Lindsay Lohan Plays With Knives, Has No Friends




News Of the World, the fine folks who brought us pictures of Lindsay Lohan snorting lines of coke in the loo, has now obtained some frightening pics of Lilo playing with knives.



Lindsay, who entered rehab at Malibu Promises last week, is seen holding a knife to a friend’s throat and also putting a knife in her own mouth. Never one to avoid a photo op, Lindsay appears quite out of it in these pictures taken at a house party four months ago. This once again proves that Lindsay’s first visit to rehab was NOT successful, much like her efforts to find trustworthy and good-hearted friends. Lindsay must have been coked-out-of this-universe to allow such candid shots of herself to be taken.


I must say, Ms. Lohan has made some outrageously stellar choices in friends. And when I say “friend” in Lindsay’s case what I mean is: people who would drug you, rape you, steal your wallet, hump your corpse, run over your dog, stab your grandmother, mooch your drugs, spit in your beer, leave you stranded, let your wear something that makes you look fat, screw your boyfriend, and possibly take unflattering and incriminating photos of you while you’re high on illegal substances. Real pals, that’s what I’m saying.

Lindsay, when you get out of rehab (if you get out) here’s a definition of a friend. Write this down, refer to it often, and make a mental note, for this information will serve you well in life.

A Friend is someone who looks out for you, who holds your secrets in confidence, who has your back when needed and who tells you the truth, not just what you want to hear. A friend is someone who would tell you if the guy you liked hit on them, rather than making out with them. A friend is someone who might take a silly photo of you, but also let’s you watch them delete it. A true friend is someone you can have fun with WHILE NOT fried out of your mind.

And ultimately Lindsay, a friend is someone who you choose, not who fate has chosen for you. A real friend doesn’t want anything from you, they don’t care about how much money you have or what you can do for them, they just care about you.

I think it’s safe to say that you don’t have any of these in your life, so how about you dump all these other a-holes and start all over? Your mom is not your friend, btw, that’s not her job. If she isn’t doing her job, you should fire her ass too.

Also, one last thing, in order to have a true friend, you need to be a true friend. Perhaps start with yourself and then work your way up to others, ‘cuz if you don’t like yourself, how can anyone else like you.

No need to thank me Lindsay, I’m just telling you what any person who actually cared about you should have told you long ago.

THEY WERE BOUND FOR TROUBLE !!

Paris Hilton Mocked by Sarah Silverman at the MTV Movie Awards






Sarah Silverman gave it hard Paris Hilton at the MTV Movie Awards just hours before Paris changed clothes and headed to jail. The comedienne cracked a crude joke at the expense Paris in her opening monologue. She said to the audience, "In a couple of days, Paris Hilton is going to jail." Silverman then went on to say that "The judge says that it’s going to be a no-frills thing and that is ridiculous. She is totally going to get special treatment."


Paris Hilton Mocked by Sarah Silverman at the MTV Movie Awards

The came the inevitable penis joke at Hilton's expense and the concern that Paris may have to need some dental work done after the jail stint. The usually confident and happy Hilton looked anything but happy when the camera panned to her following Silverman's remark. Jack Nicholson loved it though.



"Why do I feel dirty," Silverman deadpanned. Star Magazine reports that Hilton appeared awkward and uncomfortable following Silverman's jokes. Earlier in the evening Paris told reporters on the red carpet, "I'm really scared but I'm ready to face my sentence. Even though this is a really hard time, I have my family, my friends and my fans to support me, and that's really helpful."

Michael K has the video here. Paris should have known she would be teased and mocked at the show. She should have just laughed it off.

PARIS GOES TO JAIL !!


WHAT A BUNCH OF BULLSH!T

Paris Hilton Gets 45 Days in Jail



Paris Hilton has successfully completed her first night at a US jail, reports says.

Celebrity socialite Paris Hilton went from a red-carpeted Hollywood soiree to a spartan Los Angeles prison cell early on Monday, surrendering ahead of schedule for a minimum 23-day incarceration.

