The escort girl at the centre of a sex scandal involving the Italian Prime Minister is to host a themed party entitled 'I Love Silvio' at a historic Paris nightclub.Patrizia D'Addario, 42, grabbed international headlines last month after claiming she and other women had been paid to attend parties at Silvio Berlusconi's homes.Last week transcripts of Ms D'Addario praising the 72-year-old for his sexual performance were published in Italian newspapers.

On Friday Ms D'Addario, who also claims that she was offered a seat as an MEP with Berlusconi's Forza Italia party, will host the special 'Italian party' at the Globo disco in the French capital.A leaflet advertising the event, subtitled 'In the year of the divorce', shows pictures of Berlusconi, Ms D'Addario, the Colosseum and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.It includes the premier's quote that 'right-wing women are more beautiful and competent.'

Benjamin Patou, the impresario behind the Paris nightclub Le Globo, told the Daily Mail: 'We're looking forward to welcoming Patrizia here on Friday night when she'll host the party in honour of Silvio Berlusconi.'The 'I love Silvio' party will feature men wearing Silvio Berlusconi pantomime masks and women looking 'as sexy as possible'.Staff will be wearing AC Milan football shirts, in honour of the Italian Prime Minister's club.

Mr Patou said: 'Le Globo has been a relaxed and friendly club since 1895 - it's very historic.'We're following in the spirit of the place by surfing on the tide of current affairs. The business involving Silvio Berlusconi and Patrizia D'Addario made us smile.'We contacted Patrizia and she agreed immediately to come. It will be her first public appearance since the scandal.'

Berlusconi's private life has been the centre of sleaze claims since his wife Veronica Lario accused him of 'consorting with minors' and asked for a divorce after he attended an 18th birthday party for wannabe model Noemi Letizia.

Stephanie Quinn-West is Banned Sprite Ad Actress

Meet Stephanie Quinn-West, the hottie made infamous by the Sprite spec ad that made the rounds online last week. Read the rest of the story below and check out a biography of Stephanie Quinn-West as well as photos and video of the cutie.

Sprite has certainly gotten a lot of free publicity from the fake Sprite spec ad that’s made waves online in the past week or so. Whether it’s welcome publicity remains to be seen. For those of you living under a rock and unaware of this story, first it was rumored that this was a real ad shot for Sprite Germany, which was banned due to inappropriate content. Then director Max Issacson came forward and clearly stated the ad was merely a spec ad and was unaffiliated with Sprite and the Coca Cola company. Starring in the now infamous commercial was John Jones IV and Stephanie Quinn-West, and both say people need to lighten up about the ad, as it was all meant in good fun.

23 year old Stephanie Quinn-West was born on December 9th, 1985 and is from Cambridge, Ma. Her mom is a native of Cambridge, and works for Cambridge Public Schools. She has a 26 year old sister and a 12 year old brother.

Currently a waitress at Harvard Square, she is attending Salem State College. She has studied numerous things while in school. She started off as a nursing major, then switched to English, then to Communications with a minor in foreign languages. Stephanie Quinn-West is fluent in Spanish, which she learned along with English through the Cambridge Public School system’s Amigos program. She is taking time off school right now, but only has a year to go before she earns her degree.

She is currently undecided on what she wants to do post-graduation. She would like to find a job where she can utilize her language skills, and says she would like a career either helping people or working with animals. Stephanie is currently toying with the idea of going into social work.

The infamous Sprite spec ad was her first acting gig, but says she would love to pursue acting or modeling if the opportunity presented itself. She says she volunteered for the Sprite job after meeting up with director Max Issacson and friends for drinks while in New York City for a Kings of Leon concert. Stephanie’s mom thinks the Sprite commercial is hilarious and has been proud to show it off to her friends, and Stephanie’s older sister is excited she has made several big-name celebrity blogs. Her little brother, for obvious reasons, has not seen the ad yet.

While Stephanie Quinn-West seems pretty open about most of her life, she is tight-lipped about the possibility of a significant other. When asked if there was someone special in her life, she simply responded with “maybe.” Check out Stephanie Quinn-West Banned Sprite Ad video here.

Michael Jackson Ex Wife Lisa Marie Presley Blogs About Michael on Myspace

Lisa Marie Presley is Michael Jackson’s ex-wife. And now, Lisa Marie Presley blog about ex Michael Jackson in reaction to his death. Read the blog from the Lisa Marie Presley Myspace page and see photos and video here.Michael Jackson’s death has left many in shock. And now, those close to the pop star are speaking out. Ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley is struggling to cope with the death of Jackson. Presley tells Usmagazine.com, “I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children who I know were everything to him and for his family. This is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me.”

