Katie Cassidy

New Troublemaker On Gossip Girl

You know you love me, xoxo

Blair and Serena better watch their backs; a new b***h will be in Manhattan real soon.

Katie Cassidy (the recently-cancelled Melrose Place, and the 2010 A Nightmare On Elm Street) is said to be the latest actress to join Gossip Girl. She will play a student at Columbia University and a love interest for Nate (Chace Crawford). Katie's character will no doubt bring trouble for both Blair and Selena.

Katie, who is currently shooting Monte Carlo with Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester and Cory Monteith, will appear in the first episode of Season 4.

Elin Nordegren

Wow! Tiger Woods’ Ex-Wife Gets $750 Million In Divorce Deal

According to British paper The Sun, Tiger Woods, 34, has to shell out a record US$750 million to his ex-wife Elin Nordegren! That’s the biggest payout ever seen in a celebrity divorce.

What’s more, Tiger has to keep any single women he may be dating away from the children – three-year-old daughter Sam and one-year-old son Charlie – unless he intends marrying the woman.

There’s also a gag order attached – Elin can never publicly speak out over his alleged flings. Of course this means she can’t have any book or movie deals, which tells her side of the story.

The 30-year-old Swedish model landed with more money than she originally asked for after her lawyers proved that Tiger is worth more than US$1 billion.

Elin gets sole physical custody of the children but legal custody is split between them. Oh, and only married women not romantically linked to Tiger and female staff members Elin knows are allowed to be around the children.

Mundialista: Larissa Riquelme’s World Cup Tits Outgrow Paraguay

Mundialista: Larissa Riquelme’s World Cup Tits Outgrow Paraguay The World Cup's finest tits have outgrown their home country and are set to explode on the global stage. Volump-chous Paraguayan model Larissa Riquelme—whose chest went viral after pictures of her cheering on her team in an Asuncion, Paraguay square wound up online—today announced the end of phase one of her quest for global domination. The curvaceous Latina told reporters in Paraguay that she'd "reached the ceiling" domestically, and was taking her two-woman show on the road.

In case you missed it, Riquelme’s revealing celebrations initially came off as spontaneous acts of World Cup exuberance that somehow wound up online, but were actually (gasp!) meticulously executed acts of self promotion. Even the cell phone casually tucked into her cleavage had a purpose: she’s the face of some mobile carrier in Paraguay. To think she did all this with nothing but a skimpy t-shirt, a clever prop, y un par de gomas. And with those basic elements, without even leaving the international media backwater of Paraguay, she’s become the most clicked chick in the most popular event on the planet. Without even being there in person. Surely other more established celebu-sluts like Paris, Lindsay, Cheryl Cole, etc. can learn from Riquelme’s cunning Paraguayan hustle. She didn’t even need a sex tape, just a cell phone. That lady who got canned by Citibank for being too hot should go to work for her. But I digress, let’s take have a look at her Business Plan:

Fala Chen

No undressing, kids are watching

CUT out the undressing scenes, the kids are watching.

That’s what viewers in Hong Kong are telling the Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) station which produces popular Cantonese dramas.

TVB has come under fire for showing actress Fala Chen, 27, actress undressing in its new series, The Stew of Life.

There are two scenes in the where Chen changes clothes, showing her bra.

Viewers are complaining that the scenes are inappropriate to be broadcast, especially during the family hour of between 8.30pm and 9.30pm.

They have also been complaints that the 42-year-old television station has resorted to sell sex and sleaze to increase its ratings.

Among the programmes cited for “negative influences” include Beauty’s Kitchen, The Super Trio game show and Mr Hong Kong contest.

Chen, who was Miss Chinese International 2005 runner up, is a rising star who has been given major role in popular TVB series like Heart of Greed, Moonlight Resonance and Forensic Heroes.

She told the media in an interview that the producer had said the scene was “okay” to be broadcast.

“I was wearing a sport bra. So it should be healthy, not sexy,’’ she said.

The drama’s producer Amy Wong told Hong Kong’s Ming Pao that she was surprised with the complaints.

