 Jessica
Simpson Brawl |
TMZ reports: Jessica Simpson has the power
to turn men into blood-thirsty, violent animals. During a weekend shopping
excursion, her mere presence ignited a WWE-style rumble between paparazzi
and a herd of security guards.
As Jess left a shopping spree in Century
City, tension between mall security and pursuing paps reached a high; erupting
into all-out battle.
After a security guard pushed a photog
out of Jessica's way, two photogs responded by unleashing a flurry of punches.

Bus Crash, No One Croaked |
sleazeroxx.com reports: "Angel of my dreams"
is their current single off the "Hellraiser" album. They met their "Guardian
Angel" in form of their female bus driver through Sweden during the band's
current extensive European Tour. A new bus driver took over in Oslo/Norway
and the "Guardian Angel" pointed out that the weight distribution in the
bus and trailer was unbalanced and made sure that equipment was shifted
accordingly before them taking off from Oslo via Denmark on their way to
Hamburg Germany.
The band had looked forward to a day of
rest on the 22nd of January on their day off. And then it happened without
warning. Outside Rodby, south of Copenhagen/Denmark, a car slid into a
truck. Trying to avoid a collision with the tour bus and the small car,
the tour bus driver hit the back of a steel truck with the front window
shattering and slid into the railing of the highway on the icy highway
instead. If there would not have been the railing, the bus would have overturned.
It was a miracle that no one was seriously
hurt. Just some cuts & bruises (which adds to the image of a hard rock
band, I guess!). The musicians exited the tour bus through a side window.
Tony and Stefan helped the tour bus driver to exit the bus through the
driver's door. His leg was jammed between steering wheel and body of bus.[see
