In case you guys forgot (because I definitely did), Claudia Jordan here used to get paid to look super-hot opening up briefcases on Deal or No Deal . But now here she is doing something much less demanding: looking super-hot at the beach with her friend Aisha Thalia . According to my research, these two are both radio personalities these days in addition to models, which seems completely insane to me. I know they say some people have a face for radio, but Claudia and Aisha have obviously got bodies for the big-screen. Preferably IMAX. Anything less is just a serious waste of talent. » view all 11 photos Photos: PacificCoastNews
Not long after his split from Gwyneth Paltrow was announced, rumors of an affair between Chris Martin and Alexa Chung began to circulate. As more intel emerged the situation began to take shape. Several tabloids reported that Chris and Gwyneth enjoyed an “open relationship” which allowed for meaningless sex with strangers, but Chris broke the rules by falling in love with Chung. Now it seems the appeal of a woman who’s not Gwyneth is so strong that Chris can’t resist Alexa even during his ” conscious uncoupling ” period with Gwynnie. Like Chris, Alexa hails from England originally and she still lives there most of the year. Or at least she did. Star magazine reports that since Martin has begun (slowly) breaking things off with Paltrow, Chung has been spending more time in LA. Chris has apparently fallen so hard for Alexa he refuses even to stick around for Gwyneth’s meditation/primal scream therapy sessions or whatever she’s got him doing. A source tells the tabloid that Chris “has been sneaking out at night to see [Alexa] and confide in her.” A ballsy move considering Chris still lives with Gwyneth at the moment. Never a magazine to shy away from wild speculation, Star also reports that in the past, Chris has carried on affairs with Helena Christensen, Kate Bosworth and Natalie Imbruglia, but never fell for any of them the way he has with Alexa. Sounds like Chris stayed busy! No wonder he was able to stomach being married to Gwyneth for so long! 10 Most Shocking Hollywood Divorces Open Slideshow 1.

Big news for the newly-engaged couple! Christina Aguilera Expecting Her Second Child Christina has a new fiancee and a second baby on the way. This is starting off to be a good year for her. According to US Weekly: Another Fighter is on the way! Almost one week after Christina Aguilera announced her Valentine’s Day engagement to boyfriend Matt Rutler on Twitter, a source has exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly that the Grammy winner is pregnant with her second child. Aguilera, 33, welcomed son Max with now-ex-husband Jordan Bratman in January 2008, and has enjoyed watching her now-6-year-old grow. The “Beautiful” singer took season 4 off from The Voice to spend more time with her family and to focus on her music career. She’s also taking off season 6 of the show, when Shakira will fill the pop diva’s red chair. The newly-engaged couple and expectant parents have been together for almost three years. They met on the set of Aguilera’s 2010 film Burlesque. The seasoned vocalist was previously married to Jordan Bratman from November 2005 to October 2010, and he shares custody of Max. Congratz again.
Michael Dunn was found guilty on four charges, including three for attempted second-degree murder, in connection with a shooting involving an SUV full of teens. Dunn allegedly got into an argument with them over loud music. He is looking at decades in prison, and yet there was no verdict on the first-degree murder charge related to the death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis. Michael Dunn Guilty of Attempted Murder Dunn’s lawyer, Cory Strolla, told reporters on Saturday that his client was “in disbelief … even as he sat next to me, he asked, how is this happening.” “It has not set in. I don’t think it will set in anytime soon.” The incomplete finale to this emotional, hot-button trial, largely because of the fact that Dunn is white and the teens who were shot at, including Davis, are black. For many, the Florida case echoed George Zimmerman ‘s trial for the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin about 120 miles down the road in Sanford. While the state’s controversial Stand Your Ground law wasn’t used by Dunn (or Zimmerman), his lawyers similarly argued that he fired in self-defense. Given the partially hung jury, State Attorney Angela Corey said prosecutors would press for a new trial in Duval County, Fla., on the murder charge. “Justice for Jordan Davis is as important as it is for any victim,” said Corey, whose office also famously handled the Zimmerman case in 2012-13. Dunn is not a free man , unlike Zimmerman. Nor may he ever be. Prosecutor Erin Wolfson explained on Saturday night that each attempted second-degree murder conviction carries a minimum sentence of at least 20 years. “You are looking at basically at life in prison,” Strolla said, even as he vowed to challenge the convictions. “At 47, that’s a life sentence regardless of count one.” The decision to convict on these counts, and not on murder, didn’t come easily for a jury that had deliberated for about 30 hours since getting the case. Judge Russell Healey said earlier that the jury of four white women, two black women, four white men, an Asian woman and a Hispanic man was “struggling, obviously.” “But it’s not for want of trying to reconcile all of this,” he said. “I think we’ve got some analytical people trying to do just that – trying to analyze this from every possible angle.” The lack of a murder conviction upset some, including protesters who marched outside the Jacksonville courthouse calling for Corey to lose her job. “The people united will never be defeated,” they also chanted. Yet Davis’ mother, Lucia McBath, didn’t express any anger when she addressed reporters last night. Her family, she said, is “so very happy to have just a little bit of closure.” “It’s sad for Mr. Dunn that he will live the rest of his life in that sense of torment, and I will pray for him,” McBath said. “And I’ve asked my family to pray for him.” It was back on November 23, 2012, when Michael Dunn pulled into a gas station in Jacksonville, parking next to a red Dodge Durango full of teenagers. The teens pulled in for gum and cigarettes; Dunn ad just left his son’s wedding with his fiancee, who’d gone inside the convenience store for wine and chips. Dunn didn’t like the loud music – “rap crap,” as he called it – coming from the teens’ SUV. He asked them to turn it down, and what came next depends on whom you ask. Dunn says Davis threatened him, and he decided to take matters into his own hands upon seeing what he thought was the barrel of a gun sticking out of the Durango. But prosecutors asserted that it was Dunn who lost control, firing three volleys of shots – 10 bullets total – at the SUV because of the music he didn’t like. Prosecutors challenged specifically what he did after the altercation: He left the gas station and drove 40 miles away to a bed and breakfast in St. Augustine. There, Dunn walked his dog, ordered a pizza, then drank rum and cola, “stunned and horrified, (shocked how) things escalated the way they did over a common courtesy.” After learning almost six hours later that he had killed Davis, Dunn testified that he became “crazy with grief,” experiencing stomach problems for hours before napping. “My intent was to stop the attack, not necessarily end a life,” he testified. Yet his fiancee, Rhonda Rouer, testified that Dunn never mentioned any weapon to her – be it a shotgun, a stick, a barrel or a lead pipe – unlike what Dunn said. In fact, police found a basketball, basketball shoes, clothing, a camera tripod and cups inside the teenagers’ Durango, but no evidence of any firearm. Dunn himself never called police, either. The first contacts he had with them were at his home in Satellite Beach, 130 miles south of St. Augustine, as he was being apprehended in the case. Arguing that he wasn’t in a rational state of mind, Dunn admitted, “It makes sense that I should have (contacted authorities). We didn’t. I can’t tell you why.”
