Enrique Iglesias Worried About Sharks – and Grooming – Before Water Skiing Naked

Enrique Iglesias Worried About Sharks – and Grooming – Before Water Skiing Naked

Posted on 26 Jul 2010 at 9:30pm

Seems like Enrique Iglesias is a man of his word.

When the sexy singer said he’d water ski naked if Spain won the World Cup, people were skeptical that he would actually deliver. Turns out, he has every intention to follow through.

“I need to get my Brazilian wax before I do it,” he told PEOPLE at the 150th episode taping of So You Think You Can Dance. “Actually, I’m just waiting for a day off. A bet’s a bet.”

Added the singer: “I used to do it in high school, so what’s the big deal?”

And while there have been rumors that the police will be patrolling for a fully-exposed Iglesias, he plans on warding them off by choosing a dark night to take the plunge in the Biscayne Bay.

“I never got arrested in high school for doing it,” he said while also wondering, “Can you really get arrested for skiing naked?”

One other concern? “The water’s hot in Miami,” he said. “The only thing I’m worried about is if you fall at night, there’s sharks in the water.”

Kings of Leon Concert Shut Down by Pigeon Poop

Kings of Leon Concert Shut Down by Pigeon Poop

Posted on 26 Jul 2010 at 9:29pm

Three songs into their St. Louis concert Friday night, the Kings of Leon had to shut down the show on account of some unexpected accompaniment that CNN pins on “pooping pigeons.”

“Jared was hit several times during the first two songs,” said Andy Mendelsohn of Vector Management. “It’s not only disgusting – it’s a toxic health hazard. They really tried to hang in there.”

The dirty birds were reported to have been lurking in the rafters of the Missouri city’s Verizon Amphitheatre and launching their aerial attack during the band’s opening number, “Closer.” Followill, 23, got it in the face.

“I was hit by pigeons on each of the first three songs,” said the musician and self-professed germophobe. “We had 20 songs on the set list. By the end of the show, I would have been covered from head to toe.”

Nor did he feel safe gazing skyward to see who his attackers were – or how many of them.

“The last thing I was going to do was look up,” he said, “but if that was only a couple, we must have caught them right after a big Thanksgiving dinner.”

After the cancelation – and, presumably, a good, hot shower – the band said in a statement through its manager, “We want to apologize to our fans in St. Louis and will come back as soon as we can.” Added the band’s publicist, “No fans got pooped on as far as we know.”

Though comments were sought, CNN received no word on the matter from reps for the Verizon Amphitheatre or the concert promoter Live Nation.

Britney Spears’s Dinner Date with Jason Trawick – and His Parents!

Posted on 26 Jul 2010 at 9:28pm

They’ve been romantically linked since last summer, and Saturday Britney Spears and beau Jason Trawick had special guests join them at dinner: his parents.

Before heading to L.A.’s Pantages Theatre for a show, the pop star and her former agent had a double dinner date with Trawick’s mother and father at the Grafton on Sunset Hotel’s Olive Kitchen + Bar.

They dined from about 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on meatballs and margarita pizza, and an onlooker at the restaurant says Spears enjoyed the quality time with his folks.

“She seemed to fit in very well with his family,” the source tells PEOPLE.com. “She seemed very comfortable. She was very warm to them.”

As for Spears and Trawick, who have already fended off engagement rumors, they appeared to be a happy couple, keeping it romantic but low-key.

“Britney and Jason were really affectionate,” the source says, “but at the same time very respectful.” • Reporting by DAHVI SHIRA and JENNIFER GARCIA

Missing Oregon Boy's Parents Ask Mystery Woman to Step Forward

Missing Oregon Boy’s Parents Ask Mystery Woman to Step Forward

Posted on 26 Jul 2010 at 9:15pm

The parents of missing 7-year-old Kyron Horman are asking a mystery woman to come out and help them find out what happened to their boy.

“We have been informed that they have identified a person that has been in close communication with Terri Moulton Horman since Kyron went missing, and her name is DeDe Spicher,” a statement from Desiree Young and Kaine Horman reads. “She has not only been in close communication with Terri but has been providing Terri with support and advice that is not in the best interests of our son.”

Young and Horman have both pointed the finger at Terri Moulton Horman, Kaine Horman’s estranged wife, saying they’re certain she is the person responsible for the Oregon boy’s disappearance from his elementary school on June 4.

According to Young and Horman, Spicher may have information about Kyron’s whereabouts, but is refusing to cooperate with authorities. The couple go on to beg Spicher to come forward, but also warn her that they might pursue a lawsuit against her.

“We as a family cannot understand how anyone can look at Kyron’s smiling face, having information and choose not to help bring him home,” the statement reads. “Please remember what this is about, it’s about bringing a wonderful little boy back to his family.”

A spokeswoman for the local sheriff’s office would not comment on the family’s plea, Portland station KATU reports.

Smashing Pumpkins Frontman Billy Corgan Collapses on Stage

Smashing Pumpkins Frontman Billy Corgan Collapses on Stage

Posted on 26 Jul 2010 at 1:23pm

Billy Corgan, the singer of the 1990s Chicago alt-rock band Smashing Pumpkins, collapsed while performing a song with his band during a show in Tampa, Fla., on Thursday.

“That wasn’t a stage move or clumsiness,” the musician, 43, later wrote on Twitter. “That was me blacking out and wiping out.”

Corgan, recently rumored to be romantically linked to Jessica Simpson, will continue touring despite the mishap – though fans in his next stop, Knoxville, Tenn., might hear more slow ballads than they expected.

“I have no memory of falling against the drum riser and my guitar cabinet, but I can tell you I’ve got quite a good bruise + am moving slow,” he Tweeted.

Jail Source: The Inmates Are Sick of Lindsay Lohan

Jail Source: The Inmates Are Sick of Lindsay Lohan

Posted on 26 Jul 2010 at 1:14pm

As far as reports go, Lindsay Lohan is eating the same meals as regular inmates at the Century Regional Detention Facility. But that doesn’t mean she’s being entirely treated like the others.

“She’s not treated like if it was anyone else going to jail,” Maria Medina, a relative of an inmate at Lohan’s jail tells PEOPLE. “Like, if they even want to bring her new clothes or bring her anything, they put the whole facility on lockdown. It happens all the time.”

Medina, 40, says residents at the jail, based in Lynwood, Calif., find it unfair that someone they’re not even allowed to see is exerting so much control over their stay.

“All the inmates are sick of Lindsay,” Medina says. “It’s almost like Lindsay Lohan’s here, but she’s not. Like if she even moves, they put the whole facility on lockdown. It happens all the time. For example, just yesterday , Lindsay had to go to the mini-clinic, and the whole place was on lockdown again.”

Los Angeles Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore denied Medina’s claim. “It’s business as usual. Lindsay’s getting no special treatment,” he told PEOPLE on Saturday. He also said there is no such thing as “lockdowns.”

As far as Lohan is concerned, she’s now apparently in a much better state of mind than earlier this week.

“ doing well, she’s doing fine,” Lohan’s lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley tells PEOPLE. “Her outlook is definitely more positive.”

Despite speculation that Lohan was given exemptions when it came to visitation limits, Holley told reporters her client is playing by the rules, saying,” not allowed any more visits this week.”

Whitmore earlier this week told PEOPLE that Lohan received her visits during the week to avoid disrupting other families visiting on the weekend with ensuing TV crews and photographers.
