Tidbits from Britain: Arrests, Settlements and New Jobs
Britain Hates Snoop…The British endure soccer hooligans with a patience that Americans just don't understand, but we send one rapper over there, and they can't take the heat. Snoop Dogg and five of his pals got arrested at Heathrow for causing a fracas when they weren't allowed in a first class lounge, according to the Press Association. The group missed their flight and spent the night at the police station, missing a concert date in South Africa.
…But Loves Sharon StoneSharon Stone, on the other hand, fared well in England this weekend (although not in person). The actress settled a lawsuit with a British newspaper over a claim that she had left her 4-year-old son sleeping in a car (with a driver babysitting) while she ate lunch in a restaurant. The paper had to apologize.
But Did She Get the Dealer's Info? The sprightly actress Keira Knightley is taking over for Kate Moss as the face of Coco Mademoiselle perfume for Chanel, since Kate is too unreliable these days as she goes in and out of rehab. Knightley tried to drug up her image earlier this year by playing an addict in Domino, but the movie didn't get very far.
