The Gossip Rag: Celebrity life, photos, gossip, and news

This is hilarious; apparently, Sacha Baron Cohen–famous for playing comedic roles Borat and Bruno–invaded the Milan Fashion Show with his own costume, and made it onto the runway before being detained:

The comedian caused a security panic when he stormed onto the catwalk Thursday, interrupting designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada’s show in Milan. Cohen jumped on stage dressed up as his Austrian model character, Bruno, the subject of his latest mockumentary film. He then made his way down the catwalk, past the other models, and was wearing so many layers of clothing he could have been modeling for the Olsen twins’ collection! And, after he refused to leave, police had to be called in.

This is most likely going to appear in his upcoming movie, Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male.

So-called comedian Andy Dick finally got arrested for sexual battery and drug possession. Here’s Andy Dick’s mugshot, and the scoop from the AP:

Police were called to the Buffalo Wild Wings in Murrieta at about 1:13 a.m. to investigate a report of “an intoxicated male” urinating outside the bar and causing a disturbance, according to a police statement. When they arrived, a 17-year-old girl told police that she was outside when Dick left the bar, walked up, “grabbed her tank top and bra and pulled them down and exposed her breasts,” the statement said. Dick was identified by the teenager and a witness, police said. Marijuana and the drug Xanax were found his pants pockets during a search and he appeared “extremely intoxicated,” police said.

WOW! This is big news! The many years delayed R Kelly sex trial which took place recently has returned a verdict: not guilty! According to the associated press, Jurors returned a verdict of not guilty on all 14 counts:

R. Kelly was acquitted of all charges Friday after less than a day of deliberations in his child pornography trial, ending a six-year ordeal for the R&B superstar. Kelly dabbed his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict — not guilty on all 14 counts — was read. The Grammy award-winning singer had faced 15 years in prison if convicted. Minutes later, surrounded by bodyguards, he left the courthouse without comment. Dozens of fans screamed and cheered as he climbed into a waiting SUV.

Shaniqua Tompkins, 50 Cent’s ex and baby mama of his son Marquise, says that the house that burned down (which is currently in court dispute between 50 and Shaniqua), was no accident:

The lawyer for 50 Cent’s baby mama, Shaniqua Tompkins, tells TMZ that she heard “someone” come into the house this morning at 4 AM, shortly before the fire broke out around a hour later. Paul Catsandonis, Shaniqua’s lawyer, tells us that his client is “traumatized” by the fire and that the kids are similarly in total shock. Six people, including Tompkins and their 10-year-old son Marquise, were in the house. They all were transported to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.

The aftermath

The house is worth $1.4M. Shaniqua said, “He’s upset. If he can’t have it, no one can. He said that he was gonna have somebody come kill me and watch what he does, and this is what he did.” Does this remind you of the song “Forgot About Dre” by Eminem and Dre? Lyrics: “Me and dre stood next to a burnt down house / Wit a can full of gas and a hand full of matches / And still weren’t found out.”

In a bizarre real-crime story, two teens used a skull as a bong in Humble, Texas:

Police this week learned of the sickening incident while investigating an unrelated credit card theft allegedly pulled off by the three defendants, each of whom was arrested Wednesday and charged with abusing a corpse, a misdemeanor. Kevin Jones (left) and Matthew Gonzalez, both 17, posed for the mug shots you’ll find above. Court records identify the third grave desecrator as Matthew Rule, 16. The May 7 probable cause affidavit, filed in Harris County District Court, does not indicate why the teens dug up the body of Willie Simms, a child who reportedly died in the 1920s.

Here is a transcription of the probable cause document:
