JD Salingers toilet for sale

Recycled bottles-cool, recycled bags-cool

But a recycled toilet? NO THANKS.

But maybe if JD Salinger took a dump in it it might seem appealing? I think not.

A toilet alleged to have once belonged to author JD Salinger has been put on eBay for $1m.

According to the BBC, the seller claims to have acquired the "used toilet commode" from the owners of a house that Salinger once owned. The toilet is said to be "uncleaned and in its original condition".

"Who knows how many of [his] stories were thought up and written while Salinger sat on this throne!" the listing adds.

The item comes with a letter from the owners of the house in Cornish, New Hampshire, confirming that they removed the toilet during renovations.

Salinger, who died in January at the age of 91, is best known for writing the book Catcher in the Rye.

oh Boy whatever next? George Bush's Unused brains??

Navarrete wins a whole bunch of good girly stuff, including a year's supply of hair products and makeup; designer shoe, swimwear and dress collections; and a scholarship from the New York Film Academy for either its filmmaking or acting program.

The Jolie-pitts in Hungary

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their army- ok six kids are reportedly house hunting in Budapest, Hungary, so the actress can make her directorial debut with a film about the war in Yugoslavia at the beginning of the 1990s.

The hard hitting film reportedly focuses on a horrific sex crime amid the conflict when a Serbian soldier raped a Bosnian woman.

Charles Haddon commits suicide while performing!!

A British pop singer climbed up a satellite mast and plunged to his death after playing in front of a sell-out crowd.

Charles Haddon’s fatal fall took place hours after a girl had been injured by another member of his group diving off the stage.

Haddon, 22, was said to be ‘very down’ after Friday’s gig at the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium, which attracted 180,000 people this weekend.
Charles Haddon

Suicide: Charles Haddon, singer for Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, leapt to his death from a telecommunications mast behind the main stage at the Pukkelpop festival shortly after his band performed at the Belgian event.

During the performance by his band Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, fellow group member Joe Hutchinson, 22, dived into the crowd, injuring a young woman.

There were chaotic scenes as she was rushed to hospital. The up-and-coming group, who have performed at Glastonbury, finished and left the stage. Hours later Haddon fell to his death.


(The structure he allegedly plunged off from)

A message on the band’s MySpace page last night read: ‘We are all so deeply saddened to confirm our friend Charlie Haddon passed away yesterday, Friday 20th August.

The death came only a day after another tragedy at the festival in the town of Hasselt. Michael Been, the 60-year-old singer of US band The Call, died of an apparent heart attack on Thursday while working as soundman for his son’s band, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.



(The Call)

Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, who supported electro-pop duo La Roux on tour last year, were due to perform in Austria at the Frequency Festival tonight and at Bestival in September.

FREAKY!

Bamzigi zigi is back

Bamzigi is back with a new single for his upcoming album!!!

The new tune is titled Mizuka and it is unbelievable amazing!!If you fancy a mix of Afro fusion, electro house and hip hop then check this one out!!

It's all about a new style of mixing genres-so in his words its It's song and beat that describes all of what he is listening to including RNB and hip-hop and reggae.

Talk about breaking boundaries-it's got something for everyone no matter what you listen to.

Plus I learnt alot about his music taste- At the moment on his Ipod he’s listening to a lot of electro house, some hip hop, Red Cafe, Rick Ross, ZuQ music, Kwaito-dj Cleo and Donae'o (African Warrior)Tyga.

Plus prodigy's new one- 'Take me to the hospital' is another favorite.

BaMzi also said that after listening to their 'Fire starter' he was inspired.

And if you are wondering where you can bump into him, then he will be at the VIP tent this 18th September at Earth Dance.

And he just made me listen to an unreleased new track that is unbelievably amazing, called ALIVE ft Degzs!!WOW is all i can say. The Kenyan music scene is definitely seeing a good change.

Marlon Wayans loses his MARBLES and TOP SECRET STUFF...lol

Marlon Wayans has been Electronically Violated

Wayans blew a circuit last week when he discovered he may be the victim of a heinous computer hacker ... and now he's enlisted the boys in blue to investigate.

Law enforcement sources stated Marlon filed a police report last week because he believed someone broke into one his social network accounts and jacked a bunch of his personal information.

So far, Marlon's info seems to be safe ... but police are launching an investigation to see if they can locate the alleged Internet bandit that may have poked around his digital privates.

Fiona Coyne dead-weakest link SA host dead

TV presenter Fiona Coyne, who hosts the South African version of quiz show The Weakest Link, has been found dead at her home, police have confirmed.

Captain Stephen Knap, of Cape Town police, said Coyne's housekeeper found the star's body at her home in Fish Hoek on Wednesday.

