My brother and I were the best in our school at track and field, I was the pitcher at softball and I played either center or right wing in my mixed hockey team.”Photo Credit: Kenneth Cappello for FHM Australia

Amanda Knox Signs $4 Million Book Deal

Amanda Knox, the American college student who spent nearly four years in an Italian jail for murder, only to have her conviction overturned, is read to tell her story. And be paid handsomely for it. The international drama that unfolded on TV and in newspapers is now about to be told from the inside, in a subjective and profitable account, by Amanda Knox herself. Knox, who was freed last fall after her conviction in the murder of Meredith Kercher was thrown out, has sold her book to HarperCollins for what is said to be $4 million. “It is a story everyone else seems to have told except for the person at the center of it all,” Jonathan Burnham, the publisher of HarperCollins, told The N.Y. Times . “There has been plenty of rumor and conjecture about her, the role she played in events, and speculation about what happened. This book will tell the full story from her point of view for the very first time, and it will be told in her own words.” Amanda Knox, 24, kept prison diaries, the newspaper reports. In addition, her former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito , who was also cleared in the killing of Meredith Kercher, is said to be preparing to sell his own memoir.

During her interview, the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” cutie explained the drama surrounding her hubby Lamar Odom’s trade from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks. “Lamar was upset that he was a trade in general. Lamar is very emotional. He wears his heart on his sleeve. He was with the Lakers for 7 years. He won two championships with them, the first Laker ever to win sixth man of the year.” “And he said it’s like going to a new school, getting new classmates, a new teacher, it’s just- everything is new. Being 24 hours when we were told we were traded until he was already in Dallas- that happened so fast… right before Christmas time… that’s a huge adjustment.” Photo Credit: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com

British pop star / X Factor judge Cheryl Cole and Dancing With the Stars professional Derek Hough have reconciled their relationship, according to reports. He allegedly dumped her last spring (or got dumped by her, depending on what you read), but apparently neither can resist each other … or Coldplay. They were caught canoodling in the audience at a recent show! The pair, who started dating in early 2010 after the former split with her husband, then split in mid-2011, reportedly began seeing each other again recently. Enter the obligatory romance-rekindling Coldplay concert. A witness said of Cole and Hough: “They were really slushy. He stood with his arms round her waist as they mouthed the words to each other for ‘Fix You’.” Who doesn’t want to drop their pants when that comes on? [Photo: WENN.com]

Bobbi Kristina Brown, Daughter of Whitney Houston, Rushed to Hospital

Bobbi Kristina Brown, the 18-year old daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, has been rushed to the hospital. TMZ broke the news, reporting that a stretcher carried Bobbi out of the Beverly Hills Hilton today, the same hotel where her mother passed away yesterday afternoon. Insiders say authorities responded to a call there for a medical emergency, though no further details are available at this time. Tragically, Bobbi was in the lobby of the hotel when an ambulance arrived yesterday, screaming “What’s wrong with her? What’s wrong with her?” in regard to her mother, according to People . She was later taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center “because she was having a complete breakdown,” says that magazine’s source. This hospital visit, however, appears to have stemmed from a separate incident. New reports indicate that Houston was prone to taking Xanax prior to shows or major public appearance. She may have overdosed on that drug yesterday and fallen asleep in the bathtub , drowning. The photo above, meanwhile, was snapped just a couple days ago, following a night out in Hollywood.
