We a href=”http://perezhilton.com/2008-10-06-former-australian-idol-in-fatal-fall-from-hotel-balcony” target=”_blank”>mentioned Monday that Australian Idol alum Levi Kereama died over the weekend after falling 20 stories from a hotel room balcony. Officials classified the death a suicide.

Levi was in a band called Lethbridge and his family used the band’s MySpace page to make a statement and refute the suicide claims:

“Investigations have revealed the tragic loss of Levi was an accident. Our beloved former Australian Idol contestant Levi Kereama did not leap to his death, as reported. Furthermore we would clearly like to clarify, Levi was NOT suffering depression. He was a happy, outgoing, lively and loving friend, brother, son, uncle and cousin. He loved being with friends, fulfilling his passion of music, and making people laugh. He is remembered as a happy spirit who enjoyed life.”

Our thoughts go out to his family during this tough time of finding closure.

And remember y’all, if you are having a tough time, suicide is never, ever the answer.

There’s mayjah drama going down behind the scenes of the UK’s X Factor.

The other guy judge, Louis Walsh, claims pop tart Dannii Minogue will be axed from the show and replaced by ex-X Factor judge (and Dannii’s formal rival) Sharon Osbourne.

As y’all know, Sharon reportedly left the show because they weren’t going to pay her what she needed and she didn’t like the special treatment Dannii was getting as Simon Cowell’s pet judge.

According to the Daily Mail in the UK, Louis exact words were, “Obviously Dannii would be the one to go – having Sharon and Cheryl Cole on the
show together is too good an opportunity to miss.”

As we’ve mentioned before, show insiders state Dannii hasn’t dealt well with Sharon’s replacement, the smoking hot Girls Aloud member Cheryl.

Dannii has reportedly been upset with show producers because she claims Cheryl has been getting more air time and more flattering camera angles than her.

Isn’t it ironic that Dannii is getting a tiny taste of the medicine Sharon had to swallow?!

Louis, are you just stirring the pot?!

Let’s see if this really happens.

To top it all off, Louis had this to state about head judge and X-Factor boss, Simon:
“He has all that money and no style. He spends hours and hours locked away in make-up getting sprayed and having all sorts done. He’s in there longer than the girls. He is the vainest person I’ve ever met in my entire life. He always has to have something new done for the start of the live shows. Last year he got new teeth and we all know he likes a bit of Botox. But this year I think he might go a bit more drastic and turn up with a new chin or nose. It really wouldn’t surprise me.”

Is Louis trying to get fired?

Levi Kereama, the wild card contestant on the first season of Australian Idol, is now dead, apparently of suicide.

Hours after he and his band, Lethbridge, performed at the Parklife Festival in Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens and Riverstage, the 27-year-old singer fell to his dead from a hotel balcony in Brisbane, Australia.

Though Kereama finished in 6th place on the show, he gained popularity in 2003 with female fans for his baby face and unique approach to singing. He and his brothers - Jules, Ezra, and Lane - signed a record deal under the name Lethbridge and the act released several singles in 2004.

It is believed that Kereama was suffering from depression, though nothing is certain yet. In the wake of his death, several fan pages have offered their condolences and support to each other, incuding encouragement to reach out for help.

We wish Levi’s family the best during this tough time.

A very Photoshopped Nicole Kidman gets the two cover treatment for the new issue of Elle magazine.

The red dress cover is quite exquisite!

In the interview, the new mother to Sunday Roast opens up about life and her adores - including ex Tom Cruise.

Here are some HIGHlights:

On whether or not she felt she married Tom Cruise too young:
“Would I want my kids to get married at that age? No! But that was an astounding thing for me. [Tom] taught me an enormous amount – as a girl into a woman. Absolutely, I would do it again.”

On becoming a mother later in life:
“At 41, it’s a more painful love. I look at that tiny girl, and I’m, like, Oh, no, what’s going to happen? It’s nearly like my heart is stretching; I’m feeling all these muscles stretch with emotion. It’s a beautiful love but there’s a lot of fear and pain for her life, and for Bella’s and Connor’s life. I like to believe that nothing was stopping Sunday from coming into the world.”

On natural childbirth:
“It was the most beautiful thing to go through with him [husband Keith Urban]. I had a great team of women, too. At one point there were nine women in the room and Keith.”

On husband Keith Urban:
“He’s the greatest man besides my dad I’ve ever met. He’s loyal and he’s a soul searcher. He’ll kill me for…He’s very very private.”

On living in Tennessee:
“There’s something to be stated for going back to a simple form of living – nature and family. There’s something very…there’s safety in that.”

Poor Australians!

They’ll no longer be able to enjoy the new 90210!

But, it seems like they don’t really care. Cuz many of them have chosen not to view it and now the show is getting pulled from the air in Oz!

