Naked Neighbors Call Cops, Told to Shut Blinds

Pamela Spice babenteen.comIf you’re naked and your neighbor is looking at you through your open window, you shouldn’t call the Seattle police to bitch about it.

A Seattle man accused of peering at his young female neighbors with binoculars couldn’t help it because the women’s blinds were up, his wife says.

Police reported the man acknowledged watching the neighbor women through their uncovered windows, but the man’s wife defended him, saying the women left their blinds up and were “putting on a show” by walking around naked, the Seattle Times reported Wednesday.

Officers didn’t cite the man and told the neighbor women, whose ages were not provided, to get their blinds fixed, the newspaper said. The report noted that the women said the blinds were broken but that they would ask their landlord to make repairs.

Sounds like a plan. The good news is that the women were apparently worth looking at naked. If these were some ugly bitches, he could probably sue.

The photo is not, unless it’s a really uncanny coincidence, of the actual neighbors who called the cops.  She’s just some hottie named Pamela Spice (I’m guessing: not her real name) that I found when I did a Google image search.  But, hey, people need pictures to help visualize these things.

25 Funniest People in America

Presenting The 25 Funniest People in America. From Conan O’Brien to Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey to Craig Ferguson, let’s count down the names of the entertainers who make us laugh the hardest.

25. AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS

Burroughs’ best-selling memoir Running with Scissors — about being raised by a nutso shrink who studies his poo and rents the back shed to a pedophile — is unbelievably disturbing. And sidesplitting. At first we felt guilty giggling at his adventures with an electroshock therapy machine, but Burroughs knows that laughter is the best antidepressant. Much better than booze, which the author struggles to kick in his equally effervescent follow-up, Dry.

24. CATHERINE O’HARA

After her run on SCTV in the late ’70s, Hollywood didn’t know what to do with O’Hara. Fortunately, Christopher Guest did. In Waiting for Guffman, she and Fred Willard are tracksuit-wearing answers to Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire; in Best in Show, she’s a onetime floozy with a prize terrier and a torrid past; and in A Mighty Wind, O’Hara shows off a subtler comic touch, proving that humor doesn’t always mean a pie in the face.

23. SARAH SILVERMAN

The Lenny Bruce of the 21st century might be this hot, foul-mouthed, button-punching stand-up. Silverman is ruthlessly funny about topics like sex, the Holocaust, and 9/11, which may be why The Sarah Silverman Program has a permanent slot on our DVR. Oh, and if you hadn’t heard, she’s f—ing Matt Damon.

22. DAVE CHAPPELLE

The fact that Diamond Dave is all but absent from the comedic stage these days doesn’t invalidate his funny. After all, Chappelle’s revered Comedy Central show — on which the wiry comic gleefully engaged in crass T&A humor, swore like a sailor, and mocked everyone in the multiculti rainbow, confronting race in a way that is positively Pryor-esque — is still the best sketch comedy this country has seen in more than a decade. For that alone, he deserves a spot on any list like this.

21. DEMETRI MARTIN

You know what’s funny? Palindromes and anagrams. ”Shut up, Grandma,” you say, but we say shut up yourself and watch Demetri Martin work a stand-up mic. ”A drunk driver’s very dangerous. Everybody knows that. But so is a drunk backseat driver — if he’s persuasive.” The floppy-haired heir to Steven Wright won a prestigious award at last year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, taking him from the comedy underground to…the comedy slightly less underground.

20. DIABLO CODY

Not to be partial, but the newly minted Oscar winner showed off her comedic — and emotional — chops with her debut screenplay for Juno. Did we mention it won an Oscar?

19. CRAIG FERGUSON

Late night is the province of the mono-name. Jay! Dave! Conan! Then there’s that Scottish guy, two-name ID required: Craig Ferguson. You know, the one who can’t quite be pinned down. Since taking over CBS’ Late Late Show from Craig Kilborn in 2005, Ferguson has brought a fresh burst of energy to the format. He’s reinvented the opening monologue, doing away with most of the topical jokes and just ad-libbing about his life. Along with fresh energy, he’s brought something else — ratings. Ferguson, 45 and a brand-spanking-new U.S. Citizen, doesn’t get as much media attention as time-slot competitors Jimmy Kimmel or Conan, but with an audience of just under 2 million, the great Scot outperforms the former and has climbed within 500,000 viewers of the latter.

