“Earlier this year, after much soul searching, Kevin Richardson came to us and told us that he had decided to leave the group and pursue other interests. He gave his blessing to continue the music without him. We have no intention of replacing Kevin, and the door will always be open for him to return to the Backstreet Boys. We wish him the all the best in his future endeavors. This weekend we are returning to the studio to begin the follow-up to Never Gone, and will see you later this year with a new album.”
Hey everybody, sorry it has been so long since I've updated you. I've been very busy. I know there are alot of rumors floating around about my status with BSB. After thirteen years of what can only be described as a dream come true, I have decided to leave the Backstreet Boys. It was a very tough decision for me but one that was necessary in order for me to move on with the next chapter of my life. Howard, Brian, Alex, and Nick will always be my little brothers and will continue to have my utmost love and support. I want to thank you all for the beautiful memories we have shared together and look forward to including you in the next phase of my life. I wish my brothers continued success and look forward to their new album. Peace and love, Kevin Richardson

I was at Bungalow on Friday and both Lindsay and Paris were there. I couldn't believe it but, Paris attacked Lindsay. I can't believe this hasn't made it onto any of the blogs, but i swear it happened. I didnt see the actual punch, but my friend heard the yelling and them getting pulled apart.
Later that night I heard Lindsay speaking to one of her friends and saying 'that bitch fucking hit me, like im bruised' but other then that was pretty mature about it saying 'i just wanna get the fuck away from her'.
It was almost closing and Lindz was on a very long trip to the bathroom to 'change' when Paris's table started yelling shit at Lindz's. table. They said 'the night was fucking over, why dont you just go home' while paris just sat there like an idiot saying nothing and grinning. Then her table all got up marched out, yelling 'firecrotch' on their way out.

She said: "When I made it onto American Idol, I knew that food – my eating disorder – was the one thing really holding me back. I was bingeing my whole life away for days at a time … So when I got on the show, I said, 'You know what? I can do well in this competition. Let me give myself a chance and just get ahold of this thing.' "
With the support of her parents, Peisha, 52, and Daniel, 57, and her actor boyfriend, Nick Cokas, 41, in October McPhee enrolled at Los Angeles's Eating Disorder Center of California, where she spent three months undergoing group and individual therapy, six days a week.
Finally, her program at the Eating Disorder Center helped her gain control of her relationship with food – but it wasn't easy. "I really had to surrender and give up having a free life to do the program, because I'd be there from 9 in the morning until 7 at night. … I remember that first night, my dad holding me, crying and saying, 'I don't know why you have to suffer through this, but it's going to be okay.'

In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the Academy Award-winning actress claims the magazine published a false story that she was pregnant "in a callous effort to boost the tabloid's sagging sales."
"Contrary to the fabricated Cover Story," the lawsuit says, "the true facts are that [Reese] is not pregnant, does not have a 'baby bump' and has not otherwise gained weight such that she has had to resort to wearing 'Empire-waist dresses,' 'baggy clothing,' or an 'old-fashioned 1920's bathing suit.'"
Reese also alleges in the suit that "this fabricated tall tale was brazenly published as a prominent and conspicuous cover story for the purpose of garnering the maximum attention to the tabloid..."
The lawsuit claims the story was a violation of Reese's privacy and portrays her in a false light. It seeks unspecified damages.
Mike Kahane, General Counsel for American Media, told TMZ, "It is a frivolous lawsuit. It has no legal merit and we intend to vigorously defend it and have every confidence that we will prevail."
We asked Kahane if Star believes Witherspoon is pregnant. He said, "The article asks the question as to whether or not she is pregnant based on her physical appearance and clothing that she was wearing and we believe we have every right to ask that question."

I'm thinking it will go something like this:The noir scribblings of the Babyshambles frontman — including drawings, photographs, poems and film reviews — have been culled from 20 volumes of Doherty's personal journals and will be published in hardback in March 2007.
Orion Publishing Group said Wednesday it had purchased world rights to the journals, but Doherty later failed to attend an event to celebrate the deal at London's Boogaloo pub.
The singer had been slated to read an excerpt from one of his poems.
His diaries date back to 1999 — before Doherty first caught the attention of the media with the now disbanded post-punk revival band The Libertines.
Doherty's writings chronicle his rise from anonymity to celebrity, Orion commissioning editor Ian Preece said.
"Some of it is quite funny," Preece told reporters. "But some of it is very, very dark."

There are no exceptions. None," said Judge Patrick Carroll, who also granted accelerated rehabilitation to Lewis' owner, Ruth Cisero. That means her record will be expunged if she successfully completes two years of probation.
Cisero had faced a charge of reckless endangerment because neighbors complained that the cat's long claws and stealth have allowed it to attack at least a half-dozen people and ambush the Avon lady as she was getting out of her car.
Cisero had fought to keep Lewis alive and in Connecticut. She rejected a previous offer of accelerated rehabilitation if she agreed to euthanize Lewis.
Carroll said Lewis cannot leave the house, even if he gets out accidentally. He said the case is not about a cat, but about people having the right to live in safety in their neighborhoods.
The case drew national attention. Lewis has appeared in People magazine and his own page on the social networking site MySpace.com.
But Cisero said Tuesday she would prefer to have never had the attention.
"I never thought it would come to this," she said. "It's been an absolute nightmare. It's ruined my life."
