Sugababes Star Convicted Of Assault

 

Sugababes singer Amelle Berrabah has been found guilty of assaulting a girl in a London nightclub.
Amelle appeared in the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court to face charges after a run-in with Danielle Dodoo at Alto, the nightclub owned by the star’s boyfriend Tom Benn.

"She was slurring," Dodoo told the court. "She kind of leaned up towards my face and said something like she was going to bite my nose off. She had her hand around my neck and it must have been there for a few seconds."
The Freedom star denied the assault but was found guilty. She was given a conditional discharge and ordered to pay £250 compensation.
After the ruling, Amelle issued a public apology to her fans: “Following my conviction for assault today, I would like to offer my unreserved apologies to the band's fans, my bandmates, our record label and my family," she said.

But she added that she believed the girl had deliberately provoked her. "Although I was subjected to provocation on the evening in question I do not condone violence under any circumstances and would urge anybody who finds themselves in similar circumstances to show restraint and walk away."

Keira Knightley does it again

KEIRA Knightley did it twice yesterday. Just the once is usually enough for us. But then again, we're not Keira Knightley. And we don't have red carpets to sashay down in Venice. Sigh. Yesterday we showed Keira turning heads - getting out of a motorboat, natch - in a patterned Mary Katrantzou dress. And now we can share pictures of her looking angelic in the Valentino couture dress she wore to the premiere of her new film A Dangerous Method. The ornate long-sleeved gown featured gold applique and lace detailing, while the Atonement star kept it low-key in the make-up department with simply tied-back hair and smokey eyes.

Taylor Swift is reportedly dating an older man

 

The 21-year-old country singer is spending time with Jason Mraz who is 13 years her senior, according to Life & Style.
Jason joined Taylor onstage for a duet of his song I’m Yours during the Los Angeles leg of her Speak Now tour.
“He asked her out on a date and she said yes,” an insider told the magazine. “Jason and Taylor have been talking and he’s taking her out on a real date.”
Taylor seems to have a liking for older men after dating a few in the past.
She reportedly had a short-lived relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal, 30, but he is said to have ended it because things were going too fast.
Taylor also dated bad boy John Mayer, 33, but their romance also did not last long.
“Taylor was head over heels for John [Mayer],” an insider revealed when the couple dated. “She thought he was in love with her but he just wanted to have fun.”
