A kiss for Justin as Jen's 'wildest dream' comes true

Luckily the actress, who shed a tear during her acceptance speech, was supported by the two leading men in her life – her father John and her boyfriend Justin Theroux.

The pair have kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight over the past nine months, but Jennifer couldn't resist giving her beau a kiss.

And there was also a peck on the cheek for her dad, who proudly looked on beside Justin.

Days of Our Lives star John – who was born on the Greek island of Crete – has in the past said he would love Jennifer to settle down with a nice Greek boy.

But he has been won over by Jen's American boyfriend, saying: "He's a charming young man" and "they make a wonderful couple".

The 78-year-old actor also revealed he and his wife get together with the cute couple whenever they can.

Jennifer is clearly in a great place right now. Of her star honour, the 43-year-old said: "It probably wasn't even a dream, it was one of my wildest dreams.

"I don't think that I ever even thought that this would be here, this day. So I am utterly humbled and grateful."

Jennifer, pretty in a patterned Tom Ford dress, was joined by her Her Just Go With It co-star Adam Sandler, who couldn't resist making some wisecracks.

"She prayed for three things: to have everyone in the entire world be fascinated with her hair, to one day star in a movie about an evil leprechaun who kills people," he said – referring to her little-known role in 1993 horror film Leprechaun.

"And most importantly, receive a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame. Well, today, Jennifer, the trifecta is here."

Susan Boyle has a flipping good time on Pancake Day

22 FEBRUARY 2012 Susan Boyle had a flipping great time this week – but it was all in the name of charity.

The Britain's Got Talent megastar showed off some impressive pancake tossing skills as she turned chef for a day.



Susan joined Cardinal Keith O'Brien – the leader of the Catholic Church in Scotland – and catering students at St Augustine's High School in Edinburgh.


She also revealed she was giving up chocolate for Lent.


The choir singer turned global superstar was raising awareness of Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund's (Sciaf) Wee Box, Big Change fundraising campaign.


It calls on people to give up their favourite treat during Lent and put the money they save in a Sciaf "wee box". The cash is then used to help tackle poverty in Africa, Asia and Latin America.


Other Scottish celebs such as actor Robert Carlyle, entrepreneur Michelle Mone and Old Firm managers Neil Lennon and Ally McCoist are also taking part in the campaign.


Susan said: "Sciaf and its work with people living in poverty in developing countries is really close to my heart and always has been. I'm happy that I'm now in a position to help them more than I used to be able to.


"It's going to be really tough giving up chocolate for Lent again, so it was great to tuck into a small feast with the young people today. It's been great fun and I know every penny raised from the Wee Box, Big Change campaign will help people in need."


Sciaf said the money raised will provide seeds, tools and training for farmers, and education and skills training to people in some of the poorest countries in the world.

Prince Johan Friso may never come out of coma

24 FEBRUARY 2012 Doctors have said Prince Johan Friso of the Netherlands may never regain consciousness after a skiing accident during which he was buried under an avalanche. 

During a press conference on Friday officials revealed he was trapped under the snow for 25 minutes. It took a further 50 minutes for him to be resuscitated.

An MRI scan was performed on Thursday, which indicated the prince suffered large amounts of brain damage due to lack of oxygen.


Doctors cannot say when the prince will come out of his coma, if at all. It may be months or even years.


The royal family are now looking for a rehabilitation centre where he can receive further treatment.


The accident happened last Friday while he was skiing off piste in the Austrian resort of Lech – where the Dutch royals traditionally take their winter break.


A childhood friend, who was with him at the time, survived because he was wearing avalanche airbag.


Florian Moosbrugger, reportedly dug his friend out with his own hands and called the emergency services, the Austrian Times reports.



He was questioned by police about which of the skiers went down the slope first, and how the avalanche began.


The 43-year-old prince has been unconscious and fighting for his life ever since he was airlifted to safety. 


Friso is the second son of the reigning Queen Beatrix and her late husband Prince Claus.


He has no claims on the Dutch throne after giving up his place in the line of succession to marry his wife Princess Mabel, now 43. 


Parliament refused to approve the match after she admitted misleading the government about her alleged relationship with underworld boss Klaas Bruinsma – a well known figure in drug trade. 



The couple married in 2004 and have two daughters – Luana, seven, and six-year-old Zaria. 


Businessman Johan currently works as a Chief Financial Officer for a uranium enrichment company called URENCO.


He studied mechanical engineering at the University of California and also has a degree in economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam and an MBA from the European Institute of Business Administration.

Kelly to design own Oscar gown as stars choose outfits

Apparently, the new trend in Tinseltown is to design your own awards ceremony dress.


Rihanna took the lead at the Grammys with her self-created Armani gown, and now Kelly Osbourne is helping to fashion her own Oscars frock.


While the 27-year-old won’t disclose the designer she is working with, she has hinted that it will be a colourful outfit.



"The fun of getting dressed up for an award show is almost getting lost," she said. "And I think for me, that novelty will never wear off. I love it.


“With the Oscars, I just hope that it’s a lot more colourful, put it that way."


Designer David Meister, who has dressed the likes of Kim Kardashian and Sofia Vergara, agrees.


"If you're wearing bright colours, you'll pop more and that's important in a photograph," he said.


Other stars are more concerned with finding a gown they feel and look comfortable in.



Finding the right dress is “very important,” best actress nominee Viola Davis said recently. “I don't want to look bad."


“I want to look like I belong on the red carpet and I'm comfortable on the red carpet and that I'm stepping into the role that has come to me at this point in my life and it's reflective of me and who I am as a woman of a certain age and of colour.


“I always want it to be me at my best. Not trying to put on a mask. Just me."


Fellow nominee Rooney Mara is on the same wavelength.


"I don't think about it in terms of what people say or like or think. I try to find something that I feel comfortable in. I do like fashion, but if it's not comfortable, I won't wear it," she says.

Tributes pour in for 'the man who loved to make people laugh'

23 FEBRUARY 2012

The world of showbiz has been celebrating the life of Frank Carson, who has died at the age of 85.


The Belfast-born comedian, who underwent an operation for stomach cancer last year, died surrounded by his family at his home in Blackpool.


The comic, famous for his catchphrase "It's a cracker", rose to fame in the 1960s after winning talent show Opportunity Knocks three times, and went on to appear in The Comedians and Tiswas.

 




His friend and television presenter Eamonn Holmes said: "The term legend is often overused - but Frank Carson was a legend and we will never ever see his like again."


