http://news.yahoo.com/s/eo/20060310/en_mus...lt=AjXmCJ0fVO... By Sarah Hall Fri Mar 10, 6:56 PM ET It seems that Steven Tyler is feeling less than F.I.N.E fine. The Aerosmith frontman has reportedly come down with an unspecified illness that has forced the veteran rockers to cancel a string of recent tour dates. No details of Tyler's ailment have been made public and no notice of the cancellations has appeared on the band's official Website. Though published reports have identified Tyler as the ailing band member, the band's spokesperson stopped short of a confirmation. "I know there?s illness in the camp," Shazila Mohammed, tour press director, said in a statement. "Beyond that, I can?t say." On Saturday, the aging Rock and Roll Hall of Famers bowed out of an appearance in Pensacola, Florida just hours before they were scheduled to take the stage at the Pensacola Civic Center. "The show was here, there were 18 trucks and 13 buses and everything was ready to go," civic center spokesperson Cyndee Pennington told the Pensacola News Journal. "But Aerosmith wasn't even in town. But their tour manager was in the venue and he told us." On Tuesday, the band pulled a similar stunt before an appearance in Lexington, Kentucky, canceling an appearance at Rupp Arena just 15 minutes before they were due to touch down at the local airport. "We had an 11 a.m. phone call telling us he [Tyler] was fine," arena spokesman Carl Hall, director of arena management at Rupp, told the Lexington Herald-Leader. "Everybody breathed a sign of relief. Then the sigh became a gasp. The band was flying here, they were in the air, when whatever was going wrong with Steve Tyler messed up again." Without giving further explanation for the no-show, the band reportedly turned its plane around and returned to their hometown of Boston. But even after returning to familiar stomping grounds, Aerosmith was not prepared to perform their concert in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Thursday. On Friday, came word that the band was also canceling a Sunday appearance in Hershey, Pennsylvania. There were no plans to reschedule any of the shows, though refunds for the tickets were available at point of purchase. Aerosmith is next slated to appear Wednesday in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The current tour is scheduled to wrap up April 9 in Vancouver. Per Billboard, Aerosmith is the number three tour in the country, behind U2 and Bon Jovi.

I had a friend in high school. This disease seemed to hit everyone in her family. Like 7 of her relatives, aunts and cousins, had it. She lost her aunt to it at age 23!!!! That is so damn young. I know an attorney who just lost his wife to it. Probably mid-30s but they had 3 little kids. So sad. I hope they find a cure for it and diabetes which is another one I hope they cure. My brother has had it since 4 and he is almost 30.

Kimora Lee's em-Phat-ic: She and Russell are in love Don't call Kimora Lee Simmons' marriage to Russell Simmons one of convenience. She'll be the first to tell you it's anything but. 'I am inconvenienced, s—!' she says. Kimora Lee Simmons is hosing down talk that her blissful marriage to hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons is a sham.Ever since they wed in 1998, the power couple has battled gossip that their union was one of "convenience" - that business, more than passion, held them together, and that their interests, shall we say, lay elsewhere.Kimora argues: "One thing my marriage is not is convenient. I am inconvenienced, s-! "Honey, Russell and I have been together 14 years," she adds. "That's almost half my life."The bodacious model and fashion czarina admits she and Def Jam founder have had their rough patches."The things we go through are very regular things that regular people in Middle America go through," she tells Margeaux Watson in Vibe Vixen magazine. Folks in Kenosha, Wis., may not have exactly the same issues. Take that time Russell slapped her picture on a Phat Farm T-shirt without her permission. "He didn't pay me, which is totally illegal," she points out. "That's like putting a print of Beyoncé on my shirt - she would sue the s- out of me! But I never did sue him. See, that's one of the things about being married. "I think he probably feels that he's paid me in so many other ways, and I feel like that's true," she said.Kimora's rep yesterday denied the couple was headed for divorce, even though career demands often keep them apart.A friend of the couple admitted that, even though Kimora is often seen with an entourage of girlfriends, "in private, she and Russell are very much in love."She clearly enjoys the bounty their union has brought her. "I don't apologize for my diamonds, Rolls-Royce, Range Rover or anything," she says. "Look, Queen Elizabeth has more diamonds than me. Why don't people attack her for it? And she even sounds flattered that Russell slapped her image on "a line of underwear - all over the boys' d-s ... I've been all over their a-; they just sittin' all over me."

