Pippa Middleton might get a royal title of her own!

British tabloid The Sun claims that Duchess Kate’s sexy sister is in a serious relationship with her longtime pal George Percy — an Earl worth $400 million who will one day be the Duke of Northumberland.

Middleton, 28, and Percy, 27, have been friends since their college days at Edinburgh University. Pippa and George have been photographed together numerous times — including a summer 2011 weekend trip with pals in Spain — but the Sun reports that things became romantic during a New Year’s Eve bash thrown by the Middleton family.

Middleton and beau of two years, banker Alex Loudon, called it quits for good last fall.

As the future duke, Percy (who was a royal page to Kate’s grandmother-in-law Queen Elizabeth) will be entitled to 100,000 acres, 100 tenanted farms, a country estate in Surrey and a mansion in London, the Sun reports. Perhaps the most stunning property in the family is Alnwick Castle, which was used in the Harry Potter films as Hogwarts School.

If Middleton were to marry Percy, she would one day enjoy the title of Duchess.

Percy is “completely in love with her,” a source is quoted in the Sun as saying.

Roseanne Barr is officially vying to be president of the United States. And she’s got the paperwork to prove this isn’t a punchline.

The comedienne registered with the Federal Election Commission in late January to run for the Green Party nomination, the Los Angeles Times reports.

“Both the Democratic and Republican parties are bought and paid for by corporate America and cater to the needs of the highest bidder as opposed to the people they claim to represent,” Barr said in a statement on Green Party Watch. She adds that she’s been “a tireless advocate of Occupy Wall Street” since its beginning.

Barr announced her presidential bid (for the second time) on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” in August.

In a presidential nomination poll conducted on Green Party Watch, Barr received 29 percent of the vote, a distant second to Jill Stein, one of three opponents she’ll face at the Green Party’s nomination convention in July.

Does the sitcom queen really expect to be nominated? Not so much. She wrote on Twitter, “I run in support of The Green Party & probably of Jill Stein—hopefully I can be of service by speaking on media about a viable choice 4 voters.” A Vice President Barr also doesn’t seem to be in the cards: “jill has already named a vice. i’m just in it to support the greens and their fine american message.”

Unless, of course, the voters appreciate her straightforward campaign slogan — “vote for me, I’ll fix this [expletive]!” — and demand a President Barr.

Vile web death threats sent to Natasha Giggs have left the CBB star terrified.

Police contacted the star after the stalker, who brands himself ‘Twitter’s first killer’, bombarded her with shocking messages threatening to mutilate and kill the CBB contender because of her affair with brother-in-law Ryan Giggs.

Incredibly the fiend even brags he would never get caught if he killed mother-of-two Natasha in one of the string of abusive messages posted on Twitter.

Police became so concerned with the content of the abuse they contacted the former model urging her to make a formal complaint.

And the stalker, whose account is under the name jersey_justin, ignored the threat continuing to bombard Natasha’s friends and fans with messages, tearing her apart for infidelity.

In messages which police have seen, the stalker states: ‘Just to tell u that yr punishment is coming and it will be severe! Your time is up c***!! You will feel pain! u love all the attention from yr fans; well, enjoy it becoz its almost over!!!’

He goes on: ‘I can’t wait to see the pain and fear in your eyes Natasha Giggs.’

Greater Manchester Police messaged Natasha urging her to contact officers and make a formal complaint saying: ‘Several people have Tweeted us saying you have had threatening Tweets.

‘We recommend u report it on 101 or 999 if emergency.’

Later Natasha responded online saying: ‘WTF is this for real?? Little disturbed at that. There are some seriously mentally deranged smackrats on Twitter.’

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman told MailOnline officers were poised to investigate but Natasha, who is estranged from husband Rhodri, had yet to make a formal complaint.

Bizarrely fans have accused jersey_justin, who says online he is from London, of being Ryan Giggs’ wife Stacey.

Today he denied he was involved in the family or knew Natasha personally saying his vendetta was purely because of her cheating ways.

He also said: ‘Why the hell is it all over the papers? i can’t believe she even turns this into publicity.’

Natasha’s spokesman told The Star: ‘She is absolutely terrified. She has abslutely no idea who this could be. It is so sinister.’

Don Cornelius, creator of iconic dance program Soul Train that helped introduce Americans to black culture on TV, died after shooting himself in the head, officials said on Wednesday. He was 75.

“The death was reported as a suicide, a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head,” said coroner’s assistant chief Ed Winter. Cornelius was pronounced dead at 4: 56 a.m., Winter said.

Police discovered the popular personality’s body at his house after responding to reports of shots fired in the wealthy, hillside area of Los Angeles called Sherman Oaks where he lived. The community is home to many celebrities and entertainment executives.

