Bush Plans to Veto Iraq War

President Bush plans to veto legislation to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on Tuesday, but vowed to work with Democrats on the next step to craft a compromise supplemental spending bill that would be free of an Iraq pullout timetable.

"I made my position very clear, the Congress chose to ignore it, so I will veto the bill," Bush said in a press conference in the White House Rose Garden on Monday. "That's not to say that I'm not interested in their opinions Ñ I am. I look forward to working with members of both parties to get a bill that doesnÕt set artificial timetables and doesn't micromanage and get some money to our troops."

Senior White House officials told FOX News that Bush will veto the bill late Tuesday after he returns from a trip to Tampa, Fla., to visit the United States Central Command. The schedule is based on Congress delivering the legislation to his desk by then. The veto will not take place in a ceremony, but the president will make short remarks or release a statement.

DC Madam Sex Scandal Randall Tobias

Randall Tobias

Washington, DC - A scandal in Washington, DC forces Indiana's Randall Tobias out of the state department. Now the woman accused of being the "DC Madam" apologizes to Tobias for the incident. She faces charges of running a high-class call girl ring.

Referred to as the "DC Madam," Deborah Jeane Palfrey is now taking legal steps to compel former Bush appointee and Lilly CEO Randall Tobias to testify in her defense.

"Friday's admission by Mr. Tobias that he engaged in legal activity while a customer of my firm supports my position all along that I operated a sexual, albeit legal business," she said.

Palfrey apologized for outing Tobias, but not for what she terms her "high-end erotic fantasy service." In March she was indicted for running a prostitution ring.

Outside of a Washington courthouse Monday she told reporters, "Allow me to say how genuinely sorry I am for Mr. Tobias, his family and his friends. I unfortunately know firsthand the impact such a revelation can have upon one's life."

Tobias resigned his Deputy Secretary of State position a day after he reportedly told ABC News that he used Palfrey's escort service - Pamela Martin and Associates - for massages but not sex.

In his State Department position as the first director over U.S. Foreign Assistance, Tobias was an outspoken proponent of abstinence-based AIDS prevention.

Enjoy sex lose weight

IT could be the answer to many women's prayers - not to mention men's.
A wonder pill has been developed that not only boosts a female's sex drive, but helps her lose weight at the same time.

So far it has been tested only on shrews and monkeys, but scientists believe humans could be taking it within a decade.

British professor Robert Millar discovered the double benefit while developing a hormone to treat loss of libido, a problem that affects millions of women.

During tests on animals, he found that as well as displaying a greater keenness for sex, they also seemed less interested in food.

Female musk shrews -- a mouse-like mammal -- and marmosets were injected with the hormone and displayed classic mating behaviour.

In the shrews, this was shown by "rump presentation and tail wagging", while the monkeys began "tongue flicking and eyebrow raising", said the professor.

But the laboratory animals also ate significantly less than usual. In some cases their daily intake was cut by a third.

Prof Millar is working on reproducing the hormone in pill form, which could prove extremely profitable given the interest pharmaceutical companies have shown in enhancing libido.

Kim Kardashian Sex Tape Pays Off Big

Kim Kardashian once denied that her sex tape ever existed. Now the buxom brunette has reportedly cashed in on her wild times that were recorded on home video with then boyfriend Ray J to a reported tune of five million bucks. The tape, which Vivid paid a million dollars for, is now a bestseller in adult video stores and online markets. Vivid's co-chairman tells TMZ.com, "We are pleased that Kim has dropped her legal action against us, we met with her several times and finally reached a financial arrangement that we both feel is fair."

HOLLYWOOD - R&B star Ray J's ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian has settled her legal dispute with Vivid Entertainment over the release of her sex tape with the singer.

Vivid Entertainment, which paid $1 million to an unidentified source for the video, will hand over nearly $5 million to Kardashian and stop distributing the tape by the end of next month.

Kardashian filed a lawsuit against Vivid Entertainment in February, claiming the firm's intention to distribute the video violated her "right to privacy."

Vivid Entertainment's co-chairman tells Web site TMZ.com, "We are pleased that Kim has dropped her legal action against us. We met with her several times and finally reached a financial arrangement that we both feel is fair."

