iPhoney: In Germany, Deutsche Telekom sent customers a text message voucher that guaranteed them an iPhone 5. When customers called the voucher's number they were connected to a sex chat line. Deutsche apologized for sending out the wrong number. Most iPhone retailers won't have orders in stock for two weeks. Some pre-ordered phones are being offered for $1,000 on Craigslist. Walmart is selling the iPhone 5 for $189.97.

 

Say Cheese: Prince William is outraged with the paparazzi for taking topless pictures of Kate Middleton. A palace spokesman says, "The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana. It is all the more upsetting to the Duke and Duchess for being so. Their sadness has turned to anger and disbelief as we learn more about the photographs. We believe a real line has been crossed and we are consulting with French lawyers about what if any legal action will be taken. Their royal highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them ... They are hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner. It's very disappointing; it's very saddening. We have turned the clock back 15 years. We have always maintained the position that the duke and duchess deserve their privacy, not the least when they are on holiday in their own swimming pool."

 

Babies R Us: A Danish nursery offers free childcare on Thursday nights so parents can make love. Daycare owner Dorte Nyman says, ''If any of them ask what the party is for, we'll tell them it's to give the parents a chance to speak at home. Lots say: 'We'll bring our children to the party but you won't be getting any more children out of us!'"

 

Classic Car: 102 year-old Margaret Dunning, of Plymouth, Michigan, still drives her 1930 Packard 740 Roadster. She says she also changes the oil. “I love the old cars. “I love the smell of gasoline. It runs in my veins. I have lead in my feet. It disturbs the policemen very badly, but it doesn’t bother me at all.”

 

Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan have filmed their love scene for “Scary Movie 5”. A source tells the NY Post, “Charlie and Lindsay filmed a love scene. The scene they were shooting for the movie was of them in bed together. Lindsay was a great sport. She was poking fun at herself, and she really got into it and seemed to enjoy it. They were ad-libbing. They were joking that they’ve both had a lot of issues over the past couple of years. Lindsay was scared by a sound effect, and actually jumped into Charlie’s arms, but everything went smoothly and surprisingly on schedule.”

 

Ryan Gosling may propose to Eva Mendes. A source tells the National Enquirer, “Ryan is head over heels in love with Eva and he wants to have a life with her, including children. It’s something Eva has baulked at in the past but Ryan has a charming way of helping her see a different kind of future. She’s getting on board with the idea of marriage. He is now confident when he pops the question she will say yes. Ryan wants children, as does Eva, but also believes in marriage and youngsters growing up knowing mommy and daddy are committed to each other.”

 

 Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have reconciled. A source tells the Sun, “They pretty much decided they couldn’t live without each other. Kristen poured her heart out to Robert and told him it was a one-off and a mistake. Rob sees it as Kristen made a really stupid mistake. After a lot of long tearful talks, they’ve worked it out. Rob can see how truly sorry Kristen is and has totally forgiven her. They really do love each other. For now they are focusing on themselves.”

 

Kristen Stewart has hired a bodyguard. A source tells Showbiz Spy, “The first attack came when she was exiting an office building in the San Fernando Valley – two young women came running at her, screaming that she was a ‘cheating villainess’ and ‘lying b****.' Kristen, who was alone, made a beeline for her car, jumped in and slammed the door shut. But these vicious girls grabbed the door handles and began rocking the car back and forth. Kristen burst into tears, hit the accelerator and sped away. But the attack really shook her up! That’s when she hired her bodyguard/driver – who’s got orders to pull right up to the door of wherever she’s exiting so she can hop in fast!”

 

Justin and Selena are building a California home together. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com: ''Justin and Selena are building a massive home together in Tarzana. It's just a dirt lot right now with some pipes, but it has a generous panoramic view of the San Fernando Valley.''

 

Adele's next CD is being inspired by her pregnancy. A source says, “It will be lighter than her last ode to break-up. The pregnancy has had a big impact on her songwriting. She is lying low and focusing on becoming a mom. The baby is healthy and she’s so excited.”

 

Pink no longer parties. She says, ''I'm glad I waited until I was 31 to have a baby because, honestly, how many tables can you dance on? II've pretty much claimed them all and I don't feel like I've missed anything. And right now is the best part of life.''
