London detectives have searched the recording studio where supermodel Kate Moss allegedly snorted cocaine, London’s Metropolitan Police said Saturday.
Police searched the west London building on Thursday, but a spokeswoman refused to comment on whether drugs were recovered.
“We can confirm that officers from the specialist crime directorate executed a … search warrant on Sept. 29 at an address in (west) London as part of an ongoing inquiry,” she said.
British newspapers reported last week that Moss checked into the Meadows rehab clinic outside Phoenix. She reportedly enrolled in the 30-day program on the recommendation of fellow supermodel Elle Macpherson, who received treatment there for post-natal depression in 2003.
“American Idol” winner Fantasia Barrino reveals in her memoirs that she is functionally illiterate and had to fake her way through some scripted portions of the televised talent show, which she won in 2004.
“You’re illiterate to just about everything. You don’t want to misspell,” Fantasia told ABC’s “20/20.” “So that, for me, kept me in a box and I didn’t, wouldn’t come out.”
The 21-year-old R&B singer says she’s signed record deals and contracts that she didn’t read and couldn’t understand. But the hardest part, she said, is not being able to read to Zion, her 4-year-old daughter.
“That hurts really bad,” she said, adding that she is now learning to read with tutors.
Martha Stewart – already with two TV shows – is working on a third.
Stewart’s company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, purchased a $700,000 house in Norwalk last month that will be featured in a new home-improvement show next year. The as-yet-unnamed series is about a group of women who learn trades and help renovate the 125-year-old house.
The 13-part series focuses on six women who are coming off welfare programs, recovering from bankruptcy or getting out of drug rehabilitation.
The way to Loretta Lynn’s famous “cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler” is about to go from hardscrabble to a smooth ride.
Construction crews are preparing to pave the mile-long gravel road that winds its way into Butcher Hollow, Ky., the community she made famous in the song and movie “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”
Tourism officials have been trying to capitalize on eastern Kentucky’s contributions to the country music industry. While the homes of Kentucky natives like Naomi and Wynonna Judd, Billy Ray Cyrus, Ricky Skaggs, Dwight Yoakam and Patty Loveless are all visited – none is as much as Lynn’s.
Dance champ moves to Broadway musical
John O’Hurley, a recent winner in the rematch for the “Dancing with the Stars” title on ABC, will be dancing on Broadway next year.
He will take over the role of lawyer Billy Flynn in the long-running revival of “Chicago” beginning Jan. 16. O’Hurley will co-star with Robin Givens, who joins the cast the same day, playing chorus girl-turned-murderess Roxie Hart. Both will appear in the Kander and Ebb musical through March 26.
Before “Dancing with the Stars,” O’Hurley was best-known for playing catalog king J. Peterman on television’s “Seinfeld,” and he also has appeared on “The Mullets.” “Chicago” will begin its 10th year on Broadway in November.
