911 Call From Mike Tyson's Daughter's Tragic Accident

Here's the dramatic transcript from the mother of Mike Tyson’s daughter to a 911 dispatcher. Exodus Tyson died tragically on Tuesday after she was found hanging from a treadmill by its power cable.

The transcript, obtained by TMZ, from the 911 call details the mother's - who is said to be 34-year-old Sol Xochitl (pictured) - frantic attempts to resuscitate Exodus by performing CPR, while the dispatcher sends help and tries to keep the mother talking and on the phone. The transcript ends as paramedics arrive at the scene and begin to help the little girl.

Free Sex-Change Operations in Cuba!

A year after a ban was lifted, Cuba plans to soon start performing sex-change operations, the president's daughter said Wednesday.

Mariela Castro, a sexologist and gay rights advocate, said she has identified 19 transsexuals ready to have the procedure. (Thirty transsexuals have solicited the operations.)

In comments to a health conference that were aired on state television, Castro did not say when the surgeries would begin.

The government headed by her father, President Raul Castro, would pick up the tab.

The first successful sex-change operation was performed on the island in 1988, but subsequent procedures were prohibited.

The Health Ministry authorized the operations last year, but none has been performed since.

Some Cubans protested the reversal of the ban, either because of general opposition to the procedure or for its high costs for a developing country with economic problems.

Mariela Castro, who runs Cuba's Center for Sex Education, said she supports the lifting of a ban on lesbians being artificially inseminated.

Eve Denies Dissing Chris Brown

When we peeped Eve's Twiiter page on Wednesday and read all the grease she threw at Chris Brown following his first public comments since allegedly putting the beatdown on his on-again/off-again girlfriend Rihanna, we purposely declined to publish it, because we knew better.

Now, Eve has officially come out and denied making those statements (read 'em below).

In a short statement posted on GlobalGrind, the former rapper said: "I Don't Have A Twitter Page! I don’t and never have twittered."

So, there you have it! Even doesn't think Chris is a monster. Wait, she didn't tweet that she thinks he's a monster.

Newspaper Publishes Obama Death Threat as Personal Ad

Someone placed a personal ad in the Warren (Penn.) Times-Observer calling for Barack Obama's assassination. But to understand the ad you have to understand history; no one at the paper did, however. It's kind of like The Da Vinci Code.

The ad reads simply, "May Obama Follow in the Footsteps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy." Cute, right? But wait a minute-what do those great men all have in common?

Somewhere in Pennsylvania, a Hillary voter is snickering to himself.

The Times-Observer realized that they had published and distributed a call for the assassination of a sitting U.S. president, and now the feds are investigating.

Said the paper:

Upon realizing the mistake early Thursday morning, the ad was immediately discontinued and the identity of the person who placed the ad was turned over to Warren City Police as per newspaper policy. The local police department forwarded the information to federal authorities, as per department policy.

Anna Wintour Refuses to Put Rihanna on Cover of Vogue Because of Nude Photos

Rihanna maybe working the catwalks of NYC, dodging in and out of recording studios around the world and attending acting classes, but don't expect her to cover the Holy Grail of fashion magazines - Vogue.

According to Star magazine, Vogue editrix Anna Wintour was thisclose to booking Rihanna for an upcoming cover -- which would be a great look, since that magazine rarely ever put African Americans on the cover -- but then that darn Chris Brown put a wrench in that plan when he allegedly released those nude photos and Anna passed.

The magazine reports:
It could have been Rihanna’s shining moment: the cover of Vogue!

But when the nude pictures hit cyberspace, her once-in-a-lifetime chance was gone in a flash. Rihanna and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour had been talking for weeks about doing the cover and an inside spread, says a close friend of the singer, who adds that the two even chatted about it at the Met Costume Institute Gala on May 4.

“Anna told her Vogue absolutely loves her and really wanted to work with her. Rihanna was ecstatic!” But since the photos came out, says the friend, “Anna hasn’t returned any of her calls. Rihanna’s so upset!”

If this is true, then Rihanna has good reason to want to burn Chris' house down!

Phil Spector Will Spend Rest of His Life in Prison

Phil Spector was sentenced this morning to 19 years to life in prison for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson, who was shot through the mouth in the music producer's home six years ago. Spector, 69, looked straight forward and showed no emotion as Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler ordered a term of 15 years to life for second-degree murder plus four years for personal use of a gun.

Clarkson's mother, Donna, made a brief statement before sentencing, speaking of her daughter's fine qualities, sense of humor, intelligence and dedication to her craft of acting.

"I'm very proud of Lana, proud to be her mother," Donna Clarkson said. She added, "No one should suffer the loss of a child."

The judge also ordered Spector to pay $16,811 in funeral expenses, $9,740 to a state victims' restitution fund and other fees.

Spector, dressed in his customary dark pinstripe suit with a red silk tie, was led away immediately. His attorney asked that he be transferred immediately from county jail to a state prison. It was not immediately known to which prison Spector would be assigned.

Spector gained fame decades ago for what became known as the "Wall of Sound" recording technique that changed rock music.

Clarkson was most famous as the star of Roger Corman's 1985 cult film classic "Barbarian Queen." She was 40 when she died.

Kara DioGuardi Outs Adam Lambert

"American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert, who has been coyly noncommittal about his sexuality -- despite the various photos of him online kissing his a man and flaunting his new boyfriend, 24-year-old interior designer Drake LaBry about the "Idol" set -- will come out in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in next month's edition.