Hilton, 26, an heir to her family's hotel fortune, surrendered to police at the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles late on Sunday in an attempt to foil the crush of media attention, a spokeswoman with the county sheriff's office, Maribel Rizo, said.

Hilton was accompanied by her mother, her younger sister Nicky, and her lawyer Richard Hutton.

Police then drove her to the Century Regional Detention Facility, the county women's jail in the Los Angeles suburb of Lynwood, about 25 km from her mansion in the Hollywood foothills.

A judge sentenced Hilton to 45 days for violating the terms of her probation, after being arrested for driving with a suspended licence.

Police had pulled the heiress over in February while she was on probation for a previous drink-driving violation.

Although sentenced to serve 45 days, she could be released after 23 days for good behaviour, court officials said.

Just ahead of checking in to jail Hilton made a glittering red-carpet appearance wearing a black strapless dress at the MTV Music Awards. She was the centre of attention, with event hosts cracking jokes about her difficulties.

The roundabout route to prison one day earlier than expected was designed to throw off the army of paparazzi camped out in front of the women's jail, creating a potential safety hazard, police said.

Hilton "was cooperative during the (booking) process, which included being fingerprinted, photographed, medically screened," said Sergeant Diane Hecht of the Los Angeles Sheriff Department.

The celebrity prisoner was "issued jail clothing, an orange top and pants, and personal hygiene items", then escorted to her cell about 1am on Monday (1800 AEST), he said.

In a change from earlier plans, Hilton will be in solitary confinement 23 hours a day and "segregated in a special housing unit from the general population", Hecht said.

Hilton will be allowed to spend an hour a day outside the cell to shower, use the jail telephone and watch television, he said.

"Although I am scared, I am ready to begin my jail sentence," Hilton said earlier in a statement. "During the past few weeks, I have had a lot of time to think and have come to realise I made some mistakes.

"This is an important point in my life and I need to take responsibility for my actions. In the future, I plan on taking more of an active role in the decisions I make," said Hilton.

A high-school dropout, Hilton was first noticed as a model represented by property tycoon Donald Trump's agency, then rapidly acquired a reputation as a party girl alongside sister Nicky.

But it was the 2003 release of an internet home sex video featuring her and then boyfriend Rick Salomon which made her permanent tabloid material.

Hilton starred with Nicole Richie in the reality television show, The Simple Life.

Hilton has also appeared in supporting roles in some Hollywood films such as Nine Lives, Raising Helen, The Hillz, and House of Wax.

Last year, she released a music album called Paris, which peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 chart for a week and then dropped out of sight.

In her private life, she has been engaged to male model Jason Shaw and Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, but both relationships ended in break-ups. She also dated Stavros Niarchos, the scion of another Greek shipping family.

IS PARIS IS GOING TO JAIL ?



Thursday, May 10, 2007
Like a dutiful mom, Kathy Hilton goes to bat defending wayward Paris
Media-savvy mother describes her jail-bound daughter as eccentric.
By SANDY COHEN
The Associated Press
The Hilton who made the most noise in and out of court last week wasn't named Paris.

Kathy Hilton, mother of the notorious party girl, became a media magnet herself at her daughter's probation-violation hearing. She laughed in the courtroom when a city prosecutor argued that Paris deserved jail time. When a judge ordered the 26-year-old Paris to serve 45 days in county jail, Kathy Hilton blurted out: "May I have your autograph?"

She also shared her feelings with reporters outside: "This is pathetic and disgusting, a waste of taxpayer money with all this nonsense. This is a joke."

While her media exposure doesn't rival that of her famous daughter, Hilton is no stranger to the spotlight.

She was a guest star on "Happy Days" in 1977 and appeared on "The Rockford Files" in '78. She hosted a program on QVC and starred in her own NBC reality show in 2005, "I Want to Be a Hilton," in which contestants competed for a chance to live like a socialite for a year.

