Gossip Sting and wife found guilty of discrimination

Sting and his wife are in trouble for firing their chef for being pregnant. An employment tribunal ruled on Thursday that the woman had been unlawfully dismissed by Lake House Estate, Sting and Trudie Styler's management company, and was a victim of sexual discrimination. The 41-year-old chef worked for Sting and Styler for eight years, but says Styler began treating her unfairly after she became pregnant in 2005, forcing her to work long hours and expressing anger when she took time off work due to illness. The woman described Sting as having a "grandiose ego" and eventually left her post in April 2006 in light of the working conditions. The tribunal found that although Styler "had tried to distance herself from various unlawful acts and then have them carried out by minions on her behalf, when the evidence is looked at holistically, her involvement is clear. She is without doubt the driving force manipulating others to perform her dirty work." Styler announced that she and Sting planned to appeal the ruling.

Gossip Courtney to auction off Kurt's stuff

Courtney Love plans to sell former husband Kurt Cobain's belongings, twelve years after the Nirvana frontman committed suicide. "I'm going to have a Christie's auction," Love told spinner.com. "[My house] is like a mausoleum. My daughter doesn't need to inherit a giant Hefty bag full of flannel f***ing shirts. A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to Teen Spirit - that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just f***ing sell... Everyone's been positive and behind me on it. We'll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity." An rep for AOL, which runs spinner.com, announced today that no date has been set for the auction. Although Love has had a few boyfriends since Cobain's death, including actor Edward Norton, she says he's still a big part of her life. "I still wear his pajamas to bed," she says. "How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt's pajamas?"

Gossip Boy George arrested for assaulting gay escort

80s popstar Boy George (whose real name is George O'Dowd) has been arrested in charges of assault and false imprisonment in London after a male escort told police he was grabbed and chained to a wall in the singer's apartment. The escort told a British newspaper he was invited to O'Dowd's home after meeting on a gay website and agreed to pose for photos in kinky outfits for $890. O'Dowd and another man are accused of jumping the man and handcuffing him to a hook, and after the second man left, O'Dowd allegedly brought out sex toys and whips and told the escort, "Now you'll get what you deserve." The man said he was able to yank the hook out of the wall and ran to the nearest newsstand to call the cops dressed in underwear and a T-shirt.

Gossip Michelle Branch stalker apprehended

Michelle Branch stopped her concert in Sheboygan earlier this week when she spotted her alleged stalker in the crowd, asking from the stage for security to approach the guy. "Michelle Branch just said, 'Wait a second. There's a guy in the audience - striped shirt and glasses - can somebody check him out?'" said a concert-goer. "It left everyone just so confused, like, 'Is this a joke, part of the show?'" After security apprehended the man, Branch apologized to the crowd and played her last song. Authorities say the man has been following Branch to concerts around the country for more than three years and has weasled his way backstage and to aftershow parties, and even lunged at the singer at an autograph signing. "He used to get his way into meet-and-greets and private events somehow and would try to approach her and touch her and just really inappropriate stuff," said the Wreckers singer's road manager. Branch was especially concerned to see the man in her audience on Monday night because her 19-month-old daughter was there. "He's been to her last several shows, but it caught her completely off-guard that he was in Sheboygan," said a police lieutenant.
