An Unlikely Pair: Pic of the Day
Viva Espana!
"It is to me the most important day in Spanish football in many, many years," says player Fernando Torres who scored the winning goal in the 33rd minute of the game. The game was played in front of a crowd of 51,428 fans, almost equally split down the middle in terms of Germany fans and Spain supporters.
Amy Winehouse Punches Fan
The troubled singer was performing at the Glastonbury Festival in front of 80,000, when she punched a spectator in the first row during "Rehab."
She had stepped down into the pit during the performance. After lashing out at the fan, she was gently escorted back to the stage by security staff.
Winehouse got violent because someone grabbed her breasts, said concert organizer Michael Eavis.
Her appearance at the festival seemed doubtful after she was hospitalized for collapsing in her London home earlier this month.
In newspaper interviews published last weekend, Mitch Winehouse, the singer's father, said his daughter had damaged her lungs and developed early-stage emphysema as a consequence of allegedly smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes.
The performance was part of Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday celebration. Winehouse was just one of many stars performing at the event.

Rose McGowan to play Red Sonja
In the film, the She-Devil with a Sword tries to exact vengeance on the people who killed her family, but realizes she must use her superhero ways to save Hyrkania (modern-day Russia and Ukraine) from an evil sorcerer, as well.
It will be directed by Douglas Aarniokoski, who helms Highland: Endgame, Millennium Films and Nu Images announced Friday.
"This is an amazing property and film for our company," said studio executive Avi Lerner. "Working with the talented Robert Rodriguez, having Rose McGowan as Red Sonja and Douglas Aarniokoski directing is a fantastic combination. We could not be happier."
The film is expected to start filming in October, although the studio is still scouting locations in Michigan and other areas of the U.S.
The scale mail bikini-wearing heroine was first brought to life in the critically-panned 1985 B-movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brigitte Nielsen as the titular character.
It was a box office flop, grossing around $7 million in the box office, well below its $15 million budget.
"It's the worst film I have ever made," Schwarzenegger said later. "Now, when my kids get out of line, they're sent to their room and forced to watch Red Sonja ten times. I never have too much trouble with them."
It's a celebrity wedding weekend!
After hundreds of phone calls and text messages, I finally ended up asking one of the members of the Hanson group. He didn't want to get involved."

More Lohan Family Drama...
Daddy's got a big secret! This family just can't get any crazier, they are right up there with the Hogans these days! The father of Lindsay and Ali Lohan, Michael Lohan, has confirmed that he fathered an illegitimate while married to then wife, Dina Lohan.
The child is 13-years old. In a statement to OK! magazine, Michael says, "Years later [the woman he was messing with behind Dina's back] contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child."
This should be very interesting, keep a look out for how it develops! I wonder if this saga will play out on their E! reality show.

Flight attendant files lawsuit against J.Lo
Wilson alleged that Lopez's German shepherd guard dog was unruly, "attacking [Wilson] and biting her pant leg." She also said the attack caused her to fall, leading to back injuries that have prevented her from working.
The complaint says that "Prior to departure, the defendant Lopez warned the plaintiff about how she should behave around the guard dog." Wilson said that at the beginning of the flight, the dog, Floyd, seemed like "a well behaved guard dog."
Thirty minutes later; however, Floyd "lunged" at Wilson, leading to her fall and injury. In the complaint, Wilson said she began treatment for back pain and had surgery in April 2007, but she remains in treatment and has suffered "substantial economic loss" due to her inability to work.
In the suit, which E! News obtained, Wilson claimed that Lopez "knew or should have known that the animal had vicious propensities" and therefore is liable for her injuries.
Lopez has not replied to the charge, as of yet.
And according to the New York Post, Lopez was also subpoenaed last week to testify in a lawsuit regarding a 1999 nightclub shooting involving her boyfriend at the time, Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Natalia Reuben, a woman who was caught in the crossfire and shot in the face, filed a $130 million lawsuit against Combs and rapper Jamal "Shyne" Barrow, who was sentenced to jail for his involvement.

Fawcett-O'Neal son pleads guilty to drug charges
A second DUI charge was tossed, per O'Neal's plea deal agreement that allowed him to avoid serving time behind bars.
Malibu Superior Court justice Lawrence J. Mira sentenced O'Neal to three years of probation and ordered him into drug rehabilitation until a July 9 hearing.
Afterwards, a court will determine if he can enter the state's drug-diversion program for the two felony counts. He was also ordered to pay $1,688 in restitution and fines for the DUI.
The charges stem from a Jan. 26 arrest when O'Neal was pulled over for speeding on the Pacific Coast Highway and heroin and crystal meth were found in his possession.
According to People, O'Neal has a history of drug abuse and went to rehab in 2004 to address his heroin addiction.

Madonna & Guy: Headed For Divorce?
Perez Hilton just recently stated on his blog that Madonna was seen in NYC just today without her wedding ring. There are reports everywhere about the tension that has existed between the pair lately and they may be headed for splitsville.
The reason? Rumors that Madonna and Guy Ritchie could be on the rocks due to disagreeing about adoption. Friends close to the couple have said Ritchie would only consider adopting another child once David had fully settled into their lives, but Madonna apparently does not share his cautious attitude.
Madonna and Ritchie apparently did not have a prenuptial agreement either. WHOA, this could mean big bucks. When contacted about all the speculation, her rep said: "No comment at this time, darling."
