Beginning in 2008, art buyer Joao Tovar paid $481,625 for 10 sculptures of the word PREM, a Sanskrit term meaning "love," from a one-time business partner of renowned pop artist Robert Indiana, Tovar said in the lawsuit filed in superior court in Rockland, Maine. ...

American Idol: Which Singer Got Three Standing Ovations From The Judges?
Joshua Ledet never fails to amaze.
The Westlake, Louisiana gospel prodigy, 20, set the stage on fire yet again, bringing judges Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, and the audience, out of their chairs with amazing renditions of Etta James' I'd Rather Be Blind, John Lennon's Imagine and Mary J. Blige's No More Drama.
"This is another Joshua moment," Tyler said after Joshua's cover of the Etta James song. "Out of 70,000, there's only one American Idol, and you sang like that one tonight!"
PHOTOS: American Idol's Most Memorable Contestants
On the night, all three competitors -- Joshua, Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez -- had to sing three song selections apiece: one of their own, one from the judges and one from mentor Jimmy Iovine.
Jessica, a 16-year-old San Diego native, thrived singing Mariah Carey's My All, Aerosmith's I Don't Want to Miss a Thing and the Jackson 5's I'll Be There.
"When you sing, you make people hang on your every note," Steven told her. "You'll be the last one standing here, I believe."
The outgoing J.Lo told Jessica, "It was hard, but you did it so beautifully."
Phillip Phillips stayed strong, taking on Matchbox 20's Disease, Bob Seger's We've Got Tonight and Madcon's Beggin'.
"The perfect song, at the perfect time, and your best performance on the show ever," Jackson told the Leesburg, Georgia pawn shop worker after his performance of the Seger ballad.

Following his performance of Beggin', Tyler compared Phillip to the great Bruce Springsteen.
"I'm really hoping you write your own songs because you could be the new age Boss," Steven said.
The hometown segments showed how far the young singers have come in their quest for fame and glory: Josh said he felt like the president visiting home with a police escort; Jessica paid a visit to the USS Midway; and Phillip had a heartwarming exchange with his dad.

Jack The Ripper Was A Woman Claims Expert, They Were 'Crimes Of Jealousy, Envy & Passion'
By Debbie EmeryRadar Reporter
Could the most infamous and horrific crime of its time, and one of the most notorious cold cases in history, have been committed by a woman?
That is the theory suggested in a new book, Hand Of A Woman, about Jack the Ripper, and RadarOnline.com has exclusive details on the compelling evidence from author John Morris, who claims to know the identity of the murderer who has mystified investigators for over a century.
“It is a controversial theory to say that a woman is the murderer, but these were crimes of jealously, envy and passion and all very female-oriented,” Morris told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.
PHOTOS: Celebs Involved In Murder
The former solicitor and “Ripperology” expert from Dublin, Ireland has spent the past 50 years researching the notorious killer who terrorized the streets of Victorian-era London and grossly mutilated at least five (and possibly as many as 11) prostitutes between April 1888 and February 1891.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported the grisly nickname stemmed from the bodies being literally ripped apart with a sharp knife, and three even had their internal organs removed, prompting speculation that the killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge, and has since been immortalized in countless books, films, TV series and stage shows.
“The most stunning thing is there is no evidence that the killer was a man,” revealed Morris, who began scouring police witness statements, medical reports and inquests scripts from the cold cases when his late father first suggested ‘Jack’ may have actually been ‘Jacqueline.’
PHOTOS: Celebrity Death Threats
One of the most key pieces of evidence that he claims supports his theory were three items of women’s clothing that were found burned in victim number five, Mary Kelly’s, fireplace.
“It was always considered that they were hers, but it seems to be they were the killer’s clothes and she burned them and then took Mary’s clothes to escape,” explained Morris.
“One of the anomalies of the case is that a witness saw a woman in Mary’s clothes afterwards and thought that it was her and investigators could never explain that.”
PHOTOS: Celebrities Who Died In Bizarre Circumstances
In fact, Morris claims that Kelly is at the heart of the ground-breaking revelation and is directly connected to the new prime suspect.
“Royal gynecologist Sir John Williams is believed to have been having an affair with the last victim (Mary) and it was alleged that he killed her. My father had a gift for seeing the obvious and he realized that it was William's wife, Lizzie, that had the motive,” explained Morris. “We decided to open an investigation to look into it and everything kept pointing back to Lizzie.”
Trapped in an unhappy and childless marriage, Lizzie’s only route of escape was cut off when, in the summer of 1888, her family fortune was lost. Dependent on her husband for wealth, reputation and security, Morris argues that Lizzie would have done anything to defend her marriage and keep her man.
PHOTOS: Celebs Who Have Done Jail Time
Many assume that a woman would not be capable, or strong enough, to commit the heinous murders, but the author revealed that the opposite is in fact true.
“Between 1888 and Feb 2012 there have been 30 Ripper-type attacks – women who had their throats slit, stomachs cut open and wombs cut out – 29 have been caught and they were all women,” he told RadarOnline.com.
“This type of attack is a woman-only crime. It’s maternal instincts gone amok, according to psychologists, and in fact, the Ripper coroner, Wynne Baxter, said the uterus was the organ the murderer was determined to possess.”
The Whitechapel murders have long thought to have been committed by a sexual predator, but although the victim's clothing was rearranged, none of the women were raped.
Besides the fact that a woman was not convicted of anything of that magnitude until two years later, one of the main reasons why it is assumed the killer was a man stems from the famous “From Hell” letters that were sent to Scotland Yard that claimed responsibility for the murders and were signed ‘Jack The Ripper.’
“It instilled in the public conscious that he was a man and the world has never looked back,” said the author. “However, since then it has been proven that the incriminating letter was penned by Frederick Best, who worked for the Star newspaper in London."
Over the years a slew of suspects stemming from rich to poor -- including Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, Royal obstetrician Sir John Williams, David Cohen, James Kelly, and even Lewis Carroll, author of Alice In Wonderland -- have been investigated but Morris said none of them can be conclusively connected to all of the victims.
“It is a shoe that doesn’t really fit. Lizzie Williams is the only one who ticks all the boxes,” Morris explained.

