Here’s what Angelina Jolie said about her first time..

“I had my first boyfriend and had sex with him when I was 14. In a moment of wanting to feel closer to him, I grabbed a knife and cut him,” she said. “He cut me back.”

ATHENS (AFP) – A young Greek actress who forgot her cellphone in an Athens cab found herself blackmailed for 1,500 euros (2,200 dollars) when the driver threatened to post sex footage stored inside the phone on the Internet, the Greek police department said on Friday.

The 30-year-old driver was arrested on Thursday after the unnamed actress gave him the demanded sum in marked currency.

The taxi driver, also unidentified, who had initially tried to peddle the sex footage to a reporter, told police he was facing “serious financial difficulties.”

The behavior of taxi drivers in Greece usually tops visitors’ grudge lists with complaints ranging from boorish conduct and rip-off pricing to general uncleanliness.

The union representing Athens’ some 15,000 taxi drivers has repeatedly promised to organize behavioral seminars for its members but the effect on the street has been minimal.

PARIS (Reuters) – Former “Baywatch” star and Playboy model Pamela Anderson takes to the stage in one of France’s most famous nude revues this month, when she performs for two nights at the Crazy Horse in Paris.

Anderson, who has recently been performing in a magic show in Las Vegas, follows Arielle Dombasle, an actress and wife of one of France’s leading intellectuals, in appearing at the Crazy Horse, a fixture in Paris night life for half a century.

“A special number will be created for Pamela Anderson, a striptease on a Harley Davidson,” the Crazy Horse said.

Anderson will perform four shows on February 13-14.

NEW YORK (AFP) – Former Hollywood wild child Drew Barrymore likes nothing more than ripping off her clothes and running naked through the fields — although apparently only in Ireland, according to a recent interview.

“I’ll drive in Ireland and park my car and run out into the field and rip all my clothes off and just run in the wheat fields naked,” the actress says in an interview with Parade magazine due to appear Sunday.

The star also recalls another naked incident, when she flashed talk show host David Letterman live on network television in 1995.

“I’m so glad I was so free at one point in my life,” she says.

She adds that she is aware the idea might raise a few eyebrows.

“I think it alarms people, because I’m so responsible now that when I do do it, it’s almost surprising rather than, ‘Oh, that’s just her doing her thing again.’”

After appearing in Steven Spielberg’s box office hit “E.T.” at the age of seven, Barrymore dabbled in drugs and alcohol before she was even a teenager.

She returned to cinema after surviving a troubled adolescence and beating her addictions, but she maintained her bad-girl image, posing for Playboy magazine and appearing nude in several films.

The scion of one of Hollywood’s great acting dynasties, Barrymore has appeared in several hit films, including “Poison Ivy,” “Scream,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “50 First Dates” and “Fever Pitch.”

Her latest film, the romantic comedy “Music and Lyrics,” opens next month.

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have been named the worst dressed celebrities of 2006, according to an annual list from US fashion critic “Mr. Blackwell.”

The poison-penned arbiter of style described newly single Spears and celebrity socialite Hilton as “two peas in an over-exposed pod! Style-free and fashion deprived.”

Spears and Hilton have been regularly photographed together enjoying nights out on the town in the wake of Spears’ decision to file for divorce from husband Kevin Federline.

Next on the list was Camilla Parker-Bowles, the wife of the future king of England, Prince Charles, dubbed by Blackwell as “The Duchess of Dowdy.”

Party-loving teen idol Lindsay Lohan was next, with Blackwell saying her dress sense had gone from “adorable to deplorable.”

Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Paula Abdul, Sharon Stone, Tori Spelling, Sandra Oh and Meryl Streep rounded out the list.

Blackwell did have some kind words, however, praising British actress Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce and Katie Holmes for their sense of style.

Fashion critic Blackwell has issued his “ten worst-dressed women of the year” awards annually since 1960.

LOS ANGELES – Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock each filed divorce papers Monday seeking to end their marriage of less than four months. Anderson’s representative would not comment on the reason or any particulars of the divorce. Anderson and Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, each cited “irreconcilable differences” in their divorce filings in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

“Yes, it’s true,” Anderson wrote in a brief statement on her Web site. “Unfortunately impossible.”

A message left with Ritchie’s attorney wasn’t immediately returned.

The relationship between Anderson, 39, and Ritchie, 35, has been a turbulent one since they became engaged in 2002. They broke up the following year, but later reunited and held several wedding ceremonies over the summer.

They were wed in late July near St. Tropez, France, and again at a courthouse in Beverly Hills on Aug. 3. They also tied the knot in an Aug. 17 ceremony in Nashville, Tenn.

