With a Louis Vuitton bag thrown over her shoulder, the always-stylish Rihanna was spotted arriving at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday afternoon (December 6).

15 Year Old Girl Charged With Shooting A Classmate

Kanye West Arrested for Assault on Photographer in Britain

Rap superstar Kanye West was arrested after an alleged run-in with a photographer outside a nightclub in Newcastle on Friday morning.

The rapper was arrested on suspicion of assault outside the Tup Tup Palace, reports Britain's Evening Chronicle.

"We can confirm that a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault following an incident at a Newcastle city center club in the early hours of this morning," said a Northumbria Police spokeswoman. "He was released without charge and no further action is being taken."

Earlier in the night, West performed a sold out show at the Metro Radio Arena as part of his Glow in the Dark world tour, according to People.com.

This is not the rap star's first clash with the paparazzi. In September, the "Love Lockdown" hitmaker was arrested for vandalism at the Los Angeles airport after allegedly damaging a photographer's camera.

Wildfire Sweeps Through California Near Oprah Winfrey's Home

A wildfire has destroyed more than 100 homes and injured 13 people in the Mediterranean-style coastal town of Montecito, California, which is home to celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey.

Firefighters struggled to get control of the raging fire, and said they had to work fast before the winds picked up. Evening winds known locally as "sundowners," gusting up to 70 mph from land to sea, pushed the fire with frightening speed Thursday, chewing up mansions, exploding eucalyptus trees and turning rolling hills into a glowing nightmare, The Associated Press is reporting.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in Santa Barbara County on Friday as residents waited anxiously for word of their homes. Many of them fled flames with just a few minutes' notice.

"We're going to have a very, very tough day today for firefighting and when the winds kick up this afternoon, we're going to have an incredibly challenging situation," said Santa Barbara City Fire Chief Ron Prince. "Control of this fire is not even in sight."
Authorities say the fire broke out just before 6 p.m. Thursday and spread to about 2,500 acres — nearly 4 square miles — by early Friday. It destroyed dozens of luxury homes and parts of a college campus in the tiny community of Montecito and an unknown number of homes in neighboring Santa Barbara. The cause was not immediately known. There was no estimate for containment for the fire, which more than 500 firefighters were battling.

The fire temporarily knocked out power to more than 20,000 homes in Santa Barbara, a city of about 90,000.

About 300 Westmont students fled to a gym where they spent the night sleeping on cots. Some stood in groups praying, others sobbed openly and comforted each other.

Montecito, a quiet enclave known for its balmy climate and charming Spanish colonial homes, has long attracted celebrities. Oprah Winfrey and Rob Lowe are among the homeowners there, though their homes had not been destroyed and neither was in the area Thursday night, their publicists told the AP.

Amy Winehouse’s Wild Night Out

There’s never a dull moment when Amy Winehouse is involved. And last night she was up to her usual randomness as she cavorted around North London.

The troubled “Rehab” singer paid a visit to her old flat in Camden in search of her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who was recently released early from prison.


Winehouse banged on the door of her old residence and screamed in vain for Blake, but there was sadly no reply. Amy’s gal pal Remi Nicole passed by in a friend’s car and stopped to make sure she was alright.

The “You Know I’m No Good” songstress eventually gave up and began on her way back home, signing an autograph for a fan in his own name. On the way she barged into a neighbor’s house before she entered her own home and spoke to the paparazzi via her intercom.

Oprah Winfrey Retiring and Ditching ABC for OWN Network?

Oprah Winfrey
is expanding her media empire and launching her own television network.

Discovery Communications, which is partnering with Winfrey in the OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) cable channel starting next year with distribution in 70 million U.S. homes, announced yesterday "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will cease to air via syndication on ABC by September 2011.

"The expectation is that after that, her show will go off of ABC in syndication and she will come to OWN," Discovery CEO David Zaslav said on the company's first earnings call as a public company. "We're talking now about what the presence will be and what kind of programming she would be involved in directly. But this is her Chapter 2, and building the OWN brand online and on-air is . . . a core mission for her."

