Lady GaGa nips out in racy see-through lace catsuit at NY fashion week

London, September 16 (ANI): Lady GaGa continued her shock tactics as she stepped out in a bizarre see-through red lace catsuit teamed up with eye mask and eccentric spiky hair piece at the New York fashion week.

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old recently gave a blood-covered performance and faked her own death at the MTV Video Music Awards, during which she changed her outfit five times, reports the Daily Mail.

However, the ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker’s appearance was said to be a little toned down at the Marc Jacobs Spring Summer 2010 fashion show after party, where she bumped into fellow ‘shocker’ Madonna.

Madonna admitted she was “very flattered” by comparisons to the newcomer.

The Queen of Pop complimented the star, saying: “She looks like she’s going to a carnival in Venice, very beautiful.” (ANI)

Lady Gaga says no to judging ‘American Idol’

Washington, Sep 14 (ANI): Lady Gaga has said that she does not want to be a judge on TV show ‘American Idol’, because it is difficult for her to criticise someone else’s talent.

The ‘Poker Face’ singer denied that she would be a judge on the show.

“I did appear on the show but I am not going to be a judge. I generally feel uncomfortable judging other artists anyway. I don’t feel that a musician’s life is a contest,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

The singer also slammed shows that push new artists straight into the limelight, claiming they should spend time nurturing their talent.

“It’s more about growing and struggling and playing live. It would be very uncomfortable for me to judge someone else,” she said.

Robbie Williams asks girlfriend’s mum to share his home

London, Aug 21 (ANI): Brit singer Robbie Williams is said to be so taken with his girlfriend’s mum that he has invited her to move in with them.

Williams, 35, is currently dating 30-year-old Turkish American actress Ayda Field, and he wants her mum Gwen to live in his country pile near Swindon for months at a time.

The actor apparently bonded with Gwen over a shared love of poker, and he has been flying her over to the UK from her California home regularly since getting the keys to his 8.5million pounds Wilts mansion in January.

“Robbie has really hit it off with Ayda’s mum. One of his hobbies is playing poker with a small group of pals including his mate Jonathan Wilkes,” the Sun quoted a source as saying.

“Gwen has joined in a few times, and on a couple of occasions Robbie and Gwen have carried on playing into the wee small hours after everyone else went to bed,” the source said.

With Williams and Field moving back to the UK full-time ahead of his new album release, he’s keen for Gwen to come, too.

“Robbie’s new house is massive and it would be a lonely place to rattle about in on your own,” the source said.

“But Ayda and Gwen will have a lot of fun together. There are tennis courts and a gym and some nice countryside.

“Plus there is completely separate accommodation so Gwen can have her privacy,” the source added. (ANI)

Oz teens increasingly betting mobile phones, virginity

Sydney, Aug 18 (ANI): An Australian study conducted on youth gambling has discovered that teenagers are betting their mobile phones, running up debt on their parents’ credit cards, and even wagering their virginity.

The research conducted by the Central Coast Problem Gambling Service found most teens over 14 have gambled for money or goods, whether it is in the playground, online or illegally at pubs and clubs, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

In accordance with the find, the service has responded by creating early intervention workshops that it hopes to extend to the Hunter through Woodrising Neighbourhood Centre in Lake Macquarie.

The study of 200 teens revealed that 62 percent of those under the age of 14 and 77 per cent of those aged up to 17 had gambled for money or items, including mobile phones and MP3 players.

Of those, a quarter had lost more than they had intended, and 6 per cent under 18 had played a poker machine.

Chris Davidson, manager at the Problem Gambling Service, said one girl confessed to losing her virginity over a bet, while another admitted he had stolen his parents’ credit card and lost 3000 dollars in online betting.

Teens can bet online, mainly using overseas websites, with little more than their parents’ drivers licence and credit card.

A counsellor for Woodrising, John Hazelwood, has worked as an adolescent and gambling counsellor in the region and said he had treated youths with poker machine habits.

He said the rising popularity of online gambling, especially online poker, meant many young people could hide their addiction. (ANI)

London, July 7 (ANI): Former Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne and his ex-wife Simone Callahan stepped out together at the Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday, igniting rumors of a renewed love match.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Warne and Simone looked a happy couple in the grandstands at the royal box end.

