Bruce Beresford-Redman Proclaims Innocence, Responds to Arrest Warrant

For the first time since his wife was killed in Cancun, Bruce Beresford-Redman has spoken out.

The former Survivor producer has officially been charged with "qualified homicide" by Mexican authorities, seven weeks after Monica Beresford-Redman was foundstrangled to death in a sewer near the Moon Palace resort, where the couple had been on vacation.

"I am devastated at her loss; and I am incensed at the suggestion that I could have had anything to do with her death," Bruce said in a statement yesterday, responding to his arrest warrant. "I am innocent."

Bruce has been the sole person of interest in the case because sources confirmed he'd been having an affair, and witnesses spotted Bruce and Monica arguing on the beach the night she was killed.

Continued Bruce in his statement:

"Monica was the axis around which our whole family revolved. From her sisters and parents to my parents and of course to our children and me, she was everything to us. My children have had one parent taken from them by a senseless act of violence. I implore the Mexican authorities not to take their remaining parent by a miscarriage of justice and to do what is right not just what is expedient."

Beresford-Redman returned to the United States last week, against the wishes of Mexican officials. He's filed for full custody of his two young children. If necessary, Mexican authorities will extradite him to their country.

Attorney Richard G. Hirsch referred to the warrant as "extremely disturbing" and said his client was "innocent of this crime and is prepared to defend himself in a court of law."

He'll eventually get the chance to.

Happy Birthday, Heidi Klum!

When God sat down to craft the perfect celebrity, He likely came up with Heidi Klum.

This super model has four children; has been happily married for five years; is involved in numerous charities; makes millions of dollars a year; and looks great naked.

She and Seal renew their vows once per year because, as Heidi beautifully puts, "it's about remembering this moment of love we gave to each other and reinforcing it. It's so special to us, something we love and something our children have gotten accustomed to."

Simply Beautiful

Klum made a cameo in The Devil Wears Prada and has also found success on the small screen. She hosts Project Runway and has guest-starred on such hit shows as How I Met Your Mother and Sex and the City.

Heidi turns 37 today and, yes, this is all an excuse to honor the birthday gal with a photo montage. Sit back, ogle the beauty below and be sure to send your best wishes to her on this special day...

Andrew Koppel, Son of Veteran Broadcaster, Found Dead

Tragedy has struck the family of veteran journalist Ted Koppel.

The broadcaster's 40-year old son, Andrew Koppel, was found dead early this morning in New York City.

An attorney for the city Housing Authority, Andrew was discovered in a Washington Heights apartment, where he was brought earlier in the evening by Russell Wimberly, a waiter he had met at a Hell's Kitchen bar on Monday afternoon.

Koppel "was just really messed up when he came in. He was very drunk," Belinda Caban, a resident of the apartment building, told The New York Post.

Caban said she and Wimberly called 911 after they found Andrew Koppel had urinated and defecated in the bed he passed out in. Medical personal announced him dead at the scene.

Ted Koppel

According to Wimberly, Andrew started his drinking binge around noon at Smith's Bar & Restaurant at 44th Street and Ninth Avenue. That's where the pair met, drinking whiskey and making small talk before moving from bar-to-bar.

"There was a lot of alcohol. He didn't take anything else [drugs] around me, and neither of us ate all day," Wimberly told the newspaper. "We talked about our kids... He said he had a kid and loved [her] a lot."

Andrew lived with his girlfriend and their daughter.

He was the third youngest of Ted Koppel's four children with wife Grace Anne. TheNightline host is yet to comment on the incident and our thoughts go out to his family.

Sarah Palin to Joe McGinniss: Beat it, Stalker!


Sarah Palin is understandably far from pleased that writer Joe McGinniss rented the house next door to her while authoring a book about the former governor.

But stalking allegations? Really, Sarah? That's pretty low ... but from someone whodemands straws that bend at speaking engagements, are you shocked?

McGinniss said on the Today show this morning that despite accusations from the political lightning rod, he's not harassing them. Quite the opposite, in fact.

"If I lived here and did something creepy, if I did what Sarah Palin is suggesting, that would be creepy," McGinniss said. "I'm not observing them at all."

"I don't care what they do in the privacy of their own home," he continued. "I'm here to talk to people who have known them for 40 years in Wasilla."

McGinniss claims he got a good deal on a rental that happens to border the Palins' property, and would have taken it if "Sarah Palin lived on the moon."

WELCOME TO WASILLA! Sarah Palin is far from pleased with her new neighbor.

True or not, the 67-year-old writer is next door, leaving the maverick concerned for her privacy and questioning McGinniss's motives ... on Facebook, natch.

"Wonder what kind of material he'll gather while overlooking Piper's bedroom, my little garden, and the family's swimming hole?" Sarah Palin wrote online.

McGinniss denies he did any of that, or that he is trying to drum up publicity for his book, claiming he told no one outside his family where he was living.