The pair filed separate divorce petitions, about an hour apart, early Monday. Anderson reported their separation date as Nov. 21; Ritchie said it was Nov. 26.

First word of the split was reported by “The Insider” syndicated news magazine.

Anderson’s spokeswoman, Tracy Nguyen, confirmed earlier this month that the actress had suffered a miscarriage.

The actress has two sons, Brandon, 10, and Dylan, 8, from her marriage to rocker
Tommy Lee. Ritchie, a Michigan native who owns a condo in Nashville, has a 13-year-old son, Bob Jr.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Actress Tara Reid, whose botched breast surgery made her a Hollywood laughingstock two years ago, underwent additional surgery to repair the damage, according to a report in Us Weekly.

In an interview released on Wednesday, the “American Pie” actress told the magazine she had surgery last month to reduce the scarring on her breasts and to even out her stomach after cosmetic surgery in 2004.

Reid unwittingly exposed the disastrous results when she posed for pictures at a November 2004 party and her dress strap fell down.

“I was on Web sites as having the ugliest boob job in the world. I was devastated,” Reid, 30, told the magazine.

Reid said the surgery hurt her professionally and personally.

“Guys I was dating would be like, ‘What’s wrong with them? They look really bad. You know, you should really get them fixed.’ So embarrassing, I mean, you definitely had to turn off the lights. And then there was my stomach.”

Reid said she had liposuction on her stomach at the same time because she wanted “a six pack.”

“But it went all wrong. My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing.”

She told Us Weekly it took her two years to regain her confidence and trust another cosmetic surgeon to sort out the problems.

“I couldn’t wear a bikini. I lost a lot of work. I lost my confidence,” she said. “This was a nightmare I lived through.”

I dont know about you, but I’ve always thought of Tara as a very hot girl, even wih the bad boob job and stomach, I would’nt turn her down.

CAIRNS, Australia – Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44.

Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called “Ocean’s Deadliest” when he swam too close to one of the animals, which have a poisonous barb on their tails, his friend and colleague John Stainton said.

“He came on top of the stingray and the stingray’s barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart,” said Stainton, who was on board Irwin’s boat at the time.

Crew members aboard the boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered CPR as they rushed the boat to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical staff pronounced Irwin dead when they arrived a short time later, Stainton said.

Irwin was famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchword “Crikey!” in his television program “Crocodile Hunter.” First broadcast in Australia in 1992, the program was picked up by the Discovery network, catapulting Irwin to international celebrity.

He rode his image into a feature film, 2002’s “The Crocodile Hunters: Collision Course” and developed the wildlife park that his parents opened, Australia Zoo, into a major tourist attraction.

“The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet,” Stainton told reporters in Cairns. “He died doing what he loved best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. He would have said, ‘Crocs Rule!’”

Prime Minister John Howard, who hand-picked Irwin to attend a gala barbecue to honor President Bush when he visited in 2003, said he was “shocked and distressed at Steve Irwin’s sudden, untimely and freakish death.”

“It’s a huge loss to Australia,” Howard told reporters. “He was a wonderful character. He was a passionate environmentalist. He brought joy and entertainment and excitement to millions of people.”

Irwin, who made a trademark of hovering dangerously close to untethered crocodiles and leaping on their backs, spoke in rapid-fire bursts with a thick Australian accent and was almost never seen without his uniform of khaki shorts and shirt and heavy boots.

Wild animal expert Jack Hanna, who frequently appears on TV with his subjects, offered praise for Irwin.

“Steve was one of these guys, we thought of him as invincible,” Hanna, director emeritus of the Columbus (Ohio) Zoo and Aquarium, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Monday.

“The guy was incredible. His knowledge was incredible,” Hanna said. “Some people that are doing this stuff are actors and that type of thing, but Steve was truly a zoologist, so to speak, a person who knew what he was doing. Yes, he did things a lot of people wouldn’t do. I think he knew what he was doing.”

Irwin’s ebullience was infectious and Australian officials sought him out for photo opportunities and to promote Australia internationally.

His public image was dented, however, in 2004 when he caused an uproar by holding his infant son in one arm while feeding large crocodiles inside a zoo pen. Irwin claimed at the time there was no danger to the child, and authorities declined to charge Irwin with violating safety regulations.

Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. Irwin denied any wrongdoing, and an Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken against him.

Stingrays have a serrated, toxin-loaded barb, or spine, on the top of their tail. The barb, which can be up to 10 inches long, flexes if a ray is frightened. Stings usually occur to people when they step on or swim too close to a ray and can be excruciatingly painful but are rarely fatal, said University of Queensland marine neuroscientist Shaun Collin.

Collin said he suspected Irwin died because the barb pierced under his ribcage and directly into his heart.

