Georgia Salpa shows off her sexy curves in Marbs

16 May

Less than two weeks ago, she ended up at an impressive No.5 on the top 100 list of Sexiest Women In The World.

So as she holidays in Spain, model Georgia Salpa is showing exactly why she ended up so high on the FHM list.

Spending the day at the Nikki Beach Club in Marbella, the Greek-Irish beauty showed off her famous assets in a tiny white bikini.

Wearing a white fedora to shield herself from the hot midday sun, the 27-year-old arrived in pair of denim shorts before stripping down to her two-piece.

With the white cotton broderie anglais style of the bikini, onlookers could be forgiven for thinking she was wearing her underwear to the beach.

Salpa arrived in Marbella over the weekend to celebrate her 27th birthday on Monday after previously visiting Venice.

Perhaps Salpa had been told about Marbella, aka Marbs, by her new Essex friends.

After a flirtation with Kirk Norcross in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Salpa has been introduced to some of his former The Only Way Is Essex co-stars and has been seen partying with them in London and the Home County.

And as fans of the ITV2 show will know, their beloved Marbs is an annual pilgrimage for the TOWIE gang.

Although Kirk’s crush on Georgia didn’t come to anything on Big Brother, the model admitted she prefers Englishmen to Irishmen.

She said: ‘I think English boys are more ballsy.

‘They’ll actually come up and ask you out. In Ireland, I don’t get asked out much. English boys are a lot more flirty.’

18-year-old-girl arrested after ‘setting her cheating ex-boyfriend’s bed on fire

11 May

An 18-year-old girl has been charged with attempted murder after she sent her ex-boyfriend’s bed on fire while he was sleeping.

Jacqueline Rivera is alleged to have poured gasoline on the bed after breaking into the home.

Prosecutors said she had been told her ex had cheated on her and had carried out the revenge attack.

Her ex-boyfriend woke up at his home in Redwood City, California, to find his bed on fire.He screamed for his father who managed to put the flames out with a garden hose, Sfgate.com reported.

The boyfriend, who has not been named, suffered minor burns on his arms and hands.

Police said Rivera, who had fled from the scene, later turned up at the ex-boyfriend’s home to talk ‘about their relationship’.

According to prosecutors Rivera and the 21 year old had dated for several months.

She later discovered that her boyfriend had cheated on her.

Rivera first tried to talk with her ex after knocking on his bedroom window at 2am, but was sent away.

She returned an hour later said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe but was again dismissed.

Around 5.45am Wagstaffe said the boyfriend woke up to find his bed in flames.

The victim later told authorities he did not alert police or fire because he believed Rivera was responsible but didn’t think he could prove it, Wagstaffe said.He also said a plastic bottle left near the bed smelled of gasoline, Wagstaffe said.

Two weeks after the bed burning incident he received a text message from a friend of Rivera who said she was responsible.

The friend contacted police and Rivera was arrested at her home.

Rivera was charged with attempted murder, arson and residential burglary.

She did not enter a plea when appearing in court and bail was set at $500,000.

Rivera faces 10 to 15 years in jail if convicted.

Jessica Simpson ‘sells first pictures of baby Maxwell for $800k’

11 May

Jessica Simpson is said to have sold pictures of her newborn baby to an American magazine for $800,000.

The star, whose celebrity fashion line is reported to have raked in one billion dollars in sales, gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Maxwell Drew, on May 1.

People magazine has done a deal with the Fashion Star judge to run exclusive photos, sources told Women’s Wear Daily.

It is significantly less that some other stars received for baby pictures – Jennifer Lopez is understood to have received $6 million from People for snaps of her twins.

The same publication reportedly gave Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt around $11 million for the exclusive on their twins Vivienne and Knox.

Of course, not all A-list celebrities demand high fees – Beyoncé and Jay-Z declined all offers and instead posted the first pictures of Blue Ivy Carter on their Tumblr page.

It seems Jessica may be set to cash in on another front too – there are also unconfirmed reports that she is signing a $4 million deal with Weight Watchers.

Jessica is certainly enjoying motherhood, telling her Twitter followers this week: ‘I am so in love with baby Maxwell. I want to cry every time I look at her.’

She added: ‘Motherhood is by far the best thing I’ve ever experienced.’

Jessica is currently engaged to Maxwell’s father, sportsman Eric Johnson.

Demi Moore finds her new Twitter handle, sheds married moniker

4 May

Demi Moore finally settled on a new Twitter handle, letting go of the @mrskutcher name that she used to grow popular on the social networking site.

After announcing her split from Ashton Kutcher last November, the actress left Twitter for a while. But she recently resurfaced and asked for help in determining a new handle. As of today, Moore decided that her followers will now know her as “justdemi.”

“So hard finding a name that was fun somewhat playful and available. So for now it will be @justdemi It could grow on me!” she wrote on her account.

It sounds like Ms. Moore is flexible about her choice — so it could change again. And for a woman who still goes by her first husband’s last name, we’re surprised she made such a big deal about what she’s called on Twitter.

Although we are still hoping she’ll change her mind and go with @theexmrswillis.

