The Tabloids Want Lindsay Lohan Dead, Although Paris Hilton Or Britney Spears Would Do

national-enquirerIN this week’s National Enquirer, readers are invited to play a game: “WHO’LL DIE NEXT!” Brian Reade can join in. Will it be Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears or – hey – why not make your own suggestion? Set your Celebrity Death Text Alert App. to “Stand By” and read on:

To narrow the field, the magazine reminds gamers that Brittany Murphy and Casey Johnson are already dead. This leaves a reduced death pool. The Enquirer adds further help by listing the possible causes of death:

Brittany Murphy (1977-2009)

Paris Hilton – “Hard Partying”
Mischa Barton – “Rehab hell”
Eminem – “Fighting addiction”
Britney Spears – “New meltdown”

Hmmmm… Who to vote for? The biggest picture, however, is of Lindsay Lohan. Fear is that she “weeps” to death.

Inside the magazine, and DJ AM Adam Goldstein remains dead. But things are not getting easier, guessers. The fame drain is enlarged to take in some more youngsters who remain stubbornly alive:

Tara Reid – “Troubled”
Amy Winehouse – “Fighting”
Kirsten Dunst – “Depression”

Madeleine McCann: Amaral’s Diamond, Dead In A Dream And Four Theories

mccanns13MADDIE WATCH – Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann: Maddie ‘died’ in the family apartment; Maddy was lying on a hillside, Kate McCann’s “agony” and Amaral’s wearing a diamond earring…

Pictures Of All The Madeleine McCann Suspects

Goncalo Amaral says any ban on his book, Maddie: The Truth Of The Lie, is against his freedom of speech. The book says Madeleine McCann died in the family apartment. The McCanns says this is not so – she was abducted. She want libel damages.

The news:

Daily Express (front page): “MADDIE ‘DIED’ IN APARTMENT”

Portuguese police chief’s amazing claim to court ion £1m McCann libel case

Claim. Not fact. Do the police deal in claims? Do the courts?

MADELEINE McCann died in her family’s holiday apartment as the result of a tragic accident and her parents concealed her body, a police chief told a court in Portugal yesterday.

So they were made “arguidos”. But the McCanns are no longer arguidos. Because – get this – the above was a theory. No fact.

One officer even claimed that Portuguese police changed their inquiry from a missing person search to a murder investigation after Kate told him she had a nightmare and had seen Madeleine’s body lying on a hillside.

Can a dream be a fact?

The Sun calls it a “sick claim” delivered in a “courtroom outburst”. Back in the Express:

He said: “The conclusion that was arrived at was that Madeleine McCann died at the apartment and the McCann couple simulated the abduction to hide the fact that they had not taken care of their children.

Chief Inspector Tavares de Almeida told the court that he believed the couple, from Rothley, Leicestershire, were directly involved in Madeleine’s disappearance – a theory he said was shared by Portuguese and British officers working on the case.

“There was a tragic accident in the apartment that night and they neglected the care of their children. It was the conclusion of both Portuguese and British police. We have always spoken of a tragic accidental death. There was no homicide.”

Adding:

Asked if he thought Madeleine was dead, Mr de Almeida replied: “Yes. She is dead. It was not only the police who believed this but the public prosecutor. The McCanns did not kill her but they concealed the body.”

The Scotsman:

(He told the court the main evidence for this was the findings of British police sniffer dogs sent to Portugal to examine the flat. The McCanns’ lawyer, Isabel Duarte, challenged this claim, arguing that the sniffer dog results did not constitute proof and were not allowed as evidence.)

Let’s stick to the facts:

After a tense opening, their spokeswoman confirmed that the couple found listening to the allegations very painful. She said: “I think it is hurting them. They can feel hurt by these things being repeated again and again and again. However, they know what really happened so they are confident. They just want to find their daughter.”

Daily Mirror (front page): “MADDY DREAM MAKE KATE A SUSPECT”

Just weeks after Madeleine McCann vanished, sobbing mum Kate rang the Portuguese detective appointed to look after her to tell of a horrific dream in which she had seen her daughter’s dead body.

Distraught Kate said Madeleine had been lying on a hillside overlooking the beach at Praia da Luz. She begged Inspector Ricardo Paiva to search the spot.
And..?

Astonishingly, rather than inspiring pity at a desperate mother’s plight, the incident sparked only suspicion in the minds of the officers who were supposed to be hunting Madeleine and her abductor.

Is that astonishing? The Star calls it a “Kate’s murder dream.” The Sun is astonished:

KATE McCann had a dream in which she saw the body of missing daughter Madeleine on a hillside above their holiday resort, a court heard yesterday.

And after she told Portuguese cops of the nightmare, they became convinced the little girl had been KILLED rather than abducted.

That might be because Kate McCann “had seen her daughter’s dead body.”

