Naomi Campbell is out on bail today after a fight on a plane in London.  According to one other passenger a loud exchange erupted in first class apparently after Naomi was informed one of her pieces of luggage could not be found.

George Clooney's pretty ticked that he didn't get writing credit on his new football film "Leatherheads". He's withdrawn from the Writer's guild union because they didn't back him up.  He claims to have written most of the scenes in the movie and not getting credit for it would presumably prevent payment of residuals to him for his efforts.

Kevin Federline is a big spender in Vegas these days, spending more than 43 grand on dining and shopping from May of last year to January of this year. The bill includes Versace clothes, nightclubs, and 2 meal tips of 1100 and 2000 dollars at restaurants.

Metrolinx Bike program is coming to Hamilton to provide bike racks on HSR buses, secure parking for bikes at strategic spots in the city. It's all designed to help link up public transit and active transportation to boost walking and cycling by 15 percent. Anything that keeps us away from the gasoline pumps has got to be an economically and environmentally good thing.