He refused to confirm reports that the 45-year-old had killed herself.

Coyne, was understood to have left two notes at her house – one addressed to her mother Dolly Coyne and another for her housekeeper of six years, Zoleka Shumani.

Coyne had reportedly made arrangements regarding her possessions prior to her death, including instructions to sell the house and divide the proceeds.

Ms Shumani found the letter addressed to her on the kitchen table, which the 36-year-old housekeeper said began by telling her that Coyne was very sorry and that she should call police immediately.

'She even had the number written down for me,' said Ms Shumani.

Coyne had apparently also written that Ms Shumani could take anything in the house that she wished, including jewelry.

'I did not realize what was happening and telephoned the police immediately.'

It is believed the letter states that Coyne had not intended to punish anyone but that she weighed-up the pros and cons of her life and then took the fateful decision.

The letters indicate that her biggest fears were of failure and of growing old alone, having split from her ex-husband Willie Fritz, who has been asked to look after her two dogs Malaika and Tamu.

Coyne is also a playwright and actress, and wrote the book Who Moved My Ladder? The Working Woman's Guide to Success.

She beat 500 hopefuls to the job and flew to London to train with British Weakest Link presenter Anne Robinson in 2003.

May she rest in peace...

TV show of the week: Pretty Little Liars

I love TV and here's 1 of my new favourite shows: Pretty Little Liars based upon the book series by Sara Shepard- which is awesome.

I have seen the most recent 8 episodes back to back in the last several days and all i can say is WOW!

Mindless fluff that borders on Desperate Housewives and Gossip Girl, this series kept me thoroughly entertained.There's something about teenage drama shows like the catty and exaggerated ' O.C', 'The Hills' and 'Glee'.

Awesome, download it ASAP!!

Angie designing kids clothes?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are taking over the world.

OK, maybe not but is there anything this golden power couple can't do?

Reps for Jolie and Pitt aren't commenting, but rumors are flying that the two have plans to design a children's clothing line. But before you think they're doing it to stuff their own bank accounts, sales of the line are said to be benefiting their charity, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

This wouldn't be the first time the two have designed together. Their jewelry pieces for Asprey launched last year and benefits The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict.

The Salt star reportedly donated her fee for modeling for St. John to charity, too.

No word on what the children's collection will entail, but will Shiloh inspire some unisex Montenegro pieces? We hope so.

Katie Holmes advertising J Crew

Katie Holmes appeared in the J.Crew catalog with her Romantics costars (like Josh Duhamel).

Cute...

Trashy Taylor Momsen goes off on Rihanna

Another day, another precious gem from the mouth of Taylor Momsen. (Is this girl giving Megan Fox a run for her money in the mouthing-off department, or what?)

And this time, it's aimed at pop star Rihanna...

In an interview with Spin.com, in which the 17-year-old classifies her trashy style as "high-class hooker," Momsen is "very protective of what she considers 'rock.' "

She complains, "People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna's wearing f--kin' leather jackets, and it's really annoying."

Then Tay-Tay says, "I'm figuring out who I am and what I want to be doing."

So it's OK for her to experiment but she calls out Rihanna on her style. Um, hypocritical much?

Yep, spoken like a true teenager.

Avril nominated for a Channel O award

Ogopa Singer Avril who brought you hit songs “MAMA” and is featured on “MTaani.com” has been nominated for a channel O award.

Avril has been nominated in the Most gifted east African video category for her video “Mama” which was shot by Ogopa video.

Speaking exclusively to the hotsource Avril who learned of the nomination late last week says she is honored and speechless at being in the same category with nameless , Wyre and Loyiso and is ecstatic and hopes she wins asking everyone to vote for her on the Channel O website.

Wow, good things coming her way!

Are they or aren't they?DATING???

Kat Von D can't make up her mind.

After she spent a cozy weekend in Vegas with Jesse James, the tattoo artist took to her Twitter to announce "And yes, Jesse and I are dating."

Which she promptly deleted.

So what's really going on with these two, who have been friends for years?

Harry Popper popped

You'd think it would be a major mojo boost for Daniel Radcliffe to get a condom company named after his Harry Potter character, but sadly Warner Bros. disagrees.

The Swiss condom brand "Harry Popper" is reportedly being sued for copyright infringement by the studio.

There is no denying the correlation between the latex protectors and the ever-so-popular wizard movie. If the name didn't do it for you, the illustration of a condom swinging a wand and wearing round-frame glasses will.

But more importantly, is it smart to market condoms with "popper" in the name, anyway?

