In The News: Paris Hilton, Usher, Zsa Zsa Gabor, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Megan Fox
Police found a suspected cannabis joint in Paris Hilton’s car shortly after her arrest
The socialite – who was arrested for cocaine possession after being pulled over by cops in Las Vegas with her boyfriend Cy Waits – reportedly had a hand-rolled cigarette in the vehicle, which was discovered by officers shortly after they stopped the couple.
An arrest report filed for Cy said: “Vehicle inventor turned up a ‘roach’, white piece of rolled paper w/green leafy sub inside. It was wet and unable to be tested.”
Cannabis-laced cigarettes – commonly know as joints – are often rolled in this fashion, and police also noted a strong smell of marijuana coming from the car.
The officer wrote in his report: “I could smell marijuana coming out of the vehicle, pulled up to the passenger side and driver stated he just got done smoking.”
Meanwhile, Paris – who was stopped outside the lavish Wynn Hotel – has been banned from ever visiting both of the hotel resorts on the Las Vegas Strip.
Cy has also been sacked from his job as top managing partner of the Tryst Nightclub, and XS The Nightclub at Encore at Wynn Las Vegas.
A spokesperson confirmed: “Cy Waits has been separated from the company and is free to pursue other interests. Wynn has no further comment on this matter.”
Paris has been charged with cocaine possession and could face up to four years in prison after 0.8 grams of the illegal drug was found in her handbag when they were stopped and searched.
She is due in court on October 27. Paris has denied she has done anything wrong, tweeting: “These rumours going around are so ridiculous, untrue and cruel. I’m not going to even pay attention to them, because I know the truth.”
Meanwhile, her ex-boyfriend Doug Reinhardt admits he was shocked when he learnt about Paris’ arrest.
He said: “It’s very surprising. Let justice prevail how it’s going to prevail. I wish her nothing but the best and I hope everything works out for her.”
Usher’s children wear him out.
The ‘OMG’ hitmaker admits his sons Usher V, two and 20-month-old Naviyd Ely – his kids with ex-wife Tameka Foster – can be mischievous but he loves watching their naughty antics.
He said: “They play really well with each other. They have their differences, but they’re definitely brothers. They’re fun to watch together and both have a ton of energy. They can wear me out sometimes, without a doubt. Usher V is always in everything. He’s the one who leads his brother astray – he’s the instigator. He’ll be like, ‘Hey, let’s swing from the table,’ and his brother will follow him. He’s the one who’s responsible when they get into trouble.”
The 31-year-old singer is delighted there is no sibling rivalry between the boys, with his youngest son “worshipping” his brother.
Talking about Usher V, he told People magazine: “He’ll read books to Naviyd. Well, he can’t read, but he’s memorised the books and will recite them. Naviyd worships the ground Usher walks on.
“If Usher gets something to eat, Naviyd wants the same thing. If Usher wants to watch something on TV, so does Naviyd.”
Usher – real full name Usher Raymond IV – also claims having children has made him become a “real man”.
He said: “It really hits me that I’m responsible for raising them and showing them what a real man it. I don’t know if I always do it right, but I’m trying.”
Zsa Zsa Gabor was released from hospital yesterday
The ailing 93-year-old Hollywood legend was taken to the UCLA medical centre in California on Tuesday (31.08.10) after an emergency services call from her husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt but doctors have decided to let her go home as her condition wasn’t life-threatening.
Prince – who found his spouse “unresponsive” – says she is currently resting at their Beverly Hills home. Zsa Zsa has suffered ill health all year and spent most of August – including her ninth wedding anniversary – in hospital after undergoing hip replacement surgery.
The veteran actress suffered further complications after the operation including a blood clot, for which she had to have more surgery, and at one point her condition worsened to the point where she was read the last rites by a priest.
However, the Hungarian-born actress left hospital the very next day on her own insistence, with her husband saying she wanted to live out her final days at home.
Her spokesperson said at the time: “Her health has been up and down ever since her hip replacement. She wanted to spend her final days at home. It is a very difficult time for her family.”
The couple were also dealt another blow after Prince briefly became bed-ridden after blacking out and collapsing at their Beverly Hills.
Zsa Zsa’s career spans five decades and includes cinema classics ‘A Touch Of Evil’ and ‘For The First Time’.
She has also famously been married nine times, and has one daughter, Francesca Hilton, by her second husband, hotel magnate Conrad Hilton.
George Clooney claims Italy changed his life.
The ‘Burn After Reading’ actor – who has been dating Italian television presenter Elisabetta Canalis for more than a year – admits he feels much less stressed since buying a villa in the European town of Laglio as he can escape the pressures of Hollywood.
He said: “What changed my life in a very pleasant and unexpected way was buying the villa in Laglio. That was a pure investment decision – I thought I would maybe spend a few weeks vacationing there. But then I realised how beautiful life was in Italy and how it really helped calm me and not feel so pressured. I could also work productively and bring my friends over to keep me company.”
The 49-year-old hunk – who has had a series of short term relationships since his divorce from actress Talia Balsam in 1993 – also admitted he has previously put his career before his personal life but is happy to have now changed his priorities.
He added in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I was working so hard on my film projects that for a time I basically didn’t even think very much about how my personal life was evolving. I didn’t care in the sense that I didn’t have a family or children to look after and I wasn’t involved in any long-term relationships. Now, I still feel I haven’t done my best work although I’ve at least put myself in a position where I can keep doing what I love and enjoy the process. I even have a bit of a personal life these days. I don’t want to make anyone sick but things are going pretty well for me.”
Brad Pitt and Megan Fox have topped a list of stars people would allow their partners to sleep with.
The Hollywood stars were voted into the top spot after UK couples were asked which celebrities their partners would let them sleep with without classing it as cheating, known as a ‘list’.
Joining Brad on the ‘allowed’ list for women were ‘Alice in Wonderland’ actor Johnny Depp, ‘300’ star Gerard Butler, soccer ace David Beckham and ‘Twilight Saga’ hunk Robert Pattinson.
Male respondents opted for Brad’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston and his current partner Angelina Jolie, who were named second and fifth respectively, with Beyonce Knowles and Jessica Alba taking third and fourth place respectively.
Mark Pearson, Managing Director of Groupola.com, which conducted the survey of 1,198 couples, said: “I think that having a ‘list’ in a relationship is fine, as long as they are taken in jest and feelings aren’t hurt.
“Although, I do wonder if any of the respondents would ever actually follow through with their ‘list’. I can’t help but think that even if people were confronted with the situation whilst in a serious relationship, they would probably shy away from it!”