18. JACK BLACK

Black is an entirely new classification of human: the frenetic slacker. Before his turn as doofus band reject/inspirational teacher Dewey Finn in School of Rock, he was the Ritalin-deprived half of Tenacious D (along with his partner, Kyle Gass) and the list-obsessed record-shop shlub in High Fidelity. He is, inarguably, the coolest fusion of music and comedy since Spinal Tap. (And, if Tropic Thunder is as good as we’ve been led to believe, we’ll forgive him that whole Nacho Libre business.)

17. DAVID LETTERMAN

With a receding hairline and a jogger’s grim jowls, Dave is no one’s idea of a hip comic, and he likes it that way. New-school gone old-school, the upstart who first pumped irony into the talk show still rails against the stupidity of the powerful and yet has the charm to melt Julia Roberts.

16. AMY SEDARIS AND DAVID SEDARIS

Big brother is the best-selling author of the sublime autobiographical essay collections Me Talk Pretty One Day and Naked, full of terrific riffs about stuff like his cuckoo-clock North Carolina clan and his midget guitar teacher. Little sis was the rubber-faced star of Comedy Central’s truly strange Strangers With Candy, as well as coauthor of the book Wigfield.

15. WILL FERRELL

See, there’s this man-child who latches onto Will Ferrell in most every role he plays — and good luck getting the little guy to let go. As a result, we are treated to inspired displays of dolt-trapped-in-the-headlights hijinks, be it in the form of Old School’s keghead Frank the Tank (who goes from repressed to regressed to undressed) or Talladega Nights’ Ricky Bobby, the dumbest, most earnest NASCAR driver on the circuit — who’s also the most comfortable with his sexuality.

14. RICKY GERVAIS

Okay, so he doesn’t spend all that much of his time in America. We don’t care. Whether as the creator of The Office and Extras, a supporting actor in movies like For Your Consideration or Night at the Museum, or doing killer stand-up (as seen most recently in Grand Theft Auto IV), he’s still as funny as the dog’s bollocks.

13. ELLEN DEGENERES

DeGeneres, whose career seemed all but kaput a few years ago, has earned back adoration simply by being her affably dry self on the Emmy-winning The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Whether it’s her circuitous monologues, her deadpan celebrity interviews, or that vocal turn as Dory in Finding Nemo, she remains one of the cleanest, coolest funny ladies around.

12. DAVID CROSS

All conversations about his genius start here: Along with Bob Odenkirk, he created the cunning HBO sketch series Mr. Show, which routinely put SNL to silly shame. And not only does Cross work little miracles in supporting roles (remember his role as feckless freak-job Tobias on Fox’s Arrested Development?), he can drop some pretty fearsome stand-up (who else talks about being raped by the Virgin Mary?). Simply put, this dude never kowtows for his funny.

11. CONAN O’BRIEN

Smarty-pants isn’t usually a compliment, but O’Brien wears them so well. When this Harvard geek isn’t riffing on Muammar Gaddafi in his monologue, he’s making absurd innovations in low-brow comedy. Now, let’s see if those absurd innovations will play on The Tonight Show….

The Top 10 are after the jump!!

78 Year Old Hit-and-Run Victim Left for Dead – Video

This story is just so disturbing, I had to post it.

A 78-year-old man is tossed like a rag doll by a hit-and-run driver and lies motionless on a busy city street as car after car goes by.

Nobody did anything to help him!!

78 Year Old Hit-and-Run Victim Left for Dead - Photo

Pedestrians gawk but do nothing. One driver stops briefly but then pulls back into traffic. A man on a scooter slowly circles the victim before zipping away.

The chilling scene – captured on video by a streetlight surveillance camera – has touched off a round of soul-searching in Hartford, with the capital city’s biggest newspaper blaring “SO INHUMANE” on the front page and the police chief lamenting: “We no longer have a moral compass.”

“We have no regard for each other,” said Chief Daryl Roberts, who released the video this week in hopes of making an arrest in the daylight accident last Friday that left Angel Arce Torres in critical condition.

The hit-and-run took place about 5:45 p.m. in a working-class neighborhood close to downtown in this city of 125,000.

In the video, Torres walks in the two-way street just blocks from the state Capitol after buying milk at a grocery. A tan Toyota and a dark Honda that is apparently chasing it cross the center line, and Torres is struck by the Honda. Both cars then dart down a side street.

You know, it’s bad enough that two apparent imbeciles were racing on the wrong side of the street, which resulted in hitting an elderly man, and then fled the scene. Yes, that’s horrible.

