This weeks stories & pics
Amanda Bynes’ Twitter feuds: who’s next? (celebrity.uk.msn.com).
“In between run-ins with the law, troubled actress Amanda Bynes has been using Twitter as a battleground, picking fights with celebrities and lashing out at anyone who shows concern.”
Perhaps it’s easy to judge when you are not going through those problems yourself. I still feel perhaps Twitter should take the initiative here: I’m sure if it were you or I doing this we’d find our account suspended pretty pronto.
Of course, I couldn’t let the innuendo here go without graphical comment. Amanda suing the New York Police Department after recent arrest (digitalspy.co.uk)
“… then locked up overnight for coming home after a facial and working out with my trainer like the good girl that I am.”
Oh, crikey!

Stars rocked Twickenham for Chime For Change charity (bbc.co.uk).
“Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Lopez were among the performers at Saturday’s Chime For Change concert, a star-studded event at London’s Twickenham Stadium that saw a host of celebrities appear in aid of a global campaign for girls’ and women’s empowerment.”
Much raised for a worthy, essential cause.
And Jennifer Lopez (hawtcelebs.com)
Chime for Change promotes education, health and justice for girls and women everywhere. You can find out more at the official site at www.chimeforchange.org.
Jennifer Lopez defended getting her bum out on Britain’s Got Talent (mirror.co.uk).
“Jennifer Lopez was asked to wear the revealing costume which left her bum on show on Tuesday night by Britain’s Got Talent bosses.”
Well I thank you for it, J.Lo! It was, if you did not see, a black version of the red costume she wore for the Billboard Music Awards last week.

Tulisa Contostavlos got her bikini on in a Marbella break after split from Danny Simpson (music.uk.msn.com) but…
Burnt her bum (thesun.co.uk).
Oops!
Here’s the pics (gotceleb.com).
The Current Bun then tried to arrange a perhaps longer future break for her with a cocaine deal sting (thesun.co.uk).
“The singer was taped telling undercover Sun reporters at London’s posh Nobu restaurant: ‘Half my phone book sells it. Of course I can get it for you.’”
Double oops!
“Former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos condemned under cover reporter Mazher Mahmood, known as the Fake Sheikh, for ‘openly lying’ to the judge and jury, as her trial for allegedly brokering a drugs deal collapsed.”
A case of fake Sheikh, rattle and bog roll, which is pretty much what the Current Bun is used for in greasy transport cafes country-wide.
“She was told [in court] her trial is expected to take place on July 14—the day after her 26th birthday.”
The Crown Prosecution Service announced: “We have determined that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution is in the public interest.”
Catch up with more on this story in Pick of the Week 10th June.
“[Met Police] statement reads: ‘Officers from Westminster have today, Tuesday 4 June, arrested two people—a 35-year-old man [A] and a 24-year-old woman [B]—by appointment at a central London police station on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.’”
I guess Tulisa’s desperately desired Hollywood star turned out to neon, and it just blinked out (celebrity.uk.msn.com).
“She told The Sun reporter that if she appeared in a film it would be ‘front page in every newspaper. Every person in the UK would want to watch it and see why the hell has she left the X Factor to do what.’”

The Cheeky Girls told of their anorexia hell and how they were bankrupted by their boobs (dailymail.co.uk).
“‘Not even the size of a cherry!’ cries Monica. ‘And we were not looking sexy enough for them.’ ‘So basically, we bankrupted ourselves for our boobs,’ says Gabriela.”
Remember them? “Touch My Bum” and all that? A truly awful tale indeed, all the more tragic in that Gabriela admits “I’d probably still do it, so what the hell?”.

