Jimi Hendrix Murdered By His Manager

The rock legend Jimi Hendrix was murdered by his manager, who stood to collect millions of dollars on the star's life insurance policy, a former roadie has claimed in a new book.

James "Tappy" Wright says that Hendrix's manager, Michael Jeffrey, drunkenly confessed to killing him by stuffing pills into his mouth and washing them down with several bottles of red wine because he feared Hendrix intended to dump him for a new manager, according to a report in the Mail on Sunday.

In his book, Rock Roadie, Mr Wright says Jeffrey told him in 1971 that Hendrix had been "worth more to him dead than alive" as he had taken out a life insurance policy on the musician worth $2m (about £1.2m at the time), with himself as the beneficiary. Two years later, Jeffrey was killed in a plane crash.

Hendrix died in September 1970, aged 27. An ambulance crew found his body in the Samarkand Hotel, west London, in the room of a woman called Monika Dannemann, whom he had known for only a few days.

Hendrix was alone in the room, lying on his back, with the gas fire on and the door open. There was no record of who had called the ambulance. His inquest recorded the cause of his death as barbiturate intoxication and inhalation of vomit, and recorded an open verdict.

Describing the night of Jeffrey's confession, Mr Wright wrote: "I can still hear that conversation, see the man I'd known for so much of my life, his face pale, hand clutching at his glass in sudden rage."

Wright claims Jeffrey told him: "I had to do it, Tappy. You understand, don't you? I had to do it. You know damn well what I'm talking about.

"I was in London the night of Jimi's death and together with some old friends... we went round to Monika's hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth... then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe.

"I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more to me dead than alive. That son of a bitch was going to leave me. If I lost him, I'd lose everything."

John Bannister, the surgeon who dealt with Hendrix at hospital, has said he was convinced the star had drowned in red wine, despite having very little alcohol in his bloodstream.

"I recall vividly the very large amounts of red wine that oozed from his stomach and his lungs and in my opinion there was no question that Jimi Hendrix had drowned, if not at home then on the way to the hospital," he wrote in 1992.

Winona Ryder has no ill-will toward Angelina Jolie

Winona Ryder says she has no ill-will toward Angelina Jolie, who received most of the praise for their 1999 mental hospital drama "Girl, Interrupted."

Although Ryder was the film's lead (and executive producer), Jolie's performance garnered more buzz and landed her a 1999 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

"I knew from the outset that whoever played Lisa was going to get all the attention," Ryder tells the July issue of Empire magazine. "At one point they asked if I wanted to play Lisa and I said, 'No, I want to be Susanna.'"

"But there was no resentment," Ryder goes on. "When it came out, people almost felt bad for me. But I expected it all along. I was really happy with the film, and really proud of it."

If anything, Ryder said, she feels bad for Jolie.

"At the time I worked with her, she was battling her looks because she's so beautiful," she says. "She wanted very much to be taken seriously and not just judged on her looks. And she conquered that."

Lady Gaga: Making of "Paparazzi"

13 Celebrities in Need of a Career Overhaul

Jessica Simpson talks about her life, career, weight, father dad, boyfriend Tony Romo, and other (yawn) fascinating things in a wordy cover story profile -- The Jessica Simpson Question -- in this month's Vanity Fair.

She talked to the writer -- Rich Cohen -- over two glasses of wine, never a good idea. But unfortunately, nothing she says is particularly boozy, revealing or vaguely interesting.

Which other celebs are stalled, sputtering, switching gears or just plain out of gas?

SCARLETT JOHANSSON



Scarlett Johansson now knows that being Woody Allen's muse is not the key to big Hollywood success. Especially since Penelope Cruz got all the darn kudos for "Vicky Cristina Barcelona." Watch Scarlett wise up and flex her Angelina Jolie movie-making muscles in "Ironman." Hey, she's already got the boobs and the lips.

BRITNEY SPEARS



Sure she's got perfume lines and other stuff. But seriously, how long can Britney Spears stay on tour? For the rest of her life? When will her "Circus" land permanently in Las Vegas?

LISA RINNA



Rumor is that Lisa Rinna may lose her $3 million gig hosting TV Guide's red carpet shows. And she didn't get a return role in the new "Melrose Place," despite her desperate traffic-jam publicity stunt ...

