NEW YORK – Two weeks after Taylor Hicks discussed his first crush as a young boy, the woman from his past has contacted People magazine.
The "American Idol" winner told People in a recent interview that he never forgot his first crush: "I was in the second grade; she was in the sixth." He added that ever since, he’s always liked older women.
After reading the article, the woman, Christy Lee Worsham, called People. She’s now married, and was surprised she had made such an impact on Hicks.
"He was such a fun kid," Worsham, 32, said. "I’m married. But I’d like to reconnect. He was like a brother to me."
Hicks, 29, was ranked as the "hottest bachelor" by People earlier this month. He then said he was on the lookout for another love interest: a mystery blond woman he briefly exchanged glances with on an airline flight.
A spokeswoman for People, who set up an e-mail and mailing address to help track her down, said Thursday there had been no luck yet.

I guess if she is 32, it is proof Taylor is 29?

Miami boycott called for Miami Vice |

Uh-oh, this bitchslap can’t be good for Universal’s remake of Miami Vice opening July 28th. A too-cool-for-the-room Miami magazine just wrote a feature entitled "Miami Vice Looks Like Shit" and is asking Miamians to "boycott this pile." Ignore Magazine — yes, that’s its name, and bills itself as a print and online youth culture and news publication – declares this a "deplorable, unneeded revision. Sorry Michael Mann, nobody wants to see this movie." And the mag seems to object to the flick "once again stereotyping our city’s image. At this point, we’d rather watch a documentary on The Opium Group directed by Uwe Bol." OK, I totally agree that any remake of that seminal ’80s TV show is just plain pathetic. Still, since every other Hollywood studio is devoid of creativity, why should Universal be any different?

Did anyone think it was going to be a good movie? I knew it was going to be a bomb as soon as it was announced.

Jacko’s accuser’s mother is a royal bitch |

The day Michael Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges, his teenage accuser, a cancer survivor, thought life couldn’t get any worse. "Why didn’t they believe me? I told the truth. Why didn’t they believe me?" the anguished boy cried when prosecutors broke the news to him by telephone. But in the year since the verdict June 13, 2005, the 16-year-old’s existence has sunk to an even lonelier hell. His mom has turned her back on him, blaming him for the courtroom loss, for the alleged abuse by the pop idol, even for welfare fraud charges filed against her, the Daily News has learned. "His mother barely speaks to him. She won’t cook for him. She treats him like dirt, and she won’t let him go to counseling to deal with the trauma. She blames him for the whole mess and says she wants to move on," said a source familiar with the boy’s plight. Living under an assumed name in Orange County, Calif., the boy is torn between hiding his past from the world and paying for it every time he walks through the door of his home. "Mentally, he’s really messed up right now. He never knows what verbal abuse will be thrown at him when he goes home," said the source. The 38-year-old mother, who has a documented history of mental problems and could not be reached for comment, often tells the boy it’s his fault the pop singer allegedly molested him, the source said. "She screams at him, ‘You allowed him to touch you! You allowed him to do it!’ And she blames him for not getting the jury to believe him," the source says. But several jurors on the case said it was the boy’s mom – with her rude finger snapping, pointing and irrational tirades on the witness stand – who rubbed them the wrong way and made them doubt the family’s credibility. Fueling the boy’s problems, his step-dad, Army Reserve Maj. Jay Jackson, was deployed to the Middle East last August while the mom was pregnant with her fifth child, a baby girl now several months old. The couple, who married in 2004, also has a 2-year-old son. "The mother has her new family now with Jay. Maybe she has no energy for her older kids from her first husband," said the source. When he testified at Jackson’s trial last year, the teen was playing high school football and making honor-roll grades, but this year his marks started slipping, the source said. "He has to work now. He rides his bike across town to his job [in a fast-food joint] and buys his own food. His mother won’t cook for him. It’s a terrible situation," said the source. The mom even blames the boy for the welfare fraud charges she is facing in Los Angeles County because her alleged $8,000 scheme was unearthed by investigators working for Michael Jackson during the criminal case. "Everything is his fault," the source said. The desperate boy recently reached out to a family friend, who is trying to intervene and get him help. The accuser’s younger brother, who still says he saw the pop star molesting his sleeping sibling in 2003, is "just plain angry at the world. He keeps saying, … ‘I saw him do it!’" the source said. "[The accuser] just keeps saying, ‘I wish I never met Michael Jackson. He ruined my life,’" said the source.

Billy Corgan and Courtney Love living togerther? |

Billy Corgan has moved in with Courtney Love, according to reports.
The pair, who have been friends for some time and are understood to be working on material for Courtney’s new solo album, are apparently sharing her Hollywood mansion.
However, it is unclear if the couple’s relationship is purely plutonic. Love commented: "Not many people know this, but Billy’s been living with me for the last four months. Billy has one wing, Frances [Bean–her teenage daughter with former husband Kurt Cobain] has another, and I have one."
Courtney’s new album has not yet been scheduled but is due out later this year, while Corgan is also thought to be working on new Smashing Pumpkins material.