Hmmmm

Chelsea Handler to host VMAs

Chelsea Handler will be hosting The MTV VMAs this September 12 and Kanye West and any other celebiot(Celeb idiot)better watch out coz she will be ready to mace them with her words!!

Love her!

And the assets are out again...

Laurence Fishburne is going to the Emmys. Montana Fishburne is going to the top back row of your dingiest local newsstand.

Yeah, we just can't imagine why this father-daughter duo is no longer on speaking terms.

As it happens, the nepotistic porndog has disrobed yet again, this time to take the illustrious cover of As Is, the self-touted "hottest magazine on the streets."

As if you didn't know.

There's no word yet on the inside, um, spread, but if her cover quote is any indication, Montana is keeping it classy:

"I'm not doing s--t to him, but f--king and having my career."

Aww, daddy's little angel!

Wyclef not eligible to run for presidency?

Is wyclef jean already out of the presidential race?

Well, Sean Penn must be pleased if he is.

Wyclef Jean's presidential run in Haiti hit its first—and, possibly, last—major obstacle last week when he reportedly failed to make the list of legally approved candidates for the Nov. 28 election.

So is that it?

Not really, despite lying low after death threats, jean says he is optimistic he will make the list.

However in order to run for president you have to have lived in Haiti for 5 years, which Jean hasn’t but has visited frequently and single handedly raised millions for the earth quaked hit region.

But if that’s enough to let him be president remains to be seen.

Is blue the new black?

Hollywood has a serious case of the blues.

In fact, celebs are dying over it...

But no need to offer anyone Prozac for it. We're talking about blue hair.

Stars ranging from Katy Perry to Maddox Jolie-Pitt have sported the edgy look. And just this week, Juliette Lewis showed up to the red carpet premiere of The Switch donning some rocker blue tresses

Mariah might be new judge on Idol!

American Idol could end up GLITTERing next season after all.

Mariah Carey is still in negotiations to sign on as a judge.

She really wants to do it as she has seen what reality tv did for her husband Nick Cannon.

It seems Steven Tyler is still on as a judge, which adds Randy and Mariah to the new music and randy and Mariah have some serious onscreen chemistry (because they are the same age), so it might be goodbye Ellen, kara and simon and hello diva, druggie and dawg!

Jay z is the richest rapper

Jay-Z has topped the list of richest rappers in the world from Forbes magazine.
He made $35 million in the last 12 months.

He beatsformer leader P Diddy, who earned $30 million over the same period.

Kanye West was listed as the third highest earner with $25 million, followed by Akon and Lil Wayne in fourth and fifth place respectively.

Eminem, Pharrell Williams and Timbaland also featured in the top ten.

Jay-Z's earnings are said to be considerably less than his wife Beyoné's, who reportedly raked in $87 million in the last 12 months.

BigPin in trouble with Kanjo

In one of his hit songs Chrispin Mwangale known to many as Rapper BigPin has a part where he says “breath in breath out let me pumzika” but it seems the city council of Nairobi will not allow him.

The “Benteba” rapper recently had a run in with city council askaris after he was seen by the said askari’s throwing chewing gum out of his car window in traffic…..The Askari’s however let him go after he pleaded with them to spare him…..It seems they are really serious about keeping the city clean for the 27th when we usher in the new constitution.

Joe Perry Bumps Steven T off stage

Joe Perry allegedly knocked Steven Tyler off stage during an Aerosmith concert in Toronto.

In footage on the net, Tyler can be seen bumping Perry, causing him to lose his balance slightly.

Perry then knocks the band's frontman with his hip, leading Tyler to fall off the stage and into the audience.

Both Perry and security guards helped Tyler to his feet. The singer then said: "That won’t be happening again."

Caleb apologises for comments

Caleb Followill has apologized for comments he made about his band's hit single 'Sex On Fire'.

The Kings of Leon frontman previously criticised the song, calling it a "piece of s**t" and branding fans of the track as "not f**king cool".

However, he insisted that he is now "ashamed" of the remarks and did not mean to offend the band's supporters.

"For a while there, I turned into someone I wasn't proud of,".

"I wasn't appreciative of the admiration we were getting, and I said some things that I'm ashamed of. I hurt people who were genuine fans of the band because I was embarrassed to look out from the stage every night and see people who weren't like me."

Aww poor guy, we know where's coming from and it must be hard to apologise, good on ya Caleb!!

Still love the "piece of sh***" song even if it makes me "f****** uncool"

Hilary Duff Wedding in Ok!

Hilary Duff Wedding: Loved her Vera Wang-designed dress.

Her big day began all wrong, but it certainly didn't end that way.

