    Don't do it pet! Cheryl Cole's family beg her not to forgive cheating ex Ashley as rumours of reconciliation heat up
    By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
    ©Clash: Cheryl Cole's family are begging her not to forgive cheating ex Ashley
    Cheryl Cole's concerned family and friends are urging her to reconsider letting ex-husband Ashley back into her life.
    Reports today claim that the singer's mother Joan Callaghan is furious that her cheating former son-in-law may have wormed his way back into Cheryl's heart.
    The 27-year-old singer yesterday told confidantes she will not rule out a reconciliation with the Chelsea and England footballer, 30, who had a string of affairs during their marriage.
    ©Furious: Cheryl's mother Joan Callaghan is understood to have challenged her daughter's judgement in letting the footballer back in her life
    But Joan is said to have challenged her daughter's judgement, asking, 'How many times do you want your heart broken?' the Daily Mirror reports.
    Cheryl's family and friends believe that 'once a cheat, always a cheat - and Ashley will go and break her heart again,' a source told the paper.
    Close friends of Mrs Cole last night confirmed she returned to their £5million marital home in Surrey three weeks ago to spend the evening with him.

    A source said the couple did not share a bed, but added: 'Who knows what is going to happen in the future with them?
    'Ashley is a predator, he likes a challenge and Cheryl is so tired and emotional that she may just give in.
    'He is the only man she has ever truly loved and that's a powerful thing – and Ashley knows how to play her like a violin.

    'Cheryl has only a very small core group of friends and family whom she trusts – her mother, her brother, the girls from Girls Aloud and her PA, who is one of her best friends – and that could make anyone feel lonely and insular at times.'
    Joan is also understood to be furious with Derek Hough for seemingly abandoning Cheryl at her most vulnerable.
    Hough was a constant presence at Cheryl's side throughout her divorce and battle with malaria last year, but has disappeared from her life.

    Protective: Joan is also said to be angry at Derek Hough for 'abandoning' her daughter during her lowest point
    Cole, 30, is currently on a 'lads' holiday in Los Angeles, while Mrs Cole – who has kept a low profile for the past month after being sacked from the U.S. version of The X Factor – is at a rented home in North London.
    Last night, a source close to the footballer said he had even made plans to cut short his holiday to try to win back his ex-wife.
    'Cheryl told him she needs him and that she wants him to come back early and he's agreed,' the source said.
    Mrs Cole last saw him two weeks ago before he flew to California.
    Her divorce was made final in October shortly after she had battled malaria. In a recent TV interview with Piers Morgan, she said: 'We had a great relationship.
    There's part of us that will always love him.'

    Beautiful babes in arms: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban carry their pair of gorgeous girls as they jet out of LAX
    By SARAH FITZMAURICE
    ©Happy family: Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban were seen carrying their daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret through LAX yesterday
    Travelling with small children can be a nightmare for most parents.
    But as Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban made their way through L.A.X. with their daughters, both little girls behaved impeccably.
    Country singer Keith carried a snoozing Sunday Rose, who will be three in July, who appeared to be while Nicole was charged with carrying the newest member of their family little Faith Margaret.
    These pictures are the first sightings of five month old Faith with the rest of the family.
    Australian actress, Nicole, 43, was dressed in a pair of olive green trousers a patterned blouse, burgundy jumper and dark jacket.
    Singer-songwriter Keith kept things casual in jeans and a T-shirt and donned a baseball cap for the travel.
    Both little girls were dressed in white and Sunday Rose wore her hair in two side plaits.
    ©What a good girl: Although their newest addition to the family is just five months old Faith was well behaved as the family headed to the plane
    Earlier this month Keith was honoured with a star on Nashville’s Music City Walk of Fame and was joined by his wife to celebrate the unveiling of his plaque.
    The couple welcomed the newest addition to their family Faith Margaret in December who was born by surrogate.
    Speaking about the experience Nicole said: ‘Having given birth and then being there to see my child born in that way, I felt so much love for our surrogate, gestational carrier.’
    ©Red carpet glamour: Nicole looked stunning in black as she and Keith attended the Billboard Music Awards
    The Academy Award-winning actress also explained that she uses the term ‘gestational carrier’ as opposed to ‘surrogate’.
    Speaking to Australia’s 60 minutes Nicole explained: ‘We were trying to be accurate.
    The term gestational carrier is used if it's your biological child and if it isn't, then you use surrogate. I mean, who knows what it is. But she's the most wonderful woman to do this for us.’

    Mila Kunis (Russian: Милена Кунис; Ukrainian: Мілена Куніс) was born in Chernivtsi in the Ukrainian SSR. Her family moved to Los Angeles, California in 1991, when she was seven years old. Kunis is Jewish and has cited antisemitism in the former Soviet Union as one of several reasons for her family's move to the U.S Her mother, Elvira, is a physics teacher and drug store manager, and her father, Mark Kunis, is a mechanical engineer and cab company executive. She has an older brother, Michael
    Kunis has stated that a lottery system allowed her family to make the move: "It took about five years. If you got chosen the first time around, you went to Moscow, where there was another lottery, and you maybe got chosen again. Then you could come to the States." On her second day in Los Angeles, she was enrolled at Rosewood Elementary School not knowing a word of English. "I blocked out second grade," she says. "I don’t remember, but my mom tells me that I came home and cried every day. I wasn’t that traumatized. It was just a shock Kunis added: "I didn't understand the culture. I didn't understand the people. I didn't understand the language. My first sentence of my essay to get into college was like, 'Imagine being blind and deaf at age seven.' And that's kind of what it felt like moving to the States.
    In Los Angeles, she attended Hubert Howe Bancroft Middle School. She was mostly taught by an on-set tutor for her high school years while filming That '70s Show. When not on the set, she attended Fairfax High School, where she graduated in 2001 She briefly attended UCLA and Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles

    ©There are few people who haven't heard of Bethany Hamilton. She was the 13-year-old amateur professional surfer who had her arm bitten off by 4.3 m tiger shark while surfing off the coast of Hawaii. She lost 60 per cent of her blood, but miraculously survived and returned to the world of professional surfing a champion. Her inspirational tale is the subject ofSoul Surfer; a film that follows her personal struggle to overcome her debilitating injury.
    Directed by Sean McNamara (Raise Your Voice, Bratz), this is notJawsmeetsBlue Crush, but rather a Disney-esque version of events. Sure, this is a fairytale, so heart warming sentiments and inspirational monologues are to be expected. But somewhere between lines like “love is bigger than any tidal wave or fear” the film succumbs to family movie cheesiness. Written, produced and directed by McNamara,Soul Surferis elevated by a trio of strong performances from AnnaSophia Robb as Bethany and Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt as her parents. Robb is beyond convincing and beautifully balances Bethany's vulnerability and inner-strength. Quaid and Hunt are fantastic as the supportive and highly likable parents. Their love for each other and their family has a tangible presence and one of the best scenes is when the Hollywood veterans take to the waves for a surfing/bonding session. Plus, Hunt is undoubtedly one of the most naturally beautiful women in the bizz. At 47 she rocks a bikini and in close-ups it’s clear to see she hasn’t had a spot of work done; she’s aging gracefully and looking all the better for it.
    Also good is Jack Nicholson's daughter Lorraine Nicholson as Bethany's best friend Alana Blanchard and formerHerculesstar Kevin Sorbo in a meaty role as her dad Holt Blanchard. The Blanchard’s were close friends of the Hamilton family and responsible for saving Bethany's life that day when they dragged her to shore and used a leg rope as a tourniquet. These days Alana is better known for having thebest assin international surfing.©Based on Bethany's autobiography of the same name, the surfer has always attributed God and her faith for getting her through the traumatic ideal and back on the board. The Christian elements of Bethany's life are certainly not skipped over. In fact, they're perhaps covered too extensively and the powerful Christian themes are likely to ostracise some viewers. American Idol winner Carrie Underwood's performance as a Christian councillor doesn't help. Her big screen debut is so terrible, you would be happy to throw yourself into the mouth of a tiger shark to escape her wooden and preachy portrayal. Her sense of superiority and righteousness would be excruciating enough, but Underwood sports heavy makeup throughout the film which seems especially ridiculous when she's working in the slums of Indonesian in the aftermath of the Boxing Day tsunami. A Christian missionary with more eye shadow than Hedwig from the Angry Inch strips any sort of believability from the situation.
    Despite its shortcomings,Soul Surferisn't a wipe out. It's an inspirational, family-friendly film that might over-do the cheese, but that doesn't mean it can't please.
    Soul Surferis out Thursday, May 26.

  • Jackass Star Ryan Dunn dead at 34

    Jackass Star Ryan Dunn dead at 34
    ©According to MTV news, Ryan Dunn from MTV's "Jackass", was involved in a fatal car crash that took his life on Sunday night (June 19) in Pennsylvania. According to various sources, Dunn had been drinking right before the accident and what started as a fun night ended up turning into a tragedy for all of his family, friends, and fans. Rest In Peace Ryan!
    Here is the OFFICIAL press release:
    "According to TMZ, the accident occurred at 3 a.m. on Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township. While it's unknown who was driving at the time, an unidentified passenger also died in the crash. April Margera, the mother of Dunn's "Jackass" co-star Bam, broke the news to WMMR 93.3's "Preston and Steve" radio show.
    ©In the last photo Dunn posted to Twitter, he and two friends are seen drinking what may be alcoholic beverages. TMZ also reported that the car caught fire in the crash. A tow truck was later sent to the scene to remove the car. A photo obtained by an NBC affiliate in Pennsylvania, showed the wrecked car on the side of the road. As of press time, no further information was known about the accident.
    ©
    Dunn kicked off his career doing crazy stunts and skateboard tricks in a series of online videos, which eventually led to his part in MTV's "Jackass" in 2000. The daredevil was a key member of the crew, appearing in "Jackass" spin-offs like "Viva La Bam" and "Bam's Unholy Union," as Bam's sidekick and often acting as the voice of reason within the zany crew. Dunn's new show "Proving Ground," in which he and co-host Jessica Choban test out action sequences from TV, games and movies, premiered on G4 last Tuesday.
    When MTV News sat down with the "Jackass" crew last year, they named Dunn's first stunt for the show as one of their favorites in 10 years of the TV show and movies. "I loved when [Bam Margera] made Ryan jump into the poo factory, the 'Poo Dive' I think we called it," creator Jeff Tremaine said. " 'Cause that was horrible, but the best part was ... revealing his tattoos that we didn't know about. That was the first time we ever met Ryan."
    He appeared in all three "Jackass" flicks and even took a stab at Hollywood, with a role in non-"Jackass" projects like the Jessica Simpson flick "Blonde Ambition" and on the NBC procedural staple "Law & Oder: SVU."
    This is what those who were close to Ryan Dunn had to say about this sad news:
    "Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. RIP Ryan , I love you buddy." - Johnny Knoxville
    "I feel like I lost a brother, Ryan Dunn was family and we are all deeply devastated." - Jeff Tremaine (Jackass Director)
    "I have not been able to talk with Bam as he is in Arizona, but I cannot believe that his friend is dead. Ryan was a wonderful person he really was the sweetest and nicest guy - he was like my extra son, everybody loved him. He had a long-term girlfriend and she will be absolutely devastated - she has turned off her phone just now… I'm too upset to say anything else just now." - April Margera (Ban Margera's mother)
    "I just lost my best friend, I have been crying hysterical for a full day. Millions of people are crying right now!" - Bam Margera
    See also
    "I'm very Sad and Shocked to hear about Ryan Dunn. My thoughts&Prayers are with his Family." - Benji Madden tweeted (Good Charlotte guitarist)
    "Just heard the news that my friend and die-hard Life Of Agony fan, Ryan Dunn of Jackass died this morning. The world is a less funny place right now. This completely sucks." - Alan Robert (Life Of Agony)
    Please, whenever you drink leave the car at home or give the keys to somebody else!