Comedian Ken Dodd described his "good friend" as a "jolly jester" who had the "fantastic gift of making people happy".


Speaking of their relationship, the Liverpudlian, who first met Frank in the 1960s, added: "He had a big, warm personality and was a wonderful man who was a joy to work with."


Chris Tarrant, who appeared alongside Frank on Tiswas, told BBC Radio 5 Live: "He was the funniest man I have met in my life and would tell jokes relentlessly - there was not anyone like him."



Sir Bruce Forsyth told ITV News: "The only trouble with Frank, as far as I'm concerned, is that he made me laugh too much.


He'll be remembered as the one and only Frank Carson - the man who loved to make people laugh."


Frank's son Tony paid his own heartfelt tribute to his father and said the family felt it was only right that he was buried in his home town of Belfast. "He was good dad, right up to the end he was very good," said his son.


"He just had such a positive outlook on everything. There was definitely a child within and he just wanted to have fun and give fun to everybody."

Gucci's gothic glamour kicks off Milan Fashion Week

23 FEBRUARY 2012

Their Milan show might have been dark, but it was far from dreary.


With the Oscars just days away, Italian powerhouse Gucci unveiled an ultra glamorous array of floor-length, billowing dresses in midnight hues.


"This is modern-day romanticism," designer Frida Giannini said. "A dramatic sensuality, a dark glamour with subtle tones of provocative intellect."




The offerings in black, forest green and plum had been designed with decadence in mind – fur, silk, velvet and leather all adorned Edwardian-esque layered ensembles.


The sultry show kicked off Milan Fashion Week, following on from the headline-grabbings antics of London.


Plum lipstick, leather capes and moody lighting all complemented the noir feel of the presentation.

'Miss Catherine' reveals name of royal puppy

22 FEBRUARY 2012 Up until now the information has been kept strictly under wraps, with aides instructed not to give the game away.


But what the world's press failed to discover, children at an Oxfordshire school found out without too much trouble.


Pupils at Rose Hill Primary School learned what the Duchess of Cambridge and her husband have called their new pet, a black cocker spaniel.




When one child gave Kate, 30,  a toy dog to cuddle she said: "Why don't we call it after my dog? He's called Lupo".


The royal had come to publicise the work carried out of the charity, The Art Room, in her capacity as patron.


Buoyed by the success of her previous solo engagements, Kate looked confident as she chatted and shook hands with well-wishers. 



And in keeping with the art theme, she showed her talent for diplomatic dressing by donning a coat-dress by Irish designer Orla Kiely, aptly known as the queen of prints.


Her dress, which was reduced from £325 to £162.50 in the sales, ended up with a blob of red paint on the cuff in an arts class.


The school's little charges were asked to read Edward Lear's poem The Owl and the Pussycat to their VIP guest, and then paint pictures inspired by the story.  


And the mishap happened when Kate, a History of Art graduate, got stuck in wearing an apron embroidered with the name 'Miss Catherine'.


Her attitude won praise from Lisa Hancock, the charity's manager at the school.


"She seemed to have as much fun as the children and seemed very relaxed. She had all the right language and was very calm and gentle."


The Art Room charity uses creative therapy to raise self esteem and independence amongst disadvantaged children and teenagers.


Its founder and director, Julie Beattie, described it as "one of the smallest charities in the country" and is thrilled that the Kate is helping raise its profile.


After her first stop, the Duchess headed to Oxford Spires Academy School where the organisation also has facilites and runs workshops.

New York based Princess Madeleine moves in with financier boyfriend

23 FEBRUARY 2012

Princess Madeleine of Sweden is ready to take her relationship with boyfriend Chris O’Neill to the next level.


According to Swedish newspaper Expressen, Madeleine and Chris will move into a four-bedroom luxury apartment in Manhattan together.


The Princess moved to New York almost two years ago to start over after splitting from her fiancé and boyfriend of eight years, Jonas Bergström.



Her ex was last seen with his new girlfriend, Stephanie af Klerker, an old friend of Madeleine’s, at the wedding of Robin af Byren and Tin-Tin Rosén:


Emma Pernald, Prince Carl Philip's ex, and her new boyfriend Tomas Jonson also attended the nuptials.


Although financial adviser Chris has been properly introduced to the royal family, the news of Madeleine moving in with him apparently hasn't gone down too well with her parents.


With eldest daughter Crown Princess Victoria now on maternity leave, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia were hoping Madeleine would take over some of her duties, but her permanent residency in the US means this will prove difficult.



According to Expressen, Madeleine has told her parents she does not want to take over any of her sister’s duties and has no intention of leaving New York where she has forged a new life for herself.

Academy plays down Sacha Baron Cohen Oscars 'ban'

Oscar bosses have denied that they've banned Sacha Baron Cohen from attending the awards after he apparently hatched a plan to turn up as his latest big-screen alter-ego.


The comedian was reported to have had his tickets rescinded because he wanted to walk down the red carpet dressed up as spoof character General Aladeen from his new movie The Dictator - before changing into a tuxedo for the ceremony.




An Academy Awards spokesperson said: "We haven't banned him. We're just waiting to hear what he's going to do. 


"We don't think (the stunt) is appropriate ... but his tickets haven't been pulled. We're waiting to hear back."




Sacha, who was invited to attend the Oscars as a cast member of best picture nominee Hugo, has a history of pulling stunts at awards ceremonies.


He flew through the air at the MTV Movie Awards and landed with his bare backside on Eminem's face - in a fake mishap - to promote his character Bruno in 2009.


In 2006 he arrived at the Toronto International Film Festival as Borat on a carriage pulled by 'peasant women'.

"Nothing beats coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits and winning album of the year," she said.


"I'm so proud to be flying the British flag for all of you."


Also flying high was baby-faced newcomer Ed Sheeran, who was named Best Newcomer and also pipped industry stalwarts like Noel Gallagher to take home Best Male Act.



He heaped praise on his manager for his evolution from "a spotty, chubby, ginger teenager".  


Other winners on the night included British groups Coldplay, and Rihanna, who won Best International Female and lit up the stage with a colourful and risque performance..

Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber to pen Jubilee anthem

24 FEBRUARY 2012

Singer-songwriter Gary Barlow is teaming up with musical maestro Andrew Lloyd Webber to create a song for the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.


And the pair are aiming to 'Rule The World' by scouring locations around the globe to find other artists to perform with them.


