50 Cent said that he has already been cleared in the investigation on the suspicious fire that burned down his Long Island home which was then being occupied by his ex. However, it seems that the rapper was lying. A statement from 50 read “The police department and insurance investigators ruled that there is absolutely no proof or evidence suggesting that Curtis Jackson or any affiliated parties were involved. Curtis Jackson has just been cleared of all the accusations. The investigation will continue until the guilty party is found.” However, Detective Thomas Wieland of the Suffolk County police debunked the claims and said that the case is still open either way.
Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway and Shirley MacLaine are all in talks to appear in a star-studded romantic comedy.
In a movie that mirrors Love, Actually and He’s Just Not Into You, the threesome will play alongside Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Ashton Kutcher and Bradley Cooper in Valentine’s Day.
The film follows five interconnecting stories happening in Los Angeles on the most romantic day of the year.
Roberts, 41, will play an army officer on leave from Iraq. Her character is on a flight to Los Angeles with Cooper – the 34-year-old who was in He’s Just Not That Into You.
This time he will play a gay man whose lover is a closeted football player.
Kutcher, 31, is a florist who proposes to his girlfriend, played by Alba, 28, only to realise he is in love with his close friend Garner. But Garner, 37, finds out that her boyfriend is married.
In the meantime MacLaine, 75, who plays Roberts’s mother, reveals to her husband that she once had an affair.
Hathaway, 26, is an assistant at the biggest talent agency in town but she is dating the mailroom assistant. In contrast Biel, 27, is a publicist who hasn’t got a date on Valentine’s Day.
There are still roles to be filled in this project that Garry Marshall is set to direct – most notably MacLaine’s husband and the mailroom worker.
Marshall launched Roberts’ career by directing her in another successful romantic comedy, Pretty Woman (1990).
Talk-show host Oprah Winfrey has called author James Frey to apologise for savaging him on air.
Oprah launched a famous tirade against Frey after he admitted he made up key parts of his heart-wrenching ‘memoir’, A Million Little Pieces, a book she helped make a runaway bestseller through endorsing it.
Now Frey has revealed that Oprah called him in person to apologise for how severely she treated him.
And she told him that the spark for her change of heart came while meditating.
“It was a nice surprise to hear from her, and I really appreciated the call and the sentiment,” says Frey. “When I heard her say, ‘I felt I owe you an apology’, I was very grateful.”
Oprah told him that she had an epiphany while meditating, realising that her uncharacteristically harsh attack came from her own ego feeling betrayed.
Frey added: “As far as I’m concerned, that part of my career is over and behind me and I’m looking forward to writing more books.”