  • Bono's little girl steps out of her father's shadow at Cannes... but has co-star Sean Penn by her side for support

    Bono's little girl steps out of her father's shadow at Cannes... but has co-star Sean Penn by her side for support
    By JESSICA SATHERLEY
    ©Co-stars: Sean Penn looked after his family friend and co-star Eve Hewson on the red carpet at Cannes, who is the daughter of U2 frontman Bono
    Her famous father is used to the spotlight, but last night it was the U2 frontman’s daughter’s turn to steal the limelight at Cannes.
    Eve Hewson showed that she’s no shrinking violet by strutting down the red carpet in a stunning black and pink Chanel ensemble for the film premiere of This Must Be The Place.
    The 19-year-old stars in the crime thriller alongside her father’s pal Sean Penn and Talking Heads singer David Byrne.
    ©Cool and composed: The 19-year-old actress appeared relaxed in front of the press and photographers at the premiere of This Must Be The Place, by director Paolo Sorrentino
    And Penn made sure to act as a protective father figure for Eve on the red carpet by staying close by her side throughout the night, as her parents didn't attend the event.
    Eve certainly picked up some tips from Bono on how to turn heads, and looked lovely in the light pink skirt, black bodice and sheer overlay alongside Miu Miu heels, while Penn wore a Giorgio Armani tux.
    Earlier in the day she had attended a photo call for her new film too, and opted for a Miu Miu dress with a neon green cut-out leather yoke.
    Being in the company of stars including Gwen Stefani, Rosario Dawson and Faye Dunaway didn’t seem to faze the young actress at all and appeared calm and relaxed.
    ©Cute in Chanel: Eve turned heads in a light pink skirt, black bodice and sheer overlay by Chanel, alongside Miu Miu black heels
    This Must Be The Place is not Eve’s first appearance on screen though and had her first debut in 2002 on her father’s video documentary ‘U2 Go Home: Live from Slane Castle’.
    She also appeared on Irish chat show The Late Late Show in 2003 and in 2008 had a role in the drama The 27 Club - which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
    Eve also had a starring role last year in a short film titled For The First Time, but her latest project is by sure her largest.
    This Must Be The Place sees Penn play a wealthy former rock star in Dublin, who is now bored and embarks on a quest to find his father’s persecutor – an ex-Nazi war criminal now hiding out in the U.S.
    ©Cast members: Director Paolo Sorrentino stands to the right of Eve Hewson (centre) and Sean Penn stands to the left of her at the screening of This Must Be The Place at Cannes
    ©Rising actress: Eve had her first film debut in 2002 on her father's video documentary 'U2 Go Home: Live from Slane Castle', and has starred in a short film as well as a full length drama
    Learning his father is close to death, he travels to New York in the hope of being reconciled with him during his final hours, only to arrive too late.
    Having been estranged for over 30 years, it is only now in death that he learns the true extent of his father’s humiliation in Auschwitz at the hands of former SS Officer Aloise Muller – an event he is determined to avenge.
    While Eve plays his 16-year-old friend covered in tattoos, who rides around on a skateboard – which she admitted was hard to master.
    ©Serene: Being in the company of stars including Gwen Stefani, didn't seem to faze the young actress and she lapped up the limelight
    ©Star attractions: Rosario Dawson looked stunning and sexy in a strapless ruffled red gown,

    while German model Claudia Schiffer wore a sheer lace Dolce & Gabbana dress
    Sean Penn no doubt picked up some tips from Bono on how to play a rock star, but the U2 star did not attend yesterday’s event.
    But Bono is no stranger to Cannes and in 2007, he played alongside the rest of U2 at the top of the Palais steps to launch the screening of concert film U2 3D.