But "Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi beat the magazine to the punch and outed Adam - well, she just confirmed what everyone already knew - on "The View" this morning.

Barbara Walters: There are those who said that the black hair, the nail polish ... there are those who said that his sexuality may have made a difference, that younger women or whatever, feeling that he was perhaps gay, did not vote for him. Do you think that made any difference?

Kara: Well, first of all, I hope not. Because we should be judging on talent and viability in the music industry, and they both had that. Um, I don't think that Adam was ever in, so I'm ... I think he was always openly ... out.

Barbara: But did you think he was always openly out? Because that's not the perception that people have.

Kara: I think he was. From what I've seen on the ... various forms of things. I do. I never thought he ... wasn't.

[video after the jump]



PS: Remember when Miss Clay Aiken tried to diss Adam earlier this week?

Adam tells E!:
“I don’t know Clay. I’m glad he’s getting headlines now though, because he wasn’t before. If he wants to ride my coattails about it, good for him.”

Ex-'Charm School' Contestant 'So Hood' is 'So Effing Delusional'

As we've said before, "Charm School With Ricki Lake" is the most degrading - yet vastly entertaining - show on TV; we can't stop watching, which is VH1's goal. However, what we really live for are the interviews from the students who were expelled or dropped out. Which brings us to "So Hood."

This stripper has us cracking the hell up. She, like her feeble-minded friend Ki Ki, allege that the show is racist. But "So Hood", unlike anyone in reality TV before her, likens herself to Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X!

Frankly, she must have fallen and bumped her head while leaving jail, tripped while greeting her supposed fans or someone must have punched her in the face, 'cause she has lost her damn mind!

Here's the hilarious interview.

What are your thoughts about this whole ordeal?
I thought it was a bunch of bulls***. It was a wreck from Day 1. I had a feeling when I first walked in the house that something like this was going to take place. I tried to stick it out and sure enough, come the second elimination, some bulls*** happened.

What was the problem?
Ricki does not get both sides of the story. She allowed people into her office: some she invited, some requested to go see her. Basically, snitches. I never ran to her to tell her what was going on, which I guess now I should have. But I followed by the street code: no snitching. I hate snitches. So a lot of people ran to her, and she never got Ki Ki’s side of the story. I had a weird feeling when I stepped off that bus and saw Ricki there, but I really wanted to change and I went through hell and high water to get to Charm School. Ricki’s trying to teach women to be charming, but that talk show she had was not a charming show. I have no problem with it. I love trash like that. I love all these crazy, who’s-the-father DNA-type shows. But how can she teach women to be charming?

Was there anything besides Ki Ki’s elimination that pissed you off besides the fact that Ricki didn’t talk to her before eliminating her?
Ashley and Marcia were up for elimination, too. Ashley had displayed physical violence. From Day 1, Farrah and her and all those girls were ganging up on Brittaney. They threw food at that girl. They treated her like a garbage can. She may be annoying or a porn star or whatever the hell her case is. But Ashley is a stripper. Strippers and porn stars are like cousins! Who’s Ashley to poke fun at a porn star? I used to strip. I have nothing bad to say about a porn star. I’ve never done it, but I know about that business. Marcia is a flat-out drunk. She doesn’t need Charm School, she needs AA. Marcia attempted to quit the night before, but you didn’t see that. Ki Ki wanted to be there. That right there was totally unfair and at that point, I knew that Ricki could not teach me anything. I was gonna hate her everyday after that.

In the interviews shown around your departure, it seemed that you considered your leaving to be almost a political move.
Absolutely. I was told if you don’t stand for anything, you’ll fall for everything. You have to stand for something in life. I’m a fun girl, I’m a party girl. I like to take shots of whatever, but when the party’s over, and you’re trying to change…I gave up a lot of things to go to Charm School. My son went to live with his dad. I put a lot on the line. I really did make an attempt to change. I changed my outer appearance. I changed my inner appearance. I did all of that and I felt like I was in a race I couldn’t win with Ricki. She has no idea. I think people need to remember that if you’re in a situation and you feel like you don’t like it, get out of that situation. I wouldn’t have been comfortable being in that house knowing what happened, knowing that I could be on the chopping block for some he say/she say and that I wouldn’t be able to get my word across. ‘Cause if it got to that point? All f*** hell woulda went crazy. I probably would have lost my mind, so it was better that I removed myself from the situation completely. Like I said, I am the ‘09 version of Dr. Martin Luther King.

That’s quite a comparison.
I am! I know everybody’s laughing, but I feel like ‘09 is the year for change. That’s all our president talks about is change, change, change. And I’m following by that motto. I’m out here trying to put some ideas together to pitch. I think So Hood needs her version of Charm School. There’s a lot out here that I can teach. I get all these ideas from my fans. I live for them. So Hood belongs to the fans.

