Madonna Says "No" To Air Conditioning


Madonna has reportedly banned husband Guy Ritchie from her bedroom while she's on her world tour - because he likes the air conditioning on.

The singer apparently decided the filmmaker would have to sleep in a different hotel room if he wanted the air on at night - because she's terrified the cold air could affect her voice. A source is quoted in Britain's The People newspaper as saying: "Madge can't sleep with the air conditioning on because she gets too cold and it dries her throat out, which can lead to a husky voice."

The 47-year-old - who is performing a string of sold-out dates across the globe - has banned air conditioning from her entire tour.

Meanwhile, Madonna reportedly laughed "hysterically" after being told pop rival Mariah Carey had to cancel several tour dates due to poor ticket sales. The 'Hung Up' singer was said to have gleefully welcomed the news that Mariah had to shelve a host of US shows because of a lack of interest.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Madonna laughed hysterically. She has been asking her tour promoters to email her Mariah's sales."

Ha


New dad Jack Black is "furious" he hasn't received any multi-million dollar offers from magazines for photos of his new son Samuel, and blames the recent spate of high-profile births for "flooding the market". Black joins other recent celebrity dads including Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Adam Sandler and Gavin Rossdale.

He explains, "We do have some offers from some major magazines. Popular Mechanics was talking about something..." "To tell you the truth I'm a little insulted, 'cause nobody cares about my sweet baby." "The market is flooded. Tom Cruise has got his baby everywhere! Nobody cares about Baby Black!"

RIP, Eddie


Moose, the feisty Jack Russell terrier who played Eddie for 10 years on TV's Frasier, has died, his trainer Mathilde Halberg stated.

"He was 16-and-a-half years old, and he just had an incredible charisma and was a such a free spirit," said Halberg. Moose, considered the Lassie of the '90s, died Thursday night of old age at Halberg's Los Angeles-area home.

Moose retired from showbiz when he was 10, and, although he also played a starring role in the 2000 Frankie Muniz-Kevin Bacon feature My Dog Skip (as the older Skip), he was best known for stealing scenes from Kelsey Grammer on the long-running Emmy-winning NBC sitcom.

"He was always trying to put Frasier in uncomfortable circumstances," said his trainer, who had rescued him in the early 1990s. "I saved him from the pound. His owners called me as a last resort," Halberg recalled. "He was extremely mischievous, always escaping, chewing up things and running off. When he killed a neighbor's cat and chased some horses, that was it."

Kidman Weds Urban


Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have gotten married, reps for the couple have confirmed.

The all-candlelight ceremony took place just after sundown Sunday night at Sydney, Australia's Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on St. Patrick's Estate at Manly. Guests at the black-tie event included Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts and Rupert Murdoch.

Kidman's wedding party consisted of her sister Antonia, who was her maid of honor, and daughter Isabella, 13, who was her bridesmaid. Antonia's daughter, Lucia, was a flower girl. On the groom's side were Urban's brother Shane, who served as best man, and longtime buddy Marlon Holden, who produced Urban's first solo album in 1991.

Kidman wore a dress by Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga. Her father, Antony, walked her down the aisle under the dramatic glow of a spotlight. She kept her veil on throughout the ceremony, only lifting it when it came time to say the (very traditional) vows. The flowers were white freesias, gardenias and carnations arranged by Sydney florist Saskia Havekes.

Kidman got ready at her home in Sydney's Darling Point with Isabella and son Connor, 11, and drove to Manly with her father in a white Rolls Royce. Bella and Antonia rode just ahead of them in a matching white Rolls Royce.

"Nicole cried all the way to the church in the car and then she cried all during the ceremony and had to wipe her eyes under the veil," a guest said. "It was the most emotional and beautiful ceremony. Nicole looked ethereal with her veil floating, like a vision in white. ... Keith cried when he looked at her. "It was so intense," the guest says. "When her veil was lifted, he moved right in and he grabbed her and kissed her. It was a long, passionate kiss. (Then) everything went from being quiet and elegant and intense to really loud, like we were suddenly at a soccer game. There was screaming and hollering and such excitement.

"But when Nicole and Keith looked at each other it was like they were the only two people in the room. They are so deeply in love. It was the most incredible wedding." In lieu of gifts, guests were asked to donate to the Sydney Children's Hospital.

Both Jackman and Crowded House's Neil Finn performed at the reception, which had a "passion" theme and red color scheme – including red carnations hanging from huge chandeliers and red roses on the tables. Later in the evening, the newlyweds released a statement: "We just want to thank everyone in Australia and around the world who have sent us their warm wishes."

