2008-07-22T20:17:00.002-04:00

Pop singing superstar Madonna has been diagnosed with anemia and ordered to take a break from rehearsals for her forthcoming tour, according to media reports. The singing fitness fanatic has been working out to a demanding schedule ahead of her Sticky & Sweet Tour, which kicks off next month. But the British newspaper The Sun claims the 49-year-old is now resting on doctor's orders, after medics found she was suffering anemia, which causes a lack of oxygen in the organs. The newspaper reports that the star is also suffering a knee injury and is recuperating in the Hampton's. A source tells the publication, "Madonna is doing less than OK. She has been rehearsing for the tour and she is totally miserable. She's down physically and mentally. "Madonna was told to go soft on work and rehearsals, so she will now take one proper day off every week and go easy in the mornings. "She has a blood analysis done every few days, including one during last Friday's rehearsal in front of everyone."

Hollywood star Christian Bale is denying assaulting his mother and sister after he was released from police custody today. The Batman actor is alleged to have attacked his mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, at London’s Dorchester Hotel on Sunday night. In a statement issued shortly after Bale’s release, a spokesperson for the star says: "Christian Bale attended a London police station today on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister."Mr. Bale, who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale." The actor’s arrest came only hours after he attended the European premiere of Batman inn London. According to reports, authorities did not attempt to arrest the star until after the high-profile event because they were certain Bale would not flee the country to resist arrest, adding that the lack of severity in the case did not warrant an immediate response.The actor has reportedly been ordered by police to make a court appearance in September.

GOLDEN GIRLS ESTELLE GETTY DIES AT 84

2008-07-22T14:31:00.008-04:00

The Golden Girls

Famed television funny woman Estelle Getty, who spent 40 years as an actress, before landing a role of Sophia on TV's "The Golden Girls," has died. She was 84 years old. Getty, who suffered from advanced dementia, died at about 5:30 a.m. Today at her Hollywood Boulevard home, said her son, Carl Gettleman of Santa Monica California."She was loved throughout the world in six continents, and if they loved sitcoms in Antarctica she would have been loved on seven continents," her son said. "She was one of the most talented comedic actresses who ever lived." "The Golden Girls," featuring four female retirees sharing a house in Miami, grew out of NBC programming chief Brandon Tartikoff's belief that television was ignoring its older viewers.Three of its stars had already appeared in previous series: Bea Arthur in "Maude," Betty White in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and Rue McClanahan in "Mama's Family." The last character to be cast was Sophia Petrillo, the feisty 80-something mother of Arthur's character. She will be missed.

RON BURKHARDT RETURNS TO THE HAMPTONS

2008-07-22T13:53:00.002-04:00

After 3 years of exhibitions and awards in Europe, Brazil, California, Chicago, Palm Beach and Miami, Ron Burkhardt returned to the Hamptons for a one-man show of his Notism genre of abstract contemporary art at Peter Marcelle's Hampton Road Gallery in Southampton. Despite the fact that there were a half dozen major glittering galas the same evening, Burkhardt’s show drew over 300 of the East End’s most prominent art connoisseurs and legions of fans to this stunning exhibition of provocative new works. Burkhardt is the founder of the Notism abstract art movement, evolved hieroglyphics that form a unique visual record as he documents personal histories. In seeking to preserve intimate human writing, his primal work explores the power of words, symbols and language, and confronts the frenetic, multi-tasking overload of modern society.Touted on NBC as "the newest form of art out there," and by art critic/curator Peter Frank as "an art form whose inexactitude is a crucial part of its beauty...with an impressive pedigree. Miro, Klee, Cy Twombly, Basquiat and Jean Dubuffet could all have been "notists" as it were..."Burkhardt has been honored with 30 shows in the past six years and featured on NBC-TV. Details about his work may be found on HERE.

HAMPTONS MAGAZINE CLAMBAKE HEAVEN

2008-07-22T13:12:00.014-04:00

Norah Lawlor With Jeffrey Bradford And Ann Lawlor

Once again Niche Media mogul Jason Binn and his trusted Hamptons Magazine publisher Debra Halpert pulled off the beach party of summer. Some 750 guest were transported by Hampton Jitney coaches to what is surely on of the most beautiful beaches in the world – no offense Dr. Beach but we think you missed the boat ranking Coopers Beach and not Dune Beach in your top 10.For the sixth year in a row, top flight caterer Tim Burke and his team of pros from his 75 Main restaurant in Southampton kept the Bacardi Mojitos shaking and the Champagne flowing like a river for the thirsty party hearty crowd. While the barbecue crew was working feverishly preparing lobster, clams, mussels, chicken and burgers, the crew had wisely put out enormous trays of hero sandwiches to take the edge off and keep the crowd sober – well relatively – til dinner was served.The weather could not have been better with a cool ocean breeze keeping the gorgeous tent from turning into a sauna as it does at many posh Hamptons parties. There were some 40-50 tables set up in the sand so weary revelers worn out from the dance floor had no problem taking a break. And dance they did! This crowd was filled with stunning women and handsome men and could have been a backdrop for a fashion spread. Among those looking good on the dunes were sexy model Anna Kulinova, Norah Lawlor, style guru Montgomery Frazier, Mickey Sherman, Jeffrey Bradford, artist Marjorie Myers, Joan & Joan Gruen, Andrew Jacobs, Sean Bruns, Joseph Pasquino, Hamptons Angeles Mani Mali, Samantha Cole and Kristen Parker, dashing young actor Emanuel Sylvano, journo Gregory Speck, Theresa Ward, John Wegorzewski, Edward Callaghan, Tony Vargas, Katie & Robert Cooper, builder Michael Burns, Michele Walker, Elyse Slaine, Neal Sroka, Anthony & Jeanne De Biasi, Real Housewives star Alex McCord with Simon van Kempen and the brood, Ann Liguori and Chris & Cristina Cuomo and their son Mario. Kudos to the Hamptons Magazine team and to Tim Burke of 75 Main for making this one of the most magical, memorable evenings of summer.

In the song, Cyrus sings, "Your friends, they’re jerks, and when you act like them, just know it hurts." But Jonas knows the song is not about him. He says, "I think it’s funny.

"Diane can’t move on from the break up of our marriage and I have already had to contend with her accusations about me being violent towards her. Now the lies seem to be getting even more vicious, and, what is worse, she is dragging our son into it. "I have just come off the phone to Jason and I know he will be making his own statement but I never told him I wasn’t going to leave him a penny in my will or that I said he only had the career he has as an actor and director because of his family name. He happens to have talent of his own." Connery also says he set up a trust fund worth $170,000 for Jason, now 43, and Cilento’s daughter while they were still a couple.
