The fantasy of Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek being lovers might dwell in the mind of every mortal in Hayek rsquo;s native Mexico, but they seem to have no effect on the ldquo;Vanilla Sky rdquo; actress.
Instead of denying the gossips Cruz is fanning them, and claims she knows why those lesbian rumours refuse to die. She insists that it rsquo;s all just a publicity stunt, which she herself has fomented by acting extra cozy with her Mexican friend.
Penelope, who has long been the subject of speculation about her sexuality, admits she evidently grabbed Salma rsquo;s behind at a press conference while they were promoting their film Banditas.
ldquo;I grabbed Salma rsquo;s ass just to keep things moving, because everyone was a little slow, rdquo; Popsugar.com quoted Cruz as telling Australia rsquo;s Courier Mail while promoting her new film ldquo;Volver rdquo;.
And, of course, the energy changed when I did that, rdquo; she added.
This is totally gratuitous. We already knew that was off his rocker, and so I am not exactly surprised to learn that he's been via the internet.
Still, the fact that this is the sort of behavior expected from the writer/director/actor doesn't make it any less entertaining.
Apparently PayPal recently cut ties with Gallo, who had been using the site to sell clothing, posters, artwork and jewelry. When Gallo began marketing his own body and genetic material, the e-commerce site drew the line and .
"They are really fascists. They should breathe some death gas or something," the star of X-rated flick "Brown Bunny" told Page Six.Gallo isn't entirely self-obsessed and thoughtless. He did advise potential customers to take a gander at his sex scene with Chloe Sevigny in Brown Bunny so that they could be sure they'd be able to fully accomodate him.
...he says PayPal got squeamish at him offering himself to single women and lesbian couples for prices of $50,000-$200,000, and sperm samples for women who want to have his baby for $1 million.
"For them to say they have some sort of moral regard for their clients is incredible - they're a penny-pinching, conniving company," he fumed.
Gallo says he's switching to American Express, Visa and MasterCard, "just like all the good escort services use."
A PayPal rep defended cutting off Gallo, saying he violated its "policy against facilitating meetings for sexually oriented activities."
In all seriousness, though, Miss Lilly is a very lucky lady.
The home rented by the Lost star in Kailua, Hawaii, has been destroyed by a fire.
Eva rsquo;s rep, Cara Tripicchio, told People magazine: ldquo;Yes, it is unfortunately true that her home in Hawaii burned down this morning.
ldquo;Thankfully, Evangeline is safe as she was on the set already when it occurred. rdquo;
Cara added: ldquo;There is no official statement, and I have no further comment or information to provide at this time.
rdquo;
Honolulu Fire Captain Kenison Tejada said that his department received the alarm at 6:43 am Wednesday, and that crews reached the scene six minutes later.
He said: ldquo;When we arrived the house was fully engulfed.
ldquo;It was a complete loss.
Just the roof was still standing. rdquo;
.sort of right.
Flora is scheduled to give virgin birth to eight babies on Christmas Day this year.
Who's Flora? Well, she just so happens to be a komodo dragon living in England's Chester Zoo. But there's a catch?
in Flora's lifetime, she has never even been introduced to a male of the species, and therefor fertilized all of the eggs on her own. Other species have been known to do this, but this is only the second case in a komodo dragon (the first was mistaken as stored sperm from earlier encounters with males).
Kevin Buley of the Chester Zoo explained how, one day, komodo dragons maybe be socializing with the likes of inbred dregs everywhere:
"The genetics of self-fertilization in lizards means that all her hatchlings would have to be male.
These would grow up to mate with their own mother and therefore, within one generation, there would potentially be a population able to reproduce normally on the new island"
That would either lead to one hardcore case of inbreeding, or a species adept enough to repopulate itself anywhere it damn well chooses.
..
.genetic tests confirmed absolutely that Flora was both the mother and the father of the embryos. It completely blew us away because it (parthenogenesis) has never been seen in such a large .
While Britney Spears had everyone in her court when she was still living with Kevin Federline, her latest month long binge of flashing flesh and partying hearty have fetched her criticism from her fans.
The pop diva rsquo;s no underwear act and partying antics have transformed her from lsquo;little darling rsquo; to lsquo;most annoying rsquo; in what amounts to record time, reports Tittletattle.com.
In a poll conducted by Star magazine, the Toxic singer has been voted the Most Annoying Person of 2006, and has no peer among the top 50 list, to be published in the upcoming issue.
lsquo;Brit was quite the headline maker this year! But Brit doesn rsquo;t top our list because of her dubious child-care techniques or her umber annoying Matt Lauer interview.
Nope. The icing on the cake was her post K-Fed decision to make Paris Hilton her BFF and party without panties with such a vengeance that even Lindsay was jealous! rsquo; said the publication.
Others making the list include: Jessica Simpson, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Aniston, Pam Anderson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rosie O rsquo;Donnell and Matthew McConaughey. Bristol graffiti artist sold 1,000 limited edition prints of his black and white poster "Flag" out of Santa's Ghetto on Monday. Fans of the elusive artist camped out in front of the temporary gallery in London's West End, .
Artist Carlo Raffa, from Brighton, was the first in line to buy one of the prints.A number of the prints have surfaced on and a spokeswoman for the artist is urging re-sellers to donate any money earned off the prints, as Banksy donated all profits to perform cataract operations on kids in Bangladesh.
