Man charged with stalking Paris Hilton

Posted on by


A man arrested outside Paris Hilton’s Malibu home has been charged with felony stalking.

James Rainford – who already had a restraining order, in which he had to stay at least 200 yards away from the hotel heiress and her properties – appeared in a Californian court today (15.07.11) after he was found by police standing on the beach looking into Paris’ home on July 4.

Prosecutor Wendy Segall said Rainford, 36, is facing two felony stalking counts and three misdemeanour counts of disobeying a court order.

Rainford is currently in jail with bail set at $150,000.

In April, Rainford attacked Paris’ then-boyfriend Cy Waits outside a Los Angeles courthouse and was arrested last April after sneaking into her Hollywood property, but pleaded no contest to both charges.

The news of Rainford’s arrest came days after an intruder who tried to break into Paris’ home was sentenced to two years in prison.

Nathan Lee Parada – who was wielding a knife when he attempted to get into her Los Angeles house – was found guilty of first degree residential burglary in April, and at the hearing Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Kellogg also recommended he undergo mental health counselling.

Joss Stone speaks about kidnappers

Joss Stone says the two men who allegedly tried to kidnap her were “completely off their Charlie”.

Junior Bradshaw, 30, and Kevin Liverpool, 33, were arrested near the British singer’s home in Devon, Southern England, in June and charged with planning to commit robbery and conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm but Joss refuses to let it affect her life in a negative way.

She told ‘E! News’: “It’s a lot of crazies in the world. Isn’t it weird? I mean, what an awful thing to do. But, no, it’s fine, they’re just completely off their Charlie.”

Despite the terrifying plans, Joss says she still feels safe in her home.

She added: “It’s weird because I live in the middle of nowhere, well that’s why they got lost, which is good.

“I do feel very safe where I live. I live in the house that I grew up in and I don’t ever plan on moving. I love my home because there’s an extended family. I have four neighbours, one’s a neighbour with a shotgun and I’ve got a great Rottweiler. It’s silly to worry about things that didn’t happen. Just gives me more lyrics, more stories to tell.”

At the time of the arrests, the ‘Fell in Love With a Boy’ hitmaker said: “I’d like to thank everyone for their concern but I’m absolutely fine and getting on with life as normal while the police continue with their inquiries.”

Nick Lachey has married Vanessa Minnillo.

The couple – who have been dating since 2006 – tied the knot in front of just 35 friends and family in a romantic tropical island ceremony today.

TV host Vanessa – who wore a two-piece Monique Lhuillier ensemble – told People magazine: “For us, this is just a stepping stone to do what we ultimately want and that’s to start a family together.”

Speaking about the nuptials, singer Nick added: “Our wedding invitations were in the form of a plane ticket. We told them they were going away and the attire was ‘island chic.’ It was all very vague.”

Following the announcement of their engagement last year, Nick – who was formerly married to Jessica Simpson – said they were taking their time at planning the wedding.

He said: “We’re still basking in the glow of our very recent engagement and enjoying that. I’m sure we’ll get on with the planning and what-not shortly, but we’re just enjoying this experience.

“We’re very excited. We’re obviously extremely happy and looking forward to everything that the future brings for us, so we are very excited and just enjoying the moment.”

Beyonce Knowles “can’t wait” to start a family.

The 29-year-old singer – who has previously hinted she would like to have children with husband Jay-Z in the near future – will be a “natural” mother, according to her sister Solange, who has six-year-old son Daniel.

Solange said: “She will be a great mother, a natural. She will love to start a family. I can’t wait, they will be beautiful.”

However, while waiting to become a mother of her own, 25-year-old Solange admits Beyonce has a great time as an auntie to her child.

She added to the Daily Mirror: “Beyonce adores my little boy. She takes him everywhere. We were in Europe a couple of months ago and he loved being with his auntie.”

Meanwhile the ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ hitmaker – who is currently in the UK on a promotional tour of her new album ‘4’ – is said to have become obsessed with British TV shows, in particular the BBC London-based soap ‘EastEnders’.

A source said: “Beyonce finds the accents on ‘EastEnders’ really funny. She spends half the time mimicking what they’re saying in her fake British accent.”

 

 

 

Jennifer Aniston developed an attitude with age

Posted on by


Jennifer Aniston has developed a “f**k it attitude”.

The 42-year-old star – who is currently dating ‘Your Highness’ actor Justin Theroux – admits she has become more comfortable with herself as she has grown older because she was a lot more “controlled” when she was younger.

She said: “Getting older, you get more comfortable in your body and in your skin and who you are and you have more of a f**k it attidue.

“You’re so careful and controlled in your 20s and you’re just more aware of your every move. Now, I think there’s more freedom and comfort and none of it really matters, as long as you are enjoying yourself and having a really good time. Not hurting other people – of course, that goes without saying.”

The former ‘Friends’ actress – who was formerly married to Brad Pitt – is now starring in comedy movie ‘Horrible Bosses’ as nymphomaniac blackmailer Dr. Julia Harris, and she admits she loved getting to explore her “kinkiest” side on the film.

She told The Sun newspaper: “It was great fun and very liberating to throw myself into this character. You feel totally uninhibited and get to explore your weirdest and kinkiest psychological quirks and just exaggerate all the kinds of flirtatious ideas and fantasies you’ve ever had.

“You get to enjoy being fearless when you play a character that is so brazen and domineering.”

Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton are reportedly engaged.

The ‘X Factor’ judge and the Formula One driver – who have been dating on and off for the past four years – are set to marry after Lewis popped the question, according to Nicole’s father.

Alfonso Valiente – who split from Nicole’s mother Rosemary when she was six but remains close to his daughter – told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: “You know about the proposal? Yes they are engaged.

“My future son-in-law is a really nice guy, really down-to-earth.

My family all like him. The good spirit is there.”

Alfonso, 52, says he first met Lewis last year after the couple spent a week with him and his family on the Hawaiian island of Oahu and the sportsman left a good impression.

He said: “When he walked into the house for the first time he picked up one of the babies. That went down very well.

“He is sincere and he and my daughter seem genuinely happy together. Lewis is a really good guy. When they came to visit, we hired them a Jeep because he had never driven one before.”

While a spokesman for 25-year-old Lewis refused to confirm their engagement, Nicole recently revealed how she wants to settle down and have children.

The 32-year-old singer said: “Do I see us getting married and having children? My head says yeah, but I’m really focused on my music now and I think that will come in time.

“I think I’ll be really strict like my momma, maybe even worse. I won’t let my children out of the house! I’ll make them listen to classical music.”

Jennifer – who has been married twice before – recently spoke of her contentment in her personal life now she was a wife and mother.

The 41-year-old beauty said: “I’m in a really happy, good place now, and when you have babies, you feel a different kind of love to anything you’ve experienced – deeper, more profound.

“No matter how much experience you have in love, you’re always learning new things about it; you’re always going to have questions you can never fully answer. I’m probably the happiest I’ve ever been in my life and my husband and my babies have everything to do with that.”

It will interesting to see what happens next. It is ironic to see the hounder hounded, a lot of the photographers taking pictures of Murdoch, actually work for him. Tom Mockridge has been appointed to run News International. Will Chase Carey be heading up global corporation soon.
