The two DJs whose now-infamous Kate Middleton prank call apparently led a nurse to commit suicide may face a criminal probe, according to reports. Mel Greig and Michael Christian of Sydney’s 2Day FM pretended to be Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles inquiring about the health of the pregnant Duchess. The hoax has caused public outcry after Jacintha Saldanha’s suicide . The 46-year-old nurse, who connected the pair to the Duchess’ room, was found dead Friday morning after police were called to an address near the hospital. Circumstances of her death are still being investigated, and are not suspicious at this stage; however, authorities are looking into whether any laws were broken . British police have contacted Australian police about a possible probe into the prank call, specifically the recording and dissemination of the private conversation. Rhys Holleran, CEO of Southern Cross Austereo, the parent company of 2Day FM, has apologized profusely, yet maintains that no laws were broken. The prank had been cleared by the Australian radio station’s lawyers. Holleran said the DJs followed the company’s procedures before broadcasting the call. “Our main concern at this point in time is what has happened is incredibly tragic and we’re deeply saddened and we’re incredibly affected by that,” Holleran said. At the same time, he added, “we’re very confident that we haven’t done anything illegal.” Lord Glenarthur, chairman of King Edward VII’s Hospital, where the pregnant Kate Middleton was/is receiving treatment, condemned the prank Saturday. Glenarthur said the call humiliated “two dedicated and caring nurses,” and the consequences were “tragic beyond words,” The Associated Press reported. Whether it results in criminal charges remains to be seen, but the DJs have already taken themselves off the air and are said to be in “intense” grief counseling.
On October 26th, 2012 me and my friend Carley drove four hours up to Kansas City to go see Justin. I have been an extremely dedicated Belieber for years and my dream was finally coming true. I knew it was going to be great but I was never expecting what would end up happening. We arrived at the hotel around noon and I finally got to meet my best friends from Twitter for the first time in person. We knew Justin and his crew were staying at our hotel because his buses were parked outside and there were tons of girl trying to get in. I was able to get me and my friends into the hotel but more girls ended up sneaking in later. Some of the girls had seen Justin’s grandparents earlier that morning so I knew there was hope to see someone but I still thought my chances were slim. Kenny tweeted that he was going to go work out before heading to the Sprint Center so we went down to the hotel gym to see if he was there . One of the girls that was there was wearing workout clothes so she used my key and went in to go check. But she never came out so I got frustrated and went in myself. I hadn’t taken a full five steps when I saw Kenny laying on the ground doing sit ups . And I got so nervous I just turned around and ran back into the hall and fell on the ground. I couldn’t believe I actually saw Kenny. The door to the gym opened and a really buff guy came out who I had never seen before (I later found out he is Justins new bodyguard). He told us that we needed to leave and I told him my friend was in there still and he tried to tell me that there were no girls in there. We argued for about 5 minutes but I was still very respectful to him and told him sorry to end it and he said, ‘I don’t care if you’re sorry.’ He is probably actually really nice but he wasn’t very nice to me. After that we left and went back up to the lobby. We were just standing there when Bruce and Diane just walked out of a hallway! I asked them for a picture and Justin’s grandma apologized and said there were too many people. They went out to the bus and Bruce didn’t get on! He said, ‘Grandma is tired but I will still take pictures with you!’ So he was taking pictures with everyone and when I asked for mine he said, “Of course sweetie!” His Canadian accent was so cute! We then went back into the lobby and were only there a couple minutes when someone spotted Scrappy in the bar! One of the managers went up to us and told us we weren’t allowed in because none of us were 21 but we just went in anyway and got a few blurry pictures and got to say hello! After Scrappy left, we were standing there for awhile when some of the hotel staff came and checked for room keys and kicked some people out. Some luggage came down stairs and some of Fredos camera equipment was on it! They then said that there were ‘important clients’ about to come down and we needed to stand to the side and not take our phone out and if they saw a phone they would kick us out. We did what we were told and soon Dan Kanter walked in the room! Someone asked him for a picture but the manager lady yelled, “No pictures!” so Dan was like, “Their