The McCanns’ Portuguese police liaison officer Inspector Ricardo Paiva is on the stand:

But the detective admitted the police had been suspicious of the McCanns from the start – simply because they had tried to give the stalled hunt for Madeleine some much-needed momentum.

So it wasn’t the dream that make Kate McCann a person of interest to the Portuguese police – it was the fact that she was the moth of the missing child.

He added: “They disobeyed our request to keep quiet about the details of their daughter’s disappearance while we conducted our investigation. Instead, they turned it into a media circus.”

They didn’t do that alone – someone who worked on the case actually wrote a book.

Let’s stick to the facts:

Kate regularly shook her head in frustration. Gerry remained grim-faced.

Kate. Gerry. Not Mr and Mrs McCann. We are not looking at a trial in a foreign country – a trial that investigates whether freedom of speech has its limits. We are just watching the parents of the missing girl.

The Sun (front page): Maddie is dead and you hid her

Antonella Lazzeri delivers “His smiles, their pain”, telling readers that Kate McCann is

“Stroking a photo of Maddie tied to her handbag, Kate McCann”. She looks “tearfully down to the floor, horror-stricken… she flinched when the cop said of Madeleine in a loud and stark voice ‘She is dead’

Goncalo Amaral “smiled”.., “he diamond in his left ear glittering in the courtroom’s lights.”

Daily Star (front page): “Madeleine died inside apartment’”

Kate inched closer to her husband in the public gallery of the Palace of Justice in Lisbon as the officer gave his verdict.

A verdict? It was a claim not long ago.

District Attorney Jose Menezes, who handled the case, said there had been no evidence to charge the McCanns with any crime.

But he believed they neglected their children, and lied about how often they checked on them during a meal with pals at a tapas bar the night Madeleine disappeared. He said four possibilities of what happened to the youngster remain – kidnap, child-trafficking, homicide or her body was hidden after an accidental death.

Now we’re getting somrwhere. Only four theories.

Meanwhile in court:

Mrs McCann wearing a dark coloured floral dress sat impassively in the front row of the court room beside her husband. The pair held hands and exchanged occasional whispers and nods as they were passed notes by interpreters informing them of court proceedings, which were carried out in Portuguese.

Mr Amaral, dressed in a dark suit and purple tie, was seated at the bench beside his legal team, fifteen feet away from the couple. He spent much of the proceedings with his eyes closed avoiding the direct gaze of the McCanns.

More fact sin the Mail, where Kate’s “agony” is headline news. And we learn that, “Mr and Mrs McCann [are] both doctors”.

A child is missing. One fact.

Tila Tequila Says She Knows Who ‘Killed’ Casey Johnson

tila_tequila7CASEY Johnson is dead. Her death not only gave us the first Twitter Coma but introduced one woman content factory Tila Tequila to the great unwashed. It also pricked our memories of Simon Cowell’s old associate and reality telly fodder Jasmine Lennard.

Tila Tequila (NSFW)

Tila was scheduled to appear on Larry King Live. but before doing so, Lennard issued a legal letter warning the show against Tila using it “as a platform to make further false and defamatory allegations” about her.

Casey Johnson

The lawyer says, among other things, Tila better not allege Jasmine has a criminal record or outstanding warrant, that Jasmine broke into Tila’s home, that Jasmine is a prostitute, and that Jasmine is pregnant or has ever been pregnant.

By coincidence, the interview is scrapped.

Madeleine McCann: Coronation Street’s Simon Missing And Amaral’s Trial

mccanns-birthday21MADDIE WATCH – Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann: Portugal, Amaral, libel and Coronation Street:

IN Portugal, Kate and Gerry McCann’s legal action against Goncalo Amaral will last three days. As the disappearance of an innocent child became a form of entertainment, a brand for PRs and speculation, Amaral penned Maddie: The Truth Of The Lie, in which he claimed that Madeleine died in her family’s holiday flat on the night she disappeared.

That a detective who worked on the high-profile case should make his claims in a book – even using the tabloid nickname for the child – is pretty much in keeping with a single-thread story that became a chance for viewers at home to play armchair detective, show how much you care by a mawkish display of ribbon wearing and gawp at the girl’s bereft parents.

Pictures of Jonas Altberg’s orgy here

The story goes that Katia has “dumped” someone called Dan Turner so she can fondle Scandinavian fish fancier Basshunter “in a ploy to become more popular” and give us the tabloid couple Bass-Inova. It’s what the Star terms a “bizarre ‘one out, one in’ sex game”.

Only:

But last night fans saw her dump the hunky musician after she claimed he had got “too clingy”. He was close to tears and said: “I feel like a kid who got loads of sweets and then had them taken away.”

The ex-lover of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood jumped into bed with two other girls who were both paid £500 each for the sex session. Former vice girl Ellie Hughes last night told how sexy Katia – who took no cash – joined in the foursome for fun months before she met wrinkly rocker Ronnie, 62. And the man the three beauties bedded was also a millionaire in his 60s.

