So, Stacy Keibler brought George Clooney to the Argo premiere. Or I guess it was actually the other way around, since Stacy wasn’t exactly being invited to things like this before she started banging one of the most famous guys in Hollywood. It was rumored that these two had broken up, but obviously that’s not the case. I guess George still has a few months left on his lease before he trades Stacy in for a new model. » view all 27 photos Related Articles: Stacy Keibler In Not So Short Shorts Stacy Keibler’s Maxim Magazine Pictures Stacy Keibler Strips -N- Shines!

Really?? After all of that “freedom of religion gives us the right to be here,” the people who were so determined to open a mosque up the street from World Trade Center haven’t been paying their rent. Or at least that’s what their landlord would like us to believe. Lower Manhattan’s controversial Park51 Islamic center is now in a court battle with utility Consolidated Edison, which says the center owes it $1.7 million in a dispute over back rent. In court papers, Park51 says it owes Con Edison only $881,000 and calls the utility’s demand “grossly inflated.” The center has filed suit against the company over a default notice it was issued in September, and a New York state judge has stayed any action until after a hearing in November. In a statement to CNN on Sunday, Con Edison said it “remains hopeful” that it can work out an agreement with Park51, which leases part of its property from the utility. Park51′s developers did not return a phone call seeking comment. The center, which includes a mosque, drew intense opposition in 2010 from politicians, conservative activists and some families of the victims of the al Qaeda attack on the World Trade Center. The twin towers stood about two blocks from the site before they were destroyed by the suicide hijackings on September 11, 2001, leading critics to dub the project the “Ground Zero Mosque.” The interfaith center’s leaders said the project will be a 16-story community center with recreational, educational and cultural programming rooted in a spirit of cooperation and coexistence. City officials refused to block its construction, and Park51 held its grand opening in September. According to court documents, Park51 has exercised an option to purchase the Con Edison portion of the site for $10.7 million. The center says it has been paying $2,750 a month — minuscule by New York standards — under its initial lease. The rent was to be recalculated based on the market value of the property after it renewed the lease in 2008, but disputes over the appraisal lasted until this August. In September, Con Edison demanded the $1.7 million it said it was owed. “The lease for the property calls for the tenant to pay this money now that an appraisal process has been completed,” the utility told CNN. “Under the terms of the lease, Con Edison requested payment of outstanding rent, but to date, tenant has not yet made the required payment.” The people behind the Islamic Center think this is just a new tactic to get them out of the building. We can’t help but feel like they might not be way off… Source

Singer replaced with Tim Urban, reportedly due to confusion over previous boy-band contract. By Gil Kaufman Chris Golightly Photo: FOX Let the drama begin. As if the two-night Hollywood rounds finale weren’t already filled with enough joy, heartache and tears, “American Idol” producers threw one last twist into the mix at the end of Wednesday night’s program by pulling a top 24 switcheroo. After picking seven of the top 24 on Tuesday night, the judges culled the herd down on Wednesday to carve out the remaining 17 semifinalists, which appeared to include curly-haired Chris Golightly , whom we met at the Los Angeles auditions, where he talked about bouncing around between 25 foster homes as a child. Golightly was seen in the group shot near the end of the show — at which point only 11 boys had been chosen on screen. But during the traditional finalist introduction dance segment that closes Hollywood, he was inexplicably replaced by Tim Urban. “It has been determined that Chris Golightly is ineligible to continue in the competition,” read a statement from Fox. ” ‘American Idol’ contestant Tim Urban has replaced Golightly as part of the Top 24.” A spokesperson for the show could not be reached for further comment at press time. Hours after the disqualification was revealed, show host Ryan Seacrest posted the same statement on his a href=”http://twitter.com/RyanSeacrest/status/9272139729″ target=”_blank> Twitter page, where he also announced that this year’s contestants will have MySpace, Twitter and Facebook pages on the “Idol” hub. He did not elaborate on why Golightly was booted. Golightly reportedly spoke to the “Idol” fan site