Things are not well in the marriage (of convenience) of Star Jones and Al Reynolds, as the two demonstrated Thursday night over dinner at Ago in West Hollywood.The View co-host is in town on her book tour and decided to hit the trendy restaurant for dinner with her husband and several pals, including Natalie Cole, one of our moles at Ago tells us."From the moment they walked in, it was a scene," says our tipster. "Star had Al wipe of her chair in the bar - where they waited for everyone in their party to arrive before they could be seated. It was incredible. Who has someone wipe a perfectly clean chair before sitting down?"Star Jones does, bitches!Then, almost instantly, Big Gay Al began downing drinks.His beverage of choice? French martinis, which are our favorite too! They make us feel butch."Star looked like a drag queen," says our Ago ally. "She was dressed in all-white, had pancake makeup on, false eyelashes, and she even had the nerve to wear a white fur wrap."PETA should protest outside her book signing!"Star was not in a good mood," says our tipster. "Al was ignoring her all night long. He just kept having French martinis and texting on his Sidekick. Then, in a hurry, Star left the restaurant - before the food was even served - and left Al behind with Natalie and their other friends."After Ago, we wouldn't be surprised if BGA made an appearance at the Slammer or the Power Zone or one of LA's other fine "saunas."As for Star, we may have to pay her a visit at one of her two book signings this weekend!perezhilton.com

STAR & AL IN BUST-UP Nat'l Enquirer By ALEXANDER HITCHEN Star Jones and hubby Al Reynolds had an angry screaming match triggered by rumors that he is gay. Insiders also say the bust-up has led to fears that The View host's 15-month-old marriage is in crisis. And Star fueled speculation that divorce is in the cards when she went on TV with her wedding ring on the wrong hand! An insider said: "Star and Al had a loud fight that is causing the latest problems in their troubled marriage. "I think at the root of it all is the fact she wonders whether Al really loves her. Gay rumors have followed their marriage from the beginning. It's probably caused her to question what's really going on. He seems to be hanging with his friends at odd hours." The National Enquirer revealed in November how rumors over 47-year-old banker Al's sexuality had hurt the relationship. The insider said: "Al goes away for days. Star says he's working out of town. But she knows he's working less. He's living like a king." Star, 43, appeared on TV on February 8 with a Band-Aid where her wedding ring usually is. At a booksigning session in White Plains, N.Y. later that day, she said: "I got 1,000 messages asking me if something was wrong and I said no. I told them not to worry. It's a nice thing that people are that loving - I appreciate it." Star said she had moved her ring because of an infection on her wedding finger. But she hinted her marriage was not completely hunky-dory, when she went on: "It's not all hearts and flowers and running toward each other in slow motion."

I think Teri would look a hell of a lot better with some meat on her bones. She just doesnt look good at that age that skinny. I think some of the gals up in that age bracket getting that skinny ages them. My aunt was an always kind of on the chunky side and she went on Adkins or something and got so skinny and it looks like it also aged her 10 years.

He probably is her date. I think there is something incestual about that family. The daughters and the dad.