rule. Not mine.” He told us he had to go check out and went over to the front desk. After he was done he came back and had a long conversation with us! We talked about food and the show and how he liked Kansas City. In the middle of us talking, Alfredo and Kenny walked out of the elevator! We screamed and they just waved and hurried out the door to get into a taxi. Dan soon left also. Pretty soon Allison walked by and waved to us while on the phone. Then Allison walked by holding PAC’s cage!!! We were all like “AWW” and she laughed. We waited a while longer but the buses left and someone came out and basically told us everyone was gone. Me and my friend went back into our room to get ready and I had just gotten changed when my friend who was still in the lobby texted me “He’s still here!!!!” We literally ran out the hotel room door and back to the lobby to find out that the manager said he ‘might’ still be here. Which is basically saying he was because if he wasn’t, they would have told us to leave. We stood in the lobby for awhile before deciding to go downstairs and check the parking garage. No one was down there so we went back to the elevator and were deciding what to do when my friend Sydney’s mom who was still in the lobby, texted her that “They are up here!” All like 15 of us jumped into the elevator screaming out heads off. When we got up there Kenny, Fredo, and the mean body guard from earlier were standing there checking out. Apparently they had just gone to lunch earlier. Kenny came over to us and took pictures with all of us while Alfredo and the other guy waved and hurried out. Kenny was even sweet enough to take extra pictures with my little sister and my friend’s sister who were to short to be seen in the first one . After they left we assumed everyone was gone and me and Carley needed to go get ready for the meet and greet. We got to the Sprint Center an hour early. We went up to the line and while we were waiting for Justin I suddenly got extremely nervous. When they pulled back the curtain for the girls in front of us, I noticed that it was the guy that chewed us out earlier at the hotel . I know he remembered us too because he did a double take and then stared at me. When it was our turn I legit went into shock. All I could do was stare at Justin’s beautiful face. He was laughing at something Alfredo said. I don’t think I will ever be able to describe how perfect he is in person. He was glowing and he looked like an angel. Justin had his arms already open for us to step into so we did and before the picture he gave me a side hug. Justin was trying to stop his laughing for the picture so he ended up with cutest smirk. Right after the flash went off he started giggling again and said something but honestly I was so out of it I don’t even know what he said. I just remember thinking in my head ‘Oh my goodness that’s Justin’s voice.’ They told us our turn was over and my friend yelled over her shoulder that she loved Justin and said goodbye to Fredo. I realized I looked like an idiot not saying a word because I was in so much shock so I turned around before walking out the curtain and I said ‘I love you so much Justin!!’ and Justin smiled and took a step forward saying ‘I love you too!’ in the cutest little voice. I then said ‘Hi Fredo!!!’ and he waved with the biggest smile. I stepped out of the curtain and they handed me this autographed thing and I instantly started bawling. I just couldn’t believe that just happened. I know that nobody is perfect but he has to be pretty dang close. I cried for like an hour until we needed to start finding our way into the actual concert. We got into the arena and me and Carley were extremely fortunate to get front row!! I just looked around in awe for awhile. I don’t think any Belieber can describe that feeling you get as the countdown goes to 0. It’s was in all honesty one of the happiest moments I’ve ever had. Justin is an amazing performer. I’ve always known that but I guess you just get a whole new perspective for it when you actually get to see it. He was born to do this and I couldn’t be more proud. I finally felt like I understood how talented he truly is and how far he has come. During OLLG we were just standing there watching Justin serenade the girl when someone ran in front of us on the other side of the barrier. And both me and Carley knew it was Alfredo. We waited for him to come back after taking pictures and when he did I leaned over the barrier and called his name. He took his hood off an stopped directly in front of me. I was completely taken off guard I thought he would maybe wave but definitely never this. He grabbed my hand that was resting on the barrier and he didn’t shake it – but he intertwined our fingers and just held my hand and got really close to my face and just smiled there for about 15 seconds. He then did the same thing to my friend before putting his hood back up and running off. My friend started crying for the first time