“It was extraordinarily bad luck. It’s not easy to get spined by a stingray and to be killed by one is very rare,” Collin said.

News of Irwin’s death spread quickly, and tributes flowed from all quarters of society.

At Australia Zoo at Beerwah, south Queensland, floral tributes were dropped at the entrance, where a huge fake crocodile gapes. Drivers honked their horns as they passed.

“Steve, from all God’s creatures, thank you. Rest in peace,” was written on a card with a bouquet of native flowers.

“We’re all very shocked. I don’t know what the zoo will do without him. He’s done so much for us, the environment and it’s a big loss,” said Paula Kelly, a local resident and volunteer at the zoo, after dropping off a wreath at the gate.

Stainton said Irwin’s American-born wife Terri, from Eugene, Ore., had been informed of his death, and had told their daughter Bindi Sue, 8, and son Bob, who will turn 3 in December.

The couple met when she went on vacation in Australia in 1991 and visited Irwin’s Australia Zoo; they were married six months later. Sometimes referred to as the “Crocodile Huntress,” she costarred on her husband’s television show and in his 2002 movie.

TOKYO (Reuters) – Tokyo’s subway has refused permission for an advertising poster featuring a nude and heavily pregnant Britney Spears, branding it “too stimulating” for young people.

The picture of the pop singer — nude but covering her breasts with her arms and crossing her legs at the knee — appeared in the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar and will be on the cover of the magazine’s Japanese edition in October.

The publishers had hoped to display the cover photo for a week at a subway station in a trendy part of central Tokyo, but ran into resistance.

“We thought some of our customers would find it to be overly stimulating,” said a Tokyo Metro official.

Harper’s Bazaar could not be reached for comment.

Not all was lost. The Metro and the publishers agreed to display the poster after all but masked the picture below the former teen idol’s elbow with a statement reading: “We apologize for hiding part of a beautiful image of a mother-to-be.”

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Former Playboy Playmate model, reality TV star and would-be oil heiress Anna Nicole Smith announced on her official Web site on Thursday that she is pregnant, but offered few other details.

Smith, 38, revealed the news in a brief home video clip in which she appears to be lounging on an inflatable raft in a backyard swimming pool, with two yapping poodles visible in the background.

“Hi, it’s me, Anna Nicole,” she says, smiling into the camera. “I’ve been hearing a lot of gossip in the papers … Is she pregnant? She’s pregnant by some guy? Well, let me stop all the rumors. Yes, I am pregnant.”

Smith goes on to say that she is “very, very happy about it” and that “everything’s going really, really good.”

But she never says when she’s expecting, nor offers any hint of the father’s identity.

The video was shot at a close camera angle that reveals little more than Smith’s face and shoulders, though she promises future updates that will “let you see me as I’m growing.”

The video was posted on Smith’s official Web site (http://www.annanicole.com) with a message promoting the footage as a first installment in what will become, starting next week, a subscriber-supported video diary.

Unconfirmed reports that Smith was pregnant began surfacing weeks ago on the Internet, gossip columns and supermarket tabloids, but her lawyer-spokesman Howard K. Stern had previously declined to confirm the stories.

Last month, Smith won a U.S. Supreme Court decision giving her another chance to collect millions of dollars left by her late Texas oil tycoon husband, J. Howard Marshall by allowing her to contest a probate court judgment in federal court.

The former Vicki Lynn Hogan from Mexia, Texas, she met Marshall at a Houston strip club and was 26 when she married the wheelchair-bound, 89-year-old billionaire in 1994.

His death after 14 months of marriage triggered a legal battle over his estate between Smith and his son, E. Pierce Marshall.

She has a son Daniel Smith, born in 1986 during her first marriage.

LONDON (Reuters) – British actress Keira Knightley was voted the world’s sexiest woman in a magazine poll on Thursday, beating model Keeley Hazel and Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson into second and third place respectively.

The poll, which British magazine FHM said was based on two million votes, saw homegrown model and TV presenter Kelly Brook slip to 5th from first last year, while Angelina Jolie, expecting a baby in mid-May, came fourth.

Beyonce Knowles was the sexiest pop star at number seven and Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova the top sportswoman at number 56.

FHM said the poll was the only one of its kind voted for entirely by the British public.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Concerned about politicising her favourite charity, singer-actress Jessica Simpson on Wednesday turned down a invitation to meet with U.S. President George W. Bush, a snub that left Republicans dismayed.

The apparent final word that Simpson would be a no-show at a major Republican fund-raiser with Bush and congressional leaders on Thursday night came after a day of conflicting reports from her camp and organisers of the event.

