May 2006

2006 hasn’t really come up with the goods in terms of music, but Nelly Furtado looks set to turn it all around and has come back with a vengeance. Looking sexy and sounding fresh, Ms Furtado has teamed up with Timbaland for her most recent edgy and energy filled tune “Promiscuous”.

(watch the video and see if you can spot a mighty fine Mr Justin Timberlake right at the end….)

How bizarre… fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, 55, smacked up Guns N’ Roses star Axl Rose, 44, at Rosario Dawson’s birthday party (held at The Plumm nightclub in the Manhattan neighbourhood of Chelsea) allegedly because Axl moved Hilfiger girlfriends drink so it wouldn’t spill. Hilfiger hit his arm, telling him to put the drink back, instigating a scuffle between the two.

According to E-online the Guns N’ Roses frontman said of the incident,

“I moved his girlfriend’s drink so it wouldn’t spill, It was the most surreal thing, I think, that’s ever happened to me in my life.”
“I said, ‘I don’t want it to spill.’ And he said, ‘It’s not going to spill.’ And I said, ‘Well, I don’t want to sit on it.’ And he said, ‘You’re not going to blanking sit on it,’ the Gunner said. “He just kept smacking me.”

Axl who later performed as a surprise for Rosario dedicated “You’re crazy” to “my good friend, Tommy Hilfiger.” (you can’t help but laugh!)

Just when you thought Pete Doherty couldn’t be any fouler….he manages to exceed all expectations. Drug addict Doherty has given his record label Rough trade, no choice but to give him the boot, after injecting himself with heroin after a gig in Berlin, then squirting a syringe full of his blood over two MTV cameramen.

On off girlfriend Kate Moss summoned the musician to her home to tell him exactly what she thought of his irresponsible behaviour but couldn’t find the words and gave him a beating instead.

Doherty said of his encounter with Moss….

“She was angry about the blood-spraying thing. She beat the crap out of me. She laid into me punching and kicking.

“I’m alright, but she hurt my finger. I couldn’t do anything back, because she’s a girl.”