What's next, a line of Lisa Rinna lip plumpers? She can always keep shooting Playboy spreads to help sell her exercise videos.

LINDSAY LOHAN



Lindsay Lohan's film career is kaput. She didn't last long on "Ugly Betty." That comeback album she's been working on with Samantha Ronson is still MIA. Now she's launched a line of self-tanners. Can Infomercials be far behind? We'd like to suggest a line of rehabs.

AVRIL LAVIGNE



Avril Lavigne's music career seems to be cooling off on the back burner. Isn't time for our little Punkette to grow up and start giving her fans more than just the finger?

BRITTANY MURPHY



Brittany Murphy was once Hollywood's fresh-faced romantic comedy cutie pie. For about a week. Then she quit the biz, then she came back. So what's she done lately? Other than getting her lips plumped up and false eyelashes applied, we mean.

DENISE RICHARDS



Denise Richard's career is well, "It's Complicated." She never really had a big time film or TV career. She was a Bond Girl, for what's worth. Then she got married to Charlie Sheen and we all know how that ended. The new season of her reality show is starting up again on June 7. We can hardly wait to hear that lyrical hyena laugh.

HEIDI & SPENCER



Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, two of the most annoying people on the planet, have over-marketed themselves to the point that no glossy mags wanted to buy exclusive photos of their recent MTV "The Hills" publicity stunt, er, wedding. What's next, Heidi's birth videos? Anyone?

SARAH JESSICA PARKER



Sarah Jessica Parker should ride the SATC horse as long as she can. But do us a favor, SJP. No more big-screen kissing scenes. This face in High Def close up is truly frightening. Even without that MIA mole.

JENNIFER ANISTON



Jennifer Aniston is still milking the romantic comedy teat with her new film, "The Baster" (with Jason Bateman and Juliette Lewis) about a woman who becomes a single mom via artificial insemination. Let's be blunt. We don't see Aniston ever being nominated for an Oscar. Make the Rom Com money while you can, honey.

ANGELINA JOLIE



Angelina Jolie's last two serious films, "A Mighty Heart" and "Changeling," didn't fare well at the box office or get any big prestigious awards. So she's back to her action suspense "Lara Croft" drill in "Salt. Are we tired of this act yet? Kinda.

CAMERON DIAZ



Cameron Diaz is getting up there and can't keep relying on shaking her booty. Even though it's still pretty darn perky. Her next film, "My Sister's Keeper," -– about a dying child -- may be her dramatic breakthrough role. Or it may just suck. Hey, there's always "Shrek 7: Assisted Living."

I'm disturbed by the lack of men on this list, but otherwise agree with most. However, Heidi & Spencer don't need a career overhaul, they just need to GTFO. They have no career to overhaul.

To everyone asking, the gif is from Jessica Simpson's "I Belong to Me" video, which can be viewed for lulz here.

David Fincher interview

The first album David Fincher bought was Burt Bacharach’s soundtrack to Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid. The film itself made the eight-year old boy decide he had to be a director. His first gig was working at FX house Industrial Light & Magic, before he started making music videos for everyone from Madonna to The Rolling Stones and made his feature debut with Alien. He recovered from that experience to become one of the most visionary filmmakers working today. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, his seventh feature, garnered three Oscars. “It’ll take me five years to process the maelstrom of nonsense that was part and parcel of that experience,” he says, laughing. “But I’m happy with the movie...”

Empire: What did your mum make of The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button?

David Fincher: My mom really liked it, which is probably not good news! Although I live for her opinion. You know, mom said all the right things: “Your father would have loved it!” She’s a little sentimental.

E: Who did you watch your first R-rated movie with?

D: I’m trying to think. I’m sure The Godfather was an R, right? They shoot a man’s eye out! So I’m going to say it was that. I was ten! There was a theatre in San Anselmo [in California]. My friend Scott Urquart, his older sister was the manager of it. It was awesome! We’d go in the side door and watch whatever the hell we wanted.

E: And be scarred for life!

D: Exactly. My parents wouldn’t let me see Taxi Driver. I had to sneak off and see that. Saw The Exorcist and my parents found out when I couldn’t sleep for three weeks. “Why won’t you sleep?” “I don’t know, I just... I just feel like... everything’s a little weird tonight. Don’t you think we should turn the lights on?”

E: Were you a big reader, growing up?