Kate and Gerry McCann are back in to Portugal for the libel trial against Goncalo Amaral, the detective who penned ‘The Truth of The Lie’, a book questioning the McCanns’ account about what happened to their daughter.

Says Clarence Mitchell:

“The details of their travel plans and itinerary will at their request remain private.”

Which means that journalists will actually have to follow the McCanns rather than simply rocking up for press conferences.

Tiger Woods’ Women (Alleged)

Of course, it’s open season on Woods and you’ve got the balls you can pretty much say whatever you like about the golfer and wait for the fame and lawyers to come calling.

Radar says she’s looking for $1million for her book.

Loredana says her tome will tell all about Tiger’s “healthy appetite for arranged sex, threesomes, girls next door, girl-girl, and an answer to all the rumors surrounding Woods’ sexuality.”

Says Radar:

Loredana has kept a low public profile since being named as a Tiger mistress but and lately has been spotted at an upscale Florida country club on the golf course, taking golf lessons.

The Death Of Casey Johnson In Adverts, Tequila, Pictures And Tweets

tila-tequilaCASEY Johnson has died and her former lover Tila Tequila, a reality TV star, having twittered her lover’s  coma now uses her Twitter page to share her private moments with the dead soclaite. No, it’s not a sex tape. It’s a prank, a joke Tila played on Johnson a few days before the young woman died.

Casey Johnson In Pictures

There is nothing poignant about any of this. This is not ululating or sobbing. Loss affects us all differently, but pushing videos of the one you loved smacks of tackiness and a desperate need to be seen. Yes, the video was puiblished before Johsnson died, but Tequila has linked to it since. She’s also using her Twitter page to plug her gossip blog. Look not at the dead young woman. Look at me. Look! Look! Look! So we look. And we see nothing.

In Pictures: Katie Price’s New Year’s Eve Party: Dane Bowers And Alex Reid ‘Fight’

katie-price-partyWITH Alex Reid (Mr Toffee Crisp 2010) and Toe Muffler Dane Bowers safely out of harm’s way in the Big Brother house, Katie Price and Peter Andre are free to resume their war of words.

Katie Price’s Career As Jordan (NSFW)

All over the web are pictures taken at Katie Price’s new Year’s Eve bash – literally (allegedly). The Star says Peter Andre is unhappy. This is “dignified” Peter Andre who, reportedly, told Alex Reid:

“You’re gonna get your legs broken!”

Now Peter Andre is:

Fuming dad Peter Andre could consult lawyers after the New Year’s Eve party, which turned into a boozy and violent bash. Pete, 36, is furious Junior, four, and Princess Tiáamii, two, had been present at the wild party.”

The party is said to have featured an alleged threesome rumpus, in his Redi hits Bowers and yelled:

“Dane’s lucky he’s not dead. He’s been on the phone to Katie. He’s gobbing off like a big f***ing p***k.”

While you analyse the macho language of these hard men (really, really hard men; you want some?), a source says:

“It was a family party and there were lots of children there with nannies to look after them. Princess and Junior enjoyed themselves and were in bed long before the fight so knew nothing about it.”

Anyhow, Bowers and Reid now say there was no fight. But there are pictures being broadcast all over the media – pictures that prove that when Katie Price doesn’t do anything, she’s still news…

Bono Kicks Off World Cup With Nelson Mandela

bono-brownIN January 2009, Bono, the U2 frontman, Mr G9, wrote an OpEd for the New York Times that we believed to be a parody. To ensure that the new decade works for the good of mankind, Bono will be fronting a concert and lending his name to organic rubber wrist bands advocating tax-breaks for elder statesmen of rock.

Before we see what Bono has this year, let’s hark back to last year’s missive:

Once upon a couple of weeks ago …

I’m in a crush in a Dublin pub around New Year’s. Glasses clinking clicking, clashing crashing in Gaelic revelry: swinging doors, sweethearts falling in and out of the season’s blessings, family feuds subsumed or resumed. Malt joy and ginger despair are all in the queue to be served on this, the quarter-of-a-millennium mark since Arthur Guinness first put velvety blackness in a pint glass.

Celebrity Big Brother House In Photos

THOSE all-important first photos of the Celebrity Big Brother house are yours to gaze upon. The show’s producer, Shirley Jones (look out for her on Reality TV Producers – a fly-on-the-wall show following Big Brother staff looking for work and a spot on 100 Greatest Big Brother Moments) says the place is inspired by Dante’s Inferno.

Like Celebrity Big Brother, Dante’s inferno is something everyone has heard of but very few people have bothered to look at. It’s fitting. Says Jones:

“The famous line from Dante’s Inferno is ‘Abandon hope all ye who enter here’ which has inspired much of what we have done to the house, particularly the entrance which is dark and cavernous with flaming walls.”