The song will be performed at the star-studded Diamond Jubilee concert in front of Buckingham Palace on June 4.

The X Factor judge's journey will see him travel to the Caribbean, Africa, the Pacific Islands and Australasia.


He said: "This is probably the biggest challenge I've ever taken on musically. I'm so excited and thrilled to be a part of it." 


Andrew added: "It is a huge honour to be involved in this historic occasion and I am looking forward very much to working with Gary."



The song-writing project was announced on Radio 2's Chris Evans show on Friday. 


Gary is a favourite amongst the royals so it is no suprise he has been approached to co-write a song for the ocassion.


He has been heavily involved in the Prince's Trust and staged a concert to raise funds for the charity.


Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William all attended the event.


Gary's also been asked by the royal household to help organise the Diamond Jubilee concert  - which has now attracted more than one million ticket applications - featuring performances by Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John.

Sweden prepares to welcome heir with 42 gun salute

22 FEBRUARY 2012 The first birth in the Swedish royal family for nearly three decade will be marked with some fanfare.

As Princess Victoria made a glowing final appearance along with her husband Daniel before welcoming their little prince or princess, the palace revealed details of the planned celebrations.


A cannon salute of 42 shots fired in the capital Stockholm is expected to herald the arrival of the new heir.




In a more modern touch, news of the birth will also appear on the royal household's Facebook page.

And the proud grandfather King Carl Gustaf will announce the baby's name and titles in a meeting of the Cabinet Council.


Meanwhile, the royal family will give thanks for the safe delivery at a 'Te Deum' service in the Royal Chapel the day after the birth.


Victoria and her family will be hoping the happy event unites the country behind them after a testing period.



In 2011, the Scandinavian country was rocked by scandal following the publication of a biography chronicling the king's youthful indiscretions.


"It's been a very rough year. It hurts very much to see your parents written about in a harsh way," admitted the future queen in a TV interview.


Although, Victoria, 34, added that it had "strengthened" their ties as a family.

Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries -- Zero Communication Since Split

Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries -- Zero Communication Since Split | TMZ.com .hideplaybutton{display:none} HomePhotosVideos TMZ Sign In | Sign Up Justin Bieber's Baby Accuser -- Not Her First 'You're the…

Kim Kardashian hasn't spoken a word to Kris Humphries since she filed for divorce, despite reports to the contrary -- this according to sources close to the couple.

Sources close to KK tell TMZ ... the two have been giving each other nothing but the silent treatment since Kim filed divorce papers on Monday ... despite multiple reports they've been communicating regularly. 

According to sources, the couple made a mutual decision not to communicate -- at least for the time being. We're told any immediate communication will be handled through their reps.

As for other break-up logistics, like getting each other's stuff back -- we're told there really aren't any ... neither Kim nor Kris ever officially moved into the other's home ... so the split was pretty clean.

TMZ spoke to Kim's mom Kris Jenner earlier today in L.A. -- and she tells us, she hasn't spoken to Kris either since the split.

Bench Warrant Issued for Terrell Owens


Terrell Owens is a wanted man -- TMZ has learned a California judge has issued a warrant for his arrest for failing to appear at a hearing regarding past-due child support.


Court sources confirm ... the warrant was issued on Nov. 1 after T.O. was a no-show in family court ... where Monique Reynolds was trying to force the football star to finally cough up thousands of dollars in unpaid child support.


Owens -- who's gone public about his dire financial situation -- had previously petitioned the court to lower his payments to Monique ... but the judge denied his request because he was M.I.A. during the court hearing.


T.O.'s rep tells us ... the football star tried to reschedule the court date when he knew he wouldn't be able to make it ... but Monique refused to budge.


The rep also insists, "The warrant is currently being taken care of."

I Missed Court
to Audition for the NFL
Terrell Owens
claims he wasn't trying to duck his baby's mother by not appearing at a child support hearing last month ... instead, he claims he had an obligation to attend a public workout session in the hopes of securing an NFL contract.

TMZ broke the story ... a California judge issued a bench warrant for the football player's arrest for not appearing at a scheduled hearing on October 24.

But T.O.'s rep tells us he tried like hell to reschedule because he had a massively publicized workout at Calabasas High School that day (below) ... but his baby's mother wouldn't cut him a break.



 
As far as the child support payments are concerned, T.O's rep says ... "Mr. Owens pays child support payments for his 4 children. The amounts are based on his 2007 Cowboys income of $11-$12 million a year."

T.O. claims the payments are unfair because he was making 1/5 of the money when he was playing for the Bengals after he left Dallas ... and currently has "no income."

The rep concludes, "Mr. Owens is working to resolve all of these matters and appreciates his fans' support. We are confident that Mr. Owens will be signed this season to the NFL and all of his child support payments will be modified fairly according to his true income."

Kim Kardashian -- Banning Divorce Drama from E! Reality Show


There will be no two-part Kardashian divorce special on E! ... this according to sources who tell us Kim did NOT want cameras to document the private, emotional moments behind her divorce.


Sources close to the family tell TMZ ... Kim will not be shooting any footage for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" until the beginning of next year ... and is insisting she does not want to exploit the "real" moments behind the divorce on TV.


We're told Kim will most likely acknowledge the split when filming picks up again -- but all of the behind the scenes crying, fighting and other divorce-related stuff will not air on the show.


If you're still craving a nasty reality break-up ... don't worry, "Jersey Shore" starts again real soon.

NFL Star Chris Johnson -- Threatens Lawsuit Over 'Dreads on a Stick'


Tennessee Titans
running back Chris Johnson ain't just takin' on the Bengals this weekend -- he's also going after two guys allegedly trying to profit off the NFL star's dreadlocks without his permission.


Johnson is furious ... after learning about a product called, "Dreads on a Stick" -- which were being marketed as fun wig-type thing fans can wear to support CJ.


The guys behind the product launched a website to sell the "Dreads"-- which featured Chris' name and image.


But CJ tells TMZ ... he NEVER approved the product and doesn't want his fans to be duped into thinking he had anything to do with it ... so he's unleashed his lawyers to make things right.


Johnson tells us, "My lawyers on are on it ... the site has already been shut down ... and I'm investigating to see if these guys made any money off of this deceptive scheme."


TMZ spoke to one of the guys behind "Dreads," who tell us, "This is bulls**t ... we're going to put this site back up and still promote dreads on a stick."


He adds, "We've been involved with Chris Johnson and his business team for the last 6 months."

