  • Somebody's trying to nobble our hacking inquiry, say police after it's leaked that protection officer was paid for details on Queen and Philip

    Scotland Yard believes there is a deliberate campaign, widely believed to be by News International, to undermine its investigation into corruption at the News of the World after it was leaked today that the paper paid protection officers for personal details about the Queen and other senior royals.
    It emerged on the BBC this afternoon that emails uncovered by News International in 2007 suggested that phone details were obtained from a source within Scotland Yard.
    The revelation led to detectives investigating claims that sums of around £1,000 were being offered to police officers in the royal protection branch.
    One email showed former royal editor Clive Goodman asking then editor Andy Coulson for cash to buy a confidential directory of royal phone numbers, the BBC reported.
    But in a terse statement Scotland Yard said it was 'extremely concerned and disappointed' that allegations of payments to corrupt royal protection officers had been leaked to the press, claiming it was an attempt to 'undermine the investigation'.
    'It is our belief that information that has appeared in the media today is part of a deliberate campaign to undermine the investigation into the alleged payments by corrupt journalists to corrupt police officers and divert attention from elsewhere,' a statement said.
    'At various meetings over the last few weeks information was shared with us by News International and their legal representatives and it was agreed by all parties that this information would be kept confidential so that we could pursue various lines of inquiry, identify those responsible without alerting them and secure best evidence.

    'However we are extremely concerned and disappointed that the continuous release of selected information - that is only known by a small number of people - could have a significant impact on the corruption investigation.'
    Buckingham Palace, News International and Scotland Yard were unable to confirm the fresh allegations.
    One email showed former royal editor Clive Goodman asking then editor Andy Coulson for cash to buy a confidential directory of royal phone numbers, the BBC reported.

    Bangladesh Bus Crash Kills 53 Schoolboys After Soccer Victory

    Bangladesh (Reuters) - A bus carrying scores of Bangladeshi schoolboys celebrating a soccer victory against another school plunged off a hill road on Monday killing at least 53, police said.
    The accident happened at Mirersarai, 240 km (150 miles) southeast of the capital Dhaka, near the port of Chittagong.
    Survivors told reporters at the hospital that the children were in a happy mood, singing and dancing, when the bus crashed 50 feet into a flooded ditch. The weather was cloudy after days of rain.
    Police and witnesses said that as many as 80 children between eight and 12 were on board. Local official Giasuddin Ahmed said 53 bodies had been recovered and 15 injured boys were taken to hospital, including 10 in critical condition.
    A father of one of the victims died of heart attack after seeing his body, police said. Hundreds of parents and relatives thronged the accident site and the hospital, witnesses said.
    Road accidents happen frequently in Bangladesh due to poor roads, poorly serviced vehicles and rarely enforced traffic laws.

    Jaycee Dugard Describes 18 Years Of Captivity In First Interview

    Talking through tears, a California woman held captive for nearly two decades told of the pain and determination as she gave birth to her captor's child in his backyard prison, while she was still just a young teenager.

    "It was very painful," Jaycee Dugard told ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an interview on "Primetime" that aired Sunday night. "She came out and then I saw her. She was beautiful. I felt like I wasn't alone anymore. I had somebody who was mine."

    The 31-year-old woman, usually clear and composed, grew emotional when she talked about seeing the first of two girls fathered by her kidnapper, Phillip Garrido.

    When Sawyer asked how old she was at the time of the birth in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Antioch she said "14" with a small, incredulous laugh and a shake of her head.

    She said she didn't know how she could protect the child, but said "I knew I could never let anything happen to her. I didn't know how I was going to do that, but I did."

    Dugard talked to Sawyer on a couch and on a porch at her California home. The blond hair she had in now-familiar photographs from her childhood is now reddish-brown, and she wore a red sweater and a necklace with a pinecone charm on it, representing the last thing she touched before her 18-year captivity.

    The interview came on the eve of Dugard's memoir about her time in captivity, "A Stolen Life," which will be released Tuesday.

    Dugard told Sawyer there was "a switch" she had to shut off to emotionally survive her rape and imprisonment. Asked by Sawyer how she stayed sane, Dugard said: "I don't know. I can't imagine being beaten to death, and you can't imagine being kidnapped and raped. You just do what you have to do to survive."