Bay Bay Bay tweeted about a fight between you and Brittanya. Did you get into it with her before you left?
Oh yes I did! That unstable creature is fake from head to toe. She takes those tattoos and tries to cover up them stretch marks and imperfections on her body, but I see under all of that. Brittanya and I had an issue because she was saying if anybody ever f*** with her, she would spit on them. I don’t play that s***. If you’re looking to commit suicide, that’s the best way to do it, because I will f***ing kill you if you ever spit on me. I don’t know what barn her ass was raised in if she thinks spitting on someone is OK. She kept talking about she’s got this case, she’s got this case. Well, I wanted to know more about this case. It can’t be nothing major. She’s talking about out on bail. It’s probably a few hundred dollars. I mean, who’s not out on bail? I’m out on bail! We all out on bail! I’m out on bail, too, but it’s a minor charge. She wants to take something so minor and play like it’s so big. She’s playing this tough-guy role, and I told her, “If I ever leave out these doors, you better look out.” When I was leaving, after I said, “F*** Charm School,” she was the first person I saw, and I slapped the f*** out of her, and I threw a drink on Marcia. I wanted to show them how it felt to be treated like a garbage can. I gave them a taste of their own medicine, but I don’t spit on people. That’s horrible. That’s nasty. There’s f***in’ swine flu going around here and you’re spitting on people. So, I tried to slap those piercings out of her face.

So what did she do in response?
She did not hit me back. She just went on barking at the mouth like she always does. If you didn’t know any better, you might think she’s actually tough, but I’m here to prove that she’s not. I know that was crazy, but hey, I told her. Of course, in my school, I wouldn’t teach anyone to display violence. But I was willing to go to jail for that one.

You compare yourself to Martin Luther King Jr., but you understand that he preached nonviolence, right?
That moment I was Malcolm X! But all the rest of the time I was Martin Luther King. After I was at the club this weekend, I actually got into a fight. I’m talking to you with a black eye right now.

Was it worth it?
Yeah, it definitely was. I got my first black eye. It’s a weird feeling. I guess I officially got my street cred.

You’re walking around with a black eye, though.
I had to show ‘em what I was really about. I was actually caught off guard. A fan tried to rob me. They tried to take my purse and my shoes. I’m a real woman. Real women aren’t scared of black eyes.

You were talking to your boyfriend on the show. Since you told me before that were having trouble finding a man, that’s good, right? Things are looking up in that aspect of your life?
No, he’s in jail! So of course, hello? Are we still together? No, he’s in jail. I’m back on the market. Do I not have the worst luck ever? I’m all screwed up when it comes to men.

Look at These Future Strippers Werk

Earlier this week, How You Doin' "Spectacular" from some group called Pretty Ricky - we still have no idea who he is or who the group is - was dropping like it's hot all around the Internet.

We think he picked up those moves from these aspiring strippers/video hoes. Based in Atlanta, these "classy" young ladies form a groupd called the "Twerk Team" - which consists of five girl friends making their asses clap. Not surprisingly, their videos have garnered millions of views on Youtube. We can all but assume, most of the views were done by men with their hands in their pants and tissue near by.

Lets hope this boy doesn't find these videos.

Karl Lagerfeld Trashed By Former Employee in New Tell-All Book

Arnaud Maillard describes his ex-boss Karl Lagerfeld as a "genius", but that didn't stop him from writing a scathing tell-all book called "Merci Karl!". In the book, Arnaud - who won a wrongful termination lawsuit against Karl in 2005 - dishes about his former boss owing back taxes and being a diva, a narcissist, etc.

He's an unbelievable narcissist. He needs an eternity to get ready in the morning. He takes photos of himself at every photo shoot and puts them everywhere. He surrounds himself with a kind of royal court, nobody disagrees with him. Wherever he goes, there is Pepsi-Cola in a Baccarat crystal glass waiting for him and it gets replaced every 30 minutes. It's like the 18th century....It goes beyond that. He dumps people at the drop of a dime. Lagerfeld employees have to be available 24 hours a day. He can be very generous. When I was looking for my first apartment in Paris, he discreetly slipped me an envelope that made it possible to afford. But he can also be merciless. I've seen him simply stop talking to people, stop acknowledging their existence. In the fashion industry, nobody raises their voice; they say the worst things in a very polite tone."

Candy Spelling Blames Daughter Tori for Husband's Death

In a radio interview Thursday, Candy Spelling blamed her husband Aaron's death on daughter, Tori Spelling.

Suffice it to say, Candy and Tori have been engaged in a very public feud.

During the interview on 94.7 WMAS-FM, she said: "My daughter one day decided that she wasn't speaking to my husband, myself and my son, and that's how it's continued for the last, oh gosh, four or five years. And it was sad, that's what killed my husband, actually. He just didn't want to live after that. He [had] just done everything he could possibly do for his daughter, and she wanted no part of him once he couldn't do anything for her."

Candy is sticking by her statement.

“I didn't intend to create headlines,” Candy told Radaronline. "I was asked a question about my daughter not speaking with my family, and I answered truthfully. My husband was very ill, and he had stopped eating and taking liquids. He called Tori on a daily basis, and never stopped asking if Tori had returned his call. We had to say no every day.”

Here's the audio:

'Opposite Marriage' Nutjob DRAGGED From Air Force One Kicking & Screaming

A reporter for a small newspaper was forcibly removed from a press area near Air Force One shortly before President Barack Obama arrived at Los Angeles International Airport to depart California early Thursday.

Airport security officers carried the woman away by the feet and arms as she protested her removal.

She later identified herself as Brenda Lee, a writer for the Georgia Informer in Macon and said she has White House press credentials.

Lee said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that she wanted to hand Obama a letter urging him "to take a stand for traditional marriage."

She said she asked a Secret Service agent to give the president her letter, but he refused and referred her to a White House staffer. Lee said she refused to give the staffer the letter.

"I said, 'I'll take my chances if (the president) comes by here,'" said Lee, who identified herself as a Roman Catholic priestess who lives in Anaheim, Calif. "He became annoyed that I wouldn't give him the letter."