Cornelius was taken to a nearby hospital where he was officially pronounced dead, LAPD spokesman Kevin Maiberger said. He declined to give details because detectives were still at the scene investigating on Wednesday morning.

Cornelius launched Soul Train in the early 1970s as a local dance show from Chicago. It relocated to Los Angeles the following year and eventually became part of pop culture history by boosting the careers of young artist breaking out, such as the Jackson Five, and older artists like James Brown that were looking to tap into a young, funky audience. As the smooth-talking host with a deep voice, Cornelius gave to hip young kids of the ’70s what American Bandstand creator Dick Clark offered to viewers in the early days of rock ‘n’ roll.

As the popularity of Soul Train grew, the show began to cross over into mainstream America and R&B artists soon broadened their fan base.

Soul Train aired until 2006, making it the longest-running U.S. series in first-run syndication. Cornelius sold the franchise in 2008.

Longtime friend Rev. Al Sharpton expressed shock and grief over the news of the death.

“He brought soul music and dance to the world in a way that it had never been shown and he was a cultural game changer on a global level,” he said. Quincy Jones said that he was “deeply saddened” at the sudden passing of his friend, colleague and business partner.

“Before MTV, there was Soul Train, that will be the great legacy of Don Cornelius,” he said. “His contributions to television, music and our culture as a whole will never be matched.”

‘we wish you Love, peace and soul’

Don Cornelius, creator of the iconic U.S. television music show Soul Train, died on Wednesday after shooting himself in the head at his Los Angeles home. He was 75. Following are some key facts about Cornelius and the show he hosted for more than 20 years.

Cornelius started his career as a police officer before becoming a disc jockey and news reader at a Chicago radio station in the 1960s. He later got into concert promotions featuring local talent.

He launched Soul Train as a live TV dance and music show in Chicago in 1970. It was one of the first TV shows to feature African-Americans prominently and was syndicated nationally from 1971 to 2006. Cornelius hosted the show until 1993. .

Carmen Electra, Nick Cannon, MC Hammer and Laurieann Gibson were among the Soul Train dancers who got their first taste of fame on the show.

Music artists appearing on the show ranged from Marvin Gaye, James Brown and The Jackson 5 to Elton John, David Bowie and Paula Abdul.

Blessed with a smooth deep voice, Cornelius closed the show each week with the phrase, “And you can bet your last money, it’s all gonna be a stone gas, honey! I’m Don Cornelius, and as always in parting, we wish you love, peace and soul!”

The Soul Train Music Awards were created in 1987 and are broadcast annually on the BET TV channel.

If Kristen Bell wasn’t a celebrity, people around the world would think she was the sloth version of a crazy cat lady.

The Los Angeles Times reported the Forgetting Sarah Marshall actress had a complete meltdown when she was told she would be meeting her favorite animal on earth, the slow-moving, long-armed sloth.

For her 31st birthday (July 18), fiancé Dax Shepard said he would give his better half “something no one else will ever get in their lifetime.”

Unfortunately, he also recorded that moment and now it’s one of the funniest birthday videos you’ll ever watch.

According to the New York Daily News, talk show host Ellen DeGeneres obtained a copy of that video, which features a hysterical Bell right before she meets her first sloth.

“I immediately was overcome and I thought, ‘There’s a sloth near … it’s close, it’s gonna happen.’ And I didn’t know how to process that, because my entire life had been waiting for this moment,” she told DeGeneres Tuesday.

Adding that, “If I’m not between a 3 and a 7 on the emotional scale, I’m crying…I start to have a full-fledged panic attack.”

And cry and cry and cry she did. Check out the hilariously adorable video for yourself below.

Choosing such a short dress to wear on stage was always a risk. And veteran balladeer Celine Dion obviously didn’t think twice about the eye level of the audience.

The Canadian singer gave the front row a lot more than advertised when she performed at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival in Trelawny, Jamaica last night.

The 43-year-old mother of three accidentally flashed fans as she strutted across the stage in the dangerously short outfit.

Celine, who has been in Jamaica for a few days, wore a gold and white Balmain dress that showed off her long legs and toned body.

While she looked great in the eye-catching design, she clearly hadn’t thought she on stage exertions through.

She explained afterwards that the height of the stage was the real problem on the night and the length of her outfit was fine.

She said: ‘Because normally when people are level the length is fine. But people were like this (she looks up)… So it was like I didn’t think of the people downstairs and me there.’

Dion looked great in the daring outfit and has been showing her toned and tanned body a lot since being on the island for the festival.

