Stoned Moss investigation is on a roll, we gather
The British tabloid that printed images allegedly showing Kate Moss snorting cocaine has turned over the videotape to police.
Moss lost contracts with H&M, Burberry and Chanel after the Daily Mirror published the pictures in September.
The 31-year-old supermodel later apologized to “all the people I have let down” and checked into an Arizona rehabilitation clinic.
Police said at the time they would investigate the allegations, taking into account the impact on impressionable young people.
A senior staffer who refused to be identified said Thursday the newspaper had turned over the secretly captured video to police under a judge’s orders.
It allegedly showed Moss taking drugs with her then-boyfriend Pete Doherty, singer for the British rock band Babyshambles.
Moss has begun a career comeback, shooting an advertising campaign for designer Roberto Cavalli and agreeing to appear in a television ad for cell phone brand Virgin Mobile.
No marriage, no record, no problems
Renee Zellweger‘s marriage to country crooner Kenny Chesney never existed – at least in the eyes of the law.
The couple’s union has been annulled by the Los Angeles Superior Court, according to documents obtained this week by the television show “Extra.” An annulment is a judicial declaration that a marriage never legally existed.
Zellweger, 36, and Chesney, 37, wed in a small ceremony on the Caribbean island of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands in May. She sought the annulment four months later.
Further down the ‘Line’
“Walk the Line,” the Johnny Cash biopic, will be shown at Folsom State Prison next month – nearly four decades after the Man in Black himself famously performed there.
Joaquin Phoenix, who plays Cash, will attend the Jan. 3 screening for inmates at the California penitentiary.
Cash’s legendary performance at Folsom Prison on Jan. 13, 1968, became a popular live album. The concert figures prominently in “Walk the Line.”
Real lifeguard
Former “Baywatch” star Brooke Burns, who broke her neck last month after diving into her backyard pool, credits a firefighter friend with saving her life.
Burns says he “saw me dive in, and he wrapped a wet towel around my neck and basically immobilized me and floated me in the pool until the paramedics came, so he saved my life.
“If I had been with anyone else that tried to move me, I would be at least half-paralyzed, if not completely paraplegic,” she says.
Burns co-stars with Rebecca Romijn in the upcoming WB series “Pepper Dennis.”
Oh, so he’d rather be Meathead
Al Sharpton, who was previously in talks with CBS to appear in a sitcom, says he’s not interested in being a TV star after all.
He reportedly had been working with the network on a pilot tentatively titled, “Al in the Family” – an allusion to the classic ‘70s show “All in the Family.
“I’m not interested in being Archie Bunker, I’m looking forward to becoming George Bush,” says Sharpton, a 51-year-old activist/minister who has run for president, mayor of New York and the Senate.
