We covered on Tuesday the horrific Oprah chimp victim story that has made international headlines, and not finally for those who missed it, the video of the segment has appeared online.

For those who missed the story, Charla Nash went to help a friend retrieve a set of keys from a chimpanzee who didn’t appreciate the attention. The chimpanzee named Travis ripped off Nash’s eyes, lips, nose, various parts of her scalp and parts of her jawbone.

Nash tells Oprah the pain she has suffered, and shows her face on television, to which I’ll repeat what I said Tuesday: holy mother of god.

A both inspiring and horrifying story at the same time. The Oprah chimp victim video as follows:

Miami, FL (CNS) – Owl City’s “Fireflies” jumps back into the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, showing that the electronic synth-pop hit was no fluke when it hit #1 for a week last month.

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys move back into their peak position of #2 this week with “Empire State of Mind,” from Jay-Z’s “Blueprint 3″ album. Last week’s #1 from Jason DeRulo, the Imogen Heap-sampling “Whatcha Say,” moves down to #3 this week.

Moving up to #4 this week from #12 is newcomer Iyaz with “Replay,” who earns a new peak position. Down one spot to #5 is the former #1 from Jay Sean, “Down,” which features Lil Wayne. Also down one this week are Miley Cyrus at #6 with “Party in the U.S.A.” and Lady GaGa at #7 with “Paparazzi.”

Britney Spears stays put at #8 with “3,” from her “Singles Collection” released this week. Meanwhile, Rihanna jumps all the way from #75 to #9 this week with “Russian Roulette,” the first single from her upcoming album, “Rated R.”

Closing out the list this week is Beyonce, who moves back into the top 10 with “Sweet Dreams” at #10.

Santa Monica, CA (CNS) – Lady Gaga has announced that her upcoming re-released album “The Fame Monster” will come out in three different versions: standard, deluxe, and the collector’s edition super-deluxe art book.

The standard version will feature the 8 new songs, including the recently released “Bad Romance,” while the deluxe version will include both the 8 tracks plus the songs from her debut album “The Fame.”

The collector’s edition super-deluxe art book version will be a delight to her die-hard fans. It will include both albums, fanzines, 3-D glasses, paper dolls, a puzzle, pictorials, and a lock of her hair along with other surprises.

The 23-year-old “Paparazzi” hitmaker said, “In the midst of my creative journey composing The Fame Monster, there came an exciting revelation that this was in fact my sophomore album. I would not add, nor take away any songs from this EP; it is a complete conceptual and musical body of work that can stand on its own two feet. It doesn’t need The Fame.”

“I will release four or more singles from The Fame Monster, tour the world with The Monster Ball Tour, and most importantly I insist on honoring my fans with an affordable new album, an album that is as loyal to them, as they have been to me.”

The standard and deluxe editions will be released November 23, while the collector’s edition will be out on December 15.

A fake version of the Carrie Prejean sextape video is infecting PC’s as malware distributors cash in on public interest in viewing the video.

Interest in obtaining the Carrie Prejean sextape has been high online since word broke last week that it existed, with more interest added since Prejean decided to hit the TV circuit to discuss her fall from grace.

The fake Carrie Prejean sextape video has appeared on Usenet and some BitTorrent trackers, and according to infected users installs a variety of malware and trojans that among other things hijacks control of the PC’s they have been installed on.

At the time of writing the Carrie Prejean sextape hasn’t made its way online, and given the settlement between Prejean and the Miss USA California organizers, it probably never will. In the event though that it does make its way online, stay well away: the video was shot when Prejean was 17, making the video child pornography and illegal to view.

The crazy intern that stalked Steve Phillips, Brooke Hundley, tearfully defended her actions and showed an alarming level of denial in a Good Morning America interview.

Hundley denied stalking Phillips, a claim easily refuted by reading her scary letter to Marni Phillips or listening to the 911 call reporting her erratic visit wherein she crashed into a pole at the Phillips’ home. Saying she hoped Phillips would “grow up,” Hundley defends her actions, describing the relationship as abusive and her motives in terrorizing the Phillips family as rooted in a desire to save other women from similar upset and distress.

Despite being the driving force behind this story’s prominence in the media, Hundley feels she bears little responsibility in the drama that eventually cost herself and Phillips their jobs and provided endless gossip fodder for the media:

“I didn’t in any time working at ESPN follow anybody around, wanting any sort of relationship with anybody. I didn’t harass anyone. I didn’t want anything from anyone.”

Russell Brand and Katy Perry have recorded a duet.