Zaslav said Winfrey now is "very involved with us and focusing on what the channel is going to be, as well as developing Oprah.com."

The move is a blow both to CBS-TV Distribution, which syndicates the show, as well as to ABC, which airs it, reports the NY Post.

But Oprah's company, Harpo, said in a statement that although her production contract is up in 2011, "she has not made a final decision as to whether she will continue her show in syndication beyond that."

The deal between Winfrey and Discovery was originally described as a "cashless transaction" for a 50-50 joint venture that will be independent of other Discovery channel holdings. Winfrey will have full editorial control of OWN and oversee its programming - a sticking point when she was involved with Oxygen. Winfrey sold her Oxygen stake to NBC because its programming didn't reflect her creative vision, according to the Post.

Oprah favorites like decorator Nate Berkus and Dr. Mehmet Oz are expected to have shows on the new network, as is her best friend, Gayle King.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Reunion: Lisa and Kim Throwdown

If you missed last night's episode of Bravo's hit reality show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," we've got your Wednesday morning fix. As normal, the hour-long series consisted of the usual backbiting chatter between the ladies, with Lisa Wu Hartwell being the exception.

Hartwell has managed to steer clear of any drama on the show, but the mother of three says she was pushed past her limit by costar Kim Zolciak during the recent taping of the reunion show.

"I’ve been extremely diplomatic and there are horrible things I could have said but I have chosen not to and still do," Wu Hartwell tells Essence.com. "When you come after my integrity or my family, then you’re going to see a different person."

Lisa says viewers will likely be taken aback by her sudden unleash of emotion on the reunion show, which is scheduled to air Nov. 25.

"People will be surprised because I was surprised and somewhat embarrassed myself," she says. "But I’m human and you have to let people know that they can’t just say whatever they want to you."

Wu Hartwell says the season – also featuring co-stars Sheree, NeNe and DeShawn, was a true eye-opener.

"I was naïve coming in and I’ve learned some people just have ill intentions," she says, "so I will deal with each individual accordingly. But people need to know that yes, I’m a businesswoman but I’m also a sparring woman!"

And she means it literally. "I have a brown belt, one belt away from a black belt in Kajukenbo," she adds. "That’s a combination of Karate, Judo, Kimbo, Chinese boxing and Kung Fu."

Amy Winehouse: Care for Some Cheese?

In the ongoing bizarre life of Amy Winehouse, this morning the troubled singer was spotted sporting a new curly hairdo as she stepped out of her North London home to borrow a paparazzo’s mobile phone.

Amy Winehouse’s Trip to the Pub

With her traveling partner/beau Chris Brown nowhere to be seen, Rihanna moved as quickly as possible through the terminal - failing to acknowledge lined-up fans.

Tabloids tell that Rihanna’s R&B star boyfriend reportedly splashed out $1000 on sexy undergarments for his “Umbrella” singing gal on a recent shopping spree.

An onlooker tells The Sun, “Chris was at top Sydney store Ariane Lingerie and purchased a selection of saucy holiday-related items.”

R&B singer
Kelis is the next victim of a sex tape scandal. The man alleged to have filmed her naked has confirmed he once slept with the star.

New York radio host Wendy Williams first sparked rumors of a tape, claiming on her show that she has a copy of the explicit footage. Other sources claim it shows a man - identified as rapper/songwriter Infared - filming Kelis as she slept after they had a sexual encounter.

Jay-Z and Diddy Told to 'Stay Away' From Obama Rally

Unfortunately, some of Barack Obama's biggest backers won't be in attendance tonight for his historical celebratory meeting. The Obama campaign has reportedly asked some of his famous supporters to stay away from his rally Tuesday night in Chicago’s Grant Park, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Although the campaign is reportedly grateful for the high-profile support, several prominent celebs have reportedly been asked "politely but very firmly" to skip the rally and focus on attending the Obama inauguration in January, should that occur, as reported by MTV.com.