Lee, who was wearing what she described as a cassock, said she protested when she was asked to leave.

"I said, 'Why are you bothering me?' They escorted me outside the gate," she said.

She said security officers allowed her to return when she promised she would not yell or wave, but then other officers arrived and told her to leave.

"I said, 'I'm not leaving,'" she said. "They tried to drag me out."

Two officers then picked her up and carried her out.

"I was afraid you could see under my clothes," she said, her voice choking up.

She was later released.

The incident occurred about 10 minutes before Obama arrived at the airport by helicopter to board Air Force One. He had been in Los Angeles to attend a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.

Male Student Crowned Prom Queen

Eighteen-year-old Sergio Garcia campaigned among his classmates at Fairfax Senior High School in Los Angeles, but the title he sought wasn't class vice president.

Sergio, who is gay, asked his class to vote for him as prom queen, and Saturday night he was crowned. Though his campaign started out as a bit of a stunt, according to the Los Angeles Times , it has helped to start a dialogue about gender and expression in the halls.

"I didn't really know if the school approved," Sergio said. "I thought 'Why can't I do it?' I see myself as a boy with a different personality. ... I don't wish to be a girl; I just wish to be myself."

His friends campaigned for him by passing out little pink paper tiaras to classmates. While some students told Garcia that he shouldn't "stir things up," some people changed their tune after a while, and others were encouraging through the whole campaign. Vanessa Lo, senior class president, said his win showed "how open-minded our class is," though she admitted the was initially against him running for the crown.

Unique Payne said she voted for Sergio "because [she] supports the gay community." However, 17-year-old Juan Espinoza, said his classmate should have run for prom king. Espinoza said he was worried that too many people voted for Garcia as a joke.

Nonetheless, Sergio, an aspiring choreographer and stylist, said that running for king just didn't seem quite right.

Drunk Woman Calls Wendy (effing hilarious!)

Frankly, we have no idea what's wrong with this woman; we don't think she knows what day of the week it is or where she lives.

Amex Sues Courtney Love for $352K, IRS Sues Robin Givens for $292K

American Express Co wants Courtney Love to leave home without it.

The financial services firm sued the musician in Los Angeles on Wednesday, alleging she owes more than $350,000 in unpaid charges and other fees on her AmEx Gold card.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, seeks $352,059.67 for the unpaid balance, damages, attorney's fees and late charges, and says Love's charging privileges were suspended after she "failed and refused" to make payments.

Courtney's attorney claims there are charges on her credit cards that were never made by his client.

"Amex knows the claim has no merit," Love's attorney said in a statement released to Access. "We have told them this for a long time. Amex's law policies allowed fraudulent transactions to be charged to my client's card."


Meanwhile, the U.S. government has sued the actress Robin Givens over what it says is $292,000 of unpaid federal taxes, interest and penalties as far back as 1996.

In a lawsuit filed this month, the feds asked the federal court in Tampa, Fla. to enter a formal judgment against Givens on 39 separate assessments covering eight of the 12 calendar years through 2007. Such a court finding would make it easier for the Internal Revenue Service to try to collect the allegedly unpaid amounts through garnishing her earnings or levying her assets, such as bank accounts.

According to the government lawsuit, Robin failed to pay $222,000 in federal taxes. The other $70,000 the government is demanding consists of interest and assorted penalties, including for failure to pay, underpayment of estimated tax and late filing. The pleading does not state what her total income or tax was for the years in question, nor the extent of any partial tax payments.

Robin is no stranger to trouble involving taxes. Public records show numerous state and federal tax liens against her over the years in New York, Florida and California. Many of the federal liens may be part of the new lawsuit against her. In some cases, the liens, which are claims to proceeds from real estate and other assets in the event of a sale, have been released, suggesting payments were made.

BTW: Robin plays the role of Wendy in the yet-to-be-released film Queen of Media.

As she not learned anything from: Xzibit? Method Man? Lil Kim?

What?! Is Pres Obama Dyeing His Hair Gray?

Barack Obama has definitely let the presidency go to his head - with his hair going rapidly gray since he took office in January.

Now the 47-year-old president looks more head of slate than head of state.

Obama himself admitted while on the election trail last year that he was noticing increasing numbers of gray hairs. He told supporters: "The gray is coming quick. By the time I'm sworn in, I will look the part."

Some commentators suggested that Obama might have even been sneakily coloring his hair gray to make himself look more of a veteran.

But his Chicago barber Zariff said: "It's just not true. I've been cutting his hair for 17 years and it has steadily gone grayer."

Lifetime Has Not Effed Up 'Project Runway' (yay!)

In August, Project Runway returns to the air on Lifetime instead of Bravo, after a nine-month hiatus and tangled web of legal battles.

Host Heidi Klum had envisioned a major overhaul for the show's sixth season. A different color palette for the set. New seating for the judges. A spruced-up, elongated catwalk. In a word: change. But when she first stepped onto the soundstage last fall, she almost fell over in her stilettos. Before her was an exact replica of the Manhattan set that Runway has used since 2004. Same logo. Same lighting. Same everything. ''I was shocked,'' Klum says. ''It was déjà vu. I was looking forward to different scenery, and everything was the same!''

The only thing that's different is the location: Season six was shot in Los Angeles instead of New York.

Can't wait. We're so over that trainwreck currently airing on Bravo.

Rihanna's $18,000-a-month NYC Apartment

Good news! Rihanna's fashion show will continue indefinitely as the singer is set to move to NYC this summer.

