Former Playmate Izabella St. James Tells All About Sex With 'Dead Fish' Hugh Hefner
Charlie Sheen, Leonardo DiCaprio and Colin Farrell are among the stars who have enjoyed romps at the Mansion, according to a kiss-and-tell memoir by Izabella St James, a former member of the ever-changing bevy of pneumatic blondes with whom Hefner shares his home.
The portrait of Hefner painted by Izabella St James is deeply unappealing. A pretty blonde law graduate, she was 26 when she met him in a Hollywood nightclub in 2002. Soon, he invited her to move in with him and seven other official ‘girlfriends’.
For Izabella, the Playboy Mansion was far from the glamorous pleasure palace she had imagined. ‘Each bedroom had mismatched, random pieces of furniture,’ she recalls in her autobiography Bunny Tales. ‘It was as if someone had gone to a charity shop and bought the basics for each room.
‘Although we all did our best to decorate our rooms and make them homely, the mattresses on our beds were disgusting — old, worn and stained. The sheets were past their best, too.

French Model Who Suffered from Anorexia Dies At 28
French model and actress Isabelle Caro, whose anorexia-ravaged body was featured in a shocking 2007 advertising campaign, has died.
The young woman's
acting coach, Daniele Dubreuil-Prevot, revealed Caro died on Nov. 17, at the age of 28, according to reports. She had just returned to France after doing a job in Tokyo.
While Dubreuil-Prevot, Caro's longtime teacher, said she didn't know the cause of death, she spoke of Caro's battle with anorexia, adding that her student – who said she suffered from the illness since she was 13 – "had been sick for a long time."
The model is known for her appearance in a fashion ad campaign by Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani in 2007. Caro's naked body was shown with her skeletal frame and facial bones protruding. The images were splashed in newspapers and on billboards with the headline "No Anorexia."
Earlier this year, she made an appearance on Jessica Simpson's show The Price of Beauty to discuss body image issues.

Chuck Liddell retires
LAS VEGAS – Chuck Liddell has embodied everything that is great about mixed martial arts.
He’s intelligent, soft-spoken and as humble as they come. But when the bell rang to signal the start of a fight, nobody fought harder or created more havoc than the guy who came to be known as “The Iceman” because of the concussive power of his fists.
Liddell announced his retirement Wednesday during a news conference at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas that was packed with fans and media, ending an era in which he literally helped put the sport on the map.

Jenn Sterger's attorney slams NFL commissioner Roger Goodell
"My client and I are extremely disappointed, but not surprised, at today's NFL announcement that Brett Favre did not violate the NFL 'workplace conduct' policy," said Sterger's attorney Joseph Conway in a statement. "While I am not privy to how Mr. Goodell reached such a finding, we strongly disagree with his conclusion that there was insufficient evidence to support a violation of the policy.
"To the contrary, our evidence and the personal testimony of Ms. Sterger clearly showed a pattern of lewd and offensive behavior by Mr. Favre that lasted all of the 2008 season. As noted in the NFL's release, 'there was no evidence to suggest that Sterger engaged in any inappropriate conduct.' In addition to the offensive messages, there was ample evidence to show that the sexually explicit photographs were part of Favre's inappropriate behavior. Our evidence clearly showed that the photos were sent by Favre."
"It clearly shows that an NFL star player was given preferential treatment and tells all other players that failure to cooperate may cost you some money but will not result in other punishment," said Conway. "Today's decision is an affront to all females and shows once again that, despite tough talk, the NFL remains the good old boys' league
Brock Lesnar wants out of UFC?
Yahoo! Sports and Wrestling Observer contributor Dave Meltzer recently reported during his radio show that former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar may not be long for the sport of MMA.
According to Meltzer, Lesnar has not returned to the gym since the loss and is actively looking to compete at the next "WrestleMania" for an easy multi-million dollar payday.
Whether or not any of this is true remains unknown, but the notoriously reclusive Lesnar has not issued any statements to the contrary--not that he would if Meltzer's statements were incorrect--and the rumors concerning his desire to return to professional wrestling have persisted since his loss to Velasquez.
Full Story Here
This has been said to be false according to cagewriter on yahoo. They claim Lesnar wants the best of both worlds, with a huge WWE payday and MMA salary.

