THIS!

























All I know is that Kate Moss
deserves him. That dumbass is just as much a drug addict as he is, it's just that she can hide it a tad better than he.

Pete just doesn't even care what he looks like. In this photo taken last night, Pete has sores on his face, his fingers are filthy and massively tobacco stained, his nose is raw from snorting drugs and a bleeding nose. I mean this guy is on the brink of death. And Kate Moss is engaged to him. What a pathetic route for her to chose.


They're almost like a modern day Sid & Nancy. And we all know how that ended..

paraskavedekatriaphobia

-a word that is derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Παρασκευή, δεκατρείς, and φοβία, meaning Friday, thirteen, and phobia respectively; alternate spellings include paraskevodekatriaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia.


__________

"It's been estimated that [U.S] $800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day because people will not fly or do business they would normally do."

__________

Many popular stories exist about the origin of the concept:

* The Last Supper, with stories that Judas was the thirteenth guest, and that the Crucifixion of Jesus occurred Friday.
* That the biblical Eve offered the fruit to Adam on a Friday, and that the slaying of Abel happened on a Friday (though the Bible does not identify the days of the week when these events occurred). [3]
* That it started on Friday, October 13, 1307, the date that many Knights Templar were simultaneously arrested in France, by agents of King Philip IV.

There is no true date that the Friday the 13th superstition can be linked to.

Jailed Joe Francis Tries to Bribe Guard With Cash, Caught With Pills

Joe Francis isn't the smartest crayon in the box.

The filthy rich arrogant playboy has apparently been caught with pills in his Florida jail cell after trying to bribe a guard for a bottle of water with a $100 bill last night.

The guard reported Francis to higher ups which led to his being searched, (and with any luck, probed anally.) Francis was found to be carrying $700 cash and a number of unspecified pills.


Francis may face charges of introduction of contraband into a correctional facility, which is a felony, and possession of a controlled substance.


Francis was to be detained until April 23rd, but all that may change after this latest development.

Money can't buy you everything...moron.

Hulk Hogan To Divorce?

According to the National Enquirer Hulk Hogan has secretly consulted a divorce lawyer about ending his 23-year marriage with his wife Linda.




















Despite that, the two are still together taping the fourth season of the reality show "Hogan Knows Best."

"The marriage is over. The show is the glue that's keeping them together," divulged a source. "It's Hulk who wants out. With the kids grown, he feels it's time to move on."

The source also told The Enquirer: "they're not hiding their problems from the cameras. But what hasn't been filmed is the fact that Hulk secretly consulted a divorce attorney."


STAR Magazine Looks Into The Life of Sanjaya Malakar

STAR Magazine tells of Sanjaya's life prior to American Idol.












"Sanjaya Malakar’s
off-key performances have been rudely labeled “very weak and a little weird” by Simon Cowell, snidely mocked on Saturday Night Live, and even the subject of a barrage of ridicule from shock jock Howard Stern.

And that’s not to mention the ribbing the 17-year-old singer’s taken for his ever-changing, occasional roosterlike hairdos! But given that the Washington state native had already lived through his parents’ divorce and near-poverty during his early childhood, his toughness in the face of all that criticism shouldn’t come as a surprise!


Sanjaya’s world fell apart in October of 1992, when he was just 3 years old — and his sister Shyamali, another Idol contestant, was 5 — after his father, Vasudeva Malakar, 44, filed for divorce from their mother, Jillian Recchi, 41. According to documents obtained by Star from Snohomish County (Wash.) Superior Court, the parents, who had separated a year before the divorce filing, were followers of the Hare Krishna movement. Since their marriage in 1985, they had been members of a Krishna temple in a small town 17 miles east of Seattle.

As for what caused the rift between the couple, “Their marriage was basically already over when Vasudeva began living in the temple as a full-time priest in 1992,” Harry Terhanian — known by his Krishna name of Harivilas das, and director of the Issaquah, Wash., temple — tells Star. “Sanjaya’s dad grew up in a Krishna school in India and had been fully trained as a priest.” The split was especially dramatic and unexpected since, says Terhanian, “Krishna does not condone divorce except in extreme situations.”’

When the divorce was filed, the family had almost no money coming in. Jill and the children were living in a Seattle apartment, and her only income was $531 a month from welfare. Dad Vasudeva, meanwhile, listed his yearly income as zero, and the couple’s home in a northern Seattle suburb was up for sale.

By December of 1992, according to court papers, Sanjaya’s father was compelled to leave the temple and get a paying job — and he clashed with child support authorities when they began to garnish half his paycheck. “I simply will not have enough left to live on,” pled Vasudeva, who insisted he and Jill had already agreed on a monthly figure of $200. “I am a priest and could have lived free of charge at my church, but I decided to go out and get a job to support my children.” By the time the Malakars’ divorce was granted in January 1993, the authorities had grown sympathetic to Sanjaya’s father’s pleas and reinstated his full pay to avoid driving his already meager income "below poverty level.'"

Elle Macpherson In Sydney Promoting Her New Lingerie Collection 'Boudoir'


Elle Macpherson is in Sydney for a 10-day promotional show, launching her black-label Boudoir lingerie collection.





























"This was never a celebrity-driven brand," she told the Herald's fashion editor, Kellie Hush, referring to her business relationship with the New Zealand company Bendon. "Perhaps in the beginning Bendon needed a well-known face to break into Australia, but I was also looking for a reputable manufacturer of lingerie for me to break into this market. It was a perfect fit in some respects."


"When I speak to young girls who want to start modeling, I always say it is much more valuable to have beauty as a tool than to be selling one's beauty," Macpherson said of her natural talent.

"Develop your skills and talent, then let beauty be the cherry on the cake, not the emphasis of your career. I've always tried to really develop other skills and then have the way I look as a bonus."

TMZ's American Idol Experience

Our friends over at TMZ attended the American Idol elimination last night.



















Here's their scoop from the event..

"After going through metal detectors, checking our cell phones/cameras at the door, and depositing our gum into the CBS Studio page's blue cup (no gum chewing allowed on camera), TMZ was ushered to our seats. Celebrities in the audience included Eva Longoria, Sharon Osbourne, J.Lo BFF Leah Remini, and most interestingly, 80's TV bad girl Donna Mills.

Remini brought some of her tough Brooklyn girl edge to the "Idol" set, as staff made an entire row get up and move so she and her hubby, Angelo Pagan, could sit on the aisle. When a page tried to get Leah to dispose of her gum, she shot him an evil death-ray look that sent him cowering back to his post. The power of Xenu!

Booted "Idol" hopeful, curly-haired Chris Sligh entered the studio and the crowd roared with applause and cheers. Sligh must be a huge fan of "King of Queens," because he made a beeline for Remini and introduced himself. Pre-teen fans roamed the set asking for autographs from ex-"Idols" like Sligh, Alaina Alexander (who traipsed around in trollopy red five-inch heels), and Season 5 diva, Mandisa, membah huh? Some Fanjayas even approached Sanjaya Malakar's sexy sister Shyamali for her John Hancockakar!