Em's Down Time


Rap star Eminem is struggling with depression due to the traumatic events of the past year, including the death of his best friend and a second divorce.

The star's D12 bandmate and friend Proof was shot dead in April after a dramatic incident at a Detroit nightclub. Just a few days earlier it was announced that Eminem was filing for divorce, after remarrying wife Kim only 82 days previously.

Dennis Dennehy, a spokesman for the icon, divulged yesterday that the singer's condition was improving and that anti-depressants were contributing to a recovery. "Obviously he's grieving. He is depressed as anyone would be if they lost someone that close," Dennehy told the New York Daily News.

However, he was quick to brush off any suggestions that the illness was affecting the star's career. Dennehy stated: "Eminem had said he was taking some time off before this happened. This is his downtime."

Marcia Cross Weds


Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross and stockbroker Tom Mahoney were married on Saturday.

"It was a beautiful ceremony," a rep for Cross said. "They're very happy."

The bride wore a gown by Reem Acra at the ceremony, which took place before about 200 guests at the Church of Our Savior Episcopal Parish in San Gabriel, Calif. In lieu of bridesmaids, Cross had seven flower girls, ranging in age from 3 to 12 – the children of some of her closest friends.

This is the first marriage for both. Cross, 44, and Mahoney, 48, were first spotted together in March 2005, when they took a weekend ski trip to Deer Valley, Utah.

Does This End The Feud?


E. Pierce Marshall, who feuded for years with former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith over his father's oil fortune, has died, his spokesman said Friday. He was 67.

Marshall died unexpectedly Tuesday evening in the Dallas area from a brief and extremely aggressive infection, the family said in a written statement released through spokesman David Margulies. He declined to provide additional details.

"The family would politely request that their privacy be respected during this extremely difficult time as they grapple with this devastating loss," the statement said.

Smith married Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994, when she was 26 and he was 89. He died the following year. Since then, E. Pierce Marshall has been locked in a legal battle over her entitlement to the estate. The U.S. Supreme Court last month revived former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith's pursuit of her late husband's oil fortune, ruling Monday that the one-time stripper deserves another day in court.

The case has had twists and turns. Smith won a $474 million judgment, which was cut to about $89 million and eventually reduced to zero.

McShane Not Happy


British actor Ian McShane is furious over the way cable network HBO cancelled his acclaimed western series Deadwood.

The network pulled the plug on Deadwood last month, just weeks before the show's third season began. And McShane, who won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Al Swearengen in the drama, is unhappy with the decision.

He tells the New York Daily News, "I thought the whole thing was handled shabbily. But what the f**k, HBO and Deadwood have been very good to me. However, I think what's been lost in everybody slapping each other on the back, with a possible two two-hour movies to wrap up the series after this season, is that Deadwood is one of the most acclaimed series on TV. A truly great show. So I was initially shocked. And now I'm sad. You'll never know what the f**k really happened. And we'll see if the two-hour movies come to fruition or not. Part of me prefers it to six one-hour shows, because in a two-hour movie you can play with space and time and cover more material.

Look, I loved playing this part. I love the way HBO handled everything up to this point. I think we needed four or five seasons to finish telling the story. I just thought it was odd to cancel the series before season three was even on the air. Whether this was some devious publicity ploy to get more people to watch or not, who knows. But the f**king story of Deadwood wasn't finished, man. So I'm sad about it being cancelled like this."

Breaking News



TV mogul Aaron Spelling, whose unparalleled string of hits ran from The Mod Squad in the '60s to today's 7th Heaven, died in his mansion near Beverly Hills on Friday. He was 83.

Spelling passed away at 6:25 p.m., his publicist, Kevin Sasaki, said. The cause of death was complications from the stroke he'd suffered on June 18. Spelling's wife, Candy, and son Randy, 27, were by his side. It was not known whether his actress daughter Tori, 33, was present.

On Wednesday, Tori Spelling said and her new husband, Dean McDermott, planned to fly home from Canada to be with her father. "Dean and I will be traveling back to Los Angeles to be by my dad's side," she said. The next day, Randy Spelling addressed rumors of family tensions. "The truth is that we love each other very much," he said in a statement. "This isn't Dynasty; this is real life, and we're dealing with my dad's medical condition with his best interests at heart, and as a family."

In his long career, Spelling produced some 200 shows, including Starsky and Hutch, Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, Vegas, Hart to Hart, Dynasty, T.J. Hooker, Fantasy Island, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place and Charmed.