'CSI Star to Cop -- Hey, Didn't You Bust Me??


George Eads stared a cop right in the face on the set of "CSI" last month ... desperately trying to figure out why the guy looked so damn familiar ... then it hit him -- he BUSTED him two years ago!!!


Sources tell TMZ ... George was pulled over for speeding in L.A. roughly two years ago ... going faster than 80 mph. Eads got himself a ticket ... but he never forgot the face of the cop who took him down. 


Fast forward to October -- when that same cop was on the set in uniform -- handling security for the show. We're told the two men approached each other ... and realized they had history.


But this story has a happy ending -- the guys both laughed it off ... but George made sure to check his speed on the way home that day.

Justin Bieber's Baby Accuser -- Not Her First 'You're the Daddy' Allegation


The woman who claims Justin Bieber fathered her child -- originally accused her ex-boyfriend of being the daddy to the very same baby last year ... this according to her ex-BF's grandmother.


TMZ spoke with Frances Lippe ... who tells us Mariah Yeater had been dating her grandson John Terranova in Las Vegas toward the end of high school.


Lippe says Yeater came to their home in December 2010 and told Terranova she was pregnant with his child. He insisted he did not get her pregnant.


The two got into an argument and police were called ... because Yeater allegedly broke a car window out of rage.


Later that day, according to the police report, Yeater returned to the home to work out a payment plan for the window ... and got into another altercation with Terranova ... and allegedly slapped John 3 separate times in the face with her open right hand.


Yeater was arrested and charged for battery.  A court date has been set in Vegas.


Lippe tells us they never heard from Yeater again after the December altercation. 10 months later, Mariah surfaced ... now claiming Bieber is the father. JB says it just ain't true.


Mariah gave birth to a baby boy in San Diego on July 6 -- she did not list a father on the birth certificate.


We've made multiple calls to Yeater's attorneys -- so far, no response.

Arnold Schwarzenegger At Walmart -- Save Money, Live Better ... With Security

Arnold Schwarzenegger at Walmart
Arnold Schwarzenegger's late night run to Walmart turned into a full-blown mob scene -- his security team tried in vain to keep the crowd at bay.

Arnold tweeted this pic from the checkout line, with the caption, "Albuquerque is getting cold, so I bought some warm clothes for my crew today. Thanks to the employees who helped me!"

A store employee tells TMZ ... Walmart managers dispatched their in-house security team to control the fans who hounded Arnold for pics and autographs.

Arnold's there shooting a movie -- and we're told he slapped down his Amex to purchase a bunch of long sleeve shirts and a few jackets ... totaling about $300.

Military Stores -- We're BOYCOTTING Soulja Boy


A system of stores run by the United States Department of Defense will NOT be stocking Soulja Boy's upcoming album -- so long as it contains the rapper's army-bashing song lyrics.


LTC Thomas Shrader from the Army and Air Force Exchange Service -- an agency run by the USDOD -- tells TMZ, Soulja's "Respect My Hustle" will have no place on the shelves of its 3,100 facilities ... whose MILLIONS in profits go to benefit armed services programs every year.


As we previously reported, the outrage is all over the rapper's new song "Let's Be Real" -- in which Soulja raps, "F**k the FBI and the army troops." Soulja has since apologized.


Shrader tells TMZ, Soulja's lyrics "are unacceptable and not the kind of thing we would want to market.”


But there's still hope for SB -- if the song ultimately gets cut from the album ... we're told the Exchange will reevaluate the ban.

Al Davis Suggests Beef W/ Al Michaels Is Over Bogus Adultery Claim

0906_al_davis_al_michaels_EX

Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis believes Al Michaels secretly blames him for planting a FALSE news report about Michaels cheating on his wife a while back ... and suggests that's the REAL reason Michaels blasted him on TMZ over the weekend.

After the NFL announcer RIPPED Davis ... calling him a terrible owner who's probably gonna die soon ... Oakland Raiders P.R. Director Mike Taylor gave the following statement to TMZ:

"We have no idea what Michaels was blathering about.  I do remember Michaels being associated with an ultimately bogus report about adultery and other misdeeds and he thought Al Davis had something to do with it.  Al Davis had nothing to do with it."

"During the recent Raiders/Saints broadcast, Chris Collinsworth put Michaels in his place when Michaels was speaking about the Raiders.  John Madden did the same thing when he was in the booth with Michaels."

"We do not know what started this."

FYI -- The "report" Taylor is referring to was a radio station prank back in 1997 ... and as Taylor pointed out, there was NO TRUTH to the notion that Michaels ever committed adultery.

Celine Dion -- Rogue Cake-Eater Broke Into My Home!


Celine Dion
was the victim of a fridge-raiding burglary yesterday, according to police -- after a man was arrested inside her Montreal mansion while munching on pastries ... and trying to take a bath.


According to CBS News, 36-year-old Daniel Bedard has been charged with breaking and entering, auto theft, and causing property damage -- after the man allegedly stole keys from Celine's husband's car ... and used them to break into the singer's house.


Bedard tripped the alarm in the process and police raided the home -- catching him while he was making himself a bath.

Laval police spokesman Franco Di Genova said, "He opened the water faucets, was pouring a nice warmish bath (and) he even managed to eat some pastry that was in the fridge."


Di Genova continued, "The suspect was coming down the big staircase and was asking: 'Hey, guys what are young doing here?'"


The officers arrested him on the spot.

Anthony Michael Hall's Neighbors Complain -- 'He Wants to Fight Everyone'


Anthony Michael Hall
has been scaring the crap out of his neighbors for months ... screaming obscenities and challenging people to fights in the street ... this according to sources close to the actor.


Several people who live near Hall in Playa del Rey, CA tell TMZ ... when Hall was arrested for allegedly terrorizing his condo complex last night, no one was shocked because he's been acting strange for a while.


We're told Hall is often seen acting aggressive outside of his unit -- cussing at people who walk by, flipping them off and even attempting to squirt people with a hose ... for no apparent reason.


Our sources say neighbors complained to the housing association ... but no action had been taken against Hall.


One person tells us, "I have considered buying a gun to stay safe from Hall ... he's the scariest person I've ever encountered in my life."

The Game: Restaurant BOOTED Me Because I'm Black


The Game
claims he's just been kicked out of a famous L.A. restaurant because he's BLACK -- even referring to the manager as a "slave master" ... but the restaurant insists they were simply enforcing the dress code.