An Obama insider reportedly told the newspaper’s Bill Zwecker that Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins and Ben Affleck were among those asked to stay away from tonight’s festivities.

"There really only needs to be one star in Grant Park, and that’s Barack," the insider reportedly said. "There will be plenty of time for a new President Obama to be surrounded by famous fans, all hopeful about a new administration."

However, the paper reported that early Obama supporter Oprah Winfrey is confirmed to make an appearance at the rally in Grant Park. It is also expected that Winfrey will be with Obama as well as his family and inner circle throughout the night at their hotel in Chicago.

As the paper said, "No one says no to Oprah!"

Barack Obama Wins Presidency

In an extraordinary moment in America's history, Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has won the 2008 presidential election and will become the 44th president of the United States and the country's first African-American leader.

"Because of what we did on this day, in this election, in this defining moment, change has come to America," Obama told 125,000 supporters gathered in Chicago's Grant Park to celebrate his victory.

"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer," he added.

"A new dawn of American leadership is at hand," Obama said.

Obama's victory comes on the strength of projected wins in battleground states that went to President George W. Bush four years ago - among them Ohio, Florida, Virginia, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and Iowa - as well as a victory in Pennsylvania, a state that John McCain had hoped to turn blue to buoy his bid for an upset victory.

Lindsay Lohan Makes Her Political Picks

With Samantha Ronson nowhere to be seen, Lindsay Lohan was all smiles as she voted in the general election in Los Angeles on Tuesday (November 4).

Dressed casually in knee-high boots and her signature leggings, LiLo smiled for the cameras as she exited the polling station after her ten minute voting session.


As previously reported by Gossip Girls, the “Mean Girls” starlet hit up her MySpace Celebrity blog last night, writing, “Sorry I haven’t blogged in a minute. I’ve been traveling and trying to catch up on sleep! I thought it was important to just put a message out there tonight for anyone that is on MySpace at the moment.”

She continued, “So, here goes.. I cannot say how important it is for everyone to get out there and vote tomorrow… The future of our country depends on it. Just one vote can make such a difference… Vote - because your thoughts are worth it..VOTE - because YOU can make this country a better place… VOTE - because you can.”

She also urged fans to “vote no” on two pieces of California legislature - Proposition 4 (which would require doctors to notify a parent/guardian before performing an abortion on an underage girl) and Proposition 8 (which would end marriage rights for gay couples).

Hilary and Haylie Duff: Election Day Outing

Putting her best fashion foot forward on this historic election day, Hilary Duff was spotted out and about with her sister Haylie in Los Angeles, California this afternoon (November 4).

The “War, Inc.” cutie was turning heads left and right as she ran errands in a sexy yellow blouse teamed with a high-waisted black miniskirt and black heels. And she proudly displayed an “I’ve Voted” sticker on her shirt.

Over the weekend, Miss Duff and her boyfriend Mike Comrie made the most of the Halloween holiday by dressing up as Brangelina - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Up next for Hilary is a greatest hits record titled “Best of Hilary Duff” scheduled to hit stores November 11th. She just released the video for her new single “Reach Out.”

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson Breakup!!

Lindsay Lohan is tired of pretending that she's a lesbian. Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have been fighting non-stop. Samantha doesn't know what to do as she quietly ignores Lindsay while she explodes on a train ride to Washington.


Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson were taking a train to Washington on Thursday when things got stickier than Sam's fingers when she's pleasuring Linds during her time of the month.

Lindsay was complaining about her staff and her girlfriend. Linds told Samantha,

"I do what's good for you, not what's best for both of us."

Then Linds kept bitching.

Lohan was "whining incessantly and Samantha was trying to deflect it. When Lindsay would get up, Samantha would sigh and put her sweatshirt hood back up." At one point, it escalated to Lohan telling Ronson, "Don't (bleeping) lie to me!"

