Uma Thurman's Stalker Placed Under Psychiatric Observation

                    

Jack Jordan once threatened to kill himself in front of her house and came back haunting her this October by calling her cell phone.



A man convicted of stalking Uma Thurman has been placed under medics' observation by police in Maryland after he was arrested for allegedly violating a restraining order filed against him by the Hollywood actress.

Jack Jordan was found guilty of fourth-degree stalking and one count of second-degree aggravated harassment by a jury in 2008 after he bombarded Thurman with notes and letters, and threatened to kill himself outside her New York home in 2005.

He was ordered to seek psychiatric counseling and stay away from the "Kill Bill" star for five years. But Jordan, 39, reportedly broke the order of protection in October by making a series of calls to the actress' cell and New York office phone, prompting Thurman to lodge an official complaint with cops.

Officers tracked Jordan down to Maryland and moved to arrest him days before America's Thanksgiving holiday. But police were stunned when they found Jordan sitting in front of a computer, with the star's name typed into a search engine, according to Lucille Baur, a spokesperson for the Montgomery County Police Department.

He appeared before court officials in a recent extradition hearing, to determine if he should be sent to New York, where there's a warrant for his arrest, but is said to have lost his temper and gone "berserk", according to the New York Post.

His outburst prompted authorities to place him under care at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility, and GossipCop.com claims another hearing has been set for December 21.

'Scream' Star Neve Campbell Has Secretly Filed for Divorce From John Light

                              

The actress reportedly ended her three years of marriage with the English actor in June and 'super secretly' filed the divorce papers.


Courteney Cox and David Arquette are not the only "Scream" stars whose marriage is wrecked for their co-star Neve Campbell reportedly has decided that it is over between her and husband John Light. TMZ reports the depicter of Sidney Prescott has "super secretly" filed for divorce five months ago.

The divorce is not yet finalized. And according to the documents filed in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by the site, the 37-year-old actress called it quits in June this year, citing irreconcilable differences. Neve allegedly also wanted the court from awarding John any spousal support.

The next hearing for Neve and John's divorce is scheduled to be held in a few weeks. While they are in the middle of making their separation official, a source close to the couple tells TMZ, "They're still really close friends, and it was a very amicable divorce."

Neve Campbell and English actor John Light, whom she met while filming "Investigating Sex", tied the knot in Malibu in May 2007 after dating for about two years. Previously, the Canadian beauty was married to actor Jeff Colt before they divorced in 1998.

Earlier this year in October, Courteney Cox and David Arquette announced that they split. However, the twosome, who has been married for 11 years and has a daughter Coco Riley Arquette, has not planned to divorce yet.

The rapper, who is rumored to perform at the prince's bachelor party, claims his track 'Wet' is 'the perfect anthem' for soon-to-be-married Prince William.



Rapper Snoop Dogg has dedicated his new single to Prince William - insisting he recorded it specially for the British royal to celebrate his engagement. The heir-to-the-throne recently announced his plans to wed longterm girlfriend Kate Middleton in 2011 and tabloid reports claimed the future king's brother, Prince Harry, was arranging a bachelor party with performances by Snoop Dogg and U.K. rapper Tinie Tempah.

Snoop Dogg admits he's yet to be approached to play at the bash - but the rumours inspired him to head into the studio to pen new track "Wet", which has been made available for listening pleasure.

He tells AllHipHop.com, "When I heard the royal family wanted to have me perform in celebration of Prince William's marriage, I knew I had to give them a little something. 'Wet' is the perfect anthem for Prince William or any playa to get the club smokin'."

Kim Kardashian Is Dead, Lying in Coffin for Charity Ad

Fans are encouraged to buy Kim Kardashian's life back by making donation to Alicia Keys' Keep a Child Alive.

Following Digital Life Sacrifice campaign which was launched earlier this week, Kim Kardashian lends her famous face for a promotional ad of Alicia Keys' initiative, Keep a Child Alive. The reality TV star is seen lying in a coffin with tagline "Kim Kardashian Is Dead".

"Kim sacrificed her digital life to give real life to millions of others affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India," it was further explained. "That means no more Facebook or Twitter until we buy her life back." To help raise money for this charity, fans can visit BuyLife.org or text "KIM" to 90999.

Leigh Blake, president and co-founder of Keep a Child Alive charity, said of the cause, "We're trying to sort of make the remark: Why do we care so much about the death of one celebrity as opposed to millions and millions of people dying in the place that we're all from?"

Tupac Shakur's New Bio Authorized by Mother

     

                                       December 01, 2010 07:38:04 GMT 'I trust him [author Kevin Powell] and his history of documenting my son's life, and I know he will do the book from his heart,' Afeni Shakur said.



The official life story of slain rap legend Tupac Shakur is heading to bookstores, more than 14 years after his tragic murder. Author Kevin Powell has won the approval from the star's mother, Afeni Shakur, to study Tupac's rise to fame and fortune in the first authorized work about the late icon since he was fatally shot in September 1996.

