Only gay men like me: Posh

LONDON, May 15: Spice girl Victoria Beckham thinks straight men are no longer interested in her, only gay men are.

Thesun.co.uk reports her saying: "All the men that like me are gay. It is true. I have a really strong gaydar. I do love gay men though."

Eva Mendes goes topless for Vogue

MELBOURNE, May 15: Eva Mendes has gone topless for a provocative picture shoot in Italy's Vogue magazine.

The actress has posed in a semi-dominatrix outfit, complete with sexy black stockings, a lacy basque and a see-through black shirt, open to reveal her breasts.

She topped off her Vogue look with a black beehive hairdo, reports the Daily Telegraph.

This is not the first time Mendes has stripped off - she appeared completely nude as Denzel Washington's girlfriend in ‘Training Day.’

She also posed nude for I'd Rather Go Naked anti-fur campaign poster for People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) last year.

And she wore nothing but lingerie for a scene in the 2007 drama ‘We Own The Night.’

Mischa Barton caught topless!

SYDNEY, May 6: Holidaying in Hamilton Island was a relaxed affair for Mischa Barton, until a snapper caught the OC star sunbathing without her top on.

It was when the 22-year-old actress was spending two days on the Island with her mum, that a paparazzo clicked her sunbaking topless.

"We went out from Hamilton to a tiny island to relax in the sun and all of a sudden Jamie Fawcett jumped out of a bush with a massive camera lens and took photos of me. He'd followed us in a boat!” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted the fuming actress, as saying.

She added: "He's a ridiculous human being. I've never abhorred anyone more. I was so angry I went up to him and said how disappointed I was with his behaviour. He apologised but he was very insincere."

The Brit-American actress said that the photog again used a speedboat to try to take pictures of her in her room and hogged after them at the Qantas Club as she and her mum were leaving to return to Sydney.

"Talking to him, he's not a straightforward person. That's why I live in Paris, because I get the privacy I want there," said Mischa.

However, with the piracy on her privacy apart, she said that she had a good time with her mother at the uber-luxurious Qualia Resort.

"I went jet skiing and scuba diving and saw some beautiful coral. I haven't had a vacation in a long time so I just laid out and relaxed - it's just been the two of us with our own pool. Real mother-daughter time," she said.

Amy Winehouse cheats on hubby again!

LONDON, May 6: The troubled singer who is reportedly seeing her manager’s assistant Alex Haines while spouse Blake Fielder-Civil is in prison reportedly slept with Babyshambles guitarist Mik Whitnall, who has now been boasting to friends about his conquest.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “He says they’ve slept together a couple of times. He told a few people after that stuff about her and Alex Haines came out.

“It’s always supposed to have happened when they’ve been out drinking. He’s told people about her birthmark in an intimate place, which is his way of proving it happened.”

However, Mik’s manager insists the pair are just friends.

Reports of Amy cheating on Blake with Alex emerged last month, and he has now said to have demanded a £3 million divorce settlement.

Blake who is currently in London's Pentonville Prison awaiting charges of grievous bodily harm (GBH) and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice believes he is entitled to £250,000 for every month he has been married to the troubled singer.

A source said: "He has demanded £3 million at the very least from her £10 million fortune."

Bondage sex act kills a man

TENNESSEE: A man has apparently died in a bondage sex act with his wife which went fatally wrong, and the latter was now facing charges of reckless homicide.

The body of 29-year-old James Bargy with his arms and legs bound - a gag ball stuffed into his mount and his head wrapped - was found by emergency workers in Tennessee State, media reports said. The only opening for air was slits for his nostrils, officials said.

However, ABC television quoted the wife, Rebecca Bargy and Sam Patterson, her attorney, as saying that James' death was a tragic accident that occurred during fetish behaviour the couple often indulged in.

She told police that she tied her husband up and left him Friday to meet another man at a local motel for the night. When she returned Saturday, she found her husband was dead and went next door to her mother's house. Her mother, Mona Phillips, then made the call to police.

An autopsy found that Bargy died of asphyxiation. Rebecca, 25, was arrested and charged with reckless homicide in her husband's death Saturday night.

Authorities say she left her husband in the bonded state for more than 20 hours before she returned to their trailer to find him dead.

Prosecutor Michael Bottoms, who acknowledged the unusual nature of the case, told ABC News that his office might consider more serious charges as the investigation continued.

"We're considering other evidence in the case, and [the charge] may or may not change," he said.

Hilton’s intimate secret exposed!

WASHINGTON: Ever wonder why Paris Hilton would want to get snapped without her undies? Well, it seems that that’s because she always makes it a point to groom that very private place on her body.

