Pamela Anderson's Old and Racy PETA Clip Banned From Airport

A racy animal rights advert featuring Pamela Anderson has been banned from an airport in Boston, Massachusetts after officials deemed the promo too risque. Anderson is seen posing as a scantily-clad member of airport security staff in the clip for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which was to be shown on Logan International Airport's Wi-Fi internet network.

She is seen stripping passengers, including "Jackass" star Steve-O and comic Andy Dick, of their leather, fur and other animal products as they pass through security checks. But officials at the airport have banned the clip, claiming it is unsuitable to be seen by passengers, according to the Boston Herald.

A PETA spokesperson says, "Given the groping that you see at security checkpoints - and the nudity that you see in body scans - we're surprised that our lighthearted ad was deemed too risque."

Last year, the same advert was banned from all three New York City airports by officials amid fears it would offend passengers with young children.

John Travolta Releases Legal Papers Against Gay Sex Life Story

John Travolta had his team dismissing a gay secret life report, hours before his wife Kelly Preston gave birth to their second son Benjamin. Travolta's team has shot off a five-page legal papers to Gawker, a site which ran a story that the actor has a habit of hooking up with men at Los Angeles sauna.

In the legal papers, which were obtained by Gossip Cop, Travolta's attorney Marty Singer called Gawker's posting "false and outrageous". Gawker itself ran the story with headline read "The Secret Sex Life of John Travolta" based on Robert Randolph's claim which the writer also exposed in his self-published book entitled "You'll Never Spa in This Town Again".

To Gawker, Randolph claimed he had watched Travolta had sex with several men in different occasions and he went on alleging the "Old Dogs" star once seduced him when they "were both next to each other in the steam room". Singer, however, described Randolph's stories as "blatant defamatory lies" from a "patently unreliable source."

Singer even blasted Randolph by pointing out that the "author" acknowledged on his own website that he suffered "permanent brain damage" in 2003. Singer went on saying that Randolph's stories "go back fifteen years, yet inexplicably, he has waited until now to peddle these phony tall tales."

Singer noted that the idea Travolta "engaged in multiple adulterous sexual encounters in different public locations in Los Angeles (where he does not live), and that each time, the (nonexistent) events were coincidentally witnessed by (Randolph), is absolutely ridiculous."

And in the legal papers, Singer demanded Gawker to immediately and permanently removed the "Secret Sex Life of John Travolta" post and "publication of an unequivocal and prominent retraction of the false and defamatory statements."

Denise Richards to Fully Co-Operate With Cops in Charlie Sheen Hotel Case

Denise Richards is working with New York police detectives investigating a harassment complaint filed against her ex-husband Charlie Sheen following an incident in a hotel room with adult actress Capri Anderson. The "Two and a Half Men" star hit headlines in October when cops were called to his suite at Manhattan's plush Plaza Hotel over reports he had trashed his room during a night of passion with Anderson.

She claimed she was forced to lock herself in the bathroom after the actor accused her of taking his watch and began hurling insults at her and throwing items around the suite. The 22 year old subsequently filed a second-degree harassment charge against Sheen. Richards had visited her ex-husband on the day of the alleged incident and is said to have been staying across the hall from Sheen's hotel room when the fallout occurred.

Sources tell TMZ.com the former Bond girl went into Sheen's room after the altercation to see if there was anything that could be gathered as evidence in a police investigation. Richards' representatives were contacted by investigators on Tuesday, November 23 and the actress has agreed to "fully co-operate" with the case.

Detectives have also contacted Sheen's manager, Mark Burg, to ask for an interview in connection with Anderson's criminal complaint, according to the website. Initial reports suggested Anderson would file a complaint against Sheen for battery and false imprisonment, but the New York Post states the brunette made no claim that the TV star had injured her.

Sheen's lawyers have strongly denied the accusations and filed their own lawsuit in Los Angeles on Monday, November 22, accusing Anderson of extortion. His lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, as well as "compensatory damages" of at least $165,000 for the watch he claims Anderson took during their encounter.

PSA: Justin Bieber Urges Fans to Take Action Against Bullying

Justin Bieber has stood up against bullying. The teen singer, who recently claimed he has been a victim of bully, taped a 21-second PSA called "It Gets Better", urging fans to tell someone if they are bullied and take action if person close to them becomes a victim of bullying.

"Hey guys, I'm Justin Bieber. I just wanted to say there's nothing cool about being a bully. And if you're getting bullied, make sure to tell someone and, you know, it gets better," Bieber, in a black T-shirt and backward black baseball cap, said. "And if you're a bystander, make sure to step in and, you know, help out."

Bieber talked about his own bullying experience during his recent visit to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". He shared, "On my YouTube page, there are so many haters. They just say crazy stuff. Like, I'm not mad, I'm 16 and I don't have chest hair. I'm not angry about it at the moment. That will come. People are like, 'Look at him, he puts helium in his voice before he sings.' You just have to laugh at yourself."

Bieber joined the list of celebrities who have supported the "It Gets Better" anti-bullying campaign. Linkin Park's Chester Bennington, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Adam Lambert, Aubrey O'Day, and even U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were among them.

