Snooki taken into custody in Italy

Snooki taken into custody in Italy. Snooki Taken Into Custody After Car Accident in Italy. Maybe the mayor of Florence, Italy had a point when he placed all kinds of restrictions on the cast of the Jersey Shore. Still filming the MTV show's fourth season in Italy, Nicole "Snooki " Polizzi crashed her vehicle into a police car Monday and was subsequently taken into custody, reports TMZ.com.

Sources say "zero alcohol" was involved in the crash. One witness says the accident ended up with the vehicle Snooki was driving wedged between a police car and a highway protection wall. After the accident, Snooki's castmate Deena Nicole Cortese, who was riding in the passenger seat, allegedly had to exit the car via its window, because of the positioning of the vehicles.

Despite being taken into custody, a production source told TMZ.com that this was not a formal arrest.

LeAnn Rimes insists she's healthy

LeAnn Rimes insists she's healthy

LeAnn Rimes insists she's healthy. LeAnn Rimes insists she is not too thin. Rimes responded to a Twitter follower who thought she looked "scary skinny" in a bikini. LeAnn Rimes, who recently wed her second husband, Eddie Cibrian, tweeted photos from her honeymoon in Mexico. One of her fans, however, pointed out in the photos that her bikini body looked a little frail. She was told she looked "scary skinny" because of her “protruding hipbones.”
According to Us Weekly, Rimes, who has been subject to weight concerns, tweeted back, "Those are called abs, not bones, love," she wrote, adding, "This is my body, and I can promise you I'm a healthy girl. I'm just lean. Thanks for your concern, but no need to be."
Rimes has tirelessly defended her weight loss. Back in March, she defended her weight and addressed criticism by writing on Twitter, “Maybe it’s time for a nude pic so peeps can see how I look nowhere near what these stupid pics are trying to make me look like, LOL.”

Rimes continued, “I don’t care about the dumb articles. I know how healthy I am. Maybe those people should start taking care of themselves…inside and out.”

She later added, “It’s sad how mean people in this world can be for no good reason.”

Basketball wives

Basketball wives

Basketball wives. 'Basketball Wives' Season 3 premiere bonus clip: Meeka trashes Royce because she was a dancer.Basketball Wives" returned last night with its Season 3 premiere -- and it picked up right where all the drama left off last season: Everyone's mad at Royce, Tami hates Evelyn and Shaunie pretty much stays out of it all. Fans were also introduced to a new Wife: Meeka, who's married to former Golden State Warrior player-turned-scout Speedy Claxton.

In a bonus clip that VH1 didn't air, Meeka dines with her husband and gives him the lowdown on all the ladies, namely Royce, a former Orlando Magic and Miami Heat dancer, who has a child with Magic center Dwight Howard -- a big no-no to the Wives.

"I think what bothers me most about Royce is she was a dancer," Meeka tells Speedy. "She crossed the line. I don't know how I can be a wife and be her friend. You know how I feel about stuff like that."

Although Meeka and Royce did have a face-to-face meeting in the premiere, it was hardly a showdown of Wife vs Dancer.

Which celebrity is the youngest?

We all know some celebs have their ways of looking younger, but these celebrity age comparisons are unbelievable…

Amy Childs and Emma Watson

 Emma is older.

The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs is only 20 years old, while Emma Watson is 21, almost a year older. This could be surprising, however Amy is a lover of fake tan, hair extensions, oodles of make-up and has already had her breasts enhanced: gamine Emma is a fan of the natural look, which takes years off her. Being fake can sometimes be ageing! (Link)

Mark Wright and Robert Pattinson

 Robert is older.

Yes ladies, boyish R-Patz is a good year older than TOWIE's Mark Wright. The club promoter-turned-reality TV star could pass for a man in his early 30s with his dapper suits and overly-neat appearance (and too many late nights, perhaps?) while messy-haired and bright-eyed Rob looks a good few years younger. Mark is 24; Rob is 25. (Link)

Kourtney and Kim Kardashian

 Kourtney is older.

The Kardashian sisters are a beautiful bunch, there's no denying that. But we're still surprised that Kourtney, at 32, is two years older than Kim. Not that Kim looks old for her age... Kourtney just looks extremely young! She could pass for a teenager, almost. (Link)

Rachel Stevens and Katie Price

 Rachel is older.

Katie Price would probably look her age if she ditched the fake tan and the heaps of make-up. Rachel Stevens, on the other hand, probably still can't buy alcohol at the supermarket without taking her ID with her, just in case. They're both the same age (33) but Rachel is older. (Link)

Alex Reid and Peter Andre

 Peter is older.  

Can you believe Katie Price's exes are three years apart in age, with Pete being the older of the two at 38? The suave singer is naturally blessed with smooth, dark skin and sparkly eyes. Also, he's not a competitive fighter, which could be Alex's downfall. Cage-fighting Alex is 35. (Link)

Megan Fox and Florence Welch

 Megan is older.

Sultry actress Megan Fox is 25; singer Florence is just 24. Sure, they're only months apart in age but we're surprised that Flo is in her mid-20s! (Link)

Gillian McKeith and Denise Welch

 Denise is older.
These two blonde fifty-somethings have both recently been on reality TV shows (Gillian was on I'm A Celeb, Denise was on Dancing On Ice) but that's where the similarities end. Denise, who still enjoys a good night out on the town as well as a long-distance run, is a very youthful 53, while years of eating a strict diet (and probing other people's poo) hasn't worked too many wonders for Gillian, 51.(Link)

Nikki Grahame and Anne Hathaway

 Nikki is older.