The worst part, however, is that NOBODY DID ANYTHING TO HELP HIM, ONLY GAWKED!

Absolutely disgusting! What’s wrong with people?

Rob Lowe’s Nanny on Today Show – Video

Rob Lowe‘s former nanny filed a lawsuit Monday claiming the actor repeatedly exposed himself and inappropriately touched her.

quote2.jpgJessica Gibson, 24, worked for Lowe and his wife, Sheryl, off and on for seven years, according to an 18-page document filed Monday in a Santa Barbara, Calif. court. Gibson quit on Feb. 24.

Lowe, 44, the lawsuit further alleges, “placed his hand inside Gibson’s pants” several times from about Sept. 2005 to around Jan. 2008. The actor also allegedly grabbed her buttocks without her consent around Dec. 2007, according to the filing.

In a statement read on Tuesday’s Today show – while Gibson was being interviewed with her attorney Gloria Allred – the Lowes’ attorney, Stanton “Larry” Stein, said: “Ms. Gibson’s older sister worked for the Lowes for 7 years. Ms. Gibson worked for the Lowes on and off for 7 years. She left at least 2 times, to pursue other jobs, and returned each time asking for more hours. She sent 2 emails the day after she left, both saying she loved the Lowes and her leaving had nothing to do with them but her heart wasn’t into being a nanny anymore.

“This is totally inconsistent with her latest allegations,” Stein added. “An investigation of dozens of present and former employees has failed to find one single person to verify her allegations. The allegations in the complaint are simply untrue.”

Allred then replied: “We don’t think so.”

Asked why she returned to work in the household, Gibson answered, “I love the children. I needed the job. I thought it would get better, and I was scared.”

In her legal papers, Gibson also made harassment claims against Sheryl, 46, claiming Lowe’s wife would walk around the house naked, make vulgar comments, and would discuss her sex life with Lowe to the nanny.

“This is a classic he said/she said dispute,” says Patrick Fraioli, an L.A. employment attorney, who’s not involved in the case. “If Rob Lowe is without fault, he’s got reason to fight to the bitter end – but in a trial, both sides will likely be dragged through the mud.”

On April 7, the Brothers & Sisters star wrote on the Huffington Post that “a former employee is demanding my wife, Sheryl, and I pay her 1.5 million dollars by the end of the week or she will accuse us both of a vicious laundry list of false terribles.”

Later that day, Lowe preemptively filed a lawsuit against Gibson, along with two other former employees, for breach of confidentiality agreements and spreading lies about the couple.

A hearing date has yet to be set. Allred said on Today that she is “looking forward to litigation.”

So the nanny wasn’t smart enough to use her cell phone to record Lowe sticking his hand down her pants? The dumb broad — she could have been shopping a sex tape.

What Others said:

  • Dlisted says, “First of all, is there only one f#cking lawyer in this country?”
  • The Superficial says, “Though somewhere in the middle is probably the truth which is that Rob Lowe touched himself and invited the nanny to watch – along with the neighbors, some Shriners and his Brothers & Sisters costar Sally Field, who would’ve loved to stopped by, but never knows what to bring to these things. A deli tray or is this more of a light dessert affair?”
  • Girls Talkin Smack says, “Lies lies, everywhere lies. Well you know with this one, the truth will definitely come out. It’s just a matter of WHEN.”

Christina Aguilera’s Mommy Boobs Fading

Christina Aguilera’s Mommy Boobs Fading

At this new much of the world’s population weeps. After giving birth to son Max, Christina Aguilera proudly sported her mommy knockers. Even Ellen was enamored with Christina’s boobs.

Alas, all good things must come to an end. The new mother has been making every effort to shed the baby weight. She has hit the boxing ring and the swimming pool in effort to regain her former physical stature. Even her baby-daddy joined her in the pool. Neighbors have been bitching about his skinny dipping adventures and noise.

quote1.jpg“They don’t just splash around – they laugh, scream, swear and make sexy noises. We’re happy that they’re happy, but we wish they would keep it down a bit. There are a lot of old people who live around here, and they don’t like noise after the dinner hour.”

Sexy noises!?! I can only imagine what their sexy noises are. I am sure it something similar to the sound a plunger makes in cartoons.

Cheers on the testicular fortitude of risking some very unpleasant road rash in effort to climb out of the water. Thank the speedo gods that Owen Wilson chose to cover his pasty white parts with a pair of modest trunks.

