Prince Harry is on a plane out of Afghanistan.

“He has left the base and is en route to another location,” the source reports.

The 23-year-old royal has been serving there with British troops since December.

“We will not comment on the whereabouts of Prince Harry,” a Ministry of Defense spokesperson says.

Defense Secretary Des Browne said in a statement, “I am delighted that Prince Harry has had the opportunity to serve on operations in Afghanistan with his Battlegroup. In common with all the other British soldiers in Afghanistan he has done so with courage and distinction. We can be proud of him and all his fellow soldiers - we owe them all a great deal. The British media have shown great restraint in not reporting his deployment and I would like to thank them for doing so. It is however a great pity that the news has now been broken by media overseas.”

Harry’s deployment was widely posted after an item on the Drudge Report.

The latest buzz on Britney’s boys: They got haircuts!

Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 17 months, debuted their shorter new ‘dos during an outing with grandma Lynne today at Kevin Federline’s house in L.A.’s Tarzana area.

They took a ride in a red toy convertible as Lynne chatted with the boys’ nanny. Afterwards they visited their mom Britney.

The pop singer reunited with her boys after seven weeks of estrangement this past Saturday.

What is cuter than two little boys in a red wagon?  Precious!

Kate Hudson still calls Chris Robinson her hubby!

“The other day, I told someone my husband was coming over, and they said, ‘You mean your ex-husband’ and I said, ‘Oh, whatever!’” Kate, 28, dishes in the April issue of Elle UK about Chris, 41 (who divorced her in October).

“I do love my ex. Even if your romantic relationship no longer works, your family one still can,” the Fool’s Gold star (who has reportedly been hooking up recently with off-again, on-again squeeze Owen Wilson, 39 — and has been rumored to be pregnant with a second child) continues.

“Chris and I did not look at this from the beginning as any kind of traditional marriage: It’s about being a family forever — and we are. Whatever man I end up with, I will always love Chris.” Read the rest of this entry »

According to the Daily Mail:

“Prince Harry has been fighting the Taliban on the front line in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence confirmed today.”

“The 23-year-old Household Cavalry officer has spent the past 10 weeks secretly serving in war-ravaged Helmand Province.”

“The deployment had been cloaked in secrecy under a news blackout deal agreed across the UK media to prevent details reaching the Taliban and endangering Harry and his comrades. But the arrangement broke down today after news was leaked out on the US website the Drudge Report.”

“As part of the deal a group of journalists had visited the prince in Helmand on condition that details would only be publicized once he was safely back in the UK.”

“The deal was arranged after Harry’s planned tour to Iraq last year had to be cancelled because of a security risk sparked by publicity.”

The Hogan family has had so much drama over the past year! And now, another bit of juicy gossip is surfacing.

Reports are surfacing that the Hulk Hogan had an affair while he was still living with his wife, prompting Linda Hogan to file for divorce from him. A divorce that’s recently turned quite ugly .

But what makes it even more interesting is that dear old Hulk allegedly had an affair with a friend of his daughter, Brooke.

Christiane Plante, a 33 year old friend who worked with Brooke on her bomb of a 2006 album, has confessed to The National Enquirer about her affair.

Christiane states, “My relationship with Terry [Hulk Hogan] began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending. She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed. Terry is a good man, good father and a good friend, and he and I grew close at a time when he was going through a very difficult period. It seemed right then, but I know it was wrong.”

“Having felt the guilt and pain build up, I gave a note to Brooke apologising for my actions,” adds whorish Christiane. “I will never be able to fully forgive myself for this. I have lost an amazing friend.”

Notice how she feels badly about the affair, but not so bad about talking to a tabloid about it. She was probably paid handsomely for the story!

The affair allegedly took place last year, while the family was still shooting their reality TV show and Hukl and Linda had yet to split.

Apparently Brooke is so distraught, she has even posted this ominous entry on her official blog.

i never thought…

Current mood: sad
Category: Life

When your best friend and one of your closest family members that you have loved unconditionally since your first day on this earth, betrays you together, you could MAYBE find it in yourself to forgive one day… but you will NEVER forget the hurt they caused you and how it hurt the people who mean the most to you…its the worst feeling in the world to be betrayed. And worse to know you can never trust the one you should be able to…

Stay strong, Brooke!

Would you pay $3,600 to walk on your tippy-toes?

Victoria Beckham already has a pair of these Antonio Beradri 5-and-a-half-inch heel-less heels in snakeskin, while Gwyneth Paltrow and Uma Thurman purchased a patent leather version at the bargain price of $2,200, according to the Daily Mail.

If you are wondering how these shoes function, the wearer walks around with all her weight balanced on a thickened platform sole.

They are going on sale in Browns stores in London, where they have to be ordered up to five weeks in advance.

Lincolnshire-born Berardi, 39, said he was inspired by Latin American music and 1980s post-modernism, adding: “When you walk, it is almost on tiptoe. You look really dainty.”

A spokesman for his Paris-based fashion house said: “The shoe has a bigger platform sole which stretches back further than normal and gives support under the arch of the foot.

“When walking though, you have to put your toe rather than your heel down first and you cannot wear them for very long.

“They are not dangerous because you would have to lean quite far back before you fell over.”

Podiatrists, who have already warned about the health impact of high heels, were less impressed.

Wow!

Jay Leno, who will leave “The Tonight Show” next year to make way for Conan O’Brien, is not allowed to negotiate for a new job until November 2009. But his suitors are already circling.

Four years ago, NBC made the comedian the lame-duck host of “The Tonight Show,” announcing with fanfare that he would be succeeded by Conan O’Brien in 2009.

Today, Mr. Leno is still the champion of late-night ratings, with no apparent desire to do anything else but continue on top. “What I do,” he has said on several occasions to colleagues, “is tell jokes at 11:30 at night.”

And so, nearly two years before he can officially be courted, suitors including two networks, ABC and Fox, and at least one television studio, Sony Pictures Television, are beginning to circle, doing everything they legally can to make sure Mr. Leno knows that they will make it possible for him to continue doing just that.

Senior executives at ABC and Fox said that their networks had discreetly gotten the message to Mr. Leno that they were waiting eagerly for the time when they would be able to make official overtures. NBC Universal, meanwhile, has repeatedly expressed its intention to retain Mr. Leno with a still-undisclosed plan for a new program.

Sony Pictures Television has made an approach through intermediaries to let Mr. Leno and his representatives know that as soon as he is allowed to discuss his next move, the studio will make him a rich offer for a syndicated late-night show that would make him the highest-paid host in late-night television, put his name on a new theater on the Sony lot and give him a financial interest in Sony music artists who appear on his show.

Executives who have heard the details of the plan said the move was Sony’s effort to stake a flag in the ground, knowing how intense the pursuit of Mr. Leno was likely to be in coming months. Read the rest of this entry »

“Ghost Brothers of Darkland County,” a new Southern Gothic musical by Stephen King, the horror writer, and John Mellencamp, the musician, is to open in April 2009 at the Alliance Theater in Atlanta. In a recent interview in Rolling Stone Mr. Mellencamp said that if the musical, about the reverberations of a tragedy in small-town Mississippi, did well in Atlanta, it would head to Broadway.

I hope it makes it to Broadway.  These two are each really great at what they do so it will be interesting to see how it all turns out.
