Cruise offers to eat placenta

Tom Cruise has claimed he will eat the PLACENTA after fiancée Katie Holmes has their baby.
In an interview with GQ Magazine, the actor, 43 — who wants her to give birth in silence according to his Scientology beliefs— said: “I’m going to eat the placenta, too."
But when a GQ magazine interviewer said it would be a big meal, Cruise replied: “OK, maybe I won’t.”

Gimme Osama that!!!

La Cicciolina, 54, the legendary Italian porn star, publicly offered herself to Osama bin Laden in return for him suspending his terror campaign against the West. "It is time someone did something about bin Laden," she said, "and I am ready to do it."



Eminem’s Bad Week Part 1

D12 rapper Proof, a close collaborator of Eminem, was shot and killed this week at CCC, a Detroit club located on the city’s famous Eight Mile strip. Proof, real name DeShaun Holton, was apparently the first shooter in the incident, firing upon Keith Bender following an argument over a pool game. Mario Etheridge, Keith’s cousin and a bouncer at the club, allegedly then shot Proof. Etheridge surrendered to police Thursday morning. This is the second shooting this year involving Eminem’s entourage: Obie Trice was shot on New Year’s Eve while driving in Detroit.


Eminem’s Bad Week Part 2

“I would rather have a baby through my penis than get married again,” Eminem told Rolling Stone magazine in 2002. After going back on those words and re-marrying his ex-wife Kim, the rapper has now filed for divorce following a three-month marriage. On the bright side, this should give him a whole new set of song lyrics.


Country singer’s home destroyed in tornado

William Lee Golden, long identified as the mountain man of the Oak Ridge Boys, survived last week’s tornado that struck Gallatin, Tennessee, but his home did not. The only thing remaining of the 200-year-old colonial home was some brick walls. Golden, his wife Brenda and their four-year-old son Solomon, along with the family dog, hunkered down in their basement; the family cat was seen lying under some wreckage following the storm, and although believed to be dead, later reappeared healthy and hungry.


First the Daisy Dukes, now the swimsuit

Rumors abound that Jessica Simpson has signed on for the movie adaptation of “Baywatch.” Simpson reportedly will play lifeguard Casey “CJ” Parker, famously played by Pamela Anderson on TV.

Kenny loves the Big Apple

According to a press release from his label, Kenny Chesney’s concert at Madison Square Garden sold out in one hour. The event is the first country music sell-out at the venue since the Dixie Chicks played there four years ago. “(This is) almost surreal. What we know is the sound of tail-gating at the shows in the afternoons, the way ‘Anything But Mine’ sounds so great when we stop playing and let the fans sing it back to us, the way they roar when the lights drop…that’s what’s real,” Chesney said. “I remember the first time we sold out Manhattan, Kansas. The thing about dreams, they can’t come true if you don’t dream ’em.”


Workin’ in the coal mine, goin’ on down, down…

In the latest release “Coalmine” from the country star, Sara Evans sings “Shotgun houses, shanty shacks/countin’ those ties on the railroad track/just two more, it’s almost time/to see my baby walking out of that/coalmine, covered with dust.” Evans has decided to donate a portion of the proceeds from the single to a life needs/education fund for the families of the Sago mine disaster in West Virginia. The singer spent time with the Sago families during a reception before a recent Morgantown, W.Va., concert. Meanwhile, Randal McCloy, the lone Sago survivor, had a famous guest recently: Hank Williams Jr. While McCloy was in the hospital, his wife played the music of Williams, his favorite artist, particularly the song “A Country Boy Can Survive.” Williams visited the McCloys during the hospital stay, then made a return trip to their home this month, spending the day picking the guitar and signing autographs for friend and family.


He just hasn’t been the same since Britney

Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst is using a new song on his Myspace.com blog to trash former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland. The minute-long song, called “Unacceptableinterlude,” features the lines “stop making plans to manipulate fans and finally stick to something you believe/’cause you had us all fooled and, I’ll admit, even me.” Borland, now fronting a band called Black Light Burns, responded on his Myspace.com page, stating, “After years and years of dealing with each other, it seems that Fred and I still have not figured out how to keep it positive. I’m to blame, he’s to blame, it sucks.” Is it just me, or does all of this sound like high school gossip transferred to the web?


VH1 to honor rockers

The first VH1 “Rock Honors” will recognize KISS, Queen, Def Leppard and Judas Priest as pioneers in their genre.

Joining the band on a summer tour to pour some sugar on fans will be Journey. KISS, meanwhile, is off the road while Paul Stanley, age 54, is recovering from hip replacement surgery. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll take their toll…
