Justin Timberlake and rapper Lupe Fiasco have been recruited by pop singer Kenna to climb Mount Kilimanjaro this autumn in a bid to raise money for charity.The trio will be joined by a team of adventurers assembled by Ethiopian-born Kenna as they scale the 19,000-foot African peak as part of a fundraising and awareness effort for the worldwide water crisis. The mammoth climb will serve as a personal triumph for Kenna, who almost lost his father to the water shortage.
He tells Elle magazine, "My dad almost died as a child from waterborne diseases in Ethiopia, and he had talked to me about digging a well there, and I thought, 'I have too many friends who would be concerned with the subject of clean water. Maybe I can help out.'"

A "friend" of Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley, is shopping around a video recording of the VP daughter allegedly snorting cocaine at a party in Delaware earlier this month.
The NY Post watched a 90 second preview of the video. The footage, which The Post declined to purchase, shows a young woman with a remarkable resemblance to Ashley riding the white pony with a group of people, and then complaining that the horses ain't big enough.
A lawyer said that the footage was legally obtained, with Ashley waving to the camera at one point.

I hope it's all lies.

In an exclusive statement, Neil Patrick Harris responds to the Associated Press article that suggested he would like Britney Spears banned from the set of his CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. "It seems that yesterday a writer took some quotes of mine and speculated an opinion about their intent. I write to you to set the record straight," the actor says. "Britney did a great job on the show. She really did. In fact, we are all hoping that she returns rather soon to reprise her role as Abby."
Hmm, makes you wonder what he really said, but I'm glad he cleared it up because we all know how I like Brit. I do also very much like NPH I think he is a fantastic actor and his character on HIMYM is hilarious!

This is after a personal reach by Jamie Spears in hope that this could possibly help Britney in her fight for sanity...?

Biel says she won't be getting married anytime soon. In fact, she says, "What's weird is, you're single for 20 or 30 years, and you're married for, like, 70. It doesn't seem like a good ratio, does it?" but ya never know where these things.
I don't think JT would be such a bad guy to scoop up, do you?
The couple have been together since May and JT says that he has found his dream girl. Awwwww. How sweet.