    She described walking to the school bus stop on the day of a fifth-grade field trip and being zapped with a stun gun on a South Lake Tahoe street at age 11.

    All The 'Harry Potter' Movies Relived In 'A Look Back'

    "You're a Wizard, Harry," Hagrid told the young, confused boy. "I'm a what?" he responded, perplexed after a lifetime spent downtrodden at the hands of his aunt and uncle. The boy had never heard of such magic, had never seen giants or dragons, or dreamed of a life at Hogwarts.
    Oh, how far we've come.
    As the final chapter of the Harry Potter saga, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," prepares to touch down in theaters on Friday, fans and marketers have spent as much time on wizarding nostalgia as anticipating the details of the final battle with Voldemort. The seminal adventure for a generation of children -- and adults -- the timeline of Harry, Ron, Hermione and company's adventures mirrors their own path of maturation, with stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson have become more friends than untouchable big-screen icons.
    To celebrate that journey with the audience, Warner Bros. has released a new featurette that chronicles each of the series' first seven films, a decade-long adventure that has become the most successful film franchise in history.
    Watch Radcliffe, Grint and Watson mature from first-time actors from the British suburbs into veritable stars -- and see if you can concoct a spell that can keep you from getting a bit emotional.

    Rebecca Black: 'My Moment,' New Single, Tells Star's Story

    Perhaps it's a self-reflexive joke, a commentary on pop culture and its quick churn celebration -- and subsequent abandonment -- of anything that will buzz. But probably not. No, Rebecca Black's just announced new song and video, "My Moment," which will be released July 18th, sounds like a self-serious slapdash biopic of a 13-year old girl who stumbled upon fame and fortune.

    And why not?

    Black, the singer of the readymade local music studio song and video "Friday," has weathered a hurricane of publicity and mockery since her little production caught fire on YouTube. Her song became the chorus line of the late spring/early summer, and while the fame was nice, she spent much of the time taking on the negative, mob mentality of the internet, from harsh blog posts all the way to death threats.

    Now that she appears to be on the other side of the mockery -- starring in a Katy Perry video will do that for you -- Black is set to release her second single, which will celebrate her most recent lifetime achievements. Which, aside for the hit song, include red carpet appearances and hosting an online award show for MTV. Oh, and graduating middle school.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, she'll at least have a true songwriting team behind her; Brandon "Blue" Hamilton, who produced for Justin Bieber, and Quinton Tolbert, who did the same for Hilary Duff, are behind this song. She'll also release a five song EP in August.

    Something kinda ooooh! Sarah Harding keeps it slinky in a snakeskin bikini poolside with Tom in Ibiza

    She recently started dying her brunette hair back to blonde in a determined effort to have more fun - and Sarah Harding certainly seems to be sticking to her pledge on holiday.
    The Girls Aloud star was seen downing cocktails as she stretched out on a sun lounger in Ibiza while showing off her stunning figure in a skimpy snakeskin print tie-sided bikini.
    In fact, the two piece was so tiny that at one point, she was forced to re-adjust it across her derriere. 
    She later covered up in a pretty batik print bandeau mini-dress.
    And though she might be a renowned party girl - but it appears Sarah Harding has been getting plenty of sunshine alongside the wild nights during her current stay in Ibiza.

    Kimberley Walsh dazzles in the sunshine wearing a canary yellow dress, as she prepares for a Long Hot Summer

    With Nicola Roberts on her quest for solo stardom and the world gripped by Cheryl Cole's X Factor USA departure - it's hard to get noticed.
    But Kimberley Walsh dazzled in the sunshine yesterday, wearing a classy yellow dress teamed with blood red lipstick and dark sunglasses.
    The Girls Aloud singer showed off her tiny waist and shapely legs as she was spotted with a male friend near her North London home.
    Despite stepping out with her handsome companion, the 29-year-old is actually dating Justin Scott, of failed boyband Triple 8.
    The couple, who share her palatial mansion in Barnet, have kept fans guessing over whether they will marry after eight years of dating.
    Last year, the Bradford-born singer revealed Justin was left 'running for the hills' when people suggested they get engaged.