And now, Presley has taken to her Myspace blog to unveil her feelings and what she refers to as the truth.“Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general. I can’t recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death. At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, “I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.”

I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that. 14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears. A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn’t predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened. The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy. All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted. I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.

Our relationship was not “a shame” as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a “Normal life” found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much. I wanted to “save him” I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened. His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn’t know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then. At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself. He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.

When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad. Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson’s being or actions.I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him. I was in over my head while trying. I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision. The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.

After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret. Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation. At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now. As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.

Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him. He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together. I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now. He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be. I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is. The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right. I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.”The Lisa Marie Presley Myspace page has already received hundreds of comments in regards to her sentimental blog entry.

Dolla signed to Akon’s Konvict Records in 2007 and seemed to have a bright future ahead of him with the release of his debut single “Feelin’ Myself”. But he could not escape the violence that permeates the Hip Hop community.

From the LATimes.com:

The man shot at the Beverly Center mall this afternoon was identified as Atlanta-based rapper Dolla, whose real name is Roderick Anthony Burton II, according to his publicist, Sue Vannasing.

The man allegedly drove his silver Mercedes SUV from Beverly Center to the airport.

Police said the shooting took place in the valet waiting area of the mall].

Farrah Fawcett Death Story On NBC

Farrah Fawcett, glamorous Hollywood actress and 1970s icon, was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. News reports are that she is now confronting death. Her struggle with this deadly disease will be shown on an NBC documentary, Farrah’s Story, this Friday night at 9:00 pm. The documentary was filmed over two years with Farrrah’s own video camera, with her friend Alana Stewart as the videographer.Farrah Fawcett states the following in her documentary:

“Cancer, is a disease that is mysterious, headstrong and makes its own rules. And mine, to this date, is incurable.”

“I know that everyone will die eventually, but I do not want to die of this disease. I want to stay alive,”

So I say to God, because it is, after all, in his hands. It is seriously time for a miracle.”

I feel very much the interloper in attempting to write about Farrah and her personal nightmare. Well, not really personal … she did not have that luxury, but it’s the nightmare from hell none the less.She and I are the same age. My hair was identical to hers back in the day of big hair, blue eyeshadow and real lips … untouched by collagen. While never a fan of hers, I was a big fan of Lee Majors and Ryan O’Neal, so whenever Farrah made news, I was always nosy enough to read about it. I gained respect for Farrah as an actress after she starred in the TV movie ‘The Burning Bed’, and she outdid herself in ‘Extremities’.

I’ve never been a celebrity follower. I don’t comprehend their lifestyles or thought processes, and frankly, there’s not enough room in my brain to be concerned or even really care about them. It’s only when there is an ‘in your face’ story that I occasionally sit up and pay attention. But why?I understand that when someone signs on to be an entertainer that they automatically give up a lot of privacy that we, the fans, insist we keep for ourselves. I also think that the public, the fans … have crossed the line. We do not need to know every detail of a celebrity’s life …. for example Farrah’s cancer. The HIPAA laws were written for her, too. But did we care? Nope. Not one damn bit.

The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically. The Rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of personal health information, and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without patient authorization. The Rule also gives patients rights over their health information, including rights to examine and obtain a copy of their health records, and to request corrections.

Ms. Fawcett pleaded for privacy, yet the National Enquirer allegedly paid Lawanda Jackson ( an administration assistant at UCLA Medical Center ) $4600.00 to dig up personal info on Ms. Fawcett and leak it to them. Ms. Jackson was charged with violating HIPAA laws and admitted guilt, but died of cancer last March before being sentenced. And the National Enquirer made a lot of money off of Farrah Fawcett’s hell.It’s been alleged that Ms.Fawcett has spoken to the U.S. Attorney and the FBI regarding an investigation to see if the parent company of the National Enquirer, violated any laws by paying an employee of a hospital to leak out any patient confidential medical information. I really hope she has.

When Farrah was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, it hit a raw nerve with me. Cancer runs in my family; my Mother died from it at 51, it killed her sisters and my Aunts, at a young age also. I held 2 husbands in my arms as they took their last breath after fighting this very hard, very personal demon known as cancer. I have lost 7 seven friends to cancer and only know 2 survivors personally. My best friend of close to 40 years had pancreatic cancer 8 years ago … against all odds, she is still here. Another friend has survived serious melanoma. My little brother was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer last week. So, as you can tell, I am very familiar with this monster.
