Amy Winehouse canceled a Paris concert date on Friday due to poor health

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse canceled a Paris concert date on Friday due to poor health, it is reported by Reuters.
"Amy Winehouse was regrettably unable to perform at the Rock En Seine show in Paris due to illness. She was taken ill at her house and wasn't able to travel to France for the concert," her spokesman told the news organization.
The soul singer has had several reported health issues this year, having been hospitalized, and, then in June, her father said his daughter was suffering from early signs of emphysema.
Health permitting, next up for Winehouse is an appearance at the Bestival Fesival on the Isle of Wight next weekend.

It was a star-studded weekend at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas when Paris and Nicky Hilton, Eva Longoria Parker and Wilmer Valderrama dropped by to kick off the Labor Day holiday weekend on the mega club's VIP stage.
The Hilton sisters were first on the scene -- joined by Nicky's boyfriend David Katzenberg -- to party to the hot tunes spun by Pure's resident DJ, DJ AM. In between dances, Paris and Nicky took a break to pose for photos with fans.
Then Eva and Wilmer dropped in with a gang of friends and joined the party on the VIP stage, where Grey Goose cocktails and shots of Patron Platinum were the drink of choice -- except for Eva who opted for Fiji Water.
The Hollywood celebs were also joined by an A-list of sports figures including Larry Johnson, all pro running back of the Kansas City Chiefs, who was sipping Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Champagne while he chatted up Lamar Odom of the Los Angeles Lakers, Rudy Gay of the Memphis Grizzlies, the Milwaukee Bucks dynamic duo of Damon Jones and Tyronn Lue and Stephan Bonner of UFC fame.

Barack Obamas Family pictures

STAYING CLOSE

Barack held Malia, 9, and Sasha, 7, at an event in Fort Wayne, Indiana on May 4. "When I call them, they say, 'Daddy, what did you do today?' I say, 'Well, I spoke to 35,000 people,'" Obama said in April. "[They respond] like, 'Boring!'"

ELECTION NIGHT

Barack and Michelle cuddled their daughters as they waited for the results of his senate race on November 2, 2004. "Sasha has a mischievous glint and Malia is more serious,"

Jennifer Aniston

One-sixth of the superstar sextet of NBC's Friends, Aniston has become the most successful of the bunch with leading roles in hits like Bruce Almighty, Along Came Polly and The Break Up. Although better known as a sappy-sweet good girl than daring sexpot, Aniston has tried spicing up her image more recently. Following a broken engagement with actor Tate Donovan in the mid-90s, Aniston climbed the rungs of celebrity love with her marriage to Brad Pitt in 2000. The two divorced five years later in 2005, when Pitt left Aniston for his Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar, Angelina Jolie. Following the breakup, Aniston became involved with her Break-Up costar Vince Vaughn in 2006. The two officially split in October of 2006. In April 2008, Aniston was spotted around town with John Mayer. In June, it became apparent that things were getting serious when Aniston introduced her new beau to BFF Courteney Cox. In March of 2008, Aniston and producing partner Kristin Hahn - who have been working together since Aniston was a partner with ex Brad Pitt in the production company Plan B - formed a new production company, Echo Films.

Nick replied, "It's cool."
Would you see her outside of work, Seacrest asked.
"I probably would," Nick said.
Do you know when her birthday is, Seacrest asked.
"I do when her birthday is," Nick replied.

It is a kind of virus that was spread by one of the spammers who just want to destroy files online but fortunately this morning it was already back to normal. I would like to encourage developers and website owners to protect there sites from the the bad elements.

Vanessa hudgens wear a variety of dresses for a photo shoot

Vanessa Hudgens turns on the charm for a photo shoot at a house in the Hollywood Hills on Thursday. (Yes, she was headed to this shoot in the pics yesterday as she was covering her face and smiling.)
The 19-year-old “High School Musical” star wore a variety of dresses for the pictures including a floaty halter dress and an asymmetrical purple satin gown, which got wet in the pool!

Zac Efrons real life girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens

Are Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie of the teen set? The High School Musical costars made for a decidedly wholesome power couple at Tuesday night's Hairspray premiere in L.A. Efron, 19, who plays hunky Link Larkin in the film, and Hudgens, 18, arrived separately to the Mann Village Theater in Westwood, but reunited once inside and cozied up to watch the movie with the rest of the Hairspray cast, including John Travolta and Michelle Pfeiffer. Afterwards, the pair held hands as they navigated their way through the afterparty at the Ackerman Union on the UCLA campus, which had been transformed into an ultra-modern blue and white lounge. Each Hairspray star had his or her own table, and at Efron's, he and Hudgens were joined by their fellow High School Musical alum, Ashley Tisdale. But Efron, bombarded by fans requesting photos and industry types eager to shake his hand, was far too busy to socialize with his pals, or even scarf down a cheeseburger.

Ryan Gosling deejay debut in Green Door lounge in Hollywood

Ryan Gosling made his deejay debut Tuesday night at Green Door lounge in Hollywood, with a surprising guest in the crowd – his ex-girlfriend Rachel McAdams. Arriving at 9 p.m., the actor settled into what is said to be a weekly gig at the lounge's Tuesday jazz night. McAdams arrived later "supporting Ryan," says a Gosling pal. "They talked when he was away from the deejay stand," says the friend. "They really looked like good pals. He seemed happy to see her." For Gosling, deejaying is "a pretty new thing for him," says the friend. "He's been messing around. He's really into music, and he's a fan of the night – and here he is." Spinning tunes from the '40s and '50s, Gosling, 27, was dressed from the era, sporting a white T, black pants and motorcycle jacket. Along with McAdams other celebs on hand were Catherine Keener, Shane West and hockey ace Sean Avery, who chatted up an enamored Keener. Once the live jazz band took the stage, Gosling mingled with friends and hung out on the patio.

Tom Cruise lovestory

Never one to sit on the sidelines – unless he's rooting for his kids at a sports game – Tom Cruise loves a big gesture, whether it's couch jumping on Oprah or doing his own stunts. The Oscar-nominated actor, who once considered becoming a Catholic priest, now belongs to the Church of Scientology, which he believes helped him overcome dyslexia. His divorce from Nicole Kidman drew attention, but not nearly as much as his whirlwind romance with Katie Holmes. Before Holmes gave birth to daughter Suri, Cruise criticized actress Brooke Shields for taking antidepressants for postpartum depression. Though he has since apologized, Paramount Pictures severed their 14-year relationship, claiming that his off-screen antics hurt ticket sales. Cruise has since signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. to resurrect United Artists, where he will star in and produce films.

Barton sipped some white wine, and the pair stayed together all night. • Paris Hilton, curled up with some magazines in business class on an American Airlines flight from New York to Los Angeles. The heiress, who attended beau Benji Madden's concert in New York, got comfy in her black and white hoodie with her own blanket and pillow, which she carried on the flight. Hilton was escorted to the plane before other passengers and slept throughout the flight. When she landed in L.A., she hit the bathroom to touch up her lip gloss and apply some makeup. • Jennifer Garner, dropping by kid-friendly Giggles N' Hugs restaurant in Brentwood, Calif., with daughter Violet, 2. The duo appeared to be on a playdate with one of Garner's friends.