 

Carlina Duran, Miss Dominican Republic, Stripped of Crown Due to Secret Marriage

27 Apr

Carlina Duran, a 25-year-old stunner who was recently crowned Miss Dominican Republic 2012, has been forced to relinquish her crown she held so dearly.

The reason is simple: She’s married and didn’t disclose it.

Duran was given the boot as Miss DR after pageant officials say she violated a rule which requires all contestants to be single at the time of the event. Seriously.

Duran, who owns a spa in Santo Domingo and comes from the town of La Vega, violated the rule that no contestant can have been married or have had a child.

According to reports, Carlina has been married since 2009 and never told anyone about it. She has still not commented on being outed as a better half.

Dominican newspaper Diario Libre reports that a marriage license shows she wed on June 6, 2009. Why should that matter? Your guess is as good as ours.

The crown now goes to the 1st runner-up, Dulcita Lieggi.

JWoww’s colorful dogs prompt PETA response

3 Apr

After walking around downtown Jersey City on Wednesday, Jenni “JWoww” Farley picked up her two dogs, Bella and Noel, from their stay at K9dergarten.

But the two dogs, who have stolen the show in JWoww’s spin-off with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, came out with their own new look – pink and blue.
The two white dogs pranced down the street, with dyed shoes and outfits coloring their fur. The duo may have thought it was a fashion statement, but the new look prompted PETA to issue a statement saying dying fur causes unnatural stress for the animals.

“Dyeing a companion animal’s fur causes the animal stress and can lead to complications or allergic reactions that endanger the animal’s health,” a rep for PETA told news outlets. ”Our dogs and cats love us regardless of how we look; we should extend the same kindness to them.”

PETA has been vocal against dyeing furs, including a push to ban a law in Florida that would allow dyeing. Dyeing fur is illegal in 20 states.

“Blue and pink bunnies and chicks may appeal to children, who will pester their parents to purchase them, but dyeing these small animals can be a death sentence for the animals as every humane agency in the country well knows,” says PETA Vice President Daphna Nachminovich.

PETA said allowing people to dye animals sends a message that animals are toys or accessories instead of living, breathing beings who need care.

Even with the latest attention, the dogs have stolen the show that the two have been filming in Jersey City, with constant stops to pet stores and even Snooki working at the K9dergarten groomers for a day.

Sarah Jones, Former NFL Cheerleader & High School Teacher, Accused of Sexually Abusing Student

3 Apr

Sarah Jones, a high school teacher and a one-time captain of the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals cheerleaders (the Ben-Gals, if you will) has been accused of sex abuse.

She and her mother, a middle school principal who allegedly covered up the crime, both entered pleas of not guilty during their arraignment on Monday.

Sarah Jones has been charged with sexual abuse of a student, on top of unlawful use of electronic means to induce a minor to engage in sexual activities.

Jones’ mother, Cheryl, is accused of tampering with evidence in connection with her daughter’s case. Cheryl is currently suspended from her job.

Both Sarah and Cheryl were arrested following a grand jury investigation.

At the courthouse Monday the pair was joined by a dozen supporters, including the family of the alleged victim, according to ABC News affiliate WCPO.

Though the alleged victim’s family supports Sarah Jones, Jefferson County Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Sarah Farmer said the case would continue.

“The commonwealth feels we have sufficient proof to go forward,” Farmer said.

At the arraignment, Judge Patricia Summe ordered Sarah and Cheryl Jones to avoid contact with the alleged victim and to disable text messaging.

Forensic evidence for the case, taking place in Kenton County, Ky., was collected by taking Sarah Jones’ computers and phone records.

The trial date for both Sarah and Cheryl Jones was set for June 27.

T.I., Taylor Swift perform surprise duet in Ga.

3 Oct

Rapper T.I. has joined country star Taylor Swift in a surprise duet at her concert in Atlanta.

Toward the end of Swift’s set on Sunday night, she introduced T.I. by singing the opening chorus of his hit song “Live Your Life.” The packed house at Philips Arena screamed once he stepped onstage for the unannounced appearance and started to rap.

The two Grammy winners stood side-by-side as he rapped and she sang a vocal part originally handled by Rihanna. Swift has featured guests ranging from Justin Bieber to Nicki Minaj onstage during her tour. The Sunday show was a makeup performance for a postponed July show.

T.I. has made several appearances since his release from a halfway house last month following 10 months in federal prison on a probation violation.

Rihanna bought a leaky mansion

2 Sep

Rihanna bought a leaky mansion, and she’s not going to sop up the mess and forget all about it. The singer is suing her house’s former owner, claiming she misrepresented the condition of the Beverly Hills home when she sold it to Rihanna for $6.9 million in 2009.

Rihanna is also suing the real estate agent involved in the home’s sale, the inspectors who said that it was “serviceable” before she bought it, and engineers involved in the home’s 2007 to 2008 overhaul. The singer’s beef with the residence began in January, 2010, when a “moderate rainstorm” caused a lot of unexpected water damage from leaks that had previously gone undetected. (Make “Umbrella” jokes at your leisure.)

In documents filed with the L.A. County Superior Court, Rihanna claims that “the actual value of the property at the time of purchase, taking into consideration the extensive construction defects … was millions of dollars less” than she paid for it. Sounds like a real mess.
