Arnold-Schwarzenegger 400
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Arnold Schwarzenegger says his lifelong penchant for secrecy and ability to put his emotions "on deep freeze" led him to keep many secrets from his wife Maria Shriver, eventually causing the dissolution of their marriage when he was forced to admit he fathered a child with the family's housekeeper years earlier.

Throughout their strained 25-year marriage, Schwarzenegger says he did not want to tell Shriver about crucial life decisions such as major heart surgery and running for California governor because he feared she would overreact and tell her well-connected family and friends.

Sun Sep 30, 2012

(Reuters) - Actress Lindsay Lohan was involved in a scuffle with a man at a New York hotel on Sunday, police said, over what media reports described as her demand that photos of her be deleted from his cellphone.

Actress Lindsay Lohan attends the White House Correspondents Association annual dinner in Washington in this April 28, 2012 file photograph. Lohan was attacked by a man in a New York hotel on September 30, 2012, her spokesman said, in what media reports described as a scuffle over her demands that photos of her be deleted from his cellphone. Lohan suffered minor injures following the Sunday morning attack, spokesman Steve Honig said in a statement. REUTERS/Larry Downing/FilesInvestigators took reports from both Lohan, 26, and the man, but charges appeared unlikely, said a spokeswoman for the New York City Police Department. A misdemeanor assault charge filed earlier in the day against the man was dropped, the spokeswoman said.

Police declined to confirm local media reports identifying the man as Christian LaBella, 25, of California, a staffer with Congressman John Shimkus, an Illinois Republican.

"Nobody's been arrested, there's no assault," the police spokeswoman told Reuters. "Reports were taken and both parties were able to give their account of what took place."

Ke$ha: I Had Sex With A Ghost, Then Wrote A Song About It!

Ke$ha: I Had Sex With A Ghost, Then Wrote A Song About It!

Thursday, September 27th 2012
Besides that one time she shaved the side of her head and replaced the bald spot with metal studs (and that other time when she took a piss in the middle of the street), we haven’t heard too much from Ke$ha.

So we KNOW you’ve been wondering, “Hey … what’s up with Ke$ha? Where has she been? What has she been doing?”


Well, she’s been busy making music … and having sex with ghosts, which Ke$ha credits as the inspiration for her new song “Supernatural.”

When asked about her new song, Ke$ha explained to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS FM morning radio show, “There are so many weird topics on this record from having sexy time with a ghost to getting hypnotized and going into past lives. I just really wanted the theme of this record to be the magic of life.”

 

Grown-ups line up for J.K. Rowling novel

Grown-ups line up for J.K. Rowling novel

New saga is far from Harry Potter fare, serving up doses of sex, satire and swearing

By Jill Lawless, The Associated Press September 28, 2012

JK Rowling. Photo: Getty ImagesBritish bookshops opened their doors early Thursday and some grown-up Harry Potter fans lined up overnight as J.K. Rowling launched her long-anticipated first book for adults, The Casual Vacancy.

The lines were shorter and the wizard costumes missing, but the book was published to some of the same fanfare that greeted each Potter tome, with stores wheeling out crates of the books precisely at 8 a.m. as part of a finely honed marketing strategy.

Published five years after the release of the last book in the boy wizard saga, The Casual Vacancy is already at No. 1 on Amazon's U.S. chart, and bookmaker William Hill put 2/1 odds on it outselling Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which shifted 2.6 million copies in Britain on its first day.

Many of the early buyers were Harry Potter fans who, like the author, have moved on to more adult fare.

"I just like how much excitement there is about a book," said 23-yearold Grace Proctor, a "massive" Potter fan who was first to buy the book at one London store.

Access Hollywood’s Michelle Beadle sat down with Nicki at the launch of her Pink Friday fragrance at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City on Monday where she dished about the reported drama with her fellow “Idol” judge.

“This season will be like you’ve never seen it before and I have to honestly say that,” she said of the FOX reality competition debuting this winter.

First and foremost, Nicki said she has the utmost respect for her fellow judge.

“Mariah’s a legend and I just want to say that… I’m sitting next to woman who’ve I looked up to since I can remember enjoying music. My mother and I bonded to Mariah and I told her that, before even ‘American Idol,’” she explained. “It’s obvious that we both have strong personalities, but ultimately, there’s respect there and I think if nothing else, it’ll make for really great TV.”
