"Put the guns and the knives down and live to see another concert" - P Diddy
Hip hop legend P Diddy is teaming up with footie star Rio Ferdinand to organise a huge anti-violence gig in the UK.
The hip hop mogul and Manchester United football star both represent campaigns to fight gun and knife crime.
Their message comes after a wave of high profile stabbings on Britain's streets.
At London's exclusive Paper nightclub P Diddy said: "I promise I will bring one of the biggest hip hop shows to London. I'm going to bring all my friends over, we're going to do a big show.
"One of the most important messages we can get across to fans is the seriousness of gun and knife crime here.
"Put the guns and the knives down and live to see another concert."
A day after reports surfaced of Vinod disowning his sons because they humiliated him during the Arun-Liz wedding celebrations and treated him like a “second-class citizen”, the Daily Mail has reported that Liz is outraged at the way he’s washing dirty linen in public - and the British actor is blaming mom-in-law Joanne for stoking the flames.
Sources told the tabloid that the rift developed after Vinod’s second wife tried to “upstage the bride” at the Indian ceremony in Jodhpur. A close friend is quoted as saying, “Elizabeth is extremely hurt, but angry too. She can’t believe he has gone public like this. Some of us think Joanne is to blame for this and encouraged Arun’s father to speak out.”
Interestingly, in an earlier interview to After Hours, Joanne had said that she had no problems with her new daughter-in-law. She had claimed the post wedding party, they were to host a party that was later cancelled because Liz and Arun were tired after the 10-day long wedding celebrations in the UK and Mumbai.
But now Vinod has revealed the real reason was something else. “I figured if they could treat us so shabbily, there was no guarantee they would actually come.”
The unpleasantness has even left Mumbai circles with a bitter after taste. Arti Surendranath, who was part of the celebrations, is appalled by the turn of events. “I genuinely don’t want to be involved. Vinod is my friends’ father and I don’t believe he could have said all those things. Poor Liz is unnecessarily being maligned. It is really unfortunate.”
So what’s the bottomline if Vinod actually disowns his sons? “There is a difference between disowning and disinheriting someone,” says Mahesh Jethmalani. “One may disown a son, but he can still stand to inherit through his father’s will. I don’t know what is meant by ‘disowning’ in this case. However, this is a private matter and best resolved within the family.”
However, a close friend of Niki who was at the wedding says, “I don’t think this is true at all! I saw the dynamics at the wedding and everything seemed okay. C’mon, Niki lives two floors below his father! In fact, just ten days ago someone warned me about this story - that I’d see it coming in the papers. It’s all just sensationalism. I don’t think they’d ever go on record to say something like this.”
The source adds that what should be looked into was why there were very few of Liz’s relatives at the wedding. “Isn’t that strange?”
THEY are both used to performing but there was only one show on the minds of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban yesterday.
The couple took Sydney's Royal Easter Show organisers by surprise when they made a low-key arrival with their nephew, Hamish.
Even other showgoers failed to notice them.
But once word had got out that the famous couple were at Sydney Olympic Park, they were flanked by the show's security guards and police.
They took in the woodchop and wandered down sideshow alley where Hamish, who is Antonia Kidman's son, won a stuffed Crazy Frog.
Excited fans Emma Finlayson and Sian Davies, both 16, from the Blue Mountains, were disappointed they couldn't get a photograph or autograph from their favourite star.
"We couldn't believe we saw her in person. It's pretty exciting," Ms Finlayson said.
At lunch the Kidman clan were drawn to the NAB Arena for the action of the Xtreme Korruption, Globe of Death and Lady Cannonball.
They sat among the packed crowd. Kidman gritted her teeth and cheered when freestyle motocross riders flung themselves 60m into the air.
Royal Agricultural Society events and marketing manager John Aitken said it was great to see the couple at the Show.
He said that obviously, like every other visitor to the Show, Kidman and Urban wanted to get cow dung on their boots.
