Beckham in Los Angeles car crash

David Beckham has been involved in a car accident on one of the busiest roads in Los Angeles.

The LA Galaxy footballer was not injured in the crash on the southbound 405 Freeway, said a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman.

The driver of the other car was taken to hospital but was not seriously injured, she said.

Beckham's black Cadillac crashed into the back of a gold Mitsubishi which had broken down in the car-sharing lane, the spokeswoman added.

"Yesterday at approximately 9.13am he [Beckham] was involved with a collision on the southbound 405 Freeway just south of Artesia Boulevard," she said on Saturday.

"This collision occurred when his black Cadillac collided with the rear of a disabled gold Mitsubishi which was stalled in the car pool lane due to mechanical problems.

"The driver of the vehicle had a complaint of pain and was taken to hospital. David Beckham was not cited or arrested."

Sources close to Beckham said that his son Brooklyn was in the car at the time.

His car was one of many that swerved to avoid the broken down car.

The Mitsubishi reportedly only lost its bumper in the crash.

Cameron Diaz doesn't believe in marriage

Cameron Diaz doesn’t believe in marriage.

The Hollywood beauty, who has never wed, said the institution was extinct.

“I do [think marriage is a dying institution],” Diaz, 38, said. “I think we have to make our own rules. I don’t think we should live our lives in relationships based on old traditions that don’t suit our world any longer.”

The Charlie’s Angels star also told Maxim magazine how she loves dry-humping.

She said: “One should dry-hump as much as possible. It leads to great things. I’d prescribe it at least once a day. What’s also nice about dry-humping is that it can happen anywhere.”

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon reveal twins' names

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have revealed the names of their newborn twins.

According to CNN, the singer and her TV host beau have decided to name their daughter Monroe and son Moroccan.

Their son is named after the Moroccan Room - the plush top tier of their New York apartment where Cannon first proposed. The child's middle name is Scott, which is also Cannon’s middle name as well as his grandmother’s maiden name.

Monroe is named after actress Marilyn Monroe, who has been a lifelong inspiration to the Grammy winning singer and actress. She was not given a middle name because Carey herself does not have one.

Carey's rep, Cindi Berger, told CNN: “It has been a long, emotional journey for this family. I couldn’t be happier for all of them.”

Paul McCartney to marry for third time

LONDON: Former Beatle Paul McCartney is engaged to New York socialite Nancy Shevell, his girlfriend of nearly four years, his publicist said on Friday.

It will be the 68-year-old pop legend's third marriage.

His first wife, Linda, died from breast cancer in 1998 and he then wed ex-model Heather Mills in 2002 before divorcing her in 2008.

"We're all thrilled for him," McCartney's spokesman Stuart Bell said, confirming the engagement but giving no further details.

Mills and McCartney's marriage ended in a bitter divorce three years ago.

She was awarded 24.3 million pounds (then $48 million, 30.8 million euros) in an accord finally hammered out after prolonged and acrimonious negotiations.

McCartney married Mills in a lavish ceremony in Ireland in June 2002, four years after Linda, a photographer and animal rights campaigner, died from breast cancer.

Australian charged over Justin Bieber egg throwing

SYDNEY: An Australian teenager was charged Thursday with breaking into the roof of a concert arena so he could throw eggs at Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber.

The 17-year-old heartthrob, touring Australia, has been mobbed by screaming girls at sold-out shows, but had eggs thrown at him when performing his first single "One Time" at a concert in Sydney on Friday.

None hit him and he finished singing the song before taking a break so the stage could be cleaned up.

Australian Associated Press said a 17-year-old Sydney resident was arrested at his home early Thursday and charged with breaking and entering, trespass and malicious damage following complaints from Acer Arena.

He was bailed to appear at a children's court on June 2.

Trump shows no hard feelings over Obama jokes

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Real estate mogul and possible Republican presidential contender Donald Trump said on Sunday that President Barack Obama did a "pretty good" job mocking him at a Washington gala on Saturday evening.

In remarks at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Saturday evening, Obama joked about the "birther" debate, Trump's possible presidential ambitions and his experience as a reality TV star.

"I thought some of what the president did was pretty good," Trump said in an interview on CNN.

"I understand it. It was a lion's pit. I was walking into it. I've been there before and I thought it was an entertaining evening," Trump said.

One of Obama's gags that most amused Trump, he said, were the images flashed on big ballroom screens of what was labeled "Trump, The White House," spoofing the businessman's practice of naming buildings after himself.

It portrayed a hotel-casino-golf course with bikini-clad girls frolicking in the fountain that adorns a White House lawn and gold columns substituted at the front for white ones.

Trump has seized on talk that Obama was not native born and therefore ineligible to be president. Obama last week released a longer version of his birth certificate to silence the debate.

Trump again took credit for forcing Obama to release the document but said he did not want to talk about the birther issue any more.

"The press kept asking the question and that's what it came to the forefront," he said. He said he'd rather talk about serious issues like jobs and the economy.