Australia’s Channel 10 has just taken the series off their lineup, after just four episodes, due to poor ratings.

A spokesperson for the station said, “90210 is an excellent show that clearly resonated with a younger audience, but it didn’t have the kind of numbers needed to stay in this intensely competitive environment.”

During its last episode on the network, the show only managed to get 616,000 viewers during its primetime slot on Monday.

This is a pretty big blow to Ten since they were considering 90210 to be one of their most highly-anticipated programs of the year.

They even purchased the program without viewing the pilot!

Ten’s head of programming, David Mott, said a few weeks to the show’s debut in Australia that “Generation X, who were targeted in the 1990s, have grown up and the show is already creating buzz in Generation Y.”

However, the show seemed dead since its premiere which only gathered 837,000 viewers, a lot less than they anticipated.

The network will broadcast the remaining episodes during the summer (in Australia).

Will 90210 have the same fate here????

No! Thankfully the show has just been picked up for more episodes on The CW!

It’s hard to believe, but Naomi Watts turned 40 on Sunday.

Her main man, Liev Schreiber, threw the soon-to-be mommy of 2 a fun surpirse party with close friends and family on Saturday.

But that’s not all!

He also gifted her with a Mercedes-Benz Bluetec!

The Bluetec is MBZ’s new, $50K, environmentally-friendly, luxury SUV.

And, it doesn’t even hit the market until the end of next month!

Liev threw his (and probably her’s!) star status around to get the SUV in time for the fete.

But, they’re not the only ones sporting the new Benz.

Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale and their two kids are also cruising the streets of LaLaLand in the eco-friendly machine.

The celebrity life is so perk-filled!

Gimmicks are necessary sometimes!

Aussie thesp Russell Crowe is set to play the role of Robin Hood AND the evil Sheriff of Nottingham in another film adaption of the famous Robin Hood tale.

Trying hard much?

And, in the ‘demure’ Maid Marian role will be Sluttyienna Miller.

Demure indeed!

What are the desperado producers going to come up with next for some attention?

We expect lots of gratuitous sexy scenes if Slutty’s on board!

Nicole Kidman attributes the surprise pregnancy of her daughter, Sunday Roast, to a dip in some magical Australian waters while working on the Baz Luhrmann epic Australia.

Sunday Roast is one of SEVEN babies conceived during the film’s production and what do all the mothers have in common? They had a swim in the waters of the Kununurra waterfall in Australia’s wild outback!

Sounds like some voo-doo magic to us.

Better remind the Spears family to avoid the Outback!!!

Gosh, and here we thought babies came from…the stork!

Sunday Roast is Nicky’s first child with husband and country star/recovering addict Keith Urban.

The tall slender Aussie is grateful for her height, which evened out her pregnancy weight. She also said it was an easy brith, which she credits to genetics and Keith’s support.

She’s excited to be a mother again at 41.

Kidman also has two adopted children she never sees - Bella and Connor - with ex-husband Tom Cruise. But no one really talks about those kids.

At the tender age of four, Steve Irwin’s son, Bob, might host his own wildlife show.

In a recently filmed pilot, Bob expertly handles reptiles and even wrestles a mini-crocodile!

Crikey!

Taking after his father and even his older sister, Bindi, whose own animal program is broadcast on the Kids Discovery Channel, Bob insists on being, as he puts it, “mister independence.”

The family watches Steve Irwin DVDs every morning at breakfast.

Isn’t that a little bit creepy????????

Terri, Steve’s widow, insists otherwise, saying that it’s “comforting and familiar” and even “special” for Bindi and Bob, of whom she says “is a little Steve clone.”

Better keep him clear of stingrays then!

On Friday, Australia’s immigration department announced that California rapper Snoop Dogg has been granted a visa to enter Australia for an upcoming concert tour.

The department took into account the fact that Snoop had traveled to Australia three times without incident:

“In making this decision, the department weighed his criminal convictions against his previous behavior while in Australia, recent conduct—including charity work—and any likely risk to the Australian community. We took into account all relevant factors and, on balance, the department decided to grant the visa.”

Take that, Oz Snoop protesters!

We hope Snoop totally follows through with his pledged commitment to do charity work with at-risk youth during his visit to the land down under!

The Dogg plans to tour the country with Ice Cube and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony in October.

Behave, boys!

If all goes well in Oz, Snoop, England might change its tune on you too!.

Get ready to rock and roll, Oz style!

According to a new report, The Veronicas are close to sealing a reality show deal with MTV.

It should make for an interesting show.

Just recently, one of the band’s twinsies, Jess, was involved in a celesbian fling and a nude photo scandal.

What else do the girls have in store for us?

Jess revealed to a music writer that the project makes sense because, “We document everything we do anyway.”

We’ll just kick back and wait for some juicy ‘leaks’.
