Lauryn Hill to go to jail?
DESPITE being the only talented one in The Fugees (no-one remembers Pras and Wyclef’s obvious lack of talent is underlined in will.i.am stealing his career off him), Lauryn Hill hasn’t been having a good time of it since making one of the best debut LPs in history.
Becoming something of a recluse, being accused of racism and generally looking a little erratic, Lauryn could now be going to jail.
It has been reported that Hill has been charged with failing to pay tax on more than $1.8m. She allegedly failed to file tax returns to the US internal revenue service between 2005 and 2007 which means she’s in a whole world of pain. Three counts of tax-evasion carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail plus a $100,000 fine.

When Fearne Cotton met Paloma Faith the BBC got the Diana and Fergie we don’t miss
WAS Fearne Cotton’s chat with pixie-voied Paloma Faith the nadir of the BBC’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations?
There were lots of complaints about the segment hereunder. And in reaction, Cotton opined:
“Grown men who slag me off in articles/online are huge bullies. I love my job and wouldn’t be doing it if I wasn’t any good at it. People who sit lazily and judge others will never grow. They’ll never take a look at themselves or feel content.”

Travolta had gay relationship with pilot? Doug Gotterba alleges
CAN we make a ‘look who’s talking now?’ joke concerning the myriad of men who have claimed to have had some kind of sexual encounter with John Travolta? Doesn’t matter now. We’ve already done it.
Either way, Travolta is the subject of many claims at the moment and now, there’s someone saying that the Saturday Night Fever actor spent most of the ’80s riding a pilot’s joystick, Doug Gotterba.
Travolta’s secretary at the time spoke about her old boss’s sex life. She said:

John Mayer hits out at Taylor Swift over world’s lamest beef track
HIP HOP is well known for well-publicised beefs, but now we’ve got one between two of the lamest, wettest humans in the known universe. You see, Taylor Swift wrote a thinly-veiled dig at former beau and all-round douche, John Mayer… and he’s not happy about it.
Of course, Mayer is known for his controversial views on exes and women. You may recall his referring to Jessica Simpson as “sexual napalm”, which is nice. Well, now he’s all seriously upset by something one of his other flings has said about him.

ROCK stars are great . They have long hair that gets thicker and thicker as their fame surges; perfect teeth that never go missing and groupies as a utility. But what did they look like when younger? Like this:

Song of the day – Maxine Swaby’s Pardon Me
SONG of the day is Maxine Swaby’s Pardon Me.
WARNING: Listen to it twice and never get it out of your head:
Madonna in trouble with the far-right
MADONNA, the Queen of Pop turned spiritual world healer, is known for her constant reinvention as well as for getting into cat fights. Well, she is now in trouble with French right-wing politician Marine Le Pen.
While in Israel to promote her new album – and peace in the Middle East – Madonna performed in front of a giant screen showing Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead.
Ms Le Pen reportedly commented: “We understand how old singers who need to get people talking about them go to such extremes.” Ouch.
The controversial image appeared during Madonna’s performance of the song “Nobody Knows Me”. A video projected on to the giant screen erected on the stage showed quickly alternating images of political and religious figures, including Chinese leader Hu Jinatao, US politician Sarah Palin and Pope Benedict XVI.

D’Angelo lives and dies by the six-pack – when men gets body issues
D’ANGELO, the singer formerly known as Michael Eugene Archer, has issues. Amy Wallace reports on what happens when talent turns himself into a himbo and loses his devotion to the prime rib:
D’Angelo felt tortured, Questlove says, by the pressure to give the audience what it wanted. Worried that he didn’t look as cut as he did in the video, he’d delay shows to do stomach crunches. He’d often give in, peeling off his shirt, but he resented being reduced to that. Wasn’t he an artist? Couldn’t the audience hear the power of his music and value him for that? He would explode, Questlove recalls, and throw things. Sometimes he’d have to be coaxed not to cancel shows altogether. When I ask D about this, he downplays his suffering. Watching him pull hard on another Newport, I realize that he finds it far easier to confess his addictions than his insecurities about his corporeal self. Self-destructing with a coke spoon—while ill-advised—has a badass edge. Fretting over what Questlove has called “some Kate Moss shit” seems anything but manly…
A shaven chest owned by man who spends hours in the gym working out in front of a mirror was once considers less than manly…

Amy Winehouse’s Camden no-rehab home is for sale – photos
WANT to buy the Camden Town house Amy Winehouse died in? The Sun says it;s yours for £2.7m. The Sun also says it’s not a house. It’s a “HOUSE SHRINE”.
Back in 2011, Gordon Smart told Sun readers that the house would become the “HQ” of the Amy Winehouse rehab charity.
Rehab never worked for Winehouse. It’s hard to think a rehab centre in her old home would have been what she would have wanted. But she had sung a song about rehab, so the Sun had its scoop.
A source told us: “…if they [the Winehouse family] sold they think it could attract the wrong kind of buyer as it was where Amy passed away.”

