Naomi Campbell
Defense lawyers are fighting a motion to have Naomi Campbell testify in former Liberian President Charles Taylor's war crimes trial, calling it a "publicity stunt," according to The Associated Press.
Earlier this month, prosecutors sought to get the supermodel subpoenaed to appear as a witness about claims that ...

Naomi Campbell's temper has gotten the best of her again.
The supermodel, who is already known for having a short fuse, punched a camera and stormed out of an ABC News interview when she was asked if she ever received a "blood diamond" as a gift from ousted African dictator Charles Taylor.

"I didn't receive a blood diamond and I'm not going to speak about that," Campbell angrily answered before ...

Here's a rerun you didn't want to miss. I am tempted to go off on Luke for his horrendous comments when he ran into Lorelai on the street: "It's not as big a deal for me as it is for you. So we're not getting married. It's fine by me. You're the one who proposed in the first place." Ouch!But you know what? Enough agita. I'd rather talk about Lane and Zack, Stars Hollow's best couple. Naturally Pedro's Paradise turned out to be anything but... the poor couple spent their Mexican honeymoon in Pedro's dirty apartment, nowhere near the beach, overlooking an ad for Mexican nasal spray (of all things). I'm surprised a control freak like Lane actually let Zack plan the honeymoon in the first place, but we'll let that one slide. If that's not bad enough, Lane is convinced that her mother was right about sex all along, "that women are maintaining this pervasive media-supported charade, that sex is normal, that sex is wonderful, that sex is sexy." You too would think sex was pretty awful if ...

Mollie Sue Steenis, America's Next Top Model
Pixieish America's Next Top Model castoff Mollie Sue Steenis just can't catch a break. First, she got eliminated by Tyra Banks over such "winners" as "geriatric" egomaniac Jade and cry-baby Brooke. (And let's be real — with that adorable Mia Farrow 'do and those piercing blue eyes, the 25-year-old Tampa native shoulda been a contender.) Then, when she was given the sweetest consolation prize ever by her boyfriend — a wedding! — she didn't even get to strut down the aisle like Miss J. In fact, there was no walk down the aisle at all "because we did it at a courthouse," she tells TVGuide.com. Did she at least get to don a designer gown? "Actually, I was wearing sandals and a tank top," she admits. "Then we went to take a nap in the park." We're assuming (and hoping) this

America's Next Top ModelOK, I'm going to get all Tyra-psych and talk about what's underneath these model's mostly pretty skin, because tonight brings up a very good question: Just how self-aware are these girls? We have Furonda and her "tips for successful interaction," which seem to indicate that she's watched a whole lot of reality TV and is declaring herself the show's villain with the warning that she'll treat the others "identical to, or worse than" the way they treat her. Jade, on the other hand, thinks she's self-aware but is absolutely clueless. She thinks they cut and bleached her hair because she's too good and needs more of a challenge. She thinks she has serious problems because she didn't get hair extensions, and Wendy

Question: It seems like every other movie I see advertised is based on a TV show, like The Dukes of Hazzard. But what about the other way around? I know there was a series based on My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but what other TV series have been based on a movie, and were any of them good?
Answer: There have been a handful of top-notch TV shows based on movies. The flop Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) was revived as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003); Robert Altman's acerbic M*A*S*H* (1970) became the long-running M*A*S*H (1972-1983); Neil Simon

Cassandra Whitehead
What was she thinking? For the last two weeks of America's Next Top Model (Wednesdays at 8 pm/ET, on UPN) that's all I was thinking: What was Cassandra Whitehead thinking? The Texan went on the show well aware that every girl gets an extreme makeover, yet when Tyra Banks ordered her brown mane cut off à la Mia Farrow's 'do in Rosemary's Baby, she wanted to curl up and dye. The pageant perennial finally threw in the towel, quitting Model rather than allow another inch to be trimmed in the name of transformation. (She was followed out the door shortly thereafter by last week's eliminee, Sarah.) So you can guess my first question for Cassandra when I rang he

America's favorite night of schadenfreude is here: makeover day! And big shocker, self-proclaimed sociopath Cassandra's getting her beloved tiara-holding locks chopped off and bleached to look like Mia Farrow's in Rosemary's Baby. Take that, Miss "I have a great natural beauty and I don't think I need to change a thing." Tyra's getting deliciously mean in Janice's absence. It actually looks pretty good — that is, in those few moments when Cassandra isn't all pinchy-faced and crying about it. It's almost as great as Catie's meltdown in Cycle 2. Favorite makeovers: pretty blonde Kyle as a sultry brunette, Sarah's preppy bob and Nik's nest of high-fashion blonde curls. Sorry, Coryn still looks like a man, even sans cartoon eyebrows. I really didn't get Jay's weird personality lessons, and I wish James St. James had been the one to assign them ("You need to be more Ringling Bros. clown and not so Cirque du
