Justin Bieber on his new autobiography and how he just wants a normal family life

Oh yes teen pop sensation JUSTIN BIEBER has been plugging a new autobiography and has told the NOTW

“When I was little I just longed for a normal life, with a normal family and there’s no way that’s ever going to happen now.” And he talked about standing up to bullies. “Unfortunately for the bullies, my dad was a former professional fighter who used to take me to his training sessions. I quickly got a reputation as someone not to be bullied.”

The News of the World also has a video of Bieber and comical English accent.

Chantelle Houghton And Sam Preston: Cash Conquers All

REMEMBER how the gathering of taffeta, vegetable dyes and Katie Price’s off-cuts called Chantelle Houghton was going to get back with Samuel Preston; how Sam was looking for “integrity”; and how they were both looking for love but maybe not with each other, not just now?

Well, heat magazine says what many have been saying all along: rubbish!
A “source” says:

“They spoke on the phone several times before they went back in. They discussed how much they would be paid, and when Chantelle found out Preston was getting £40,000 she went back to the Channel 4 producers and demanded the same.”

They then, reportedly, scored a £120,000 deal with glossy to tell their story.
All nonsense, right?

Hunter S Thompson’s Letter To The Vancouver Sun Is Golden

WHEN HUNTER S. Thompson applied for a job at the Vancouver Sun, he wrote  a letter. The Ottowa Citizen has published it. Here it is, via David Pescovitz:

Vancouver SunTO JACK SCOTT, VANCOUVER SUN

October 1, 1958 57 Perry Street New York City

Sir,

I got a hell of a kick reading the piece Time magazine did this week on The Sun. In addition to wishing you the best of luck, I’d also like to offer my services.

Since I haven’t seen a copy of the “new” Sun yet, I’ll have to make this a tentative offer. I stepped into a dung-hole the last time I took a job with a paper I didn’t know anything about (see enclosed clippings) and I’m not quite ready to go charging up another blind alley.

By the time you get this letter, I’ll have gotten hold of some of the recent issues of The Sun. Unless it looks totally worthless, I’ll let my offer stand. And don’t think that my arrogance is unintentional: it’s just that I’d rather offend you now than after I started working for you.

Marc Mysterio V Brandy On Dancing With The Stars: What Really Happened

MARC Mysterio, currently embroiled win a dispute with Dancing On The Stars pro/celebrity hoofer Brandy, recently inked an exclusive deal with Universal Canada via his company World Class Records (WCR). Each artist signing to WCR/UMC will be produced or executive produced by Marc Mysterio, whom will also run A&R.

“Universal’s backing in giving us the ability to sign and release any act we want. This speaks to DJ culture having arrived in North America,” says Marc Mysterio. “If we can sum up this partnership’s personality in one word, that would be ‘pro-active'”.

Exclusive: Evidence In Marc Mysterio Case Against Brandy Norwood

Of course, we can’t help but to mention Brandy – whom Anorak Pal Marc Mysterio is suing for alleged breach of contract for failing to provide the vocals she was paid $10,000 as per written contract as a side artist fee.

She could win the bozo the clown of the month award, but this time not for her dancing skills (or lack thereof) on Dancing With The Stars . The song in which she was originally set to appear in “Shout It Out” by Marc Mysterio, was just sent to radio last Monday and in its first week, bested Eminem to slot #2 on the New Airplay Chart for Top 40 Radio this past week across Canada.

Says Marc:

“The success of the song without the star power of a Brandy being featured on it shows not only how strong a record it is, but that her not being on the record is a loss that is tough to swallow. There is a lot of, what if she hadn’t screwed us over, where would this song be. I hope she thinks that this Dancing With The Stars fiasco was worth it. Past experience from reality shows (i.e. Samantha Fox on I’m A Celeb) tells me otherwise.

