That this downbeat issue of Rumours contains references to Rubina Ali's father; gossip columnists turning on Chris Pine; Moby's broken bones, Liam Gallagher retorting as best he can to Noel's comments; a deluded Nicolette Sheridan; and Lady GaGa's friggin' teacup.................That someone needs to tell me why I'm currently looking at Lorraine Keane presenting Xpose, especially since they've already replaced her image on the TV3 website with that of Karen Coster... That The Sun claims Chris Pine was "less than happy that co-star Simon Pegg - who plays Scotty - got more attention than him at London's Leceister Square on Monday"... A source said: "Chris was really annoyed because Simon got all the laughs at the premiere - both during the film and on the red carpet"... That the Sun's Gordan Smart continued: "The miffed Enterprise commander beamed himself straight back to his hotel after the screening, shunning the after-party at Skylon restaurant in Waterloo"... That, bizarrely enough, we can testify first hand that Chris Pine was a lovely sort, and was just F**KED from traveling from Sydney to Moscow, then Berlin, Paris, Rome and London in a matter of days to promote the film. He'd also been up since the wee hours to appear on GMTV and then had a day of junkets; then two hours answering banal questions on the red carpet... That he's not a machine... Zachary Quinto on the other hand, being half Irish, probably partied on for a fair whack longer... That Rubina Ali's father has now been arrested for trying to sell her to the highest bidder... That it's not all bad; a businessman from Qatar saw the news report and has offered to pay for her education. Abdul Rehman Vanoo told the Mumbai Mirror (nope, you can't escape the rags): "I have not seen Slumdog Millionaire, but I know it has won several Oscars. Three days ago, when I watched television reports about Rubina's father allegedly trying to sell her off, it disturbed me deeply. I have a young daughter, and I could not watch her suffer so much"... That Dave Grohl now has two daughters... That Moby's broken his ankle... That, of her carting around that teacup with her everywhere, Lady GaGa said: "My tea cup is so famous, I yelled at her today, I said, 'You're stealing my thunder, go to bed!' I like to take it everywhere because it makes me feel at home and now it's become a celebrity. I almost want to keep her at home because now it's a gimmick"... That the gimmickry extends beyond the delf... That Lindsay Lohan is thinking of leaving LA ('cause she keeps bumping into Samantha Ronson): "I like (London's) Notting Hill a lot. I also often stay with a friend in Chelsea. I’d move there tomorrow. I prefer London to New York. The people are less judgemental"... That, of Edie being killed off in Desperate Housewives, Nicolette Sheridan said it was: "a risky decision that could have devastating ramifications"... That, when aired in the states, the episode in which she died "attracted 1.3 million less viewers than the season average"... That, of yesterday's Noel's Nuggets, Liam Gallagher Twittered: "Is it that time of month again? LG"... That the father of Jade Goody's two sons, Jeff Brazier, arrived home from their trip to Australia to find his granddad, who had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, has committed suicide... That the 81-year-old was found by Jeff's mother "in his garden - inside a tent which Bobby and Freddie used to play in when they visited him. A gun was found next to Mr Smith's body, and a suicide note was left on his kitchen table in Hornchurch, Essex... Friends revealed Mr Smith's wife died of cancer several years ago and he feared he would suffer like she had"... That a neighbour claimed the note read "I can't take these tumours any more. Don't tell Jeff, let him continue the holiday in Australia. I'm sorry"... The sooner this side of the world starts opening their minds to euthanasia, the better. It doesn't have to be like this...
