Rock legend Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie gave birth to twin baby girls Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2008 and according to her representative "The babies and mom are happy and healthy and resting at home."
The baby girls were delivered by C-section at 2:46 p.m. and weighed in at 5 lbs., 15 oz. and 5 lbs., 2 oz.
Presley's mother, Priscilla, had confirmed the twins in an interview with Entertainment Tonight where she said "She wanted it really to be kept a secret for a long time. And I think women should, because they should be able to announce what they're having and when it's time to make the announcement."
Congrats to Lisa Marie and Musician Michael Lockwood!!!
It was reported the other day that Christie Brinkly tried to get a restraining order after hearing that her ex-husband, Peter Cook, had conducted a 20/20 interview with Barbara Walters, which was denied.
In Cook's interview he tried to counter the public perception that he was a sex-craved pervert.
Some of the initial details of their divorce showed that he spend thousands on Internet porn and paid his teenybopper teenage lover $300,000 to keep quiet about the affair, which, of course, she didn't do.
"My hope is that the world will see that I'm not the scumbag pervert that I've been painted to be. The misinformation that came out during the trial is the elephant in the room. It's the elephant in the room for my kids. And I'm hoping maybe if I can correct some of the wrongs."
Brinkley comes out swinging after the interview aired with a statement from her attorney Robert Stephan Cohen:
"This is a tragedy Mr. Cook has proven once again that the court appointed psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Herman was right when he testified that Peter Cook has an insatiable ego and needs constant reassurance. Mr. Cook continues to put himself first, ultimately hurting the children. The court awarded Ms. Brinkley full custody of the children and all decision making concerning them. That decision speaks for itself."
Brinkley will be exploring her future legal options against Cook.
Background:
In 2007, during the Brinkley/Cook divorce trial, Diana Bianchi told all about her affair with Peter Cook, starting when she was 18 years old. Deatils were provided by The New York Post:
"We had been working together and he'd shown interest in me and I had reciprocated," the now 22-year-old testified about her steamy year-long affair with architect Peter Cook.
[...]
"He asked me how I would feel if he told me he was attracted to me," she said before admitting, "I was a bit taken aback, but I really wasn't against it."
[...]
Wearing a short-sleeved, frilly white blouse and a demure, long gray skirt, Bianchi spoke with a tiny, shaken voice as she recounted the intimate details of their tawdry trysts and the money he showered her with.
She countered Cook's claims from earlier in the day that he once hid $500 under a rock near his office in Southampton. Instead, she said it was under a rock at the Bridgehampton home he lived in with Brinkley and their kids.
Cook also testified that he only gave Bianchi $20,000 as part of her official duties pushing papers at his office, but Bianchi claimed he doled out an extra $15,000 for a down payment on a new Nissan Maxima in 2005.
That was before Cook paid her $300,000 in hush money to keep those specific details from the court proceedings.
Other details pretty much show why the term "scumbag pervert" fits Cook perfectly despite his denials to Walters:
She said she met Cook when she was just a 15-year-old clerk in a toy store in 2003.
In the summer of 2004, they talked on the phone - and she said she even sang for him.
"He just said I had a great voice and it was something I should pursue," said Bianchi, who is trying to make a go of a music career.
The two had nothing to do with one another
When she ran into him a year later, Cook slipped Bianchi his card - which the teen thought was innocent enough.
"If someone gives you their business card you assume it's [just] for business," she said on the stand.
In 2005 Cook hired the young stunner to work at his Hamptons architecture firm when she was just 18 and looking for some extra money.
Bianchi couldn't recall what she did, exactly, or how much she was compensated.
Despite not having any experience besides selling toys and baby-sitting, Bianchi said she was paid "anywhere from $20 to $50 an hour, depending on how much I got done."
Keep all that in mind when you hear Cook in the video below saying he hopes "the world will see that I am not the "scumbag pervert" that I have been painted to be."
Paris Hilton won alot of laughs when she responded to John McCain's celebrity ad against Barack Obama which used Paris reputation as a star. The heiress sat in a white lounge chair and discussed how her energy plan was better than "the wrinkely white haired dude's" plan. Now that chair is going to be a cash cow for one lucky friend of the family who allowed Paris to use it in the video.
Ebay is hosting the bidding starting at $1000.00. The auction ends on OCT17, so hurry now while no bids have been placed!
A word of warning to anyone who buys that chair, don't sit on it naked. You don't know what you might catch...
Speaking of Paris' bid for President, she has come out with a new ad highlighting more of her political savvy by asking Martin Sheen(one of our best fake president's)for fake advice!

Yesterday it was reported that Lindsay Lohan was filing a motion (documents found at SS linked URL)to keep her testimony in her girlfriend, Samantha Ronson's, upcoming court case against her former lawyer, Martin Garbus, for malpractice, from being videotaped in order to protect her privacy.
Today we learn from NOW, Lohan is under police guard after receiving threats from three separate California addresses. these threats are referred to as "biblical" threats, without the exact wording of the threats revealed.
No real clue what a "biblical" threat is unless it has something to do with crucifixion, but that is how the threats are described.
I wonder how long it will be before the actual wording of the threat is "leaked?"