Accompanying her adult daughter to court made Hilton a public face again. She was likely on hand out of typical parental concern, said Dorian Traube, a professor of social work at the University of Southern California.

"Any time your kids stumble, you question yourself as a parent," she said. "She has one daughter that's done really well and another that keeps stumbling in the public eye. For a family that's very prominent, it's probably quite humiliating."

While it is common for families to come and show support in high-profile court cases, Hilton's outspoken behavior during and after the session was a little unusual, Traube said.

"Kathy Hilton acted as if her daughter was a minor in the way she had to give a statement," Traube said. "Not only is she enabling Paris' behavior, she's perpetuating it."

Kathy Hilton was 19 when she gave birth to Paris in 1981, two years after marrying Rick Hilton, a real estate developer and an heir to the Hilton Hotel fortune. The couple has another daughter, Nicky, and two sons, Barron and Conrad.

Hilton has publicly defended Paris before, calling her vulnerable.

"She's eccentric, she's herself and she never hurts anybody," she told the London newspaper The Guardian in December 2005. "It upsets me that she gets taken advantage of, but I think we've all learned to deal with it."

Hilton compared her daughter to Bambi in a 2005 interview with The Times of London.

"She's like a little deer," she said.

When a homemade sex tape featuring Paris Hilton surfaced, Hilton characterized her daughter as a victim.

"Well, that was very painful. Very painful. Very painful," she told Newsweek in June 2005. "But it taught me that I really can't trust everybody."

Kathy Hilton's spokeswoman did not return calls for comment. Meanwhile, Paris Hilton rehired her publicist, Elliot Mintz, late Monday. They had parted ways over the weekend after her court appearance, during which Mintz testified that he gave her erroneous advice about the status of her suspended driver's license.

"She continues to be my client," he said Tuesday. "I'm delighted and honored to represent Paris. I think the world of her."

Man has arm reattached after croc bites it off



The severed lower left arm of a Taiwanese veterinarian is seen in the jaws of a crocodile, Wednesday, April 11, 2007, at the Shoushan Zoo, near Taipei, Taiwan.


Croc Attacks

Arm rushed to hospital



TAIPEI, Taiwan A zoo worker had his forearm reattached Thursday after his colleagues recovered the severed limb from the mouth of a 440-pound Nile crocodile, an official said.

The crocodile severed Chang Po-yu’s forearm on Wednesday at the Shaoshan Zoo in the southern city of Kaohsiung when the veterinarian tried to retrieve a tranquilizer dart from the reptile’s hide, zoo officials said.

The Liberty Times newspaper said Chang failed to notice the crocodile was not fully anesthetized when he stuck his arm through an iron rail to medicate it.

As Chang was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday, a zoo worker shot two bullets at the crocodile’s neck to retrieve the forearm, said Chen Po-tsun, a zoo official.

“The crocodile was unharmed as we didn’t find any bullet holes on its hide,” Chen said. “It probably was shocked and opened its mouth to let go of the limb.”


The 17-year-old reptile is one of a pair of Nile crocodiles kept by the Kaohsiung zoo. The crocodile is listed as an endangered species, and is rapidly disappearing from its native African habitat.

Chen said the zoo purchased the crocodile from a local resident who had kept it as a pe

Joe Francis, 34, the multi-millionaire founder of Girls Gone Wild films, was arrested


Girls Gone Wild founder in federal custody
Joe Francis surrendered to marshals, ordered held without bond

Joe Francis, 34, the multi-millionaire founder of Girls Gone Wild films, was arrested on contempt of court charges after lawyers for seven women complained he shouted obscenities and threatened them during civil suit settlement negotiations.




PENSACOLA, Fla. - The founder of the “Girls Gone Wild” video empire was taken into custody by federal marshals early Tuesday to face a contempt of court citation after initially defying a federal judge.

