Alan Jones - I thought this article was interesting, particularly the bit about him at Sydney's King's school. The bit about his sexuality was interesting too I guess.

Gee, I hate the most controversial celebs on this planet. Just think of the names !!
George Michael (saying it's OK to take drugs), Naomi Campbell, Heather Mills, Alan Jones (radio broadcaster), Kyle Sandilands, Osama Bin Laden (though I know that idiot is a terrorist !!) , Paris Hilton, etc !!
We know they are damn famous, they just like publicity !!
What a great idea Paula Today the news that Keith Urban has admitted himself to rehab. Nicole fully supporting him. We all knew he has battled drug and alcohol addiction for years. The problem causing previous relationships to flounder and fail. Nicole knew this also and has chosen to support him through his battles in overcoming his addiction. She's a better woman than I going into a relationship with a man known for his bad boy ways, heavy drinking and occassional illicit drug use. I would have run 100miles per hour in the opposite direction.
'I want to wring Keith's neck' By Sarah Grant and Larissa Cummings October 23, 2006 12:00am
KEITH Urban's uncle has threatened to wring his famous nephew's neck for getting back on the booze. A devastated Nicole Kidman was forced to cancel a Hollywood press conference yesterday after her husband had fallen off the wagon.
Brian Urban, the brother of the singer's father Bob, said he was shocked by the news that Keith, who has battled alcohol and cocaine addictions, had started drinking again.
"I'd like to get hold of him. I would scrag him (wring his neck)," he said from his home in Helensville, in New Zealand.
Brian said he was not confident another stay in rehab was the answer.
"Well he's done it before, hasn't he? And it didn't fix him," Brian said.
"Why should it work the second time?"
Kidman was scheduled to promote her latest film Fur to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association yesterday but was instead taking refuge in Nashville as her country music star husband endured his first 24 hours at the Cumberland Heights clinic.
Kidman's Australian agent Wendy Day said she had spoken to the actress after she helped Urban to voluntarily check himself in on Friday morning.
"She said to me, 'Wendy, I'm standing by Keith and that's all I have to say'," Day said yesterday.
Urban was due in Sydney today ahead of an industry showcase this week and the ARIA awards on Sunday.
ARIA organisers said they would not be filling Urban's performance slot with a replacement artist.
"It's not a cookie-cutter mentality where you can just replace an artist like Keith Urban," producer Mark Pope said.
Since their wedding in Manly on June 25, the couple have spent much of the past four months apart, fuelling speculation their demanding careers have contributed to Urban's relapse.
Kidman last spoke of her love for Urban at a Rome film festival on October 13.
"I think there is a reason people who are artistic are drawn to each other," she said.
"There's a kind of inherent understanding. At the same time, you don't choose who you fall in love with."

Liking publicity isn't bad, mate. Doesn't a "big member" who likes to post a lot like publicity, as well?
The ticker, running across the bottom of the morning show on Ch 7, today, 23 Oct, stated,
"The father of David wants him back after he's educated."
I can't find anything written on the WWW to substantiate this, nor did Ch-7 verify it verbally during the show.
Does anyone have details on what's going on with David's father? What the complications truly are? (And how did Madonna get David to London when he's not even truly adopted, yet!?)
The news says he can't read or write, and relys on what the government tell him. He was under the impression that his boy would be 'looked after' by Madonna until his formal education was complete, then he would be handed back to him. When he found out that wasn't so, and that Madonna was to adopt the boy, no longer making him father to little David, he was very upset. He says he'd rather his son stay in the orphanage where he can visit whenever he likes than to have Madonna adopt. As much as orphanage life would be bad, I think life with Madonna would also be bad...
Sugar mama Beyonce gonna roc tha bloc By Sarah Grant October 24, 2006 02:00am
KEITH Urban may not have landed in Sydney yesterday as planned - but the surprise arrival of bootylicious singer Beyonce Knowles and her rapper boyfriend Jay Z still made for some serious stargazing at Sydney airport.
The crazy-in-love couple touched down for Jay Z's Australian concerts amid speculation ARIA organisers were trying to recruit them as Urban's replacement at Sunday's ceremony. Despite her casual appearance, Beyonce's star power still outshone her burly boyfriend as the couple made their way through the airport.
The former Destiny's Child singer has accompanied Jay Z on his worldwide Roc Tha Block tour and is expected to join him on stage during Wednesday's Entertainment Centre show in Sydney.
While they are due to leave Australia the morning of the ARIA awards, industry insiders were yesterday speculating over their last-minute inclusion.
"He's supposed to be flying out on Sunday but you never know your luck," a spokeswoman for Jay Z's record company Universal said.

Thanks for posting a reply! Why would life with Madonna be so bad? Even in tabloids there's never negative reports about her parenting. In fact she's supposed to be an awesome mum, from what I've read. I'm not sure she's very good at projecting herself in the entertainment world but she's a good business woman.
I feel really sorry for the dad though. But is he a truly loving parent to keep his son in an orphanage? How 'bout if Madonna sponsors him to live in London and be part of his son's life? (She could at least offer.)

It creeps me out that Beyonce owns stock in furriers, and that she wears real fur as well. She's not making it onto my radar.
JLo leaving her dog unattended 3 days, with all it's water spilled and it's food untouched and spoilt and crying it's little lungs out and pawing at the door so much he ruined it, makes me think being a pet or child to JLo would not be wonderful. The little dog was covered in feces and had lost his voice from crying so hard. I Hope JLo doesn't breed.
Alan Jones - I thought this article was interesting, particularly the bit about him at Sydney's King's school. The bit about his sexuality was interesting too I guess.
Here's an excerpt from the book printed by The Age, an interesting read, how people like this get into power and can influence others baffles me, paints a very poor picture of human beings ...

Whatta surprise... I hope Beyonce performs at the ARIAs.
