Barack Obama: No E-Mail Relationship with ScarJo

Is it all in Scarlett Johansson's head?

An ardent Barack Obama supporter, Scarlett recently proclaimed to regularly trading e-mails with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, but the Senator himself says there's no continuous e-mail relationship of any sort.

"She sent one email to [my assistant] Reggie [Love], who forwarded it to me," he said, adding that the star doesn't have his personal e-mail address. "I write saying, 'thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,' and suddenly we have this email relationship."

The 23-year-old actress, whose twin brother Hunter works on the Obama campaign, told Politico earlier this month:

"You'd imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly 'on' - how can he return these personal emails? But he does, and in his off-time I know he also calls people who have donated the minimum to thank them."

ScarJo has been campaigning relentlessly on the Illinois senator's behalf, even declaring earlier this year -- prior to her real engagement to Ryan Reynolds -- that �I am engaged to Barack Obama. My heart belongs to Barack.�

Beatles' friend Neil Aspinall dies

Neil Aspinall, friend and former road manager of The Beatles, has died in New York following a battle with lung cancer. He was 66.
Aspinall, who was sometimes referred to as the fifth member of The Beatles, also headed Apple Corps Ltd (which was formed to cover The Beatles' financial and business affairs) for many years.
Aspinall, who went to school with Paul McCartney and George Harrison, became road manager and personal assistant to the group in their early days.
A statement released by Aspinall's family, on behalf of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison, said: "All his friends and loved ones will greatly miss him, but will always retain the fondest memories of a great man."
In a separate statement, Starr added: "I've known Neil many years and he was a good friend. We were blessed to have him in our lives and he will be missed."
A family spokesperson said that Aspinall died at the Sloan-Kettering hospital in New York City on Sunday night. He became ill with lung cancer two months ago.
Aspinall is survived by his wife Suzy and five children.

Organisers, bookies pray for Winehouse's gig

London (ANI): Organisers are putting all their hopes on Amy Winehouse, as it is she who can make or break their multi-million pound US tour by pulling off an impressive comeback gig. The Rehab star is known for her habit of backing out of concerts at the last minute and blotching it up with a not so good performance, if in case she actually turns up for the show. And now, record bosses are keeping their fingers crossed hoping not to get the same scene at Rock In Rio in Lisbon, Portugal. And if that happens, they will scrap the shows in the United States. Thus, the executives have roped in a relaxation therapist - WTF - masseuse and nutritionist, so that the 24-year-old star doesn't disappoint them.