Now, we're not saying 28-year-old Anne looks old for her years, but she does exude a kind of mature elegance. And Big Brother's Nikki Grahame? Well, she's 29 but looks about 12, especially when she pulls faces like that. (Link)

Brad Pitt and Prince Edward

 Brad is older.

OK, so it's probably not exactly fair to compare anybody to Brad Pitt, but it's incredible all the same. Brad Pitt turned 48 at the end of this year, while Prince Edward only turned 47 in March. (Link)

Whitney Port and Lady Gaga

 Whitney is older.
Former The Hills star Whitney Port is a year older than Lady Gaga who, at 25, confuses us. The Gaga singer has so much talent and prowess, not to mention the weirdest array of costumes, wigs and hats ever, she's an ageless entity and 25 doesn't seem to fit. Whitney, 26, exudes a peachy glow with her all-American goodness. (Link)

 Konnie Huq and Hannah Waterman

 Konnie is older.

While former Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq could easily pass for 25, actress Hannah Waterman has admitted that her face looks like a "bag of spanners" since she lost weight. We can't believe these two were born just days apart... Konnie probably struggles to get into nightclubs! The TV presenter is a mere five days older than the actress. (Link)

Russell Brand and Alan Carr

 Russell is older.
The Americanisation of Russell Brand, 35, is now complete. The comic-turned-actor looks far more polished than fellow Brit comic Alan Carr, who is a year younger at 34. Hollywood has waved its magic wand over the formerly dishevelled Russell... looking squeaky clean clearly takes the years off. (Link)

Mark Owen and Dara O'Briain

 Mark is older.

Dara O'Briain is one of our favourite comedians, so we don't care that he almost looks old enough to be Mark Owen's dad. Who, by the way, has a baby face to rival the likes of Macaulay Culkin. The Take That star is the oldest here by a few weeks. Still surprising though. (Link)

Heidi Montag and Emmy Rossum

 Emmy is older.

The Hills star Heidi Montag infamously had 10 plastic surgeries completed on the same day, but rather than making her look younger, they aged her. Now she could almost pass for actress Emmy Rossum's mother! (Link)

Johnny Depp and Todd Carty

 Johnny is older.

It's hard to believe Johnny is even over the age of 35 with those cheekbones and his full head of hair. Former EastEnders actor Todd Carty looks his age, but Johnny is nothing short of a miracle. Maybe he lied on his CV about his date of birth? Rather ironically, the latest Pirates of the Caribbean instalment includes the search for the Fountain of Youth. We think Johnny's already been there. (Link)

Liv Tyler and Maggie Gyllenhaal

 Liv is older.

Liv Tyler has a dewy, timeless look, while Jake Gyllenhaal's sister Maggie looks like she's had a few too many late nights! Both actresses live in New York and both are 33, but Liv is older by several months. (Link)

Aston Merrygold and Tinie Tempah

 Aston is older.

Would you believe baby-faced Aston from JLS is older than Tinie Tempah? Aston turned 23 a few months ago, while Tinie is a year younger but could easily pass for 30. (Link)

Rachel Weisz and Lucy Benjamin

 Rachel is older.

EastEnders actress Lucy and The Constant Gardener star Rachel are both in their 40s, but it looks like Rachel is stuck in a time warp. The movie actress is 41, while Lucy turns 41 in a few months. (Link)

Call of Duty Elite Adds Social Layer to Hit Gaming Series [PICS]

 

Video game company Activision has finally revealed Elite, a new social layer for its wildly popular Call of Duty games. Elite was designed to unite the massive community of Call of Duty players as well as provide tools to help gamers of all levels improve their skills.

Cross-platform services are becoming more popular as video game designers realize their community isn’t console-specific. Web players want to test their mettle against console players and vice versa. Elite goes beyond the game to include social networks like Facebook. Users can link up their Facebook accounts to Elite to pull in Likes and automatically find friends who are also using the service.

Elite also introduces groups and clans, which will play a much larger role in Modern Warfare 3, the next Call of Duty game. Groups are largely open and can be based on anything. Like eating lobster? You can join or create a “Lobster” group. Like playing with machine guns? There’s a group for that. Same with “Yankees” or “Los Angeles.” Groups operate similar to fan pages on Facebook. Users can track and compare themselves to these mini-communities of players. Users can join a total of 64 groups.
Clans are more limited. Users can only belong to one clan and there is a cap on how many players can be in a clan. The Call of Duty folks were tight-lipped about how clans will play into the next iteration but promised they would be key.
We recently sat down with the game’s designers for a demo of Elite. The room, a penthouse hotel room in Manhattan, featured rows of huge black computers with the Elite skull logo. There, they talked about their goals and plans for Elite.
The service is available on web browsers, consoles and mobile apps and will work with all future Call of Duty games, including Black Ops, the most recent game in the series. Elite features four main sections: Career, Connect, Compete and Improve.
The service will launch in full along with Modern Warfare 3 in November, but a beta is already open for use with Black Ops. Elite is largely free, though a premium membership is needed to get full functionality. That membership also includes all downloadable content released in the future, but it still might be a little pricey for the casual user.