According to reports, she's close to signing an $18,000-a-month lease for a penthouse at 92 Greene Street in the Soho section of NYC. The 2,300-square-foot residence - originally listed at $22,000 a month - has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a sitting room. It has a 500-square-foot terrace, where she plans to erect a small tent to shade herself from prying eyes.


In Other News:
Rihanna may just get her chance to speak in court against Chris Brown, as she is most likely to be subpoenaed to testify during a preliminary hearing in L.A. on June 22.

Rihanna's lawyer Donald Etra told Us Magazine, "The DA told me Rihanna will be subpoenaed. I will accept on her behalf. She will appear in court, and if asked to testify, she will do so."

As for how Rihanna's holding up through all of this, the attorney says things are good in the singer's world. "She is doing fine. She is continuing with her career and moving on with her life and doing great."

On Thursday, a judge denied a motion by Chris' attorneys to see confidential police records, which they were hoping would prove that some kind of misconduct took place, which led to the leak of a battered photo of Rihanna, and could get the case dismissed. An LA Superior Court told Mark Geragos the motion was premature and he could file it again after the preliminary hearing.

Sources say it is still unlikely that this case will go to trial -- Chris will most likely make deal instead.

Couple on Trial For Trying to Sell 5-Year-Old Girl for Sex (and an apartment)

While negotiating a price to sell her 5-year-old daughter for sex to a man who turned out to be an informant, Jennifer Richards wrote out guidelines that she would agree to during the sale, according to her testimony Thursday.

No sex act would be allowed that the child was not comfortable with. Richards would first teach the girl how to perform sex acts before the child did them. Richards would supervise the sex with the informant and the child. Richards would initially only allow oral sex between the informant and the child, but nothing further.

“Were you going to allow (the child) to dictate how this relationship progressed?” asked Block's lawyer, Jimmy Parks Jr.

“Yes,” Richards, 25, responded.

Is it appropriate for a mother to do that to her young daughter? Parks queried.

“At the time, I thought so, yes,” Richards said.

Richards testified that she wrote out the parameters without help from anyone else.

The unusual testimony closed out the government's case Thursday against Richards' former boyfriend, Sean Michael Block. Prosecutors rested after the FBI agent leading the investigation testified. The defense called just one witness, a computer expert, then rested.

Closing arguments are expected Thursday afternoon before Senior U.S. District Judge Harry Lee Hudspeth.

Block, who is charged with aiding and abetting Richards in the attempted sale and a separate count of distributing child pornography, is not expected to testify.

Richards, spending the second day on the witness stand, testified that she enjoyed the “BDSM” lifestyle — the bondage, the degrading treatment, the rough sex and pushing the limits of pain for erotic stimulation — with Block, 40.

But she said she didn't like enduring pain or beatings in her everyday life. The pair met in January or February 2008 while working as servers at the Cheesecake Factory. Block was married at the time and carrying on the affair with Richards.

Richards testified that it was Block's idea to sell the 5-year-old child and that she didn't put a stop to the plans out of fear he would hit her.

On Wednesday, Richards testified that Block had a tendency to beat her, apart from their sexual role-playing. While role-playing, for instance, Richards would drink Block's urine during a “punishment” phase after being disobedient to Block.

During their relationship, the pair exchanged phone texts and online chat messages in which the two were sexually stimulated by discussing unusual sex acts. For instance, Block discussed wanting to have sex with Richards' daughter.

Eventually, Block met the FBI informant at the restaurant and offered Richards' 5-year-old after discussing the matter with Richards, according to testimony. In exchange for letting the informant “groom” the child for sex, Richards would get a used car, an apartment in Stone Oak and her bills paid, according to evidence and testimony. Block and Richards also discussed taking video and pictures of the informant to blackmail him, according to the electronic communications.

But the pair was arrested separately in August after the FBI identified the child and were able to get her and her 10-month-old sister to safety.

FBI agent Rex Miller testified that Block, under questioning by agents, seemed quite “impressed with himself” for putting the sale plan into motion.

“He said he put the wheels in motion and wanted to see how this would play out,” Miller testified.

During questioning by the agents, Block also claimed the proposed sale was part of a sting he was running and that he planned to turn over evidence to law officers. He also claimed he was running something similar to the television show “To Catch a Predator.”

According to Miller, Block was concerned on how he would appear in booking photos after his arrest.

Miller said Block chuckled while agents prepared to take his picture and process him for booking.

When one asked what was so funny, Block noted that celebrity booking photos always portrayed the celebrity as disheveled.

“He always wondered why they looked so rough," Miller said. “He was concerned that he had not had time to shave or comb his hair.”

If convicted of the sale charge, Block faces 30 years to life in prison. Richards pleaded guilty to attempting to sell the child knowing she would be used in sex acts. As part of a plea deal, she agreed to testify in hopes of shortening her prison term. She testified that the least she could get under the deal is 20 years.

Is This 'Real Housewives of NJ' Danielle Staub's Mugshot?

Tuesday night, the promo for next week's episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" said the secret to Danielle Staub's shady past could be found in an out-of-print book called Cop Without a Badge. Well, that's been tracked down and a "coke whore" named Beverly Merrill bears an awful close resemblance.