“The public is overreacting as the scenes do not convey immoral behaviour,” she said.

Wong said in one scene the actress had to change in front of actor Timmy Hung, whom under the script, she had misunderstood to be gay, as such men usually regard their female friends as sisters.

“It is a comedy,’’ she said, adding the series would display a “PG” (Parental Guidance) rating at the start of each episode.

Christina Hendricks

Christina Hendricks: "I Felt Beautiful" Gaining "15 Pounds"

Stephen Lovekin/Getty ImagesUs Magazine

"Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks says she's always been proud of her curvier figure.

"Back when I was modeling, the first time I went to Italy I was having cappuccinos every day, and I gained 15 pounds. And I felt gorgeous!" Hendricks, 35, tells the July/August issue of Health. "I would take my clothes off in front of the mirror and be like, Oh, I look like a woman. And I felt beautiful, and I never tried to lose it, 'cause I loved it!"

In February, the actress came under fire when the New York Times posted an article that slammed the star for flaunting her assets at the Golden Globe Awards. "You don't put a big girl in a big dress," the critic wrote.

"I made the grave mistake after one awards show of reading comments online about what I wore, and I was like, 'Oh my God, people are so mean!'" Hendricks reveals. "I still remember all those negative comments, despite all the wonderful positivity. That's why we're all in therapy!"

Because of the criticism, the newlywed admits she's surprised to learn she's often cited as one of the most desirable bodies in Hollywood.

"Really? They dont say Jessica Alba? 'Cause that's what I say!" she laughs. "It's such a compliment, because of all those times I had agents who were like, "You have to lose some weight," and all of a sudden, people are celebrating it."

But the buxom redhead -- who admits she could "sit down with a bag of chips and French onion dip and go to town" -- also makes an effort to stay healthy by varying her gym routine.

"I get kind of bored on the treadmill, but I do it. And I do a little bit of weight training," she says. "I'm really into the BOSU ball. You have to balance on it, and I do weights and squats on it. I'm pretty good at it -- I feel sort of like a 'Karate Kid!'"

IT'S not a rumour.

Bruce Willis' 21-year-old daughter is "ready and waiting" for her first lesbian sex scene.

Rumer Willis says she doesn't know when it is going to happen but she's waiting to find out.

Rumer, who plays a lesbian journalist in teen drama Beverly Hills 90201, says: "I'm ready and waiting should I get the call for action!"

Maria Ozawa

From ah ah ah to ha ha ha

Maria Ozawa joined the adult video industry when she was 18

JAPANESE porn actress Maria Ozawa might soon be drawing laughter instead of ooohs and aaahs from movie patrons.

This is because the actress, also known as Miyabi, is set to star in an Indonesian comedy due for release at the end of the year.

Jakarta-based Maxima Pictures assures that the comedy, “Menculik Miyabi” (Kidnapping Miyabi), will not have scenes with the actress in her regular role.

The story is about three students who are so obsessed with Miyabi that they hatch a plan to kidnap her, the Malaysian Mirror reports.

The idea to bring Miyabi over to Indonesia and give her a role in the movie, however, has not gone down well from religious quarters.

But the government and women’s activists are open to having her over to show her acting talent provided she does not shed her clothes.

Born in Hokkaido to a Japanese mother and a French-Canadian father, Miyabi’s exotic looks set her apart from other Japanese.

Miyabi joined the adult video industry at 18 after being introduced to it by a friend who was working in the business.

Ris Low Yi Min

S'pore's tainted beauty queen

Ris made headlines in Singapore not only for her conviction but also poor diction

SHE had everything going for her. Just 19, and crowned Miss Singapore World 2009.

Then everything came crashing down for Ris Low Yi Min.

She is one of the most unloved Singapore beauty queens, now that her dirty secret is out.

Ris was sentenced in May to 24 months of supervised probation after being convicted of credit card fraud.

To make it worse, blogosphere is abuzz with calls for Ris to be stripped of her title.

Wrote one blogger: “(It’s) bad enough that she pronounces zebra prints as ‘zipbra preens’ ... now we find out she’s been charged for credit card fraud.