D: No. I know — it’s sad! You tend to feel differently about reading things when your dad’s a writer. It wasn’t as fun, for some reason. I guess it was easier to go to the movies — and remember, at the time, there were a lot of really great movies. And that was something my father and I loved to do together.

E: What do you remember watching together?

D: I loved the Monty Python movies. Loved. I made my dad drive us 45 minutes to see And Now For Something Completely Different. He was like, “All these skits are in the TV show!”
But he loved Holy Grail.

E: Who would you say has been the biggest influence on your career?

D: I’d probably say [manager] Josh Donen. He gave me the book for Fight Club and found me Panic Room. Actually it was sort of, “I’ve read this script and you won’t want to do it, because it all takes place in one house” and — of course — as soon as somebody says you won’t want to do it because of some limitation I’m like, “Why? That could be kinda cool; maybe someone could really do something with that!” And then, you know, he put together Zodiac. So Josh and Ceán [Chaffin, Fincher’s partner]. Both those.

E: Do you remember the first album you bought?

D: The first album I bought? You know what, I’m going to bet you it was the soundtrack to Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, Burt Bacharach’s. I know it was. I was eight. That was probably the first.

E: That’s something to listen to whenever you’re feeling down…

D: It’s amazing and it’s so weird that it works! [starts humming ‘Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head’] Oh my God! I can’t believe they’re going to have ‘Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head’! That’s the one thing Bob Wagner [Fincher’s regular assistant director] and I always argue about. It’s like, “Yeah, it’s a great movie but can you get past ‘Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head’?” And I, of course, can, and I don’t know why that is…

E: George Lucas lived near you when you were growing up and you went on to work at Industrial Light + Magic, but did you ever have any dealings with him?

D: Never. He was, you know, he was just a thing that we all aspired to be: a guy in charge of his own world.

E: You made a music video with The Rolling Stones. Were you nervous about working with them?

D: This is a true story. The Rolling Stones was, I think, the first concert I ever went to, when I was about 10 years old. I liked this song I was going to do the video for, ‘Love Is Strong’. I thought it was a kind of cool, nasty little Stones [number]. You know, you could imagine it coming out of a jukebox. Like, “Yeah! /That’s a Stones song!” So that’s why I agreed to do it and I ended up having one, five-minute, conversation with Mick and a couple of conversations with managers and I trundled off to Vancouver.

E: Where they were touring?

D: Yeah. Then it was about a week of being tortured by third-hand hearsay about, “Well, they don’t like this and they don’t like that and can you come up with something for this?” And I was like, “Hey man, I don’t tell you how to make your records, let me make the video that I know how to make…” There were so many hierarchical levels to get through. I remember kind of being fed up and I got this call to say, “Hey you should come down to the rehearsal and meet with them and walk them through it one last time.” I said, “All right.” I was kinda pissed off. And I’m about ready to just go, “You know what? Fuck this! You guys have such clear ideas about what it is you want to do, you go ahead!” I was pretty fed up. And I remember pulling into this arena and all of a sudden I hear [hums opening bars of ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’] And it just sends shivers! All of a sudden you go, “That’s why I’m here! I’d totally forgotten why I’m here, I’d totally forgotten why I’m putting up with all this bullshit: because of /that/!” And all of my wanting to tell everybody off just kind of melted [laughs]. How great, how fortunate am I?

E: What other director would you love to watch work?

D: Um, oh, I don’t know. You know, I’ve seen Steven Spielberg work. That’s pretty impressive. I’ve seen Martin Scorsese work – that was interesting. It’s like he’s feeding the editing room. He’s not leaving it there on the floor, he’s collecting… I haven’t been on that many sets. I’ve been on my friend’s sets. Which of course is always agonising because you sit there and you go, you know, “Give me a B camera, let me help you out”, because you see them pulling their hair out, going, “I don’t have the time, I can’t shoot this or that!”

E: People like Spike Jonze or Steven Soderbergh…

D: Yeah or Mark [Romanek, director of One Hour Photo]. Steven not so much, because it’s all so quiet. He runs an amazing set. His world that he’s made for himself and the way that it works is very impressive.

E: What was the most important thing you learned from making The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button?

D: Oh, I don’t know! I don’t know what I learned. But I’m happy with the movie. It’s nice to be happy with your movies. It’s painful when you want to be in the line of people with socks filled with horse manure, who want to just beat that movie. You don’t want to be the person who wants to be in that line, to tear your own movie apart!