that night which just made me break down and cry. We were basically on the floor crying in the middle of the concert and everyone around us just looked at us like we were freaks cause it was the most random time to cry. I just couldn’t believe that happened. I have sat alone in my room dreaming for years and my dream became a reality. Justin has helped me through so much in personal life and I know he has helped so many others also. I wish he could understand what he does for people. He saves them without even knowing it. I just want to say to everyone who sits in there room like I did dreaming about the day that you get to meet Justin to just have faith. Because when it finally happens it is all completely worth it. All the stress I twitter drama, the late night Bieber blasting, everything. It’s all worth it just to let him know that you love him and to know that he loves you back and to see the talent he really has. It will happen to you. You just have to believe. -Sterling Herzik (@ForeverMyRauhl) More here: On October 26th, 2012 me and my friend Carley drove four hours…
My name is Kaliye and I met my whole entire world and saw him in concert for the first time ever on October 26th, 2012 in Kansas City, MO. It all started when I began watching Justin’s YouTube videos in 2010 and I instantly fell in love with him. I started telling all my friends and family members about him, created a Twitter account dedicated to him, etc. I pretty much became obsessed with him. As the years went by, my love for him grew stronger. There were times when I felt so depressed and my only escape was his music and his voice. He kept me going. When I first heard that he was going to go on another tour, I was so happy and I was determined to meet him when he came to my city. I was trying to do everything to make it happen and nothing seemed to be working. My concert was only a week away and I started losing hope and I started to give up. That was when a miracle happened: these 3 girls named Justice, Angela, and Lauren told crew members about me and tried doing everything they can to get me to meet Justin when he came to Kansas. All of their hard work paid off and I received a meet and greet email. I started freaking out, I couldn’t believe that I was going to be meeting Justin Drew Bieber. It meant so much to me. When October 26th came, I chose to skip school and go to the arena really early so I can help my best friend and my other friend get tickets to the concert. We spent the whole day trying to find someone that would be willing to sell them cheap tickets. We couldn’t find anyone so we started losing hope and I had to go to will call to get my meet and greet bracelet. When I came back, I found out that my friends ended up getting tickets. I was so happy for them and seeing them smile made me smile. That’s when the security guard told me to get in line because the meet and greets were starting. I was so excited, I couldn’t believe that this whole thing was actually happening. We finally got in the building and there was a lady in the middle of the hallway telling us all the rules. We had to get in groups of 6 so I just got in a group with some lady and these two girls that I became friends with when I was standing in line. When it was finally our turn to meet Justin, we all started freaking out and squealing. We got in, and at first I couldn’t find Justin. All I saw were security guards, so I walked further. That’s when I saw him. He was so perfect, he didn’t even look real. He was right in front of me and I literally just stood there admiring him. When he was done greeting the other girls, he turned to me and gave me the sweetest smile ever. I started walking towards him and he reached his hand out to me and said “Hey love.” I swear I almost lost it. Did Justin just call me love? I stood right next to him and he put his arms around me and I put my arms around his waist to take the picture. For some reason, I felt comfortable in his arms. I wasn’t shaking or anything, I felt calm and I felt safe. He was leaning on my shoulder and he smelled so good and I couldn’t believe that he was standing right next to me. I realized that I needed to say something quick so I said, “I love you so much!” and he smiled and told me that he loved me too. We finally took the picture (I’m the short girl on the right with the black shirt) and he gave me a little squeeze on the shoulder. It was time to leave and he told me thank you as I began walking out the door. I couldn’t believe that I just met Justin Bieber. He’s so perfect in real life and he’s so sweet. I started crying when I got out of the room and my friends ran over to me and we all started fangirling together. Then it was time for the concert and we all quickly went into the arena and found our seats. We saw Justin perform and he did amazing, I was so proud of him and the Believe tour was everything I expected it to be. I’ll never forget October 26th, 2012. It was the best day of my whole entire life. Thank you to everyone that made my dream possible. Thank you to all my friends for believing in me and trying to do everything you guys can to see me smile. It means the world to me. And to everyone else reading this, if you have a dream, NEVER give up on it. If you believe in yourself and work hard, anything is possible. -@StrongForJustin Go here to see the original: My name is Kaliye and I met my whole entire world and saw him in…
