Brigitte Nielsen to marry again

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-06-27 - 14:37:54

Danish actress and model Brigitte Nielsen is set to marry a man fifteen years her junior early next month.

The ceremony will take place at a hotel in Malta on July 8th, and will be the star's fifth wedding.

Nielsen's future husband is Mattia Dessi, 28, an Italian bartender that the actress met at a restaurant in April 2004. The couple got married on a beach in the Caribbean in March 2005, but the union was declared invalid as Nielsen was still technically married to her previous husband Raoul Meyer.

According to the Malta, millionaire Ivana Trump will act as a witness at the wedding, and Italian fashion designer Angela Missoni is rumoured to have designed Nielsen's wedding dress.

The actress's most famous marriage was to her Rocky co-star Sylvester Stallone in December 1985, which lasted less than two years.

Babs Bunny Arrested In Brooklyn

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-06-27 - 14:23:28

Bad Boy rapper Babs of Making The Band fame was arrested early Saturday (June 24) after an altercation at a Brooklyn, N.Y., house party.

According to representatives, Babs spent the night in jail after an incident involving two unidentified women. One woman allegedly believed Babs had stolen her former lover.

The two women showed up at the rapper's home and accused her of dancing and flirting with one woman's boyfriend, according to Babs' publicist.

The women eventually left because Babs did not go outside at that moment, but she later showed up at the apartment of one of the women, with two friends, the publicist said.

The woman called the police and accused someone of keying and scratching her car. When the cops showed up, she told them Babs had threatened her.

"They threatened not only me but my family and anyone that knows me knows I don't play when it comes to my family," Babs told AllHipHop.com in a statement released by her representative Alyse Feldman, who was also present at the party.

A restraining order was issued against Babs, who spent the night in a local jail and was ordered to stay 100 feet away from the woman.

"The woman knew Babs was the one wearing the red hat so of course she is going to say it was her," Feldman added. "She wants Babs to pay for supposedly trying to steal her boyfriend. The charges are absolutely ridiculous!"

Babs is slated to make an appearance in a Brooklyn court this morning to answer the charges.

Victoria Beckham's World Cup wieght loss

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-06-27 - 14:18:56

Victoria Beckham reportedly lost 6lbs from her already skinny frame before flying to Germany for the World Cup.

The brunette - who is married to football ace David Beckham - is said to have eaten only sushi and pineapple in a bid to shed almost half a stone in time to watch her husband play.

The slim star's weight loss has sparked fears for her health.

A source from the hotel where Victoria is staying told Britain's The People newspaper: "Victoria's wasting away and there is nothing we can do about it."

Another source said the former Spice Girl is conscious of her eating habits and often skips meals with the other partners of the England football team.

The insider said: "She hates people looking at her eating and probably feels uncomfortable because she knows people are always talking about her weight."

"While the girls order chips and burgers whenever they get the munchies in the hotel, Victoria sticks to green vegetables, raw fish and fruit."

The source added: "Victoria even admitted she'd lost 6lbs before even flying over."

another maid sues naomi campbell

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-06-27 - 14:06:41

Naomi Campbell is being accused of less-than-model behavior again, this time by another of her maids who claims the supermodel hit her.

In a terse single-sheet filing in Manhattan's state Supreme Court, Gaby Gibson accused Campbell of ''personal injuries,'' ''employment discrimination,'' ''civil assault,'' ''civil battery'' and other complaints.

Gibson, who filed the lawsuit on Monday, the eve of a Manhattan Criminal Court appearance by Campbell on charges of assaulting another maid, asks for ''actual, compensatory and punitive'' damages without specifying an amount.

The court document does not detail acts by Campbell, but in a published interview in April, Gibson said the catwalker hit her on Jan. 17, called her names and threatened to have her arrested. Gibson told the New York Post that Campbell got upset after being unable to find a specific pair of jeans.

Gibson's lawyer, Thomas D. Shanahan, did not immediately return calls for comment.

Campbell is due in court Tuesday on a similar charge that stemmed from a similar situation -- the supermodel couldn't find a pair of jeans.

In that incident, Campbell is charged with assault for allegedly hitting Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with a cell phone in the model's Manhattan apartment. Campbell allegedly accused Scolavino of stealing the missing jeans.

A British citizen, Campbell faces up to seven years in prison and deportation if convicted on that charge.

That incident is not the first time Campbell, 35, was accused of using a phone in a violent way. In 2003, the supermodel was sued by a former assistant who said Campbell threw a phone at her during a tantrum two years earlier.

In August 2004, in the same apartment, Campbell and yet another maid battled it out, with the worker claiming the supermodel slapped her across the face. Campbell accused maid Millicent Burton of instigating the fight.

Campbell pleaded guilty in Toronto to an assault charge for beating another assistant while making a film in Canada in 1998.

Neither Campbell's lawyer nor her publicist responded immediately to requests for comment.

Campbell was discovered at age 15 and launched a career that landed her in magazines worldwide -- including the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Campbell's high-profile lifestyle has included appearances in music videos by George Michael and Jay-Z and a close friendship with Nelson Mandela.

axl rose drunk and disorderly, bites security guard

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-06-27 - 13:55:39

Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose was arrested in Stockholm early Tuesday after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg outside his hotel, police said.

Rose — who performed in the Swedish capital on Monday evening — was being held on suspicion of attacking and threatening the guard, as well as causing damage to the Berns Hotel where the alleged scuffle took place, police spokeswoman Towe Hagg said.

Hagg told The Associated Press that Rose was intoxicated during the confrontation, which broke out around 8 a.m., and would face questioning after he sobers up.

"He was deemed too intoxicated to be questioned right away," she said.

A prosecutor will then decide whether to press charges against him, Hagg also said.

It was unclear what caused the fight, but Swedish tabloids said the guard tried to intervene when Rose started arguing with a woman in the hotel lobby.

Fredrik Nylen, one of the police officers who helped arrest Rose, was quoted by the daily Aftonbladet Web site as saying that the singer acted aggressively toward police and had to be "handcuffed and restrained" in the hotel.

"He kept a high profile, so to speak," Nylen was quoted as saying.

Guns N' Roses played a concert in Stockholm's Globe Arena Monday night, and had been partying at a well-known night club before the scuffle, Aftonbladet said.
