Nick Gordon arrested for speeding

Whitney Houston's 'adopted' son Nick Gordon was taken into custody in Alpharetta, Georgia on Wednesday (28.11.12) after being caught speeding through the town.

Nick Gordon has been arrested for speeding and reckless driving.

The 'adopted' son of Whitney Houston, who recently called off his engagement to Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, was taken into custody in Alpharetta, Georgia on Wednesday (28.11.12) after being caught speeding through the town.

A law enforcement source told gossip website TMZ: ''We are fortunate because that's such a busy corridor with high end retail shopping restaurants and pedestrians at crosswalks.''

''At that speed, it's absolutely reckless.''

Nick's arrest came hours after Bobbi Kristina lost control of her Chevy Camaro when leaving her apartment complex and drove down an embankment before coming to a stop on a local park trail.

She was cited by police for ''failure to maintain lane''.

This is Bobbi's third crash in recent months. Earlier this month she accidentally struck Nick's Camaro with her own vehicle in the parking garage of the apartment complex, causing severe damage to the front of his sports car.

Bobbi had followed Nick back to their apartment in her own Camaro and as she tried to back into the parking space next to his, she struck his vehicle.

Just weeks earlier Bobbi Kristina, 19 and 22-year-old Nick were involved in another crash that damaged his car.

The couple had been arguing at the time of the collision - which destroyed the entire front end of the vehicle - and Nick's Camaro was the only car involved. No one was injured.

After the accident, the car was left without a front bumper and right front tire, and the airbags were deployed, but it somehow got back to the former couple's home.

Rihanna Scores First U.s. Album Chart Number One And Doubles Up With Diamonds

Rihanna has completed her first chart double in the U.S. by rocketing to the top of the album countdown for the first time.

Fans rushed out to pick up Unapologetic last week (beg19Nov12) and sent the new release to number one on the Billboard 200 countdown with 238,000 sales.

The album is the prolific R&B star's seventh since her 2005 debut.

The feat means the Bajan beauty reigns as the queen of both the album and singles chart in America - her hit Diamonds has scored a second week at number one on the Hot 100.

She becomes the second artist this year to land number ones on both main Billboard charts this year (12) - Adele managed the feat over three weeks in February (12) with the hit album 21 and her song Set Fire to the Rain.

Rihanna celebrated her album success early, on Tuesday night (27Nov12), by tweeting the big news to fans.

She wrote, "Wait!!!!! What the F**K?!!!! #Unapologetic just debuted at #1 in America!!!!! My first number 1 album there!!! Thank you Navy (fans), u deserve it... I'm legit crying like a p**sy right now!!"

Taylor Swift's Red stays put at two on the new Billboard 200 chart, while One Direction's Take Me Home, which debuted at number one last week (ends23Nov12), falls to three.

American Idol winner Phillip Phillips scores a top five with his first album The World From the Side of the Moon, which enters the countdown at four and Kid Rock lands his seventh top 10 album as Rebel Soul debuts at five.

Meanwhile, Ke$ha's Die Young jumps up a spot to two on the new Hot 100 singles chart, while Maroon 5's former nine-week number one, One More Night, drops another spot to three.

Steven Tyler Apologises To Nicki Minaj Over Idol Fuss

Rocker Steven Tyler has issued a public apology to Nicki Minaj after the rapper accused him of making a racist comment about her judging abilities as a new panellist on reality show American Idol.

The Aerosmith frontman, who stepped down as a judge on the show earlier this year (12), sparked a Twitter.com feud with Minaj earlier this week (26Nov12) when he suggested the Starships hitmaker would not be able to spot the next great artist if he showed up on stage in front of her.

He tweeted, "If it was Bob Dylan, Nicki Minaj would have had him sent to the cornfield. Whereas, if it was Bob Dylan with us, we would have brought the best of him out."

Minaj, who joined fellow new additions Mariah Carey and Keith Urban on the judging panel when Tyler and Jennifer Lopez quit the show this summer (12), promptly fired back at the ageing rocker's criticisms.

She raged, "Steven Tyler said I would have sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield??? Steven, you haven't seen me judge one single solitary contestant yet! You assume that I wouldn't have liked Bob Dylan??? Why? Black? Rapper? What? Go f**k yourself and worry about yourself babe.

"I understand you really wanted to keep your job, but take that up with the producers. I haven't done anything to you. That's a racist comment."

Tyler insists his comments have been misconstrued - because he never intended to insult Minaj.

During an appearance on Canadian entertainment show eTalk on Tuesday (27Nov12), he said, "I apologise if it was taken wrong, Nicki. But I am the farthest from (being a racist). I am the last thing on this planet as far as being a racist."

He added, "I don't know where she got that out of me saying I'm not sure how she would've judged Bob Dylan. Maybe I spoke out of turn, but a racist I'm not, Nicki."

Lindsay Lohan Slapped With New Charges Over Los Angeles Car Crash

Lindsay Lohan's legal troubles are continuing to mount - the actress has been slapped with four charges relating to a Los Angeles car crash back in June (12).

The Mean Girls star was on her way to work on the set of her Elizabeth Taylor Tv biopic, Liz & DICk, when her hired Porsche collided with a truck on the Pacific Coast Highway, totalling the sports vehicle.

She escaped with only minor injuries and subsequently blamed a mechanical fault with her brakes for the accident, after allegedly telling police her assistant had been the one driving at the time of the incident.

Lohan is now facing more jail time - on Thursday (29Nov12), the Santa Monica City Attorney charged the actress with four crimes, including giving false information to a police officer, obstructing or resisting a police officer in the performance of his duty and reckless driving.