Sources close to Game tell TMZ, the rapper dropped by Hillstone's in Santa Monica -- formally known as Houston's -- wearing a white tank top ... when the manager refused to seat him.


According to sources, the manager told Game he was in violation of the dress code, which requires men to wear sleeves. But Game's pals tell TMZ ... there were two white males in the restaurant with sleeveless shirts ... and it wasn't a problem.


Game believes the 86'ing was racially motivated -- and took to Twitter moments ago -- telling his 644,000 followers, "Houston's just went from my favorite resturant to the "RACIST-URANT" !!!!"


The rapper added, "Hillstone's racist-urant formerly known as Houston's & their slave-master manager Valerie has just made #1 on the RACIST resturant list !"


A rep for the restaurant tells us ... Game only pointed to a lone sleeveless woman at the bar -- NOT two men -- and says the sleeve rule does not apply to females.


The rep says the restaurant would love to have The Game back ... when he's wearing the appropriate clothing.

Soulja Boy -- Army-Bashing Song WON'T Be On My New Album


Soulja Boy and his management team are SCRAMBLING to remove all traces of the rapper's army-bashing song from the Internet -- and they swear ... it won't come anywhere near Soulja's new album.


A rep for Soulja's management team, Debby Coda, tells TMZ, both the rapper's management and his record label have been working nonstop since Friday to take the video down off the Internet.


Debby tells us, the song "Let's Be Real" was hastily and foolishly posted to the Internet -- and was never approved for any album, including his upcoming "Respect My Hustle."


Debby insists, the song will never be available for purchase.


We're told Soulja is willing to do whatever he can to make up for the song -- which contains the lyric "f**k all the army troops" -- including free shows for the military, and meet-and-greet sessions.


As we previously reported, Soulja has apologized for the song, blogging, "I Am Deeply Sorry To All Members Of The United States Military Services And Their Families."

Kurt Angle -- The PROOF I Wasn't Too Drunk to Drive


Wrestling superstar Kurt Angle says his blood alcohol level was WAY under the legal limit when he was arrested for drunk driving this weekend ... and now TMZ has a police document that seems to back up his story.


We've obtained the Certificate of Blood Alcohol Analysis ... issued by the State of Virginia ... which shows Kurt's B.A.C. was .06 at the time of his arrest. The legal limit in VA is .08.


The TNA Wrestling champ has released a statement on the matter ... saying, "I did not believe my driving behavior was reckless or otherwise improper."


He adds, "I fully cooperated with the officer who clearly recognized me while performing his standard procedures. Subsequent to the stop, I was asked to submit to a breathalyzer test and passed. I do not believe that I broke any laws and will be entering a plea of not guilty in response to any pending charges."


As TMZ previously reported, troopers pulled over Angle's car after receiving a tip from another motorist ... who claimed the wrestler was driving erratically.


Angle explains, "I was returning from an iMPACT Wrestling show in an unfamiliar place, late at night and was trying to find the exit for my hotel."

Rachel Uchitel: I'm SUING Over 9/11 Story


Rachel Uchitel is livid over a news article that implies she's happy her fiance died during 9/11 -- she's so mad she plans to sue.


Page Six Magazine ran a story this morning in which Rachel allegedly said, "I believe Andy [my fiance] was meant to die because he was too good."


And Page Six went on -- "It would have been tragic if we got into fights and then divorced ... I'm glad I didn't get to see any flaws that time brings on everyone. I would [otherwise] be a fat housewife with three kids living in Sands Point, Long Island."


Rachel tells TMZ, she was not only misquoted, but the quotes were taken wholly out of context.  Rachel tells us, "I would have loved nothing more than to be Andy's housewife," and she says that was the centerpiece of what she told Page Six.


Rachel says she's lawyered up and plans to sue both Page Six Magazine and the New York Post.

'Last Dragon' Star -- SHOT TWICE In NY Gun Attack


Leo O'Brien
-- the actor who played Bruce Leroy's little brother Richie in 1985's "The Last Dragon" -- was rushed to a hospital yesterday after being shot TWICE in broad daylight ... TMZ has learned.


It all went down in Harlem, NY when a gunman opened fire on the 40-year-old actor at 11:50 AM -- striking O'Brien once in the stomach and once in the left arm.


Witnesses called 911 -- and after O'Brien was transported to a nearby hospital, cops arrested a 50-year-old male suspected of pulling the trigger.


Law enforcement sources tell us ... the suspect was booked for attempted murder and criminal possession of a firearm.

Dr. Murray Wants to Bar Testimony Casting Doubt On Swallowing Propofol


Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyers want to ban a prosecution medical expert from testifying that ingesting Propofol would not trigger a fatal reaction.


TMZ broke the story months ago ... the defense will argue ... a frustrated Michael Jackson accidentally killed himself by either ingesting or injecting himself with a fatal dose of Propofol when Dr. Murray left the room.


Prosecutors intend to call Dr. Steven Schafer, who embraces two studies which allegedly conclude a patient can't die from orally ingesting the drug.


In one of the studies, 6 Chilean students volunteered to drink Propofol -- and they survived just fine.


Another study produced the same results, but the patients were pigs -- real pigs.


Dr. Murray's team claims the studies are hearsay, because Dr. Schafer wasn't part of the tests.


Judge Michael Pastor has not ruled on the objection.

Al Michaels SLAMS Al Davis -- He's Killing the Raiders


The Oakland Raiders will never EVER win another Super Bowl as long as the owner Al Davis is alive and breathing ... so says legendary "Sunday Night Football" announcer Al Michaels.


Al was leaving Boa Restaurant in Hollywood last night, when our photog -- a HUGE Raiders fan -- asked point blank, "Are we ever going to win a Super Bowl while Al Davis is still alive."


Michaels' response -- "NO."


FYI -- Davis is an NFL Hall of Famer who is largely credited with merging the AFL with the NFL ... and transforming the league into the POWERHOUSE it is today. But in the past decade, he's come under some serious fire ... because the Raiders are terrible.


Still, when we asked Michaels if he considered Davis a genius, he told us, "If you had a team that lost 11 or more games in SEVEN consecutive years, would you say a genius ran the team?"


No, we would not.

Charlotte loves Chanel: Stylish Monaco royal at Paris Fashion Week

06 JULY 2011

She turned heads in a pale pink satin Chanel dress at the Monaco royal wedding.


