Kate Moss’ squeeze Pete Doherty, who just escaped  serious jail time, is now involved in something even more sinister.

The Sun online reports that a man who had a fight with Pete was found dead on the street.

They report:

Pete Doherty had a blazing row that “became physical” with an actor who fell to his death from a balcony shortly afterwards.

The ruck with Mark Blanco, 30, flared at a party in a grotty East London flat.

A source said: “Blanco arrived at Paul’s a little drunk. He and Pete started to niggle each other.

“It turned into a full blown argument, with insults being thrown on both sides. The argument got physical and Roundhill stepped in to break it up. He then asked Blanco to leave.

“A few minutes later some lads came rushing up to say there was a man lying in the street.”

Blanco, a 6ft 4in amateur actor and IT worker, was found outside the Whitechapel flat at 1am. He was rushed to hospital, where he died yesterday morning.

Cops are treating his death as “unexplained” and plan to quiz Kate Moss’s boyfriend Doherty.

A police source said: “He fell from a second floor balcony but at this stage we don’t believe anyone else was involved. However, statements are being taken from people in the flat.”

A hotel spokesman said: “There is evidence he took drugs, the carpet’s wrecked, there are smashed up bottles everywhere and the place is covered in blood.”

Star Magazine claims to have discovered the reason behind the Vaughniston split.. and this theory seems as good as any in their
mysterious relationship!

They report that the couple was still together on Thanksgiving, and that Vince refused Jen’s offer to spend the holiday in Los Angeles.  Instead, he hopped a three-and-a-half-hour flight to Budapest. On Nov. 25, while dining in a local restaurant with two pals, Vince befriended three female students at a nearby table — including Laura Mallory Lane, 20, a junior at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, who was on holiday while studying abroad in Rome.

The group proceeded to have a cocktail-fueled evening that ended with Vaughn and Lane (who goes by her middle name of Mallory) in bed together — all of it documented in an e-mail entitled, "I shacked with Vince Vaughn" that Lane sent to 22 of her Gamma sorority sisters two days later, says a source!

When the bars had closed at 2 a.m., Mallory wrote that the group ventured back to Vaughn’s hotel and Vaughn asked her to stay for another drink — which she did. "I did not feel pressured at all," Mallory wrote.

"We talked some more (and yes, we talked about Jen), and one thing led to another and obviously we were messing around before too long. We didn’t have sex, but it was just as good …"

Seems Jen heard about this and this was the final straw that facilitated the split!

Although with all the mixed messages between these two, who knows if they were even together in the first place!

U2 rocker Bono has entered the debate raging over Madonna’s adoption of a Malawi boy, and the Material Girl is not going to like his opinion.

He has made an offer to help the natural father of the 14-month-old boy so that he can keep his child.

Bono is reported to have said that he would like to offer Yohane Banda a job and that he believes Yohane would work well at Edun, his wife Ali Hewson’s ethical clothing label.

In comments reported by the Sun newspaper, Bono said: "We’re trying to get jobs to Africa - then people will be able to keep their children."

His comments are the latest in the debate about whether Madonna’s adoption of David Banda is ethical and if it would be better to invest money in the countries that many adopted children come from in order to allow them to stay there.

A full judicial review of the interim adoption order granted to Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie is to take place following an appeal by the Malawi Human Rights Consultative Committee (MHRCC), an alliance of 67 activist groups.

Looks like they’re no longer "just friends"!

According to Us online, Mario Lopez and his Dancing with the Stars partner Karina Smirnoff had a PDA-filled five days at the end of November while relaxing at Joe Francis’ estate in Mexico.

During a quick dip “she wrapped her legs around him, and they kissed for what seemed like forever,” says an onlooker of their beach frolics. “She was giggling and a little bit shy as he kissed her butt. Mario didn’t care and kept kissing her.”

Says a Lopez pal, “She bosses him around – and he loves it!”

Good news! Now you can talk away for hours on your cell and forget about those brain tumor worries.

The cell phone/brain tumor connection has officially entered the "urban legend" category.

Time online reports:

A massive study of just about every private cell phone user in Denmark shows no link between gabbing on your mobile and the development of brain tumors.

The 420,000 participants averaged about 8.5 years of cell phone use, although some of them had been using cell phones for as long as 21 years. But there was not even a hint of an increase in brain cancer incidence the longer they used the phone.

A closer examination of different types of brain cancer—from gliomas to acoutsic neuromas—showed no increase in brain cancer subtypes either, according to investigators, led by Joachim Schuz of the Institute of Cancer Epidemiology of the Danish Cancer Society in Copenhagen.

Unfortunately no study has determined how to make people gabbing in line in front of you any less irritating!

This morning on NBC, former Vice President Al Gore called Iraq the “worst strategic mistake in the history of the United States.”

He urged President Bush “to try to separate out the personal issues of being blamed in history for this mistake and instead recognize it’s not about him. It’s about our country and we all have to find a way to get our troops home and to prevent a regional conflagration there.”

Despite the fact that he says he’s not going to run for president in 2008, Gore sure is sounding like a candidate!

It has now been determined that close to 12,000 people cast ballots
in Cuyahoga County Ohio on Nov. 7 without signing in at their polling
places.

Elections officials believe people got in voting lines without realizing
they first had to show identification, as required by state law, and sign
the elections book. Workers assigned to give voters computer cards to
operate voting machines then failed to check whether the voters had
signed in and showed ID.

This latest gaffe further emphasizes the need for election reform in this country, first and foremost changing the electronic voting machines that have no paper trail!

Remember when Carson Daly was the happening TRL host
on MTV?

Well, things have sunk a long way since then. First, he was the poster
boy for "manorexia", a trend that swept through Hollywood…

His exercise mania after he got his own talk show led to
a super-gaunt frame, which inevitably inspired
other young men in Hollywood to be scary-skinny.

But that wasn’t the end of his downward spiral.
He now sports a hideous hairpiece and seems to have lost
his last shred of fashion sense:

He unveiled this sexy new look on his talk show last night.
Carson, you need an intervention!