The blond star of the film “The Dukes of Hazzard” still plans to visit Washington on Thursday to lobby members of Congress on behalf of Operation Smile, a non-profit venture offering free plastic surgery for disadvantaged children overseas with facial deformities.

People close to Simpson said she declined a request to appear that same evening at the gala fund-raiser of the National Republican Congressional Committee — even after she was offered some private face time with Bush — because Operation Smile is a non-partisan group.

“It just feels wrong,” one Simpson insider told Reuters on Wednesday, adding that the actress keeps her political views private. “She would love to meet the president and talk about Operation Smile … but she can’t do it at a fund-raiser for the Republican Party.”

NRCC spokesman Carl Forti said he was surprised at Simpson’s position.

“It’s never been a problem for Bono,” he said, referring to the U2 rock star who has met regularly with political leaders of all stripes to promote various causes, including Third World debt relief. “I find it hard to believe she would pass up an opportunity to lobby the president on behalf of Operation Smile.”

Although Simpson’s publicists insisted she never had planned to attend the fund-raiser, Forti said the actress initially accepted the NRCC invitation when it was extended on Tuesday night, only to change her mind the next evening.

Forti said the Republican group had even arranged for Simpson to dine at one of the head tables with U.S. House of Representatives Majority Leader John Boehner, an Ohio Republican. The NRCC hopes the $2,500 (1,433 pounds) -per-plate dinner event will raise $7.5 million for Republican candidates in the congressional midterm elections in November.

Simpson, 25, a Texas native who started out singing in her church choir, became a star on the Christian music circuit as a teenager and crossed over to the pop mainstream with her major-label debut album “Sweet Kisses” in 1999.

She became an overnight MTV sensation in 2003 as co-star of a reality show chronicling her first year of wedlock with fellow pop vocalist Nick Lachey, but she filed for divorce in December after three stormy years of marriage. Simpson is currently featured wearing cowboy boots and hot pants in a TV pizza ad.

TEL AVIV (Reuters) – It may not be what Sharon Stone wants to discuss, but the actress is happy to confirm that, yes, she does indeed get naked in her next movie, the sequel to the 1992 hit “Basic Instinct.”

In Israel to promote International Women’s Day, Stone was badgered not about the fairer sex, but instead about her role as a sexed-up serial killer in “Basic Instinct 2″ Wednesday.

“People are just sitting there going, like, ‘I don’t care what she’s saying. I don’t care what she’s saying. I just want to know is she getting naked? Is she getting naked in that movie? Is she naked? Nude? Nude? Naked? Do I see her boobies?’” the actress, now 48, told reporters, laughingly.

“So let’s just get through to that. Yes! And now that I’ve cleared that up, let’s just go to the next question, because nobody cares about anything else, really,” she said.

“Basic Instinct 2″ opens March 31 in the United States.

VIENNA (Reuters) – Posters depicting Britain’s Queen Elizabeth having sex with the U.S. and French presidents were removed from Vienna’s streets on Friday to defuse an uproar that embarrassed Austria as it prepares to take on the EU presidency.

The images, splashed on scores of electronic rolling billboards, showed two naked female models wearing masks of President George W. Bush and the queen, and a male model with a President Jacques Chirac mask, posed as if engaged in a sex act.

A second poster, among 150 from around Europe and organized by Austrian curators with partial state funding, displayed the lower torso of a woman sprawled in knickers adorned with the European Union’s circle-of-stars emblem.

Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel had appealed to the artists to pull the posters after opposition leaders and the media blasted them as pornographic, sexist and a blow to Austria’s reputation on the eve of its EU presidency, starting on Sunday.

Tanja Ostojic, who created the knickers image, resembling a controversial 19th-century painting by Gustave Courbet entitled “Origin of the World,” complained of “public censorship.”

Spanish artist Carlos Aires, responsible for the Queen-Chirac-Bush trio, said he “suddenly had this image of three decision-makers having an orgy while everything around them collapses.”

But while Aires and Ostojic said they were disappointed the public had not “engaged with the artistic message” of their works, they agreed to remove them to avoid detracting from the others involved in the “euroPART” project.

The art promoter 25peaces, which commissioned the project, said the images were meant to “reflect on the different social, historical and political developments in Europe” and that the fuss over the sex posters distorted the entire undertaking.

The controversy exercised newspapers around Europe. Germany’s Financial Times-Deutschland headlined its story “European group sex in Austria” and Italy’s Corriere della Sera said the images were “not necessarily the height of good taste.”

Left-wing opposition leaders accused the government of using 500,000 euros ($590,000) in taxpayers’ money to fund the project via a cultural agency. The government said it had no part in choosing the images and did not know their content in advance.

The poster series is to be shown until the end of January.