Unless you have a solid product that is already working, most of the post-reality show records underperform so if this was her hope to ditch us and use this bounce to re-launch her career solo, instead of doing it the right way as Kelly Rowland did with David Guetta, karma can be a bitch. But, let’s see. I’m focused on working with Universal and my other international partners on making ‘Shout It Out’ the biggest success possible as is, and let everything else take care of itself.”

Angelina Jolie: Shiloh’s Warning To Brownies And Budapest Is Gagged

ANGELINA Jolie and Brad Pitt’s range of children are enrolled at a school in Budapest, where Jolie is directing a Bosnian love story (Irma Nici is available for the lead role).

The story goes that Jolie invited all the schools’ parents and teachers to sign confidentiality agreements vowing that they will not talk to the press.

If they do talk their puppies will tossed live into a river. No, only joking. They will be fined money and if they persist is talking their child may be suspended from the school. Us magazine fails to says what would happen to anyone failing to sign the agreement nor if it is standard issue at what must be a private school.

Is it The American International School of Budapest, which “prepares its students to be responsible global citizens”?

We don’t know what would happen if the parents declined to sign. But before you think Jolie a control freak who ships her kids around the world like missionaries to her Church of Me, get a load of the National Enquirer’s front-page headline:

“JEALOUS of SHILOH”

“Is Jolie HARMING her 4-year-old daughter?”

Nice journalism, there. Dr Lillian Glass says Shiloh might have a few issues when she grows up because she dresses in shorts and jumpers, what Jolie call “Montenegro style”.

Can a child be harmed by wearing brown shorts and tops, as Shiloh is pictured wearing? And, if so, are the Scouts and Brownies creating a legion of therapy victims?

Discuss.

Rumor Fix Rivals Gossip For Most Useless Celebrity Website Award

A GOSSIP Cop website by Any Other Name Would be… an even dumber idea than the original Gossip Cop. This one is called Rumor Fix, writes Rumor Rat.

But when your the scion of that bucket o’ cash known as Dr. Phil McGraw, who cares that the original was a dumb-ass idea… and a knockoff will likely be even less appealing.

Day after day, the guys at Gossip Cop are sniffing out “the facts” behind all those other websites’ questionable headlines.  Those men in blue go out on a limb and swim against the tabloid tide to tell you, the reader, the real story.

How do they do it?  They employ a secret weapon known as the “celebrity publicist.”

Whenever Radar, or Hollyscoop or Hollywood Life posts a negative item about any star, Gossip Cop goes into action.  They call the star’s P.R. person — the person who’s paid to keep their celebrity image as pure as the driven snow — to quickly get to the truthiness behind all those nasty old tabloid headlines.

X Factor Photos: Cheryl Cole’s Book Signing And Sharon Osbourne’s Mosquito Issues

CHERYL Cole was writing her name in her new book ‘Through my eyes‘ at Waterstone’s in London. Because Cheryl is one given to crying the book is best read through goggles underwater.

As the fans waited outside in the rain – 300 silver wristbands have been given out with a further 100 gold wristbands given to the next 100 in reserve – pixie-voiced Sharon Osborne was bigging up the X Factor by picking on another of its judges, Dannii Minogue.

“I didn’t hate her because hatred is very close to love and takes a lot of emotion, and I don’t have time for her. She is like an insect – a mosquito that won’t go away.”

A mosquito! Like the one that bit Our Cheryl and gave her malaria!! Sharon, you have gone too, too, far…

Jodie Marsh Shows Off Her Missionary Tramp Stamp: Photos

JODIE Marsh cocks two phones and with Phil Tufnell and Patrick Monahan attempts to set a world record for the longest three-way phone call.

She does this while kneeling on a bed and displaying a tattoo of what appears to be a set of handlebars over her crotch – a missionary position tramp stamp – so adding to the impression that passers by at Waterloo station have stumbled across a live party wank.

