Stacy Francis got in a few parting shots after her elimination from The X Factor last night, and it was difficult to blame the contestant for any of them. The aspiring singer was given the boot even after 14-year old Astro whined about being a member of the final two and sulked his way through a rendition of “Never Say Goodbye.” Simon Cowell berated the young singer, but still voted for Stacy to leave. “I feel like I had a disadvantage by not being in his category,” Francis told reporters after the episode aired, predicting that someone from Simon’s group would win and saying the judge “beat up everyone in the competition last night except his category.” As for Astro’s initial refusal to even sing for the panel’s votes? Stacy referred to this attitude as “obnoxious” and added: “Astro’s 14 and you can call him a teenager and give him an excuse, but bad behavior is bad behavior. He was ungracious in that moment… I’m very very honored and I’m grateful for coming this far. I wanted to go all the way and I didn’t, so it’s time for me to reevaluate my life and see what happens from here. I think it’ll be okay.” Do you think the judges made the right decision? Did the right top 10 member go home?
L.A. County Sherriff’s Office investigators’ decision to reopen the Natalie Wood case after three decades has raised suspicions of her husband, Robert Wagner. The captain of the boat that Wood, a major movie star at the time, mysteriously vanished from in 1981 is now blaming veteran actor Wagner for her death. The Tinseltown starlet died off of Santa Catalina Island in California after partying on a yacht one night with hubby Wagner and actor Christopher Walken. At the time, police said Wood, 43, accidentally fell overboard and drowned. Now the boat’s captain, Dennis Davern, is telling something of a different story. On Today, Davern said Robert Wagner, now 81, asked him not to take steps to find his wife. It was a matter of “We’re not going to look too hard,” he said. “We’re not going to turn on the search light, we’re not going to notify anybody right at the moment,” said Davern , who admitted that he lied at the time. “I made some terrible decisions and mistakes,” he said. “I did lie on a report years ago. I made mistakes by not telling the honest truth in a police report.” Asked if Wagner was “responsible” for Wood’s death, Davern said, “Yes I would say so.” Lana Wood, Natalie Wood’s sister, also spoke out about the case: Lana says she never believed Robert Wagner’s version of the events that led to Natalie’s death, and believes Robert wasn’t honest with investigators. She says she’s not buying the original story that Natalie was trying to secure a dinghy and fell overboard because she was deathly afraid of water. Natalie wouldn’t even go in her own pool, according to her sister. Natalie Wood Interview Lana Wood says Sheriff’s detectives interviewed her and specifically wanted to know if the relationship between Natalie and Robert was “volatile.” And, Lana says, if Wagner or anyone else is found to be responsible for Natalie’s death, they should be punished, despite the fact it’s 30 years later. Wood (1938-1981) and Wagner were married in 1957, divorced in 1962, then remarried in 1972. They have one daughter, Courtney, born in 1974. Despite the accusations of the captain, it is not known specifically what caused officials to reopen the case, and Wagner has never been a suspect. Wagner’s publicist, Alan Nierob, issued a statement saying the actor’s family “fully support the efforts of the LA County Sheriff’s Department.” The actor, who has a recurring role on NCIS , “trusts they will evaluate whether any new information relating to the death of Natalie Wood Wagner is valid.” Nierob said no authorities have contacted Wagner about the case.