Halle Berry rarely speaks about the time, ten years ago, when she tried to commit suicide by poisoning herself with carbon monoxide. Which is why she's upset with Parade magazine for "regurgitating" the decade old story about her suicide attempt that ran last week.
"It wasn't my wish to go into all of that again in this time of my life. I talked about it on Larry King Live and Oprah when it was relevant, and I felt like it was important to help other women and share it with them," she says.
"But it's just not where I am today and I really hate that it's been presented like it is... I'm in such a great time in my life right now, it wouldn't be my wish to really revisit that period, but this outlet did and made it seem as if it were current again."
Catwoman took one more swipe at Parade, saying, "Because I have a movie out, some magazine has sensationalized some old material and it's not something that I want to talk about. It's 10 years old and I'm so past it."
Britney Spears appears to have gotten her life back together since she left rehab, but she may be having trouble letting part of her old one go, as reports surfaced this week that the singer has had to slash a million dollars of the asking price of her Malibu mansion. TMZ reports that the 9,200 square foot Serra Retreat mansion, one that comes with seven bedrooms and a recording studio, was going for $13.5 million originally but that the price has been slashed to just under $12 million. The website reports that the listing appears on Coldwell Banker's website but without a mention of Spears and that there have been no offers on the mansion, even with the reduced pricetag.
In other BritBrit news of the day, Star Magazine reports that the singer, who had recently been playing nice with estranged husband Kevin Federline, lashed out and told him that he was "the biggest mistake she ever made." Of course, in typical double-edged Britney Spears fashion, the comment came as a part of a last-minute open door to save their marriage. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline finalized their divorce last week and Star reports that a source tells them, "Britney said, 'Do you really want to do this?' and Kevin said yes. Britney replied, 'You're the biggest mistake I've ever made, but thank you for my babies.'"
Star Magazine implies in the same story that Kevin Federline led Britney Spears to believe that they would get back together if she went to and completed rehab, which may be why we heard so many rumors to that end while Britney was at Promises. Perhaps it was just something to help Britney Spears get through what she needed to get her act together. Monsters and Critics reports that Kevin Federline will get $13 million in the divorce settlement with Britney Spears. According to a prenup, K-Fed was only supposed to get $500,000 for the marriage, but Britney upped that number to a million in the settlement last week. Federline will also get half of the proceeds from the mansion, should it ever sell, and $25,000 a month in child support for Sean Preston and Jayden James until they're eighteen. Federline will also get custody of the kids four days a week.
One more piece of Britney Spears news - Life and Style Weekly magazine reports that Britney Spears and singer Howie Day fell for each other at Promises in Malibu. A source tells the magazine, "Britney has fallen hard for him. Britney just lights up and seems back to her old self when she talks to Howie or tells people about him. She thinks he's very talented - and says he's the best kisser ever!"
Someone claims to have already gotten momma Spears' opinion on the whole thing with a source telling Life and Style that Lynne Spears isn't happy about her daughter's new fling - "Lynne wants Britney to be with someone outside the music industry. Howie is always on the road and exposed to influences that are discouraged in rehab."
Well knowned for her carefully crafted show themes, the focus of Betsey Johnson Fall 2007 was a School of Charm.
The show opened as several models dressed up in maids costumes strutted down the catwalk with dust brooms in hand - dusting as they go.
We just loved the high waisted shorts that were featured throughout Betsey Johnson Fall 2007 collection.
Black high waisted shorts, black opaque tights, toped by a silky pink top and black jacket was one of our favorities.
Grey and Black High Waisted Short Outfit
Another high waisted shorts combo was featured in grey and black, with black opaque tights and a black shirt with large front tie - great for the fall cocktail set or the dance floor.
A little black mini dress with layered skirts, reminded us of the 20s flapper look and looked great on the catwalk .
Little Black Layered Mini Dress
Betsey Johnson - this 65 year old grandmother can still do a great cartwheel down the catwalk.
