You just can’t make this stuff up, folks. Just weeks after Madonna was dumped from a horse (not surprisingly, even a horse can’t stand to be around her), the equines continue to revolt, this time leaving singer Leona Lewis in their path of destruction.
A seasoned horseback rider since childhood, Lewis had been given a stallion for her 24th birthday last month. She was riding the horse near her home in Los Angeles last month when he suddenly turned on her, rearing up and whipping his head back, striking her in the face and tossing her to the ground.
“Thankfully she didn’t need any surgery, but she was told to stay at home and rest just in case she passed out with concussion, a source told British scandal rag the Daily Mirror. “She doesn’t blame the horse though—it was just one of those things. She had been due in the studio to record, but she felt shaken up so they had to cancel. It has pushed everything back, but she’s such a grafter she’ll easily make up for lost time.”
“Leona has been riding since she was a child and has never had a fear of horses, so she was really shaken up when the horse turned on her,” a source told reporters for the Saturday Swindle Sheet, in an EXCLUSIVE intreview. “Something startled the horse and it flicked its head back and smacked Leona full in the face. She was knocked flying by the force of it. Everyone rushed over to see if she was okay, she was holding her face in agony. Her lip was split, and she was crying, ‘I keep bleeding, I keep, I keep bleeding.'”

Hip-hop supercouple Nas and Kelis are to divorce just months before the birth of their first child together. Kelis has filed papers via top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, citing “irreconcilable differences”…
So I’ve got money on Friesan Fire to win the Kentucky Derby this weekend, and even more money on Lindsay Lohan being dead by the end of the Mayan calendar, so I may as well go for the trifecta and wager a hefty bet on Nas having been caught fucking around on Kelis. Any doubters are encouraged to look at this and then promptly agree with me.

The Who star Pete Townshend has taken aim at Mike Myers’ Austin Powers creation for “trivializing” what was going on in London during the swinging 1960s.
What took him so long? He must have been too busy for the past twelve years looking at child pornography to lobby a complaint sooner.
