Nan Goldin Photo Siezed By Northumbria Police

Nan Goldin, the controversial American photographer, has had a photo seized by police which was on display at a British Gallery in Gateshead.

The photo was owned by Elton John and was titled 'Klara and Edda Belly-Dancing'. It features two young girls. The photo was part of Goldin's 'Thanksgiving' exhibition which is made up of over 140 photos.

A Northumbria police spokesperson confirmed that an image of a child was removed from the exhibition and said it was being looked over by prosecutors 'to assess whether or not an offense had been committed.'

The collection, which has previously been on display at major cities throughout the world, was originally purchased by Elton John in 1999.

The photographs of Nan Goldin are often of a sexual nature and have previously attracted police attention. She was born in 1953 and says that she now divides her time between London, Paris and New York.

Elton Gets Stroppy
Following the Concert For Diana it appears that Elton John got into a bit of a strop because he was delayed in his car for security reasons. He actually asked the policeman concerned that old celebrity favourite, "Do you know who I am?"

The policeman told him the situation and Elton John was f-ing this and f-ing that and told his driver to drive on. The officer told the driver that if he did he would be arrested - good for him! So there was one unhappy Knight!

Charley Uchea To Win Big Brother?
The Star newspaper reckons there is a 'plot' to make Charley Uchea the eventual winner of UK Big Brother - because she makes good television viewing. It is claimed that Charley is getting special attention and that the program will be edited to favour her. It'll still be up to viewers votes, of course.

Prince Edward's Wife Expecting A Baby.
The 42 year old Countess of Wessex, Sophie, is expecting a baby in December. Edward and Sophie are said to be 'over the moon' - not exactly a very Royal expression! They have one daughter, Louise, now aged three. Well done Edward - see all of those rumours were wrong!

Kate Locks Out Pete
It's alleged that Pete Doherty has been a naughty boy with a brunette called Lindy. Kate Moss is none too pleased. So much so that she locked the door on Pete - ahhh! Pete got cross and smashed a painting he'd done for Kate. Just another edition of their tempetuous romance.

Waxy Daniel
Madame Tussauds in London have unveiled their latest creation - Daniel Radcliffe.

Harry Potter fans seemingly have been waiting for this moment for ages. Good timing to tie in with the awaited release of the new Harry Potter book The Deathly Hallows. Should make J.K. Rowling a few more millions.

Loius Walsh and X Factor
Louis Walsh, now back within the X Factor fold, had a dig at the other judges by saying, "I'll be the only person on the panel with my own tits and teeth". The other judges being Simon Cowell (of course), Sharon Osbourne and Danii Minogue. He went on to say, "I'm really excited to be back. I think Sharon, Simon and I have brilliant chemistry."

Billi Bhati evicted
Billi Bhatti, the 25 year old male model, was evicted from the UK Big Brother house last night, his scheming ways to no avail. Will he be missed - hardly!

Michael Jackson Healthy Or Not?
There have been rumours that Michael Jackson is in 'perilous health' and has alleged debts of $25 million. Michael's family, who he hasn't seen for 18 months, are so worried they have asked lawyer Thomas Mesereau to intervene. His publicist insists the rumours are 'untrue, defamatory and malicious.'

Does Kate Love William?
Kate Middleton will be with Prince William at Princess Diana's Memorial Concert tomorrow. Will they or won't they get together again as a couple? Depends if William will make a commitment. The Concert, however, should be a big success. Oh, and Chelsy Davy has flown in to be with Prince Harry at the event.

A Diamond Paris Hilton Quote
The columnist Dominik Diamond made me smile with his comment about Paris Hilton saying that people will now 'see a new Paris.' In answer to this Dominik said, "Oh Good. Because I've seen every single inch of the old one by now.' No doubt referring to her naughty videos etc.

Katie Price has given Birth
Kate Price, 29, previously known as Jordan, has had her baby. She says that her husband, Peter Andre, and her haven't decided on a name for the little one as yet. I suppose they've only had nine months to think of one! Peter said about the birth, "She's stunning. I'm totally excited and dazed."

Sir Elton John's Charity Do
Sir Elton John held a White Tie and Tiara party which raised over £6 million for his Aids charity. Mind you tickets were £3000 each. Elton set up his Elton John Aids Foundation back in 1992 and since then has raised something in the region of £52 million.

Brian Belo - Thick Or What
Is Big Brother inmate, Brian Belo, the thickest ever? Did anyone see him try to answer three banal questions yesterday? One of which was, 'Do girls poo?' Perhaps stupidity is now an essential to become a BB housemate. Even his local radio station, Essex FM, is urging listeners to get him booted out of the house.
