Her name is a mouthful, but the real question is this: Is Ella-Paige Roberts-Clarke been getting a mouthful of Justin Bieber?!? The singer was spotted at the pop star’s side Wednesday night at a Brit Awards after party hosted by Justin Timberlake. We know she’s friends with Florido Basallo, the stylist currently on tour with Justin and… well, that’s all we know. But that’s all it takes to get the blogosphere buzzing, of course, a single sighting. And single is exactly what Bieber is following his split from Selena Gomez . We’ll keep fans apprised of the status of this relationship as information becomes available.
Give Steven Tyler points for honesty. And shake your head over how he’s still standing. In an interview with 60 Minutes Australia that will air Sunday night, the singer is asked about previous claims that he spent $20 million on cocaine in the 1970s. That’s not exactly accurate, the ex- American Idol judge admits. “Realistically, 5 or 6 [million],” says Tyler, adding: “You also could say I snorted half of Peru, but it doesn’t matter.” The Aerosmith frontman has been sober for 20 years, though he did suffer a relapse with prescription pills in the late 2000. He underwent treatment and can now speak openly about the entire ordeal. Somewhere, even Charlie Sheen is in awe of that whole Peru snorting thing.
Dean Cain was once engaged to Mindy McCready. A very long time ago. Speaking out for the first time since her suicide, he says she was deeply troubled even 15 years ago, and not just because of substance abuse issues. It was her manipulations and lies that torpedoed their romance, Cain says. “I’m saddened to hear of her passing, but I’m not surprised,” says Cain, 46, echoing the statements made earlier this week by Mindy’s ex Billy McKnight . They lived together and were engaged, but things imploded after a year. Speaking to People in the aftermath of Mindy McCready’s death , Cain sadly – and tellingly – struggled to remember any sort of joy in their relationship: “I can’t paint too pretty a picture. She would start arguments, start drama,” the actor recalls. “It was as if things weren’t allowed to be good.” “She was never abusive or addictive with me, but the red flags were everywhere,” he adds. “I saw all the bad signs and told her to get out.” At the end, Cain fled his own home for a hotel to escape her, because “Everything she did was a manipulation of sorts. She would just get combative.” The single dad (it’s not hers) had severed all ties with McCready. “When I did speak to her, truth didn’t come out,” he said. She was poisonous and not somebody I was going to have in my life or anywhere around my son.” McCready leaves behind two boys, one by McKnight and the other by David Wilson , who died just 36 days before McCready under similar circumstances. “My first thought was of the poor kids. To think about the legacy those boys have been left, it’s just tragic,” Cain said. “All her troubles were self-inflicted. She had everything.” “She was a tremendous talent but everything about it was a waste.”

SMH Former Senator Admits To Fathering A Child With Another Senator’s Daughter While Married An ex Republican Senator from New Mexico recently dropped a bombshell on his family and his community when he revealed that he’d had an extramarital affair and even fathered a child with another Senator’s daughter when she was just 24-years-old. via ABC News Former New Mexico Senator Pete Domenici revealed today that he fathered a son in an extramarital affair with another senator’s daughter more than 30 years ago and has kept the secret since then, only telling his own family in the last “several months.” In a statement to the Albuquerque Journal, the 80-year-old Republican, who represented New Mexico for more than 30 years, said the mother of his son “made me pledge that we would never reveal that parenthood and I have tried to honor that pledge and so has she.” Domenici wrote that he was worried about the privacy of his son, a 34-year-old Nevada lawyer named Adam Laxalt, as well as the potential impact on Laxalt’s mother, Michelle Laxalt, 58. Domenici has eight other children with his wife Nancy. “My past action has caused hurt and disappointment to my wife, children, family, and others. For that I am solely responsible,” Domenici, who still lives in Washington, D.C., said in the statement. “My family has been aware of these events for several months. I have apologized as best as I can to my wife, and we have worked together to strengthen our relationship. I deeply regret this and am very sorry for my behavior. I hope New Mexicans will view that my accomplishments for my beloved state outweigh my personal transgression.” Michelle Laxalt, the daughter of former U.S. senator and Nevada Gov. Paul Laxalt, is a former government relations consultant and lobbyist. Finding out your husband cheated and fathered a child after 8 children together and over 30 years of marriage has to be pretty hard to take. Would you leave your 80-year-old husband if you found out he’d cheated and fathered a child after over 30 years of marriage? AP