"I arrived at 11:30 pm with two friends and we slept in thermals wrapped in sleeping bags in the doorway. We were not the only ones," said the 33-year-old.
"I have been trying to get my hands on a Banksy for the last three years, so I didn't want to miss out." Banksy started out spray-painting walls and bridges with political messages and anti-war slogans.
One of his most recent pieces is of a man who bears a resemblance to Michael Jackson crouching at the doorway of a gingerbread cottage offering children candy.
The print for sale today was also satirical?a spoof of the famous photograph of US soldiers raising the Stars and Stripes at Iwo Jima. In Banksy's version, the figures are urban protesters, clambering on a wrecked car.
Mr Raffo said the event was only advertised on a chalkboard inside the shop, which is open for 23 days over Christmas.
He said: "Unfortunately, I was disappointed. It was machine-printed with no signature or number, which I thought was a bit of a mockery of all of his fans.I am probably going to sell mine on eBay.
The first 25 people in the queue got a free poster of the Tony Blair work, which I was happier with."
Although it's great to see this as a victory for consumers, I can't help but wonder about the next wave of DRM schemes."
The Donald owns Miss Universe. Hmmm..
.. That s an interesting investment choice.
..
Turns out that Miss Tara had a few drinks while she was in New York.
Oh, and she wasn t quite yet 21 years of age. This is a non-no for the Miss USA title, where the contestants are required to be squeaky clean.
But Donald came to the rescue and allowed her to keep the crown.
We will never know and should never question what arrangements might have been made in private to ensure this public outcome.
Some of you may recall Vanessa Williams, who lost her Miss America crown in 1984 in a very public scandal. Seems that she didn t always have clothes on when she was photographed.
Other contestants in the Miss (Whatever) pageants have been defrocked for dating too many guys. It s quite an interesting dilemna for the gals. They have to be the sexiest and most well-rounded (in terms of interests) personality on the catwalk, but they can t have ever been sexy or lived a well-rounded life.
If you were silly enough to miss , you allowed one of the best summer-package-tours to pass you by. Rarely does one tour make it so easy to become a violent, metal nerd for a few hours on a July afternoon; Slayer, Mastodon, Lamb of God and others crammed themselves into whatever venue would hold them and proceeded to tear it up.
Thankfully, understands the needs of the modern hessian (or at least they pretend to) and they're bringing the Unholy Alliance into your living room.
February 13th will see the release of the Unholy Alliance CD + DVD package, which captures the Vancouver date of the tour and will turn your apartment into a sweaty den of mosh as soon as your metal-geek buddies get a few beers in them.
In addition to footage of the aforementioned bands, you'll also get to see performances by and up-and-comers . Righteous.
The label folks were nice enough to share some preview clips, so enjoy.
While she threatened to sue Eddie Murphy when he questioned the paternity of their unborn child, the sensational pics of Mel B rsquo;s lsquo;mystery man rsquo; will perhaps do little to help her win her battle against the actor.
Photographs of scantily-clad Scary Spice frolicking in Hawaii on May 26 - just a few weeks before starting her fling with Eddie and almost instantly becoming pregnant - with her guy have been published in a British newspaper.
ldquo;Mel and this fella were all over each other and quite obviously a couple. They couldn rsquo;t keep their hands off each other, rdquo; the News Of The World quoted an eyewitness, as saying.
The Beverly Hills Cop actor reportedly hired a team of private detectives to follow his ex-girlfriend after becoming convinced she was cheating on him.
He allegedly dumped Mel after being handed another set of snaps last month, showing the singer reportedly enjoying an illicit date with the male friend in Los Angeles.
And the recently published images have reportedly further confirmed his suspicion.
ldquo;Everyone thought it was suspicious that Mel fell pregnant so quickly after getting together with Eddie.
Now he thinks the same. After seeing these photos he rsquo;s convinced he rsquo;s not the dad. And he won rsquo;t believe any different until DNA tests are carried out after the baby is born, rdquo; said a source close to multi-millionaire Eddie.
ldquo;As far as Eddie rsquo;s concerned this mystery man had as much chance of fathering the child as he did, rdquo; the source added.
Mel and Murphy started dating in June, but the Hollywood star cut all ties with the former Spice Girl earlier this month (Dec 05) and he rsquo;s now demanding a DNA test to determine whether he rsquo;s the father of her unborn baby.
SoftMaker, a German developer, recently released SoftMaker Office, a multi-platform office suite that excels in Microsoft Office compatibility, claims to be much leaner and faster than OpenOffice.org and works on many operating systems, down to PDAs." While SoftMaker certainly isn't new, it is nice to see them roll out a finished suite as opposed to one-off programs.
Apparently, those involved in the decision making for subsequent Bond films have decided that the next title song should suck too. Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" was not very good. Don't argue with me, you know it's true.
To my surprise, I liked the new Bond. I was worried that with the promise of action superceding charm in the new Bond, I wasn't going to like the new brand Sony was trying to sell. But I was hooked with that opening foot chase scene.
Sebastien Foucan, the master "free runner," was a total badass.
Still, the song was a total snooze, and it is likely the next one will be worse, if the rumors are true that to be tapped for the theme to Risico, Daniel Craig's second outing as Bond.
"The Killers have reached the perfect point in their career to do a Bond track.
They have the right sound, right look and a huge fanbase, making them the perfect choice," a 'source' told London paper The Sun.
Who wants to bet that the 'source' was Brandon Flowers?