Jay Leno Gay Remarks

Critics are saying Jay Leno crossed the line when he interviewed Stop-Loss star Ryan Phillippe Thursday night.

[For those of you that don't want to watch the whole thing -- it all starts at approximately 2:00 minutes in]

Leno was chatting with Phillippe about his first role as a gay teen on the soap One Life to Live when he asked,

quote3.jpg“Can you give me, like – say that camera is your gay lover… Can you give me your ‘gayest look?’

Say that camera is Billy Bob – Billy Bob has just ridden in shirtless from Wyoming,”

Needless to say, Phillippe grew quite uncomfortable.

“Wow! That is so something I don’t want to do.”

Phillippe’s acting career began with an appearance in ABC daytime drama One Life to Live. His character Billy Douglas, whom he played from 1992 to 1993, was the first gay teenager in a daily soap opera, causing a stir.

GLAAD issued this statement today,

quote3.jpg“We are proud of Ryan for refusing to participate in Leno’s thoughtless attempt at humor.

Under the guise of comedy, the talk-show host is demonstrating a lack of respect for the gay community and insensitivity to both his co-workers and the audience, to whom he owes an apology.”

What others said:

  • Dlisted says, “If Jay cared so much about seeing Ryan’s “gay face” he should have just rented “54.” There’s Phillipe gay face galore!”
  • A Socialites Life says, “I’m guessing Leno wanted Ryan to make his “gayest look” towards him. And follow it up with some Astroglide. Jay strikes me as one of those guys who’s watching the next-door neighbor’s son mow the lawn shirtless next door and playing with himself from behind the blinds.”
  • TMZ says, “Unfortunately, Leno has yet to apologize for 16 years of unfunny opening monologues.”

Pauly Shore Countersues Wes Craven

Pauly Shore is suing neighbor Wes Craven for creating a nightmare on his property in a dispute between the two that began last year.

quote3.jpgShore claimed that a landslide on his Hollywood Hills property in December 2006 was caused by Craven’s failure to properly maintain vegetation and landscaping on a hillside on his property, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in Superior Court.

Pauly Shore Countersues Wes Craven - PhotoThe comedian also alleged that Craven, the director of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and the “Scream” series, did not eradicate rodents burrowing in the hill and made improvements on his property that “changed the geology, topography and drainage,” according to the lawsuit.

A call to Craven’s attorney Wednesday was not returned.

Shore’s allegations are part of a countersuit in response to a suit filed on behalf of Craven last June.

Craven alleged that Shore upgraded his home with a pool, spa, landscaping and other improvements that caused water to seep down a slope and damage his property.

Both suits seek unspecified damages and a judgment determining who should be held responsible.

This whole thing just seems completely ridiculous!

Britney Spears Boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib’s Wife

Adnan Ghalib‘s wife has come forward, denying any part in a rumored financial scam to snare Britney Spears.

Britney Spears Boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib’s Wife - PIC - 2Page Six reports,

AzLynn Berry, who is separated from the paparazzo now dating the faltering pop tart, has reportedly moved out of Los Angeles to escape the whirlwind of attention the all-consuming story has caused, and told Access Hollywood in a phone interview, “I was chased down the street by two men in a BMW.”

This is not the first time Britney has taken up with a someone’s man. Remember, her ex-husband and baby daddy Kevin Federline was involved withShar Jackson (who was actually expecting their second child together) when she stole him away from the Moesha star.

No stranger to cameras herself, Adnan’s 26-year-old wife is also, well … kinda hot. The Encino, Calif., resident finished second runner-up — out of 348 girls — in the National Face of Glamour Competition in 2006, and doesn’t exactly embarrass herself in the picture above.

Meanwhile, a neighbor is on record saying that Adnan and AzLynn “have an arrangement,” and AzLynn’s MySpace page says she’s “in a relationship,” so we’re not really sure what to think about all that.

Regardless of whether or not you believe that Adnan is out for Britney’s money, it appears that the sex is good.

The Daily Star is reporting,

quote1.jpgTHE ex lover of Britney Spears’s new boyfriend last night warned her: “Watch out – he’s wild.’’ Britney may hope Muslim Brummie Adnan Ghalib will be the devoted partner she needs to win back her kids.

But pretty brunette Nichole Grimes, 35, told how she thought she was the luckiest girl alive when the son of an Asian tailor asked her out.

Then her world fell apart as Adnan seduced her best mate behind her back. He went on to go through a new girlfriend every month. She said: “I should have known when he told me his favourite lesson was sex education.

