England’s famed auction house Christie’s has managed to get an original copy of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, the book that details the scientist’s theory of evolution. The book, first printed in 1859, was found on a toilet book shelf in a family home in southern England.
Insert your own evolutionist theory crap joke here.
The book, one of only 1,250 first editions printed, will be sold on Tuesday to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its first publication. Christie’s estimates the tome could bring as much as $99,000 USD.

Sarah Palin’s bus rolled into Noblesville, Indiana earlier this week…and left hundreds of disappointed fans in its wake. The former governor of Alaska was supposed to sign one thousand books for eager readers brandishing copies of her Going Rogue, but bailed on the event early.
Around three hundred fans were left with their books still unsigned, though they’d been given wristbands to guarantee a signature on their freshly-purchased Palin tomes. Listen to them roar in the video above.

Amy Winehouse to Wed Blake Again
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Break-ups, Divorce, Engagements, Weddings, Legal Issues, Rumors,
On what may be a result of more drug abuse, Amy Winehouse has asked her ex-husband to marry her again.
The “Back To Black” singer reportedly told Blake Fielder-Civil she was planning to wear her engagement ring again and the reconciled couple are now planning a wedding for three months time.
“We both know we’ve only ever been divorced on paper. This is the right thing to do. We’ve been talking on the phone five or six times a day. On Friday she told me she was going to put the engagement ring on. It’s the engagement ring I gave Amy the first time. I think it cost $3,000 from Tiffany. We’d changed our status to married on Facebook a couple of weeks back but that was more of a laugh. This is the real deal. She told me she wanted to get married again. I feel so happy,” Blake reportedly told a friend.
The wedding plans are currently on hold as under the terms of his prison release, Blake - who was jailed for attempting to pervert the course of justice and grievous bodily harm - is unable to return to London until February and is currently receiving treatment at a rehabilitation clinic in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England.

Shakira to Start Family After Album Release

Shakira wants to have a baby.
The 32-year-old singer, who has been engaged to Antonio de la Rua, 36, for the last four years, admits that her biological clock is ticking and she’s desperate to start a family.
“I’m dying to have a baby. We both are. I’d like two and Antonio would like three. So probably after my next album, which comes out next year. I don’t think it could be sooner because in 2010 I’ll be touring as well. In fact, my biological clock is already ticking and I don’t know how to describe it. It’s just becoming a physical need now.”
The pop star, who met Antonio nine years ago in a restaurant in Argentina, knew straight away he was “The One”: “The minute I walked in, I saw him sitting, and I thought, ‘That man is for me, he’s the man of my life.’ I kept staring at him until I got to meet him that night. And then I just followed my intuition and everything worked out. Frankly, meeting him that night was like winning the lottery.”
Although Shakira is engaged, she doesn’t plan to marry Antonio anytime soon. She said, “I think it’s more romantic to be that eternal girlfriend. We’re happy the way things are. Our relationship is strong and steady.”

Kim Cattrall Says Cougar Stereotype is Over

Kim Cattrall wants to make the most of being comfortable with sex.
The 51-year-old actress - famed for her man-eating character in the Sex and the City series and movies - says she’s over the trend of older women dating younger men and thinks the stereotype of a so called “cougar” is dead.
“Cougar is passe. I think we’re on to something else now. It’s not about kitten or cougar - we’re moving beyond those stereotypes. It’s about so much more than just being a woman on the prowl - there’s a lot more going on than that. We’ve done the work, let’s enjoy the party. Let’s not limit ourselves to labels. ‘Cougar’ makes it all feel one-dimensional. It’s not.”
Kim, who recently split from her toyboy chef boyfriend Alan Wyse, says she owes a lot to her on-screen alter-ego for showing the world that women who enjoy sex also have other important things going on in their lives: “It’s why I feel ‘cougar’ is way over now. It’s gone beyond that. It’s about a fully realized woman who works and plays and is successful and does all those things on her own terms. That’s much more rounded than a cougar could ever be.”
Sting has seen his share of things.
The Police frontman claims to have seen the apparition of a woman, witnessed flying objects and heard strange voices at a home he once lived in with wife Trudie Styler. One night, the terrified 58-year-old singer - who sang “Spirits in the Material World” in the 80s - awoke to see a ghostly mother holding a baby in the corner of the room.

Divorce for Dawson’s Creek Star James Van Der Beek
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Divorce,
James Van Der Beek has filed for divorce.
The former Dawson’s Creek star split from actress Heather McComb earlier this year and has now started legal proceedings to officially end their six-year marriage. The papers were filed at a Los Angeles court and James cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their break-up.
The pair tied the knot in Malibu in 2003, six months after the sixth and final season of Dawson’s Creek aired. James’ co-stars Michelle Williams and Busy Phillips attended the intimate ceremony.
Friends suspected a divorce was brewing when the couple sold their $2.5 million home in Studio City, California, in March. They put the mansion - which features 180-degree canyon, mountain and city views, and a luxurious mist cooling system - on the market.
Since they tied the knot, James - who played Dawson Leery in the teen drama - has guest starred in How I Met Your Mother, One Tree Hill, Ugly Betty and Medium.
Heather has appeared in Prison Break, Crossing Jordan and CSI: NY.
Hayden Panettiere Shows Off Sex Appeal
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Television, Style, Photos,
Photographer Tyler Shields recently shot Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere in a sexed-up photo shoot containing machine guns and champagne (is she old enough for that yet?).
Okay, we really get it, Hayden—you’re hot! Do we really need the exhibitionist outfits and topless photos? I promise you that we realize you’re no longer that cute girl from Remember the Titans or Neutrogena commercials.
If you, however, are one of those drooling over the picture above, check out more pictures and a video (this is where the champagne comes in) after the jump!

Desperate Housewives Affects Sex Life for Eva Longoria
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sports, Television, Rumors,
Hit TV show, Desperate Housewives is affecting Eva Longoria Parker’s sex life!
The actress admits she and husband Tony Parker can only get steamy between the sheets at weekends because of her filming schedule in Hollywood and his commitments to his basketball team the San Antonio Spurs, who are based in Texas.
“I work three to four days per week. And then I fly to Texas to spend a long weekend with Tony. So we only have sex during the weekend.”
Eva and Tony’s lovemaking time is further reduced by her interests away from the show. The 34-year-old actress has set up her own production company and owns a Hollywood restaurant Beso, which serves Mexican food, and admits she hates not being busy.
“I can never sit still and must always be doing something. I founded my own production company. We have already developed three TV shows and are currently working on two film projects. At the same time Tony and I are building a house in San Antonio and this takes a very long time. Luckily, I inherited my mother’s multi-tasking gene. But you have to set priorities!”