Oh no He didn't: Rupert Everett Calls Hollywood Conservative And Homophobic, Calls Out Jennifer Aniston
Maybe he's just not as good as he thinks he is. Possibility? Oh yeah I think so.
Despite the stereotype, Hollywood is not at all liberal, says British actor Rupert Everett. In fact, for gay actors like himself, it's quite conservative.
"I never got a job there, and I never got a job here, after [coming out]," he said. "I did a couple of films, I was very lucky at the beginning of my career... and then, I never had another job here for ten years...
"I think show business is ideally suited for heterosexuals, it's a very heterosexual business...
Still, Hollywood decides on its own who to support, even if its undeserved, Everett says. And to prove his point, he criticized the career of Jennifer Aniston:

The Story of LOST From a Guy Who Has Seen One Episode of LOST
Thanks to BookhouseBoy for the following.
I got an idea recently to ask a friend of mine who has only ever seen one complete episode of LOST to see if he could summarize what happened over the course of the six seasons of the show, either through what he did see over the years, or what he got through "pop culture osmosis." This is the result, which I thought you might want to share with the LOST fans who still come to DarkUFO as a funny little Christmas present.

THE STORY OF LOST FROM A GUY WHO HAS SEEN ONE EPISODE OF LOST
by Andy Hunsaker
So, there's a plane on its way to Hawaii or some such that goes down, and Dr. Matthew "Party of Five" Fox, Michelle Rodriguez, John Locke, a fat guy named Hurley, Evangeline Lilly and hordes of other people all wind up on Lost Island, but you only meet a few of them, probably the people in first class, at first. Turns out the ass-end of the plane crashed somewhere else and all the coach people were on the coach section of Lost Island until maybe Season 2. Tom Hanks with a giant beard makes a point of not showing up, but there could very well have been a volleyball floating around with a face drawn on it.
They pretty much play "Survivor" for a few episodes and try to make fires and forage for food and probably have immunity challenges until someone finds A Hatch that is not named Richard, nor is it naked. It's locked down tight and they have a Lost Island Student Council meeting to figure out how to open it. But then some weird stuff starts happening in the woods, like a funky smoke monster showing up and leaving polar bears in the tropics. That's not nice at all. There also may or may not be angry natives and someone may or may not get caught in one of those stealth rope traps that dangle them by their leg for said angry natives to spear and skin alive... unless I'm thinking of Predator.
Anyway, stuff topside starts to go crazy go nuts, so down the hatch! Turns out there's a secret abandoned army base down there full of guns and food and secret things and A Mysterious Countdown. What happens when the countdown reaches zero? Most people think Giant Nuclear Bomb, but other people think something else - like maybe a signal to the army to come back so they can be rescued. The one episode I saw revolved around John Locke arguing in favor of bomb, I think, while some other guy tried to convince him not to fiddle with anything in case they ruin their chance to be saved. I think John Locke won the argument and stopped the bomb, but there was a cool black guy I kinda liked in that episode, but then he died at the end of it so I didn't watch anymore.
Eventually, Michelle Rodriguez and the Coach Class Lost Island Stunt Casting Brigade show up and start throwing punches, stretching resources even thinner because there are pointedly no FedEx packages with angelic symbols washing up on shore, nor is Helen Hunt anywhere waiting for any of them - she has married Chris Noth and you just have to accept that, Chuck! She has kids, for christ's sake! Four years is a long time, and Lost lasted for, like, six or eight!
So it turns out that the whole island is one vast government experiment, either testing social skills, group dynamics or experimental hallucinogenics, hence the polar bear. The army probably shows up eventually and throws their weight around, and eventually everybody gets rescued, since they all time jump into the future and Dr. Of Five is back home in San Angeles delivering babies or performing surgery on children. But he and Evangeline Lilly and maybe his brother realize that They Have To go Back To The Island. Because There Are Things Left Unsettled. Or maybe they left somebody behind, or no one wanted John Locke to have sole possession of a giant nuclear bomb, because he was a hardass and he'd wipe something off the map with it. He had a scar on his face, so he must have been secretly evil. Or not-so-secretly evil. Everybody hated him, at least, and fans probably loved to hate him.
When they go back to the island, they realize they all died in the plane crash, the smoke monster is actually the mystical mist of surreality/the will of God and Lost Island is the test they have to pass to get into heaven, and John Locke goes to hell, but Dr. Of Five wins, viewers moan as the conclusion could never be as good as the hype, and Season 1 of Lost on DVD becomes a metaphor for Christmas, symbolizing lack of payoff, in the "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" episode of "Community."
Or, as David Letterman's more succinct description of Lost goes: "There's a hole with a thing on it and a fat guy and look out!"