A bad name

“Someone disqualify her already! I don’t care if the runner-up isn’t pretty or is equally as poor at English, but at least she has a clean record.”

Another blogger added: “I can’t believe someone like her, who cannot articulate, cannot think and, worst of all, is a fraudster, can represent
Singapore (in the pageant). She is giving us a bad name.”

Sounding almost resigned, Ris said on Friday that she was waiting for the pageant organisers to inform her whether she will still be allowed to
represent Singapore in the Miss World pageant in South Africa in December.

“I’m sad and disappointed,” she told The New Paper over the phone.

“I don’t know who leaked this information about me. Now I may have to give up my dream (of participating in an international pageant).”

The Miss World website states that pageant contestants must not have been charged or convicted in any court of law in any country.

A moment of folly

Ris said she had used the credit cards fraudulently in “a moment of folly”.

She said: “When you are young and do something, you don’t really think of the consequences.

“At the time, I didn’t even think I would be joining a beauty pageant or that I would become a beauty queen.”

Ris said the pageant organisers were initially unaware of her offences.

“I told them about it only after I had won. I didn’t know it was part of the contract,” she said.

She added that the organisers were “shocked and angry” when they heard about it. The New Paper’s repeated phone calls and e-mails to the pageant organisers, ERM World Marketing Pte Ltd, went unanswered on Friday.

Ris said: “I regret what I did. I disappointed my parents, because I did it (credit card fraud) even though I wasn’t in any need of money.”

Still optimistic

But she is optimistic of putting this setback behind her.

“My friends have been very supportive through this period. I could really see their care and concern for me. My parents have also stood by me,” she said.

The first-time offender had faced five charges of misappropriation, cheating using illegally obtained credit cards and impersonating their
users’ identities. Another 60 charges were taken into consideration for sentencing.

She had obtained the credit cards while she was working at a well-known medical group here.

According to court documents, Ris spent more than S$2,400 on at least three credit cards on at least four separate occasions in April and May last year.

Among the items she bought were a S$698 Samsung handphone and two gold anklets worth S$980 in all.

She also visited Equinox, an upscale restaurant at Swissotel the Stamford, twice within the same week – spending almost S$400 on food and drinks
each time.

MELISSA Campbell

'Geek' goddess

MELISSA Campbell is a self-professed geek.

“I’m extremely clumsy and dorky! I constantly trip over myself, knock things over when I eat and I’m a huge nerd,” she says.

In person, though, the 18-year-old appears far from that. Looking cute in her black and purple jacket and skinny jeans as she posed with the Peugeot 308 VTi, the petite actress came off as cheerful and confident.

Campbell shot to fame 10 years ago by starring alongside Chow Yun-Fat and Jodie Foster in Hollywood production Anna and the King.

Fresh from shooting the second season of Ghost and hosting RTM’s The Other Side of Food, she is currently hosting Astro’s Mobile TV.

On top of that, Campbell, of Chinese and Scottish parentage, is the ambassador for Silkygirl cosmetics.

Campbell’s biggest passion is still acting.

The girl kick-started her acting career when she scored the meaty role of Princess Fa-Ying in Anna and the King.

“It changed my life. Stepping on that set at eight years old and taking in the whole magnitude of it, I knew that this is where I wanted to be. And after having had a taste of it, I know that I must get there some day.

“I’ve always wanted to be an actress since I was six years old and my dream has never faltered. It’s a challenge every time I take on a new project and it’s always a learning experience,” she adds.

Just how far will she go?

“I would shave my head if it’s required of me!” she says, adding that she would love to break the typecast of “the rich, spoilt girl”.

Felixia Yeap

Miss Malaysia pullout shocker

Naughty but nice

By WONG SAI WAN

WHAT a bombshell! Yeap, that’s Felixia, a former kindergarten teacher who is not afraid to speak her mind or to stand up for her rights.

But the bigger bombshell now is the one she has dropped - she has quit the Miss World/Malaysia contest even though she won the audition to be among the 20 finalists. The reason? She did not agree to the terms and conditions.