E: What sort of music inspires you?

D: I’m back into a little bit of a Beatles kick, I don’t know why. The weird thing is when you’re growing up and you’re four years old, you’re like, “Oh, that’s a good song and I like that...” Then next year comes another and the next year and every six months there’s a new album. You know, now I’m middle-aged and I look back on the stuff I was doing when I was 27, which sucked ass, and then you look at The Beatles and you go, “Their whole career lasted seven years!”

E: Hang on, didn’t you make Seven when you were 25 or something?

D: No, no, I was at least 30! That’s still depressing. (Laughs) A friend of mine likes to say, “Remember, when Mozart was your age he’d been dead for 12 years!”

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button is out on DVD and Blu-ray on 8 June.

Katie Couric scratches at her cougar label

The annual Class Day address at Princeton University requires a speaker with a flair for comedy. But before she even began on Monday, Katie Couric feared the joke was on her, courtesy of Mother Nature.

"It was quite an honor, although slightly daunting to follow in the footsteps of Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart and Jerry Seinfield," Couric, 52, says. "At the precise moment I got up to walk to the podium ... a hawk dropped its half-eaten lunch – a dead bird – in front of me. It landed with a thud."

But then the CBS Evening News anchor jumped right into her irreverent speech that offered a not-so-subtle dig at Sarah Palin "I've been called a cougar lately ... but today ... I'm very happy to be an honorary Tiger instead!" she said, referring to the school's mascot. "Coming here was a real no brainer! After all, I can see New Jersey from my house!"

On a more serious note, she offered some words of wisdom. "Don't be a hater," she said. "Princeton has taught you to think critically, to approach things with a healthy dose of skepticism ... and that's a good thing, as Martha Stewart would say. ... Rise above the collegial nastiness and instead celebrate excellence."

Blake Lively Takes Flight — Of The Conchords

Blake Lively celebrates the lighting of the Burberry sign across the Manhattan skyline with costar/boyfriend Penn Badgley at The New York Palace Hotel on Thursday. The event coincided with the day being declared Burberry Day by the NYC’s Mayor Bloomberg.

At the event, I asked the 21-year-old Gossip Girl actress what she thought of her date night out with Penn at Fuerza Bruta: Look Up.

“It was incredible,” Blake shared. “It was wonderful to see. It’s such an interesting art form you don’t generally see. [The indoor rain] was the highlight!”

I also asked her which TV show she would want to guest star on. “Flight of the Conchords!” Blake told JustJared.com with no hesitation. “I love it so much. It’s my favorite show. I’m obsessed with it.”

You hear that HBO? Get crackin’!

Miranda Kerr is naked with koalas

IT'S a bold move but Miranda Kerr pulls it off with style.

The home-grown model has posed for her first nude photo shoot, appearing on the cover of the latest edition of Australian Rolling Stone.

She joins an exclusive club who have stripped off for the mag, including Britney Spears, Jennifer Aniston and Lady GaGa.

Another famous face to have graced its cover while keeping his clothes on was former Prime Minister Paul Keating, pictured in cool Ray-Ban sunglasses.

In the US Kerr, 26, is best known as a Victoria's Secret lingerie model and Orlando Bloom's squeeze, but back home she is also the wholesome face of David Jones.

She says she decided to go "au naturel" to raise awareness of the environment, specifically koalas.

"I feel strongly about the need to protect our natural environment because it supports our life - it really is that simple,'' Kerr tells the magazine, in stores on Wednesday.

Kerr shot the cover for Rolling Stone's first "green issue'' in Sydney in January, with photographer Carlotta Moye behind the lens.

The day-long shoot also included a real koala named Koral, as Kerr is the face of the Australian Koala Foundation's No Tree, No Me campaign.

The campaign aims to protect koalas' natural habitat, hence Kerr's only prop for the shoot is a chain locking her to a tree.

"It's a sad thing - there are only about 100,000 koalas left in Australia,'' Kerr said.

"Something like 80 per cent of the koalas' habitat has been destroyed since Europeans arrived in Australia.''

Kerr is also set to appear in American designer Marc Jacob's new Protect The Skin You're In T-shirt campaign, joining the likes of Eva Mendes, Heidi Klum, Dita Von Teese, Naomi Campbell and Victoria Beckham to raise awareness of skin cancer.

