STARS AND CARS

Saturday night (6 January 2007) in Detroit, Michigan, was all about when the stars met the cars.

Hollywood celebrities came to the Motor City to participate in the GM Style event.

The event was held on the eve of the 2007 North American International Auto Show which previews the latest innovations in the auto industry.

GM Style is part fashion show, part auto show.

The event teams celebrities such as Jay-Z, Christian Slater and Carmen Electra up with top of the line cars.

'Dreamgirls' star Jennifer Hudson may be a lady, but she says she is attracted to big boy cars:

"I would prefer something big so when it comes up the street you think it is a guy, a big old man pulling in and then, I get out and it is a little diva. It is like, no she is not driving that car. I want something big but flashy and fabulous."

'Dancing with the Stars' runner-up Mario Lopez was escorted on the runway by a Chevrolet WTCC - a concept race car which premiered in the 2006 Paris Motor Show.

"Driving any of these cars you can't beat," Lopez says. "I am a big car buff being a guy so seeing all of these cars and getting the VIP tours of all of them it's pretty cool."

Carmen Electra's date was the Camero concept car. "Entertainment merging with automobiles, music, fashion. It is really cool," Electra said. "I think that is what the future is all about merging all of those different worlds together."

Christian Slater took to the catwalk with the Holden EFIJY which is considered to be the "hot rod" for the 21st century.

Hip hop star Jay-Z may have had the biggest honours for the night.

Jay exited a Yukon Denali unveiling a new colour: Jay-Z blue. "It's been, I want to say a year and a half, maybe two years in the making," Jay-Z says. "Even going through the proper channels and registering with Pantone and the whole thing. It is a real thing. It has been in the works for a couple of years now."

Other celebrities who attended the event include Petra Nemcova, Vivica Fox and Cheryl Hines.

"Top Gear" host Chris Evans announced Monday that he's quitting the BBC's flagship car show after just one series.

Evans, 50, who also hosts a popular BBC radio breakfast show, told his 2.31 million Twitter followers: "Stepping down from Top Gear. Gave it my best shot but sometimes that's not enough. The team are beyond brilliant, I wish them all the best."

The car show has struggled to draw a big audience since it was relaunched in May, hosted by Evans and former "Friends" star Matt LeBlanc.

The revamped show attracted just 1.9 million viewers to its season finale on Sunday, down from 5.8 million viewers when outspoken trio Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were at the helm.

It's not yet known whether LeBlanc will stay on for a second series of the show.

Evans and LeBlanc were joined by a string of celebrities throughout the series, including actor "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey and "Absolutely Fabulous" creator Jennifer Saunders. The high-profile guests failed to boost audience ratings.

MADONNA, GWYNETH PALTROW and BOY GEORGE were among the guests checking out the VERSACE fall collection in Paris on Saturday.

Madonna arrived late, in true diva style, with her entourage of bodyguards.

Chelsea Clinton and Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood also joined the crowd to see Donatella Versace's latest designs.

Not everyone is so impressed with Paris Fashion week however - PETA protestors took the opportunity to push their anti-fur message home, by storming the Versace catwalk. They waved a banner bearing the message 'fur kills' before security stepped in and removed them.

The show itself was full of bright colours and outrageous fabrics.

The Las Vegas style touches included hot-coloured stretch minis with geometric ribbon patterns and multi coloured sequin dresses.

The colours were mostly fluorescent or iridescent. Short and long dresses were plastered with crystals and sequin decorations.

Electric green draped dresses and a gown with electric green and pink embroidery probably pleased many saucy showgirls and stars.

The exhibition brings together more than 120 color and black-and-white pictures by Testino, who was Princess Diana's favorite fashion photographer.

Images taken of Diana shortly before she died will be shown alongside portraits of icons from fashion, film and music. There are also special sections devoted to images of Madonna, Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow.

NELSON MANDELA MEETS 'ALI' STAR WILL SMITH

US superstar WILL SMITH charmed South African fans at the weekend on his visit to the country for the premiere of 'ALI', which tells the story of boxing legend Muhammad Ali.

Smith also met former president Nelson Mandela during the trip when he headed an auction of memorabilia from 'Ali' to raise funds for Mandela's charity. He entertained crowds by taking over from the auctioneer and even joked that he did a better job of it himself.

Boundlessly energetic and effervescent Smith won more hearts when he announced that he plans to move to South Africa.

"I just love it here, I've been looking for a house, you know spend a couple of months out of every year, I have just got to get my wife here to look around. She is in Australia working on 'the Matrix 2 and 3'. As soon as I can get here we are going to see if we can find a place."

Smith has received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Ali, which focuses on the boxer's prime, from his Cassius Clay days in 1964 when he wins the heavyweight crown from Sonny Liston, through his return to glory 10 years later as he reclaims the championship from George Foreman at the 'Rumble in the Jungle' in Zaire.

The film also looks at his friendship with Malcolm X, his time in the wasteland as a Vietnam draft resister and his struggles with Muslim chauvinism in relation to the women in his life.

Smith was accompanied to South Africa by director Michael Mann.

The film also stars Oscar nominated Jon Voight, unrecognizably made-up as sportscaster Howard Cosell and Jamie Foxx in a surprisingly rich turn as troubled Ali aide Drew "Bundini" Brown.

Ali has special significance for the South African film industry as a number of South Africans worked on the film when parts of it was shot in Maputo.

LIZA'S FRIENDS AND FANS SHARE HER WEDDING JOY

Guests at LIZA MINNELLI's fourth wedding said she danced at the altar as a bevy of celebrities helped her and producer DAVID GEST celebrate their nuptials.

The crowd outside Marble Collegiate Church screamed as the newlyweds slipped out a side door.

A limousine waited to take them to a reception with an eclectic and glittering guest list.

It featured such showbiz legends A-list stars as actors

ANTHONY HOPKINS and MICHAEL DOUGLAS, rocker ELTON JOHN and GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA.

Others arriving in limos, Rolls-Royces and even yellow

cabs were celebrities such as JOAN COLLINS, ROBERTA FLACK and ROBERT GOULET.

"This was one of the most thrilling weddings I've ever been to," veteran actor MICKEY ROONEY told reporters and photographers as fans watched from across the street.

Elizabeth Taylor and actress Marisa Berenson were maids of honour. Jackson and his brother TITO, childhood friends of Gest, were best men. The bridal party was to include actors Tony Franciosa and Robert Wagner, actresses Mia Farrow, Janet Leigh, and Gina Lollobrigida, and singers Petula Clark and Michael Mcdonald.

Curious New Yorkers observed from rooftops and apartment windows.

Saturday's wedding extravaganza had promised more excess than Minnelli's first three combined.

"Liza's Nutty Nuptials," proclaimed a headline in the New York Post.

The bride and groom were introduced by Jackson last year when Minnelli appeared in Gest's television production of 'Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Special.'

Minnelli was wed previously to entertainer Peter Allen (1967-72), producer Jack Haley Jr. (1974-79), and stage manager/sculptor Mark Gero (1979-92).

Minnelli, who turned 56 on Tuesday, will honeymoon in Thailand. Afterward, the daughter of Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli will launch a European tour that kicks off with five shows in London.

For Minnelli, the wedding marks a personal comeback. Early last year, she nearly died after a battle with encephalitis. She was severely overweight and worried she might never sing again.

The bride was expected to be 90 pounds (40 kilograms) lighter when she put on the long, custom-made gown. And she credited her future husband, 48, with getting her back into shape -which has not always been easy for Minnelli, winner of an Academy Award, an Emmy, two Golden Globes and three Tony Awards.

The marriage, at the 147-year-old Marble Collegiate Church on New York's Fifth Avenue, was the first for Gest, 48.

In an interview with Britain's OK! magazine, which bought exclusive rights to cover the wedding, Broadway producer Gest said he and Minnelli planned to adopt four children.

He told the magazine: "We are going to spend half the year living in France just outside Paris, where we will raise our children. "We are adopting four children... of all races, a black child, a white child... it doesn't matter at all.

"Liza is going to be the best mother in the world. She has the greatest heart of anyone I've ever met,"

She entered a not-guilty plea and the next court date was scheduled for July 15th at which time there may be an argument on the defense motion for reccusal of the District Attorney's office that will only happen if the Attorney General's office gets served papers by the defense in a timely matter, so it can prepare. Otherwise, the next courtdate is for

pre-trial and trial setting. At this point in time - because Miss Ryder hasn't waved time there would be a tentative trial date set for August 15th.