In a late night message on Facebook (FB). the popular model told this writer that she had quit the contest because the contract was too lopsided.

On her FB status, she wrote:
“Felixia Yeap has officially withdrawn herself from the Miss World Malaysia 09 due to some of its Terms And Conditions which cannot be amended and thus, unacceptable for her and her current career. Thank you all for your support, faith and for believing in her. Sorry for letting you all down...”

Felixia said the contract would affect her earnings.

The pageant organiser reacted very quickly and removed Felixia’s name and pictures from its website and there was no announcement about her withdrawal.

For those who know Felixia, her latest move does not come as a surprise because this 23-year-old Ipoh lass is opinionated, well read and not afraid to speak her mind.

An example is during a casual conversation before this photo shoot , Felixia went for the jugular.

“How can the Indonesian maids demand a minimum salary of RM800 per month? My salary was not even that when I was teaching at a international kindergarten in Bangsar!”

Anyway, what did she teach?

“I taught our national language and hip-hop dance to expatriates’ kids for almost two years,” she said. Looking at her slender and lithe body, anyone would be willing to learn from her, what more kids.

Unlike most models who love to party and smoke (I have been assured that most do), Felixia believes in clean living as she neither smokes nor goes clubbing unless its part of the modelling job requirement.

Vices? “I don’t smoke and I don’t do drugs. I also don’t like to go clubbing because it’s not the place to go dancing.

"If I want to dance, I would rather go to a gym and have a proper workout.”

Asked if she is not afraid that she would be left out of the happening crowd, Felixia shrugs her shoulders and says she is prepared to be disappointed but will not compromise on her principles.

Felixia who went to Sek Men Tarcisian Convent says she was a nerdy prefect with "quite good" academic scores.

She describes herself as “a passionate model who aims to craft her name in the industry, who also loves soothing jazz, sinful food, dangerously fast rides, evenings at the beach, and dirty dancing. I am also an aspiring vocalist and writer.”

Her hobbies are collecting lingerie and super-high stilettos; something which she happily parades around in but only in the comfort of her apartment in Kuala Lumpur.

However, Felixia quickly adds: “One of the biggest reasons I love beaches is because I get to wear really tiny bikinis and run around in public - provided I don’t get in trouble with the law.”

That’s Felixia - naughty but nice.

Felixia is also a prolific Facebook-er and has 4.493 friends on FB and almost 7,000 fans on her model site.

“I can do without most things but not my Facebook,” she says.

Asked what she looks for in a guy, she says:

“He must be mature and accept me as I am. He must adore and treasure me like a precious gem.

“He must be deep and wise but with a good dose of humour. He must also be stable financially and career-wise. Most importantly, he must be older than me.”

What about looks?

“I'm Not too bothered about looks. As as long as his face doesn’t make babies cry and dogs bark.”

Julie Woon

Model with new role

WITH a portfolio filled with countless photo shoots, fashion shows and products launches, Julie Woon has easily seen the ins and outs of the industry.

A model since she was 18, Julie knows the circuit well and her list of assignments included HSBC, Sony, Skol, Total Image, Maxis, 1Utama and also a lingerie catalogue.

With a charming persona and the gift of the gab, moving into the entertainment scene seemed the next logical step.

The 25-year-old is now one of the lead characters of 8TV’s newest series – Blogger Boy – that airs every Thursday at 9.30pm.

Julie plays a character called Nina, a free-spirited and spunky individual, whose good friend Budi (played by co-star Qushairi Razali) secretly pines for her.

“While modelling has been good, I need something new and different to grow into,” says the 165cm tall Petaling Jaya girl.

“In acting, I am looking for different types of characters to play,” adding that she is now trying her hand at script writing in various genres such as dramas and comedies.

“The story is based on the life of a rock star I know but some portions have been dramatised. It is still in the rewrite stage,” says Julie who is a commerce graduate from the Curtin University of Technology.

Much earlier in 2006, Julie was already a television host for Astro’s SuperSport programme, Absolute Football.

The following year, she hosted Astro’s Star World’s Championship Gaming Series.