Bart Simpson nude scenes of a sexual nature

Bart Simpson will appear nude in the new 'Simpsons' movie. The world famous cartoon troublemaker will "flash his little part to the entire world" in a scene where he has to skateboard naked after accepting a dare from father Homer.

Surprisingly, it is not the first time Bart has bared all.

In 2002, Rolling Stone magazine published a picture showing a baby Bart naked. The image was a recreation of the front cover of Nirvana's classic album 'Nevermind', which featured a naked baby swimming after a dollar bill on a fish hook.

'The Simpsons' has a history of animated nudity with nakedness or scenes of a sexual nature featuring over 200 times since the show first aired as a series in 1989.

The hotly anticipated movie is set to be released in July 2007.

The 'Toxic' singer - who in the last few months has shaved her head, gone to rehab, fired her manager and battled with her father while trying to relaunch her pop career - has Allure and Vanity Fair magazines fighting over her.

A representative for Allure magazine said: "We would love to have Britney, but nothing is scheduled yet."

nude shoot in Mexico City

biggest nude shoot in Mexico City

U.S. photographer hopes for biggest nude shoot in Mexico City

American photographer Spencer Tunick said Sunday he was hoping to draw his largest crowd of nude people for a shoot next month in Mexico City's enormous Zocalo plaza.

Tunick, famous for photographing crowds of nude people around the world, said the May 6 shoot could be bigger than one he did in 2003 with 7,000 volunteer models in Barcelona, Spain.
"This could be my largest work ever," Tunick told a news conference. "We're really hoping that all eyes will be on Mexico City on May 6 because this could be ... bigger than Barcelona."

The historic Zocalo plaza measures about 21,000 square yards - the size of about five football fields - and can fit up to 85,000 people standing.

The Brooklyn, N.Y. artist said he had all the necessary permits and the surrounding streets would be closed to traffic for the morning shoot.
The square, in one form or another, has been at the heart of Mexico City since it was founded by the Aztecs in 1325. When the Spanish conquered the city in 1521, they demolished the Aztec temples and palaces around the plaza and gave it much of its present form.

Iraq War is Lost

Top Dem says Iraq 'war is lost'; What do you think?

Below is an excerpt from the press conference in which Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., made some controversial remarks about the conflict in Iraq, including a claim that "this war is lost."

Reid: As we've learned from reading the memoirs and press accounts and interviews following that war -- at the time there were 24,000 Americans killed in Vietnam -- President Johnson had to make a decision. The secretary of defense, the secretary of state and the president knew the war was not winnable.

But President Johnson did not want a war loss on his watch. And so he surged in Vietnam, sent tens of thousands of new troops to Vietnam. After the surge was over we added to the 24,000 dead Americans 34,000.

Now, I believe, myself, that the secretary of state, the secretary of defense -- and you have to make your own decision as to what the president knows -- that this war is lost and that the surge is not accomplishing anything, as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday.

Lindsay Lohan Lesbian affair

Lindsay Lohan Lesbian affair rumour spreads

Lindsay Lohan is rumoured to be having a lesbian affair.

The Mean Girls star - who is currently in Japan for a fashion shoot - is said to be more than just friends with DJ Samantha Ronson, who has accompanied her on her trip.

Former publicist Jonathan Jaxson wrote in his blog at jonathanjaxson.blogspot.com: "Lindsay actually has always been quite open. Maybe she was tired of the boys and that is why she decided to spice it up with BFF (best friend forever) Samantha Ronson.

"Now I would have no bad things to say about either if Samantha wasn't deeply involved in alcohol and drugs. Not the best influence for a rehabbed Lindsay Lohan."

Jaxson claims Lindsay and Samantha's fledgling same-sex romance has been confirmed by his sources.

Lindsay, 20, arrives in London next month to begin shooting The Best Time of Our Lives - a biopic about the love life of poet Dylan Thomas - alongside Keira Knightley.