Mel Gibson, under investigation for domestic violence, admits to hitting Oksana Grigorieva and TWICE threatens to kill her in an explosive new audio tape obtained and released exclusively by RadarOnline.com. The enraged actor tells the mother of his eight-month old daughter Lucia “you deserved it” after she says that he hit her and broke her teeth. Mel’s stunning admission could be a powerful piece of evidence against him in the criminal investigation that is headed for the district attorney’s office and right now being conducted by the L.A. County Sherriff’s Department. The new tape features a ranting, out-of-control, Mel who screams and is so enraged at times that all he can do is pant heavily, seemingly incapable of speaking. It is one of the most powerful, crazed and bizarre episodes ever caught on tape from a major Hollywood star. You can listen to the tape here exclusively on RadarOnline.com. The tape is not only big trouble for Mel in the domestic violence investigation but he could face additional criminal charges based on two death threats heard clearly on this new audio. WARNING: This audio contains graphic and profane language. It has been left unedited so that the full impact of Mel’s rant can be heard. RadarOnline.com has not altered this tape in any way. As Mel and Oksana argue, the Braveheart star becomes increasingly incensed, and tells her: “You need a f*cking bat in the side of the head. Alright, how about that?” Later on the tape, Mel alludes to killing and burying her. As the former couple’s argument grows worse and worse Oksana tells Mel: “You’re gonna answer one day, boy, you’re gonna answer.” Infuriated, Mel asks if she is threatening him, and Oksana says she is not. “I’m not the one to threaten,” the Russian-born beauty says. And that’s when Mel makes what certainly can be reasonably interpreted as another death threat, telling Oksana: “Threaten ya? I’ll put you in a f *ckin rose garden you c*nt! You understand that? Because I’m capable of it. You understand that?” Oksana filed a complaint with law enforcement on July 5 triggering a domestic violence investigation of Mel. RadarOnline.com learned that Oksana said she taped Mel because he made death threats against her and she feared for her life. At one point, on another section of tape not played here, Mel threatens to burn down her house. The new tape obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com has Mel admitting that he punched Oksana, confirming our earlier report that she has told friends he knocked out her front teeth. Here is the key piece of dialogue: Oksana: What kind of a man is that? Hitting a woman when she’s holding a child in her hands? Breaking her teeth twice in the face! What kind of man is that? Mel: Oh, you’re all angry now! You know what, you f* cking deserved it! As RadarOnline.com reported Oksana filed a restraining order under seal against Mel last month. In May they went through two days of arbitration to work out the terms of their separation. But Mel became infuriated when she would not let him see their daughter on Father’s day. RadarOnline.com was first to report that he has also filed orders under seal that restrain Oksana. Mel’s lawyers are now claiming that Oksana tried to extort him for more money in their settlement. On this tape, Mel says he will no longer pay money toward Oksana’s music career and she answers: “I don’t give a damn if you don’t spend another penny on me. “I don’t care I am just fearing for the life of my daughter.” Mel accuses her of leaving him when he stopped spending money but Oksana answers: “Because I am saving my life and I’m saving my daughter’s life! I don’t give a damn about my music and I don’t give a damn about you spending another penny! I’m saving her life! You almost killed us, did you forget?” On July 9, RadarOnline.com released audio of Mel’s vile racist rant. He is heard telling Oksana: “You look like a f*cking bitch in heat. And if you get raped by a pack of ni**ers it will be your fault. Alright? Because you provoked it.” Shortly after the release of our tape, it was revealed that the William Morris agency dropped Gibson as a client. Now many are wondering if his career can survive and the new tapes may indicate even bigger problems are directly ahead for the actor, as his threats against Oksana and admission of hitting her may be enough basis for criminal charges. The Braveheart star is so worked up at times on this tape that he is huffing and puffing, out of breath and in what appears to be a full blown emotional crisis. Oksana, by contrast, remains calm for most of the tape, but at times she shows more emotion, telling Mel, “you need medication.” She also tells Mel that she will call the police as he gets more abusive and that sets him into another rage as he screams: “You’re in my house honey.” Mel and Oksana’s romantic relationship was revealed exclusively by RadarOnline.com after we obtained photos of them hugging on a beach in Costa Rica. Mel’s wife Robyn filed for diovrce shortly after the photos became public. The new tape offers a brief but interesting glimpse about the end of Mel’s marriage. At one point he tells Oksana: “I left my wife because we had no spiritual common ground.” The tape was made earlier this year, after January 6 when Oksana has said Mel punched her in the face while she held their daughter. Mel and Oksana’s relationship has unraveled by this point and he rails against her, saying that she doesn’t love him and has used him financially. At one point he alludes that he has quit smoking and says that her behavior wants to make him smoke again. But the rest of the conversation is far more intense with Mel trying to express he has done everything possible for Oksana and received nothing in return. He screams at Oksana: “You don’t have any f*ucking friends except me, and you treat me like shi*! So that’s why I’m so fucking angry, because I don’t have any friends! And I try and make one from you and you treat me like shit and you fucking used me!” http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/07/exclusive-new-audio-mel-gibson-adm… added by: EmperorThan
