Under fire from the royal family and others for running Kate Middleton baby bump photos in its latest issue, Italy’s Chi Magazine has no regrets. Most mainstream publications declined to run the photos. Not Chi , whose boss, Alfonso Signorini, stands by his decision to distribute the images: Signorini said in a statement Wednesday: “The photographs were bought from an international agency. We cannot talk about a violation of privacy when we publish pictures of public people in a public place .” “You can’t compare this with the media persecution of Lady Diana. I cannot stress enough that the photos were taken in a public place, not private property.” Owned by a corporation of ultra-rich residents, the Caribbean island of Mustique consists of just 2.2 square miles and holds about 100 private villas. St. James’ Palace released a statement about the new set of pictures being published by Chi , calling it a “clear breach of the couple’s right to privacy.” Signorini doesn’t believe Chi , which also ran topless pics of Kate last year, owes an apology for sharing the pictures with the tabloid’s readers, saying: “[The Italian press] has not made a gentlemen’s agreement [like the U.K.] with the Royal Household. Where is this so-called scandal they are trying to make it out as?” After Chi published a 26-page spread of Kate Middleton nude on private property, the couple’s royal press secretary slammed the tabloid’s ethical practices. Kate and Prince William may have less of a legal axe to grind in this case, but you can expect they will continue to raise hell about it if nothing else. And if it’s any consolation … Kate Middleton bikini photos are very attractive. The royal heir(ess) in her belly is going to inherit some good genes.

Yesterday afternoon, Perez Hilton posted a story that said Miley Cyrus was spotted hanging out this week with Ed Westwick , implying a romance between the singer and the former Gossip Girl star. And Miley – who is engaged to Liam Hemsworth , of course – is taking this rumor sitting down… so she can blast the celebrity gossip blogger on Twitter! “@perezhilton hope you find love one day but can you not f–k with mine,” Cyrus wrote. “I’ve never been with Ed W in my life. I was at the studio last night working on my record and never left with anyone other than my assistant…” Cyrus then referred to Hilton’s self-proclaimed “enlightenment” last year, where he promised to no longer bully. “what happened to your promise to spread love not lies,” she continued. “And to be a decent human being with values and morals??? Dude u ask for people to respect you and your relationships I demand the same thing.” Miley then concluded her rant on a positive note: “@perezhilton hope this message finds you happy and healthy… feel free to ask me whatever u want but I can’t tolerate lies. Thanks for understand. Blessings x.” Wow. You go, girl! Need we even ask here if you’re on Team Miley or Team Perez?
Chris Daughtry’s weight loss since 2010? Pretty impressive. The American Idol Season 5 contestant, who somehow placed fourth before going on to become one of the show’s most successful alumni, is definitely its hottest. The 33-year-old rocker put his Twitter to very good use by showing how fit he’s become since dedicating himself to that three years ago. Goodness. In case you thought the image above is doctored, it’s not … check out an un-retouched image of Chris Daughtry shirtless from a few months back. Exercise and a diet of healthy recipes . It totally works.