"I'm fully covered - at least, they've covered my bits with the words,'' she laughed.

Other celebrities to have ditched their clothes for a cause include Nicollette Sheridan, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Donovan and Leona Lewis. Given Kerr's high profile, these latest striking images are likely to be picked up by America's Rolling Stone magazine.

"The great thing about having people recognise you is you can try to make a positive difference - that's what I'm trying to do, especially for young women,'' Kerr said.

Rolling Stone's inaugural green issue includes other well-known Australian faces - John Butler, Ruby Rose and Xavier Rudd - talking about environmental issues close to their hearts.

"I believe every effort we make now has a reaction - if we're making positive changes, if we're all doing the simple, small things we can do to help the environment, it makes a big difference,'' said Kerr, who tries to eat only organic food.

Paris Hilton recording new album

This year will be remembered as an important year in history: President Obama’s inauguration, the economic crisis and Paris Hilton’s comeback.

The Paris Hilton franchise is expanding with sophomore efforts from both her TV career and music career. Fresh off of her announcement of a second season of her MTV reality series, “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF,” the heiress discussed her forthcoming album and the inspiration behind the material: herself.

“I just talk about, you know … about things that have happened in my life — about friendship, it’s about love, you know, about certain instances in my life, and I think that people will get a really good insight on me and how I think.”

So if you can’t get enough about her life from the TV series, perhaps think of her album as the audio companion to it. So we know what it’s about — but what does it sound like?

Candy Spelling Blames Tori for Aaron's Death

Everybody knows Candy and Tori Spelling had a beef, but now moms is taking the family feud to a whole new level of nasty.

Appearing on a Massachusetts radio station Thursday to pimp her new book, Stories from Candyland, Candy Spelling not just bad-mouthed her 90210-starring spawn, but went so far as to blame husband Aaron Spelling's demise on her estranged daughter.

"My daughter one day decided that she wasn't speaking to my husband, myself and my son and that's how it's continued for the last, oh gosh, four or five years," Candy said to 94.7 WMAS-FM's Kellogg Krew.

"And it was sad, that's what killed my husband actually. He just didn't want to live after that. He has just done everything he could possibly do for his daughter and she wanted no part of him once he couldn't do anything for her."

The über-producer died June 23, 2006, following a stroke; angst was not listed as the official cause of death.

Candy says that while both women have paid lip service in interviews about reconnecting, there has been no such luck thus far. "I've always been trying to work on the relationship. I don't know what the anger is."

Call it a hunch, but maybe it has something to do with the accusations of patricide.

We've been trying to get reps for Tori and Candy on the horn, but so far nada.

Toy Story 3 Teaser Trailer

"Entertainment Tonight has a preview of the teaser trailer for Toy Story 3. Someone video taped it (literally, with a video camera) and uploaded the 45-second clip onto YouTube. The quality isn’t great, and that Entertainment Tonight voiceover guy is annoying (sorry for stating the obvious) but those of you who are interested can watch it after the jump. I love how they managed to involve most of the main characters. I’ve heard that the teaser trailer is only playing on digital and digital 3D screenings of Up."

Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski on Chuck's Renewal

After all those Subway five-dollar footlongs and tireless online campaigns from Chuck fans, the NBC show was saved with a 13-episode pickup. Stars Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski sent TV Guide Magazine a special thank you message to fans to share their gratitude:

"To sit back and observe the way in which Chuck was renewed was simply remarkable. I am so blessed to be a part of producing something that, when it appears to be at risk of disappearing, those loyal to it join in solidarity and literally speak, march, work, buy, share and will it back into existence. To know that such a huge part of our saving grace was comprised of the media and circle of critics, allows me to appreciate it even further. I'm proud of our crew, and I'm proud of what we're a part of bringing to all of you. But most importantly, I'm proud of you, those that fought. Because not only did you resist the apathy that befalls anyone faced by such adversity, you did so by believing your words and actions mean something. That you mean something. And I hope you know that, to us, you always do. Love & Blessings. -Zac (Viva la Nerdalution)"

"Yay, Chuck! I am absolutely amazed at how much support we have received from our fans and without it, we may not have been around for a third season. A big three cheers to all the people who saved Chuck! - Yvonne"