The 25-year old hotel heiress has been snapped quite often without underwear, and is currently encouraging new BFF Britney Spears to do the same.

Now, Hilton’s bikini waxer Cindy Barshop, owner of the Completely Bare Salon, in New York, has revealed that the reason the socialite is so comfortable flashing her privates, is because she is always takes care to be well groomed down below.

"Paris is a customer of ours. I haven't done Britney, but we do see Paris for bikini waxes. I feel that if you do a completely bare wax, you feel cleaner, more comfortable and more groomed - it seems a little sexier,” Us Weekly magazine quoted her, as saying.

Barshop also insisted that Hilton happened to be one of those women, who after getting a completely bare wax feel comfortable not wearing any underwear, and as that area is groomed, also don’t feel embarrassed if they’re snaps are taken.

"I think that with the completely bare waxing, they just feel comfortable enough with their bodies that they can skip the underwear. And, oops, if they do happen to flash someone, it's not as embarrassing because the area is groomed," she said.

JLo mulls reality show

"Jennifer is unbelievably passionate about life and will be an incredible role model for our audience," TLC President Angela Shapiro-Mathes said in a statement.

Putin denies wedding report with former gymnast

MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday strongly denied rumours about his "plans" to marry a gymnast-turned-politician after quitting his office next month, saying there was "not a single word of truth" in the story published by a local tabloid last week.

"There is not a single word of truth in what you mentioned," he said, responding to a question about the story of Moskovsky Korrespondent tabloid claiming that Putin plans to wed Olympic rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabayeva on June 15 and has divorced his wife Lyudmila in February.

Putin was addressing a joint press conference with the Italian Prime Minister-elect Silvio Berlusconi at the Island of Sardinia, where the Russian leader stopped over for an informal meeting on his way back from a visit to Libya.

Earlier on Friday, Moskovsky Korrespondent acknowledged that its story was based on unsubstantiated rumours and offered apologies.

The tabloid accepted that it cannot substantiate its own report on Putin's "wedding with a famous gymnast" and apologised for the "moral pain" inflicted to the persons concerned.

"You mentioned the article in one of our yellow tabloids. In other publications of the sort, names of other successful and beautiful women and girls are mentioned. I think, it would not be unexpected if I say that I like all of them. Just as I like all the Russian women. I hope that none of you would be offended if I say that in my opinion our Russian women are the most talented and most beautiful. Perhaps only Italian women could compete with them," Putin said at the press conference televised live from Sardinia by the state-run Vesti channel.

Marilyn Monroe sex film sold for $1.5 million

NEW YORK, April 18: A 15-minute film of Marilyn Monroe engaging in oral sex with an unidentified man will be kept from public view by a New York businessman who has bought it for $1.5 million, the broker of the deal has said.

Memorabilia collector Keya Morgan said he arranged the sale of the silent, black-and-white film from the son of a dead FBI informant who possessed it, to a wealthy Manhattan businessman who wants to protect Monroe’s privacy. “The gentleman who bought it said he’s not going to put it on the Internet and try to exploit her,” Morgan said. The tape was sold on Monday. Monroe is clothed and the man’s head remains out of the frame.

She was rumoured to have had an affair with US President John F Kennedy, and Morgan said then FBI director J Edgar Hoover, a Kennedy rival, went to great lengths to try to prove it was Kennedy in the film.

“The FBI agent I interviewed said Hoover was obsessed. A team of nine individuals were analysing the tape inside a lab. Hoover brought in a few prostitutes who allegedly had been with President Kennedy and they tried to ... see if that was really President Kennedy.”

One of Monroe’s ex-husbands, the late baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, once tried to buy it from the collector for $25,000 but he would not part with it.

Madonna still enjoys a steamy sex life!

LONDON, April 8: The 4 Minutes singer who turns 50 in August says despite being married for over seven years, she and Snatch director Guy still make time to be alone together.

The mother-of-three told Britain's OK! magazine: "I don't know who told you that having children and getting married means there is no erotica in your life."

Earlier this month, Madonna vehemently denied reports her marriage to Guy is on the rocks. Liz Rosenberg, Madonna's US spokeswoman, said: "I am delighted to confirm that Mr. and Mrs. Guy Ritchie remain happily married.

"Though they were in different countries recently Madonna in the US promoting her upcoming album Hard Candy and Guy finishing up post-production on his new film RocknRolla as well as completing a Nike commercial and working on several scripts in England the family are joyfully back together at home in London. All is well and wonderful in the Ritchie household."