"Then Sarah hysterically puts up this Facebook page with all sorts of ugly innuendo, which frankly is revolting," he says. "She has created all the publicity."

McGinniss, known mostly as a true-crime writer, has reportedly received death threats thanks to Palin triggering outrage from right-wing media outlets.

Palin "unleashed the hounds of hell," he says, comparing her tactics to that of Nazi troopers in the '30s. Maybe he should send over a nice fruit basket?

Fashion Face-Off: Tyra Banks vs. Kim Kardashian

it's a matchup of self-centered celebrities in this edition of the THG Fashion Face-Off!

In one corner, we have Tyra Banks, a recently-retired talk show host that made every episode of her gabfest about herself.

Opposing Tyra, there's Kim Kardashian, who will pimp out her nephew and guzzle down QuickTrim if it means she can be featured on magazine covers.

Fortunately, we're not asking readers which of these annoying celebrities sucks more - because that would be difficult to answer. Instead, we're posing a fashion-based question below, based on the dresses they are donning here:

Tyra vs. Kim

Who looks sexier in this dress?

Al Gore, Wife Tipper to Divorce

In sad and unexpected news from the political world, former Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper Gore are calling it quits after four decades together.

The environmental advocate and his spouse have announced, via an e-mail to friends, that they are separating. Their 40th anniversary was just last month.

"We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate," stated the e-mail, first obtained by Politico.com.

"This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration."

The Gores' brief, joint statement concluded: "We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further."

Al and Tipper Gore

Married since May 1970, Al and Tipper Gore are splitting up.

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, The Associated Press reports, but declined to elaborate on the matter.

Al Gore became the highest-profile advocate for environmental and climate change issues since losing the 2000 Presidential election by a razor-thin margin.

Tipper Gore is known for advocacy on mental health issues, and for an active role in the Parents Music Resource Center during her husband's time in office.

Al, 61, and Tipper, 60, have four grown children: Karenna, Kristin, Sarah and Al Gore III. We wish the spouses and their kids the best in this tough time.

Charlie Sheen to Cop Plea, Go to Jail

According to multiple sources, there's no longer any question over whether or notCharlie Sheen will spend time in jail for his Christmas Day assault against wife Brooke Mueller.

The troubled actor is most definitely headed to the slammer. Sheen is prepared to agree to a plea bargain that will include approximately 30 days behind bars.

"Charlie intends to go to court on June 7 [to] plead to a misdemeanor and immediately begin serving his 30 days in jail," said an insider. "With good behavior, he could end up doing 15 or so days."

One Troubled Actor

Let's all hope Charlie Sheen gets up close and personal with fellow inmates in a very different way this month.

Incredibly, Sheen had the option of avoiding prison and accepting probation - but he actually deemed probation too risky, which is basically a case of the star admitting that he can't remain out of trouble.

The actor will go to Aspen next Monday, enter a no-contest plea to third degree assault and have his felony menacing charge dropped.

In the end, for allegedly holding a knife to the throat of Mueller, Sheen will receivea pay raise from CBS and spend about two weeks in jail.

Ain't justice grand for celebrities?

Justin Bieber Teams Up With Jaden Smith

Jaden Smith is the son of one of the biggest movie stars on the planet.

As a result, he's starring in a remake of The Karate Kid, one of the most beloved films in cinematic history.

But in case it wasn't clear that Jaden was the luckiest youngster in Hollywood, consider this: he duets with Justin Bieber on the flick's theme song, "Never Say Never."

Let's just hope Smith didn't touch Justin at any point during their time together. We know how much the singer hates that...

AnnaLynne McCord Braless Photos

annalynne mccord cleavage

I can see now why AnnaLynne McCord is the famous one in the family. I never really thought she was anything special (except when she’s had a nipple slip), but now, comparing her to one of her sisters, I can see that she’s actually something to look at.

AnnaLynne McCord’s younger sister Rachel is a regular-looking chick, not ugly, not pretty, just meh. But when you stand her right next to her famous sibling, it’s clear why AnnaLynne was the one who made it in Hollywood.

Anyway, here are some photos of AnnaLynne McCord and Rachel McCord during an autograph-giving session this weekend. Both of them chose to go braless and for the life of me I can’t explain how this decision didn’t end up in a nipple slip. They must’ve used miles of double sided sticky tape!

JESSICA ALBA PUTS ON A HAPPY FACE FOR FANS



Jessica Alba was at the Lakers game last week and during halftime she and a female friend were in the crowded aisle moving slowly toward the private lounge and ladies room. Fans in the stands shouted and reached out to Jessica who was sweet and gracious to all. She paused and waved and smiled and shook hands and posed for photos and signed autographs. When she finally walked thru the ladies room door her forced smile disappeared and she groaned to her friend “IHATE having to be nice to people in public!”
