Illness forces Meatloaf to cancel tour

Rocker Meatloaf has been forced to cancel the remainder of his current tour after being diagnosed with a cyst of his vocal cords. The singer had 11 dates left on his 'Three Bats' Tour, including a show at London's Wembley Arena last night.

In a statement released on his website, meatloaf.net, the 'Bat Out Of Hell singer' said: "It really breaks my heart not to be able to perform these shows. "I was really looking forward to capping off a great year and celebrating the start of the holidays with the fans.

"But I have to do what the doctors tell me so I can look forward to healing and coming back strong in 2008. Let me dispel any rumours before they start - I will be back." The statement said doctors had diagnosed an inter-vocal cord cyst.

While most cysts of this type usually require surgery, voice therapy will be carried out first to establish whether this is necessary, it said. It will be four to six weeks before it is known what course of action may be required. Additional information for ticketholders is expected to be released on Meatloaf's website.

Yesterday's announcement comes just days after Meatloaf cancelled a show at Birmingham's NEC Arena because of ill health. The singer was suffering from acute laryngitis and cancelled the performance on Friday on the advice of his doctor.

On Wednesday the singer cut short a performance at Newcastle's Metro Arena after just 70 minutes. The singer reportedly announced: "I can no longer continue. I take my coat off and thank you for 30 years." A doctor was summoned and the 60-year-old was diagnosed as suffering from exhaustion and urged to rest.

Britney ordered to pay Federline's legal fees

Britney Spears has been ordered to pay the majority of her ex-husband's legal fees in the couple's custody dispute.

The American pop star has been told to pay $120,000 (€82,008) in legal fees to Kevin Federline, the father of her two young sons.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon ordered the singer to stump up a large chunk of the $154,500 (€105,586) in legal fees that Federline owes to his attorney, according to court papers filed yesterday.

Gordon made the decision after considering several factors, including "the notable disparity between the parties' income", the ruling said.
A call requesting comment from Spears' attorney was not immediately returned.

Court papers released last week show that Spears makes roughly $737,000 (€503,672) per month and spends lavishly on clothes and entertainment.

Meanwhile, Federline "indicates that he does not earn any income", the ruling said.

Federline, who has temporary custody of two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James, receives $15,000 (€10,251) per month in child support and $20,000 (€13,668) in financial support from Spears.

The support from Spears is to end on November 15.

Mills claims to be '$3m in debt'

But Mills denies pursuing McCartney for a large settlement even though she owes $3m (€2.2m) in legal fees.

She says: "I have been offered nothing. We go to court over our daughter. You have no idea. These figures are made up. How do you know I even want anything?

"I am UK£1.5m (€2,2m) in debt in lawyers fees. But I can't talk about that. I'm gagged at the moment, while the media are being fed spin by a certain corner."

Hilton sued for 'stealing' look

Paris Hilton is being sued by a woman who claims the blonde socialite 'stole' her look.

The 'Simple Life' star has been accused of causing "emotional distress" to fellow Californian, Nicolle O'Neill, who fancies herself as an inspiration to the party-loving heiress.

In a bizarre personal injury complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month, O'Neill alleges that she suffers psychologically because of Hilton and accuses the 26-year-old of ripping off her style, including fashion-related "patens" and "stiling" tips.

Two pages of documents spell out specific charges against Hilton, including a claim that she stole O'Neill's idea to expose her underwear under her trousers. O'Neill also claims Paris swiped her idea to shop in vintage stores for retro dresses.

Hilton has yet to issue a response to the allegations.

Craig signs $60m Bond deal

Actor Daniel Craig has signed a $60m (€41m) deal to star in the next four 'James Bond' films.

The blond 39-year-old is currently filming Bond 22 - his second outing as secret agent 007 following the success of 2006's 'Casino Royale' - and movie executives have reportedly signed him up for another three films, tying him to the franchise for the next 10 years.

A source says: "To date Daniel has been quite cautious over saying how many films he'd be starring in.
"It was presumed he'd probably do a couple more but the word is the new deal ensures he'll do at least another four across the next decade."

Craig's predecessor, Pierce Brosnan, starred in four Bond movies - but the longest-serving 007 star remains to be Roger Moore, who played the iconic role in seven films between 1973 and 1985.

Spears in new cocaine controversy

Scott Kohler, aged 29, claims he and a group of 10 other strangers were invited to join Spears for a night of heavy partying on October 19, when the troubled star drowned her sorrows with vodka and cavorted with the men in her jacuzzi.

And musician Kohler alleges the 25-year-old singer accepted an offer of cocaine from a fellow partygoer, after he "joked he wanted to do a line off (Spears') chest, and she agreed", reports British newspaper The Sun.
Kohler adds: "(Spears) was in a great mood. She didn't have a care in the world."

The latest revelations will be a blow to Spears as she fights her ex-husband Kevin Federline for custody of two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James.

She has since won back visitation rights to see her two boys three times a week, but must comply with an earlier court order to undergo mandatory drug and alcohol tests and well as attend joint parenting sessions with dancer Federline.

The former couple's next custody hearing is set for November 26.

SINGING SENSATION Rihanna joined several thousand other patrons from late Saturday night into early yesterday morning as they enjoyed some dancehall music from Beenie Man and Bounty Killa.

The striking teen – one of the most visible entertainers on the world stage – mixed easily with other patrons in the VIP section in the Bay Street car park where the event dubbed Ultimate Storm was staged.

of not usually performing at the same show.

Additionally, there was uncertainty surrounding Beenie Man (real name Moses Davis) as reports from Jamaica had stated there was a warrant there for his immediate arrest. He failed to appear in court last Tuesday to answer to tax evasion charges.