According to Tmz.com, the troubled star will be arraigned when she returns to Los Angeles from New York. A judge is expected to revoke her probation related to her 2011 necklace theft conviction.

Thursday started out as a really bad day for Lohan - the 26 year old was arrested in the early hours amid allegations she punched Tiffany Eve Mitchell during an altercation in a Big Apple nightclub. She was booked on a third-degree misdemeanour assault charge and has since been released from custody and ordered to attend a court hearing on 11 January (13).

It was the latest incident in a drama-filled year for Lohan - she was arrested in September (12) when a pedestrian claimed she hit him with her car, and she suffered another legal incident at a Manhattan hotel days later when she accused a man of assaulting her.

The hit-and-run case against Lohan was dropped due to insufficient evidence, and charges against her alleged hotel attacker were also dismissed.

Lohan is on probation from last year's (11) jewellery theft until May, 2014.

Jude Law not a 'young pretty thing' anymore

'Anna Karenina' actor Jude Law is glad he has moved away from heartthrob roles and is now not considered a ''young pretty thing''.

Jude Law is happy to not be a ''young pretty thing'' anymore.

The 39-year-old actor made his name in a string of heartthrob roles, including lead parts in 'Alfie', 'Sleuth' and 'The Holiday', but he took on a different part for him in 'Anna Karenina' - in which he plays Keira Knightley's ageing husband.

But rather than worry about his advancing years, Jude is relieved to have reached a level of maturity which is opening up new artistic opportunities for him.

In an interview with T magazine - the New York Times Style supplement - he said: ''In a weird way, it's kind of a relief to think, 'Oh, I know I'm not that young sort of pretty thing anymore.'

The 'Sherlock Holmes' star - father to Rafferty, 16, Iris, 12, and Rudy, 10, with ex-wife Sadie Frost and Sophia, three, with model Samantha Burke - now even thinks of himself as a heartthrob in the past tense.

He said: ''It's quite nice talking about what it was like to be the young pretty thing, rather than being it.''

Jude plays balding Alexei Karenin in Oscar-tipped 'Anna Karenina' opposite Keira, 27, as his wife who embarks on a scandalous affair with Count Vronsky, played by the considerably younger Aaron Johnson, 22.

Jude even volunteered to cut his hair for role so it would look completely realistic, much to the surprise of co-star Keira.

She said: ''I was surprised when he chose to actually cut his hair that way and not just wear a wig.''

Kourtney Kardashian stroked an alligator

Kourtney Kardashian got to touch a baby alligator during a day trip with her son Mason to the Miami Museum of Science.

Kourtney Kardashian got to touch a baby alligator at the Miami Museum of Science.

The reality TV star and her friend, 'The Real Housewives of Miami' star Larsa Pippen, took their children to the museum on a day out recently, and she was impressed by the facilities and the up close encounters she could have with the animals.

She wrote on her blog: ''Larsa and I took the kids to the Miami Museum of Science and Planetarium. I loved how clean, quiet, calm and cool this museum was! I highly recommend it.

''It was very modern and was very different than other museums I have been to.

''They had a baby alligator that we got to see up close and touch, little baby otters that were swimming, turtles, lots of space items, geckos and lots more. My favourite part was the astronaut ice cream that I stocked up on.''

While Kourtney, 33, was accompanied to the museum by her two-year-old son, Mason, her partner Scott Disick and their four-month-old daughter Penelope were not present.

However, the whole family were spotted at the beach a day or so later, with Scott sporting a strange fashion accessory, an eye patch.

Kourtney is currently in Miami filming the next season of her reality TV show 'Kourtney and Kim take Miami' with her sister.

'Boy Meets World' Evolution, Who's returning for 'Girl Meets World'?

Anyone that grew up in the '90s has been avidly following the developments of the Boy Meets World spin off series, 'Girl Meets World'. The premise is the return of Cory and Topanga with the added addition of their teenage daughter. The final series of Boy Meets World ended with their wedding and having felt they'd pushed the story as far as it could go for that time, after seven years, they chose to end on a high. Thirteen years on and the couple are returning, now with a daughter whose own escapades we'll be following when it returns in February next year.

As exciting as this is, we're all a little apprehensive as to whom will be returning from the old series. Obviously both Danielle Fishel, who played Topanga, and Ben Savage, who played Cory, will be back and they're pretty pivotal to the series. However, Rider Strong who played Shawn has said that, for now, he's not involved. In a statement for Entertainment Weekly he explained both his relationship with the show and whether he's returning for the spin off. "Boy Meets World was a defining aspect of my life, and I cherish those seven years. It was never just a job - on a personal level, many of my best memories and friendships were formed because of it," he said. "So I am extremely happy for Ben and Danielle to be able to continue the story. At this point, I have no official involvement in Girl Meets World... I think it should be it's own show. It will be about Cory and Topanga, their daughter, and a new set of characters. It's the next generation. And I, for one, can't wait to see it evolve." 

The theme of evolution was prevalent in Danielle Fishel's statement as well. "It will have familiar faces, familiar themes, and familiar messages.  It will also have new faces, new themes, and new messages... We started at the same place with BMW but we evolved and we evolved quickly.  For those of you who knew and loved BMW, please allow this show to evolve as well. Stick with us. Give us a chance." We will Danielle, we will. As yet there have been no word in regard to anyone else returning, although there have been some hints that there'll be a few appearances in the future there is no concrete word either way.