And five days later, Charlotte Casiraghi reaffirmed her love affair with the luxury French brand when she turned up at Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris.


The striking royal took a front row seat to watch as Karl Lagerfeld unveiled his new creations for the label in the city's vast glass Grand Palais.




It's likely that Charlotte's invitation was extended by the man himself – Karl is a close friend of the Monagasque royal family, and was one of several celebrity guests at Prince Albert and Princess Charlene's recent nuptials.


Dressed in a sexy black sequinned mini dress, and with a slick of red lipstick, the 24-year-old beauty was joined at the show by fellow fashion enthusiast Tatiana Santo Domingo.


The long-term love of Charlotte's elder brother Andrea, Tatiana, 27, has been a close friend of Charlotte's since the start of her royal romance in 2005.


Other famous guests at the Chanel show included hot Hollywood couple Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson, and, fresh from Kate Moss' nuptials, photographer Mario Testino, who enjoyed an animated chat with Charlotte.


Milla Jovovich and her husband of nearly two years, director Paul W S Anderson, put in a loved-up appearance, while stylish TV beauty Alexa Chung took the opportunity to catch up with the equally fashionable British model Poppy Delevigne.

Bumping along nicely: Carla Bruni on holiday

05 JULY 2011

Since rumours began that she's expecting, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has been careful to cover her midriff with loose fitting clothes that would disguise her condition.


But there was no diguising the obvious as she holidayed in the South of France with her husband, French President  Nicolas Sarkozy this week.


The model-turned-singer looked healthy and happy as she strolled along beside the sea with her beloved.


After walking hand-in-hand to a secluded beach in Bormes Les Mimosas, the two went for a peaceful swim in the Mediterranean. 




Pal Sarkozy, the President's father, let the pregancy news slip to a German newspaper in May. The ecstatic grandfather-to-be revealed that the couple do not wish to know the sex of the baby.


He is sure, however that his granchild will be a girl "as beautiful as Carla."

Emma's final magic trick - a scene-stealing mini for Potter photocall

07 JULY 2011 The end is in sight for millions of Harry Potter fans as the last film in the series gets ready for its world premier.


Thousands have camped out overnight in Trafalgar Square, central London, with fans coming from as far afield as Canada and Sweden ahead of the first screening of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part II.


Meanwhile, the many from the cast gathered at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel to pose for one final pre-film photocall.



 

While all the cast looked sharp, Emma Watson stole the show in a short, black, lacy dress. The star completed the look with towering heels and a chic hairstyle.


The stars of the eight film saga have recently been opening up to the media about their experiences over the years.


At a press conference on Wednesday night, Emma Watson said playing Harry's sidekick Hermione Granger had changed her life.


"Hermione's been like my sister. She feels so real to me," the 22-year-old actress admitted. "I will miss being her. That is devastating. She has pushed me and made me a better person."


But Ralph Fiennes has revealed he could not wait to take off Lord Voldemort's heavy robes. The Oscar-nominated actor said: "It was an irritating costume to wear - it was too long and sometimes I would trip over."


Rupert Grint had been dreading his highly-anticipated kiss with co-star Emma. He described the filming as "really weird" because they had known each other for so long.


He told Daybreak: "It sounds crazy because of course she's lovely and I'm sure loads of guys are just really jealous, but it just really felt weird for some reason.


"Just because I've known her for so long - since she was like nine years old." 


Rupert  also confessed all three of the film's main stars burst into tears as they filmed the final scenes in the long-running series.


He said: "We kind of knew it was coming and building up to that final week, and yes, it was just like ten years - my whole childhood - came down to this tiny little scene and that was it.


"It was really sad, we all cried. It was kind of seeing Dan and then Emma cry that triggered me, and it was kind of this weird mix of emotions really - it's hard to describe."


Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert and Emma are expected to attend the premiere. As are dozens of other regulars including Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Tom Felton and Alan Rickman.


Fans, many of them dressed as wand-wielding characters from the series, could be in for a stormy time as the film looks set to make its debut in traditional fashion - to the accompaniment of thunder and rain.


Its stars have got used to squelching along the red carpet after being caught in a succession of torrential downpours before premieres in London's Leicester Square.


The 2009 premiere of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince saw soaked stars Rupert , Daniel and Emma posing for pictures in the pouring rain while fans sheltered under Harry Potter umbrellas.


The same thing happened in 2007 at the first night of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.


Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square will be transformed by a touch of Potter wizardry for the day. The road joining the two sites will be transformed into Diagon Alley - the high street which is home to shops selling the latest in magic for Harry and his fellow wizards.


The film goes on general release on July 15.

Kate and Jamie thank locals after marathon wedding

04 JULY 2011 Newlyweds Kate Moss and Jamie Hince made a grand exit when they were air-lifted out of the Cotswolds by helicopter. 

The cover girl's going away outfit was a cream Stella McCartney suit.





And the wedding after-party was a massive success - many of the A-list guests celebrated until the early hours of the morning.


The best 'man', Jamie's female bandmate Alison Mosshart (below), also entertained the crowd with the traditional speech that sufficiently embarrassed the groom.



Despite the lack of sleep, friends such as Jude Law (below), Sadie Frost, Jade Jagger and Meg Mathews made it for lunch as the wedding weekend came to a close.  

They met the groom at The Swan pub in nearby Southrop the following day.



Kate and Jamie's wedding was an affair that lasted three days.

Grateful for the patience of locals over the celebration dubbed 'Moss-stock', the couple had a bottle of Moet champagne delivered to each household in their village.


Although the price of the marathon celebration has not been released, it's estimated to have cost around £1 million.


The location of the honeymoon also remains unknown.


It's reported that the happy couple were headed either to Africa or Thailand for an adventurous getaway.

Conquering Canada the Cambridge way

02 JULY 2011

Wherever they go the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge win over those they meet with their charm.


The rapturous reception they've received across the Atlantic is testament to their universal appeal.


But it's not just the couple's approachability, or even Kate's sartorial style, that's made them such a hit.


The newlyweds are clearly very much in love and more than anything enjoy spending time in each other's company as was clear at Friday's Canada Day concert.




Despite joining some 100,000 people on Parliament Hill for the music event, the happy couple only had eyes for each other.


They exchanged loving glances as they smiled and applauded the pop acts, and frequently leant in to make comments to one another.


William and his wife enjoyed the concert for half an hour before leaving to attend a private event.


Kate looked radiant in a vibrant purple Issa jersey dress, which she teamed with black satin court shoes and a matching clutch bag.


