Pandamonium broke out outside the Pietermaritzburg High Court yesterday. One of the Zuma supporters accused one of her fellow supporters of using an old I Support Jacob Zuma placard from his rape trial. Its an unspoken rule that you never use old placards from old trials, you always use a new placard.

US President George Bush has insisted that a Middle East ceasefire be accompanied by a wider agreement. He added, "There has to be a long-lasting peace, one that is sustainable." Bush also said, I have a special kinship with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, because I also have problems with my borders& those damn Mexicans.

Apparently Mel Gibson made some rude, offensive remarks recently when he was arrested for drunken driving. People are calling him an anti-Semite. This all started before the incident though. Gibson was in pre-production for his latest movie Moses: The First Tour Guide in History, which did attract some criticism.

Madonna took her cross to Cardiff - her first concert outside America. From there, she'll carry the cross on her back to London, in her leotard. Nobody is allowed to help her, and you can smack her gently on the backside, so she suffers a little bit.

And in your finance  tickets for Madonnas London concert are more expensive than her Cardiff concert, because you get to see Madonna carrying her cross onto the stage. In Cardiff, the cross was already on the stage.

Paris Hilton has revealed that she gets lots of letters from prisoners who want to marry her. They even send her rings. US Correctional Services are going to investigate the suspected brutality and inhumane conditions in certain prisons, to find out exactly what drives men to such desperate, thoughtless, illogical circumstances.

Fidel Castros brother Raul has been waiting since 1959 to lead Cuba. Thats 47 years. Always the best man, never the groom. Raul is 75 years old, but being on the side-lines all these years has kept him fit and healthy. Raul added, Until now, everybody thought that Raul was just a Portuguese football player. Now they will learn that Raul is a leader of a small island in Central America. That's until my brother recovers from surgery, or maybe Ill drop dead before him.

Mel Gibson cant stop apologising for his derogatory remarks when he was caught drunk driving. Hes going to make his first documentary to make up for it. You Call This Chicken Soup? will document some of the leading Jewish chicken soup pioneers...  people who made chicken soup what it is today. It wiill look into their kitchens, their lives, their timeshare options... luckily not their 30-year-old sons bedrooms.

And in your finance  petrol broke through the seven-rand a litre barrier last night, sending pimps onto bicycles, and sending shock-waves through communities that like to use their cars.

The Democratic Alliance has come out in support of Springbok coach Jake White. DA leader Tony Leon has said, We in the Democratic Alliance know what its like to not always win. Winning isnt everything, its the way you play the game. The Springboks can be the official opposition to Australia and New Zealand. Leon added, After a while you get used to it, and it kind of like has a nice ring to it.

In breaking news, Beirut looks like its been bombarded for almost 20 days. Its like a war-zone.

Nicole Ritchie (shes Paris Hilton's ex-friend and Lionel Ritchies daughter) is very worried that nude and semi-nude photos of her will appear on the internet. She accidently lost her digital camera which had stored nude, and semi-nude photos of her. Maybe a medical website focusing on anorexia will be interested, otherwise shes got nothing to worry about.

And in your finance  now that Nicole Ritchie has thought about it more intensely, she's offering money to the first website that publishes her nude and semi-niude photos. Is she just trying to compete with Paris Hilton?
