bet your mum wishes her egg had never accepted the sperm that made you’. That was shocking. Another said ‘you look like a Cabbage Patch doll’.”

Rot-oh! Hugh Laurie: RoboCop
DID you know that there was a remake of RoboCop afoot? You have 20 seconds to comply with your answer. Did you know that Hugh Laurie is likely to be involved in it? Imagine him in his Jeeves & Wooster guise, mincing around burning debris and killer androids!
Alas, Hugh won’t be playing Jose Padilha’s RoboCop, rather, getting the gig of being the chief baddie in the film. Classic ‘Get An Englishman To Play The Baddie’ move from Hollywood there. Alan Rickman will be furious!

Justin Bieber’s perfume sold to Elizabeth Arden: is he being ripped off?
JUSTIN Bieber’s perfume, Justin Bieber’s Girlfriend, has been sold to the company Elizabeth Arden. All seems fair enough on the face of it, brands change hands all the time.
However, there’s a little wrinkle to it. The company which used to distribute it, Give Back Brands, is supposed to be a non-profit. And as far as we know it’s not just the profits of the manufacturing company, but also the profits of the personality behind the brand, which are given to charity.

Gene Wilder writes a gentle critique of his Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory costume
WHEN Gene Wilder was picked to play Will Wonka in the 1970 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, he wrote to directer Mel Stuart about the sketehs for his costume:
July 23rd
Dear Mel,
I’ve just received the costume sketches. I’ll tell you everything I think, without censoring, and you take from my opinion what you like.
I assume that the designer took his impressions from the book and didn’t know, naturally, who would be playing Willy. And I think, for a character in general, they’re lovely sketches.
I love the main thing — the velvet jacket — and I mean to show by my sketch the exact same color. But I’ve added two large pockets to take away from the svelt, feminine line. (Also in case of a few props.)
I also think the vest is both appropriate and lovely.
And I love the same white, flowing shirt and the white gloves. Also the lighter colored inner silk lining of the jacket.
What I don’t like is the precise pin pointing in place and time as this costume does.
I don’t think of Willy as an eccentric who holds on to his 1912 Dandy’s Sunday suit and wears it in 1970, but rather as just an eccentric — where there’s no telling what he’ll do or where he ever found his get-up — except that it strangely fits him: Part of this world, part of another. A vain man who knows colors that suit him, yet, with all the oddity, has strangely good taste. Something mysterious, yet undefined.
I’m not a ballet master who skips along with little mincy steps. So, as you see, I’ve suggested ditching the Robert Helpmann trousers. Jodhpurs to me belong more to the dancing master. But once elegant now almost baggy trousers — baggy through preoccupation with more important things — is character.
Slime green trousers are icky. But sand colored trousers are just as unobtrusive for your camera, but tasteful.
The hat is terrific, but making it 2 inches shorter would make it more special.
Also a light blue felt hat-band to match with the same light blue fluffy bow tie shows a man who knows how to compliment his blue eyes.
To match the shoes with the jacket is fey. To match the shoes with the hat is taste.
Hope all is well. Talk to you soon.
All my best,
Gene

GaGa shows off black eye and has a pop at Madonna in the process
LADY GAGA has tweeted the picture of the black eye she got after being smacked about the head with a metal pole during a gig.
She tweeted: “Emerging from hours of sleep. Still remiss if I should go outside, with this clonker I may be of questionable styling. Thank you so much for all the thoughtful messages. I feel a bit woozy but a little better everyday. Very happy to be in beautiful Australia.”
Following the accident, GaGa told the audience: “I want to apologise, I did hit my head and I think I may have a concussion but don’t you worry I will finish this show.”

Rihanna likens The Sun to a ‘baggy ass condom’
TIRESOME she may be, but Rihanna is showing good value this week as she takes her claws out and aims them directly at the heart of The Sun. Of late, she’s been very keen to voice her displeasure at the tabloid, but nothing quite prepared us all for the insult she conjured up this week.
It all started when The Sun suggesting that RiRi used a body double in her risque Armani ad, saying that a woman named Jahnassa was used in the shoot as a body double, especially those concerning a rear end.

Lindsay Lohan lied to the police? Prison beckons? As if….
JUST when Lindsay Lohan looked like she’d stopped being in trouble, the long hook of bother has felt up her collar again. So, when she’s not being called a jewel thief, or a common assaulter, or a drug wreck, or a booze hound, she’s now being accused of lying to the police.
LiLo has been alleged to have lied to cops on Friday when she told them that she wasn’t driving the Porsche that had crashed into a truck on the Pacific Coast Highway. If that’s the case, then the 25-year-old actress could be prosecuted and her probation could be revoked.

Lindsay Lohan car accident photos
WALKING tabloid car crash and bit-time actress Lindsay Lohan has been in accident with her Porsche and a large truck northbound on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica. The truck’s driver, James, does as any self-respecting Lohan associate does and talks to TMZ about how it was allllll her fault.
He also alleges that Lohan tried to quit the scene and pay him off. Two men were in a car behind Lohan’s. James says Lohan got into that car and the men offered him some money. Says James:
“Him and the guy took me across the street and told me this was some kind of famous person and they didn’t want to be in the media. But I’d already called 911 because they were trying to get away from the scene. But they packed a bag and then the limousine driver told me, ‘Don’t mention the bag to the cops.'”