The book, about felon-turned-informant Kevin Maher, describes Merrill as an '80s coke queen who stripped for a living, and may have been naked dancing it as late as 1992. And her stripper name was, well, Danielle. When they meet at a drug dealer's party in Miami, he describes her thus:

She was brunette. Long, perfectly shaped legs poked out of her leather hot pants just as provocatively as her braless breasts strained against her low-cut blouse." And no, she wasn't wearing any underwear. After she and Maher have "explosive sex," he thinks to himself, "This is a good person. She has no morals, but she's a good person.

Beverly turns out to be a "coke whore." That's okay at first, because Maher likes coke too. But he really doesn't like her sleeping with other guys. So Maher confronts another one of her boyfriends at the Bennigan's in Saddle Brook, sticks a gun in his crotch, and makes him confess. By this time, Beverly Merrill is now dancing at various North Jersey establishments under the name Danielle. Maher, deciding he wants to have a kid but that Beverly isn't "mother material," eventually splits up with her. According to the epilogue, Maher last saw her in 1992 dancing at a club called Shakers in Carlstadt.

The book also says she was also apparently hanging out, Alpha Dog style, with a drug dealer who kidnapped a rich kid who owed him money. Plus she doesn't wear panties and has slept with more than 1,000 men.

A quick public records search shows that Danielle Staub indeed used to go by Beverly Merrill, as well as both Danielle Maher and Beverly Maher, as in the Maher who's in Cop Without a Badge. Or at least that someone with the same Social Security number went by all four names at dozens of addresses in New Jersey and Miami.

So, it's not only the husbands with alleged criminal pasts. Read two pages of the book that discuss Merrill after the jump.

Britney Ruins Designer Clothes With Period Stains (yuck!)

Britney Spears' recent Elle magazine shoot came to sticky, bloody end, according to a new report.

"They dressed her in all these beautiful couture clothes - and, well, let's just say she forgot what time of the month it was," a source tells Page Six. "It wasn't pretty."

This isn't the first time Britney has soiled borrowed clothing.

During an OK! magazine shoot in 2007, she allegedly wiped her fried chicken-stained fingers on one dress, while her dog pooped on another gown.

Jay-Z Eyeing Move to Warner Music Group After Def Jam Split

Jay-Z may be a free agent for now, but he's in talks to cut a deal with WMG/Atlantic that could make him one of the richest and most powerful men in music.

A well-placed industry source tells the Daily News that Jay - who recently left Def Jam as a recording artist (he served as its president from 2004-2007) - has been taking top-secret meetings with his old pals and former managers Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles. Topics of the hush-hush conversations have included giving Jay his own record label at WMG, tentatively to be called the Carter Music Group.

"Jay knows Lyor and Kevin from back when they all worked together at Def Jam, and he obviously wants to work something out with his friends," says an insider. "He wants to get the dream team back together. There have been a few whiffs of a reunion in the past, but only now - and very privately - is something finally starting to happen."

A source adds, "This is big in hip hop. These are three of the most powerful men in music, who might be working together, and there's no question the success they'll have as a team will be huge."

WMG Vice President Cohen and Executive Vice President Liles also attempted to convince Jay to bring his Roc Nation label - which is part of the reported $150 million deal he cut with Live Nation - to WMG. Jay, however, has chosen to release his much-anticipated 15th album, "The Blueprint 3," with Live Nation in the fall.

"Jay's deal with Live Nation is massive," says another music-biz insider. "But if he were to cut a deal with WMG/Atlantic, he'd make even more headlines. Jay-Z, Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles are all brand names. They're the industry's heavy hitters, and the combination would bring them a lot of attention. They would be unstoppable. Jay himself is the most successful rapper-turned-businessman out there."

Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) is a force to be reckoned with on his own. He reportedly bought himself out of his contractual obligations with Def Jam/Universal for a cool $5 million.

Is MTV Outing Diddy?

Oh, boy.

This may be an innocent mistake or the designers behind these PSAs for MTV's HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention campaign called Staying Alive are (subtly) outing Diddy.

In the male PSA (above), among the hundred-or-so female names of women the man has slept with - names like Naomi, Charlotte, Bridgette, etc. - scribbled to mimic pubic hair is the name "Diddy".

We don't know any woman named "Diddy"? Do you?

Hmmm... Interesting.

Touchè, MTV.


Here's the female version of the ad. We don't see any female names here.

Tom Cruise Doesn't Have Sex with Katie

Katie Holmes wants more sex from husband Tom Cruise.

The actress - who has a three-year-old daughter, Suri, with Tom - is reportedly growing increasingly frustrated with the couple's hectic schedule and is clamoring to spend more intimate time with Tom.

"Katie has become noticeably more miserable in the last few months. She finds it incredibly taxing to lead a life that revolves around Tom but that doesn't include enough intimate time with him to be genuinely fulfilling," a source told Closer magazine. "She doesn't just want to go to red-carpet events with him. She always feels like she's competing for Tom's attention."

Friends are reportedly worried about Katie, who is said to be becoming isolated from her Los Angeles social circle.

"Everyone is worried that she's close to breaking point. Katie spends most days alone looking after Suri. She's a devoted mother, but it's a lonely job. She and Tom have such separate lives," the source added.

Sidebar: Katie, maybe this is the reason he doesn't want to have sex with you. Or, maybe it's because he's gay. Allegedly.

Chris Brown SUED!

A man is suing Chris Brown, claiming that a bodyguard for the R&B singer assaulted the him when he photographed Brown at a Los Angeles gym about a month after the singer’s arrest for allegedly beating and choking his pop star girlfriend Rihanna.

In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Robert Rosen says he snapped a photo of Brown playing basketball at LA Fitness in Universal City in March. When people around Chris started yelling at him and approaching him, Robert says, he started running away to avoid confrontation.