My name is Fatima, I’m 18 and live in Australia . One week before Justin arrived, my friend Ashley won tickets to the Sunrise event and had chosen to take me as her plus one . All week I was working up an excuse to lie to my parents. 1) I was being monitored by school for my attendance and 2) It was a week before my HSC trials, so mum wasn’t letting me go even with tickets. On Monday 16th July 2012 I packed my bags and told mum I was leaving to see Justin. She forbidden I go and that if I did, to not return expecting my front door to be left open. I didn’t listen to her and left my house , in my mind I though I’m 18, I can do whatever I want so I got on the next train to Sydney. Justin arrived to Sydney on Monday night. I spent that night with approx. 10 my friends camping outside of his hotel. I spent Tuesday running around and chasing buses to his secret concert and sleeping in line for his TV appearance the next morning. On Wednesday 18th July 2012, I saw him walk out on that stage, he was perfect and I just let all my emotions run . After the show I left to go to the airport with 4 of my other friends. Not knowing what time his flight was, we had lunch and got some rest. Around 1pm I woke up, speaking to the girls and giving up and going home. As we were about to leave we saw friends and more fans. We came to the conclusion of NEVER SAY NEVER and BELIEVE. We sat around charging phones until my friend Eesha got told to be at a location. Once we got there we saw the Kenny Hamilton checking in bags, soon after we met Alfredo and got photos. We left Kenny and Alfredo after having a good conversation and went to the secret loading doc that we were certain Justin would go through. There were up to 25-30 fans there and about 10 minutes had passed. A black car, with the same number plate supposedly being Justin’s pulled up and police and security started telling us to not move any closer. Then a door opened and Justin walked out. I stood there in shock not realizing what was right in front of me. He was slowly walking over towards us. I noticed all the fans go over to Justin and I just knew it was going to be impossible to get near him. At the corner of my eye I see Selena walk out of the car. She was about to walk up the secret path when Eesha and I called and got her attention. We asked her to come over and she waved her hand at us motioning to come towards her so we did. Security told us to stay back and I froze, but she looked and me and kept motioning for me to come over. That’s when I got to meet Selena Gomez. I then left and went back to see if I could have my chance to meet Justin. As I got closer security told me to step back and so I listened. I remember a fan giving Justin a hug goodbye but accidentally hitting him in the mouth. Moshe saw and started to take Justin away when I started shaking and Eesha (who met Justin on Sunday when he arrived before going to Melbourne) saw me being hesitant so she asked if I had gotten a photo. I shook my head and so the next thing I remember is Eesha screaming “Justin, Fatty (my nickname) got kicked out of home for you.” This was a sudden shock to Justin and so he backed everyone up and was like, “Wait, wait what?” and looked at me. I just nodded my head staring at him in shock, the police had known how patient I had been and gestured me towards him. Justin grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him where I took my photo shaking nervously. I left Justin thanking him and giving him a final kiss, where he touched his cheek and said, “Thank you sweetheart.” Seconds after Justin left, I remember dropping to the floor and crying. I had just met my Idol of 3 years and also a beautiful girl who I didn’t even expect to meet. I left to go home, so scared to what was in stored for me. I got home at 9:30 pm and there sitting in the lounge room was my mum. She had the most dirtiest look on her face like I wasn’t her child until I walked over to her and broke down crying in her arms. “I met him mum, I met Justin.” I cried and all I remember was she replied with “and I was so close in taking your dream away.” Luck always takes my side and gives me the best karma last minute. I will forever remember this moment because I waited 3 years for this and I knew this year was my year because I had faith, and because on 29.4.2011 I met Pattie, Bruce and Diane who gave me forth row tickets to his sold out concert, ever since then I knew I was just a step closer. -@BeliebeInPayne Read more: My name is Fatima, I’m 18 and live in Australia.