Two nights ago she wore a long black dress with a thigh high split and she has also been performing with local Jamaican artists including singer Diana who performed the duet Treat Her Like A Lady.

Besides getting through her extensive song book the singer also managed to navigate through about five different stage costumes.

Being a busy mother is clearly suiting her, with the singer looking particularly toned as she performed.

She gave birth to twins Eddy and Nelson 14 months ago.

The children’s father is Celine’s husband and manager, Rene Angelil and they have an older son, René-Charles, 10.

Last year, Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network aired a primetime special featuring an intimate look at the musical icon’s private life.

The programme also revealed the artist tending to her twins, helping her eldest son with his homework and spending quality time with her husband.

Dion returned to Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas in March last year with her new show Celine.

The three-year residency promises demanding seventy performances a year and features Dion’s greatest hits and a selection of music from classic Hollywood films.

Sofia Vergara has been named the most desirable woman of 2012, in a poll conducted by men’s online magazine AskMen.com. The ‘Modern Family’ star jumped two spots from last year’s poll. The 39-year-old brunette bombshell beat out Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton, ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ star Rooney Mara and Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr, who held the number 2, 3, and 4 spots, respectively.

“I am so honored to be AskMen’s most desired woman this year,” the New York Daily News quoted the actress as saying.

“A big thank you to all the men who desire me,” she added.

Fashion-forward singer Nicki Minaj took the No.5 spot, followed by Emma Stone, Scarlett Johansson and Kim Kardashian.

Rihanna and South African model Candice Swanepoel round out the list’s top 10.

Eva Longoria has been bestowed with ‘Woman of the Year’ award for her extra-curricular philanthropic work, by Nevada Ballet Theatre.

Longoria is a frequent donor to a number of charitable causes and in 2006 founded Eva’s Heroes, a charity for developmentally disabled children.

“I don’t like to be awarded for my philanthropic work that I actually enjoy and I get more back from it,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

She accepted the award, though and praised the Nevada Ballet Theatre for its outreach work and community projects, crediting her dancing experience as having helped with her confidence.

“Dancing was really at the root of my performance bug,” she added.

Two people accused of trying to blackmail Coleen Rooney, the wife of Manchester United football star Wayne Rooney, have been jailed.

The blackmailers – Lee Platt, 29, and Steven Malcolm, 42 – were found guilty at Manchester crown court of trying to extort £5,000, after recovering a digital camera that contained more than 400 private photos of the couple.

Platt was jailed for two years and Malcolm received 20 months. Platt’s girlfriend, Jennifer Green, 26, received a 12-month community order for assisting in the retention of stolen goods.

The camera had been misplaced by Coleen during a Black Eyed Peas concert at the MEN Arena in Manchester in May 2010.

Platt and Malcolm had threatened to sell the photos, which were of family holidays, the couple’s son Kai, the couple’s house and some relatives, to the media if their demands were not met.

The police were contacted and they sent an undercover officer who pretended to be interested in buying the camera. Malcolm was arrested at the Marriott Hotel in Manchester, with the camera and the photographs.

Platt and his girlfriend, Jennifer Green, 26, were arrested soon after, when their fingerprints were found on the folder containing the photographs.

Khloe Kardashian told the listeners of her new radio show that she wants to have a drag queen look-a-like contest in Dallas.

Khloe got a very warm Texas welcome when she hosted the “The Mix Up” debut on 102.9 and iHeartRadio. According to 33TV, a caller told her she needed to visit the Rose Room at S4 to see the best drag show in Dallas. Khlo seemed to think that this would be a great idea, because she brought up the idea of having a look-a-like contest.

Of course, it’s not surprising that she would want to host such a contest—she’s already done so once before during an episode of Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. During that episode, Khloe Kardashian had a hard time deciding if she wanted to accept an invite to host a drag queen show because she was upset about people saying that she looks like a man. She’s obviously gotten over her insecurity now.

Hosting a drag show in Dallas would be a fun way for Khloe to see a side of Texas that most people don’t ever imagine—the Lone Star State isn’t all cowboy hats, cattle, and barbeque. Khloe needs to make some new friends to hang out with while Lamar Odom is busy with basketball, and who knows? Maybe she’ll find a funny and fabulous radio sidekick to join her on her show every now and then.

Khloe Kardashian also needs to come up with some fun things to do now that Khloe and Lamar is filming, and what could be more entertaining than a drag queen look-a-like contest? Maybe she could even convince Lamar to get all dolled up and strut his stuff on the runway, or perhaps Rob Kardashian could come down to Dallas and enter the contest—he actually could win if he got a good makeup artist/stylist.

It’s nice to know that Dallas has embraced Khlo, and hopefully she decides to return the love by making her idea a reality.
