New York, April 22 (ANI): Lindsay Lohan has been spending time with ‘a different man every night’ following her break-up with Samantha Ronson, according to a friend.

Friends of the ‘Mean Girls’ star say that the actress has been “a complete and utter wreck” since Ronson broke it off with her two weeks ago, and is drowning her sorrows in a sea of men, reports the New York Post.

One friend said that some of the guys include ’90210′ star Kellan Lutz — who “has been out of town this week, but they are in constant contact” as well as British paparazzo Chris Jepson.

According to a source, on April 15, Lohan and Jepson were inseparable at a Hollywood Hills house party.

They even went into a bathroom together and didn’t come out for quite some time, the source added.

Friends are terrified that Lohan is in a ‘meltdown’ situation and has no career to fall back on. (ANI)

April 17, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Moscow, April 15 (RIA Novosti) A gang of four teenagers who broke into some 10 shops in two months to help themselves to chocolates and other sweet treats was detained in western Ukraine.

The police in the Ternopil region were quoted by the Kriminal.tv crime website as saying that the four teenagers mostly stole chocolate bars and ice-creams, and that they were especially fond of Kinder Surprise.

Police chief Alexander Oleinik was cited by the website as saying that all the teenagers were from poor families and that when apprehended they admitted to breaking into the shops to eat as many chocolates as they could.

The teenagers usually got into the shops through roofs and targeted stores without alarm systems, often stealing alcohol to accompany their sugar-rich meals.

New Zealand expected to exceed Kyoto target -report

April 15, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

WELLINGTON, April 15 (Reuters) – New Zealand will better its target for cutting greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol because of drought and reassessment of its forests, a government report said on Wednesday.

The country was now expected to produce around 9.6 million tonnes less of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases than allowed in the protocol’s first commitment period of 2008-2012.

Under the Protocol, the U.N.’s main weapon in the fight against climate change, New Zealand is meant to show no increase from 1990 levels between 2008-2012.

That compared with an estimate last year that New Zealand would have a greenhouse gas deficit of around 21.7 million tonnes.

“It is good news that we may exceed our Kyoto target but we need to be cautious of these projections given their volatility,” Climate Change Minister Nick Smith said in a statement.

The surplus would be worth NZ$241 million ($140 million) against last year’s liability of NZ$546 million. The costs were based on a price of NZ$25.31 a tonne of carbon set by the Treasury.

The data is a net estimate of how

Jordan says hormones made her accuse hubby of cheating

April 15, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, April 15 (ANI): Katie Price a.k.a Jordan has her hormones to blame for making her doubt husband Peter Andre’s loyalty towards her.

The glamour girl was left fuming after catching her better half deleting texts on a reality show.

“I did think he was cheating on me. The sex was different, he was deleting all his text messages and wouldn’t leave his phone on the side,” the Sun quoted her as saying.

“He was on the computer all the time, too. I definitely thought something was up,” she added.

But the 30-year-old now holds her pre-menstrual tension responsible for letting her imagine the singer’s adultery.

She said: “I don’t think he’s cheating on me any more. We’ve cleared all that up. I had bad PMT that day.” (ANI)

How John Mayer used to keep Jessica Simpson ‘quiet’

April 15, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New York, April 15 (ANI): John Mayer had a trick up his sleeve to keep Jessica Simpson quiet and that was to tell her he was more attracted to the way she looked than how she talked, reveals a friend.

The 31-year-old used to allegedly tell the stunning blonde that he was drawn towards her spiritual side.

“John used to tell Jess all the time, ‘I’m really attracted to your spiritual side,’” the New York Post quoted a friend as saying.

“He’d tell her that every time she opened her mouth to speak. It was a nice way of basically saying, ‘Just sit there and be pretty, and don’t ruin it with talk.’

“The sad thing is she started to tell people, ‘I’m working on being more spiritual,’ and then just sit there quietly,” the friend added. (ANI)