    ©Fashionista: Eve Hewson opted for a Miu Miu dress with a neon green cutout leather yoke for the photo call, while Penn decided to wear his denims
    Eve is Bono and his wife Ali Hewson’s second-eldest daughter and grew up in Dublin with her three siblings, Jordan, 22, Elijah, 11, and John, 10, away from public exposure.
    Her youngest brother John turns 10 today, which he will no doubt be celebrating with his famous family at home in Ireland.
    ©Proud parents: Bono and Eve's mother Ali Hewson (seen here in Dublin last month) didn't attend Cannes this year and are thought to be back in Ireland to celebrate their 10-year-old son's birthday today

  • Near East: Turkish villager issued permit to display Graeco-Roman artefacts in her garden

    Near East: Turkish villager issued permit to display Graeco-Roman artefacts in her garden
    With her şalvar, a type of harem pants popular among villagers, and a red yemeni scarf, Hatun Dilci, 72, does not stand out among fellow residents of her village in the southern Turkish city of Adana. What distinguishes her from other women of Dilekkaya village on the outskirts of an ancient citadel, is that the garden of her humble abode is full of Graeco-Roman artifacts ranging from sarcophagi to statues. This is a privilege granted to the elderly woman and her family as two generations of custodians of Anavarza ancient city.

    Turkish villager issued permit to display Graeco-Roman artefacts in her garden
    A mother of eight, Dilci is a born-and-bred resident of Dilekkaya, where the ruins of Anavarza or Anazarbus, a city founded by Assyrians that thrived under the Roman empire, are located. Remains of the city's glory days are scarce, with just a small portion of the city walls still standing.

    Turkish villager issued permit to display Graeco-Roman artefacts in her gardenDilci and her husband have always been keen to preserve the history in their environs, and this led to the discovery of Anavarza's ancient history, for which the couple was duly awarded. They were building a new house in the village in the 1960s when they stumbled upon a mosaic piece at the construction site.

    Turkish villager issued permit to display Graeco-Roman artefacts in her garden
    "We notified authorities and they came. The mosaic we found was a 'fish mosaic' - a Roman-era artifact - and they awarded us TL 500. They asked us to build our house in another, place nearby. We started digging in that place to lay the groundwork but again, we discovered another mosaic," Hatun Dilci says.

    Turkish villager issued permit to display Graeco-Roman artefacts in her garden
    Spending everything they had on the construction, the family was broke and without a telephone in the village, they had to travel to the city to inform authorities. They decided to do it, and sold two chickens they had to cover travel fees and went to Adana.

    "We met the governor and traveled back to the village with him and with officials from a museum in Adana. They examined the mosaic and told us that we had found the Princess Mosaic," she says, referring to a mosaic believed to depict the daughter of a king.

    This time, authorities offered them more money or an assignment of the family as guards of the ancient city. "We chose guarding the site. They gave my husband a uniform and a gun and a monthly salary," she adds.

    Hatun Dilci accompanied her husband in guarding the site and personally guarded the site long after her husband's death 22 years ago. Now, one of her sons looks after the site while Dilci preserves the artifacts in the garden of her house.

    They started moving the sarcophagi, statues and numerous artifacts to their garden in a bid to protect them from treasure hunters frequenting the area. Under a special deal, the authorities allowed them to keep the artifacts as a small museum, as the area does not have enough space.

    "I gave my life to this ancient city. I have been threatened by smugglers and treasure hunters. They tried to burn down my house and poisoned my livestock. I confronted the villagers damaging the ruins. I did this out of my sacred duty toward the state. I am retired now, but I still volunteer. I am still awake at night guarding against theft," she says.

    ©President Barack Obama called Nixon and offered his condolences to those affected, assuring the governor that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) would provide whatever assistance was needed.
    'Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to the families of all those who lost their lives in the tornadoes and severe weather that struck Joplin, Missouri, as well as communities across the Midwest today,' the President said in a statement sent from Air Force One as he flew to Europe.

    'We commend the heroic efforts by those who have responded and who are working to help their friends and neighbours at this very difficult time.'
    Caring for the injured was made more difficult because the main hospital, Saint John's Regional Medical Center, had to be evacuated after suffering a direct hit - the tornado ripped off its roof and smashed all its windows.
    Cries could still be heard early Monday from survivors trapped in the wreckage.

    Mr Nixon said he feared the death toll would rise but also expected survivors to be found in the rubble.
    ‘I don't think we're done counting,’ he said. ‘I still believe that because of the size of the debris and the number of people involved that there are lives to be saved.’
    Crews found bodies during the night in vehicles the storm had flipped over, torn apart and left looking like crushed cans.
    Triage centers and shelters set up around the city quickly filled to capacity.

    At another makeshift unit at a Lowe's home improvement store, wooden planks served as beds.
    Outside, ambulances and fire trucks waited for calls. During one stretch after midnight on Monday, emergency vehicles were scrambling nearly every two minutes.
    On Monday morning, survivors picked through the rubble of what were once their homes, salvaging clothes, furniture, family photos and financial records, the air pungent with the smell of gas and smoking embers.
    Others wandered through the wreckage with nowhere to go, their homes or apartments destroyed.

    They quickly realised they would never find the belongings they stored there, and that they had lost much of what was in their home after the tornado ripped away the roof.
    Their sons, aged 20 and 17, went outside after the storm and saw that every home was destroyed.
    ‘My sons had deceased children in their arms when they came back,’ Mrs Fritz said. ‘My husband and I went out and saw two or three dead bodies on the ground.’

    Mrs Fritz said she was surprised she survived. ‘You could just feel the air pull up and it was so painful. I didn't think we were going to make it, it happened so fast.’
    Tornado sirens gave residents about a 20-minute warning before the tornado touched down on the city's west side.
    Staff at St John's Regional Medical Center rushed patients into hallways before the storm struck the nine-storey building, blowing out hundreds of windows and leaving the facility unusable.
    The hospital was among the worst-hit locations.

