Clooney denies 'suicide thoughts'
 Clooney:
"I certainly did not talk about wanting to kill myself..."
Actor George Clooney has denied reports that he
contemplated committing suicide after he was injured on
a film set.
Reports that he considered self-harm
after being hurt filming Syriana were taken "out of
context", Clooney said in a statement to the BBC News
website. "I certainly did not talk about wanting to kill
myself," he said. The reports had quoted him as saying
he felt so low after he injured his spine and head that
he thought he would "have to" take his own life...Read

THE STARS, THE GOSSIPS AND THE NEWS
Madonna is launching her
new album exactly the day we open the show, November 15th!!!
 The
forthcoming Madonna album has come under rabbinical criticism, according to the
Israeli daily Maariv, The Associated Press reported. The album, "Confessions on
a Dance Floor," to be released on Nov. 15, includes "Isaac," a track about
Yitzhak Luria, a 16th-century Jewish mystic and kabbalah scholar. Rabbi Rafael
Cohen, who heads a seminary named for Luria, said: "Jewish law forbids using the
name of the holy rabbi for profit. Her act is simply unacceptable, and I can
only sympathize for her because of the punishment that she is going to receive
from the heavens." Madonna's spokeswoman did not immediately return a phone call
seeking comment.
 In recent years, Madonna, reared as a Roman Catholic, has
become a follower of kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism, and adopted the
Hebrew name Esther. The New York Times today wrote "Possessing
one of the most distinctive voices in pop music and one of the most distressing
résumés on the big screen, Madonna has proven that whatever the role --
screwball seductress, martyred Argentinean first lady, embittered single
mom-cum-yoga instructrix -- her abilities as a performer will manage to
undermine any production whose credits bear her name. Like Elvis before her,
Madonna has proven that no matter how sterling a pop reputation an artist may
have, success on the Billboard Top 100 does not translate into similar plaudits
at the box office."
 Nearly
naked Pam is back in China ads

campaign featuring actress Pamela Anderson is posted at a Shanghai
subway station.
SHANGHAI, China- A year after
raising the censors' hackles with bus stop ads, Pamela Anderson's
nearly naked image is returning to China on phone cards telling people
not to buy fur. The Canadian-born actress appears topless with her
back to the camera and an arm partly hiding her right breast behind
the slogan, "Give fur the cold shoulder," in English. Behind her, an
image of falling snow appears above Chinese characters reading "Cold
shoulders are nothing compared to the pain they feel" and "Please
don't wear fur."
Government-owned China Telecom and People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals have printed 70,000 of the phone cards, a
toned-down version of Anderson's bus and train stop ads that were
altered three times to reduce the amount of skin on show before being
approved for public display, the animal rights group said recently.
"The people of China deserve to know about the immense suffering of
animals killed for their fur," said Anderson in a statement released
by PETA. "Once people know that animals are electrocuted, drowned,
bludgeoned to death and sometimes skinned alive, they realize fur is
disgusting and that there's nothing luxurious or fashionable about
it," the 38-year-old Stacked actress said.

Celebrated satirical newsman Jon
Stewart went to Canada to talk of all that's wrong with America, but
his Canadian audience couldn't help but put this country - and it's
insecurities-on the agenda. "Mention us on your show," one man
screamed out as Stewart prepared to take his final bow. "What should I
say about you?" asked the affable TV host. "Toronto rocks," was the
reply to which Stewart retorted "that strikes me as a relatively
insecure request. I think Winnipeg knows." ...

Stones show interrupted by bomb scare
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia- A
Rolling Stones' concert at the University of Virginia was
interrupted Thursday night while several police officers and three
bomb-sniffing dogs searched the stage. The show resumed after
about a half-hour intermission. University, state and city police
did not immediately return phone calls about the incident and no
announcement was made to the audience about the reason for the
break. About eight songs into the show, lead singer Mick Jagger
announced authorities had told them to take a break. The stage at
the university's 61,000-seat Scott Stadium and about the first 20
rows of spectators were cleared until police finished their work.
The Rolling Stones are touring North America to promote their latest
album, A Bigger Bang.

Oprah's show helps nab sex offender
 FARGO,
North Dakota- The same week Oprah Winfrey began devoting time on her
show to tracking down sex offenders, she has a collar to show for
it. William C. Davis, 33, of Wadesville, Ind., was arrested in Fargo
on Thursday, two days after the talk-show host broadcast his face
and offered $100,000 for information leading to his capture. Jean