Joe Francis was booked into the Bay County Jail, said Ruth Sasser, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office. “His attorneys continue to work toward a settlement,” Ronn Torossian, a Francis spokesman, said in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press.

Francis, 34, makes an estimated $29 million a year from videos of young women exposing their breasts and in other sexually provocative situations.


He appeared Tuesday afternoon before federal Magistrate Larry A. Bodiford, who ordered him held without bail. Torossian said Francis would likely be held until at least Thursday, when he is scheduled to appear before U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak, the judge who issued the contempt citation.

He drew the contempt citation during negotiations in a civil lawsuit brought by seven women who were underage when they were filmed by his company on Panama City Beach during spring break in 2003.


Lawyers for the women told Smoak that Francis became enraged during the settlement talks, shouting obscenities at the lawyers and threatening to “bury them.” Smoak ordered Francis to settle the case or go to jail for his behavior.

Negotiations continued with the help of a mediator, but broke down Thursday, and Smoak issued a contempt of court warrant.

Francis initially refused to surrender and called Smoak “a judge gone wild.”

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta refused to let him remain free pending an appeal.

THAT'S HOT !



Birkhead the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter



Larry Birkhead got the news he's been waiting months for Tuesday — he's Dannielynn's dad.





Baby's guardian to take custody of Anna Nicole Smith's body







Another mystery in the Anna Nicole Smith saga has been solved: Photographer Larry Birkhead is the biological father of Smith's 7-month-old daughter, Dannielynn, experts announced today.
Birkhead was "determined to be the father based on DNA testing" Michael Baird, of the DNA Diagnostics Center in Fairfield, Ohio, told reporters. "I told you so," a teary Birkhead said, adding, "it's been a long road."



The Bahamian judge told reporters outside the courthouse that a custody hearing is scheduled for Friday.

The child has been living with Smith's longtime companion, Howard K. Stern, who is listed on the birth certificate as Dannielynn's father. Monday, Stern withdrew his last-ditch effort to block paternity test results from being introduced as evidence. Before the hearing, Stern's attorney told the Associated Press that Stern and Birkhead would cooperate in the transition of Dannielynn to Birkhead's custody if test results proved the photographer is the father.


Birkhead also gave signs the men would work together. "The thing we both want to do is what's best for Dannielynn," Birkhead told Access Hollywood. "And it does not do Dannielynn justice for her name to be out there and all these fights. … We both just agreed that there would be no fights, you know, after the results are revealed."

Birkhead filed suit in Los Angeles and the Bahamas last October, weeks after Dannielynn's birth, claiming he was her father and contesting the birth certificate. Legal squabbling turned vitriolic after Smith's death Feb. 8 in Florida. Medical examiners concluded the death was an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.

Stern, Birkhead and Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, were all involved in hearings to determine custody of Dannielynn as well as guardianship of Smith's body. As Smith's only child, Dannielynn could inherit the bulk of the former pinup's estate. Smith, who was married to oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall, had been involved in decade-long legal battle with Marshall's heirs over the estimated $500 million fortune.

But while the paternity issue has been resolved, a new legal twist has been added to the Smith saga this week. Stern hired Atlanta-based powerhouse law firm Powell Goldstein LLP to fight media speculation that Stern was involved in Smith's death or in the death of Smith's son, Daniel. Daniel was 20 when he died of an accidental drug overdose while visiting his mother in the Bahamas in September. An inquest into Daniel's death has been put on hold.

"Accusations that Mr. Stern is guilty of murder have been recklessly and maliciously invented," L. Lin Wood said in a Monday statement that threatened to file lawsuits against media outlets that make "false attacks on (Stern's) reputation." Wood has represented Richard Jewell, John and Patsy Ramsey, and former congressman Gary Condit. "Stern is an innocent individual who has never been charged with any crime but finds himself on trial in the media. … The nightly television, tabloid and Internet trial of Mr. Stern in the court of public opinion based on sensational lies, speculation, rumor and gossip is over."

