’N Sync came back with a vengeance last week (but not as a group, of course). First, Lance Bass glamourized the cover of People magazine with his statement, “I’m gay.” And, the oh-so-sexy Justin Timberlake gave the editorial team at FASHION18 something to grin about: his video “Sexy Back” is sizzling! And, if you haven’t watched it, I suggest watching it ASAP! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=5V1AQYO7_1Q) Now if we only knew what the video was about. Anyone care to explain?

He’s taking it all off! IMDB.com reports Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire star Daniel Radcliffe will bare all onstage in Peter Shaffer’s play entitled Equus. Daniel is supposedly set to play a disturbed youth obsessed with blinding horses. And, his publicist has confirmed that he will be stripping for the role. Hmm, it’s hard for us to picture Daniel as anything else but good old Harry Potter.
Unlike Daniel Radcliffe, Paris Hilton won’t be taking anything off for anybody. CNN reports the heiress is going to stay celibate for another year. In a recent interview to the British edition of GQ, Paris stated, “I'm not having sex for a year... I'll kiss, but nothing else.” Good for you, Paris! Good for you.

The plot between Sienna Miller and the people of Pittsburgh thickens as she denies having a bar tantrum (she’s currently there to film The Mysteries of Pittsburgh). According to IMDB.com, Young’s Tavern owner Penny Folino told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the Alfie beauty, 24, ignored doorman Dan Kovacs’ request for ID at the entrance and ordered a vodka tonic, before she was asked to leave. Folino told the newspaper, “Sienna ripped off her hat and said, ‘I am Sienna Miller. I am a famous actress!’” But Sienna says: “I wholeheartedly refute the allegations that I in any way acted in an inappropriate manner when asked for identification at this bar. I was asked to provide ID, and since I didn’t have any with me, I was told I couldn’t be served and asked to leave. I had no problem with this and my family and I left calmly without any further exchange of words.” Hmm, who to believe?

He’s going to rehab!! According to IMDB.com, Country superstar Keith Urban has checked himself into an unnamed rehabilitation centre in an effort to beat his drug abuse demons. The Australian star, who has been candid about his past drug problems, has thanked his new wife, Nicole Kidman, for her support as he struggles with a relapse. We still adore Keith, and FASHION18 wishes him the best of luck!
Annnddd, the Madonna adoption saga continues! Perez Hilton reports that in an interview with Reuters Television in his home village of Lipunga, Malawi, on Saturday, Yohane Banda said that he never intended for Madonna to legally adopt his one-year-old son, but rather to raise the child on his behalf until he is an adult."Had they told us that Madonna wanted to adopt my son and make him her own son, we would not have agreed to let him go forever," Banda said. "It would have been better for him to continue staying at the orphanage because I see no reason why my child should be given away forever when I can feed him." Be sure to watch Oprah this Wednesday when the Material Mom will be a guest on the show.
Ahhh!! It appears that Kate is preggers. 24 hours reports that Kate Moss is set to have a baby with bad-boy rocker Pete Doherty. Apparently Pete’s uncle said Pete told him the good news in a phone call from Italy. Hmm... Honestly, I’m not too sure how I feel about this news. What do you guys think?

Yikes! IMDB.com reports that Lance Bass has received serious threats over the contents of his boyfriend’s new book, which exposes the abuse he was subjected to as a gay man in the U.S. military. In Here's What We'll Say: Growing Up, Coming Out, And The U.S. Air Force Academy, Reichen Lehmkuhl claims he was sexually assaulted by straight military men after he “came out.” And the 32-year-old now alleges he and Lance have been told their lives are in danger in menacing communications they have received.
Anddddd, on a final note, Nicole Richie is getting help. According to RTE.ie, Nicole has checked into a treatment facility to seek help in gaining weight. The 25-year-old reality television star recently acknowledged in a Vanity Fair interview that she was too thin. “I know I'm too thin right now... I'm not happy with the way I look,” she said. You go, girl!
