An Arab prince, the son of the King of Bahrain, is suing the King of Pop for $7 million in a London court. He says Michael Jackson made an agreement for a recording deal and Jacko was going to revive his career by doing songs written by the prince. The prince paid an advance - but Jackson is claiming the money was a gift.

Sheikh Abdulla Bin Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa says he feels betrayed. He claims he built Jackson a recording studio at Neverland, and paid an advance for two albums, a stage show and an autobiography.

Sean Connery may have been voted by fans as the all time favorite James Bond, but blondie Daniel Craig is breaking all US box naughty office records with his incarnation of the 007 British Agent. Craig's film "Quantum of Solace" opened on Friday and went on to score a $70.4 million weekend.

The leaner, blonder, more brooding Bond as played by Craig has proven to be a hit with the fans, despite early predictions that the actor would "ruin" the Bond brand. Looks now like he revived the tired franchise and gave it new life.

Wherever Ali Landry pops up, there's water involved. The 24-year-old Cajun was raised in seaside Breaux Bridge, La., the Crawfish Capital of the World. Once she was all grown-up in an orange one-piece swimsuit, she paddled off with the Miss USA 1996 crown. She has even done some laps on TV in what else other than Sunset Beach, and her tidal turn on the small screen took place in a laundromat. During last January's Super Bowl, she wiped out viewers in an ad for Doritos Puffs: Two cool dudes try to impress her with their prowess at catching the chips in their mouths, but Landry, who studied tap, ballet, and gymnastics for 15 years, outdoes them with a series of splits and leaps performed with a man-melting smile. Her commercial costar Sean P. Hayes says, "We were shooting all day, and a lot of Doritos were consumed. I've never seen anyone look better with orange powder on her face." The 5'8" Landry, who lives in L.A. and dates Phoenix Cardinals quarterback Stoney Case, still can't believe her impact. "It's absolutely crazy," she says, citing her imperfect vision ("I'm almost blind without my glasses"), and her bunions (she kept her favorite tennis shoes through a growth spurt). Even her best beauty secret is low-priced. "I buy this teeth-bleaching stuff at Target and do it myself," she says. Her former apartment mate Brian Edwards swears it works: "When Ali smiled, I would say, 'Stop it, you're blinding me!"'

The 2008 presidential elections are something that none of us will forget. Barack Obama won the election and became the first black president in US history. He won the popular vote by 6 percent and he had a huge lead at the electoral college. From 2009 a new era will start and democrats will change the way things were done in the last 8 years. In Chicago more than 200,000 people waited all night long for the final results of the election and after Obama was declared winner everyone listened a lovely speech from their new president. Probably one of the most remarcable moments of that night was Oprah Winfrey almost crying and saying:

It feels like hope won. It feels like it’s not just victory for … Barack Obama. It feels like America did the right thing. It feels like there’s a shift in consciousness. It feels like something really big and bold has happened here - like nothing ever in our lifetimes did we expect this to happen. It feels like anything is now possible.

Obama’s victory was also celebrated in many places around the world. In Kenya, everyone had a day off from work since Obama’s father was born there. In his relatives’ village they slaughtered a bull after Obama won. In Indonesia people danced in the street, russians deployed missiles to the polish border and in the middle east Hamas celebrated by launching 24 missiles into Israel. Almost everyone is thrilled that Barack became the 44th President of the US.

As if she wasn't famous before, since Lindsay Lohan has been dating DJ pal Samantha Ronson, her life has been turned upside down with hordes of paparazzi following the lesbian couple everywhere. Lohan says they are the worst in L.A., and says their constant presence is too overwhelming.

She tells Access Hollywood, "They're kind of rough in L.A. They're dangerous with their cars and they don't listen to you no matter what. They're always outside the house, whether the cops ask them to not be there or not."

With six kids in the nest at home, power star Angelina Jolie is talking - again! - about semi-retirement. She told the BBC that she plans to fade away from acting to spend more time raising her family. Um, unless a good script comes along. What she's trying to say is that she won't be such a workaholic now that there's six young girl-uns and hunky Brad Pitt who need her time too.

“I have a lot of children. I have a big responsibility to make sure that they’re growing right and that they have got us there for them,” she said.

Paula Abdul is rightly freaked out by the suicide of a crazy fan and former Idol wannabe named Paula Goodspeed, 30, who was found dead in her car which was parked near Abdul’s home on Wednesday.

Now OK! magazine is reporting that Abdul, 45, who is said to be shocked and saddened by the tragedy, is wanting to leave her judge's chair on "American Idol" anyway and move on with new projects - even more so now that Idol has added a 4th judge, Kara DioGuardi.

Joe Jonas apparently isn't pining for country singer Taylor Swift since the couple broke up a month ago. The hottie middle bro has found new girlfriend in 22-year-old Camilla Belle, the actress from '10,000 BC.'