Greatest Tattooed Mugshots Ever

It’s 09800LongRelief, an attempt to see how long you can keep going with Jodie Marsh on the other end of the blower. Thankfully Jodie’s voice is a registered contraceptive device and the only stopping the record being smashed is Tuffers pressing the off button as he slams the phone into his forehead….

Tony Curtis RIP: A Life In Photos

TONY Curtis RIP. You were Jamie’s dad with hair like a duck’s arse. Born Bernard Schwartz to immigrant parents in New York, Curtis became a true star. Curtis was married six times – “I wouldn’t be caught dead marrying a woman young enough to be my wife.

His close friends got to call him TC:

“I’ve been sick for most of my life, in my head. This showed itself in a lot of ways. I was insecure about women, so I wanted to go to bed with them all. I was insecure about being a poor Jewish boy. I was insecure that Hollywood never gave me an Oscar.”

How he started:

“All my life I had one dream, and that was to be in the movies. Maybe it was because I had a pretty rough childhood, or perhaps it was because I was always more than a little insecure, but as a kid I longed to see myself ten feet tall on the big screen. Through no fault of my teachers, I received almost no formal education, but after I spent three years in the Navy during World War II, the GI Bill allowed me to go to acting school on the government’s nickel. I may not have had much schooling, but it turned out I had a gift for acting. When I walked out on that stage, it felt like a hand in a velvet glove. I wasn’t scared; I wasn’t even nervous. I just loved being the center of attention, just like I’d always known I would.

Tony Curtis – do they make them like him any more? Do the agents and PRs allow it..?

Preston And Chantelle: It’s Over When OK! Says It Is

PRESTON and Chantelle Houghton: The most connived, contrived and made-for-tabloid love story in the history of connived love stories is now at an end. You can read the non-story so far here.

And in today’s OK! instalment you can hear:

Sam Preston: “It would be ridiculous to get back with her.”

Chantelle Preston Houghton: “He’s left me gutted and heart broken.”

What you might call empty.

Inside and Chantelle hugs her mum and says she still loves Preston; and Preston wonders why Chantelle doesn’t just call his instead of talking to OK! about calling him.

Myleene Klass And The Married Hollywood Sex Pest

MYLEENE Klass says a top Hollywood star who was married not much over six months ago asked her for a shag. Indeed, he went further and presented her with a sex contract.

Myleene is turning into a  one-woman content factory. She delivers tabloid titbits like a Daily Star reporter – light on facts but big on the possibility that there might be some.

Here’s Myleene:

Says Klass:

“About six months ago, a newly married Hollywood star asked me to sign some kind of sex contract with him. I just thought: “Mate, which planet are you from?

“I met him a few times and when I went to interview him it was like something out of a film.

“We were having lunch and as the starter arrived he launched into it. I was like: ‘Bugger I’ve got main and dessert to go – I’m stuck here!’

“Then his PA came over with a confidentiality contract. I just thought: ‘Oh my God, your poor wife.’ I don’t want to be a marriage wrecker.”

Rolling Stone Wife Jo Wood Is Beyond Parody On Her Indian Pilgrimage

JO Wood, estranged wife of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood is on a “pilgrimage” across India. She’s keeping her diary in Hello!. It is beyond parody.
Having flown to India and then taken a connecting flight to Coimbatore, Jo writes:

“There are dogs and cows in the road, and crazy driving. I’ve arrived.”

She has not arrived at her journey’s end, rather Jo has rocked up to her ashram.

Jo heads to a “tree graveyard”. She is saluting Project Greenhands, which raises awareness for environmental issues.

Says Jo of the jet plane:

“I plant a little tree. It’s good to know I’ve given a plant life.”

Then a vignette that stands repeating. Green Jo is now in a car:

“…we pass a little old lady whose bent double as she shuffles along the road. Her flip-flops are worn through so I take off mine and give them to her. Her face lights up. It’s puts life into perspective for me. A pair of flip-flops means nothing to me, but to her they mean everything.”

Although a lift would be nice.