John Travolta Sex Scandal: Anonymous Email To Atlanta Resort Could Help The Actor
By Jen HegerRadar Assistant Managing Editor
An anonymous email was sent to bigwigs at the posh Atlanta resort that employs a masseur who alleges John Travolta sexually assaulted him, and the correspondence could help the Grease star’s case, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
The second masseur suing Travolta for sexual assault and battery, sent several emails to his bosses the day after the alleged incident occurred, but made no mention of Travolta, nor the alleged incident.
Travolta's lawyer, Marty Singer, has vehemently denied the allegations.
John Travolta Second Sexual Assault Accuser Documented Alleged Attack In Emails To Bosses
In the new email dated February 23, 2012 and reviewed by RadarOnline.com, the anonymous sender who claims to work at the hotel wrote to John Doe #2's bosses at the resort:"I am writing this email as a concerned employee. As you can see I will not use my personal email due to the fact that I may be related against. I am concerned about a fellow team member, John Doe.
"After the incident that I heard about this evening that occurred I felt the need to contact someone in upper management hoping that something will be done so that we will not lose him. If I heard about this incident from others, you should be worried about who else knows about this."The incident that I am referring to is that he was asked to massage a celebrity client that was inappropriate. This was a male celebrity client that caused him to report to management about these inappropriate acts. Today he was asked to massage this same celebrity client. My question to the employee that told me about this was why would they put in back into that situation.
"As I witness him leave, he was his usual professional, friendly person as he is but you could tell something was weighing heavy on him. Because I only have a professional relationship, I felt that it may not be appropriate to ask what was wrong. I don't have any doubt if this happen to a female this company would not put her back into that situation."
The email does contain spelling errors that haven't been edited out by RadarOnline.com. Interestingly, the sender refers to the masseur as John Doe, almost two months before he filed the lawsuit under that alias.
However, in the lawsuit filed by John Doe #2's attorney, Okorie Okorocha, he stated the alleged incident took place on January 28, 2012, a month before this email was sent to the masseur's bosses. Okorocha confirms that the email "absolutely refers to what John Travolta did to my client, but I can't explain the mix-up of the dates, the person must have been wrong."
Okorocha also says his client only massaged Travolta in January, and wasn't asked to do so in February 2012, or any time thereafter.
Second Male Masseur Files $2M Sexual Battery Lawsuit Against John Travolta
"I hope this email reaches someone that can help him. Because if this is happening to me on a regular I would seek legal action against the hotel. If I don't see any changes in these matters, I will take upon myself and leave him a note with lawyers he can contact. Do something now or you will pay later? Sexual harassment by employee and/or guest is against the law and should be not tolerated by *** Hotels," the unknown sender says.
The general manager of the hotel responded to the anonymous email on February 24, 2012 writing, "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I wish to assure you that I will personally be following up on this matter. If you would like to discuss this directly, my direct phone number is 404-995-**** and my mobile 770-881-****."
John Travolta Sex Accuser ‘John Doe’ Says He Has Proof Of Affair
The general manager has since left the Atlanta hotel -- which RadarOnline.com is not disclosing to protect the identity of the alleged victim -- and isn't answering his cell phone.
The supposed employee responds with gratitude, and says in what appears to be the final email communication on Sunday, February 26, 2012:
"Thank you Mr. *** for responding to my email. I will trust you that you will take care of this situation. No one should be forced to work on a client that has been inappropriate and no one male or female should have to deal with an employee making inappropriate and/or sexual comments when they are not invited."John has inspired me as well as others do better because of his positivity in an environment where negativity has been the norm. He has truly been an asset to our team. I was excited to learn he would be in management but not surprised when he stepped down. The problem was that people did not want to change or held accountable for what they were hired to do: a job.
"You as well as *** Hotel should recognize the blessing this individual is to our environment. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you but I will decline and trust your words that you will look into these situations. I just hope you don't pass it down to management and nothing is done.
"Thank you again for your time, I recognize how precious it is and how busy you are. Thank you again."
While the email appears to point to some sexual harassment, it also pokes major holes in John Doe #2's timeline, and it's not the first time in the Travolta sex scandal that this has happened.
John Doe #1 claimed John sexually assaulted him in Los Angeles on January 16, 2012 but John's attorney not only denied the charges, he also provided proof that his client was in New York on the day the assault allegedly took place.
John Doe #1 has subsequently claimed that his original date was a "miscalculation" and that the alleged assault actually took place a few days earlier.
John Travolta Sexual Battery Accuser Afraid But Ready To Go To Trial
Okorocha formally had the first accuser's lawsuit dismissed, and John Doe #1 is now being represented by famed civil rights attorney Gloria Allred.
"I represent John Doe #1. Mr. Doe's lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice which means that he is still legally entitled to file another lawsuit against John Travolta if he chooses. We are in the process of conferring with him regarding the next steps, which he may wish to take. Our client and our firm has no further comment at this time," Allred told RadarOnline.com.
John Travolta Being Sued By Male Masseur For Sexual Battery
Okorocha continues to represent the Atlanta masseur, and is seeking $2 million dollars in damages, but told us he would settle the case quickly for $250,000.

