Jacqueline Beems Arrested for Assault on Ric Flair

February 22, 2010


Throughout his professional wrestling career, Ric Flair had a saying: To be the man, you’ve got to beat the man.

His wife of three months apparently took those words literally: Jacqueline Beems was arrested last night for allegedly assaulting the former WCW and WWE great.

Several media outlets say the police were called to the couple’s Charlotte residence last night, just prior to midnight. The official police report states Fair suffered minor injuries and refused treatment at the scene.

No weapons were used in the alleged attack and Beems was released from jail earlier this afternoon.

The wrestler – who often refers to himself as a “limousine ridin’, jet flying, kiss stealin’, wheelin’ dealin’, son of a gun” – has been married four times.

Lindsay Lohan Admits, Decries, Blames Father For Coke Whore Tendencies


Lindsay Lohan has come clean. Mostly.

The troubled star recently told The Sun (UK) all about her past cocaine use, claiming her estranged drug addict father got her curious about the stuff.

“I was only aware of cocaine because of my dad,” she said. “I was terrified, but I tried it. I was stubborn, stupid, and wanted to see what it was like.”

Police found Lohan, now 23, to be in possession of cocaine in two separate DUI incidents in 2007. She has been to rehab three times and is real thin.

“It’s not something I ever want to do again,” she says of cocaine binging. “It made me feel like sh!t. It became uninteresting to me. I’m hyper anyway and I have that kind of personality so I don’t need something like that.”

A NEW LEAF: Our little girl is so much more grown up and mature.

In 2007, after her father, Michael Lohan, began speaking negatively about her in the press, Lohan says she hit “rock bottom.” Sure, give or take a year.

That’s when Lindsay Lohan claims that she began rampantly abusing “alcohol, cocaine and other mind-altering substances” to mask her many problems.

“There was a point when I didn’t know how to say no and was trying to please everyone. I was doing pop and making films. I thought I could go out, have fun, then go on set and record. I ran myself down and lost track of who I was.”

While she still drinks – “I know my limits,” she dubiously claims – she says often “there’s no reason to because I don’t want to feel like sh!t in the morning.”

This is true, especially when one actually has a job.

2006: The downward spiral commences.

Through it all, the alleged celebrity hoarder claims she’s in a better place now, and that she’s learned from her mistakes – some of which terrify her still.

She still cringes when looking back on one night when she took the sleeping aid Ambien and climbed into a bathtub. Don’t try that one at home, kids!

“I’d run a bath and fallen asleep on the floor. The bath overflowed. When I woke up, I was so scared. I called my therapist and said, ‘Can I just go somewhere for a month?’” she says. “‘I’m around bad people and need to take care of myself.’”

“I was terrified, but I put myself in.”

That’s what Calum Best said … UP TOP!

Over a week after he was expected to arrive to LA, actor Andrew Koenig is still nowhere to be found. Andrew, who played Boner on the hit 80’s sitcom Growing Pains, failed to return to his Venice, CA home after a trip to Toronto and Vancouver on February 14, leaving his father, Walter Koenig, worried. “Andrew was suffering from depression at the time of his disappearance,” says a message on former Star Trek star Walter’s official website. The concerned parent received a “despondent” letter from his troubled son on February 16. Anyone with information regarding Andrew’s whereabouts is encouraged to contact their local police department.

Michelle Delamor vs. Paige Miles: Semifinal Showdown!


They are probably the two biggest unknowns on American Idol.

Paige Miles and Michelle Delamor have both advanced to the semifinal round and will perform live tomorrow night on Fox, along with 10 other women. But you’d hardly have expected that if you watched the show’s early auditions.

Neither of the singers were featured very often, but that means little once the fan voting begins. Remember: A year ago at this time, no one had heard much from Kris Allen or Allison Iraheta, either.

So while it may be difficult to assess at the moment, we’re still asking readers to compare Paige and Michelle below and then vote in our poll:

Who will go farther on American Idol?

Once you let your voice be heard above, sound off on Tyler Grady vs. John Park.

Evan Lysacek and Nastia Liukin: Dating!


As celebrity couples go, Evan Lysacek and Nastia Liukin are a gold-medal pair. Seriously, they’ve both won Olympic gold medals in their respective sports.

On his way to becoming the first U.S. man to win figure skating gold in 22 years last week, Lysacek had a little help from Liukin, a gymnastics champion.

The couple met in October 2008 in Rapid City, S.D., performing on the NBC special Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular and have dated since last summer.

“We became good friends and became really close since,” says Lysacek, who attended the ESPYs with Nastia last July and things progressed from there.

Lysacek went to Dallas to cheer on Liukin during her gymnastics comeback at the U.S. Nationals in August, then this month, the couple switched roles.

“To see his dreams come true was amazing,” Liukin, 20, who had a cameo on Gossip Girl last season, says of watching her man triumph at the Olympics.

“Even though we’re not in the same sport, there’s nothing like the Olympics. It was nice to be on other side, to be the support system. But I was nervous.”

“She been so helpful to me,” adds Lysacek. “She has been through it herself. If I’m having a bad day, she tells me to have faith and to keep going.”

“Sometimes your support system has more faith in you than yourself. And when she tells me things are going to be fine, I really believe it.”

First Look: Lady Gaga in Cosmo


For most women, this outfit would seem rather outrageous. But Lady Gaga being Lady Gaga, a peach-colored lingerie-corset thing is pretty standard fare.

She pulls it off, too, although it is unclear at this time what love advice only Gaga would give, or what THE SEX ARTICLE WE CAN’T DESCRIBE HERE entails.

Something about how Lady Gaga is a hermaphrodite, perhaps? Hard to say.

We’ll find out in April. For now, here’s a preview of the star’s latest cover:

Lady Gaga’s April Cosmopolitan cover looks about what you’d think a Lady Gaga Cosmo cover would look like. We can’t wait to see their pictures of the singer.

Padma Lakshmi Welcomes a Girl


She’s still mum on her baby’s father, but Padma Lakshmi can’t hide the fact that she’s a new mother.

The Top Chef host gave birth to a girl named Krishna on Saturday. Confirmed her rep:

“Model, author and Emmy-nominated host of Top Chef Padma Lakshmi gave birth to a baby girl named Krishna Thea Lakshmi on Saturday. Mother and baby are well and happy.”

As first reported in October, the pregnancy itself was considered “a medical miracle” because Lakshmi has struggled with endometriosis, a uterine condition that often results in infertility. 

In 2007, Padma got divorced from author Salman Rushdie. We wish her and her daughter noting but the best.