10 Must See Movies of 2008 – Plus a Cloverfeild Monster Leak

Ordered by release date…

Cloverfield- January 18th

JJ Abrams brings a monster movie to theaters. A monster of epic porportions attacks New York City in Godzilla style. What the monster is a mystery. Below is a supposed photo of the monster that appears to be some sort of mutated whale that breathes fire. I am guessing it is a hoax, but how awesome would I be for finding this one for. That’s right, bask in the blogger glory.

10 Must See Movies of 2008 Plus a Cloverfeild Monster Leak

  • The Upside- The hype alone may be worth the price of a movie ticket.
    The Downside- The entire film is shot from the perspective of a video camera. All I can think of is the awful camera work of The Blair Witch Project.

Rambo-January 25th

Stallone shoots up the screen again in yet another Rambo. The plot is set in Thailand where a group of mercenaries and John Rambo try to infiltrate a Burmese village. The war filled trailer promises a fill of theatrical gore.

  • The Upside- It’s freaking Rambo people.
    The Downside- If there is such a thing as too much violence, this would be it. Then again…some might see that as an upside.

21- March 21st

Kevin Spacey brings us a hot way to appreciate math. It is based on a true story that involves some MIT college kids counting cards in Vegas. This is the math club I missed out on. The six students took several Vegas casinos for millions of dollars. If you are into books it came from the novel “Bringing Down the House.”

  • The Upside- Kevin Spacey, a plot that should fuel a great movie and a moral lesson.
    The Downside- It could really be overdone and corny depending on the talent.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian- May 16th

The Pevensie children return to Narnia to help out ol’ Aslan. What has only been one year to the kids has been 1300 years in Narnia. Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy help out a prettied up Prince Caspian regain the throne. It follows the film The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The 2004 wasn’t bad, but leaving things open to interpretation can hinder your views.

  • The Upside- The trailer was able to capture my attention and the books are a staple in many households. It looks to be a darker and intense view that echoes the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
    The Downside- That interpretation factor could ruin a movie. When you create film from something that holds a legendary quality it is easy to screw up.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull- May 22nd

10 Must See Movies of 2008 Plus a Cloverfeild Monster Leak

Harrison Ford teams up with up and coming Shia LaBeouf in the latest installment of the Indiana Jones films. The film is set in the Cold War of 1957 and Shia is rocking a pompadour. No trailers out there yet.

  • The Upside- Harrison Ford returns to the character of Jones after an 18 year hiatus. The Jones film hype speaks for itself.
    The Downside- That is a lot of hype to live up to. Sequels are hard to impress an audience with. Especially when 18 years of anticipation is behind it.

Sex and the City- May 30th

Sarah Jessica Parker brings sexy back in the film version on the HBO series. The series strayed into new realms that women have no fear to talk about in real life. Beyond love, relationships and men the four women became heroes to the modern day bored housewife. They freely talked about sex and cranked out some quotes that will not leave you.

“I will wear whatever and blow whomever I want as long as I can breathe and kneel.”

  • The Upside- The series was fearless, if the movie is the same way we are in for a treat.
    The Downside- Oh let me count the possible factors that could doom the film. So much has been leaked online it will be beyond predictable. The second factor….I fear it will be one of those things that ended on a high note, but they tried to squeeze one last dime from a concept that is stale.

The Happening- June 13th

10 Must See Movies of 2008 Plus a Cloverfeild Monster Leak

Yes that is a Friday the 13th release date. M. Night Shyamalan strikes again with another thriller. While the past few Night films have failed to impress the masses, this one is rumored to be a redemption. Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, John Leguizamo and Spencer Breslin star in the film that is already rated “R.”

  • The Upside- I would love to see M. Night get back into the swing of twisted thrillers that rival The Sixth Sense.
    The Downside- It could be a further disappointment that could be the final blow.

Batman: The Dark Knight- July 18th

The Dark Knight is probably the most anticipated films. Heath Ledger and Christian Bale star in the latest installment of the Batman films. The sequel features the ultimate villain, the Joker. When I heard Ledger was cast in the role I was disappointed. I kept picture this pretty boy in the Joker’s shoes giggling as he tried to thwart Bale. The trailer has redeemed my faith in the film. This version of the Joker is darker, better, more intense and believable as a psycho. Kudos to Heath for proving me wrong.

