Vermont Governor to step down in 2010

Republican Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas announced Thursday he will not seek re-election, putting the state in the category of competitive races in 2010.

Douglas, 58, who is serving his fourth two-year term, told a news conference at Montpelier he will not seek another political office, The Washington Post reported.

"It's been the great privilege of my life to serve the people of this state that I love so well," Douglas said. "But as any farmer knows after many years of working sunup to sundown, seven days a week, there comes a time to turn over the reins to fresh arms. For me, that time is approaching."

Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie is a Republican, but it's unclear whether he wants to run for the state's top job.

"The governor's announcement today changes the political landscape in Vermont. As Vermonters reflect on this new landscape, I will contemplate my options. Right now, I will focus on doing my job," Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie said.

Dubie was noncommittal regarding his role in the 2010 gubernatorial race, the newspaper said.

Piven Prevails in Contract Dispute

Jeremy Piven lost a role in a Broadway show to mercury poisoning, but he won the contract dispute over his abrupt departure. Months after Piven was forced to abandon his role in 'Speed-the-Plow,' a professional arbiter has ruled Piven did not his breach his contract with the Broadway producers for leaving the revival of the David Mamet play.

In December, Piven's doctor said the actor was suffering from mercury poisoning after eating too much fish.

Piven says in a statement that he's pleased with the outcome and says he's been vindicated.

The producers, meanwhile, expressed disappointment. They says they respect the decision, but strongly disagree with it.
 
At the time of Piven's departure, playwright David Mamet told Daily Variety, "I talked to Jeremy on the phone, and he told me that he discovered that he had a very high level of mercury. So my understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer."

Piven is also known for playing Hollywood agent Ari on "Entourage."

Madonna Booed in Bucharest by Band of Gypsy Haters

Thousands of Romanian concertgoers made their displeasure known with Madonna on Wednesday, after the singer paused her show to speak out against the persecution of Gypsies in that corner of Europe.

"It's been brought to my attention that there's a lot of discrimination against Romani and Gypsies in general in eastern Europe, and that makes me very sad," she told the crowd of 60,000 in Bucharest. As she spoke, a vocal minority began booing her words. She did not acknowledge the jeers. Watch video after the jump.

When she proclaimed, "We believe in freedom and equal rights for everyone!", you can actually hear people yelling "No!", however the cheers of approving fans eventually drowned out the grumbling.

Many of the dancers and musicians in Madonna's show were Gypsies, also known as Roma.

According to the Associated Press, there are some 500,000 Roma in Romania, but the real number could total around 2 million. They have long faced prejudice and discrimination in eastern European nations.

Kelly Osbourne's Addiction to Vicodin

Kelly Osbourne became addicted to Vicodin by the time she was 17, she has revealed. In her new book 'Fierce,' Osbourne reveals she was prescribed the pill and was soon taking up to 50 tablets a day because it gave her the confidence to cope with the new-found fame during filming of MTV's 'The Osbournes.'

"By this point I was waking up and emptying six Vicodin into my hand. Soon I was taking 50 pills a day. Most people would overdose on 10. My friends called me 'Noddy' because I fell asleep all the time," she said.

Osbourne also reveals the addiction only got worse when her mother Sharon was diagnosed with cancer. "My parents suspected. Mum would say, 'Darling, are you taking something? Please tell your mummy.' But I was good at lying," she said.

The reality TV star, who has been in rehab four times, admits she first experienced the effects of the strong opiate when she had her tonsils taken out at 13 and admits she enjoyed the feeling it gave her.

However, Kelly's parents, Sharon and legendary heavy metal hellraiser Ozzy Osbourne, soon discovered their daughter was lying and sent her to Malibu's Promises clinic to get help.

Although she spent 30 days there receiving treatment, Osbourne admits she wasn't ready to beat her addiction and did a further three stints in different rehab centers with the last one finally making her realize she had a serious problem. "After 30 days, I left rehab. For the first time, I felt hopeful. I knew I'd been given another chance at my life, at my career, at happiness. I wanted to grab it," she said.

LAPD describe the suspects as being between the ages of 18-25 -- one white male and two white females. And it seems like Lohan may know the suspects.



Lohan sent out a Twitter message yesterday -- and it looks like her robbers might be old friends. "That's how i know it was not a ROBBERY. electronics weren't taken... just things that a certain old friend knew meant a lot to me."

Do you think if could have been her old flame?? Samantha? Collecting her stuff?

Mischa Barton: I Hit 'Rock Bottom'

After being placed under psychiatric hold for a month, Mischa Barton is coming clean about her hospitalization. Blaming her hectic schedule and "terrible" wisdom tooth surgery, Barton says her life just got really bad, Time Out New York reports.

"I was down in the dumps about everything there for a while. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom about things and have to get the most stressed out just to feel better again. I got completely stressed out and couldn't handle everything, and now I feel really in control," Barton revealed.

"I went through a tough spot where everything compounded on me, and it was like a perfect storm, like everything was happening to me at once," she said.

The 'Homecoming' star said before she started filming the CW show 'The Beautiful Life,' she had been traveling abroad "for contract stuff" and then had a wisdom tooth surgery that went wrong and is "still just healing."

"I had to get through it without proper painkillers because I couldn't take those during work," she said of the procedure. "So it's been a nightmare."

Barton denies she had a mental breakdown but says the whole ordeal "was pretty bad." The 23-year-old actress admits, "I'm not sure I'm capable of a full-on nervous breakdown, but it was pretty bad. It didn't last that long. It was more about the pain."

"The funny thing is, if all this happened in New York, no one would care. New York lets you be who you are, and people aren't as judgmental. I'm so glad to be back here," she added.

Michael Jackson Burial Triples in Price

The Jackson family's decision to move Michael's burial from a Saturday to a Thursday is gonna cost some serious dough -- at least three times the original price!

According to the Glendale police, the cost for the weekend service would have ran about $50,000 -- 90% of which goes to police handling street closures, security and perimeter control.

But officials say the Jackson family will now have to fork over "at least triple the price" to contract the cops for a weekday burial.

As for the cemetery, we're told it will be on total lockdown -- with security patrolling from the ground and from the air. At least one police chopper will be keeping an eye from the sky.

Brown headed straight to Guys & Dolls with a bunch of his friends an bodyguards. He entertained the crowd by dancing to Michael Jackson's 'Dirty Diana'. Shouldn't he have been dancing to Britney Spears 'Womanizer'...

He didn't apprear that he cared that all eyes were on the womaning beater... Hmmm... What a JERK.

A person who witenessed his behavior was quoted saying "He was in a totally good mood, just hanging out with his buddies. Then all of a sudden he decided to put on a little show," the source added. "Everyone went wild."
Earlier that day, a judge ordered Brown to serve five years probation and perform six months of community service for his role in the February attack. The singer will serve out his sentence in his home state of Virginia, and will have to check in frequently with the Los Angeles judge who sentenced him.

Brown was also ordered to stay 100 yards away from Rihanna during the period of his probation.

Brown assaulted Rihanna during Grammy weekend in February, reportedly punching and beating her inside of his car after an argument. He was arrested hours after the incident, and plead guilty to a felony assault charge in June.

This summer, Brown apologized to fans, saying what he did "was inexcusable," but promised to learn from his mistakes.