And Powell reveals he will have lots of memories to draw from for "Tupac Shakur: The Authorised Biography" because he had formed a close bond with the Changes lyricist in the years before his tragic death. In a statement, he says, "It is an honor to write what will be the definitive biography on the life and times of Tupac Shakur, one of the greatest icons in hip-hop and pop culture history."

"Our relationship began when I documented his journey while at Vibe (magazine) in the 1990s. And I will never forget being there at that Las Vegas hospital when Tupac's death was announced. He remains, all these years later, one of the most dynamic and complicated humans I've ever encountered. I will present Tupac as the very whole and multi-layered being he was, as I remember well his asking me, quite prophetically, to be (writer) Alex Haley to his Malcolm X."

Afeni Shakur, Tupac's estate executor, adds: "Kevin Powell is doing this Tupac Shakur biography with my full blessings. I trust him and his history of documenting my son's life, and I know he will do the book from his heart." A release date for the book, to be published by Simon & Schuster, had yet to be announced as WENN went to press.

Michael Jackson's Father Refiles Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Joe Jackson refiled the documents at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, allegedly seeking damages between $10 million and $500 million.


Michael Jackson's father Joe has refiled a wrongful death lawsuit in California after a federal judge insisted the case needed to be heard in a state court. Joe Jackson launched legal action against the star's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray in a federal court in August, accusing him of administering a fatal dose of anesthetic Propofol, which led to Michael's death in June 2009.

Jackson alleges he was being supported by the "Thriller" hitmaker at the time of his passing - a claim which gives him the necessary legal standing to pursue a wrongful death suit. U.S. District Judge John F. Walter ruled in November that some of the legal issues needed to be handled in a state court - and Jackson's lawyer refiled the documents at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, November 30, according to TMZ.com.

The lawsuit has also been amended to include Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas, a company which allegedly sold Propofol to Murray. Joe Jackson is said to be seeking damages between $10 million and $500 million in the suit for emotional distress, loss of support and "loss of comfort, aid, society and companionship".

Dr. Murray, who has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the star's death, is set to go on trial in January 2011.

Elton John's Husband 'Disgusted' by Extremist's

           Extremist's David Furnish was 'deeply saddened to discover that Canadian right-wing extremist religious groups would stoop to such sickening levels.'


Sir Elton John's husband David Furnish was "disgusted and deeply saddened" after learning homosexuals in his native Canada have been targeted by religious extremist groups. The "Rocket Man" served as guest editor of Wednesday, December 10's edition of Britain's The Independent newspaper to mark World AIDS Day, while his partner has written an article about the stigma associated with the disease.

In the piece, Furnish also claims several right-wing religious groups around the world have been brutally targeting homosexuals, with a few extremists allegedly exposing their identities in smear campaigns. And the filmmaker was shocked to discover some of the organizations are based in his native Canada.

In the article, he writes, "Such attitudes are encouraged by conservative religious leaders (backed by funding from right-wing evangelical organizations in the United States and Canada) waging a righteous 'Christian war' against homosexuality to preserve what they see as traditional values and morality."

"I am proud to be a Canadian, but was disgusted and deeply saddened to discover that Canadian right-wing extremist religious groups would stoop to such sickening levels. According to (human rights advocate Dr. Robert Carr), these people feel the Western world has fallen prey to these satanic influences (gay marriage is rightfully legal in Canada) and that they must turn their energies and their pocketbooks towards preserving the sanctity of the developing world. They are solely taking advantage of a part of our world where people are less educated to promote their own evil agenda."

"How this barbarism can exist is beyond my comprehension, but when it is encouraged in the name of Christianity it is truly repulsive. It directly flies in the face of the Christian values of love and forgiveness on which I was raised."

In the meantime, his spouse Elton John feels inspired by so many people seeking treatment for AIDS - because it proves his charity's ongoing awareness drive is working. He established the Elton John AIDS Foundation in the early 1990s to offer support to sufferers of the disease and help promote prevention of the health issue.

Recent figures show a 25 per cent drop in new infections being reported around the world, and Sir Elton is overjoyed with the compelling statistic. As guest editor of The Independent newspaper to mark World AIDS Day, he writes, "In fact, I am compelled not by despair but by hope. I'm heartened by the recent statistics from UNAIDS that tell a promising story - five million people on treatment and a 25 per cent drop in new infections across the worst-affected countries since 2001.

"I'm motivated by the progress that AIDS has quite unintentionally moved forward, rather than the destruction it has left in its wake... despite the chaos AIDS has wrought, it has also resulted in remarkable human compassion and ingenuity.

I am proud that the Elton John AIDS Foundation has contributed to this progress for nearly 20 years. Through the Foundation I have witnessed the ingenuity, the compassion, and the human love that has made a difference, not just in the fight against AIDS, but in all aspects of the complex, globalixed world in which we live."

All revenue from the newspaper's sales will go towards the singer's charity.