    The Joplin twister was one of 68 reported tornadoes across seven Midwest states over the weekend, stretched from Oklahoma to Wisconsin, according to the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center.
    One person was killed in Minneapolis. But the devastation in Missouri was the worst, eerily reminiscent of the tornadoes that killed more than 300 people across the South last month.
    Residents said the damage was breathtaking in scope.
    ‘You see pictures of World War II, the devastation and all that with the bombing. That's really what it looked like,’ said Kerry Sachetta, the principal of a flattened Joplin High School.
    ‘I couldn't even make out the side of the building. It was total devastation in my view. I just couldn't believe what I saw.’
    Emergency management officials rushed heavy equipment to Joplin to help lift debris and clear the way for search and recovery operations.
    Governor Nixon declared a state of emergency, and President Barack Obama said the Federal Emergency Management Agency was working with state and local agencies.

    Jeff Lehr, a reporter for the Joplin Globe, said he was upstairs in his home when the storm hit but was able to make his way to a basement closet.
    The storm tore the roof off his house, but he was safe. When he emerged, he found people wandering through the streets, covered in mud.
    ‘I'm talking to them, asking if they knew where their family is,’ Mr Lehr said. ‘Some of them didn't know and weren't sure where they were. All the street markers were gone.’
    Justin Gibson, 30, huddled with three relatives outside the tangled debris of a Home Depot. He pointed to a black pickup that had been tossed into the store's ruins and said it belonged to his roommate's brother, who was last seen in the store with his two young daughters.
    Mr Gibson, who has three children of his own, said his home was levelled and ‘everything in that neighbourhood is gone. The high school, the churches, the grocery store. I can't get hold of my ex-wife to see how my kids are.
    ‘I don't know the extent of this yet,’ he said, ‘but I know I'll have friends and family dead.’
    In Minneapolis, where a tornado killed one person and injured 29, authorities imposed an overnight curfew in a 4-square-mile area, including some of the city's poorest neighbourhoods, to prevent looting and keep streets clear for emergency crews.

    Mayor RT Rybak said one liquor store was looted right after the tornado hit late Sunday and a few burglaries took place overnight.
    He said it wasn't immediately clear how many homes were affected, simply saying: 'It's a lot.'
    Though the damage covered several blocks, it appeared few houses were totally demolished. Much of the damage was to roofs, front porches that had been sheared away and fences.
    The tornado left part of a garage door in a tree and many large trees were left leaning against houses.
    Pat Trafton said her family escaped unharmed after a tree was left leaning against her house.
    Mrs Trafton, 67, said: 'It's been a crazy day.
    'They say it was a monster tornado. It all just happened so fast.'
    It was the first tornado to hit the city since August 2009. 'There was no doubt right away,' the meteorologist said.

    In the north-east Kansas, powerful storms spawned funnel clouds and hail that ripped limbs off of trees and shattered windows.
    About 200 homes were damaged in and around Reading with the tornado sweeping through the small town around 9:15pm Saturday night, said Kansas Division of Emergency Management spokeswoman Sharon Watson.
    A man was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to Newman Regional Hospital in Emporia, about 20 miles from where the tornado hit, hospital supervisor Deb Gould said.
    Ms Gould said two other people were brought in with injuries but she had no further details.
    Five people were injured in all, along with the person killed, said Ms Watson.
    Reading, a town of about 250 people is 50 miles south of the Kansas capital city, Topeka.

    Reverend Lyle Williams, who is a pastor for about 10 worshippers at the Reading First Baptist Church, said the church suffered extensive damage: 'Yeah, it's pretty bad,' he said. 'My daughter was out there and told me about it.'
    'I'm not going to be able to have church today that's for sure,' he added, saying he's been a pastor at the church for 21 years.
    In Jefferson County, a mobile home was destroyed with an elderly couple was trapped inside, Ms Watson told CNN. She said responders cleared the debris and rescued the couple unhurt.

    Power had been restored in the town by early Sunday and a shelter was being set up at a local school.
    The National Weather Service confirmed that a tornado also touched down in Topeka and northeast of the city near Lake Perry, where damage was reported at a nearby campsite, Ms Watson said.
    While many states have been struck by severe storms this spring, Kansas has been having one of its lightest tornado seasons in decades, according to the National Weather Service.