11. Wide shot press conference

WINONA RYDER ARRAIGNMENT

Winona Ryder says she's not guilty but a judge in Beverly Hills says there's enough evidence against her to go to trial.

The Oscar nominated actress showed up for an arraignment on Friday where she pled not guilty to charges of grand theft, commercial burglary, felony vandalism and a drug violation.

Ryder was stopped by security guards at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills in December after allegedly trying to walk out with some 6-thousand U-S dollars worth of goods.

She was also allegedly spotted cutting security tags off a number of items whilst in a changing room.

After being stopped by security - guards found prescription pain killers in her handbag that were not prescribed to her.

Other items found on her person that she is alleged to have stolen are numerous women's hair accessories, handbags and various items of women's clothing.

The actress's attorney - Mark Garagos - is accusing the District Attorneys office of being 'overzealous' and picking on Ryder who is currently free on $20-thousand U-S bail.

The District Attorney is already expecting Ryder's attorney to file a motion for recusal - which, if approved, would mean another court would hear her case.

Garagos believes this court is pre-prejudiced against the actress.

The court information officer says recusals are not rare - but are rarely approved.

Ryder's next court date is July 15th.

9. SOT Alice Myers - "It's fantastic, unbelievable! (What was he like as a little boy? Can you believe this is happening?) Sort of - he was always outstanding!"

COMEDY HERO IS STAR STRUCK

Mike Myers' place in comedy and Hollywood history has been set in stone.

On Wednesday the 'Austin Powers' creator choked back tears as a dream came true when he unveiled his own star on the Hollywood Boulevard.

Fittingly sited outside the Love Boutique - an erotic goods store - Myers unveiled his star in the company of Dreamworks boss Jeffrey Katzenberg and his on-screen Number Two Robert Wagner.

On hand, too, for the unveiling was Mike's wife Robin and his mother, Alice, among other family members.

Myers beloved Father, Eric, died in 1991 from complications with Alzheimers.

Myers was born in 1963 in Scarborough, Canada to British parents.

This probably helps explain his love of all things British.

On the day he graduated for high school he auditioned and got into the famed comedy improvisation group - Second City.

From there he moved on to star on Saturday Night Live for six years.

During his tenure with the late night comedy show he created some of the comedy world's most recognized characters including Wayne and Garth, and Dieter the German talk show host.

By the time 'Wayne's World' became a box office success Myers had left Saturday Night Live and penned a little script in three weeks for a movie called 'Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.'

His salary has leapt from just about nothing in his early comedy days to 25-million U-S dollars plus 21% of the gross from 'Austin Powers in Goldmember'.

In total - his films have grossed nearly 750-million U-S dollars to date.

Now that's something to swing about, baby!

'N SYNC BEGINS NASA TRAINING FOR SPACE TRIP

'N Sync singer Lance Bass is a step closer to his dream of becoming a space tourist, after winning the endorsement of NASA and other space agencies Tuesday.

After 1½ months of debating Bass' qualifications, NASA and the other space station partners signed off on his trip.

In July, the Russian Space Agency submitted Bass' name for one of three seats on a rocket scheduled to blast off from Kazakhstan in the autumn.

A panel representing NASA and the space agencies of Russia, Japan, Europe and Canada signed off Tuesday on Bass' participation after weeks of telephone conferences to discuss his background and qualifications.

Despite the singer's on-off status over the past several months, NASA politely agreed to accept Bass for a week of space station training at Johnson Space Center, to help his bid to fly to the international space station this autumn.

Bass is learning alongside a Russian and a Belgian assigned to the lifeboat-swapping mission scheduled for a Kazakhstan liftoff on 28th October.

The three men arrived on Monday after working together at cosmonaut headquarters in Star City, Russia.

If he makes it into orbit, the pop star would become the world's third paying space tourist and the youngest person ever in space.

The stodgy, middle-aged NASA is jumping on the 'N Sync singer's bandwagon, and upping its kid-appeal in the process- even though not everyone is thrilled about Russia's bid to send a 23-year-old with barely a high school education to the international space station .

Bass may not be the most scientifically savvy or most experienced guy to go through space training. But he certainly is one of the most artistic and definitely the most appealing to the hard-to-impress, under-20 crowd.

But before Bass can be considered a fully-fledged member of Russia's next crew, TV producers need to wrap up a deal with the cash-strapped Russian space programme.

Unlike the first two space tourists, California businessman Dennis Tito and South African Internet tycoon Mark Shuttleworth, Bass is rounding up corporate sponsors to pay his fare.

A round-trip ticket to the space station on a Russian spacecraft costs as much as 20 million dollars (US). Haggling over the deal has been going on for months.

A Los Angeles production company has plans for a TV show following Bass' space adventures.

But Bass is likely to feel his plans are going well after Tuesday's news.

NASA spokesperson Debra Rahn said "They've agreed that Mr Bass meets the criteria and is suitable as a crew member"

The recommendation has been forwarded to a board of high-ranking space agency officials who will review Bass' candidacy and issue a final ruling in September, Rahn said.

BUFFY TIES THE KNOT

'Buffy' star Sarah Michelle Geller, 25, and her long term love Freddy Prince Junior, 26, tied the knot yesterday on a Mexican clifftop.

The pair, who met five years ago on the set of horror spoof 'I Know What You Did Last Summer', got engaged last April and were rumoured to have married in Las Vegas in July.

Following much media speculation, the real wedding took place at a secluded estate near the exclusive Puerto Vallarta resort in Mexico.

The five star resort was rented exclusively for the couple and their family and friends.

Freddie has made his name with a string of successful teen hits including 'She's All That', 'Boys and Girls' and 'Head Over Heels'. He also co-starred with Geller in the summer hit 'Scooby Doo'.

Geller has also starred in other big screen ventures such as 'Cruel Intentions' and 'Scream 2'

And we will hopefully do that for a few more years to come at least."

5. Cut away presser

6. SOUNDBITE Kim Cattrall: " I relate to all the characters , sometimes at different points in my life. This was such an interesting series because I always felt that to be single was not a positive thing. I always felt that it was oh no-one want me I am not attached in a relationship. I am not dating anyone, where am I going? And I feel that this series brings women together in a very positive way about a specific time in their lives before they are a wife, before they are a mother, before they are a grandmother to celebrate this time."

7. SOUNDBITE Kim Cattrall: " I think she is very ironic. I think she is very intelligent. I think she is very professional and very, very sexy. "

8. Cut away presser

9. SOUNDBITE Kim Cattrall:" So this is positive and this is easy for me to , in my personal life to think about Samantha as my alter ego. If someone attacks her in some way i defend her because I think what she represents is something very needed between women and in our society representing a woman who is positive about her life sexually or otherwise."

10. SOUNDBITE Kim Cattrall:" I think Samantha has really made me understand how important girlfriends are in your life. I feel that men may come and men may go but women are in my life and in most other womens life forever. "

11. Cut away presser

12. SOUNDBITE Kim Cattrall:"Hopefully after seeing Sex In The City they will understand what it is about. It is not just about sex, which I think The Sopranos is not just about violence, it is about different factions in all of our lives. but the taboo attached to Sex In the City I think will take a lot longer to become part of our lives in America. But the fact that it exists now to me is a huge step forward. I think that the subject matter is always challenging Americans to think differently about themselves physically , emotionally and certainly about about sex."

13. Cut away presser, applause

Sex in the City's Samantha here to stay

Kim Cattrall scotched rumours that she is planning to leave the hit TV show 'Sex and the City.'

Speaking at a Paris press conference to launch the series on dvd/video and the book spin off, Cattrall who plays the sexy man-eater Samantha, said the press reports of her departure were "fiction" and she remained committed to the award-winning HBO show.

Cattrall, 42, added that she believed that the comedy drama, based the lives and loves of four New York women, could change America's uptight attitudes to sex.

The show began its fifth season in July in America.

In the new series, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) begins to focus on herself, her friends and her career. Samantha (Kim Cattrall) wonders what her life will be like after her first monogamous relationship.

Charlotte (Kirstin Davis) comes to terms with being separated and single again and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) copes with changes brought on by being a single mother.

The producers of the Emmy-award winning series had to grapple with the news of leading lady Sarah Jessica Parker's real-life pregnancy in the beginning of filming the upcoming season. She is expecting her first child, with actor husband Matthew Broderick, in the autumn.

They decided not to write the pregnancy into her show. This season has been dubbed a mini-season, as it has been condensed to eight shows.