Jailed Rapper DMX Transferred To Mental Health Ward
Rapper DMX is apparently not faring too well in prison and has been transferred to a mental health unit.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was transferred to a
mental health unit in prison, where he is serving a 12-month sentence for probation violation.
The rapper was arrested by police at an Arizona club in November when he was using cocaine and drinking alcohol during a show. He also was driving on a suspended license and failed to check in with his probation officer.
DMX entered a guilty plea to a charge of felony probation violation and was sentenced to a year in jail.
At the rapper’s sentencing, judge Christine Mulleneaux worried he may be suffering from an undiagnosed mental condition and DMX was recently admitted to the Flamenco Mental Health Unit inside the Alahambra Prison complex.
Eddie Murphy's Ex Squanders Divorce Money
What’s more, the IRS has slapped her with five tax liens totally $846,630, and she has put her opulent mansion up for sale. When Nicole
divorced Eddie in 2006 after 13 years of marriage, she chose to take a one-time payout from the comedian of $15 million, instead of monthly alimony. But in a shockingly short span of time, she’s managed to lose all of it.
“Nicole made some bad investments with the fortune she got from Eddie, and now she is in serious financial straits,” said a friend of the 42-year-old stunner. Court records show that the IRS slapped Nicole with two liens for back taxes in November totaling $214,688.
That huge bill was on top of outstanding judgments against her for nearly $600,000 by a legal firm and another $60,000 demand for payment by a landscaping company. She also owes $5 million on her Los Angeles-area home.
“Nicole is overwhelmed by the mountain of debt she has piled up,” added the source. Nicole, who has five children with Eddie, invested in an Internet jewelry business, but the venture quickly failed and Nicole lost most of her money.”

Rihanna And Matt Kemp Split
Rihanna and baseball ace Matt Kemp have reportedly ended their relationship, just weeks after Matt’s odd behavior with an unidentified female outside a Los Angeles nightclub prompted allegations that the Dodgers outfielder, 26, was a cheat.
While a source close to Rihanna, 22, tells Us that it was Matt who
called for the pre-holiday split, Star Magazine claims Rihanna's ongoing infatuation with her former flame, rapper Drake — who she dumped after a brief courtship in March 2009, was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Star says: “For the past month, Rihanna has been spending more and more time with Drake and has been slowly falling for him. They had a brief relationship right after her breakup with Chris Brown, but she was too traumatized by the whole situation to take him seriously.”
Despite collaborating with Rihanna on the smash single “What’s My Name?” this year, in June, Drake looked back on his romance with the Barbadian crooner bitterly, telling The New York Times: ”I was a pawn…You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like, ‘Wow, this feels terrible.’”
I know i said it on this blog when i posted the video for what's my name that i noticed some kind of chemistry between Drake and Rihanna in the video. Well i am not exactly surprised.
