Celebrity Quote Of The Day: Peaches Geldof Moves On

PEACHES Geldof:

I’m not the type to dwell on things — I just try to move on…

I have 16 tattoos. I have them to commemorate moments in my life. I think it is amazing to be able to have something on my body that reminds me of a person, place or time.

Moving on…

Mel Gibson Dad Hutton Supports Ron Paul For President

BARACK Obama or John McCain? Change or same old old?

Or how about voting for Ron Paul?

Hutton Gibson, Mel Gibson’s dad, thinks Ron Paul can make it to the White House.

There is much kudos in getting a good celebrity backer. Paul will surely be delighted to have one who denies the Holocaust, thinks 9/11 was an inside job and that the Jews – always the Jews – run the papacy.

Gibson says “the only way we can save the country is to vote for Ron Paul… In 2008.”

The video was added to YouTube in July 2008. Paul, the Texas conservative, failed in his bid to win the GOP nomination for president. So it says here.

But, then, the Jews control the media, and it may be conspiracy. Ron Paul for President!

Amy Winehouse Calls The Celebrity Ordering Toddler Service

THE Celebrity Ordering Toddler Service (COTS), sister company to the Celebrity Baby Ordering Service, takes a call from Amy Winehouse.

Says the chanteuse in the Telegraph, the UK’s leading celebrity broadsheet:

“Blake and I can’t wait to have kids. I want at least five kids. I want twins. Blake is gonna be the most amazing dad. When Blake was about we talked about it all the time. To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They’ve got their heads screwed on a lot better.”

It’s not only Blaaake that’s doing time, but also Amy’s biological clock.

A Week In The Life Of Knox And Vivienne

HOW about this for a scoop: “BRAD AND ANGELINA – THE TWINS FIRST WEEK.”

Anorak had been assured by (Fort) Knox’s people that he would get back to us, and not to bother contacting his sister Vivienne directly because she never takes calls on a Tuesday – “on ‘Chooseday’ people should be free to be themselves.”

But while we wait, Hello! nips in and gets the scoop, and we read that Knox is looking at scripts for a film based on the early life of Ghengis Kahn and Vivienne is pleased that Brad and Angelina have ended “this leg of [their] parental journey” and will have her people call their people…

Amy Winehouse’s Role Model, Blake’s ‘Girlfriend’ Sophie Schandorff And A Smiling Assassin

AMY Winehouse’s husband has been sentenced to 27 months in prison for trial fixing and grievous bodily harm.

Judge David Radford said he behaved in a “gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful way”.

Winehouse remains at liberty to belch her husband’s name every few minutes, as is her wont.

DAILY MAIL:

Amy Winehouse didn’t turn up to see husband Blake sentenced today but his reported girlfriend was in floods of tears outside the court.

Blonde German model Sophie Schandorff, 21, was obviously distraught after the hearing, which saw Fielder-Civil sentenced to 27 months in prison today for grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice.

Schandorff caused a stir at court in April when she was in Winehouse’s usual place to support Fielder-Civil and the couple were seen to mouth ‘I love you’ to each other.

You may be intersted to hear what Blaaaake’s brief had to say by way of his defence:

“They are very much committed to each other and their ambition is to divorce themselves from hard drugs and not separate themselves from each other.

Madonna A-Rod Sex Movie Makes It To First Base

NO small shock that Madonna has become embroiled in a “SEX VIDEO SHOCK” in which she, allegedly, fails to simulate sex.

Having seen the singer simulate spanking, simulate losing her virginity and simulate sex on your coffee table in a book called Sex – it featuring photos of Madge simulating lesbianism, homosexuality and sadomasochism – news that Madonna possibly has sex is worthy of the Star’s front page.

The paper says Madonna and Alex Rodriguez, a US baseball player, have been caught “locked in a steamy romp”.

James Bond’s Short Man Syndrome

CAN it be that James Bond, ably played by Daniel Craig, has gone native?

The Star says Bond has taken to wearing stacked heals. The paper says this is to stop his co-star, one Gemma Arterton, from towering over him.

But surely Bond keeps his knife in his shoes and in the manner of Rosa Klebb defies anyone to cell him short, lest they be whittled away by repeated kicks about the ankles from his boots.

Of course, the producers could just have hired a smaller Bond love interest, and so negated any chance of his looking like an action figure…

Blake’s Mum Says Amy Winehouse Is A Death Sentence

PHIL Taylor writes for the News of the World on husband bore Amy Winehouse and her Blake Fielder-Dreams.

Says Taylor:

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.

One thing we know about Blaaaake is that he works at Her Majesty’s Pleasure, and is as much a force in the music industry as Super Hans is, the muso, cabbaged shyster on TV’s Peep Show.

Says Winehouse at that show: “This one’s for my husband, who’s out a week today.”

Brilliant news. At least when Blake emerges blinking into his wife’s limelight her act can move on.

Jon Gaunt Wants Russell Brand Attacked For Free Speech

THE SUN’S campaign to have every celebrity locked up – and so reduce the expense of observing them – moves on.

There has been a series of sexual assaults in Northampton, where Brand is appearing on stage:

He borrows an audience member’s phone and rings the police hotline to tell them he’s actually seen the offender….

Pole Jobs: Dancer Benefits From Robbie Williams And Declan Donnelly

“A POLE dancer who slept with Declan Donnelly and Robbie Williams has been exposed as a benefits cheat.”

So says the Daily Sport in a story that illustrates the country’s mores.

Readers now know that sleeping with TV presenter Declan Donnelly is on a par with sleeping with pop star Robbie Williams, and that pole dancing and pre-martial serial shagging are less shocking than claiming income support when in work.