Russell Brand On Katy Perry: 'I Love Her As A Human Being … I Don't Regret It'
Russell Brand tells The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday he still loves his ex Katy Perry, and doesn't regret his relationship with her, which ended when the couple split after only 14 months of marriage late last year.
The Get Him To The Greek star said, "I still love her as a human being. But, sometimes when you’re in a relationship I suppose it doesn’t work out, does it? But that doesn’t mean I regret it or anything. I was very happy to be married with her.
"She’s such a beautiful human being and I just have only love and positivity for her," he said to cheers from a sympathetic audience.

"You can’t absolutely make everything the way you want it to be in life," the lanky comedian reasoned. "Sometimes thing are just different and then you to just move with that and try and remain in contact with what is beautiful about yourself and each other … with any situation.
Ellen agreed with Russell's statements, adding her own two cents on the complexities of love lost.
"I think people forget that," she said. "They get together for a reason. Because you love someone or attracted and or there is something good in the beginning, and some how when it ends how ever long or short you forget all the wonderful things about that person that you loved.
"I think it’s important to hold on, like you said," Ellen told Russell.
"Just remain beautiful -- that is still a person I still consider to be beautiful and I have nothing but positivity for her," he said.
These days, Katy's been spotted with Robert Ackroyd, a hunky guitarist for the band Florence + The Machine, while Russell's been seen spending time with stunning model-artist Oriela Medellin.

As we previously reported, Brand filed for divorce from Perry December 30 following a 14-month marriage which began with a lavish India wedding.