She was still sporting the glittering marple leaf brooch lent her by the Queen for the tour.


Prince William looked dapper in a navy suit and a crisp white shirt.


Their stay in Ottawa is just the beginning of the nine-day North America tour in which they will visit several cities across the Commonwealth nation and its neighbour.

Prince cooks up a storm with a souffle lesson

03 JULY 2011 You don't become a top flight search and rescue pilot without having a competitive side.

And it seems Prince William, a Sea King helicopter operator, found it hard to leave his behind – even in a cooking class.


On his tour of Canada with the Duchess of Cambridge, the royal participated in what he described as a 'souffle-off' with Quebec's Premier Jean Charest.


The Prince was invited to try his hand at making a lobster souffle at the Institut de tourisme et d’hotellerie du Quebec, a top chef school.


Comparing his effort with the politician's, he boasted: "Much better! This one is mine."


William, who donned chef's whites for the culinary test, went on to tease his host with a terrible pun.


"If you could rise to the challenge that would be great," he told him.

Sporty spice: Geri Halliwell makes a splash in Sardinia as she holidays with Henry

05 JULY 2011

Coasting along the Mediterranean sea, Geri Halliwell is clearly no amateur when it comes to riding the waves.


The 38-year-old, currently on holiday in Sardinia with beau Henry Beckwith, impressed with her water skiing skills as she headed out of the coast of Porto Cervo this week.


Showing real determination and balance, Geri managed to stay upright as she sped through the surf, pulled along by a motor boat.


The fun was captured on video camera by aristocrat Henry, who was later filmed by Geri as he tried his hand at the water sport.




Not content to just lounge around on their holiday, the couple got things moving the previous day with a round of mini golf in the grounds of their luxury hotel.


And it wasn't just Geri's putting prowess on display – so too was her tanned and toned figure, showcased in a white floral bikini.


The mum-of-one and Henry, 32, arrived in the Sardinian resort of Porto Cervo last week.


They are staying at the same hotel visited by Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy last month on their pre-wedding holiday.


Last month, Geri enjoyed three weeks in San Tropez with her four-year-old daughter Bluebell.


She and Henry – cousin of socialite Tamara Beckwith - enjoyed a winter break in Miami in February and in January headed to the slopes for a snowboarding break in the French Alps.


The couple have been dating since March 2009, following Geri's brief engagement to Italian tycoon Fabrizio Politi.

Caring couple make surprise visit to fire-ravaged town

The caring Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made a surprise visit on Wednesday to a town almost entirely reduced to ashes by forest fires two months ago.

'We're hoping to start a family,' admits broody Duchess

04 JULY 2011 The Duchess of Cambridge is seen stopping to admire a gorgeous toddler during a walkabout in Quebec City.

She was offered a bouquet by the two-year-old daughter of British expat David Cheater.


Kate smiled at the youngster named Raffaela and laid a hand on her head, telling her father: “What a beautiful daughter you have”.


And when David wished the duchess luck in her own efforts to start a family, she thanked him, adding: “Yes, I hope to”.


She was clad in her first outfit of the day, a nude-hued Vanessa dress by Joseph paired with her trusty nude platforms.


It is the first time Kate has spoken publicly about having children, although shortly after Prince William proposed, he revealed that they plan on starting a family.


The walkabout came on day four of their official North American tour, after they donned chef’s whites for a cookery lesson in Montreal.


And the pair later attended a Freedom of the City Ceremony outside City Hall.


William was met with warm applause when he gave a short speech in French, thanking his audience for their “patience" with his accent, and promising to return. 


The next stop was a project for young homeless people.


Kate had made a quick outfit change into an Erdem number. The electric blue Jacquenta dress featured floral lace applique across the shoulders and sleeves and a split skirt. 


She accessorised with nude patent platform shoes and a matching mock-croc clutch bag.


It was the second time she'd worn a design by the Canadian-born British creator. On arrival in Ottawa last week, the Duchess was in a lacy number of his that also won plaudits. 


At the drop in centre the couple managed to win themselves another fan - a punk with blue and green hair named Pierre.


A circus skills student, he was thrilled when the Duke described his juggling as “awesome”.


The 24-year-old, who was living on the streets before the centre helped him find a home, was eager to praise the newlyweds, saying it was “special to meet them, a privilege”.


They were shown around the centre by Steven, 21, who wore a bullet through his earlobe.


Competitive Prince William took Steven on in a game of table football, shouting “Come on the claret and blue”, in a reference to Aston Villa, the football team he supports.

George is not gay - he just won't get married - says close friend

07 JULY 2011

Since George Clooney's split with Elisabetta Canalis, rumours have been flying about the reason for the break up.


Some of the sniping has even gone as far as suggesting that the relationship was nothing more than a publicity stunt.



The most lurid accusation is that the romance was a cover up for a secret life. 


Now, George's friends have had enough and one has spoken out.


Manuele Malenotti, who owns clothing firm Belstaff, says the couple were very much for real, and broke up for the simple reason that George did not want to get married and have children.


"I can tell you George is not gay," he told Italian magazine Chi.


"I have known George for ten years, I have spent a lot of time with him and a lot of women have passed through his life."


On the subject of Elisabetta, he says: "I know about their relationship because I was the one who got them together."


"George wanted to meet Elisabetta and he asked me to make the introductions.


"I did as he asked but inside I always knew that it wouldn't last – to be honest I was expecting it.


"You will have to ask them for all the specific reasons.


"All I can say is that George, when it comes to love, has decided that he is not going to get married again and he is not going to have any children and he won't change his mind."


Manuele, (pictured below with another of Geroge's exes Lisa Snowdon) says Elisabetta and the actor had an intense romance.



"To suggest it was a publicity stunt is a lie," he says.


"I introduced them, I saw them together and I can say that their love story was very intense. In two years they shared numerous moments.


"He opened the doors of his life to her, introducing her to his friends and family. I totally exclude that it was all made up."


After the couple's split, Elisabetta headed home to her native Sardina for some time out of the spotlight.


This week she sparked rumours she may have already moved on – back into the arms of a former love.


Pictures surfaced of the 32-year-old model and TV presenter holidaying on a yacht off the Amalfi Coast with her ex-boyfriend Angelo Vita.

Blooming lovely: Marriage and impending motherhood agree with Lily

07 JULY 2011

Our first glimpse of Lily Allen's baby bump came on her wedding day.


