But Victoria is more distant." "Victoria can't stop doing

from her husband David Beckham in April on her 30th birthday.
Victoria returned the gesture earlier this month, buying
him a 500,000 pounds diamond eternity ring for his birthday.

away too soon," said a source. Sean has been playing for

way would they do it without Beyonce's parents around. They

I have no reason to believe that is true."
Naomi
Campbell sounds death knell for free press (Go

London:
Supermodel Naomi Campbell has raised a debate on the
freedom of the press after winning a long running privacy
battle against the British paper Daily Mirror. The 33-year
old diva won the landmark case after three judges at the
House of Lords ruled in her favour. She had alleged that
the photos of her leaving a Narcotics Anonymous meeting,
which had been published by Daily Mirror were an invasion
of privacy. According to the Sun, the paper had claimed
that the photos were in public interest as it proved that
the supermodel is a liar. She had earlier said that she
had never taken drugs. The ruling said that newspapers could
report the wrong doings of celebrities, but not reveal the
full details or print pictures to back up the story. This
ruling has raised questions about the freedom of the press
all over Europe and has invited comments from various journalists.
"This
is a very good day for lying, drug-abusing prima donnas
who want to have their cake with the media and the right
to then shamelessly guzzle it with their Cristal champagne,"
said Piers Morgan, the enraged editor of Daily Mirror. Radio
DJ, TV star and Sun film critic Johnny Vaughan said a free
press was at the heart of a true democracy. "If you trade
off your image and use the press for influence, you cannot
suddenly stop when the script doesn't go your way. It is
the right of the press to expose hypocrisy in any field
of public life, be that politics, showbiz or judges." Sun
columnist and TV star Lorraine Kelly said: "Celebrities
can't have it both ways. If you are in the public eye and
court the media to make money or enhance your career, you
have to accept the downsides too. You can't suddenly say,
'No, I don't want to be in the papers'." "It has been a
huge strain. Now I can get on with my life. What's important
for me is that people in recovery should be free to receive
treatment without fear of intrusion," said Naomi who has
admitted that she is a recovering cocaine addict. The three-year
long case was heard by nine judges, out of whom, four backed
Naomi.

Ultimate
orgasm with G-Shot (Go

London:
An injection that gives women the ultimate orgasm has
been developed by a plastic surgeon. According to the Sun,
the quick jab swells a woman's most sensitive area and turns
it into a double G-spot. Los Angeles gynaecologist and cosmetic
surgeon Dr David Matlock charges 1,000 pounds for the love-life
booster called the G-Shot. His five-minute operation involves
an injection of collagen that is normally used as wrinkle
filler. G-Shot causes the G-spot to swell and become more
sensitive. The jab lasts for about four months after which
it can be repeated. Now Matlock is keen to introduce G-Shot
into the United Kingdom. "Women have never experienced climaxes
like it. They say they can't keep the smile off their face.
Some women have even claimed it's a little too much, saying
they've had an orgasm at the gym and while going over bumps
in the road in their car," the report quoted a pleased Matlock
as saying. "I've had grateful partners ring to say they
don't have to work half as hard to please their woman in
bed now. Women say it envelops the whole body and lasts
longer," added Matlock. However, British experts have branded
the operation risky. Gynaecologist Professor Stuart Stanton,
who has a private clinic in central London, said, "I would
be very wary of this." John Studd, consultant gynaecologist
at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital said, "This technique
is totally illogical. You can't see the G-spot, even if
it exists. It is just an extension of the fibres of the
clitoris." "Real sex with a real woman takes real time.
We need romance, attention and foreplay," said sex expert
Kate Taylor and author of the 'Good Orgasm Guide'.
