London:
Rebecca Loos attempted to overshadow the glitzy galaxy
of Hollywood stars when she turned up at the movie premiere
of 'Kill Bill II'. According to Ananova, just 24 hours after
Victoria Beckham stepped out at a showbiz bash with husband
David, Rebecca hit back with her own dazzling appearance
on the red carpet. Rebecca, who claims to have had an affair
with the England captain and Real Madrid star made a surprise
appearance at the screening of the Uma Thurman starrer revenge
saga. Interestingly, Uma Thurman and Daryl Hannah were billed
as the stars of the premiere, but it was the scandal-friendly
Rebecca who stole the limelight. Rebecca posed happily for
dozens of photographers outside the Empire cinema in London's
Leicester Square. She looked glamorous in a pale turquoise
mini-dress that showed off her tanned legs and her long
brown hair was tied in a bun, adds the report. However,
Rebecca refused to speak to journalists, sweeping past them
in the company of two female friends. She was a last minute
addition to the guest list for the screening of the Quentin
Tarantino movie. Rebecca has continued to repeat her claims
that she had an affair with Beckham when she was working
as his personal assistant. The soccer superstar has continuously
dismissed her claims as ludicrous. Meanwhile, Rebecca's
publicist, Max Clifford, has revealed that she has so far
made 800,000 pounds from her sensational story.
Beck's
latest hairstyle beats his sex scandals (Go

Sydney:
David Beckham seized the front pages of all of Britain's
popular newspapers by changing his hairstyle. According
to the Herald Sun, the Real Madrid and England soccer star's
hair exerts a peculiar fascination in Britain, and each
style change is attentively covered. He had recently worn
his hair long, but other variations have included a mohawk,
spikes and cornrows. Beckham, who is beset by continuing
allegations of extra-marital flings, appeared in London
with a freshly shaven scalp, attracting maximum attention
to yet another show of marital harmony with wife Victoria.
The front pages of the Sun, the nation's biggest-selling
daily, and the Daily Star showed Beckham planting a kiss
on the forehead of his beaming wife. The Daily Mirror fronted
a picture of Victoria looking adoringly at her husband,
while the Daily Mail and the Daily Express preferred the
couple striking a fashionable pose.
The report says that the celebrity couple's appearance at
a private party at the Royal Albert Hall in London smothered
coverage of a second televised interview with Rebecca Loos,
Beckham's former personal assistant, who claims they had
a 10-day fling. Beckham has called her story ludicrous.
The Beckhams have been publicly smiling and are now partying
in London, since the story broke two weeks ago. The Daily
Mail devoted an inside page to five pictures of the couple
posing, under a sceptical headline: "So, is Posh trying
too hard?" Loos, in contrast, got a little attention for
her live interview on the Richard and Judy TV show, adds
the report. She had said in the show that she wouldn't have
had a fling with Beckham if his wife had settled with him
in Spain after he transferred to Real Madrid. "I feel that
if there hadn't been a gap in that bed, I wouldn't have
been in it," the report quoted Loos as saying.

Washington:
Rock sensation Lenny Kravitz has finally revealed details
of his torrid love affair with Australian actress Nicole
Kidman. In an interview about his forthcoming album Baptism,
the star confessed that Kidman was his muse for the song
Lady. "Unfortunately, as you probably know because the media
followed the relationship so closely, the story didn't end
as happily as it does in the song," he was quoted as saying
in Hello. "The reality wasn't quite as romantic, but this
liaison was still a first-class inspiration," he added.
The pair separated after Kravitz was spotted with another
woman. The rocker himself confesses that he is a difficult
person to be with. When asked whether he was sad that the
relationship was over, he said: "A bit, yes. It's a shame,
but you have to go on. Life doesn't stop because love has
knocked on the door and decided to leave again instead of
staying."

Glamour model Jordan was forced to pull out of a series
of photoshoots after being headbutted. And, it's certainly

as they played. According to The Sun, Harvey, who is blind
by birth,jerked his head up while lying on the floor. She
had blood pouring from the right side of her mouth. Jordan

shoot had to be cancelled as she headed to see a doctor
in a panic. Medics told her the swelling and bruising will
take several days to clear up."She went straight to the
doctor who prescribed painkillers and told her to relax
and rest.She could hardly model with massive, bruised lips,"
a friend was quoted as saying.

the elderly is common in UK: Report (Go

London:
A new report has revealed that more than 100,000 elderly
people are beaten up by their children, nurses or care home
workers in England. According to The Mirror, OAP abuse is
a secret scandal, ignored by police and social workers,
said the report by MPs, who are calling for tough action
against offenders. They said the authorities need to start
treating "elder abuse" as seriously as child abuse. The
report estimates that 500,000 over 65s in England are being
abused at any one time. Most reported cases concern neglect,
over-medication of care home patients and financial abuse.
But an estimated 20 percent is physical abuse, with the
elderly being kicked, punched and slapped. Liberal Democrat
MP Paul Burstow, who helped compile the Commons report,
said, "This must be a wake-up call to a complacent Government.
Elder abuse is still a taboo and all too often it is a case
of 'out of sight, out of mind' when it comes to the elderly."