Cynthia Nixon is also pregnant in real-life - she is expecting her second child with English professor Danny Mozes at the end of the year.

In the meantime, Kim Cattrall has come up with her own spin off from the series - a self help book with her husband Matthew Levinson titled 'Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm.'

JACKO GETS WACKO WITH BABY

Michael Jackson said he made a "terrible mistake" by holding his young son over a fourth-floor balcony railing at a Berlin hotel, thrilling fans who wanted to see the child but shocking many people who watched on television.

German and U.S. television news programs repeatedly broadcast footage of the reclusive pop star's brief appearance Tuesday at the Hotel Adlon, while images of the stunt dominated the UK newspapers this morning (20 NOV).

The boy had what appeared to be a white cloth over his head as Jackson held the child with one arm around his upper body over the edge of the hotel's iron balcony.

The child, wearing a baby blue jumper, was the singer's third and youngest, Prince Michael II, said Antje Sigesmund, a spokeswoman for the Bambi Entertainment Award ceremony, which Jackson is attending in Berlin.

On Tuesday night, Jackson issued a written statement saying he had gotten carried away when fans below the window asked to see the baby.

"I made a terrible mistake," he said. "I got caught up in the excitement of the moment. I would never intentionally endanger the lives of my children."

Dozens of fans had gathered outside the hotel, just opposite Berlin's landmark Brandenburg Gate, and security had to remove some from the lobby.

Several carried banners, including one that said "Save the Kids," with drawings of children's faces, a reference to Jackson's philanthropy. Another said "Really good to see you."

Jackson, wearing a bright red shirt, smiled and waved to the fans, at one point tossing a small white towel to the crowd below. The singer then went inside and retrieved the toddler, using one arm to hold the boy out over the iron rail.

Fans cheered as the pop star appeared with the child, but Jackson quickly retreated into his hotel room.

The Chicago-based advocacy group Prevent Child Abuse America criticized Jackson's behavior, though it said the boy did not appear to be harmed.

"It is a painful reminder that even the most well-intentioned among us sometimes act in ways that put children in danger of being abused or neglected," said A. Sidney Johnson, president and CEO of the group.

Little is known about Prince Michael II. People Magazine reported in August that he was six months old. The magazine, citing an anonymous friend, said the boy was not adopted and did not identify the mother.

The singer also has two children with ex-wife Debbie Rowe: a 5-year-old boy, also named Prince Michael, and a 4-year-old girl, Paris. The couple divorced in 1999.

In Berlin, Jackson was taking a break from a California courtroom where he testified last week in a $21 million lawsuit claiming he backed out of concerts. He arrived in Berlin to pick up a Bambi for life achievement

Thursday.

He is to attend a benefit for homeless children and a charity auction where he will put a jacket and hat on the block Wednesday.

At a press conference this moring where Jackson himself was not present, Patricia Riekel, editor in chief of celebrity magazine "Bunte" spoke up for the star saying:

"I've seen the pictures and if he (Michael Jackson) gave a statement about it OK, but I don't think that he acted irresponsibly. An English child care organisation already raised objections, but I think this is unnecessary. Michael Jackson loves his children, and he is a lovely and tender father. I think his actions did not put his baby in danger."

Reikel went on to deny the rumours of a Jackson double:

"It is nonsense that it is a double of Jackson. Only tabloid journalists create this rumour. It is Jackson himself. We would not care that much about him if the man was a double. If you know Michael Jackson personally - he has a strong aura and you would know it immediatly if it was not him."

J LO REACTS TO OWN PUBLICITY

JENNIFER LOPEZ has been shocked by the press coverage of the news of her engagement to BEN AFFLECK, she recently announced.

The actress, singer, fashion label owner and perfurmier, who announced that she was engaged on Diane Sawyer's national, prime-time American TV show (ABC-13NOV02), was hoping everyone would forget.

"I don't know," she mused, "I thought maybe when we announced it that people would let it go but it doesn't seem like that.

"Do I regret saying it?" she continues, "No it's true and it's a wonderful thing and we are very happy."

Even before the announcement, the pair were being tailed around Los Angeles by photographers desperate to capture them kissing - something J Lo attempted to send up in her video for 'Jenny From The Block'.

Twice married J Lo, whose divorce from dancer Chris Judd comes through in January 2003, told Diane Sawyer she knew her relationship with Ben was the real thing because of the "fire inside".

She said Ben proposed in a "traditional, but very spectacular way" - and has since explained that he transformed his parents' house in Boston with candles and a carpet of petals before producing the large diamond ring.

The couple met last winter while shooting the movie 'Gigli,' in which Lopez plays a gangster sent to supervise a thug, played by Affleck, in a kidnapping.

She describes Affleck as "brilliantly smart," charming and affectionate. "My mother loves Ben," she adds.

obviously, about oh this movie's going to happen and oh, there will be so many people attached and I said 'You know, I'll think about it when that offer comes in' which it did and then my next thought was I'll think about

it when we start shooting because who knows? It may never happen. So, it wasn't until my first day of shooting which was the opening scene of All That Jazz when I sing and dance the number -t hat was my first day of work.

Can you imagine how nervous I was? I wanted to run all the way home to Wales and say please don't knock on my door, I'm unavailable right now. So, it wasn't until that day, I said to myself Oh my Gosh - we're doing this and

there's no turning back!"

(Q: you have a new family member coming!) "I know! It feels, it feels like - well I am blessed - I'm very happy and just to be in a movie like this and to have this little one on the way - it's really an exciting time!"

You want to have an emotional experience on film - so the narrative became smarter and fuller emotionally and what Renee brought to it really makes it moving! (Q: Well, she thinks you brought a lot to it, too) " Well, we all love each other, obviously! (Q: What kind of challenges, were there new things you achieved?)

It lends itself to the industry. Dancers get to work. Actors get to work. Singers get to work. We bring them all together, we get to do this thing and make things more interesting because we all grew up on

musicals and it's time for them to come back! Time to lend a little more to the industry and I think this is the way to start doing it."

CHICAGO GOES WEST

The razzle dazzle of the jazz age was recalled on the red carpet of Tinseltown on Tuesday at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zelwegger and Richard Gere were all on top form to promote their newest film - the Bob Fosse musical 'Chicago.'

The movie has been some 25-plus years in the making and each of these stars say the time is ripe for the nitty-gritty musical about love and hate and All that Jazz.

The film has already had it's world premiere in London - but the woman everyone was hoping to see was unable to make an appearance. Zeta-Jones is several months pregnant with her second child to husband Michael Douglas.

Douglas and Zeta-Jones arrived arm in arm but her husband quickly made his way into the theatre to allow the limelight to fall on his wife of two years.

Catherine made her stage debut in 42nd Street in London's West End and this is a role she has wanted to play for some time.

The 33-year-old mega star plays the role of Velma Kelley, a lauded nightclub singer who find herself on murderers' row when she kills her adulterous husband.

Despite some first day jitters - all her cast members agree that she will bring down the house.

Apparently - at one juncture - prior to filming there were plans to have Janet Jackson provide the actual voice for Zeta-Jones when they recorded the soundtrack - but she so wowed the director and producers - that the plans

were quickly scrapped and the film is 100 percent Catherine.

So, too, is Roxie Hart - played by Renee Zellwegger - a woman who's also killed her husband.

Zellwegger who famously plumped up for the title role in 'Bridget Jones's Diary' is a sleek and slim version of herself having danced and sung her way through several months of filming in Toronto.

Taking on the role of the requisite sleazy lawyer is Richard Gere.

He says besides the wonderful script - he was thrilled to teach his feet to tap dance.

The film is directed by newcomer Rob Marshall who is known in the theatre and film world not only for his finesse behind the camera - but for his choreography skills.

All the cast and crew are convinced this film will make him a star.

That remains to be seen - but it is certain he has star-pulling power.

Besides the stars who headline the film - Marshall also signed singers Mya and Queen Latifah as well as Lucy Liu and silver screen regular John C Reilly.

BRITNEY SPEARS' UPS AND DOWNS FOR 2002

2002 has been a tumultuous year for Britney Spears.

The news that she has been fired by drinks giant Pepsi was the final indignity which began with disappointing sales of her third album and poor reviews of her big-screen debut in 'Crossroads.'

Then a world tour turned into a public relations disaster.

In Mexico the press turned on her after she "flipped them the finger", fans chanted at her and she was booed.