  • The Upside- Maggie Gyllenhaal replaced Katie Holmes’ dumbass damsel in distress.
    The Downside- Let me get back to you on that.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince- November 21st

halfblood.jpg

Harry Potter is one of those films that directors can easily screw up. (Ahem…Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban.) The last film of the series wasn’t bad and the director who was at the helm for returns again for the Half Blood Prince. My fingers are crossed for those Harry Potter fans who are so very dedicated to the books. Either way you can bet that this film will not fly under the radar.

  • The Upside- Harry Potter has become the new aged superhero that has started a following that is appealing to all ages. The books are beyond detailed, here’s hoping for some cinema magic.
    The Downside- If you haven’t read the books by the end of the this film you will be lost. So much has already been left out of the films that, personally, I feel are vital to understand the plot.

The Lovely Bones- Currently Rumored Release in Summer 2008

bones.jpg

Peter Jackson won my heart by not completely killing the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Here we have another novel based film that has a big budget. Ryan Gosling had the leading male role before age became a factor and Mark Wahlberg reportedly took his place. The story is from the perspective of a 14 year old girl who was raped and murdered by a neighbor. She tells the tale from heaven and shows the lives of those affected by her death.

  • The Upside- Great cast, great director and the material is of substance.
    The Downside- How freakin’ sad!

Anna Nicole Stalker Free and Procreating

Anna Nicole Stalker Free and Procreating

Mark Hatten has been freed. After spending time in jail for beating Anna Nicole’ neighbor back in 2000, Mark stood outside Hyde in all his tattooed glory with his skank. The two put on a disgusting show of affection and tongued each other like a couple of tigers bathing it’s young.

Anna Nicole Stalker Free and Procreating

In case you are failing to remember this nutcase, he was the creep who stalked Smith and made terrorist threats against her. He also claimed to have fathered Dannielynn and also been responsible for two other pregnancies that ended in miscarriages. This was reported from letters he sent to several media outlets. He scribbled school-girl notes to TMZ and Extra staking his claim in the frenzy over Anna’s death. Little hand drawn stars, smiley faces, peace signs and hearts adorned the letter that look like it came from the desk of an 8th grader.

Oh yes. This guy should totally be free to roam amongst the masses. Not at all creepy and probably doens’t have lampshades made out of human skin in his apartment.

Top 10 Most Shocking Hollywood Secrets

Somehow, Britney Spears losing her virginity at the age of 14… didn’t make the list.

Top 10 Most Shocking Hollywood Secrets - PIC

10. Reese Witherspoon

Reese’s brother was arrested for sexual battery

On October 5, 2002, Reese Witherspoon’s older brother, John, was arrested after he entered a Nashville neighbor’s home and tried to undress and kiss a woman while she slept. John, 34, pled guilty to lesser charges, and according to his attorney, he “took her word for it,” because he was drunk and blacked out on the night in question. Reese, 31, helped her brother after he finished his two years on probation by making him her personal assistant on the ironically titled film Our Family Trouble.

9. Gavin Rossdale

Gavin had a secret love child

In 2004, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, 42, were happily married and planning for a baby. But that October, Gwen got shocking news — Gavin’s 15-year-old goddaughter was actually his love child with former flame Pearl Lowe. “He stopped returning my calls,” Pearl says. DNA tests confirmed that Daisy Lowe was in fact his daughter. Gwen, 38, was said to be devastated, but soon after announced she was pregnant with her and Gavin’s baby Kingston, now 18 months. “You get through the rocky times,” Gwen has said.

8. Michelle Williams

Michelle’s dad faces tax evasion charges

Michelle Williams has been estranged from her father, Larry, since she was 15, but she’s still upset that the IRS charged the 64-year-old stock market trader with evading $1.5 million in taxes after he flew to Australia. “It’s a strange thing having one’s father locked up, but you get used to it,” Michelle, 27, says. When he was arrested in May 2006, it wasn’t lost on Michelle that her dad was detained in her ex Heath Ledger’s native country. “Of all places,” she says. “It’s like, could you pick somewhere else to be arrested?”

7. Woody Harrelson

Woody’s father was a convicted hit man

Woody Harrelson was only 7-years-old when his father, Charles, killed a Texas businessman and was put in jail. “I don’t feel he was much of a father,” says Woody. “He took no part in my upbringing.” Later, while Woody was attending college, his father was arrested again for the murder of a federal judge. Charles denied it and appealed to his son for support. “He was no saint,” says Woody, 46. “But I think he’s innocent of that killing.” Charles died in March while serving two life sentences.