Star Scandals! Celebrities Whose Careers Have Taken Hits Because Of Personal Problems
Lindsay Lohan isn’t the only Hollywood star who has suffered a career setback because of personal problems!
The troubled starlet, who is attempting to get her acting career back on track by playing Elizabeth Taylor in an upcoming Lifetime movie, is just one of several stars in Hollywood history whose career has taken a hit because of their personal problems. RadarOnline.com has photos of 10 stars who have suffered career setbacks because of their scandalous personal lives.
PHOTOS: 10 Celebrities Who’ve Wrecked Their Own Careers
Winona Ryder, who was engaged to Johnny Depp for three years in the early 1990s seemed to be unstoppable after several smash hits at the box office including Beetlejuice, Heathers, Edward Scissorhands, Mermaids and Reality Bites, but a 2001 arrest for shoplifting and her subsequent hiatus from Hollywood took a toll on her career. The actress has appeared in a variety of films since, including 2010’s The Black Swan, but hasn’t been able to claim the box office like she did earlier in her career.
Macaulay Culkin is one of the most famous child stars of all times! Becoming an overnight international star in Home Alone, Culkin went on to star in a slew of films throughout his youth. Marrying actress Rachel Miner in his teens and divorcing her after just a few years, he went on to date Mila Kunis for nearly a decade. In 2004, Culkin was arrested for possession of drugs, which resulted in three deferred one-yearsentence, a court fine and mandatory drug treatment. In recent years he has appeared in a few minor movies, and was photographed recently looking shockingly gaunt in New York City.
Randy Quaid enjoyed several years of Hollywood success and amassed several awards and nominations, so the world was shocked when he and his wife Evi were arrested in 2009 for ditching a $10,000 hotel bill in Santa Barbara. In the following months, the couple failed to appear in court multiple times and multiple warrants were issued, before they finally appeared and were slapped on the wrist for the incidents. But their legal troubles didn’t end there! They went on to get in trouble with the law for illegally occupying a property and then proceeded to get arrested at the Canadian border where they applied for refugee status, claiming that the “Hollywood star whackers” wanted to kill them.

Matthew McConaughey On Stripping In Magic Mike: 'I Don’t Need A Stunt A**'
A-lister Matthew McConaughey has a huge following among the gay community, and in a new chat with The Advocate, the tantalizing Texan opens up about the sexy turn he takes in Magic Mike, his new film based on the hunk-laden world of male stripping.
Asked if he needed any body doubles, Matthew said, "No way. That’s all me up there. I don’t need a stunt ass."
Matthew said the chiseled fellas in the film all put in serious time at the gym getting ready for the revealing roles.

"Everybody was pretty damn ripped already, but boy, if you really want to get men in great shape, just tell them they’re going to play male strippers in a movie and have their sh*t onscreen for the rest of time," he said. "Vanity, baby."
The actor says the gay community should be "pumped" and "come out in droves" for the film.
"I think they’ll come out more excited then they came in," he said. "I look forward to hearing the chatter of the gay community after they see it, including their answer to your question of, 'Who’s the hottest?'"

Touching on more relevant social issues, Matthew recalled when he stood up for gay friends in high school and college who were getting bullied.
"I’m not even sure where I got the instinct from, but I’ve always taken up for the underdog," he said. "I suppose I learned that from my brothers, because my brothers always had that instinct too, and we’re all very hetero."
As for his politics, Matthew says he's for anything life-affirmative.

"I’m for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who’s different," he said. "You know those World Cup banners about tolerance? I always thought that was one short.
"No, don’t just tolerate me: Understand and accept me."
Magic Mike, also starring Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Olivia Munn and Kevin Nash, hits theaters June 29.

Bollywood Actress Slammed For Not Losing Baby Weight 6 Months After Giving Birth
Not everyone can lose baby weight overnight like Victoria Beckham!
Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who Julia Roberts dubbed “the most beautiful woman in the world,” is being slammed by fans in her native India for not dropping all the weight that she gained during her first pregnancy, and RadarOnline.com has the shocking details.
The 38-year-old stunner, who gave birth to a baby girl in November 2011, was photographed on April 28 showing off a fuller face, spawning fans in her homeland to revolt against their beloved actress, calling the photos “shocking” and pointing out her “double chin.”