It's not the first time the twenty-one-old singer has enraged both press and public recently. Her angelic image was initially tarnished when she was booed in London, England and Sydney, Australia.

While promoting her film 'Crossroads' in Australia in April, fans where outraged by how little time she spent with them.

Even that was a case of 'Oops (I Did It Again).' The pop princess had been booed just weeks earlier at the London premiere of 'Crossroads'.

The 20-year-old star enraged thousands of young fans who had waited for hours in the cold, by failing to go on a walkabout or sign autographs before the start of the movie.

So, could it be that the once pristine Britney is losing her once Midas touch with her fans?

Some in the British press have suggested that the sex kitten image she has adopted in the videos for 'I'm A Slave 4 U' and 'Overprotected' may be alienating her young fans, and hurting her album sales.

Whether or not her young followers are turned off by her erotic new look, she can certainly ill afford to upset her loyal fans base again.

Then there were problems with her Manhattan restaurant Nyla, which resulted in her breaking off her involvement at the beginning of December after just five months.

Finally, a well-publicized break-up with long-tem boyfriend Justin Timberlake, her parents' divorce, and a self-imposed six-month break from the business fueled rumours that Spears' once rock-solid career was beginning to crumble.

The treaty, backed by all Israelis except the extreme right wing, ended a 46-year-old state of war between Jordan and Israel. However, it was condemned by the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and Muslim militants on both sides of the border. The signing ended

Gaza Strip - Palestinian Police Shoot 13 Hamas

WTN

Gaza - 18 November 1994

Hamas, the radical Palestinian Muslim fundamentalist movement, pledged to retaliate against Yasser Arafat's Palestine National Authority after its followers were slain by Palestinian police in Gaza. Thirteen people were killed and about 200 wounded in Gaza City earlier in the day when Arafat's police opened fire on a crowd of Hamas Islamic militants after the demonstrators surrounded police headquarters, the central jail and other Palestinian government buildings, hurling stones and shouting insults. The violence was the most serious confrontation between Arafat's self-rule administration and fundamentalist hardliners opposed to the peace process with Israel. The self-rule government has administered Gaza, a Hamas bastion, and the West Bank town of Jericho since May. The confrontation raised questions about the future of the peace process with Israel. Tensions have been building between the PLO and Hamas as a result of a series of suicide bombings and shootings aimed at Israeli targets, including the Tel Aviv bus bombing on 19 October Oct. 19 that claimed 22 lives. Israel demanded that Arafat act to stop the bloodshed or Israel would freeze the expansion of autonomy into the rest of the West Bank. Arafat rounded up about 160 Islamic militants after a suicide bombing last week in which three soldiers were killed.

Witnesses said soldiers had pulled one body from the rubble of the house in Hebron and later demolished the remains with a bulldozer. The Israeli army acted on suspicion that wanted Muslim guerrillas were hiding in the premises. Hebron has been a hotbed of violence and is a Muslim militant stronghold.

Israel's Prime Minister, Shimon Peres, declared all-out war against the Palestinian militant group HAMAS, saying he would not rest until it had been completely destroyed.

Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, described the bombing as a "disaster" and announced the banning of armed radical groups in Gaza and the West Bank, including the armed wing of HAMAS, the Ezzedin al-Qassam. Amid scenes of anguish, Israelis started burying the victims of the bomb.

Israel tightened its "closure" of self-rule areas, sealing off the Palestinian Autonomy's coast line in a bid to prevent wanted Islamic Jihad and Hamas members from getting out of Gaza via the sea. The sea blockade even extended to preventing local Gaza fisherman from heading out to sea...another crippling blow to the ailing Palestinian economy.

Israel - Peres & Netanyahu Vote In Cliffhanger Poll

WTN

West Bank and Israel - 29 May 19996

Israelis went to the polls amid unprecedented security to choose a new prime minister and parliament in elections seen as a turning point for the Middle East peace process. Prime Minister Shimon Peres was among the early voters. He said he didn't see the election as a personal competition, or a confrontation between the parties, but instead a choice of future for the nation. Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, 46-year-old head of the nationalist Likud Party, voted with his wife Sarah in Jerusalem's Beit Hinour school. He and Peres were neck and neck going into the election. It's the first time Israelis have had the chance to directly elect their Prime Minister and more than 70% of Israel's 3.9 million voters turned out to do so.

Binyamin Netanyahu, at 46, is easily the youngest leader Israel has had -- indeed, he is the first who is younger than the Jewish nation itself. As thousands of celebrating supporters of his right wing Likud party surrounded its headquarters to anticipate and savour their victory with singing and dancing in the streets, Netanyahu himself was holding back from triumph until victory was statistically assured. The Central Election Commission said he was headed for about 50.3 percent of the vote, ousting Shimon Peres from the Premiership.

West Bank- Palestinians and Israeli Soldiers Engage in Gun Battle

Ramallah - 25 September 1996

Palestinians and Israeli soldiers engaged in gun battles near Ramallah as riots erupted in Jerusalem and the West Bank. Three Palestinians, including two policemen, were killed and at least 180 people were injured in the worst violence since the 1987-93 revolt against Israeli occupation. The violence was sparked by Israel's completion of an archaeological tunnel near Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque compound, one of the holiest sites of Islam. The firefight broke out near an Israeli army checkpoint south of Ramallah. Israeli troops had tried for hours to break up a protest by more than a thousand Palestinian stone throwers. The Palestinians were demonstrating against the opening of a tourist tunnel in Jerusalem. It runs along Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque compound - the third holiest site of Islam - and Palestinians claim the tunnel undermines their rights to the Muslim shrines.

At least 30 Palestinians and five Israelis were killed in clashes that within hours escalated from stone-throwing demonstrations into widespread shooting. Some 400 Palestinians and at least 19 Israelis were injured. Israeli helicopter gunships opened fire on Palestinian soldiers and civilians as riots across the West Bank and Gaza Strip turned into full-scale gun battles. At least 30 Palestinians and five Israelis were killed as the violence swept into virtually any town where Palestinians and Israelis coexist. Hundreds were wounded.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was holding a cabinet meeting after a number of hard-line ministers threatened not to back the deal. A petrol bomb attack by Palestinian youths in the Jewish sector of Hebron, and fighting in southern Lebanon between Israeli and Hezbollah forces, added to tension. Israeli settlers who have occupied two hill tops in the West Bank agreed to withdraw.

Israel and the Palestinians struck a landmark accord to extend Palestinian rule to the flashpoint city of Hebron, breaking a deadlock in the Middle East peace process since Israel's elections last May. Israel's cabinet, a coalition of right-wing and religious groups, met for more than six hours to study the accord, while dozens of angry Jewish settlers from the Palestinian territories protested outside the prime minister's office. The long-delayed Hebron agreement was sealed at a midnight summit at the Erez Crossing point between the Gaza Strip and Israel between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Israeli officials said the troop redeployment from Hebron would take place over the next five days, probably at the weekend.

Arafat was given a rapturous welcome by tens of thousands of Palestinians waving flags to greet their leader and mark the official expansion of self-rule to Hebron. But for the Jewish settlers Arafat's arrival and the Israeli withdrawal was seen as a betrayal.

After nine days of intensive negotiation with the Palestinians, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed a peace accord. But with just five of his 16 cabinet ministers in favour of the agreement, the question he now faces is whether he has still got a government. The right-wing factions in Netanyahu's coalition government are threatening to vote in favour of the early dissolution of the Knesset and the nomination of a right wing candidate to run against Netanyahu. Likud MK Moshe Arens says that, before implementing the agreement, Netanyahu still has a long way to go to convince his right-wing coalition of the merits of the peace deal.

With the S-L-A unable to hold its ground in the central area of the Israeli-occupied zone, Israel has been speeding up its withdrawal. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak says that troops could be out within 10 days, more than a month ahead of Israel's self-imposed July 7th deadline.

Meanwhile the head of Hezbollah has urged S-L-A militiamen to surrender and assured that they will be treated fairly. But he also warned Israel that the killing of six Lebanese civilians amid firing by Israelis and members of the S-L-A was "a very serious matter" He said his group was still deciding how to respond. These scenes are being repeated in areas across what had been, until recently, occupied territory. These people are celebrating the withdrawal of the Israeli army, and the collapse of its S-L-A ally.

