| Depp's Daughter Had E. Coli Virus |
 Johnny Depp's daughter Lily-Rose was lucky to survive a battle with the deadly E. coli virus, according to reports. The 7-year-old was hospitalized in London earlier this month suffering a mystery illness. It was reported at the time that she had contracted blood poisoning after stepping on a rusty nail. But a member of the production crew on Depp's new movie Sweeney Todd claims her kidneys were shut down by the virus, which is caught through infected food and drink. A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Everyone gasped when we were given the real reason for Lily-Rose's illness. It was touch and go for a while." Filming on Sweeney Todd--directed by Tim Burton--was stalled while Depp and partner Vanessa Paradis kept a bedside vigil for Lily-Rose. It is due to resume next week. |

| Lohan Gets Candid in Rehab Interview |
 Lindsay Lohan conducted her most recent magazine expose via her handheld BlackBerry from rehab. The actress/singer posed for provocative GQ magazine photos late last year and then conducted the accompanying interview with reporter Marshall Sella from Los Angeles rehab clinic Wonderland. When quizzed about her love life, the Mean Girls star replied by e-mail from her BlackBerry, "I need a boyfriend... There are three different boys I like, maybe five." And she revealed she was making plans to settle down upon leaving the treatment center, and give up her wild life--after buying two puppy companions. She tells GQ, "I bought two puppies today. Sober impulse buying of companions who will help me stay home." Lohan has since checked out of Wonderland and is now working on a new movie. |

| Photographer: 'Reeves Ran Me Down Then Tried to Flee' |
 Keanu Reeves was handcuffed by police after allegedly running over a photographer attempting to flee the scene. The 42-year-old Matrix star has been accused of hitting Brazilian male paparazzo Alison Silva with his Porsche as he left a clinic in Torrance, California, on Tuesday night. Silva was later treated for a broken wrist and other injuries. According to reports, Reeves was handcuffed by cops but later released after he gave a statement. A police spokesman says, "Mr. Reeves said he was trying to pull away from the curb. As he pulled away, the photographer called out, 'Ah, my knee,' and Mr. Reeves pulled over." But Silva claims Reeves drove straight for him--and then tried to flee. He says, "I have never had anybody going after me like this--like he wanted to kill me. After I took his picture he was driving away from me. But then he turned around in a circle and drove straight at me. "The can bonnet hit me in the knees. I was lying in the street. Keanu kept saying, 'Oh, my God, what have I done?' "He was going away until he saw someone had seen the whole thing." Reeves will find out next week if he is to be charged. |

| Campbell Begins Community Service |
 Former supermodel Naomi Campbell began mopping floors at New York's Sanitation Department earlier today. The British beauty will perform cleaning duties for five days, after being ordered by a Manhattan judge earlier this year to undertake community service as punishment for throwing a cell phone at maid Ana Scolavino. Campbell has been allowed to perform her cleaning duties in private, in a bid to avoid the press furor that surrounded pop star Boy George's community service stint in the city last year. Despite being warned by sanitation boss Albert Durrell "not to wear heels" to work, Campbell arrived at the Lower East Side building at 8 a.m. in a pair of stiletto boots, although she was also carrying a pair of work shoes. |

| Lohan Fumes as DJ Set Is Interrupted by Snappers |
 Lindsay Lohan hurled obscenities at a nightclub crowd in New York on Thursday night when fans refused to stop taking photographs of the actress as she hosted a DJ set. The Mean Girls star, who recently underwent counseling to curb her wild ways, was DJing at Manhattan's Plumm nightclub when she lost her temper as fans kept 'flashing' her. Lohan turned off the music from the DJ booth and reportedly screamed at the snap-happy fans, "If I see one more f**king flashbulb go off, I'm going to stop the music and I'm out of here." Fans took her threat seriously and the rest of her DJ set went smoothly. It was a tense night for Lohan--she demanded club owners hire extra security to make sure her estranged father, who was released from prison earlier in the week after serving time for assault, didn't get access. Sources tell Web site TMZ.com that Lohan handed bouncers a photograph of her father, Michael, and told them to keep him out if he showed up. Upon his release from jail, Michael Lohan revealed he wanted to reconcile with his famous daughter. |

| Jolie and Pitt's Son Maddox Helps Welcome New Brother |
 Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's son Maddox welcomed his new brother into the family by holding the orphan's hand as he left the Vietnamese institute where he has grown up. Jolie and her 5-year-old son arrived at the Tam Binh orphanage outside Ho Chi Minh City, where the actress' new son has spent the last three years, earlier today after flying into Vietnam late on Wednesday. Mother and Maddox were greeted by approximately 20 children dressed in traditional Vietnamese tunics and offering flowers as they embarked on the final stages of the adoption procedure. Orphanage director Nguyen Van Trung insists Jolie has made a wise choice in the 3-and-a-half-year-old boy, whose name has been changed from Pham Quang Sang to Pax Thien by the actress. Van Trung says, "He's the smartest and cleverest among the kids." But the adoption almost hit a late hiccup, according to the orphanage boss: "I was a bit worried in the morning. When Sang saw Jolie and two of her big bodyguards, he moved back and cried. Jolie kneeled down and gradually went closer to him. It took about 20 minutes for her to reach him."
Van Trung added that "after Jolie made acquaintance with him, he cheered up and trusted her right away." Maddox also attempted to soothe his new brother by holding his hand. The orphanage director adds, "He was very friendly to Sang." |