Jenna Jameson Porn Movie Star

Jenna Jameson cancer scare

Gossip
Jenna Jameson cancer scare
Adult film actress, Jenna Jameson has revealed her secret battle with skin cancer caused her to lose her baby.
Jenna Jameson, the world's most famous adult movie star - was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2004 and was two-months pregnant at the time. Jameson says she was shocked when the doctor discovered a misshapen mole that turned out to be malignant melanoma.
The next day, Jenna suffered a miscarriage - which doctors believe was brought on by the stress of learning she had cancer.
The star told Us Weekly magazine: "If the pregnancy would have lasted, I wouldn't have had the surgery. So it was all in God's plan."
Since having surgery the actress has been cancer-free.

Posing Nude Gives Model Self Confidence

She is a student, an actress and a barista. She is 22 years old, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, has blue eyes and shoulder-length hair.
And she doesn't mind being nude in front of people.

Meredith Wachter, a senior theater performance major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, was looking for employment in the fall, flipping through the newspaper.
"Hey, you could be an art model!" her roommate said. She laughed and rolled her eyes.
Now, she has been modeling for a life drawing class at UNL for two semesters - about 10 times total.

"It was pretty nerve-rackingthe first time I went," Wachter said. "I'm a free person, pretty liberal, but I'm not about to run around naked."
While modeling, she pretended as if she were just a head, "a little face" - and nothing else. She still barely ever looks down when posing.
"It was really surreal," she said. "I couldn't believe I was standing in the middle of the room naked and everybody was just drawing."
"She made sure I was completely comfortable," Wachter said. "Things like putting on music that I liked or even putting a space heater next to you so that you don't get cold."
"Students (enrolled in the class) might be uncomfortable at first," said Michael Burton, the life drawing instructor this semester. "People get adjusted and get very objective toward the model."

Nadine Coyle Ulster pop princess

Ulster pop princess Nadine Coyle has been named 27th in a list of the Sexiest Women in the World.

The Girls Aloud pop star, who hails from Londonderry, came in below fellow band members Cheryl Tweedy (7) and Sarah Harding (17).

But Nadine, who recently split from Desperate Housewives heart-throb Jesse Metcalfe, can take comfort from the fact that she was placed higher than Carmen Electra, Halle Berry, the OC's Rachel Bilson and Jennifer Aniston.

US actress Jessica Alba was crowned the Sexiest Woman in the World.

Jessica Alba the worlds sexiest

Jessica Alba has been named the sexiest woman in the world.

The Sin City beauty topped British men's magazine FHM's annual 100 Sexiest Women in the World list.

FHM editor, Chris Bell, said: "She's a talented, successful and beautiful actress who clearly has sex appeal that translates worldwide."

Alba, 25, saw off stiff competition from British glamour model Keeley Hazell and 'Desperate Housewives' star Eva Longoria, who claimed second and third place respectively.

Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima came fourth, Scarlett Johansson fifth, while Angelina Jolie finished in eighth position.

24 actress Elisha Cuthbert rounded off the top 10.

American Idol Boring Without Sanjaya Malakar

American Idol's former contestant, Sanjaya Malakar, has only been gone a week. It's only been seven days since Sanjaya Malakar sang his final notes on the American Idol stage.

According to a new poll by our friends at Usmagazine, nearly a third think the show is just boring without Sanjaya.

He made his appearance on CBS The 'Late Show' with David Letterman Monday night where the young, aspiring singer voiced a Top 10 list of "Things I Learned From American Idol."

According to the AP, the list included: 'nothing; the camera adds 10 pounds to your mohawk; work hard and make sacrifices, you can finish in seventh place; voting for yourself 100 times an hour causes some wicked carpal tunnel; and America loves performers with bad hair -- right, Dave?'

Sanjaya also made an appearance on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' on Monday

But like Us Magazine points out, we are all sensing that the show just isn't going to be the same without Malakar's ridiculous sense of style, questionable singing talent and endearing personality.

Sanjaya Mother Drugs Scandal

She was imprisoned two years ago...

Ex American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar was hiding a secret during his time on the show: his mother was sent to prison for running a marijuana growing operation.
The National Enquirer has unearthed legal records that show Jillian Blyth was arrested in Pierce County, in 2005 after police discovered the operation, which was taking place out of her garage.