    Born in Los Angeles, California, Jolie is the daughter of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. She is the sister of actor James Haven, niece of singer-songwriter Chip Taylor, and goddaughter of actors Jacqueline Bisset and Maximilian Schell. On her father's side, Jolie is of German and Slovak descent and on her mother's side, she is of French Canadian and Dutch ancestry She is also said to be part Iroquois through her mother although Voight has claimed that Bertrand was "not seriously Iroquois", and that they merely said it to enhance her exotic background
    After her parents' separation in 1976, Jolie and her brother were raised by their mother, who abandoned her acting ambitions and moved with them to Palisades, New York As a child, Jolie regularly saw movies with her mother and later explained that this had inspired her interest in acting; she had not been influenced by her father When she was eleven years old, the family moved back to Los Angeles. Jolie then decided she wanted to act and enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she trained for two years and appeared in several stage productions.
    At the age of 14, she dropped out of her acting classes and aspired to become a funeral director During this period, she wore black clothing, experimented with knife play, and went out moshing with her live-in boyfriendTwo years later, after the relationship had ended, she rented an apartment above a garage a few blocks from her mother's home She returned to theatre studies and graduated from high school a year early, though in recent times she has referred to this period with the observation, "I am still at heart—and always will bejust a punk kid with tattoos
    She later recalled her time as a student at Beverly Hills High School as one of feeling isolated among the children of some of the area's affluent families; Jolie's mother survived on a more modest income, and Jolie often wore second-hand clothes. She was teased by other students, who targeted her for her distinctive features, for being extremely thin, and for wearing glasses and braces Her self-esteem was further diminished when her initial attempts at modeling proved unsuccessful. She started to cut herself; later commenting, "I collected knives and always had certain things around. For some reason, the ritual of having cut myself and feeling the pain, maybe feeling alive, feeling some kind of release, it was somehow therapeutic to me
    Jolie was estranged from her father for many years. The two tried to reconcile and he appeared with her in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) In July 2002, Jolie filed a request to legally change her name to "Angelina Jolie", dropping Voight as her surname; the name change was made official on September 12, 2002 In August of the same year, Voight claimed that his daughter had "serious mental problems" on Access Hollywood. Jolie later indicated that she no longer wished to pursue a relationship with her father, saying, "My father and I don't speak. I don't hold any anger toward him. I don't believe that somebody's family becomes their blood. Because my son's adopted, and families are earned." She stated that she did not want to publicize her reasons for her estrangement from her father, but because she had adopted her son Maddox, she did not think it was healthy for her to associate with Voight In February 2010, Jolie publicly reunited with her father when he visited her on the set of The Tourist in Venice

    Raw grief of Jackass star's best friend: Heartbreaking video shows inconsolable Bam Margera as he visits spot where Ryan Dunn died in fiery crash
    By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
    ©Heartbroken: Bam Margera returns to the spot where his best friend and Jackass co-star lost his life in a horrific car smash in the early hours of Monday morning in Philadelphia
    Autopsy results reveal the crash was so violent it's impossible to determine if Dunn and passenger died from impact or from the fire that resulted
    Photo emerges showing stuntman in high spirits whilst he partied at a bar shortly before crash
    Co-star and best friend Bam Margera overcome with emotion as he visits crash scene
    Ryan Dunn's Jackass co-star Bam Margera broke down into floods of tears as he visited the spot where his best friend lost his life in a horror 130mph car smash.
    An inconsolable Bam spoke to a local news station and was so distraught he could barely put his loss into words.
    'It was the worst phone call I ever got in my life waking up to that,' the 31-year-old wept.
    ©Raw grief: Bam could barely hold it together as he gave an interview to a local news station
    Margera, who was in Arizona at the time of the crash, visited the crash scene in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening.
    He was visibly overcome with emotion, rocking back and forth in agony at the guardrail that the car crashed through.
    'I've never lost anybody that I cared about. It's my best friend,' he told local TV station WPXI, weeping.
    ©'Worst phone call of my life': He paid tribute to his childhood friend and asked how he would cope with the loss he wept: 'I can't, I can't'
    'He was the happiest person ever, the smartest guy. He had so much talent, and he had so many things going for him. This is not right, not right.'
    Margera stood at the guardrail that Dunn pierced with his Porsche Monday morning with such force that the car slammed through about 40 feet of trees before exploding into flames.
    When asked how he'd get through this ordeal, Bam replied: 'I can't. I can't.'
    Dunn's brother, Eric Dunn, said in an emailed statement to the AP that his family was 'devastated'.

    Investigation: Dunn's Porsche was found engulfed in flames in woods beside the road
    Margera, who appeared in her son's MTV show 'Viva La Bam' with Dunn, says he was not the type of person to get behind the wheel while drunk.
    'He is going to be missed by everyone,' April tearfully told the NBC Today Show.
    'I have yelled at him for lots of things but he was not a big drinker and he was always responsible as far as I know, so I cannot believe he would do that.
    'I am sick because it is a waste, sick because I loved him, sick because he was talented and sick because he is gone.'
    Meanwhile the passenger killed in Dunn's fatal car crash has been identified.
    Police have confirmed Zachary Hartwell, 30, perished in a fireball car crash in the early hours of yesterday morning.
    Hartwell, from West Chester, Philadelphia, had been with Dunn at Barnaby's and appeared in one of the last photographs to be taken of the daredevil before the accident.
    The two were drinking with a third unidentified male in a Twitter picture, which was posted hours before the accident.
    ©Speaking out: Bam Margera's mother April says she does not believe Dunn was driving drunk at the time of his death
    While Hartwell was not a member of the Jackass crew, he is listed as a production assistant on the second Jackass movie.
    He is also credited on IMDb as a 'car stunt driver' in Bam Margera's film Minghags.
    He was reportedly a recently married Iraq war veteran
    Dunn who was famous for his vulgar stunts in the multimillion-dollar TV and movie franchise Jackass, was driving his 2007 Porsche on a highway when it left the road, flipped over a guardrail and crashed into woods before bursting into flames.
    Speed may have been a factor in the crash, West Goshen Township police said.
    The force of impact shattered the vehicle into several twisted and blackened pieces, leaving the Porsche 911 GT3 unrecognisable except for a door that was thrown from the crash and not incinerated. A 100-foot-long tyre skid marked where the car left the road.
    Police said they were able to identify Dunn through his tattoos and hair.
    Dunn appeared on MTV shows Jackass and Viva La Bam and the three Jackass big-screen adaptations. He also was the star of his own MTV show, Homewrecker, and hosted Proving Ground on the G4 cable network.
    G4 spokesman Dave Welch said Proving Ground, which premiered on June 11 with the second episode due to air today, was being shelved until the network could discuss its future.
    Dunn's long-time friend and fellow Jackass daredevil Johnny Knoxville tweeted last night: 'Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. RIP Ryan, I love you buddy.'
    ©Passenger: Zachery Hartwell (right) was killed in Dunn's fatal car crash yesterday. The pair were at a bar with an unidentified friend in Philadelphia before the accident
    Dunn also starred in the yet-to-be-released film Living Will. The film's website describes Dunn's character as a 'party bum slacker (who) returns from the dead as a mischievous and perverted ghost'.
    MTV praised Dunn's tireless humour and enthusiasm and said he would be missed.
    'We are devastated by the tragic loss of Ryan Dunn - a beloved member of the MTV family for more than a decade,' said Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music/Films Group. 'The Jackass brotherhood will never be the same.'
    Dunn was born in Ohio and moved at 15 to Pennsylvania, where he met Bam Margera on his first day of high school, according to a biography on his website.
    Dunn, Margera, Christopher Raab (known as Raab Himself) and Brandon DiCamillo, under the moniker CKY for 'Camp Kill Yourself', started making videos that featured them skateboarding and performing stunts.
    ©Where the night started: Dunn and Hartwell were both at Barnaby's in West Chester hours before the accident
    Dunn was working as a welder and petrol station worker when Knoxville, a friend of Margera's through the skateboarding circuit, asked the crew to allow their videos to be part of the series Jackass, which became a hit on MTV and ran from 2000 to 2002.
    Perhaps his most famous stunt, in 2002's Jackass: The Movie, involved inserting a toy car into his bottom and going to a hospital casualty unit, where he made up a story that he was in mysterious pain after passing out at a fraternity party. Dunn's X-ray from the hospital became a popular T-shirt for Jackass fans.
    In a 2000 stunt, he dived into a tank at a raw sewage plant wearing flippers, a mask and a snorkel.