The British comedian and his US pop star girlfriend were reportedly “messing around” in a Los Angeles studio where they recorded a version of Edward Lear’s 1871 poem ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “Russell was just messing around in the studio with Katy.

“He was pretending to sing into the microphone and started reciting the poem, ‘The Owl And The Pussycat’, with the lines, ‘Oh lovely Pussy! Oh Pussy my love, what a beautiful Pussy you are’.”

The poem is said to be a private joke between the pair, after Russell, 34, recited it to ‘I Kissed A Girl’ singer Katy, 25, when they holidayed together in Thailand.

The source added, “They often use the nicknames Owl and Pussycat. Russell is ‘Owl’ because he’s wise and, well, it’s fairly obvious that Katy’s a sex kitten, isn’t it?

“He has an amazing delivery. Katy blushed at the line, ‘O let us be married, too long have we tarried’ then joined in, singing a refrain to Russell’s speech.

“That’s when it dawned on everyone. It was actually really good. With work, it could be a really interesting track, evocative of The Goons or Monty Python. They were very harmonious. Everyone was transfixed.”

Russell has previously sung in the film ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ in which he played rock star character Aldous Snow. A follow-up film in which he will reprise the role, ‘Get Him To The Greek,’ in which Katy makes a cameo appearance, is set for release in summer next year.

Justin Timberlake is too good looking for Leona Lewis.

The ‘Bleeding Love’ singer enlisted the help of the ‘SexyBack’ star to work on material for her new album ‘Echo’ and says she was initially worried about working with Justin in case she was blinded by his good looks.

She said, “He is a beautiful boy and I was a bit worried about whether it would cloud my judgment over whether the song was good or not. But as soon as I met him that was over.”

Leona, 24, who shot to fame after winning British TV talent show ‘The X Factor,’ said that, even though Justin, 28, had been in the business for much longer, they were similar people.

She said, “He is so cool, such a nice guy, and I think we have a lot in common as we are both quite focused people.”

As well as single ‘Don’t Let Me Down’, the British beauty also revealed the pair worked on another song, but they can’t decide who will get to perform it.

Leona added to Britain’s Daily Star newspaper, “We only had a few days together but we wrote another song that didn’t get finished.

She said, “He was like, ‘If you don’t take it I’m having it for my album.’ And I was like, ‘No you’re not, it’s mine.’ ”

Nicolas Cage was stalked by a mime artist.

The ‘Bangkok Dangerous’ actor joked about his ordeal at the hands of a “silent but maybe deadly” performer but admitted he found the white-faced stranger “unsettling”.

Nicolas, 45, said, “I guess it would fall into the stalker category more or less.

“I was being stalked by a mime—silent, but maybe deadly. Somehow, this mime would appear on the set of ‘Bringing Out the Dead’ and start doing strange things.

“I have no idea how it got past security. Finally, the producers took some action and I haven’t seen the mime since. But it was definitely unsettling.”

A mime artist performs wordlessly, expressing stories through bodily movement alone, and traditionally paints their face white.

Meanwhile the actor, who is presently facing financial difficulties after being handed an unpaid tax bill of $6 million, has also told of the challenge he faced in portraying a drug-addicted corrupt policeman in ‘Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans’.

He told Parade magazine, “I was trying to find a way to play a guy who was high on crack and other illegal substances and at the same time be responsible and not glamorize the drugs or drug-taking but show the hideous effects.

“I wasn’t exactly sure I could do it, especially being totally sober, which I was. Different kinds of drugs produce different kinds of behaviors, like coke makes you hyper and heroin kind of zombies you out.

“So you have to keep it all straight. I did speak with some people that were recovering drug addicts, but I was trying to make it more of an impressionistic kind of performance. And I was going back 25 years in my own life and trying to recall what it was like.”

Halle Berry used to be attracted to abusive men.

The Oscar-winning beauty regularly witnessed her father attack her mother when she was growing up and says it affected her choice in partners.

She said, “My mother was a battered woman and that was my childhood for a good chunk of it.

“Early on in my life, I made choices, and I chose men that were abusive because that was what I knew growing up.”

However, she underwent therapy and learned what to do if and when a relationship became violent.

The 43-year-old actress has now found happiness with model Gabriel Aubry, the father of her 19-month-old daughter Nahla.

She is also using her experiences to help others who have suffered domestic abuse and works closely with the Jenesse Center, a Los Angeles-based shelter which provides support for victims.

Halle, who was honored by the centre four years ago for her humanitarian work said, “I care, I really care about these women and children.”