I expected lezzies to have better lines than 'don't effing lie to me.' So disappointed.

Lindsay has been showing up at event after event with her crutch Samantha. Rumors have been swirling that the new Ellen Degeneres and Anne Heche are on the rocks. Sounds like that train wasn't headed to Washington, but to Splitsville instead. Hahahahaha!

Lindsay Lohan: Home, Sweet Home

Following a brief stint in New York City, Lindsay Lohan arrived back home in Los Angeles yesterday, spotted leaving LAX International Airport via chauffeured car.

The “Mean Girls” actress was traveling with girlfriend Samantha Ronson, though they made separate exits from the airport to avoid being photographed together.

And LiLo couldn’t wait to light up her cigarette after the long transcontinental flight as she made her way out of the terminal, lighter in-hand.

As previously reported by the Gossip Girls, the future of Miss Lohan’s acting career is largely in question, due to her truncated role on “Ugly Betty” and the fact that she simply has nothing on the horizon.

An insider told press, “It’s over for Lindsay, she’s got no film work, and after this [’Ugly Betty’ news], she’s not going to land TV jobs. I hear she’s even tried to get on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and can’t.”

Jennifer Hudson’s Slain Family Members Remembered

It was a somber occasion yesterday as friends and family of Jennifer Hudson mourned the loss of her mother Darnell Donerson, as well as her brother Jason Hudson, and 7-year-old nephew Julian Hudson.

The public memorial service was held at the Pleasant Gift Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago, Il, and a bevy of guests turned out to pay their respects.

Julian’s second grade teacher, Carmen Williams (along with three of her students) gave a loving eulogy about her former student, making reference to his charm and charisma. She remembered, “Julian was a role model, an academic whiz and a best friend. You could look into his eyes and you knew he always had the right answer.”

Reverend Quentin Washington, a relative of the Hudson family, gave a heartwarming speech, comforting his family with the thought that Darnell, Jason, and Julian are all in a better place now. “They are all in Heaven having a ‘hallelujah good time. Their lives … were not in vain. Their legacies live on.”

Gwen Stefani: Out with Zuma and Kingston

Tending to her motherly duties, Gwen Stefani was spotted out and about in Los Angeles yesterday with her sons Kingston and Zuma, as well as her brother Todd and his wife Jen.

The “Hella Good” songstress had her hands full as she frolicked around a local LA park with the youngsters, playing a game of “Ring-around-the-Rosie” and laughing all the while.

Gwen also stopped into Toys R Us in Los Feliz to pick up a few items for her growing boys. And she looked stylish in a black top underneath a long grey coat with slim fit jeans and knee-high black wellington boots.

And no Sunday afternoon would be complete without a tasty lunch out - the whole Stefani crew headed over to their local neighborhood Mexican restaurant El Conquistador on Sunset Boulevard to satisfy their collective appetite.

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush: Halloween Glamour

Continuing on with a schedule that has consisted of one event after another, it comes as little surprise that Kim Kardashian was spotted back on the red carpet last night for Halloween (October 31).

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” starlet looked oh-so-fine in glammed up roaring 20’s costume as she arrived at for the PUR Jeans party held at STK.

Joining Kim for the night’s festivities was her studly-dressed New Orleans Saints running back beau Reggie Bush, as well as her seductive cop sister Khloe - who just returned from a trip to Mexico.

The night before, Kim threw a Halloween party at the Hotel Sofitel in Los Angeles at the Rose Bar - with all of her “Dancing With The Stars” joining in on the fun.

Amy Winehouse’s Woes Continue

Definitely not one of her best Halloweens, Amy Winehouse has been recovering from what’s said to be a nasty chest infection which landed her in a London Clinic.

The “Rehab” singer was accompanied by her good friend Blake Wood and her father Mitch Winehouse as she left the medical center to go to a private consultation before heading home on Halloween Friday (October 31).