Bunnies are apparently wreaking havoc at Denver International Airport, attacking cars, chewing on parts and leaving massive amounts of damage in their wake. Nearly 100 bunnies are being removed each month from the airport by the USDA Wildlife Service because the animals are chewing cables underneath cars. “They like to chew on the insulator portion of the ignition cables. That’s what we see,” said Wiley Faris, spokesman for Denver area repair shop Arapahoe Autotek. “That wiring harness has all the wiring for the car so it can run from the hundreds into the thousands depending on where the harness is damaged.” Faris told CBS Denver that bunnies are surprisingly common culprits in such car attacks, with their fur and droppings giving away their culpability. USAirport Parking, which runs garages at the Denver airport, said it is taking elevated measures to prevent any additional rabbit attacks on cars . “It’s hard to get rid of the bunnies but we’re going to try as many natural things as possible,” a parking employee told the Denver CBS affiliate. Those measures include new fencing, which will make it harder for the bunnies to burrow and enter the lot, and deterrents such as wolf urine. Introducing predators is also an option. “We’re also going to build raptor perches for hawks and eagles,” USAirport Parking told CBS Denver. Preventative “maintenance” is great, but if you’re already a victim? Those who have had their cars attacked by bunnies are out of luck when it comes to reimbursement either from the airport or their insurance company. Parking permits at the airport notify drivers that the garage isn’t responsible for any damage, and bunny attacks are usually not covered by insurance.
Just three months after ending their marriage, both Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif have moved on – with much younger members of the opposite sex. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is engaged in a fling with Sean Stewart , a man 19 years her junior; while Life & Style broke the news that Nassif, 50, is dating Helen Marie Salas, a 27-year old beauty queen and former Miss Teen USA. The tabloid claims that Nassif started seeing Salas while still married to Maloof, even making up a tale about how she was their children’s nanny. “She thinks he’s been seeing Helen since at least March or April of last year,” says a friend. However, Nassif told TMZ last night that he has only been dating Salas for six weeks, starting the relationship after his divorce from Adrienne was finalized. As for how he landed a young beauty? Nassif would not say, but the answer is obvious, isn’t it? The man is a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. So it’s clearly his personality.

Chicago Lawyer Convicted Of Murdering Eddy Curry’s Girlfriend And 10-Month-Old Daughter Via NYPost A jury has convicted a Chicago attorney of murdering former NBA center Eddy Curry’s ex-girlfriend and infant daughter four years ago. Fredrick Goings showed no reaction when the jury’s guilty verdict was read Tuesday in the January 2009 shooting deaths of 24-year-old Nova Henry and her and Curry’s 10-month-old daughter, Ava. Goings represented Henry in a child custody case against the former Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Miami Heat center, and was also romantically involved with her. Prosecutors say Henry tried to end her relationship with Goings and moved out with her and Curry’s two children. They say Goings shot Henry in her home while she was holding the infant. Her and Curry’s son, who was then 3 years old, was also in the home but wasn’t harmed. Curry, who now plays in China, didn’t testify. Says Nova’s mother, Yolan Henry: “I’m feeling elated. I can breathe,” she said. “I feel justice has been served.” Yolan Henry testified that she found her surviving grandson, Noah, with the bodies of his sister and mother, and that he told her, “Fredrick did it.” It’s good to see the system benefit those who deserve justice and punish a$$holes that kill babies.