According to the documents neighbors reported smelling marijuana and noticed a large vent on the garage roof, and alerted police. Cops discovered 310 marijuana plants, and growing lights.
When they asked SanjayaÕs then 17 year old sister Shyamali of her whereabouts, she told officers that her mother was at another location in Washington, when the police got there, they found a second marijuana-growing operation.

Blyth pleaded guilty to one felony count of unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance. She faced up to five years behind bars, but was sentenced to just 30 days.

"She's very lucky," said a local law enforcement source. "The judge obviously went easy on her because of her kids and the fact that she had no prior record."

So Boring Victoria Beckham

TV crew fed up with Posh's behaviour

Victoria Beckham has reportedly infuriated staff working on the reality TV programme that is following her and David as they prepare to move to LA.

It has been reported that the former Spice Girl has displayed 'rude and arrogant behaviour' as she goes about the business of settling herself in the US.

A show insider told Britain's Star magazine: "We think she's full of herself and not very nice. She's very picky, demanding and rude. And she was mean to the assistants, too.

"She waltzes around with her icy attitude. People will walk up to her and say, 'Welcome to America', or, 'Good luck with the move', and she doesn't even stop to talk to them.

"The show is designed to make her a star in the States, but she's dreaming if she thinks that's going to happen. She's coming off as a grade-A bitch!"

It is also alleged the show's producers are worried the series will be boring and a major flop.

The source added: "No one knows what to do with her to make the show interesting - she's so boring! "

Kirsten Dunst Boob Job

There aren't many jobs out there that require bigger boobs.

But Kirsten Dunst says that Spider-Man 3 was one of them.

She's revealed that the cleavage she sports in the film isn't all her own...

Kirst told The Sun:

"I had to wear a padded bra on this movie, but I get it. It's OK, it's part of the thing.

"I didn't feel like it was sexist or anything. I embraced my Mary Jane boobs!

"I know that her boobs are usually enhanced on the action figure toys as well."

As long as you're cool with it Kirst, that's all that matters.

Jessica Simpson & Britney Spears Sex Lives

There's nothing like the sex question for young starlets. Before Jessica Simpson found love with rocker John Mayer, constant speculation was slammed at her about who exactly she was sleeping with. Britney Spears has been linked with guys at rehab on tennis courts and has her secrets have been spilled by former lovers Jason Alexander and Isaac Cohen. It seems like very little is secret for Britney thanks to her exes.

Jessica Simpson & Britney Spears Sex Lives Questioned by Portman

But that wasn't always the case for the two pop singers. In their younger days part of their routine when slammed with reports and questions like 'who are you sleeping with now' surfaced there were always denials.

***

Now when Natalie Portman gets the same type of queries she says she is stunned. According to a report from MSNBC's 'The Scoop' the gorgeous actress politely told a reporter it was none of his business if she was dating her ÒGoyaÕs GhostsÓ co-star, Gael Garcia Bernal.

Jeannette Walls notes that the 25-year-old actress added she was always shocked when reporters asked her when she was in her late teens if she was a virgin. ÒRemember there was that time when Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson were proclaiming their virginity,Ó Portman told the London Guardian. ÒI was like, ÔAre you kidding?ÕÓ

Porn Star Against Porn Tax

State Ready to Debate Issue

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The adult entertainment impact fund sponsored by Whittier Democratic Assemblyman Charles Calderon would raise tax money from adult media and live shows.

But the plan is already generating opposition.

Porn star Mary Carey, who ran for governor in 2003, was back at the Capitol on Monday trying to stop the porn tax bill.

The $3-billion industry in California employs 50,000 workers.

Carey said it would be just another tax driving away business.

"People are just going to get it from other places," Carey said. "If there is a tax here, they'll just order more online or from other countries and that's not going to benefit California in any way."

Caldron said the tax is not about morals but a way to help balance the state budget.

Taliban Bin Laden planned Cheney attack

CAIRO, Egypt - A top Taliban commander said al-Qaida leader
Osama bin Laden was behind the February attack outside the U.S. military base in Bagram,
Afghanistan, during the visit there by Vice President
Dick Cheney, according to an interview shown Wednesday by Arab broadcaster Al-Jazeera.

Bin Laden planned and supervised the attack that killed 23 people outside the base during Cheney's visit, said Mullah Dadullah, the Taliban's main military commander in southern Afghanistan who has had close associations with al-Qaida.