He says in the suit that an employee of the fitness center grabbed at him and his clothes to try to stop him. He broke free, but fell as he was going down the stairs. Chris’s bodyguard caught up with him, picked him up by his shorts and began physically assaulting him, Robert alleges.

All the while, Robert claims in the suit, he cried out for employees of the fitness center to call the police or 911 because he was injured. Robert says he was “severely injured and disabled, both internally and externally, and suffered extreme emotional distress.”

The lawsuit also names LA Fitness as a defendant, and alleges negligence, premises liability and false imprisonment, among other things. It seeks medical expenses and other unspecified damages.

Last December another photographer sued Chris after he was assaulted by a bodyguard.

Mark Geragos, attorney for Chris Brown, said in a statement: "This is a specious and frivolous lawsuit by one of the paparazzi seeking publicity and a payday. He’s done this before and lost. We will vigorously defend against this."

Back in 2007, Robert got into a physical altercation with actor Pierce Bronson.

According to reports, the photographer shooting the actor as he shopped in a Malibu mall with his kids. Robert claimed Pierce said to him: "Why don't you get a real f**king job." Rosen says he then started complimenting Pierce on his Bond roles.

Pierce allegedly said, "Why don't you f**k off, mate," and punched the photog in the ribs. A witness says the pap reacted by kicking Pierce in the stomach. Don't poke the bear!

Madonna, Guy Ritchie Nude Portrait Goes to Auction

An oil painting of former husband and wife Madonna and Guy Ritchie reclining together in the nude is about the hit the auction block.

The painting by artist Peter Howson is aptly titled "Madonna and Guy" and is expected to sell for between $24,000 and $35,000 when it goes on sale at McTear's Auctioneers in the UK.

The work was painted it 2005, three years before the Madge and Guy divorced.

Art is very subjective, so we won't comment.

Coolio Has Been Cleared (and apparently still relevant) in the UK

Celebrity Big Brother, which airs in the UK, has been cleared of breaching British broadcast rules after hundreds of viewers complained about Coolio's behavior on the show.

Network Channel 4 came under fire over footage of the former rapper apparently bullying female housemates during the program's run last January.

Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom received 527 complaints about the show, ranging from allegations about Coolio's behavior to suggestions producers portrayed the star as a negative stereotype of a black man.

However, Ofcom found Channel 4 chiefs did not break any guidelines - insisting the rapper played the "villain of the piece", which is to be expected from such a show.

In a statement, Ofcom bosses ruled: "Any potentially offensive content that was shown and the manner in which the friction and the arguments were handled and presented by Big Brother on behalf of Channel 4, were adequately justified by the context."

"Conflicts can arise within the Big Brother house, but both the producers and commissioning editors encourage housemates to work differences out amongst themselves initially," a spokesperson for Channel 4 said. "Channel 4 has robust procedures in place to safeguard housemates' welfare and avoid any harm or offense to fellow housemates or viewers, and Big Brother will intervene as and when necessary."

C-Murder Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison, Awaits SECOND Murder Trial

Corey Miller, the rapper who goes by the name C-Murder and brother of Master P, has pleaded no contest to two counts of attempted second degree murder and will be sentenced to 10 years in prison, according to published reports.

Jury selection was under way in East Baton Rouge Parish on two counts of attempted second-degree murder in connection with an August 2001 incident at Club Raggs when Miller's plea was announced Wednesday.

The club's owner, Norman Sparrow, and a bouncer, Ronnie Williams, were Miller's targets. Authorities say Miller pulled a semiautomatic pistol from his waistband and attempted to shoot them after Miller refused to be searched before being allowed inside. Police say the pistol jammed.

He will be officially sentenced on Aug. 25.

C-Murder will stand trial on Aug. 3 on an unrelated second-degree murder charge stemming from the the January 2002 killing of a 16-year-old during a brawl in a Jefferson Parish nightclub.

Miller has served time in home confinement for the same case after being convicted in 2003. The Louisiana Supreme Court, however, ordered a new trial after agreeing with a lower court that said the jury in Miller's case should have been made aware of the background of witnesses who testified against the rapper.

He will remain behind bars until the Aug. 3 trial.


Sidebar: What a donkey! He certainly lived up to his name: "Murder-er".

Jennifer Hudson has been very guarded about her personal life, so obviously she hasn't addressed her growing tummy.

According to those in attendance, aside from putting on a spectacular show, JHud performed barefoot and sat down during many of the songs.

As that was the last show on her tour, now she can focus on family - Punk and the bun in the oven.

Congrats, girl!

As you may recall: Two unnamed sources close to Jennifer confirmed exclusively to Essence that she is pregnant last month; Her manager and publicist were quick to it.

Kanye Doesn't Read Books, But Wants You to Buy (and Read) His

Rapper Kanye West does not read books or respect them but nevertheless he has written one that he would like you to buy and read.

His book, titled "Thank You And You're Welcome" - is 52 pages -- some blank, others with just a few words -- and offers his optimistic philosophy on life. One two-page section reads, "Life is 5% what happens and 95% how you react!" Another page reads "I hate the word hate!"

"This is a collection of thoughts and theories," West, 31, said in an interview about his spiral-bound volume, which was written with J. Sakiya Sandifer.

West said he put his thoughts in a book because "I get paraphrased and misquoted all the time." He calls his wisdom "Kanye-isms."