The couple#39;s apparent split comes after rumors of a rocky romance swirled over the summer. More than 20 years after the couple met playing lovers in the 1990 movie The Crossing, Russell Crowe and Danielle Spencer may not have their Hollywood happy ending after all. Married in April 2003, the New Zealand-born Oscar winner, 48, and his Aussie musician wife, 43, are reportedly no longer together, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively covers the new issue of Allure . In the mag, she discusses how happy she is, and how she’d like nothing more than to have 30 kids. She also shows off her amazing legs in some insanely short shorts. Before Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds married in a top secret wedding in South Carolina over the weekend, she was already overcome by pre-marital bliss. “Right now, I’m so peaceful,” says the Gossip Girl star, 25, whose romance with Reynolds, 35, went public last October. “I’ve never been happier in my life.” After seeing these photos, Ryan is probably thinking the same: The down-to-earth Lively says she’d rather be happy than flawless any day: “I obviously have plenty of imperfections on my body, but I’d rather have a bit of cellulite and go do a food trip and try every ice cream place in the South.” Happiness, Lively says, is a conscious thing: “It’s the choice you have to wake up every day and say, ‘There’s no reason today can’t be the best day of my life .'” Profound. While she didn’t mention Ryan by name or divulge any wedding plans (clearly), she was clearly in a family state of mind. The girl wants kids. “I’ve always wanted a big family,” says the actress, who is the youngest of five children herself. “Oh, I’d love 30 [children] if I could.” They’d probably be the hottest kids ever .
They may not have walked away with any money, but Blakeley Shea Jones and Tony Pieper got engaged last night on the Bachelor Pad season finale . Before Nick Peterson shocked the world and screwed over Rachel Trueheart en route to $250,000, single father Tony found himself $100,000 lighter. He popped the question to Blakeley with a ring by Hollywood fave Neil Lane. “It is a gorgeous ring,” a diamond expert says of the 3.5-carat rock. “It’s very substantial . The main stone is a square cut, with a pave border and a double pave band.” One worth an estimated hundred grand, according to reports. About a week before the Bachelor Pad finale taped, “Tony was very quietly flown out to LA … He met with Neil so he could pick the ring out personally.” His efforts certainly paid off, as Blakeley Shea Jones said yes. While neither made it far on The Bachelor or Bachelorette , the couple met at the Pad and decided to make their relationship permanent after just a few months. Congratulations, Blakeley and Tony!
O.J. Simpson believes Khloe Kardashian is his daughter and plans on changing his will to reflect this fact. According to a new story in The National Enquirer , that is. The same tabloid that first floated the Kardashian-belongs-to-O.J. rumor in January is now fueling that seemingly absurd allegation by claiming Simpson wants to “do the right thing” and leave a sizable chunk of his estate to the reality star. Moreover, he wants to do it at older daughter Arnelle’s expense, an anonymous insider claims, because Simpsons thinks she has squandered his money on a lavish, drunken lifestyle. Currently sitting in a prison cell, convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping , O.J. has stashed away a couple million in the Cayman Islands and can expect more over the years due to his NFL pension, which pays him an annual sum of $300,000. Based on this story, Simpson told his four kids – Arnelle, Jason, Sydney and Justin – that he’s changing his will to give a lot of that fortune to Khloe… and their reaction was less than enthusiastic. “At first they thought he was just making a big joke, but when they realized he was serious, they were flabbergasted,” says a source. “They are furious and wonder why they have to share the wealth with a complete stranger.” The children should just be thankful they’re alive, really. But they don’t see it that way. “By cutting Arnelle out of his will, his kids feel O.J. is being cruel,” adds the insider. “And they think that adding Khloe is just plain revenge. I’m sure if O.J. kicks the bucket and leaves Khloe money in his will, she’s not going to turn it down.” We’re equally sure. Almost as sure as we are that Khloe Kardashian is not actually O.J. Simpson’s daughter. [Photo: WENN.com/Fayesvision]
