Big Brother's Jennifer Reveals Toilet Fears

Jennifer wants separate toilets for girls and boys in the Big Brother house - to cure her constipation.

The stunning model and mother-of-one confessed to Lisa she hasn't emptied her bowels since she entered the house.

She explained she couldn't sit on the loo long enough through fear of someone walking in on her as the door has no lock.

She said this afternoon: "It's not so bad at night. During the day I'm terrified that someone is going to walk in on me."

Bully Alexandra said the idea of separate toilets was "fair enough" because Mario, Luke and Mikey use their lavatory, despite sleeping in the luxury bedroom.

Exercise addict Lisa suggested her fellow housemate take some laxatives, but Jennifer was unsure.

Jennifer said:  "Won't they just make me go, go, go?"

As an alternative, Lisa advised Jennifer to exercise and said if she ran around the garden she would soon be able to go the toilet.

Lisa added:  "I know Mario does his crunches when he needs to go."

Petty pleases with time-tested Americana songbook

With Tom Petty, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Sure, he’s made some blunders in his career. There have been some lackluster albums and periods of time with no hit singles. But as was the case with his 30th anniversary tour in 2006, when Petty comes to town nowadays, it’s all about showcasing his whole career. And that’s when his weighty contribution to American rock ’n’ roll becomes obvious.
Last night at the TD Banknorth Garden, Petty and his faithful Heartbreakers played a set that touched on the old, new and just about every-



thing in between. Kicking off with a true fire-starter, “You Wreck Me,” Petty and Co. psyched the capacity crowd into high spirits right off the bat, following up with the one-two punch of “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” and “I Won’t Back Down,” which marked the first appearance of his acoustic 12-string.
Looking sheepish in a wine-colored crushed velvet jacket and jeans, a bearded Petty sounded a tad more nasal than usual. But that didn’t stop him from dusting off the underdog anthem “Even the Losers” and “The Waiting,” the former featuring dreadlocked Mike Campbell’s Chuck Berry-inspired riffs on a double-necked guitar.
Elsewhere, he resurrected “End of the Line” from his stint with the Traveling Wilburys (featuring vocal assistance from multi-instrumentalist Scott Thurston) and a rarity, “Sweet William,” which repeatedly exploded from grimy blues into a blistering torrent of flashy licks.
The big question about Petty’s current tour is whether or not he’d share the stage with opener Steve Winwood. In Boston last night, Petty and Winwood decided to give the crowd a taste of the supergroup treatment, delving into the legendary British musician’s songbook for “Can’t Find My Way Home,” originally recorded with Blind Faith, and “Gimme Some Lovin’, ” his 1967 organ-fueled hit single with the Spencer Davis Group.
During Winwood’s hourlong opening set (a generous length for a support act and still too short), the keyboard and guitar virtuoso touched on his famed work with Traffic with “Dear Mr. Fantasy,” Blind Faith’s “Had to Cry Today,” plus a handful of solo tunes, including the restless “Dirty City” and the blues-dipped soul jam “Different Light.” Throughout, his excellent ensemble supported him with congas, sax and flute in addition to the usual rock ’n’ roll staples.
Both Petty, 57, and Winwood, 60, are long-standing musical mainstays from either side of the pond, but Petty’s raunchy country-blues and Winwood’s rhythmic urban soul are even more potent together than they are separately.

Judge Reinstates Second Notorious B.I.G. Wrongful Death Lawsuit

A Los Angeles judge has reportedly reinstated a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by the family of slain rapper Notorious B.I.G against the city of Los Angeles and various LAPD officers which was dismissed last year.
As reported earlier, District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper threw out the lawsuit last year after Biggie's family failed to file the suit within the necessary time frame given by the court.
The lawsuit was originally filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, and then moved to federal court.
According to The Associated Press, Biggie's family appealed Cooper's decision and she reversed her earlier decision yesterday (May 8) after finding federal claims in the case.
Cooper gave Biggie's family 20 days to file a new lawsuit and drop the state claims.
B.I.G., whose real name is Christopher Wallace, was shot and killed on March 9, 1997 after a party at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
Biggie's family has filed two wrongful death lawsuits against the city of Los Angeles and various LAPD officers claiming they were involved in the rapper's murder.
The first lawsuit, filed in 2002, alleged wrongful death and civil rights violations.  It ended in a mistrial in



2005.  The case remains active, with the judge allowing the family to amend the lawsuit because of newly discovered evidence.
Cooper's recent ruling involved the secondary suit, which contends that rogue police officers conspired to kill Biggie and that the Police Department covered up their involvement.