In dark mourning suits or flowing Arab robes, world leaders and other dignitaries paid tribute at the flag-draped casket of Assad, who died Saturday at age 69, at the elaborate, white marble People's Palace, set on a Damascus hillside. But for ordinary Syrians, the loss of the only president many had ever known sparked a remarkable outpouring of grief that at times seemed staged, at other times almost unbearably heartfelt. They took to the streets of cities and villages, chanting praise for Assad and for Bashar, his son and heir apparent.

Palestinians accused Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon of igniting a "religious war" that erupted in the bloodiest fighting in four years. Tensions have been high at a Jerusalem holy side revered by both Jews and Muslims since Sharon visited there to show that Israel is in control. Palestinians threw stones at Israeli riot police, who fired back live rounds and rubber bullets. Four people were killed and about 175 people were hurt, including 44 Israeli police and 15 civilians. The Jerusalem shrine is known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as Haram as-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary. The violence began at the Al-Aqsa mosque when Palestinians worshippers began stoning Israeli police after attending Friday prayers.

On January 27, for the first time, a female suicide bomber struck. 28 year old Wafa Idris killed herself and an 81 year old Israeli man when she detonated the explosives she was carrying in a busy shopping street in Jerusalem. Her mother said Wafa had been shot three times by rubber bullets while working as a paramedic for the Red Crescent in Ramallah.

On June 18 there were devastating scenes when a suicide bomber killed himself and 19 civilians in a bomb attack on a bus in southern Jerusalem.

On March 27, in the Israeli resort of Netanya, a bomber blew himself up at a hotel, killing 28 Israelis celebrating Passover. The attack claimed by militant group Hamas, was the deadliest since the beginning of the uprising.

On March 9 at least 11 people were killed and 50 injured in a suicide bomb attack on a crowded cafe in west Jerusalem, near the official residence of then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

And on May 7 a suicide bomber attacked a social club in the Israeli town of Rishon Letzion, killing 16 people and injuring more than 50.

With no end in sight to the cycle of violence in the Middle East, the Israelis sought to consolidate their position and force the Palestinian administration to prevent more suicide attacks. On January 18, the Israelis sent more than 20 tanks to surround Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's headquarters in Ramallah. Overnight the pressure was turned up, when Israeli tanks and armoured personnel carriers sealed off Arafat's Ramallah headquarters and destroyed a Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation building. The siege came after Arafat had already been confined to Ramallah for several weeks by the Israeli authorities. Now he was confined to his office. On the 20th of February Israeli helicopters fired on Arafat's office for the first time, causing massive destruction.

Arafat was not released from his confinement until May. The Israeli Defence Force had destroyed all of Ramallah's infrastructure - and its bureaucracy, schools and security services. The Israelis would return to put Arafat under siege several times later in the year, although never for such an extended period.

Israeli forces also attacked Palestinian areas they said were breeding ground for suicide attackers. Operation Defensive Shield was the largest military operation in the West Bank since 1967, launched in response to the Passover suicide attack in Netanya, when 28 people were killed. Nablus and Jenin were the two places highest on the Israeli blacklist. In Nablus, the West Bank's largest city, Israeli forces battled with Palestinian gunmen. The fighting meant many of the injured, and those killed, could not be evacuated and human rights organisations complained of lack of access to parts of the city. Jenin camp too was out of bounds to human rights organisations while Israeli tanks moved in, destroyed homes and launched fierce fighting to rout out terrorists. Journalists were only able to enter the camp six weeks after the Israelis attacked. They found the once lively streets were silent and that many of the camp's people had fled during the fighting. Israel estimated 100 Palestinians were killed in the camp during eight days of the deadliest fighting. Palestinians said the toll was far higher and that many people were also starved, or cut off from their water supplies. Israel lost 23 soldiers in the Jenin operation. After the Israelis left, the Palestinians struggled to come to terms with the extent of the devastation. Hardly a building remained untouched and the streets were piled high with rubble.

After running battles with Israeli troops, about 200 Palestinian gunmen forced their way into the Church of the Nativity - believed to be the birthplace of Jesus Christ - in Bethlehem's Manger Square. Israeli tanks positioned themselves on the square and soldiers occupied buildings overlooking the church. Thus began the siege of Bethlehem that lasted five weeks. Those inside the church with the gunmen included human rights activists, journalists and members of the church's clergy.

During the siege, while intense negotiations took place, some of those holed up inside, and the bodies of those killed in gun battles with the Israelis, were able to leave. Israeli soldiers threw smoke bombs between those leaving and journalists, blocking the view.

A European-brokered deal ended the siege. As part of the deal, 13 of the group- those highest on Israel's wanted list- were deported, first to Cyprus and then to other European countries. Another 26 militiamen were transported to the Gaza Strip, where they were to remain, exiled from the West Bank.

Hope of progress in the Middle East peace process lay with the appointment of Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) as the first Palestinian Prime Minister. After pressure applied by both The United States and Israel, Palestinian President Yasser Arafat agreed to relinquish some of his power to create the new post. The appointment was seen as a pre-cursor to the U.S. unveiling its "road map" to peace, with the aim of establishing Palestinian statehood within three years. However, continued violence and Israeli strikes within the West Bank and Gaza on Hamas targets were a constant setback to progress.

U.S. special operations forces in Iraq captured Mohammed Abu Abbas, leader of a Palestinian group that killed an American on the hijacked cruise liner Achille Lauro in 1985. He was reported to have lived in Iraq for 17 years. Abbas' case had been mentioned in an October 2002 speech by President Bush, used as evidence of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's support for international terrorism. The Palestinian Authority immediately asked for the release of Abbas, saying his arrest violated a 1995 interim agreement between Israel and the Palestinians that said no PLO officials could be arrested for violent acts committed before the 1993 Israel-P.L.O. pact of mutual recognition.

In April, following a bitter stand-off, the Palestinian President Yasser Arafat and his prime-minister designate Mahmoud Abbas finally agreed on the formation of a new cabinet. Arafat had challenged several key appointments made by Abbas during the course of the power struggle. After officially accepting the position of Palestinian Prime Minister, one of Abbas' first acts was to formally accept a draft of the internationally backed peace plan, known as the "road map". The "road map" required an immediate ceasefire, a crackdown on Palestinian militants and Israel's withdrawal from Palestinian towns and the dismantling of Jewish settlements. But just a day after the plan was presented, its success was already under threat. Following a suicide bombing attack in Tel Aviv, Israel struck a Hamas stronghold in Gaza in a raid aimed at taking out Yousef Abu Hein, a leading Hamas bomb maker.

The "road map" peace plan faced opposition from within Israel. Jewish settlers, once allied to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, rallied against him as he met with both the Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas and the U.S. President George W. Bush in a summit in Jordan. The result: a pledge by Israel to dismantle illegal settlements in Palestinian areas, while the new Palestinian prime minister renounced all terrorism against Israel.

Setbacks to the progress of the peace plan were frequent. Israel continued with the construction of a barrier dividing Israel from areas of the West Bank. While Israel claimed it was merely a measure to protect them against suicide bombers, the Palestinians said it cut thousands of people off from their land and jobs and encroached into large sections of their territory. Despite the construction of the 250 kilometre long fence, the suicide bombings continued. At least 18 people were killed and over 40 injured when a bomb went off in packed bus full of Jewish worshippers returning from prayers at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. In response, Israel froze contact with the Palestinian authority and stopped the handover of two West Bank towns. They also launched a new wave of attacks on Hamas targets in both the West Bank and Gaza.

Following the resignation of Mahmoud Abbas as Palestinian Prime Minister, Ahmed Qureia emerged as the frontrunner to take over the position.

Israel maintained its pressure on the Palestinian authority, issuing threats to expel the Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. An Arab backed resolution at the United Nations demanding that Israel halt the threats was blocked by a U.S. veto in the security council vote - three other nations abstained: Britain, Germany and Bulgaria. In October, Israel launched an air strike against Syria, hitting what they claimed was a suspected Islamic Jihad training base outside Damascus. The attack on Syria led to an escalation of tensions along the border with Israel and Lebanon, where Syria was the main power-broker. In his first comments following the attack Sharon defended Israel's right to protect its citizens.

