Nikki Haley responds to Sanford’s press conference

Nikki Haley

Representative Nikki Haley released the following statement regarding Governor Sanford’s press conference: “While Governor Sanford and I have long shared a political philosophy, today’s revelations go well beyond politics. This is a tragic situation for the Sanford family and for our state. My prayers are with the Sanfords, and in particular with Jenny and the boys, and I will do anything I can to help them through this ordeal.

Nikki Haley

“My work in the General Assembly and in my campaign for governor has always been centered on bringing trust and accountability back to government. One component of that is treating taxpayer dollars responsibly and changing the structure of state government so it is accountable to taxpayers. Governor Sanford has been a champion of those principles, and I admire his efforts in those areas. However, another component is behaving in a manner that allows people to trust in their public officials and feel good about their government. Obviously, the Governor has fallen far short in that regard and that is extremely unfortunate.

Nikki Haley

“I will continue to bring my message of trust and accountability to the people of our state over the weeks and months ahead. More importantly, I hope to be able to help heal the wounds that have been created in South Carolina by today’s news.”

Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes does think she can dance and like Judy Garland, no less. Holmes, who was spotted rehearsing earlier this week at the So You Think You Can Dance soundstage, will show off her fancy footwork on the Fox series in a tribute to Garland's 1950 musical Summer Stock, Us Weekly reports. And not unlike her song-and-dance appearance on Eli Stone last season, Holmes will also sing Garland's "Get Happy" from the film.

For the routine, a witness tells Us that Holmes will don an all-black outfit, including a velvet fedora, patent-leather heels, and nylon stockings. Eight male dancers will kick up their heels alongside the actress in matching suits and ties. The number ends in a flourish with Holmes tossing her fedora in the air for one of the men to catch.

"Holmes is killing it," a source tells Us."She looks incredible. She is just doing an amazing job. Everyone is absolutely floored by how talented she is." A custom set was made for the production, which gives the illusion that Holmes is performing on a rooftop against a sky backdrop, acccording to the witness.

The routine is choreographed by Tyce Diorio and directed by Dance executive producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe, who previously dismissed Holmes' reported drop-by to Us as "just a rumor for now." Holmes' performance was originally scheduled to air July 8 to mark Dance's milestone 100th episode, but it may air this week due to leaks, the source tells Us.

Kelly Clarkson Tired for "Fat Joke"

Hot Kelly Clarkson

Hot Singer Kelly Clarkson has been so ridiculed and picked on in the media that one might have actually expected her to have turned immune to all this much talk about her weight. Not only is this not the case, but she’s actually quite upset about it, especially since her appearance should be no one’s problem but her own. Since she’s happy as she is now, the original American Idol simply can’t understand what the fuss is all about, as she reveals in a recent interview quoted by Us Magazine.

Sexy Kelly Clarkson

This is, as fans must surely remember, not the first time that Kelly openly talks about her weight and how hurtful it is to hear all these nasty things being said about her in the media. She for one is absolutely happy as she is now and, should she ever change anything about her appearance in the sense of taking active steps to shedding weight, she would do so because she wants to focus on her health, and not because she’s succumbing to the pressure.

Singer Kelly Clarkson

Still, hearing all those fat jokes even now has made Kelly sick and tired. “For seven years it’s been happening. It’s like, ‘OK cool, the fat joke’.” Clarkson reveals during an interview with 2Day FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show in Australia, as reported by Us Magazine. And, while she personally has no problem with people picking on her weight, maybe it’s time all the talk stopped since it shouldn’t have begun in the first place.

Beauty Kelly Clarkson

“I love my body. I’m very much OK with it. I don’t think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people.” the singer explains. This is not the first time that Kelly insists her value as a singer and, ultimately, celebrity should be established solely on her work so far and not on her looks. As a matter of fact, several media outlets have also jumped on board with this throughout the years, drawing attention to how the media was bringing down a very talented woman only because she did not look like other pop stars on the scene.

Kelly Clarkson

Just recently, Margarita Bertsos of Glamour magazine voiced her discontent at an entire world asking itself whether Kelly Clarkson was pregnant following an appearance on American Idol. She might as well have had a sandwich, Bertsos was saying at the time; and, even if she was pregnant for real, it was no one’s business but her own, since she took the Idol stage as a singer and not to present the media with a hot topic for discussion.

Heather Graham's Magic touch "BOOGIE NIGHTS"

Hot Heather Graham

Heather Graham has swapped her Boogie Nights for the Boogeyman after becoming a low-key white witch. The star admits to dabbling with witchcraft, and she's so taken by magic potions and spells she had penned a spooky script about her interests.

Sexy Heather Graham

She says, "I have this group of friends and we get together and we call ourselves The Goddesses and we wish for things and then a lot of amazing things have happened to all of us. It's five girls and one guy... He's a witch. "We burn things... We did this thing where we were honouring the elements of earth, wind, air and fire... You do spells.

Beauty Actress Heather Graham

"We did this thing where we were calling on the wind and the air and this whole storm started on my roof... It was amazing... It's empowering. "One of my friends, she didn't have a lot of money and she was like, 'I want a better apartment,' and we were doing these spells for her and then her dad just bought her an apartment."

Heather Graham

And Graham feels U.S. President Barack Obama owes her and her friends a huge debt of gratitude for helping him win last year's (08) election. She adds, "My friends really wanted Obama to be elected so we all did a spell... and then he got elected... It worked out good."

And Graham even credits her witchy ways for landing her a good man.

Hot & Sexy Heather Graham

She explains, "I wanted, like, a serious boyfriend and I requested all these things, like, 'I want him to cook, I want him to turn me onto great music... and then I got that." And she admits her new man, filmmaker Yaniv Raz, is totally "into" her magical powers: "We'll do, like, good sex spells."

After months of rumors, the Grammy and Oscar winner's longtime pal, Felicia Fields, confirmed that Hudson is expecting her first child with fiance David Otunga, throwing the Dreamgirl a celebratory soiree in her native Chicago Saturday.

"It was a baby shower, a quiet gathering of friends and mostly family," Fields, also a singer-actress, told the Chicago Tribune. "They're really trying to keep it kind of quiet." (Fields, on the other hand, has no problem blabbing to a major newspaper...)

The 27-year-old Hudson and Otunga, a former reality star turned aspiring pro wrestler, have yet to officially announce the pending stork delivery. The Chicago Sun-Times claims she's roughly seven months along. "They don't know," Fields said, when asked if the couple received more blue or pink gifts. "More yellow. "It was a nice time that we had."

Hudson wrapped her coheadlining tour with Robin Thicke back in late April. She has since done her best to avoid speaking out on her conspicuously curvier figure since then, telling Matt Lauer on the Today show last month she didn't "want to break any news." She did, however, confirm that she and Otunga have set a date for their vow swap, but declined to reveal it publicly.