In related news, a British couple that was accused of supplying cocaine and ecstasy to the troubled singer just pleaded guilty to related charges.

Paris Hilton: Beverly Glen Babe

Back in the States following a lengthy stay overseas in London, Paris Hilton was spotted all over town on what was a cold and rainy day in Los Angeles on Saturday (November 1).

After grabbing a bite to eat in the deli at Beverly Glen, Paris made a pharmacy stop as well as popping into a nearby store to do a little shopping.


Not too much later the same day, Paris returned to the same store in a completely different outfit - picking up gifts she purchased all wrapped and ready to go.

To finish things off, the heiress headed on over to a Bel Air office building, tending to matters concerning her new reality show, “My New BFF”.

The “Mean Girls” starlet attempted to cover her face as Samantha and an airport employee followed along, toting bags of Louis Vuitton luggage in-hand.

Meanwhile, a recent report claims that LiLo’s career is nearing its end following a reduction in appearances on the hit show “Ugly Betty”.

“It’s over for Lindsay, she’s got no film work, and after this [’Ugly Betty’ news], she’s not going to land TV jobs,” a source told MSNBC.

“I hear she’s even tried to get on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and can’t,” the insider added, telling that Miss Lohan’s upcoming role in the new movie “Labor Pains” may ultimately decide her Hollywood future.

Beyonce Knowles Jets Out of JFK

Finished up with her work in New York City, Beyonce Knowles was spotted making her way through JFK airport on Wednesday afternoon (October 29).

With the help of airport personnel, the “Dreamgirls” singer/actress slowly made her way through the terminal and past following paparazzi, ready to catch a flight out of town.

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, Miss Knowles spent the previous evening at the 59th Street Bloomingdales store in New York City to promote her new movie “Cadillac Records”.

Customers who purchased a dress from Beyonce’s House of Dereon dress collection were given an autographed copy of the “Cadillac Records” soundtrack, which won’t be available in stores for another month.

een Gets Time for Putting Grandma in 'Gangsta Rap' Video

A Florida teenager has been sentenced to 18 months in juvenile detention for coaxing his senile grandmother into holding a gun and threatening to shoot "all the pigs" in a homemade "gangster rap" video.

Eighteen-year-old Michael Alfinez pleaded guilty Tuesday to elder abuse charges. His family has said the case was a misunderstanding.

The 85-year-old grandmother can be seen in the video holding a handgun, wearing a black mask and threatening to shoot "all the pigs."

Alfinez was arrested in April after authorities seized the tape during a routine traffic stop. Alfinez and others also could be seen in the video shooting a pistol around town, reports the Associated Press.
Alfinez also pleaded guilty to charges of firing out of a moving vehicle and into a building.

Katy Perry: Gender Bender

She’s already made a name for herself with the androgynous hit “I Kissed a Girl,” and now Katy Perry is exploring more of her masculine side.

The pop singer was spotted at a big party held at Siren Studios, dressed as legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, donning a fake moustache and wig along with a flashy yellow jacket and white trackpants.

Getting back to her feminine tendencies, Perry has donated a sculpture of her bust to raise money for a breast cancer charity.

The bust will be up for auction, starting November 26th, with the proceeds going to the Keep a Breast Foundation. Her boyfriend, Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, will be adding his own style to the bust with a custom paint job.

Amanda Bynes: Jewelry Junkie

As the classic song goes, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” And yesterday Amanda Bynes was out and about, looking for some jewelry on Bedford Avenue in Beverly Hills.

The “She’s the Man” actress looked stylish in a mini polka dot dress, sandals, shades, and a swanky Gucci handbag as she smiled for the paparazzi.

As for her potential role in the sequel “Hairspray 2,” it sounds like one very important cast member has elected not to reprise his role - John Travolta.

The “Pulp Fiction” actor recently told press, “I think once is enough. I did it and I did it well but I’m not a big sequel guy.” Hence, it looks like the film’s producers are on the prowl for someone else to don the fat suit and dress this next time around.