World News Review 2004 - Middle East: West Bank Barrier

APTN

Various Locations - 2004

In July, the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands ruled that a 685-kilometre long security barrier built by Israel along the length of West Bank was illegal. The court's decision was based on its finding that Israeli settlements in the Palestinian areas occupied by Israel in the 1967 war were a violation of the Geneva Convention, as was occupation of East Jerusalem. But Israel said the ruling would not change its policy on the barrier or the Palestinians. Israel claims the barrier is to protect Israeli citizens from attacks by Palestinian militants such as suicide bombers. The Palestinians, whose lives in some places have been severely disrupted by the complex of high concrete walls, razor-wire fences, trenches and watch towers, said it was like living in "a big prison." In its completed form the barrier is to stretch 730 kilometres, although there have been calls in Israel for the route to be changed to the 1967 border. The Palestinians say that the completed barrier will separate thousands of Palestinians and some 45-thousand Jewish settlers from the main Palestinian areas, by dipping deep into the West Bank. The fence cuts many people off from schools, medical clinics, jobs and agricultural land.

Israeli security forces made raids into the Rafah camp on the border with Egypt in the Gaza Strip to destroy houses and the ruins of a mosque, saying the buildings give cover to gunmen and weapons smugglers. Nine Palestinians were killed in January in fierce fighting with Israeli troops in Gaza City, after the army launched an operation near the Jewish settlement of Netzarim, in the heart of the teeming Gaza Strip. Palestinian militants fired anti-tank missiles and set off an explosive at the troops who fired back, the army said. In February, Israeli troops moved into a neighbourhood at the eastern edge of Gaza City, killing four Palestinians and wounding 13 others, residents said. Two of the dead were reported to be militants, including a Hamas leader.

In spite of the security efforts, Palestinian suicide bomb continued to get through to attack Israelis. In mid-January a woman blew herself at the main crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip at Erez, killing at least four Israelis and wounding seven other people. She was identified as Reem Raiyshi, aged 21, a Gaza woman described as a Hamas militant and the first female suicide-bomber from the Islamic militant group. Two weeks later a Palestinian man blew himself up on a bus in the downtown Rehevia district of Jerusalem, killing at least 10 bystanders and wounding about 30 in an attack outside Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's official residence. At the end of February, a Palestinian blew himself up on a crowded city bus during rush hour in downtown Jerusalem, killing seven people and wounding more than 60 people, 11 of them seriously. In March, Palestinians blew themselves up in Ashdod, a closely guarded Israeli port, killing 10 Israelis in the first deadly attack on a strategic Israeli installation in more than three years of Israeli-Palestinian fighting.

In August, Palestinian suicide bombers blew up two buses almost simultaneously in the main street of Beersheba in southern Israel, killing 16 people and wounding more than 80 others. The militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was revenge for the Israeli assassination of two of Hamas leaders in March. In response, Israeli forces closed off the West Bank city of Hebron and blew up the home of Ahmed Kawasmeh, one of the two Beersheba suicide bombers, and ransacked the house of the other bomber.

Israel used the Palestinian suicide-attacks on Ashdod to justify the assassination of the founder and spiritual leader of the Hamas group, Sheik Ahmed Yassin in Gaza City in late March. A rocket fired from an Israeli helicopter struck the wheelchair-bound Yassin as he left a mosque near his house at daybreak. Yassin was the most influential Palestinian militant leader to be killed by Israel and Hamas threatened bloody revenge. In a spontaneous outpouring of rage and grief, tens of thousands of Palestinians, led by hundreds of militant gunmen, poured into the streets of Gaza City after hearing of Yassin's death. Yassin had dodged previous Israeli attempts to kill him. His assassination provoked demonstrations across the Muslim world, including Baghdad, Turkey and Palestinian communities in Lebanon.

Yassin's deputy Abdel Aziz Rantisi succeeded the Hamas leadership and vowed there would be no let up in the Hamas campaign against Israel. But Rantisi was killed in late April when two Israeli rockets fired from a helicopter hit his car in the Sheik Radwan neighbourhood of Gaza City. Rantissi was rushed to the hospital and into emergency surgery, but he died five minutes after arriving. Two of his guards were also killed and five bystanders pedestrians were wounded. Hamas had claimed responsibility for most of the 112 suicide bombings that have killed 465 people on the Israeli side during three and a half years of violence. Hours before Rantisi was killed, a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up at the Erez industrial zone, killing an Israeli border policeman and injuring three other security workers. Thousands of supporters escorted the body of Rantisi down the streets of Gaza at his funeral.

In May, Israeli forces reportedly fired tank shells, helicopter missiles and machine-guns at a crowd of thousands of Palestinians demonstrating against an Israeli raid on the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza. Witnesses and medical workers said at least eight people were killed, two of them children, and 50 people were wounded. The Israelis had launched "Operation Rainbow" in the Rafah camp two days earlier, to hunt down militants and destroying arms-smuggling tunnels that run from Rafah beneath the nearby border. In September, Israeli forces pushed into the largest Palestinian refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, at Jebaliya near Gaza, after a rocket attack killed two young children in the Israeli border town of Sderot. Twenty-three Palestinians were killed in the attack and at least 108 wounded, the highest single-day Palestinian casualty count in 30 months.

In October, bombs exploded at two resorts in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula where Israelis were vacationing at the end of a Jewish holiday. At least 32 people were killed and more than 120 wounded in the blasts at the Taba Hilton, a luxury hotel just south of the Israeli border, and at the Ras Shitan camping area near the town of Nuweiba, 55 kilometres south of Taba. Most of the victims were Israelis. In Taba, a car laden with explosives drove into the lobby of the hotel and exploded, while a suicide-bomber blew himself up near the hotel swimming pool. The blast collapsed a 10-storey wing of the hotel. Two smaller car bombs exploded at Ras Shitan. Two previously unknown Islamic militant groups claimed to have carried out the attacks. Israel blamed al-Qaida, and Egyptian police arrested a number of Bedouin tribesmen on suspicion that they supplied the bombs. About 15-thousand Israelis had been spending the weeklong Jewish holiday of Sukkoth in the Sinai, despite Israeli government warnings of the risk of terrorist attacks on Israeli tourists in the area. The region was controlled by Israel from 1967 to 1989.

The ailing Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, left the West Bank on board a Jordanian military helicopter in late October, heading to a clinic near Paris in France for critical medical treatment. It was the first time that Israeli forces had allowed Arafat to leave his besieged headquarters in Ramallah for almost three years. The Palestinian president was said to be suffering from a serious but undisclosed illness. Under French law his wife, Suha Arafat, controlled access to her husband and declined to release details of Arafat's condition. Arafat's Palestinians deputies denied that he was dying and said that he would recover. But after two weeks, when Arafat was reported to have slipped into a coma, they abandoned their public optimism and began hurried preparations for his death.

Arafat died in intensive care at the Clamart clinic in the early hours of 11 November 2004. He had been a leader of the Palestinian struggle against Israel for four decades, and Palestinians were united in grief when they awoke to news of his death. Palestinian flags were lowered to half-mast at the compound in Ramallah where he had spent his final years. His body was flown from France to Egypt, where he had been born, and where was accorded a military funeral ceremony. A helicopter then flew his coffin to Ramallah in the West Bank, where he was buried in a grave outside his besieged headquarters. Tens of thousands of people swarmed around the helicopter that brought him to the Ramallah compound. As the coffin was carried toward the grave site, police jumped on top of it, waving their arms and flashing the victory sign. People chanted, "With our blood and our soul we will redeem you Yasser Arafat!" Palestinians consider the grave site in Ramallah a temporary one - a place for Arafat's body until they can honour his request to be buried at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Israel refused this request. Speaking at the graveside, Palestinian Cabinet Minister Saeb Erekat said: "My heart is broken because President Arafat is dead, and the Israeli occupation is not ".

Israel and the Palestinians

The Palestinians held their first presidential election in nine years on January, choosing a successor to longtime leader Yasser Arafat in a vote many across the world hoped would usher in a moderate leadership and revitalise the Middle East peace process. Mahmoud Abbas, the acting president and the candidate from of Arafat's ruling Fatah movement, was elected with 62.3 percent of the vote. The landslide vote was seen to give Abbas a clear mandate to resume peace talks with Israel , but he still faces t he tough task of reining in powerful armed extremist groups.

Abbas and the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon met face-to-face at a summit in Egypt in early February. The two leaders smiled broadly as they leaned across a long table to shake hands as they met for the first time. During the summit, Abbas and Sharon announced a ceasefire to end the last four years of violence between Israelis and Palestinians, and spoke of their hopes for a new era of peace talks.