Woody Harrelson’s father dies in prison





Woody Harrelson’s father dies in prison
Charles Harrelson, 69, found dead in cell at Supermax federal facility


Charles Harrelson was the convicted hired assassin of San Antonio federal judge John Wood and the father of actor Woody Harrelson.



DENVER - Actor Woody Harrelson’s father, Charles Harrelson, died of a heart attack in the Supermax federal prison where he was serving two life sentences for the murder of a federal judge, officials said Wednesday.

Charles Harrelson, 69, was found unresponsive in his cell on the morning of March 15, said Felicia Ponce, a Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman in Washington.

Fremont County Coroner Dorothy Twellman said an autopsy showed Harrelson had severe coronary artery disease. She said he probably died in his sleep. “It appears it was very sudden.”



Charles Harrelson was convicted of murder in the May 29, 1979, slaying of U.S. District Judge John Wood Jr. outside his San Antonio, Texas, home. Prosecutors said a drug dealer hired him to kill Wood because he did not want the judge to preside at his upcoming trial.

Charles Harrelson denied the killing, saying he was in Dallas, 270 miles away, at the time.

Wood, known as “Maximum John” for the sentences he gave in drug cases, was the first federal judge to be killed in the 20th century.

Charles Harrelson was transferred to Supermax, the highest-security federal prison, after attempting to break out of an Atlanta federal prison in 1995. Other inmates at Supermax, about 90 miles south of Denver, include Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski, Oklahoma City bombing coconspirator Terry Nichols and Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph.





His son got his start in acting as Woody the bartender on “Cheers” beginning in 1985 and went on to star in films including “Natural Born Killers,” “White Men Can’t Jump” and “The People vs. Larry Flynt.”

Woody Harrelson’s publicist did not immediately return a call seeking comment Wednesday.

The actor was just 7 when his father was first sent to prison, for murdering a Texas businessman. He was in college when his father was convicted of the judge’s assassination.

Carbonneau gives nod to Halak in net













Jaroslav Halak





MONTREAL (CP) - Hot rookie Jaroslav Halak will be in the Montreal Canadiens net until he loses a game, coach Guy Carbonneau said Thursday.

Halak, the starter in each of Montreal's five consecutive victories, will be in goal again on Friday night against the Senators in Ottawa.

''If he wins, he'll be in there Saturday night (at home against Buffalo) and if he wins again, he'll be there Tuesday night (at home against Boston),'' Carbonneau said.

''If he loses? I haven't figured that out yet.''

Carbonneau seemed to step back somewhat from a statement earlier this week that No. 1 goalie Cristobal Huet may return from a hamstring injury in one of the weekend games.





But it is still possible. Huet was to see a doctor on Friday, hoping to get clearance to return. The French goaltender has been out since he tore his left hamstring during a Feb. 14 game against New Jersey.

In Huet's favour is that he has earned at least one point (three wins and two extra-time losses) in five starts against the Sabres this season.

Carbonneau wants to get Huet in a game or two to get his reflexes back before the playoffs, but the Canadiens are in a six-team battle for the last three Eastern Conference spots and right now are riding Halak's hot hand.

''Cristobal did the job for us last year,'' Carbonneau said. ''If the opportunity is there to put him in the net, we will, but as long as Halak is winning, it's not urgent.''

The Canadiens also have goaltenders David Aebischer and Michael Leighton on hand, although neither is expected to see action any time soon.

Halak, 21, has been solid through the Canadiens winning streak, allowing only 10 goals in five games to improve to 8-4-0 since he was called up from AHL Hamilton when Huet got hurt.

Montreal is 3-3-1 against the Senators this season, but lost the last two in back-to-back games in early February.

''They're a team that likes to attack and force things,'' said Carbonneau. ''They'll bring three in to forecheck and their defence will pinch and that's when you have to catch them.