Kim Kardhian has her ‘priceless’ sunglasses stolen at Thiefrow
KIM Kardashian says British Airways workers at Thiefrow Airport stole some of her “irreplaceable” items. You might suppose Kim’s biggest assets are zipped to her superstructure – the bum jugs and front jugs, come to mind. But Kardashian says the BA worked have stolen a load of her handbags and a pair of – get his – “priceless” sunglasses she inherited from her dearly departed dad.
This is how it is in the Hollywood Hills, readers. Your dad leaves you his underpants, a library book fine, the advice never to look under the loose floorboard in the shed and a taxman suit. The Hollywood showbiz lawyer leaves behind priceless sunglasses that when you look through them turn everything green, render body hair invisible and have mirrors on the inside…

Justin Bieber could spend 6 months in prison, which would be funny
YOU know how Justin Bieber has been accused of roughhousing a photographer? Well, presumably hoping it would all go away like that girl who claimed she’d had his baby, this case is going to rumble on after it was reported that his case will be referred to the Los Angeles County District Attorney for possible criminal prosecution.
Hilariously, if he’s charged and convicted, he could go to the clink for a whole six months.
According to professional ambulance-chasers TMZ, the police have decided to refer the case to prosecutors.

Mary J. Blige: Charity scammer?
SHE may have given soul music a shot in the arm by introducing it to hip hop, but Mary J. Blige could be in a mountain of trouble. Mary J. set up a charity, but sadly, rather than empowering women, it has been bouncing cheques, doesn’t have an office or a phone number and has seen hundreds of thousands of dollars of donations going walkies, allegedly.
Blige’s charity failed to file its tax returns as well as its annual state-charity registration, which means it has been slapped with two lawsuits. One claims that the group has swindled musicians regarding a 2011 fund-raising gala and another alleges the charity has defaulted on a $250,000 loan.

Gordon Ramsay and Will Ferrell regrettably not dead
TWO of the most hateful humans to ever evolve from apes, Gordon Ramsay and Will Ferrell, played in a charity football match last night and we’re sad to report that neither of them are dead.
Ferrell limped off the pitch, presumably after injuring his severely under-employed funny bone. However, it was Ramsay who looked closest to joining the great choir invisible after he was removed from the pitch after a run in with former England player Teddy Sheringham.

Gary Barlow senses the Queen’s magic: Naff Diamond Jubilee tribute of the day
NAFF Diamond Jubilee tribute of the day: Take That Gary Barlow sees the light:
“Meeting the Queen . . . well, it’s not like meeting a normal person. She’s surrounded by this powerful aura, but it’s an aura that feels warm, good and nice. I’ve met some powerful people in my life and there’s often a darkness you get with power. Not with the Queen. You never get the feeling that she has abused her power.”
Arise Sir Gary….

Professor Green wants to throw everyone from TOWIE in prison
HE may not have gone through any kind of medical school or somesuch, but Professor Green is – remarkably – saying very wise things. This is despite the fact that, when he raps, he sounds like Cuddles the monkey if Orville got him in a headlock.
In an interview, he decided to stick the boot in on those loathsome chancers from The Only Way Is Essex. Obviously, this is the absolutely correct thing to do with those preening, varnished nincompoops with all the wherewithal of a bucket of fish-heads.

Watchmen actress to play Debbie Harry on the silver screen?
PUNK is a sly old slag. It pretended to be anti-establishment (ie, anti-corporate and therefore, anti-money) when all along, it was just waiting to cash-in and start shouting its mouth off saying that all attempts at grabbing money are little more than ‘art-school pranks’ and that, as ever, punk is as real as real can be.
So now, firmly part of the establishment, punk is going to the silver screen with a biopic of legendary NYC punk club, CBGBs.

Beyonce Knowles beats journalism with her vacation diary for Essence
SIGNS that journalism is dying: Beyonce Knowles has won an award for her writing. The New York Association of Black Journalists has given Beyonce a prize for a ‘What I Did on My Holidays’ article she wrote for Essence magazine.
The article, for those of you who missed it, can be read here. The highlights of Beyonce’s award-winning nine-month holiday are:
“…Here Beyoncé shares her journey with ESSENCE readers exclusively.Whenever I work with ESSENCE, it feels like home. The collaboration is always smooth and the concept of the rodeo took me…”
“…I’m drawn to the ocean. Whether it’s jumping from a yacht…”
“…All over Italy the streets smell like gelato…”
“…I was in the middle of performing “Irreplaceable,” and as the audience started singing, “to the left, to the left,” there was a woman sitting on top of a man’s shoulders in her full, traditional burka. Only her eyes and hands were visible. She was waving her hands to the left, to the left, and singing every word — which I could see because the veil around her mouth was moving…”
“…I discovered I love artichokes…”
“…Anyone can plan a staycation, just make the decision to take time for yourself and explore. Eat alone at your favorite restaurant or the one you’ve always wanted to try. Go to a day spa instead of getting the quick mani-pedi. Grab a friend and visit the closest winery. I’m grateful for the time I gave myself to breathe…”
