Oh look - a guy who helped Madonna’s semi-illegal adoption go through is having his college tuition bankrolled by the publicity hound:

Madonna is reportedly paying the university tuition fees of a Malawian government official whose colleagues aided her in adopting baby David Banda last year. The singer is sponsoring civil servant Willard Manjolo at Swansea University in Wales, where he is studying for a degree in social work, writes British newspaper the Daily Mirror.

Madonna agreed to fund his studies in June, four months before she brought the one-year-old from Malawi to the UK - leading to speculation Manjolo could have used his position to influence the adoption process.

However, the 40-year-old dismisses the suggestion. He says, “The child is being given an opportunity.”

Yeah, that’s not a bribe or anything, to pay some guy’s tuition who can smooth your adoption process. Angelina would never do that.

Meanwhile Madonna is putting out another album this year, which will be a mix of genres and a blatant attempt to remain relevant.

Old nude pictures of Donald Trump’s 36 year-old wife, Yugoslavian model Melania Knaus, have surfaced. They’re not that shocking to me, but she is shown cuddling in a faux lesbian pose on a bed with another woman.

The Donald recently took away Ms. Nevada Katie’s Ree’s title in the Miss US pageant he owns after pictures came out of her kissing women and baring her boobs. (link NSFW) He gave the reining Miss USA, Tara Conner, a second chance for infractions that weren’t as well documented including underage drinking at NY-area bars, kissing her roommate Miss Teen USA, and sneaking men into her Trump Tower apartment. Conner went to rehab and will be allowed to keep her crown if she stays in line.

I wonder how Trump is going to handle these pictures, which bring the nudity and lesbian photos a little closer to home.

Trump was also voted “most annoying personality” of 2006 in a poll of AOL’s money and finance users.

Update: Word is that people have seen these pictures before, and that Trump has denied they’re Melania. It sure looks like her to me.

A 23 year-old model says she met Keith Urban at a Nashville bar in 2004 and was banging him up until the month before he married Nicole Kidman. She says they were so close she lived in his mansion briefly and that she met his family. Keith was constantly drunk and on various drugs including ecstasy and cocaine according to his supposed lover, who claims she’s talking to the press now to make it clear that she’s not a homewrecker.

The woman seems to be the reason Urban went into rehab this fall. She was spotted making out with him at a Nashville bar in October, and he checked into the Betty Ford clinic shortly afterwards. She won’t talk about that latest incident, but says that she was seeing Keith up until May, that he refused to talk about Nicole, and that he stopped returning her calls and got married to the famous movie star just a month afterwards:

Amanda Wyatt, a 23-year-old part-time model and self-professed “nobody”, last night revealed that Urban was unfaithful to his superstar wife throughout their courtship and engagement.

She says: “I feel sorry for Nicole. Keith cheated on her repeatedly with me, right up to just before they got married.

“He’s done it once and he will probably do it again.

“I know him as well as anyone and while he can be charming and loving, he is also someone who is constantly fighting his demons…

Amanda furnishes her story with intimate details only a lover could know.

She has Urban’s secret security code for his guard gate, she casually drops into conversation the name of his favourite cologne - Dolce & Gabbana - and says she cannot smell Shea Butter Body Wash without thinking of him.

Furthermore, Amanda, who is 16 years his junior and was just 21 when they met in 2004, admits she was surprised their relationship ever progressed further than a one-night stand - and says she never once pushed him for commitment.

She says: “I was a fan of Keith’s and longed to meet him.

“I was born and raised in Nashville and he was a star here long before the rest of the world heard about him through Nicole.

“I went to a bar called the Tin Roof one night and he was there.

“I was with a group of girlfriends and after a couple of drinks, on a dare, I went right up to him and said: ‘Hi Keith, I’m Amanda and I’m a big fan.’

“He just grinned. A couple of hours later I was so flattered when he came up and said: ‘You’re Amanda, right?’

“The next thing he said was: ‘Do you party?’…

“He had this big, beige-coloured hot tub and he lit scented candles and we’d take big bubble baths together.

“It was so romantic. The music would be playing low in the background and he loved to wash me, rub my feet and wash my hair.

“He told me he loved me. He was always telling me how I made him feel young, how I was sexy and beautiful. It was a real turn-on.”

Amanda says she and Urban were inseparable in the early part of their relationship, which continued until May 2006, less than a month before his wedding to Nicole Kidman.

She temporarily moved into the home he was then renting in the Brentwood suburb of Nashville and even met his parents, Bob and Marienne, who had arrived from Australia to spend the 2004 Thanksgiving holiday with their son.

But even more disturbing, perhaps, than Urban’s sexual infidelity to Nicole Kidman was Amanda’s insistence that Urban was constantly drunk and a heavy drug user throughout their long affair.

She added: “As I got to know him, it was clear he was a deeply troubled man.

“He drank constantly; his favourite was Crown Royal Reserve whisky. And he did drugs: Ecstasy, cocaine, pot - you name it…

“I took Ecstasy with him. His drug use was no secret.

It looks to me like Keith got back with Amanda briefly and then was whisked off to rehab and told her he could never contact her again. That pissed her off so much that she’s talk to the press about him.

Meanwhile Keith and Nicole were said to be planning a family Christmas together to coincide with Keith’s release from rehab. Nicole is said to have booked the largest suite in the Beverly Hills hotel and to have ordered a large Christmas tree for their reunion. This latest news is sure to put a damper on their plans.