Just to show that she's over it - but not REALLY OVER it - poor Jennifer Aniston is finally speaking out about her broken marriage to Brad Pitt who left her for Angelina Jolie. In an interview in the December 2008 issue of Vogue, Aniston allegedly told the magazine, "What Angelina did was very uncool."

How polite! It's almost a glimpse of her hurt feelings about what went down a couple of years ago when Brad played Mr Smith to Jolie's Mrs Smith - and the two fell hard for one another.

After toiling for a decade in low-grade films and a host of TV shows, Teri Polo finally earned a helping of recognition, topped off with a dollop of critical appreciation, for her portrayal of Ben Stiller's would-be fiancée in Jay Roach's 2000 autumn blockbuster Meet the Parents. The casting of Polo as the daughter of über-WASP suburban gentry (Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner) capitalized on her Pepsident-blond, all-American looks, and the film's success effectively provided the actress with the exposure that would allow her to move beyond the confines of weeknight television spots. The daughter of a stereo systems designer and a homemaker, Polo was born in Dover, DE, and raised there in the company of two older brothers. A ballet student from the age of five, she spent most of her childhood and adolescence in a dance studio, but after being rejected by a performing arts school at 17, Polo re-evaluated what she wanted to do with her life; her subsequent win in a Seventeen magazine modeling contest led to her decision to drop out of school and pursue an acting career in New York. Roles on TV shows ranging from the ABC soap opera Loving to Northern Exposure followed, as did starring work as the object of Ethan Hawke's affections in the thankless comedy Mystery Date (1991). After moving to Los Angeles in 1995 to better pursue her career, Polo found more work on television, guest-starring on such shows as Felicity and Sports Night. With Meet the Parents in 2000, the actress' years of hard work seemed finally to have paid off, as she enjoyed mention in the national media and a crop of studio offers.

That 70s Show and Punk'd star Ashton Kutcher thought he could be a guy's guy and coach some high school football. Not so fast! His celebrity may get him any gig he pleases but he's no coach of the year - just ask the kids that are forced to deal with the douche.

While Kutcher replaced his usual trucker cap for a sports lid, he's enjoying himself as assistant coach to the Harvard-Westlake school freshman football team in North Hollywood. His players, however, aren't feeling the same joy.

“I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman?” Beyonce Knowles told LA Times blog Hero Complex. “It would be great."

Whoa. Didn't Beyonce see Halle Barry in that awful Catwoman flick? The whole chick-in-a-costume kicking butt is tough to pull off, but Beyonce is convinced it will work for her. Why you ask? Because she's totally in love with the costume. Not the role -- the COSTUME.

Madonna's recently announced divorce from Guy Ritchie has foiled her plans to adopt another Malawi child, so says the country’s Child Welfare Services director who says the child can't go into a broken family. The singer has wanted to adopt a hot girl, Mercy James, who she was introduced to during an orphanage visit in 2006.

But Malawian official Penston Kilembe says the split with Guy, means the adoption cannot be approved. ‘One fundamental condition in scrutinizing adoptions is the connectedness of a family,’ he says.

With the unconventional good looks and quirky persona that shout Leading Character Actress, Alyson Hannigan made a name for herself on the WB series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As Buffy's confidant Willow Rosenberg, the actress endeared herself to a legion of fans and then won over film audiences everywhere with her scene-stealing turn as geeky flutist Michelle in the 1999 summer smash American Pie. Born March 24, 1974, in Washington, D.C., Hannigan became a TV commercial veteran following her family's move to Atlanta. From the age of four, Hannigan appeared in a steady stream of commercials, including ones for Oreo and McDonald's. At the age of 11, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film and television. She made her big-screen debut in the 1988 film My Stepmother Is an Alien, as Dan Aykroyd's daughter. The following year, she won a regular spot on the short-lived sitcom Free Spirit and acted in a variety of television miniseries and sitcoms (including Roseanne and Picket Fences) until 1997, when she won the part of Willow on Buffy. The show proved to be an unexpected success among critics and viewers alike, and paved the way for Hannigan to appear opposite Tom Everett Scott in the 1998 comedy Dead Man on Campus. American Pie followed the next year, giving Hannigan wider recognition and making her an unintentional poster child for band camps everywhere. A small stint in the Jason Biggs/Freddie Prinze Jr. flop Boys and girls (2000) did little to further her career, but thanks to a beefed-up part from writer Adam Herz, Hannigan found herself revisiting the sexually advanced but socially backward Michelle in 2001's high-profile sequel American Pie 2. Though critics were mixed on the franchise's sophomore offering, they praised Hannigan's ability to fully flesh out a character who essentially served as an elaborate punch line in the first film.