Currently, Julie is also one of the hosts for ntv7’s Motorsports@Petronas, a motorsports TV programme that covers all types of motorsports that the national oil company is involved in, among them Formula 1, A1GP, MotoGP, Formula Nippon and Merdeka Millennium Endurance Race.

This is her second year co-hosting Motorsports@Petronas – aired every Friday at midnight.

“I loved hosting this programme as it has enabled me to cover assignments in Japan, Russia and Switzerland.

“Usually girls and cars go hand in hand from the modelling perspective but hosting this programme is very different. It has actually forced me to learn about the cars and motorsports."

Luckily for her, the shooting schedules for Blogger Boy and Motorsports@Petronas did not clash.

Julie’s first car was a seventh-generation Honda Accord 2.0, which she bought in 2003 with the help of her parents. Now, she goes around in the latest eighth-generation Honda Accord 2.4 VTi-L which she got last year.

She says it was her parents who influenced her choice as the Accord has good resale value, affordable maintenance, good fuel economy and spacious interior.

“Some people said the (new) Accord is too big for me but I beg to differ. I actually feel much safer in a big car.

“It’s also very executive-looking, which I like a lot,” she says. Her dream car is the Bentley Continental GT, a car that she says is elegantly sexy and in a class of its own.

By the way, Julie’s real surname is Hoi.

“Julie Woon is more of a stage name. I have even thought of using the pronunciation of Hoi in a different Chinese dialect but finally decided on using Woon, my mother’s maiden name,” she explains.

Jessie Lunderby

Sexy jailer suspended for Playboy shoot

Jessie Lunderby - the gorgeous blonde 21-year-old Arkansas jailer who has been suspended for posing in a racy shoot for Playboy - has exclusively told RadarOnline.com, "I do not know what all the fuss is about!"

Lunderby - who had been working at an Arkansas detention center housing murder suspects and violent offenders - swapped her stuffy jailer’s outfit for skimpy lingerie to earn some extra cash.

But Arkansas' Washington County’s Sheriff Department took issue with the sexy images when they appeared on Playboy.com, and decided to place her on paid administrative leave.

Lunderby told RadarOnline.com: “I was placed on leave on Sunday after the story broke last week, but I do not know what all the fuss is about.

“I enjoyed my job and had worked there for two years, but I don’t like the way my bosses have treated me over this.

“My friends and family totally supported my decision to do the shoot as I have always been interested in photography.

“The Sheriff’s Department told me I had to fill out a form if I was doing another job, but this was a modeling assignment, so, I don’t know why they are throwing a fit.

“I actually did the photographs several months ago, and it was me who told them about it, and they did not have any immediate reaction at first.

“The inmates where I work do not have access to computers, so, it was not as if they were looking at them or anything.

“When I was told I was being put on paid leave it was pretty stressful, and I don’t know if I will be able to go back to my job, but I don’t regret getting the photographs done because I think I look great.

“And my friends and family think I look awesome too.”

The sexy jailer would not reveal how much she got paid by Playboy for her racy shoot, although her day job paid her between $12 and $15 an hour.

She also wouldn't reveal if she is married or if she currently has a boyfriend, and was coy when asked if she would do anymore modeling.

Washington County’s Sheriff’s Department is still probing the incident before deciding if they will fire their sexy jailer.

Chief Deputy J.J. Cantrell exclusively told RadarOnline.com, “We are still determining what to do but I can confirm that she is on paid administrative leave.

“At present we believe that she was guilty of two policy violations within our department.

“Firstly, she did not sign a pre-approval form for a second job which she should have done.

“Secondly, we believe she may be guilty of conduct unbecoming of an officer which dis-credits the agency.

“It will take another week before we decide what action will be taken against her while all the evidence is gathered.

“At present it is to early to speculate what that will be – she had been in her position for the last couple of years and had done a decent job.

“I’m not aware if any of the inmates under her control have seen the Playboy images – the detention center that she worked at has a capacity of 710.

“There are all kinds of inmates housed there from suspected murderers to other violent offenders awaiting trial.”