"You may remember the martyr operation inside the Bagram base, which targeted a senior U.S. official. ... That operation was the result of his wise planning. He (bin Laden) planned that operation and guided us through it. The operation was a success," Dadullah told Al-Jazeera.

He did not say how he knew that bin Laden planned the attack, and it was not immediately clear when the interview took place.

Bush Twisted propaganda lies of Iraq

Pat Tillman gave up a $4.8 million football contract to serve in Iraq.

Truth, it is famously said, is the first casualty of war.

And thus it has been for two of the most celebrated official heroes of America's campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan.

One was Pat Tillman, the pro-football star who gave up the NFL's riches to serve, and ultimately die for, his country.

The other was a blonde teenage girl from West Virginia whose capture and rescue in the early days of the Iraq conflict inspired the TV drama-documentary 'Saving Jessica Lynch.' Now however the two stories have returned to haunt the Pentagon.

Both stand revealed as propaganda operations in which the truth was deliberately distorted to inspire a country and allay public doubts about the righteousness of the cause.

For the US military they have become a colossal embarrassment; for gleeful Democrats they are another stick with which to beat an already battered administration.

Britney Spears diet of alcohol and junk food

A strict regimen of diet and exercise has enabled the recently rehabbed pop star to shed 14 lbs and acquire a svelte figure to go with her comeback ambitions.

After having bloated to size 14 on a diet of alcohol and junk food, following her separation from Kevin Federline late last year, Britney has now dropped back to size 10 and eventually hopes to fit size 6.

She has achieved the amazing turnaround by adopting healthy eating habits that she learnt about during her stint at Promises rehab and regular rigorous exercise, reports Mirror.

Britney has now committed herself to a low calorie low fat diet with plenty of green vegetables and fruits. She has cut back on carbs and is instead eating lots of low-fat protein.

Having dried out completely she doesn't crave junk food anymore. Instead of pizzas and burgers Britney is regularly consuming fish. She has been eating Sushi regularly and reportedly takes fish-oil supplement three times a day.

Playboy model Holly Madison naked

You might see Playboy model Holly Madison, star of The Girls Next Door, wearing bunny ears, but one thing you'll never see her in is bunny fur-or any animal's fur, for that matter.

Hugh Hefner's number one honey bunny-who shares both Hef and his home, the Playboy Mansion, with fellow Girls Next Door stars Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson in the popular E! Channel reality show-is so passionate about saving animals killed for their fur that the blond bombshell bared her bunny tail alongside the tagline "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur."

It's no wonder that this "mistress of the Mansion pooches"-who adores all animals, especially the nine lucky pups currently bunking with the trio of buxom beauties-was outraged when we told her that animals, including cats and dogs, are kept in tiny cages and strangled, beaten, electrocuted, and often skinned alive for their fur. As Holly knows, nice girls-and guys, too!-always fake it. With so many beautiful and warm faux furs available, there's no reason-or excuse-to kill animals for their fur.

The Simpsons ride Universal parks

"The Simpsons" are coming to Universal Studios' theme parks in Hollywood and Orlando next spring.

The long-running series, which hits the big screen on July 27, is morphing into a ride that will incorporate Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson along with other characters.

"The ride is designed to duplicate the 'Simpsons' home-viewing experience, only at high speed and with lots of screaming," creator Matt Groening said in a statement.

The series, in its 18th season, will air its 400th episode on May 20.

Sanjaya -I'm not just a musician

Sanjaya Malakar is so famous, he can't walk anywhere without getting noticed.

"It's really weird. I mean, I'm just Sanjaya from Seattle," the 17-year-old "American Idol" cast-off said Monday on "Live With Regis and Kelly.""It's paparazzi (who) get at you," he said, "and fans come up and try to give you hugs and get autographs. I would love to just be able to hug everyone and give autographs and take pictures, but you can't."

Malakar was voted off the Fox talent competition last week after a long and unlikely run in which he outlasted better singers and captivated millions of TV viewers with his goofy charm and ever-changing hairdos.
He wants to be a triple threat: singer, actor and model.