Her proud new husband Sam Cooper announced to delighted guests that the star was more than 12 weeks along.


And if Lily's big smile wasn’t enough of a confirmation, her burgeoning tummy, just visible beneath her lace bridal gown, certainly was.


One month later and the singer's figure is blossoming.




Lily was spotted on a shopping trip at the Dolce and Gabbana store in London this week.


Barefaced and glowing with a natural beauty, she looked radiant as she stepped out in an embroidered white smock tunic.


The beaming 25-year-old protectively placed her hand over her tummy on the shopping excursion.


Lily's joy is all the more poignant, coming months after the tragic loss of her unborn baby boy, six months into a previous pregnancy.


But now she is clearly enjoying the road to motherhood – as well as married life with Sam.

Fans tweet congratulations to Victoria, but there is no baby yet

05 JULY 2011

It had been widely thought that Victoria Beckham would welcome her new baby on July 4, by Caesarean section.


And on Monday fans took to Twitter to send congratulations to the former Spice Girl on the birth of her daughter.



Rumours were even flying around that the new arrival had been named Felicity and weighed in at 5lbs 8oz.


But the reports were wide of the mark.


David Beckham's publicist Simon Oliveira stepped in to set the story straight.


"Contrary to certain reports, David and Victoria Beckham's baby is not due today and that was never the case," he tweeted on Monday.


No date has been confirmed, but the baby is expected to be born in LA in the next week or so.


Meanwhile Victoria, who has been keeping a low profile in the last few months, has ruled out any naked photo shoots to show off her figure during pregnancy.


"I'm not really one of those people that likes to go out and pose and flaunt being pregnant," she said.


"Not like there's anything wrong in that.


"I'm so proud to be pregnant and I feel so blessed and so happy, I really do. 


"But I'm just not that kind of person. So, no, I won't be taking my clothes off.



"I don't think anyone needs to see that, other than my husband. Absolutely not."


While her bump hasn't been on show, Victoria's baby can expect to attract attention from day one following the news that  former Spice Girl has already stocked her wardrobe.


"I love the French clothes for little girls. I like little girls to look like little girls," the 37-year-old told Women's Wear Daily.


Her footballer husband David has also enjoyed seeing his daughter's wardrobe take shape.


"It's a whole new different thing for us. To have so much pink in the house, lilac in the house, and dresses," he told the Daily Mirror. 


"All the clothes are ready, the room's ready. We're really excited."


Singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria intends to balance motherhood with her career.


"As any working mum out there knows, it really is like juggling glass balls when you've got the kids and a husband to look after, and you're passionate about your career," she says.

Cheryl Cole spotted kissing her ex Ashley at birthday

04 JULY 2011 She told Piers Morgan that a part of her would always love her husband, despite his betrayal.

And it seems Cheryl Cole might be ready to forgive Ashley Cole and let him back into her life.




The Chelsea footballer was spotted kissing his former wife at her 28th birthday party on Friday, and he has told his friends he intends to remarry her.


They apparently spent the night together after the Geordie beauty's party at London's Sanderson hotel, which is said to have cost £20,000.


Fellow guests included Cheryl's Girls Aloud bandmates Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh and her pal from the Black Eyed Peas, Will.i.am.


According to reports, Cheryl - who looked pretty in a Stella McCartney dress and new blonde hairstyle – started secretly dating Ashley again three months ago.


They resumed contact long before her unsuccessful stint as a judge of the American X Factor, covertly meeting at his brother Matty's house.


Then after she returned to Britain, the pop star spent the night at their former marital home Godalming, Surrey.


A source told The Daily Mirror: "They got back together because they want children and they could not live without each other."



"They've never been happier.


"Ashley has got his wife back, and this time it’s for keeps.


"He has learned from his mistakes and knows he messed up but he’s promised Cheryl he will change."


It's been nine months since the couple divorced. Back then, the singer spoke about the end of her marriage during an emotional interview with Piers Morgan.


"Looking back on it, I feel numb. We had a great marriage and a fantastic wedding day but I don't know where it went wrong," she told the interviewer.


Visibly upset, she added: "I just don’t have the answers. None. He was my best friend and we were so happy. Our marriage was so strong.


"Part of me will always love him. We used to be so close but I was heartbroken."

Besotted Nicole and Keith thrilled with family life

06 JULY 2011 There's no place like home, or so the saying goes.

Certainly, a trip back to their motherland seems to have left Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban on top of the world.




The couple couldn't have looked happier as they arrived at Sydney airport with their two adorable girls Faith and Sunday Rose.


Proud mum Nicole – elegant for the flight back to the US in cream trousers, a camel-hued trench and snakeskin boots - showered six-month-old baby Faith in kisses and cuddles.


The little girl – who seems to have inherited her mum's auburn hair - was cute as a button in a pink two-piece and white booties.



Keith, meanwhile, took charge of Sunday – equally adorable in a green, patterned dress - leading her by the hand into the airport.


During their time back in Australia, the couple had an early birthday party at Nicole's parents' house for the toddler, who turns three on July 7.


Keith has a concert booked in Pennsylvania on his daughter's actual birthday.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife Maria files for divorce

02 JULY 2011 Six weeks after Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed he had fathered a child out of wedlock, his wife Maria Shriver has filed divorce papers to end their 25-year marriage.


The former television journalist cited irreconcilable differences, but offered no additional details about the break up.


She didn't list the date of the separation, although it became public knowledge on May 9.


A week later, the former California governor and one-time action star admitted he fathered a child with their housekeeper Mildred Baena 13 years ago.


The filing, which Maria signed nearly two weeks ago, signals an end to a union that began with a fairytale wedding on a spring day in 1986 in Cape Cod.



The couple do not appear to have had a premarital agreement.


That means the actor's earnings from his Hollywood career, which allowed him to forgo a salary as governor and commute by private jet to Sacramento, will probably be evenly divided with his estranged wife. 


Maria is seeking spousal support but any amount would be determined later, either through a settlement agreement or by a judge. The divorce is expected to be handled mostly behind closed doors.


Maria, a member of America's historical Kennedy family, has received a lot of support from A-list friends and from those she's met through her philanthropic work.

"The bottom line is we still have a missing person," Qualters said. "Our efforts to find Lauren will not stop."

Lauren’s father, Robert Spierer said, "Get the courage to come forward to tell us anything you know, no matter how small or insignificant you may think it to be," he said. "Please come forward."