Farrah Abraham attended Exxxotica Convention to promote her porno sex tape (gossipcenter.com).
Unsure if her Backdoor Teen Mom costar will be making an appearance, Farrah said of James Deen:
“He was gentle because I made him be gentle, but I think in life he has more of an anger issue which makes him not so gentle.”
She said he had a small dinkle too (hollywoodlife.com), but having seen the feature, her “hired” companion didn’t look so small when he was gently hammering it up her backdoor.
Some have commented disparagingly that Farrah was charging for autographs. I recall similar remarks were made of Heroes Hayden Panettiere a few years back and a convention-goer’s reminder that, in fact, most celebs that appear at conventions now do charge for autographs (speedballsgeekfest.blogspot.co.uk).

Lawyers warn over lads mag sales (news.uk.msn.com).
“Campaigners are warning high street retailers to remove magazines that display naked and near-naked images on their covers or face the risk of legal action.”
Obviously I have no issue at all with the pictorial content, but it’s the accompanying dumb text that reads like it was wrote for an episode of On the Buses that I find demeaning to the fairer (and equally intelligent) sex. Yeah, you can pull me up for some of that too, but I do try! :)
Marc Quinn unveiled naked portrait of Lara Stone’s bare baby bump at the 55th Venice Biennale festival (telegraph.co.uk).
“… rather than depicting Lara ‘doing a Demi’ (the side profile that a nude, pregnant Demi Moore pulled on the cover of Vanity Fair in 1991, and that other celebrities have continued to copy) Marc Quinn had other ideas for the Dutch beauty.”
But Quinn’s other pregnant piece at the Venice Biennale, a giant pregnant inflatable figure of Alison Lapper was met with bafflement by the Catholic Church:
“Father Caputo said he was ‘perplexed’ by the decision to place the inflatable figure close to the church and that it was ‘removed from the context’ of the bulk of artworks which are being shown on the island.”
Indeed, the pumping up a baby bump must have been malapropos at mass.
Here’s a round up of the eighty-eight national pavilions at this year’s Venice Biennale.
“In the Greek Pavilion, a three-part film about money contains footage of an African immigrant pushing a supermarket trolley through the streets of Athens while hunting for scrap metal to sell—a reminder, of course, that the land of Homer is still flirting with bankruptcy.”
And a shortage of shopping trolleys at their version of Asda, as I’m sure UKIP’s Nigel Farage will be keen to contend.
Britain’s entry by Jeremy Deller attracted notoriety for Prince Harry’s penchant for birds and William Morris tossing Roman Abramovich’s luxury yacht (news.uk.msn.com).
Yes, it is indeed Pre-Raphaelite and Arts and Crafts Movement William Morris and not Great Red Dragon William Blake as MSN would have it.

The Guardian’s Jonathan Jones queried if modern art now too mainstream to be subversive? (guardian.co.uk).
“The language of modern British art often sounds radically left-wing. Everything that makes it happen, however, comes from the profound changes that Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair brought to Britain. It is nothing like as subversive as it wants to be.”
Considering Jonathan’s recent admission of the national shame yet best 25 years of British art history I’m unsure whether to shake a left or right hand. I’ll just tweek a tit instead.

Studios ask Google to remove Dotcom’s Mega from search results (wired.co.uk).
“At the time of writing, the Mega homepage does not contain any download options, only links to company information and user login or registration sections.”
Still, would it not be ignoring that rather rotund elephant in the room to attempt to claim the multitude of such services that continued to profitably flourish after the Megaupload take-down are actually used for anything else. What did you last download from one? Everyone gives away gigabytes of cloud storage nowadays if you are just looking for a place to store and share your holiday snaps.
“Vikram Kumar, the chief executive of Mega, told The New Zealand Herald that Dotcom resigned to ‘focus on the extradition case, an upcoming music website, and to build a political party’”
Possible the file sharing cloud has just become too crowded too for the larger-than-life Kim?

“The animal, named Darwin, became famous on the internet last year after being found in an Ikea car park wearing a miniature shearling coat and a diaper. [Yasmin] Nakhuda is fighting to retain custody because it is illegal in Toronto to have a pet monkey”
“The law firm representing Ms Nakhuda said she would not be commenting on the decision. After she lost previous interim bids to get Darwin back, Ms Nakhuda left court distraught.”
