San Francisco police say they stopped a limo carrying John Karr after the one-time JonBenet Ramsey suspect was spotted wandering near a school and peering in a window! The AP reported this weekend: Police say the received a call from the Convent of the Sacred Heart school, where Karr worked briefly as a teacher’s aide in 2000. School employees told police the limo carrying Karr and two producers for ABC’s "Good Morning America," stopped near the school. Karr got out, strolled the sidewalk and approached the school’s door. Police say no laws were broken, but they did take the names of Karr and the producers.Karr was released from jail Thursday after Sonoma County authorities lost critical evidence in a five-year-old child pornography case against him and it was dismissed.
UPATE: ABC canceled the interview with Karr on Friday after he jumped out of the car at the school. "Our producers were quite disturbed by his behavior. No sweeps special. No interview."

Fidel Castro dying of cancer?
October 7th, 2006 under Unadmirable People. [ Comments: none ]

Ever since President Fidel Castro was sidelined for what was said to be abdominal surgery last July, Cuban officials have maintained that the country’s leader will return to his post. ‘’We will again have him leading the revolution,’’ said Foreign Minister Felipe Pérez Roque just two days ago, speaking at an outdoor rally to protest the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, according to the Communist Party daily newspaper Granma. But U.S. officials tell TIME that many in the U.S. government are now convinced that Castro, 80, has terminal cancer and will never return to power. "Certainly we have heard this, that this guy has terminal cancer," said one U.S. official. Of course, such intelligence reports could be wrong, and one official cautioned that definitive proof is nearly impossible for the U.S. to come by. Yet the fact that the Cuban government removed Castro from the public stage before his death could suggest that Castro and his would-be successors were aware of a terminal condition and wanted to gauge public reaction to his absence. "They got to see how people would react," says one U.S. official. "They have had a chance to see how things might work without out him functioning day-to-day." Contacted by Time, the Cuban government denied the imminent demise of its leader. One high ranking official said, "The United States Intelligence Services have been wrong for more than 47 years in their predictions not only in relation to the health of the Cuban President but also in all aspects regarding our country." He referred to Castro’s July 31 statement as the only definitive assessment of the President’s health. In it, Castro declared that surgery and treatment for intestinal bleeding "obliges me to spend several weeks in repose, away from my responsibilities and duties." Cuban sources say that preparations continue for a belated but elaborate celebration of Castro’s 80th birthday on Dec. 2.

Sienna Miller apologises to the city of Pittsburgh
October 6th, 2006 under Unadmirable People. [ Comments: none ]

I want to apologise for my comments which seem to have been misconstrued and taken out of context. I was referring to the fact that we are shooting almost all night shoots on this film and none of us have had an opportunity to fully explore the city. What I have seen of it is beautiful. I came once before to visit the Andy Warhol museum whilst researching a film and found both the city and it’s inhabitants warm and gracious. My father is from Meadville and is in town to show me round this weekend. I sincerely apologise and hope people realise that conversations can be easily manipulated in print.

October 6th, 2006 under Unadmirable People. [ Comments: none ]

Whale Rider star Keisha Castle-Hughes, 16, and her boyfriend, Bradley Hull, 19, are expecting their first child this spring, her rep tells PEOPLE. The two have been dating for three years. The actress first made waves playing the fiery Paikea in 2002’s Whale Rider – a role for which she received a Best Actress Oscar nomination. At 13, she was the youngest Best Actress nominee in history. "I thought I was still dreaming," she told PEOPLE about the honor at the time. Since Whale Rider, Castle-Hughes has taken few roles, though she did play the Queen of Naboo in 2005’s Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and will appear as Mary in the upcoming movie The Nativity Story co-starring Shohreh Aghdashloo.

To be honest I can’t believe People just wrote it like any other baby news story. This is not a pregnancy to glorify.

Busta Rhymes demands cancel gig
October 3rd, 2006 under Unadmirable People. [ Comments: none ]

Busta Rhymes has cancelled a gig in Sydney at the last minute after an apparent disagreement with promoters. Rhymes, whose real name is Trevor Tahiem Smith Jr, was due to perform at Sydney Entertainment Centre on Sunday (October 1). The promoters, PDA Touring, have claimed that their refusal of "outrageous demands on the eve of departure by Busta Rhymes’ management" resulted in the rapper’s cancellation. Although unconfirmed, reports are claiming that Rhymes demanded more money for the gig, business class flights for his whole entourage and five-star accommodation. The issue has been further clouded by reports that Rhymes had no intention of performing in Sydney. The rapper was confirmed to support Mariah Carey on her current tour, a jaunt which includes a gig in Oakland, California on October 2, reducing the likelihood of him making both gigs.

NME 

Wow! I would love to see the ryder for this gig.
