Who wants to buy Sharon Tate’s jewelry?

An auction house offers a piece of notorious Manson murder history -- but why would someone want it?

It’s an oval opal ring, surrounded by garnets. Four stones appear to be missing. Its estimated value is somewhere between $25,000 and $50,000. And next week, is going up for auction with Gotta Have Rock and Roll with the opening bid of $10,000.

What is it that makes this particular piece of jewelry so potentially valuable? Is it the elegance of the piece? Is it the fact that it was purchased by an internationally renowned, Oscar-winning director? Or is it because the ring was allegedly worn by his pretty, pregnant wife the night she was savagely murdered by the Manson family?

Kelly Ripa: I Look Like Peter Pan When I Work Out

Kelly Ripa may be a fitness fanatic, but she swears she's not looking pretty as she works out.

"You've never seen me work out. I look like Peter Pan," she said. "The makeup comes off, the hair goes into a bun and the padded bra comes off, and Peter Pan is floating next to you on a bike. I bet you I could spin next to you and you would not know it was me."

"Twilight” actress Kristen Stewart has apologized for making a series of “stupid” and “insensitive” comments about rape – admitting she “made an enormous mistake.”

The 20-year-old actress sparked a storm of controversy with her remarks in a recent interview with Britain’s Elle magazine, in which she likened the media intrusion in her life to sexual assault. She told the magazine, “I feel like I’m looking at someone being raped. A lot of the time I can’t handle it. I never expected that this would be my life.”

Her comments infuriated bosses at charity campaigners and rape victims support organizations, who accused the young star of belittling violence against women. And now Stewart has been forced to apologize, calling her behavior “stupid.”

She tells People, “I really made an enormous mistake – clearly and obviously. And I’m really sorry about my choice of words. I’ve made stupid remarks before, and I’ve always reasoned: ‘Whatever. They can think what they want.’ People thinking that I’m insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake.” (Starpulse.com)

Dannii Minogue's appearances on the X Factor have become a weekly fashion show, with her every outfit analysed by her fans.

But when she's off-duty, it seems the 38-year-old has a much more casual approach to fashion.

Back home in Australia for an extended Christmas break, Dannii wore a white vest and baseball cap

Gone were the high-maintenance hairdos and thick make-up, replaced by a relaxed style.

The star is showing toyboy boyfriend Kris Smith, 31, the sights.
The pair enjoyed lunch with her parents at the house of a family friend, before heading out for dinner at a local pub.

Before her break, Dannii told Heat magazine: 'This year has been full of happiness in so many ways.

'First of all my lovely man, Kris. He's been my rock and has given my life so much joy. Family is all well, and work is fun again.'
But it is not yet known if Dannii will reprise her role as a judge on the X Factor.

The former singer is still to be formally approached by Simon Cowell over her contract.

Dannii admitted her upset at being constantly moved to the end of the judging panel on the live shows and swapping seats with Louis Walsh.

She told Heat magazine: ‘I still have no idea why I was told to change seats. I was told four different reasons by four different people, who all said it was the other person's decision.’

She added: ‘I like watching people play "pass the buck". I actually thought I might be judging from the side of the stage at one point.’

Should Taylor Swift Accept Kanye West's Apology?

Last night's MTV Video Music Awards show was defined by one overriding storyline: the sudden emergence of a feud between rap superstar Kanye West and country darling Taylor Swift. While Swift was attempting to thank people after winning the Moonman for Best Female Video, West rushed the stage to steal the microphone, shout out Beyoncé's video and generally make a nuisance of himself. He became the evening's villain, made Swift into a bewildered underdog and also set up Beyoncé as a hero who swooped in at the end of the show to save the day. West later apologized to Swift via his blog, but the damage has been done. The question is now: Will Swift forgive West for crashing her party?

We wanted to find out, so we hit the streets of New York to ask a select group of people whether or not Swift should accept Kanye's apology. Do you think she should turn the other cheek or should she hold a grudge against the rapper who dropped in uninvited on her big VMA moment?
