Roman Polanski Arrested

It looks like some things never go away and your past will always come back to haunt you at some point in time. Roman Polanski is to be extradited to the US after being arrested in Switzerland. I'm sure that everyone is tired of this celeb gossip, as sure as Mr. Polanski and the woman he had sex with when she was a minor. I'm sure the woman is very tired of this story too. This gossip is all over the news and this story comes specifically from FemaleFirst.

Roman Polanski has been arrested and will be extradited to America .

"The 76-year-old director - who fled the US to France in 1978 after being convicted of unlawful sex with a minor - was stopped by police shortly after stepping off a plane in Zurich on Saturday night (26.09.09) where he was set to pick up a lifetime achievement award at the Swiss city's film festival and now faces being sent back to the US within days.

The Swiss Directors' Association branded Saturday's arrest "a cultural scandal".

However, the Swiss Justice Ministry insisted: "There was a valid arrest request. We knew when he was coming - that is why he was taken into custody. He is in provisional detention with view to extradition"

French officials have pledged to help Polanski - now a French citizen but also owns a property in Switzerland - with the country's culture minister Frederic Mitterrand saying he was "deeply shocked" by the arrest and had discussed the matter with President Nicolas Sarkozy.

In a statement, the minister spoke of his "astonishment", saying he "regretted in the strongest way that a new ordeal has been inflicted on someone who has already gone through so much".

We are going to try to lift the arrest warrant in Zurich ... the extradition convention between Switzerland and the United States is not very clear.

The filmmaker can contest his detention and any extradition decision in the Swiss courts, which could take months of legal argument.

If he does not challenge the decision, he could be flown to the US before the end of the week, where he would likely live out his final years in jail.

His lawyer, Georges Kiejman said: "We are going to try to lift the arrest warrant in Zurich ... the extradition convention between Switzerland and the United States is not very clear."

In 1977, Roman pleaded guilty to charges of having underage sex with a minor.

La Toya Reveals Prince was called to revive Michael Jackson

The strange tales which emerge after the death of the rich and famous get stranger all the time. You'd never really be able to call Michael Jackson "normal" or "ordindary", but it just goes to show, the rich are sometimes just plain weird. Read this celeb gossip post from FemaleFirst. You will probably agree with me.

La Toya Jackson served up another shocker about her brother Michael's death on TV in America on Friday night (11Sep09) - his eldest son was called in to try and revive his dead dad.

In an exclusive interview, which aired on news show 2020, the singer told interviewer Barbara Walters she was appalled when she learned Prince Michael, 12, was asked to resuscitate the King of Pop, who was found unconscious by his doctor, Conrad Murray, on 25 June (09).

Jackson's death has been ruled a homicide, and La Toya has insisted the Jackson family will not rest until they find out exactly what happened

Who’s George Clooney dating?

If you really want to know who hot Hollywood actor George Clooney is dating, then read further. If you don’t, then maybe you should just pass…

Actor George Clooney recently touched down in Toronto on his private jet (yes, he does own his own jet) for the Toronto Film Festival after spending time in Venice for the Venice Film Festival. He has two films on the go, “The Men Who Stare at Goats” and “Up in the Air” both which are scheduled to play the Toronto Film Festival.

And, George Clooney has a new girlfriend and chose the Venice Film Festival in which to “bring her out”. Sporting a bandaged hand and the girl, Italian TV presenter and sexy men’s mag model Elisabetta Canalis on the other, the two graced the red carpet. They had recently been spending some quality time together at George’s lakeside villa on Lake Como.

Spotted on the Venice lagoon in a water taxi seeing the sights of Venice , people are excited, calling the pair, the next Brangelina. Call it George Clooney’s Italian fling, the two had previously met in Rome, but alas, George was still dating former girlfriend Sarah Larson. Seems George was following Canalis around in his car when she was filming with actor Allessandro Siani. This comes from Siani himself when telling all to an Italian magazine.

George Clooney, 48, and Canalis, 32, have only been dating for three weeks, so the flame is quite hot. Will this relationship last for George? We aren’t exactly sure because most typical Hollywood relationships don’t usually last because Hollywood couples seem to get married whilst still in the hot honeymoon phase and divorce as soon as the passion cools off. Maybe George doesn’t even want to get married or maybe George is gay. Maybe he will turn out just like Warren Beatty and marry very late in life. Who knows for sure? Only George himself.

Wishing him the best of luck with his new lady. Let it be real. Aren’t we getting tired of the celebrity gossip these days, a continuous tale of Hollywood’s short quick marriages and equally as quick divorces.