I wonder how long it will be before Keith and Nicole split. It seems like Nicole will put on a brave botoxed face for as long as she can stand it so that she doesn’t look like a complete fool for having a failed relationship with a drug addict and cheater.

Here are pictures of the woman in question, courtesy of Splash News Online. She’s a buttaface, but would probably be gorgeous with a little surgery.

Britney Spears was just named the worst celebrity dog owner of 2006 after she abandoned her accessory chihuahuas after she had children. Considering that the world has yet to get a glimpse of her newest child, neglecting her pets seems to be the least of Britney’s worries. Paris Hilton came in a close second to Britney for similarly using animals as props.

Being a dimbat dog owner is much less damning than wearing fur, which kind of shows that you advocate killing animals needlessly. Using fur in a celebrity clothing line takes that arrogance one step further.

Now comes news that Puffy might be in hot water for using - get this - dog hair in his coat line. Best Week Ever reports that The Humane Society warns people that the “real raccoon” in Sean Jean winter coats might be made from raccoon dogs!

if you happen to be the proud owner of a Sean John puffy coat with “fur” trim, there’s a slight chance that fur is actually made from the skin of a dog. Or so says the Humane Society of the United States, who is claiming that Macy’s is selling the coats under the guise that it’s “imitation rabbit fur”, when the label inside the coat claims it to be “real raccoon” — and not the adorable rabid raccoons that scour your trash for last night’s dinner, but raccoon dogs… DOG FUR COATS!

So is Puff Daddy, who claims to be the designer behind Sean Jean, the Cruella Deville of the new century? The jury is still out, test results are not back yet, and we won’t know for sure for a few days. So we’re going to ask you, the readers, what you think. Go to the coat closet, reach your hand in, close your eyes, and feel that fur trim on the hood of your Sean John jacket… does it remind you a little bit of Sparky, your childhood Yorkie who went to “live on a farm” when you were 11? Because we smell a big controversy here, and it’s got wet dog stink smeared all over it.

I love how they tell you to feel the “fur,” because that gave me a little chill of disgust. I try not to sneer at old ladies in fur coats, but it’s hard not to judge.

If Puffy’s line is using actual dog hair, look for an “I didn’t know about it” statement soon. We’ll have to wait and see what those test results show.

Jennifer Lopez also uses real fur in her clothing line. Ashley Olsen, Madonna, and Beyonce have been spotted out in fur coats recently, which Nicole Richie topped PETAs worst-dressed list.

Going topless while on vacation is way cooler than flashing your vag on an average night out in LA. Moss has bared it for magazines before, so she probably won’t care that these pictures are out. The agency whose photographer snapped the picture, Flynet, claims that Moss has now broken up with troubled bad boy Pete Doherty.

Doherty is a suspicious figure in the death of a fellow party-goer last week. Doherty was seen arguing with the man, who fell from his death at some point from a second story balcony at the party. He avoided talking to the police that night and left the scene of the accident before they arrived. Doherty later went apeshit out at a pub and threw glasses and tables around. Police say he is not a suspect and that they have questioned him, but the man’s family say that they want to know the truth and do not consider the matter settled.

Maybe Kate has moved on with her life after this latest scandal, but that’s doubtful. She is staying in Jamaica at James Bond writer Ian Fleming’s former estate.

Media Take Out, an African-American entertainment site that has a lot of exclusives saying celebrities are gay, cheating, and/or involved in various scandals, claims to have official evidence proving that Beyonce is 32 years old. (Their current cover story involves a risque photo of what looks like Eve getting oral from another woman. It was supposedly taken qhile she was an exotic dancer. The picture is covered in the right places, but is still NSFW.)

Two months ago I ran an old video by Destiny’s Child in which Beyonce was supposedly 16. She didn’t look 16 to me, although commentors were kind of split as to whether she was older. Some people said it was the makeup that made her look more mature but others claimed it was a common practice in the entertainment industry and would not surprise them.

The evidence from Media Take Out is a blurry list of births from the Texas Department of Health dated 1974, which would make Beyonce 32, not 25. They say it’s an official birth record sent to them by a government worker in Texas. It’s labeled a statistics list and isn’t a birth certificate, but it could still be accurate:

December 5. Over the past few weeks, MediaTakeOut.com has received hundreds of emails from people asking us to confirm Beyonce’s true age. In an attempt to find the truth, we spoke with dozens of insiders - all of whom believed that Beyonce was being truthful about her age.

But yesterday MediaTakeOut.com received a tip that proved to be explosive. The tipster, who claimed to work for the Texas Department of Health, faxed over what appears to be Beyonce’s official birth records. The document (a portion of which is below) shows that a Beyonce Giselle Knowles was born to a Mathew Knowles and Celestine Ann Beyonce on September 4th, 1974. If this document is accurate, that would mean that Beyonce is actually 32 years old.

Beyonce’s official biography claims that she was born on September 4th, 1981. It also claims that her mothers maiden name is “Beyince”, and not “Beyonce” as the below document shows.

Beyonce’s parents are named Matthew and Tina Knowles, so if this is real it could be the proof that she’s older than 25.

Update: Thanks to commentor Betsy for pointing out that these documents are Photoshopped:

The Texas birth index also lists that Benjamin Wade knowles…the name above beyonce’s…was born in 1981, so the commenter above is correct that the year 1974 has been altered. everyone on that list…including the not famous ones, was born in 1981. nice try by MediaTakeOut. I assume their sounrce altered the document, but shame on them for not checking in out using the free resources easily available to anyone.