Swanni Names Teri Hatcher as the 'Worst Looking' Celebrity in HDTV 29/09/2005 - 18:06:43 For the Second Straight Year, the High-Definition TV Guru Reveals Which Stars Look Better or Worse in Crystal-Clear High-Def. Jessica Alba Is Named the Best-Looking Celebrity in HDTV PRESS RELEASE via MARKET WIRE – The High-Definition TV picture is so clear that aging signs and skin imperfections are dramatically visible, no matter how much make-up is applied. Phillip Swann, a.k.a, 'Swanni,' the president of TVPredictions.com, generated international media attention for his 2004 list of the 10 celebrities who look better -- and worse -- in high-def. His selections have been featured in hundreds of publications such as The New York Times Magazine, The New York Post and on CNN and Fox News. Now, Swanni has named his 2005 'Best and Worst' in HDTV. Who's number one on the 'Worst' list? Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher! Swanni says: "In high-def, the 'Desperate Housewives' star looks really desperate. Hatcher's forehead is covered with bulging veins, making it look like a page from a AAA Road Map. And Hatcher is so skinny that she makes Calista Flockhart look like Queen Latifah." Swanni names Demi Moore as the second worst-looking celeb in high-def. "She has those tell-tale wrinkles around her lips, suggesting she's a chain-smoker. Moore used to be in the Brat Pack, but her face looks like it's been buried in a cigarette pack," Swanni says. Completing the 10 'HDTV Horribles' list are: 3. Donald Trump; 4. Heather Locklear; 5. David Letterman; 6. President George W. Bush; 7. Ray Liotta; 8. Sandra Bullock; 9. Former President Bill Clinton; 10. Clint Eastwood. Swanni says that in high-def, Trump's face "looks more puffed up than one of his hotel's quarterly reports." Swanni selected "Sin City's" Jessica Alba as the best-looking celebrity in HDTV with "Desperate's" Eva Longoria number two. Rounded out the 'HDTV Honeys' list are: 3. Anna Kournikova; 4. Ben Affleck; 5. Ashton Kutcher; 6. Marcia Cross; 7. Halle Berry; 8. Jessica Simpson; 9. Nicole Kidman; 10. Angelina Jolie. "It's appropriate that Ms. Alba starred in 'Sin City' because she looks so good in high-def that it should be a sin," Swanni says.

Her and Cameron Diaz were voted most horrible looking stars on HDTV for some poll they did. Others won for their skin looking good but I cannot recall who it was anymore. Ill try to find it.

Duff never weighs herself and doesn't know how much weight she ended up losing while on tour recently. She explains, "My best friend was on tour with me and we swam 30 laps every day. "We always made sure we stayed at hotels with pools and on the days I didn't feel like doing it she'd be like, 'Let's go.'" The singer also cut out carbohydrates, such as pasta, rice and bread, while she was on the road and has continued working out regularly. She adds, "When I finished that tour, my sister (introduced) me to pilates, and I just got obsessed with it. I do it three or four times a week when I'm not traveling."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060207/ap_en_...armstrong_crowe NEW YORK - Lance Armstrong closed his weekly satellite radio show on a bittersweet note by playing ex-fiancee Sheryl Crow's song "Letter To God." The seven-time Tour De France winner and the Grammy-winning rocker announced their breakup in a joint statement last week after "much thought and consideration," despite their "deep love and respect." Armstrong acknowledged the split in his Sunday night talk show, "Armstrong Radio," on the Sirius Satellite Radio channel "Faction," saying he was "torn it didn't work out." "Obviously, this week was a rough week for us, but that doesn't change the fact that Sheryl is an unbelievable lady, one of the smartest, wisest, most gifted people I've ever met and a person that I can honestly say has shown me a love that I never knew," he said. "It's only fair that I say that, and it's only fair that we play one of her songs tonight and not run from the situation." Crow, 43, has called Armstrong, 34, the inspiration for her last album, "Wildflower," which was released in September. They announced their engagement in September.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/indexd?blogid=7 Cattrall To Spread Her Sex Wisdom to Teens Former "Sex and the City" actress Kim Cattrall is using her life experiences to offer advice and guidance to teenage girls in her next book. After writing best-sellers "Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm" and "Sexual Intelligence," thrice-divorced Cattrall is offering less explicit advice to young women. Piccadilly Press, who is publishing "Everything I Ever Learned About Being a Girl," claims Cattrall will use her "real-life" experiences growing up in Canada and England to offer lessons. The publisher says, "It will be like the advice of an older sister. The idea is that Kim will advise teenagers to be cautious, so that they learn from her mistakes." Despite the sexual tone of her previous tomes, Piccadilly insists the latest book will not encourage promiscuity, which Cattrall's on-screen persona of Samantha Jones is famous for.