"I started my day with a chipped tooth!" she reveals in the new issue of OK! "My wedding planner snuck me out to the dentist! Thank goodness it was fixed within the hour."

Fortunately, everything else went smoothly for the 22-year-old bride as she tied the knot with Mike Comrie last weekend in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Walking down the aisle in front of about 100 guests, Duff wore a Vera Wang gown with an organza mermaid look that was adorned with giant blossoms while carrying a bouquet of blush dahlias.

"There are not even words to describe it," says the starlet about her dress. "It's exactly what I imagined, plus 10 times better."

Duff says she also abided by the tradition of wearing something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

"I wore blue underwear and borrowed all of the jewelry [from Van Cleef & Arpels], and the something old was my great-grandmother's cameo, which I wore on the inside of my dress. The dress itself was new."

Upon exchanging vows, the newly married couple joined their loved ones under a muslin tent for the reception, which, according to Duff, featured truffled corn ravioli, pepper-crusted rib-eye steak and miso-glazed black cod, as well as a dessert station that included ice cream sandwiches with hot fudge dipping sauce.

Sounds like husband and wife are definitely off to a sweet start!

And Halle dumped him???

It looks like very little gets in between Gabriel Aubry and his sheets! The sexy model sizzles as the face, or should we say body, of Charisma’s newest ad campaign.

Following in the footsteps of Sex and the City heartthrob Jason Lewis, Gabriel strips down to pose in the home brand’s fall 2010 campaign, shot by famed photographer Tony Duran.

And while the sizzling star has nothing but praise for the label’s luxe linens, I'm much more focused on the details of his six-pack!

The smoking hot dad to Nahla and ex of Halle Berry, will heat up October issues of home magazines as well as computer screens in an online campaign.

Thank G she dumped him...women will have to get in line for this hottie!

The Jolie Pitts buy home in Santorini

So while the rest of the world is experiencing a recession, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are buying real estate.

They allegedly bought a home in Italy a few months ago and now they have bought a Compound, greek for my big, fat, very large house-in Santorini Greece.
Good for them, guess they won’t be breaking up anytime soon.

Ricky Martin and his gorgeous kids

Ricky Martin is the proud single dad to 2-year-old twin boys, Matteo and Valentino. The babies were born by a surrogate mother.

Shortly after the arrival of his sons, Ricky spoke about life as a single dad:

"I don't have a nanny. I'm doing this on my own because I don't want to miss a moment. I have a personal assistant who helps me, someone who takes care of me while I'm taking care of them, but I'm the one who changes the diapers, the one that feeds them, the one that bathes them, the one that puts them to sleep. For any parent, the first couple of months tend to get a little bit intense."

Earlier this year, the Livin' la Vida Loca singer - whose sexuality has been the source of much speculation - posted a long statement that ended with, "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am." He said that he came out for his sons.

It really sucks that the hottest, sweetest men are all gay. We women struggle anyway to find decent guys and then the awesome ones don't like the ladies!!Sigh.

Well so long as Ricky keeps shaking his "bon bon", I'll die happy.

Cheryl Cole fights malaria for Ugandans

English singing and acting sensation Cheryl Cole is set to become a charity ambassador to help fight the spread of malaria in Uganda.

She will travel to Uganda early next year where she will meet families of malaria victims and hand out mosquito nets and medication to local people.

Cheryl who contracted the disease 2 months ago while on holiday in Tanzania considered the experience life changing and according to a friend has now vowed to do her best to help fight the disease.

Nice

Fantasia Barrino thanks fans for support

Fantasia Barrino has spoken out for the first time since her drug overdose, thanking fans for supporting her through a "challenging time.

She was hospitalized for an overdose earlier this month after she became entangled in divorce proceedings between North Carolina couple Antwaun Cook and his estranged wife Paula. She is now facing legal action from her love rival under a North Carolina law which allows a victim of adultery to sue for alienation of affection and criminal conversation.

However, despite her troubles, Barrino has told fans she appreciates them sticking by her - and she wants to start afresh and concentrate on boosting her music career ahead of the release of her upcoming album Back To Me.

How convenient for her- a quick recovery after her suicide attempt just before her album gets released.

Dodgy, I think so.

Kim Regrets Ray J sextape

Kim Kardashian has described the sex tape with Ray J that propelled her to her massive fame today as "humiliating."

She said it wasn’t her proudest moment but at least she now has a positive image in the media.

Well not if you call positive hanging out with Justin Bieber, maybe she can adopt him as 1 of the many children she wants in the next 5 years.

Then again I like how she has made something outta her life after all that negativity, Rock on Kim.

Here she is shopping with Entourage star, Adriene Greener.