In one video posted on YouTube dubbed ‘Aishwarya Rai’s Shocking Weight Gain,’ the former Miss World’s weight gain is chronicled and even features sound bites of an elephant in the background.
“Aishwarya Rai Bachan post her pregnancy seems to be looking rather plump instead of losing some of her flab after the baby's delivery,” states the description of the video. “The Bachchan bahu seems to be taking motherhood very seriously and seems to have shockingly put on at least five to six kilos.”
“She needs to learn from people like Victoria Beckham who are back to size zero weeks after their delivery,” a comment on one of the videos reads.
"She is a Bollywood actress and being a part of showbiz it is her duty to look good and fit. Till now she has been praised for her beauty, so it is only fair that she should also be criticized if she is not able to live up to it,” another commenter states.
Rai will be hitting the Cannes Film Festival with her 6-month-old, according to her rep.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Wife Mary Was 'Depressed & Despondent' Before Suicide
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, was "depressed and despondent" shortly before she committed suicide, a source close to the former architect tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
The long time friend, who spoke to Mary on Monday, said they were sadly not surprised by reports that the 52-year-old had taken her own life, as she was facing mounting financial woes and the end of her marriage.
As RadarOnline.com was first to report, Mary was discovered dead at her Mount Kisco, New York home Wednesday. A source told RadarOnline.com that she had committed suicide, we have since confirmed that she hanged herself in a barn.
"I spoke to Mary on Monday and she sounded extremely down," the source tells RadarOnline.com. "She was very depressed and despondent and worried about the future.
PHOTOS: Celebrities We Lost In 2011
"Mary said she was facing financial ruin, with American Express coming after her hard for an outstanding debt, along with several other creditors. In addition, she was concerned that Robert was about to substantially reduce the amount of financial support he gave her and she was terrified she would have to file for bankruptcy and lose her home."
Mary was married to the famed Kennedy for 16 years, before he filed for divorce in May 2010. The couple had four children together.
PHOTOS: Stars Who Died In Bizarre Ways
Mary lived at the family home in Mount Kisco, while Robert spent the majority of his time in Los Angeles.
"Robert still supported Mary and was there for her whenever he could be, but he had pretty much moved on," a source close to the radio host previously told RadarOnline.com. "He has been dating Cheryl Hines for a while now and they are very happy together."
PHOTOS: Celebs We Lost In 2010
The initial source tells RadarOnline.com that Mary was struggling to come to terms with the end of their marriage, despite Robert having filed for divorce two years previously, and that the couple was heading to trial.
"It was very tough for Mary to deal with Robert dating someone else," the source says. "And it really didn't help that the new woman is a celebrity. She would see photos of the two of them together and it would drive her nuts. I think, deep down, she had still harbored a belief they would get back together but it had recently become blindingly clear that wasn't to be."
PHOTOS: Celebrities Found Dead In Famous Hotels
"Mary was in a very dark place recently," the second source told RadarOnline.com previously. "Robert tried to help her all he could but it was difficult for him to be around her. Robert is committed to his sobriety but Mary had chosen a whole different path to take."
Mary was charged with driving under the influence in May 2010 by the Bedford, New York police after she failed a number of sobriety tests and her blood alcohol level registered at 0.11. The incident occurred just three days after Robert filed for divorce.
PHOTOS: Celebrity Death Threats
"Mary has struggled with alcoholism throughout her life," her friend tells RadarOnline.com. "She had been hitting the bottle again pretty heavily recently.
"When I heard the news that she may have taken her own life I was devastated, but not that surprised. It was in the back of my mind that she may do something like this, and that was compounded by the conversation I had with her Monday.
PHOTOS: Celebs Who Have Battled Drinking Problems
"However she died though, this is an absolute tragedy. Mary was an amazing and beautiful person and she absolutely adored her children. It is a devastating loss to all that knew her."
“We deeply regret the death of our beloved sister Mary, whose radiant and creative spirit will be sorely missed by those who loved her," a Kennedy family representative told RadarOnline.com. "Our heart goes out to her children who she loved without reservation. We have no further comment at this time.”

By Jen Heger - Radar Assistant Managing Editor

The new accuser, making a total of four to date, is a gym employee who accuses the Grease star of groping and fondling him against his will.
PHOTOS: Top Celebrity Sex Scandals
"As a result of the published lies about my client we expect some 'John Does' to come out of the woodwork and assert false claims," Marty Singer tells RadarOnline.com, adding that he has not yet been contacted by an attorney representing the new accuser.
The previous three men comprise of John Doe #1, a masseur who has recently hired Gloria Allred to represent him after being dropped by his previous attorney; an Atlanta based masseur, who is being represented by Okorie Okorocha and Chilean-born former cruise line employee, Fabian Zanzi.
The gym employee/personal trainer claims he would open the gym for Travolta when he was on location for a film shoot, after hours. "The gym was opened as a courtesy to John Travolta so that he could avoid the public yet maintain his fitness in this physically challenging role that he was doing at the time. The gym employee says that John Travolta groped and fondled him against his will," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com.
Travolta's powerhouse attorney, Marty Singer has vehemently denied the allegations.
PHOTOS: Indecent Exposure! Stars Bring Little Too Much To Beach
Travolta has been married to actress Kelly Preston since 1991. The couple's oldest child, Jett, died in 2009. The couple have two other children, daughter, Ella Bleu, and their toddler son, Benjamin, born in 2010.
