Why Brad and Angie finally had enough
So why are Brangelina suing the News of The World when
almost every celebrity magazine has printed many more damaging
"revelations"? Well, it kills two birds with one stone. As the
law is so different, celebrities have virtually no way to sue over gossip
allegations in the US. The News of The World is big and rich enough to be
worth taking to court, and suing Murdoch is unlikely to displease
them. If they win then US publications publishing these false claims would
be deemed guilty of malice, the US definition of defamation, and they could
then sue for millions. So, not only are the Jolie-Pitts taking a stand about
what's been said about them they also stop future gossip.
You've got to think they have a point - we've been looking at the last three
years of celebrity magazines. Brad and Angelina have been married twice,
split twenty times, Brad's gone back to Jen eight times, Jen's been over
Brad three times, and she's been pining for him sixteen times. Oh and she
was pregnant with his baby last August. Except she doesn't seem to be. And
Brad refused to have any more kids with Angelina, just five months
before their twins were born. He started to turn to drink last January, and
in March and somehow again after Christmas.

Eurovision
goes back to the 70s
Despite having made some significant stepstowards being a credible force
again in the last 10 years it seems the 2010 Eurovision Song
Contest will mark another sea change in the competition’s history. The same
sea change it saw in 1969. Yes, the Eurovision has gone
bafflingly 70s. Next to this lot, even UK'sdecision to get Pete Waterman
involved looks modern.
Cyprus has gone for a John Mayer clone, Norway and Iceland have gone cruise
ship, Switzerland's entry has extraordinary ears
and a song called "Golden Shower", whileHolland's decision to get Father
Abrahamas songwriter somehow turns out to be worse than you even imagined:

Helping Haiti <<
Haven't they suffered enough?
It's hard to know what's the best news Haiti's received this week:
Could it be that both Alexandra Burke and Angelina Jolie have visited?
Or that Lindsay Lohan is selling leggings to raise money for them?
Or perhaps that Harley-Davidson have donated28 motorbikes to the country?
Because when230,000 of your compatriots have just died,
and almost all the roads are blocked, ridingyour own Hog must really seem
like thatdream come true...