Trump, who has been testing the waters for a possible 2012 run for the Republican presidential nomination, said he would be "announcing something prior to June." He's holding back with an announcement until his reality TV show "Celebrity Apprentice" ends it's season on May 22, he said.

William and Kate to honeymoon in Seychelles: Mail

LONDON (AFP) – Prince William and his wife Kate will honeymoon at a luxury villa on an island in the Seychelles, according to Monday's Daily Mail newspaper.

The newly-weds delayed their honeymoon, but will jet out later this month to spend ten days at a £4,000 ($6,700, 4,500 euros) a night retreat in the Indian Ocean archipelago, the British paper reported.

The 28-year-old prince's protection officers reportedly visited the top-secret location to assess its suitability and were satisfied that the isolated resort would offer the required privacy.

The luxury wooden villa comes complete with an open-air bathroom, a private garden, a freshwater rock pool and a personal butler and chef.

A private jet will fly the newly-titled Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to the main island from where they will take a helicopter to the unnamed holiday hideaway, the paper claimed.

William, who is a search and rescue helicopter pilot at a Royal Air Force station in the Welsh island of Anglesey, was forced to split the annual leave needed for the wedding and honeymoon and is due back at work on Tuesday.

A helicopter carried the couple away from Buckingham Palace on Saturday, a day after the wedding which was watched by an estimated two billion people worldwide, to an undisclosed British location for a "mini-moon".

The royal family is thought to be prepared to take legal action to prevent any media outlet attempting to disrupt the couple's main trip.

Meanwhile, The Sun reported that William was to travel to the Falkland Islands in September where he will serve for ten weeks without his wife.

The south Atlantic island group was the scene of a war between Britain and Argentina in 1982.

Boxing legend Henry Cooper dies aged 76

LONDON (AFP) – Former British heavyweight champion Sir Henry Cooper, who famously knocked down Muhammad Ali in 1963, before becoming a cult hero for his lionhearted performances in the ring and modesty out of it, died on Sunday aged 76.

He passed away at his son's house at Oxted in Surrey, southern England, just two days short of his 77th birthday.

The London-born Cooper met Ali -- then known as Cassius Clay -- at Wembley in 1963, with the British fighter famously flooring the great American.

Many fans were convinced Cooper had been robbed of victory by some ringside trickery.

Towards the end of the fourth round of that non-title bout, Cooper floored Clay with a trademark left hook known as 'Enry's hammer'.

Ali, who later said the punch "not only shook me, it shook my relations in Africa," was saved by the bell and then aided by some quick thinking from trainer Angelo Dundee, who noticed a tear in Ali's gloves that he then opened up and brought to the attention of the referee.

In the time it took for new gloves to arrive from the dressing room, Ali recovered and in the next round stopped Cooper.

Three years later, with Ali now the world heavyweight champion, the pair met again in London and Cooper's face was a bloodied mess when the fight was halted in the sixth round.

Recalling the glove incident from their first bout, Cooper, who won the British, European and Commonwealth titles but never became a world champion, said: "I always say if the boot had been on the other foot Jim (Wicks, Cooper's manager) would have done something like that for me.

Diana funeral topped royal wedding in U.S. ratings

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Almost 23 million American TV viewers tuned in to watch live coverage of Prince William's marriage to Kate Middleton on Friday despite the wedding taking place before dawn in much of the United States.

But according to Nielsen ratings data released on Saturday, U.S. TV viewing interest in the British royal nuptials in London was far below that of Princess Diana's funeral in 1997.

Nielsen said 22.7 million Americans watched live coverage of the royal wedding on 11 U.S. networks. The U.S. population is about 310 million people.

In comparison, 33.2 million tuned in to watch the funeral of Princess Diana in London in September 1997. Diana, the mother of Prince William, was killed in car crash at the age of 36.

The Nielsen figures did not cover the millions more who watched Friday's wedding ceremony on smaller U.S. networks, nor online, where interest in the couple has rivaled coverage of superstar movie actresses and pop singers in recent months.

E! Online alone reported a record 23.6 million page views on Friday thanks mostly to its coverage of the London nuptials and live streaming of the royal wedding ceremony.

Worldwide, other estimates put the global television and online audience for the wedding at 2.4 billion people -- more than one in three of the global population if the figure is accurate.

Jackson doctor due in court to seek trial delay

LOS ANGELES – The doctor charged in Michael Jackson's death returns to court Monday to ask for a delay in his upcoming involuntary manslaughter trial.

The move comes two days before jury selection resumes, and one week before opening statements are scheduled to begin.

Dr. Conrad Murray had been seeking a speedy trial, but his attorneys asked for a delay late Friday to give them more time to prepare to rebut the opinions of newly-disclosed prosecution experts.

The Houston-based cardiologist is accused of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in the bedroom of the singer's rented mansion in June 2009. Murray has pleaded not guilty.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor said Friday that he would consider the delay request, but would not necessarily grant it.