''That's what we've been doing lately - taking advantage of two-on-ones and three-on-twos.''

Another bright spot of late for the Canadiens has been their forward lines, which have all been producing.

Alex Kovalev, who has two goals in each of the last two games, is dangerous on a trio with rookies Guillaume Latendresse and Maxim Lapierre, but more impressive has been Tomas Plekanec between Chris Higgins and rookie Andrei Kostitsyn.

''When we weren't winning earlier, maybe we were relying on one line too much,'' said Higgins. ''Now all our lines are producing and that makes it easier to win.

''It makes it tougher for the opposition to play against us because they usually have one defensive line to play against your big line, so it's worked out well for us.''

Plekanec has goals in each of his last three games to reach 20 for the season, a career high. Kostitsyn has 11 points in 13 games since he was called up on Feb. 22.

''I think he's got his confidence now,'' Higgins said of Kostitsyn, a fine skater and passer. ''He knows his role and he's comfortable playing with Tomas and I.

''We like getting him the puck because he's a pretty skilled player.''

Celbutante Paris Hilton could face up to 90 days in jail if a judge finds she violated her probation.















LOS ANGELES — City prosecutors said Thursday they will ask a judge to revoke Paris Hilton's probation in a reckless driving case, a move that could lead to a jail term.
The decision followed an investigation into whether the hotel heiress and reality star violated terms of her probation by driving last month with a suspended license.

"We're confident we have sufficient evidence to prove that her license was suspended and that she had knowledge of that suspension," said Nick Velasquez, a spokesman for the city attorney's office. He declined to elaborate on the evidence, citing an ongoing investigation.





Hilton could face up to 90 days in jail if a judge finds she violated her probation, Velasquez said. A hearing was scheduled for April 17.

In January, Hilton pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.




Hilton was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard on Feb. 28. Police said they saw her blue Bentley Continental GTC speeding with its headlights off. She was ticketed for misdemeanor driving with a suspended license.

Hilton's spokesman Elliot Mintz said at the time that she hadn't been aware that her license was suspended.

Mintz did not immediately return a call seeking comment Thursday.

Eminem, ex-wife call truce






MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. Eminem and Kim Mathers agreed Monday not to criticize each other in public for the sake of their daughter.

The decision was made following a court hearing in which the 34-year-old rap superstar and his ex-wife agreed that insulting each other could prove harmful to their 11-year-old daughter, Hailie.

Eminem filed a motion in Macomb County Circuit Court earlier this month that sought to prevent Mathers from making "derogatory, disparaging, inflammatory and otherwise negative comments" about him in the media.

Mathers, who has twice married and divorced the rapper, blasted Eminem in recent TV and radio interviews, including one on a Detroit radio station in which she said he was unfaithful and uncaring - and disparaged his sexual prowess.

She attended the hearing and a closed-door meeting beforehand in the chambers of Friend of the Court Referee David Elias. Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, wasn't in court, but spoke by telephone in Elias' chambers.

The two sides agreed to the deal, which was announced at the court hearing.


"We're happy the court was able to bring this matter to a just and equitable resolution," Eminem's lawyer, Harvey Hauer, said outside the courtroom.

Michael J. Smith, Mathers' attorney, said the decision was reached "for the full benefit of the child."

Smith said Eminem and Mathers have "to attempt to promote a good relationship" and "can't talk bad about each other to the child."

However, Smith said the order doesn't prohibit Eminem from performing songs in which he is critical of his former wife.

Eminem has assailed Mathers with his lyrics.

The couple married in 1999, divorced in 2001, remarried in January 2006 and separated three months later. Their second divorce was finalized in December.

Their daughter, Hailie, was born in 1996.

Eminem has won nine Grammy Awards, including best rap album for "The Slim Shady LP," "The Marshall Mathers LP" and "The Eminem Show." He won an Oscar for the song "Lose Yourself" from the hit 2002 film "8 Mile."
