HILE performing in Connecticut at the Mohegan Sun's 15th anniversary celebration, songstress Jennifer Lopez broke down on stage in a tale which has become a huge story.

The final couple to appear in the spotlight danced much like Lopez and her estranged husband during their American Idol performance in May, just weeks before they announced their split.

Bay. He said that it annoys him that some people are amused that a person from such a high profile family would end up sleeping, as he does, under the Union St. bridge. “My family turned their back on me, basically, when I was having a hard time.

While Madonna faces the trial and tribulations of pretending to be British, her brother gets to deal with the reality of frostbite. “I got frostbite on my feet last winter; a friend of mine lost all ten toes.

Lindsay Lohan to pose nude for Playboy

OURCES tell us the deal has been in the works for months, and that Lindsay balked at an initial $750K offer because she wanted one million dollars to show the world what her momma gave her. Reports say that Hugh Hefner and Co. recently came back to Lindsay with an offer less than her asking price, but close enough for her to sign on the
dotted lines. No word yet on which issue Lindsay will be featured in, but it's a good bet she'll be on the cover. $750,000 for Lindsay Lohan? How senile is Hugh Hefner getting over there? He's probably letting woman with real tits live in the mansion at this point. It's goddamn anarchy! Well, now that we know how Lindsay planned to eventually pay her lawyer.

It will also premiere on November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (International) in Abuja and December 10, Human Rights Day (International). According to Chucks, the movie is needed to address the issues affecting our future. 'Children are the leaders of tomorrow, what we put into them is what we get from the. We need to be careful how we treat them; most adults misbehaving today are products of yesterday's abuse. So, if we don't want a damaged tomorrow, let's not damage the leaders of tomorrow,” he said.