Paris Hilton Files Counter-Suit Against Hair Extension Company

Socialite Paris Hilton has filed a counter-suit against the bosses of a hair extension company in an ongoing breach of contract dispute. The hotel heiress was paid $3.5 million in 2007 to endorse Hairtech's Dream Catchers range, but Hairtech International executives slapped her with legal papers in August, accusing Hilton of reneging on her contract by allegedly wearing competitors' pieces.

Hilton's attorneys vowed to fight the $35 million suit, insisting it lacked merit, and last Friday, November 19, they followed through on the promise by challenging the charges in Los Angeles Superior Court.

In the counter-suit, obtained by TMZ, Hilton claims she was "professional and honorable" in her promotion of the Hairtech product, and she was even praised by the company's boss in an email after a promo shoot. She is demanding $3 million in compensation, in addition to punitive damages.

World-Famous Hindu Temple Named After Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie has been handed a major unofficial honor in her adopted son Maddox's native Cambodia - a world-famous Hindu temple has been named after her. Rajan Zed, the president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, tells WENN the movie star is so beloved in Cambodia one religious site in Angkor has been renamed the Angelina Jolie Temple.

He says, "It's a 12th century site called Ta Prohm; it is otherwise known as Old Brahma and was initially named Rajavihara or the royal monastery. Now it's popularly called the Angelina Jolie Temple. It was said to be the setting for various scenes in the first 'Tomb Raider' film... Local restaurants sell 'Tomb Raider' cocktails and she appears to be the patron saint of Cambodia."

Sandra Bullock Not in Process to Adopt a Daughter

Though Sandra Bullock is blessed having adopted son Louis Bardot Bullock, the Oscar-winning actress is not yet planning to adopt another child. Star Magazine claimed Sandra "is in the process of adopting again" but the actress' rep has shot down the rumor, calling it "completely false."

In its newest issue, Star quoted a source as saying, "(Sandra) knows one is not enough. She can't wait to relive this whole experience with another child - this time she wants a girl." The publication went on reporting that the "All About Steve" star uses the same New Orleans agency which found her Louis.

"They already have the initial paperwork from the first time around, and they have several children who need homes now," the insider was stating as quoted by the publication. The article went on rattling that the "Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous" actress "can't wait" to "shop and do their nails together."

Sandra revealed for the first time that she has adopted Louis back in April. Sandra at that time said that she began the adoption process with then-husband Jesse James four years ago and took the tot home in January this year but decided to keep it for themselves. However, due to Jesse's infidelity, Sandra finalized the adoption as a single parent.

Rihanna: I Could Be a Mom in a Year From Now

Rihanna is beginning to think about starting a family with baseball player boyfriend Matt Kemp, but insists she'd have to put her career on hold to become a mum. The pop star, who debuted her new album "Loud" in the U.S. top five on Wednesday, insists she's not pregnant right now but accepts she could be a first-time mum in a year.

She tells Interview magazine, "It could be a year from now. It could be 10 years from now. Whenever is right. I mean, I have a lot of other stuff to accomplish before I get to kids. Whenever the time is right, I'll just know." And she insists she'll make a great mum - unless her first child is a daughter: "If I had a girl, she'd probably be really rebellious. She would be like a bundle of karma."

Rihanna is also considering where she'd like to raise a family, admitting her dream of returning home to Barbados is a little far fetched. She adds, "I can't live that far away from everything now, without kids, so I certainly couldn't raise kids (there) with the demanding schedule that I have."

Anil Kapoor gives preference to KBC over MI4

Anil Kapoor can’t get over his roots – so much so that he took time off from the shooting of ‘Mission: Impossible 4′ with Tom Cruise to appear on the game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC), hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.

Anil, who is shooting for the fourth instalment of the iconic action-adventure series with Cruise in Dubai, requested the MI4 team to wrap up the shoot as quickly as possible as it was clashing with his date for the game show in Mumbai.

The actor, who rose to prominence in the West after his stint as a game show host in Danny Boyle’s multiple Oscar-award winning underdog drama ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, was in Mumbai Sunday to shoot the special episode to promote his forthcoming laugh riot ‘No Problem’, said a statement from the film’s promotional team.

Also joining him on the hot seat were co-stars Sanjay Dutt and Kangana Ranaut.

Black Eyed Peas have released a music video for "The Time (Dirty Bit)" which is lifted from the group's latest studio album "The Beginning". Sampling the "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack "(I've Had) The Time of My Life", the song is the first single from the November 30 effort.

The music video, which was released via Dipdive, stays true to the up-beat mood, showing club scenes as well as fast-moving city life. It also shows will.i.am and his friends in their avatar versions which are used on the album's cover art. The video was shot in Los Angeles last month.

Talking about their next tour, will.i.am said this is the kind of song that would get people in the mood when performed live in a big venue. "It's like you're there with all your friends," the MC told Billboard. "You're there in front of 50,000 people and they're there to watch you and your friends. Nothing gets any better than that. It's the best feeling, the best one yet."

A world tour will be kicked off February next year after they perform at the half-time of Super Bowl XLV.