"Like, I really -- what I want to do is experience the whole entertainment business because, I mean, I'm not just a musician, I'm an entertainer," Malakar said.
Fresh off "American Idol," the lanky teen/media It Boy is in demand. Another stop on his post-show publicity tour was David Letterman's "Late Show" on CBS, where Malakar was to read the "Top Ten" list Monday night.

On Saturday, he attended a White House correspondents' dinner in Washington as a guest of People magazine.
"It was really weird because the governor of New York came up to me and said, `I'm a fan, I vote,'" Malakar said.
"That's fantastic," said Kelly Ripa, co-host of the syndicated daytime talk show."It was really weird," Malakar said.

Stone Goes to War with Bush on Iraq

Oliver Stone gets busy with anti-war TV ad campaign

Stone to take Bush on directly

Oliver Stone is taking on an active new role in the anti-Iraq war movement with plans to direct an emotionally powerful TV ad showing Iraq vets and their families do not all support the war.

Stone has partnered with MoveOn.org and Votevets.org to direct a TV commercial featuring Iraq war veterans aimed at bringing home the troops. As a veteran on the Vietnam War where he received the Purple Heart during his service, Stone has always used his creative voice to reflect upon social and political issues as in the movies ÒNixon,Ó and ÒJFK,Ó however with this new commercial Stone is taking an active role in influencing the present.

In the face of BushÕs controversial decision to surge in Iraq by adding another 28,000 troops, Stone will give Iraq veterans a voice of dissent. ÒWe have leaders in Washington who say theyÕre Õsupporting our troopsÕ Ñ but the people who suffer most from their policies are the troops themselves,Ó Stone said in a statement Thursday.

Wife Knew He Was Gay

Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey's wife, Matos McGreevey, apparently knew that her husband was gay well before he made it public in a press conference in August 2004, according to a report published today in the New York Post.

Until now both McGreeveys have maintained that Matos found out about her husband's sexual orientation the same day he announced it to the press in a press conference. But according to several anonymous sources in the New York Post, Matos was aware of the fact that her husband was gay before his public announcement.

McGreevey left office in November 2004 after he admitted to having an affair with a male employee. Matos filed for divorce in February 2005, and a fight for custody and visitation rights for their 5-year-old daughter Jacqueline ensued.

President Bush In Denial On Iraq

"The military mission has long since been accomplished. The failure has been political. It has been policy. It has been presidential." Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday that President Bush is in "denial" and alone in believing things are getting better in Iraq, reports CBS News correspondent Bob Fuss

Reid said the Democratic-controlled Congress will defy White House veto threats and pass legislation within days requiring the start of a troop withdrawal from Iraq by Oct. 1.The legislation also sets a goal of a complete pullout by April 1, 2008, he said.

Reid spoke a few hours after Mr. Bush said he will reject any legislation along the lines of what Democrats will pass. "I will strongly reject an artificial timetable (for) withdrawal and/or Washington politicians trying to tell those who wear the uniform how to do their job," the president said.

Reid said Mr. Bush was in "a state of denial" over the war, and likened him to another commander in chief four decades ago. "I remember when President Johnson, trying to save his political legacy, initiated the first of many surges into Vietnam in 1965," he said.

Lindsay Lohan MySpace Account Hacked

Private Emails Emerge

lindsay.JPG

I cannot,and I repeat NOT, emphasize enough how much young Hollywood resembles junior high. If it werenÕt so incredibly pathetic and deeply sad, it would be hilarious.

It seems that a hacker got into the MySpace account for Lindsay Lohan and had access to pictures, old messages and email exchanges between Lindsay, Shanna Moakler, Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos. Just Jared has the released screen shots, and it seems that ONTD broke the story yesterday (and doesnÕt appreciate people not crediting them, thank you very much!). JJ says there are more to come, stay tuned. I canÕt freaking wait.

There are some rather boring, but telling exchanges between Lindsay and Shanna Moakler which seemed to be taking place at the time when ShannaÕs estranged husband, Travis Barker and she, were attempting to repair their relationship. But the gem in the tiara of bitchiness was the exchange between Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan about blogger Perez Hilton and his clearly biased relationship with the heiress-turned-professional celebrity.