Israel 's former President Ezer Weizman died in April, aged 80. A former combat pilot and military commander, Weizman had built up the nation's air force and helped bring about the Jewish state's first peace treaty with an Arab country. In nearly three decades in political life, Weizman had made a highly public transition from hawk to dove, saying the Jews had to learn to "share this part of the world" with the Arabs. As Defence Minister in 1979, he was instrumental in negotiating Israel 's peace treaty with Egypt . Weizman's casual style breathed life into the Israeli presidency, a largely ceremonial office, and endeared him to the Israeli public. His bluntness and sharp-tongued barbs often got him into trouble. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told a memorial service that the story of Weizman's was "the story of Israel ."

Prime Minister Sharon pushed ahead with his plan to disestablish 25 Jewish settlements in Gaza and the West Bank . But he faced bitter opposition from the settlers and their supporters. In July, opponents of the withdrawal plan gathered in the southern Israeli town of Netivot , for the first leg of a three-day protest march to Gaza , 25 kilometres (15 miles) away. But the police declared the march illegal and some 20-thousand police and soldiers were deployed at the scene to prevent them from going ahead. At the Kissufim Crossing between Gaza and Israel , troops started work on a barrier and wire fence to improve security at the crossing.

Elei Sinai Settlement, northern Gaza - 13 August 2005

UPSOUND (Hebrew) rabbi and settlement leader:

"We are not being expelled by a non-Jew. We are being taken out of here by Jews, and this is the pain. If a Gentile came and burned my house, if this Gentile shot a bullet in me, it wouldn't hurt me as much."

When the grace period was over, Israeli troops moved in to issue eviction notices to the remaining settlers. Defiant and tearful settlers locked the gates to their communities, formed human chains and burned tires to block troops from entering. In Gaza 's largest settlement, Neve Dekalim, residents blocked the main road, stopping army vehicles and scuffling with soldiers. Later they burnt the eviction notices. Police and soldiers waited in the sweltering sun and avoided confrontation at the behest of their commanders. In one scene, a sobbing settler pleaded with a brigadier general not to evict him before the two men embraced. In other communities, residents, many wearing orange -- their protest colour -- tearfully implored soldiers not to carry out their orders.

But the withdrawal went on regardless, and the troops dragged hundreds settlers from homes and synagogues and hauled them onto buses to new homes in the following days. In the West Bank , an Israeli settler was arrested for killing three Palestinians and wounding two others in a shooting spree that aroused fears of Palestinian retaliation and the disruption of the evacuation mission which had gone largely without serious violence. In Gaza , unarmed soldiers carried away worshippers still wrapped in their white prayer shawls, while wailing men ripped their shirts in a Jewish mourning ritual. One 54-year-old woman from the West Bank set herself on fire at a police roadblock in southern Israel to protest the Gaza pullout, suffering life-threatening burns on 70 percent of her body. In Morag, soldiers encountered cement blocks and burning garbage containers when they entered the settlement early on Wednesday, and briefly clashed with residents. But as the day dragged on, the protesters gradually surrendered and let themselves be carried away to buses.

In January, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a massive, life-threatening stroke. Some Israelis came to the Jerusalem Western Wall to pray for his health. Doctors placed Sharon on a respirator and were trying to save his life just hours before the overweight, 77-year-old was scheduled to undergo a procedure to seal a hole in his heart that contributed to a mild stroke on December 18.

Israel Radio quoted an unnamed Israeli health official as saying Sharon 's prospects of a full recovery from the 4 January stroke were slim. Sharon underwent emergency surgery after a brain scan revealed a rise in intracranial pressure and some bleeding in his brain.

Sharon 's health crisis comes at a time of upheaval among Palestinian factions in Gaza and in the midst of both Israeli and Palestinian election campaigns.

Three weeks earlier, as 2005 drew to a close, Israel denied a British newspaper report that it had plans to attack Iran in March 2006, though officials conceded that they would not rule out a military strike if Iran advanced its efforts to develop nuclear weapons.

London 's Sunday Times that said Israel has a plan for a combined air and ground attack on targets in Iran if diplomacy fails to stop the Iranian nuclear programme. Sharon 's inner Cabinet authorised the attack, the newspaper said. Vice Premier Ehud Olmert, a close confidant of Sharon , called the report "ridiculous."

Olmert became prime minister after Sharon suffered his stroke.

Israel has identified Iran as the greatest threat to the Jewish state and rejects Iran 's claims that its nuclear programme is solely for peaceful purposes.

The Islamic militant group Hamas has won a huge majority in parliamentary elections in January, winning 76 seats in the 132-member parliament, as Palestinian voters rejected the long-time rule of the ailing Fatah Party. Hamas' sweeping victory dramatically shook up the political landscape of the Middle East, propelling the Islamic militant group, which has sustained a bloody military campaign against Israel, and in turn had its last two leaders and countless other activists assassinated by the Jewish state, into government.

The Hamas victory reflected popular discontent with Fatah, the secular party that has led the Palestinian Authority since its creation 12 years ago and has been accused of widespread corruption and mismanagement.

In response, Israel halted crucial monthly payments to the Palestinian Authority, though it did not immediately block millions of dollars in humanitarian aid that moves through Israeli banks. In Gaza , Hamas' prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh, accused Israel of inflicting ongoing collective punishment on the Palestinian people.

Commenting on the halt in Israeli funds, Mahmoud Zahar, a senior Hamas leader from Gaza who has been nominated as the movement's parliamentary faction leader, said the group would not allow Israel to "strangulate or starve" the Palestinian people.

There are three and a half (m) million Palestinians living in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem .

In April, a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up near a fast food restaurant in a bustling commercial area of Tel Aviv during the Jewish holiday of Passover, killing six people and wounding at least 35 others. A security guard posted outside the restaurant, which had been the target of a previous suicide bombing last January, prevented the bomber from entering the building, police said.

It was the first suicide bombing in Israel since the Hamas militant group recently took over the Palestinian government. Hamas and other militant groups have been observing a cease-fire with Israel for more than a year, though the new Hamas-led Palestinian leadership has refused to condemn attacks against Israelis.

The bomber struck the same restaurant, "The Mayor's Felafel," that was hit by an attacker on January 19. In that attack, 20 people were wounded.

Later that day, police stopped a car with three suspected Palestinian accomplices the West Bank . They were filmed handcuffed and stripped down to their underpants in the Ofer camp on the West Bank side of the pre-1967 border, which is presently part of municipal Jerusalem .

The Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the bombing. In a phone call to the Associated Press, the group identified the bomber as Sami Salim Mohammed Hammad and later they released a video showing the purported suicide bomber reading a statement.

In response to the bombing, Israeli aircraft attacked an empty metal workshop in Gaza City , causing no injuries. The army said the workshop was used by the Popular Resistance Committees militant group to manufacture homemade rockets to launch at Israel .

A month later, Hamas gunmen traded heavy fire with Palestinian police near the parliament building in Gaza City , killing the driver of Jordan 's ambassador in Gaza . The diplomat's car was hit by three bullets fired into the windshield. The ambassador was not in the vehicle when it came under fire. The Hamas gunmen, holed up in an abandoned building during the battle, fired a rocket-propelled grenade and threw two hand grenades at the police, witnesses said.

Security officials said the incident began when members of a new Hamas militia stopped a car carrying members of the Preventive Security Service, a branch loyal to moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Preventive Security officials said Hamas militiamen fired at the car.

Also in May, the funeral of assassinated Hamas security chief Abu Samhadana took place as hundreds of gunmen escorted his body from the morgue in Gaza to his house for a leave taking ceremony. No mosque could accommodate the tens of thousands expected to attend the funeral prayer in the Rafah refugee camp where Samhadana had lived, so a makeshift mosque was set up at the local stadium.

Palestinian militants vowed to avenge Israel 's assassination of Samhadana, an attack that threatened to ignite large-scale violence between the two sides. Hours after his death, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip fired two rockets into Israel , hitting a building in the southern town of Sderot , but causing no casualties, the military said.

Samhadana's appointment as Hamas' top enforcer helped to set the stage for recent Palestinian infighting that has killed 16 people and raised the spectre of all-out conflict between Hamas and the long-ruling Fatah movement it swept aside in January parliamentary elections.

In June, thousands of Palestinians joined the funeral procession of seven civilians killed when an Israeli artillery attack tore into a beachside picnic in Gaza . The mourners at the funeral procession in Beit Lahiya chanted "revenge, revenge" and "destroy Israel , destroy America " as they made their way through the town's narrow streets, carrying the victims' bodies.

The Israeli army said it had targeted areas in the northern Gaza Strip used by Palestinian militants to fire homemade rockets at Israel , but said that one artillery strike appeared to go off course. The beach attack prompted the military wing of the Islamic group Hamas to call off a 16-month-old truce with Israel .