"I just heard a commotion and came outside to see what was going on," said Kevin Campos, a student at the institute. "I saw a guy with a bloody face. He went into the library to wipe his face, then he came back out and confronted Rafael. That's when I went to get security," Campos said. A telephone message left after business hours with the school, and an e-mail sent to an address listed on Moreira's Web site, were not immediately returned late Monday. Moreira, who graduated from the institute in 1998, is listed on its Web site as one of its "success stories."

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...howbiznews.ht... I can't fulfil all Ralph's needs, admits actress by NICOLE LAMPERT, Daily Mail 08:15am 7th February 2006 Francesca Annis has forgiven boyfriend Ralph Fiennes for having a two-year affair with a woman half her age, it was revealed yesterday. The 62-year-old actress has told friends that she knows that she cannot "fulfil all his sexual needs". Miss Annis is planning to stand by Fiennes, whose career has been revived by the success of A Constant Gardener, despite Romanian singer Cornelia Crisan reveaing details of their affair. Miss Annis has told friends that the thing she is most upset about is that her 11-year relationship with Fiennes - who is 19 years her junior - will now be raked over in a 'vulgar' way. "Francesca did not know about the affair but she is not surprised that he has been seeing another woman for sex,' said a friend last night. "They have often discussed his need for sex which she knows she can't satisfy. "They have a complex relationship and they both have very different needs. He needs far more sex and thrills than she does. "She needs to work, she looks after her very old mother, and has responsibilities as a mother herself. She can't give Ralph all the energy and excitement he needs. "But Francesca also knows that she is his rock and that he always comes back. They spend a lot of time apart but they both relish what they have together when they are together." 'Under strain' The friend added that the pair had been under more strain in the last two years. "When she reached 60 she felt she was hurtling towards old age and she realised how big the age gap is between her and Ralph," said the friend. "They have been having problems since then but this is not going to be the thing that breaks them up. "The thing she hates most about this is that she really can't stand being in the public eye for a vulgar reason. She only likes her work to be in the public domain." Miss Crisan claimed her affair with Fiennes - who has denied any misbehaviour, despite being previously linked to a string of women - began after they met at a party at the Dorchester Hotel. He persuaded the 31-year-old singer to go up to his bedroom where he seduced her. She claimed that over the next two years she met up with Fiennes for sex 30 more times at her house and in a bolthole he has near Spitalfields Market in the East End. Yesterday Miss Annis refused to answer calls at the home she shares with Fiennes in Hammersmith, West London. Her family said her 93-year-old mother Marquita had not been told about the affair because she was so frail. Fiennes is in Dublin where he is performing in The Faith Healer and friends say Miss Annis may go to see him in the show this week. They met when she played Hamlet's mother Gertrude and he played Hamlet in a production of the tragedy at the Hackney Empire in 1995. His wife, ER star Alex Kingston was devastated by the affair, as was her long-time boyfriend, photographer Patrick Wiseman, who is the father of her three children.

Moore is set to work with the "Die Another Day" director on the new movie "Next" and insists she wouldn't think about pulling out of the project because of Tamahori's scandal. She says, "I feel bad for him. I think the experience was probably pretty upsetting and humiliating and he's been very, very brave about it." The former James Bond director was arraigned in Los Angeles last week after allegedly soliciting an undercover cop, while dressed as a woman. The director was arrested in Hollywood last month, after he approached the police officer who was in his car, entered the vehicle and offered to perform a sex act for money.

Ill add my 2 cents. Sheryl and Lance look the same age face wise - her real age, in the 40's. I dont think she looks that young in the face. She looks pretty much her age. She is no Teri Hatcher and I will give her that. Teris face looks 50 or more. Body wise, Sheryl and Lance look about in their early 30's which is his age.