"My favorite one is 'Get used to being used,'" he said.

"I feel like to misuse, overuse or abuse someone is negative. To use is necessary and if you can't be used, then you are useless."

So does he fancy himself a modern-day Confucius?

"I'm trying to end the confusion," he said, laughing and adding, "I'm gonna put that on the next album."

Kanye's derision of books comes despite the fact that his late mother, Donda West, was a university English professor before she retired to manage his music career. She died in 2007 of complications following cosmetic surgery.

"Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed," West said. "I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book's autograph.

"I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life," he said.

Kanye, a college dropout, said being a non-reader was helpful when he wrote his book because it gave him "a childlike purity."

He dedicates the book to his late mother.

"My mom taught me to believe in my flyness and conquer my shyness," he said, defining "flyness" as confidence. "She raised me to be the voice to allow people to think for themselves, to find their own way."

WTF! Man Admits to Raping Angelina Jolie!

Eds Note: For mature readers only.


A former Beverly Hills High School classmate of actor Angelina Jolie admits he raped her in a parking lot.

The man, who's going by the name "Brad", made that explosive admission to blogger Ian Halperin he has never forgiven himself.

“I was pissed off at her because I knew she was fucking one of the teachers in our school,” he said. “One day I got her alone in an empty parking lot and pinned her down and ripped off her clothes. She was yelling and screaming while I penetrated her for more than two hours.”

The man said a couple of weeks after the incident he apologized to Angelina and that they continued to see each other. He said she was “the best lover I ever had”.

When asked what type of person Jolie was as a teen “Brad” replied that she was “super smart, a horny b*tch and someone who liked to play with knives more than anyone else in the world. I thought she’d turn out to be a mass murderer. Never did I think she’d become one of the most famous people in the world.”

“Brad” also admits to doing drugs with Angie.

“Name it we did it,” he said.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obese Man Acquitted of Squashing Wife to Death

A German appeals court overturned a five-year jail sentence for an obese bus driver who fatally squashed his wife by falling on her during a booze-fueled argument.

The court decided the 52-year-old man, who weighs more than 280 pounds, was guilty of causing bodily injuries by negligence and issued him with a warning and fined $3,600..

The court could not rule out an accident in the woman’s death in April 2006 and actually said she was most responsible for her own death because she failed to see a doctor for a follow up appointment after an initial three days in the hospital - even when she coughed up blood for several days.

The couple had an argument over Italian music in April 2006 during which the woman poured beer over her husband's laptop computer. In the ensuing scuffle, she struck his neck, causing the man to fall on her with all of his weight, he told the court.

Six weeks later the 46-year-old woman, who was less than half her husband's weight, died from chest injuries. An autopsy found she had 18 broken ribs and several liters of fluid in one of her lungs.

In the appeal to the five year prison sentence, the man characterized the relationship as a “forced marriage” in which there were frequent arguments about money and said his wife frequently abused him.

Sheree Whitfield's Foreclosed Home Sold For A LOT Less Than She Hoped For

Sheree Whitfield foreclosed home located on Long Island Drive in Sandy Springs, GA was sold and the buyer got a fantastic bargain.

The 8,903 square feet home outfitted with six bedrooms, eight full and two half bathrooms, was originally listed for $2,850,000 last year.

But no one came.

The price was reduced to $2,400,000 right before "it was ripped off the market and seized by the bank in foreclosure," according to The Real Estate Stalker.

Now a property of the bank, "the home was re-listed with an asking price of just $959,000. After only 9 days on the market, the house went to contract and sold for what listing information shows was $1,100,000."

Allegedly, Sheree (or someone) took all of the kitchen appliances before turning over the home to its new owners.

Rihanna to Star in a Movie!!! (btw, she's not dating kanye, either)

Rihanna is single, everyone.

Although she was linked to Aubrey "Drake" Graham and, most recently Kanye, Rihanna is focusing on her career for the moment.

"Rihanna needs the focus to be on her talents right now, not the bumps in her personal life. She doesn't want anything else to overshadow her career," a source tells OK!. "Kanye is all over Rihanna's album - not all over Rihanna. She's feeling Aubrey but wants to take things slow. Right now they're just chilling."

Meanwhile, Rihanna is currently taking acting classes ahead of her first movie role while working on new music in New York.

"Rihanna will start filming 'Personal Protection' later this year. She's not ready, acting wise, yet, so she's meeting with a coach," the source added.

Additional casting for the film will reportedly be announced after Rihanna, has grasped the basics of acting.

No telling how long that's going to take.

Michael Lohan Arrested after Murder-Suicide Plot

Michael Lohan, Lindsay's dad, is in trouble again -- this time for allegedly threatening to kill his fiancée and himself when she tried to dump him.

Michael was quietly arrested on April 6 for a phone threat cops said he placed to off-again, on-again girlfriend Erin Muller, 34, on March 18.

Lohan, 48, flipped out yesterday when he walked into Central Islip court and spotted a Post reporter Kieran Crowley and photographer Dennis Clark. "Michael! Plan two!" shouted Lohan's lawyer, Anthony Grandinette, as his client fled.

"Plan two" consisted of Lohan and Muller hiding in her car while Grandinette appeared on his behalf. Lohan faces up to a year behind bars. He couldn't have picked a better time for the alleged threat, because terms of his parole ended on Feb. 7. He's due in family court in Westbury today, when he'll have to explain why he's behind in child support -- by $12,000, sources told the Post.

This shyt is craaaazzzzyyyy!
