French Model Who Suffered from Anorexia Dies At 28



    French model and actress Isabelle Caro, whose anorexia-ravaged body was featured in a shocking 2007 advertising campaign, has died.

The young woman's
acting coach, Daniele Dubreuil-Prevot, revealed Caro died on Nov. 17, at the age of 28, according to reports. She had just returned to France after doing a job in Tokyo.
     While Dubreuil-Prevot, Caro's longtime teacher, said she didn't know the cause of death, she spoke of Caro's battle with anorexia, adding that her student – who said she suffered from the illness since she was 13 – "had been sick for a long time."

    The model is known for her appearance in a fashion ad campaign by Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani in 2007. Caro's naked body was shown with her skeletal frame and facial bones protruding. The images were splashed in newspapers and on billboards with the headline "No Anorexia."
      Earlier this year, she made an appearance on Jessica Simpson's show The Price of Beauty to discuss body image issues.

Jailed Rapper DMX Transferred To Mental Health Ward

   Rapper DMX is apparently not faring too well in prison and has been transferred to a mental health unit.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was transferred to a
 mental health unit in prison, where he is serving a 12-month sentence for probation violation.
The rapper was arrested by police at an Arizona club in November when he was using cocaine and drinking alcohol during a show.  He also was driving on a suspended license and failed to check in with his probation officer.
DMX entered a guilty plea to a charge of felony probation violation and was sentenced to a year  in jail.
At the rapper’s sentencing, judge Christine Mulleneaux worried he may be suffering from an undiagnosed mental condition and DMX was recently admitted to the Flamenco Mental Health Unit inside the Alahambra Prison complex.

Eddie Murphy's Ex Squanders Divorce Money


   Eddie Murphy’s ex wife Nicole has blown her massive $15 million divorce settlement in just four years – and now she’s millions of dollars in debt.
What’s more, the IRS has slapped her with five tax liens totally $846,630, and she has put her opulent mansion up for sale. When Nicole
divorced Eddie in 2006 after 13 years of marriage, she chose to take a one-time payout from the comedian of $15 million, instead of monthly alimony. But in a shockingly short span of time, she’s managed to lose all of it.
“Nicole made some bad investments with the fortune she got from Eddie, and now she is in serious financial straits,” said a friend of the 42-year-old stunner. Court records show that the IRS slapped Nicole with two liens for back taxes in November totaling $214,688.
That huge bill was on top of outstanding judgments against her for nearly $600,000 by a legal firm and another $60,000 demand for payment by a landscaping company. She also owes $5 million on her Los Angeles-area home.
“Nicole is overwhelmed by the mountain of debt she has piled up,” added the source. Nicole, who has five children with Eddie, invested in an Internet jewelry business, but the venture quickly failed and Nicole lost most of her money.”

Rihanna And Matt Kemp Split

       Rihanna and baseball ace Matt Kemp have reportedly ended their relationship, just weeks after Matt’s odd behavior with an unidentified female outside a Los Angeles nightclub prompted allegations that the Dodgers outfielder, 26, was a cheat.

   While a source close to Rihanna, 22, tells Us that it was Matt who
called for the pre-holiday split, Star Magazine claims Rihanna's ongoing infatuation with her former flame, rapper Drake — who she dumped after a brief courtship in March 2009, was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
   Star says: “For the past month, Rihanna has been spending more and more time with Drake and has been slowly falling for him. They had a brief relationship right after her breakup with Chris Brown, but she was too traumatized by the whole situation to take him seriously.”
Despite collaborating with Rihanna on the smash single “What’s My Name?” this year, in June, Drake looked back on his romance with the Barbadian crooner bitterly, telling The New York Times: ”I was a pawn…You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like, ‘Wow, this feels terrible.’”


I know i said it on this blog when i posted the video for what's my name that i noticed some kind of chemistry between Drake and Rihanna in the video. Well i am not exactly surprised.