    Milla was born in Kiev, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union, the daughter of Bogdan Bogdanović Jovović (Богдан Богдановић Јововић), a Serbian pediatrician, and Galina Mikhaylovna Loginova (Галина Михайловна Логинова), a Russian stage actress.
    Milla's paternal family's estate was in Zlopek near Peć in the northwestern part of Metohija Valley, Serbia. Her paternal great-grandfather, Bogić Camić Jovović, was a flag-bearer of the Vasojevići clan and an officer in the guard of King Nicholas I of Montenegro; his wife's name was Milica, after whom Milla was named. Her paternal grandfather, Bogdan Jovović, was a commander in the Pristina military area, and later investigated finances in the military areas of Skopje and Sarajevo, where he uncovered massive gold embezzlement. He was punished for refusing to convict a friend of the crime. Later, the government briefly imprisoned him in Goli otok for refusing to testify. When he feared that he could be arrested again, he escaped to Albania and later moved to Kiev. A different version of the story claims that he was the one who took the gold.

    Motorola's Droid Phone

    iPhone with brilliants

    It's really kind of ironic that what I want for my birthday in April is a new phone. I say this because my family gets p'd off because they can never reach me. I either forget to take my phone, or if it's with me it's not turned on. I have taken so much grief over the past couple of years over this.

    Now they're saying, "Well, if we get her a phone she wants, maybe she'll turn it on!" I was really hoping that Apple would get the service stuff with Verizon worked out so I could get an iPhone. We're a Mac family and I think Apple products are great. But it looks like it'll be 2011 before this takes place.

    So I'm looking at the Motorola Droid phone

    I'm due for a new phone through my Verizon service plan. Instead of the phone costing $599, it will cost $199... and they're running a BOGO. Of course, Verizon makes their money on the extra costs per month for using this type of phone, but still...

    Does anybody have any insights they'd like to share... I told my son last night that what I wanted the phone to have is a calendar and an address book. He started cracking up and said, "Mom, they all have that!"

    Racy Katie: Katie Holmes left a Miami restaurant today in a white crochet top which exposed her black bra
    She is known to keep her wardrobe on the conservative side with her array of sophisticated dresses and covered-up comfortable casualwear.
    But in a daring turn, Katie Holmes stepped out today in a white crochet top, which exposed her black bra.
    The 32-year-old sported the uncharacteristic risqué look as she left a restaurant in Miami.
    The actress had clearly gone for a relaxed look, paring the vest with some white floaty trousers and embellished sandals.
    Toting a cup of coffee, she topped off the look with a fedora hat, black wayfarers and a make-up free complexion.
    Katie has been getting into Miami style with her array of beachwear.
    On the weekend, Katie showed off her slimmed-down physique in a bikini as she played with five-year-old daughter Suri on Miami beach.
    Mother and daughter are together at the seaside town in Florida where Tom Cruise, 48, is filming Rock of Ages.

    Katie wore a red bikini and pink denim shorts while Suri was fully clothed in a multi-coloured dress.
    The family were also spotted celebrating Father's Day in Miami on Sunday where Katie and Suri were pictured strolling with Cruise and then boarding a boat.
    The close-knit trio were seen around the marina together in casual weekend wear.
    Katie carried Suri in her arms, as always, to the luxury yacht which they hopped on for their afternoon cruise.

    After they boarded the yacht, named Marquis, Katie and Suri sat on the deck while Cruise kept cool inside as they sailed out to sea.
    The couple have been the butt of break-up rumours pretty much from as soon as they got together six years ago.
    But the loved-up twosome showed that their relationship is stronger than ever and were very touchy-feely at an event in Miami Beach later in the weekend.

