Web site has copiesof Diaz in sex video
If you think S & amp;M stands for sunshine and mirth when it comes to Cameron Diaz, we have a 12-year-old video for you.
Yep, Diaz's sweet girl-next-door image is taking a body blow this week with news that a Web site is flogging copies of a soft-core Abu Ghraib-style sex video starring a 19-year-old Diaz. According to the New York Daily News, the topless star is shown "joining a brunette in some 'Spartacus'-style role-playing with a grimacing guy in shackles and a loincloth." And according to the New York Post, she also "walks" a leather-masked man (the same one?) like a dog. (Now we know how Justin Timberlake feels.)
The Internet company, appropriately named Scandal-Inc., says the video was made by John Rutter, the same would-be Robert Mapplethorpe photography dude who's been accused of blackmailing Diaz to keep topless pictures of her out of the public eye. For his part, Rutter, who is out of jail on $25,000 bail, has filed a $10 million breach-of-contract and fraud lawsuit against Diaz. Scandal-Inc.'s rep tells the New York Daily News that Rutter has nothing to with the Web site.
Singer Bowie recuperatesafter emergency surgery
LONDON -- Musician David Bowie underwent an emergency angioplasty to open a blocked heart artery in Germany and is recuperating, his spokesman said today.
Doctors discovered the blockage after the 57-year-old Bowie sought treatment after performing in the German town of Scheesel on June 25, according to the spokesman, Julian Stockton.
A pinched nerve was initially cited as the cause of shoulder pain that forced Bowie to shorten a June 23 performance in Prague and eventually to cancel the remainder of a European tour.
Stockton did not specify the date of the procedure but said it was after the June 25 show. Bowie left the clinic in Hamburg, Germany, early this week and is with his family in New York. Stockton quoted Bowie as saying, "Can't wait to be fully recovered and get back to work again. I tell you what, though, I won't be writing a song about this one."
The British Bowie, who was born David Jones, gained stardom with his groundbreaking 1972 album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust."
Rose loses effort to stoprelease of early album
LOS ANGELES -- A federal judge has rejected a request by singer Axl Rose to stop an independent record label from releasing an album called "Hollywood Rose: The Roots of Guns N' Roses." Cleopatra Records had purchased the rights to some recordings of Hollywood Rose, which included Axl Rose and Jeffrey "Izzy Stradlin"' Isbell, who later formed Guns N' Roses.
Rose, also identified in court documents as William Bruce Bailey, and other GNR members Saul "Slash" Hudson and Michael "Duff" McKagan objected to the release of the album when they learned of its title. There was no telephone listing for Rose, and he couldn't be reached to comment Wednesday.
Cleopatra Records brought the case to court to determine its rights, and Rose and the others filed a counterclaim and also sought a preliminary injunction.
