Simone Farrow, Ed Hardy Bikini Model, Arrested For Heading International Drug Ring

Simone Farrow, an international swimsuit model accused of being the mastermind of a worldwide drug ring run out of a Hollywood apartment, has been arrested.
Farrow got popped in her native Australia after skipping bail last month.
Once the face of the Ed Hardy bikinis, Simone used up to 19 different aliases to ship methamphetamine around the world by FedEx and even the U.S. postal service.

According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and Australian police, the 37-year-old denied the charges and claims that she was in hiding after running for her life.
"The only reason I've done this is because someone was trying to murder me," she told Australia's Sunday Telegraph in response to the drug ring allegations.
"I've been in relationships with numerous underworld figures or whatever you want to call them and I feel that maybe they feel threatened by my situation."
Simone Farrow was first arrested in 2009 after flying to Australia as the DEA was raiding her Sunset Blvd. apartment, allegedly seizing drugs and documents.
After having a friend post her $150,000 bond in February, Farrow skipped bail. Police in Australia finally caught up with her last week at a Queensland hotel.

Ben Flajnik, Courtney Robertson Attempt to Be Normal Couple

Away from reality TV cameras and free to roam amid additional scrutiny from paparazzi cameras, The Bachelor stars Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson are playing the loving couple in the aftermath of their controversial winter on ABC.
Things appear to be going well and relatively uneventfully ... mostly.
Ben, who recently shared his first public pic with Courtney, appears eager to prove the skeptics wrong and show that their relationship is the real deal.

The reality couple put on quite the amorous (and camera ready) display when Ben picked Courtney Robertson up from the San Francisco airport last week.
They acted like lovebirds as they locked lips and cuddled publicly upon being reunited, her Neil Lane diamond ring still firmly on her finger, witnesses say.
However, the pair's PDA will undeniably be met with cynicism by some.
Last week during the After the Final Rose special, Ben Flajnik admitted the negativity surrounding the season caused them to break off their engagement.
While they've since gotten back together, The Bachelor duo was also later seen looking subdued and not exhibiting any affectionate body language.
Are they just going through the motions? Or are they more of a normal pair then we probably think, in spite of everything that played out on television?

Dancing With the Stars Season Premiere Recap: Let's Get Ready to Rumba (or Foxtrot)!

Was this the best Dancing With the Stars Season Premiere night in history?!
The judges seemed to think so, and unlike Chris Harrison on The Bachelor, they don't throw around superlatives like that every single episode of every season.
So you know Monday's Season 14 opener was at least pretty good, and with no one on the block tonight, the contestants were free to let loose, pressure-free!
Not to say we didn't learn who's in it to win it and whose cringe-inducing moves will likely make their stint on DWTS a short one, but all are safe this week!
Let's get right to the biggest story, though: Jaleel White is no Steve Urkel.
Jaleel White and Kym Johnson
His foxtrot with Kym Johnson closed the show, but DWTS saved the best dance for last apparently, as the former Family Matters star posted a 26! In Week One!
Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins was elegant during her own foxtrot with Mark Ballas, also scoring a 26 and tying Urkel Jaleel for first place Monday.
Also coming out of nowhere? Cuban actor William Levy, a telenovela star known as "the Mexican Brad Pitt" apparently. Funny as that is, his skills are no joke!
His cha-cha with Cheryl Burke had Carrie Ann thanking ABC for her job. That about sums it up right there, has Levy swept into a solid third with 24 points.
The 67-year-old Gladys Knight made the AARP crowd proud with a cha-cha that "oozed rhythm," according to Len. That's right, Len. Well done, Gladys!

Justin Bieber: Bloody in Complex


Take a deep breath, young ladies: Justin Bieber is okay. But he sure doesn't look that way in the latest issue of Complex.
The 18-year old singer is featured on dueling covers of the magazine's 10th anniversary issue, which goes on sale April 3, and he's channeling Tyler Duren from Fight Club for each. See for yourself:

Inside the publication, Bieber jokes that he's actually a "40-year old man in disguise," while warning new and old fans that his upcoming album will be a departure from his past material.
"People just need to take a chance and listen," he says of the CD, which is reported to be chock full of hip-hop and rap. "That's going to be the biggest problem, to make them feel like it's cool for them to like my music."
Justin's first single off the album will drop on March 26 and he's giving fans a chance to vote for the cover art for it.

Jersey Shore Season 6: It's On, With Pregnant Snooki!

Thought Snooki's pregnancy would derail Jersey Shore? Think again!
When Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi confirmed she's expecting a baby, many assumed that the MTV reality series, which just wrapped its fifth season (in just over two years' time), was kaput, officially, or at least destined to lose the Snook.
No. Season 6 is a go, with the full cast in tow. Fist-pump/head-slap!

The show will return again to the STD-friendly confines of Seaside Heights, N.J., where the gang will venture into "uncharted territory" this time around.
A press release from MTV, confirming the new season today, reads:
"While things will definitely be a little different this time when they hit the boardwalk, their trademark hilarity and family dysfunction will remain the same."
That's putting it mildly. Say a prayer for the unborn guido/ette.
Incidentally, Snooki's baby, her first with fiance Jionni LaValle, isn't due until the fall, so that leaves time for plenty of pregnant partying this summer.