    Katie lovingly grabbed her husband of nearly five years from behind and Cruise reciprocated, resting his hand over hers in a sweet gesture.
    The couple turned up the Miami heat during a night out with the cast members from Rock of Ages including Julianne Hough and Malin Akerman.
    They cosied up at Larios Cuban style bongo club and seemed to enjoy their date night in the Sunshine State.
    ©Beach babes: Katie keeps close to her daughter Suri as they play in the water
    Cruise is undergoing an amazing transformation to play long-haired, tattooed rocker Jaxx in the film, which is due for release next year.
    Also starring Russell Brand, it tells the story of a girl who arrives in Hollywood at the height of the 1980s rock scene.
    It's a very different role for Cruise, and Katie has given her backing to the career departure for her husband by revealing that he likes to perform at their home.
    'Tom is such an amazing performer. Yes, we have music in our house and it’s amazing,' she told Access Hollywood.

  • First finished quilt and other stuff.

    First finished quilt and other stuff.
    Sewing
    I finished, I finished! It just came out of the dryer and I LOVE it!
    My very first all the way finished quilt!
    Sorry, I had to take a picture of it in the shade, it was way too sunny on the wall I like to take pictures on.

    Sewing
    The back is even cute! Now what quilt shall I finish next?
    Maybe my Mod Sampler. I just have to put the outside sashing pieces on it and piece the back for it.

    Sewing
    We weeded, tilled, and planted our garden on Saturday! We timed it perfect, as soon as we got done, it started sprinkling a bit. It might seem really late, but this is Utah people :) I think our last frost date is something like May 15th. I love having a garden even though I still don't really know what I am doing. We planted tomatoes for tomato basil sauce, little tiny orange tomatoes, which are my fave, three different kinds of peppers, beans, cucumbers, basil, thyme, and some marigolds. At the back, we have a row of raspberry bushes that we planted last year that are doing really well, we had a couple die last year after we transplanted them from my parent's, but we had quite a few shoots this year that we moved, hopefully they will work, we should have moved them a couple of months ago. We also have oregano and chives.

    Sewing
    And we have a friend in the garden too. Yesterday we took the kid's to A Night at the Museum, the kids liked it, it was a good show. All in all we had a nice weekend, which was needed, we had a crappy thing happen last week that effects our family in a big way, but we are okay. This is where I should insert that our little family is amazingly blessed because we are, even when crappy situations get thrown at us. Enough of that, on to the happy quilt!

    Sewing
    Today I cut my strips for Dana's quilt along. I'm so glad I chose these fabrics, I love them.
    Now I must go for I have children in need of being picked up from school soon.
    I hope you had a nice Memorial day weekend!

    i can blog this gift because i know for sure that the family member that i made it for never looks at the blog. It has been sitting on my sewing table as a pile of fabric, waiting for me to turn it into something. It was supposed to be a birthday gift, way back months ago. Fortunately she is very gracious, because i am a huge procrastinator. It is a quilted table runner. I hope she likes it. I get really terrible "analysis paralysis" because i tend not to use a pattern for things like this. I just get a idea and then i get all vaklempt over how to do it...then i put it off for ages because i can not make a decision. After being on vacation, i was having a little sewing withdrawl, so i thought it best to finish a few instead of starting any new.

    TV daredevil and Jackass star Ryan Dunn was killed in a horrific high-speed car crash last night.

    Police said they found the burning wreckage of his 2007 Porsche 911 GT3, which was capable of reaching 190mph, in the woods off the road fully engulfed in flames.
    His body was so badly burnt that he had to be identified by his tattoos, NBC Philadelphia reported.
    Just hours before the accident, Dunn tweeted a picture of himself with two male friends, all of whom were holding alcoholic drinks.
    Sources told TMZ that Dunn drank at least three light beers and three shots between 10.30pm and 2.10am at Barnaby's of America bar before the accident.

    Dunn's name began trending on Twitter soon after the news of the crash broke, with fans and celebrities quickly expressing their condolences.
    It was Margera's mother, April, who first confirmed Dunn's death by calling into Jackass members Preston Lacy and Steve-O's radio show on WMMR 93.3.
    She described him as being like a son to her and said he had even called her on Mother's Day.
    A tearful April said: 'We just found out a few hours ago - it is the worst possible news.
    'I have not been able to talk with Bam as he is in Arizona but I cannot believe that his friend is dead – I felt like I lost one of my own sons when I heard that Ryan Dunn had died.
    'Ryan was a wonderful person he really was the sweetest and nicest guy - he was like my extra son, everybody loved him.'
    ©Tributes: Flower were laid by the side of the road in memory of the reality star who died in the crash
    President of MTV Networks Music/Films Group Van Toffler said in a statement: 'We are devastated by the tragic loss of Ryan Dunn – a beloved member of the MTV family for more than a decade.
    'He made us all laugh and had the tireless enthusiastic approach to life of your favourite middle school friend,' the statement continued.
    'Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Ryan’s family and friends. The Jackass brotherhood will never be the same.'
    'He had a longterm girlfriend and she will be absolutely devastated - she has turned off her phone just now.
    'It’s just so sad we cannot believe Ryan has gone - I’m too upset to say anything else just now.'
    April said she is 'worried' about her son, adding that he is 'devastated' by the death of his firmed.
    Dunn was born in Ohio and moved at age 15 to Pennsylvania, where he met Margera on his first day of high school.