‘Royal protection officers played poker, traded porn in Buckingham Palace’

London, Jun 30 (ANI): A former royal protection officer, who has been accused of being involved in a 3-million-pound betting and property scam, has laid claims that his colleagues played poker and traded pornography while working at Buckingham Palace.

Paul Page, 38, of Granville Road, Chafford Hundred, Grays, Essex, is said to have allegedly cheated colleagues and others out of their life savings.

Page, who describes his job as an “easy life”, denies fraudulent trading, intimidation and threatening to take revenge on a victim who spoke to police between January 1 2003 and March 30 2007.

His wife Laura, 42, was acquitted on June 26 of charges she originally faced in connection with the case.

During his opening defence at Southwark Crown Court today, Page, a father-of-five, revealed that officers in the royal protection command could earn 50,000-60,000 pounds a year with overtime “for doing very little”.

Shifts involved two hours on post, followed by at least an hour off post.

“You didn’t work for a living. That is the bottom line,” the Telegraph quoted him as saying.

“You have got time to study… There was one officer and he did sell porn. He used to get it from Holland, bring it back and sell it to officers while on duty.

“Everyone knew about it but no one would say anything. Officers were running poker games for money in down time. If people want to do that that is fair enough but senior officers let it go,” he said.

Page also revealed that members of the royal household instilled a class culture and royal protection officers were treated as a “necessary evil” who were expected to turn a blind eye to crime at the palace.

“You are not police officers any more. For example instances of domestic abuse in the royal household where the servants live and sleep in the palace,” he said.

“Some have drink problems and fight. You are told not to get involved. There is a class culture within the palace.

“You are treated like dirt – that includes police officers on the gate.

“Some (members of the royal household) are very nice but the majority, they treat you like you are on a lower level,” he revealed.

He added that he believed money was “thrown at you” because the security level had to be kept up.

“I shouldn’t be saying what I am saying but it has to be done – I need you to understand the culture,” Page added at the court hearing. (ANI)

Rihanna says ‘Brown-blasting’ song on Kanye West’s blog is fake

Washington, May 14 (ANI): Rihanna’s representatives have denied reports of her recording a new song, blasting ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, and they insist that the recording, which appears on Kanye West’s blog, is a fake.

As per the reports, Rihanna came out with a new track, titled Silly Boy, in which she seemingly mocks her former lover over their infamous bust-up in February.

The song, which also reportedly featured guest vocals from Lady Gaga, was posted on West’s Internet blog at the weekend.

The track contained the lyrics, “Silly boy get outta here, I don’t want you any more, the only thing I want from you is to stay away. I said I’m not coming back, you fooled me once but you can’t have that ego turning. Just too bad for you, that when you had me, didn’t know what to do, she’s over you.

“Cause you had a good girl, good girl, girl. That’s a keeper. You had a good girl, good girl but didn’t know how to treat her.”

But representatives for both artists have denied they were involved in the song, and the Barbadian singer’s rep have insisted she is not on the track.

“The song is a fake… It’s not Lady Gaga,” Contactmusic quoted the Poker Face star’s spokesperson as telling Access Hollywood. (ANI)

A-Rod took steroids as teen, and while with Yankees, claims new book

New York, Apr 30 (ANI): An upcoming book about Alex Rodriguez claims that he might have bulked up with steroids as early as high school – and was suspected of juicing while playing for the Yankees.

The explosive tome, A-Rod, strongly suggests he didn’t give up performance enhancers when he came to New York – a point which defies the slugger’s claims that he dabbled in steroids only while with the Texas Rangers.

Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts, who broke the story that A-Rod flunked a steroid screening in 2003, reveals fellow Bombers nicknamed the third baseman “B—h T-s” in 2005, reports The New York Daily News.

Also an unnamed major-leaguer is quoted as saying Rodriguez and steroid-tainted pitcher Kevin Brown were seen together with human growth hormone – HGH – in 2004.

The book is published by HarperCollins, and set to be released May 12.

Roberts was also told by a former high school teammate that the future No.1 MLB draft pick was on steroids and his coach knew it.

Another student said the son of coach Rich Hofman admitted he saw Rodriguez use steroids.

Hofman said it was news to him.

“Whatever he was doing, he was doing it somewhere else,” he said.

The 255-page book also chronicles A-Rod’s off-the-field escapades: his poker habit; his divorce from his wife, Cynthia and the relationship with Madonna. (ANI)