In a separate incident, hundreds of Palestinian security forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas went on a violent rampage against the Hamas-led government. They riddled the parliament and Cabinet buildings with bullets before setting them alight to protest an attack against their comrades in the Gaza Strip by Hamas gunmen, who had attacked a Preventive Security installation. The attack set off daylong clashes that left two people dead and 14 wounded.

The security men stormed the two-building Cabinet complex, where they smashed furniture, water coolers and air conditioners, destroyed computers and scattered documents. No casualties were reported.

When a fire engine approached the scene, one gunman lay on the road in front of it, preventing it from reaching the building. The Cabinet fire was eventually extinguished, but the crowd then set the second floor of the parliament building on fire.

In Northern Gaza, Israeli aircraft fired missiles at a car in the crowded Jebaliya refugee camp, killing a teenage girl and two young children and wounding eight people. The Israeli military reported the car was carrying militants from the Al Aqsa martyrs' Brigades, affiliated with the Fatah movement of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.

It was at least the second Israeli military action against militants in recent weeks to claim civilian victims.

An air strike in early June killed eight civilians, in addition to the two militants it targeted. About 100-thousand Palestinians live in the Jebaliya camp, just north of Gaza City , making it the largest refugee camp in Gaza . Funerals were held the following day.

Israeli troops entered southern Gaza and planes attacked three bridges and a power station, knocking out electricity in most of the coastal strip, stepping up the pressure on Palestinian militants holding a 19-year-old Israeli soldier captive.

Israeli troops began taking up positions in two locations east of the Gaza town of Rafah under the cover of tank shells, according to witnesses and Palestinian security officials. Palestinians dug in behind walls and sand embankments, bracing for a major Israeli offensive.

Israel said only freedom for the captive soldier, Corporal Gilad Shalit, could defuse the crisis, not a political agreement.

Shalit was captured on 25 June 2006 in an attack on an army base in southern Israel by militants affiliated with the Palestinians' ruling Hamas party. The Palestinian government has called for the soldier's release, but Israel thinks the group's Syria-based leaders ordered the operation.

Palestinian groups say the attack and subsequent capture of Shalit was a response to several Israeli airstrikes that killed a number of their civilians.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army bombed a house in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, described by locals as a factory used by Palestinian militants to make and store rockets for use against Israel . According to eyewitnesses at the scene, an unmanned aerial vehicle fired a guided missile into a building.

The building is just a few kilometres (miles) from where an Israeli armoured column has pushed into Gaza and taken up positions at an abandoned airport, to try and force the release of Shalit. At Nahaloz, on the Israeli side of the border with Gaza , Israeli tanks were seen firing shells. Major General Yoav Galant, a commander in the Israeli Defence Force (IDF), said Israeli forces were "activating" in a few places in the Gaza Strip in an effort to secure the release of the soldier.

The ground offensive was Israel 's first since pulling all of its soldiers and settlers out of Gaza over the summer (2005).

Israeli forces arrested Palestinian deputy Prime Minister Nasser Shaer as part of their operation find Shalit. Shaer had criticised Israel 's operations: "There is a real disaster in Gaza now." The arrest of the seven Hamas cabinet ministers and 20 lawmakers is seen by some observers as an Israeli attempt to use them as bargaining chips to win the release of the soldier.

Israeli tanks in Nahal Oz, South Israel, launched artillery attacks on Gaza , partially destroying the office of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas.

Meanwhile, Israeli troops raided a Palestinian hospital in the West Bank city of Nablus , looking for a wanted man wounded in an earlier operation. The soldiers shot stun grenades and tear gas as they stormed the hospital, and once inside, put the doctors and nurses on one floor, they said. The target of the Israeli operation was a Palestinian wounded in an Israeli raid on the nearby Balata refugee camp in mid June, but it was not clear if he was in the hospital at the time. In Gaza , Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned overnight Israeli air-strikes, after a meeting with the UN special envoy to the Middle East .

As the search for a captured Israeli soldier continued, Israeli aircraft hit several targets around the Gaza Strip, including a building in Gaza City where the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades has an office, Palestinians and the military said. The Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades are a violent offshoot of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement.

A missile struck the second floor of the two-story building, setting it on fire. No one was in the office at the time of the attack, after midnight. The strikes by the Israeli military followed a earlier warning from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that he instructed the army to do all it could to free the captured soldier, Corporal Gilad Shalit.

As part of the operation to free Shalit, Israeli forces launched three attacks near Khan Younis in southern Gaza , killing two people and wounding several others. In one attack, an Israeli aircraft attacked a group of Palestinian militants, killing two people who were later identified as members of armed Palestinian groups.

The army confirmed it had carried out an airstrike in Khan Younis after Israeli forces were attacked with seven anti-tank missiles and a rocket. Palestinians were also injured in two other purported attacks near Khan Younis, though no further information was currently available about the incidents. The attacks come as Israel expanded its operation in Gaza . Officials decided to step up the offensive, after Palestinian militants from the ruling Hamas party fired two upgraded rockets into the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon .

In October, frustrations boiled over in Gaza City as militiamen from the ruling Hamas party used guns and clubs to break up police protests over unpaid government salaries. Since Hamas won elections in January, Israel and the West have withheld tax payments and foreign aid in an effort to force Hamas to recognise and stop attacking Israel .

Two people were killed, including a 15-year-old boy, and at least 32 were wounded, including three schoolchildren and a TV cameraman for the Arab satellite TV station Al-Arabiya. After the crowd of protesters there swelled to include hundreds of police and civilians, Hamas militiamen rush in swinging clubs and firing in the air. Militiamen and security personnel - including members of Abbas' elite bodyguard unit - began trading fire on two of the main streets of Gaza City near parliament, and gunmen from both sides took positions on rooftops near the legislature.

In retaliation dozens of supporters from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party ransacked and torched the empty Council of Ministers building in the West Bank city of Ramallah , the seat of the Palestinian government.

Some of the militants set an office on the second floor on fire, and soon the entire floor was engulfed in flames. The militants threw files out the windows and witnesses could see pieces of furniture being thrown about.

HEADLINE: Jay-Z, Carmen Electra Show Off the Latest Rides

----------------------------------------

CAPTION: The 2007 North American International Auto Show enjoyed a celebrity kickoff as Jay-Z, Carmen Electra and Mario Lopez took to the catwalk. (Jan. 9)

----------------------------------------

[Notes:Various: GM Style Event : GM ]

With fashion and the need to be seen such a huge part of the celebrity lifestyle, it's only natural that the automobile be seen as a fashion accessory.

That's the idea behind GM Style. Part fashion show, part auto show -- it teams up celebrities with the hottest new rides.

Hip hop star Jay-Z helped unveil a new color for the GMC Denali: Jay-Z Blue.

[Notes:SOT Jay-Z]

"IT'S BEEN, I WANT TO SAY A YEAR AND A HALF, MAYBE TWO YEARS IN THE MAKING," JAY-Z SAYS. "EVEN GOING THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS AND REGISTERING WITH PANTONE AND THE WHOLE THING. IT IS A REAL THING. IT HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW."

Mario Lopez - the host of this year's Miss America pageant -- was escorted on the runway by Chevrolet's concept race car, the WTCC.

[Notes:SOT: Mario Lopez]

"DRIVING ANY OF THESE CARS YOU CAN'T BEAT.I AM A BIG CAR BUFF BEING A GUY SO SEEING ALL OF THESE CARS AND GETTING THE VIP TOURS OF ALL OF THEM IT'S PRETTY COOL."

Carmen Electra's date for the show was the new Camaro concept car.

[Notes:SOT Carmen Electra]

"ENTERTAINMENT MERGING WITH AUTOMOBILES, MUSIC, FASHION. IT IS REALLY COOL," ELECTRA SAID. "I THINK THAT IS WHAT THE FUTURE IS ALL ABOUT MERGING ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT WORLDS TOGETHER."

Nick Lachey (La-SHAY) says that while cars are important for getting you from point a to point b, they also serve a more personal purpose.

[Notes:SOT NICK LACHEY:]

IF YOU CAN INCORPORATE SOMETHING THAT EXPRESSES YOU AND YOUR PERSONALITY THAT IS THE ADDED BONUS. EVERYONE WANTS TO HAVE A CAR THAT MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD AND REFLECTS SOMETHING ABOUT THEM."

The event was held on the eve of the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
