The Sun reports:

Jaw-droppingly gorgeous ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY will take over as the leading lady in upcoming blockbuster Transformers 3.
Rosie – who has notched up the bedpost with OLIVIER MARTINEZ and JASON STATHAM – has NO acting credentials to date.

Harriet Harman

The website hosted in California, Punternet.com essentially allows men to rate and compare prostitutes. According to the Times:

“She told a cheering conference hall in Brighton: “Surely it can’t be too difficult for the terminator to terminate PunterNet. If he doesn’t I’ve got a message for Arnie – I’ll be back!””

In England and Wales, prostitution (defined as the exchange of sexual services for money or goods) is legal for the client and prostitute when aged 18 or over, however it is illegal to solicit, pander and keep a brothel.

In response to Harman’s demands, the owner of the site has written an open letter to Harman.  Read it here. The writer defends his/her right to Freedom of Speech under the American Constitution and characterizes itself as fulfilling the demands of a free market economy:

“PunterNet was not the first, and is certainly not the only, website in the UK with the same subject matter. Rather than creating the demand for commercial sex, sites like PunterNet are a response to that demand, which has existed since the dawn of mankind and certainly long before the advent of the Internet!
One of the missions of PunterNet is education – to provide information and guidance in hopes that the commercial sex scene is limited to consenting adults and those who choose of their own free will to engage in it.”

However, Harman’s actions may have backfired as the owner claims that the publicity has increased traffic to the site:

“In closing, I would like to thank you for the huge influx of traffic to my website which your actions have caused. I am sure that the ladies who are a part of the PunterNet community thank you as well, as they will no doubt benefit financially from the many new clients who might otherwise never have found them.”

Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:

“In September 2009, Phillips’ memoir High on Arrival (US$14.29 on Amazon) was released. Phillips appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show for an hour-long interview. She told Winfrey that she first tried cocaine when she was 11 years old, and that her father did drugs with her and injected her with cocaine.

During the interview, Phillips read excerpts from her book. She said that at the age of 19, on the night before her first wedding, “I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father.” Both reportedly were under the influence of drugs at the time. Phillips then told Winfrey, “It became a consensual relationship,”describing her participation as “sort of Stockholm Syndrome, where you begin to love your captor.”

Phillips said the incestuous relationship had happened gradually for ten years, and that she ended it when she became pregnant and did not know who had fathered the child. She stated that her father paid for her to have an abortion, “and I never let him touch me again.” “

Though half-sister Chynna Phillips is supportive of Mackenzie, not everyone is pleased with the revelation, least of all her stepmother Michelle Phillips. Watch a clip of Mackenzie’s interview on Oprah at Celebtv.com:

That little incident made it to the gossip columns first, but undoubtedly the entire show was dedicated to Michael Jackson. Celebrities paid tribute to the King of Pop, led by his sister Janet Jackson and Madonna who gave a touching speech referring to Jackson as  ”one of the greatest talents the world has ever known”. She spoke of the time when she invited him out to dinner.
She also spoke about darker times, when he was hounded by child abuse allegations:
“I had abandoned him,” she said. “We had abandoned him, that we allowed this magnificent creature who lit the world on fire to somehow slip through the cracks.”
