Hugh Jackman rewarded hundreds of fans who camped overnight to see him at the world premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine by surprising them with breakfast. Tempe, Arizona won the chance to host the red carpet extravaganza after the desert city claimed the most votes in an online poll, which Jackman launched himself. Throngs of Tempe residents proved their dedication when they lined up outside the Tempe Marketplace a day before Jackman arrived for the premiere ( on Harley Davidson motorcycle no less).
The generous actor decided to treat the crowd by personally placing a call to a local cafe and ordering a breakfast of coffee and pastries for 800 people. Paradise Bakery's assistant manager Arianna Arroyo says, "We were so surprised and amazed by the gesture, and I was thinking what a big challenge it would be to get everything done. They were thrilled and really excited because they didn't expect something like that.
People had made posters, were screaming at the media and it was so awesome to see. "There are a lot of people waiting just to see him and it's pretty amazing what is happening out there for just one man."

Manny Pacquiao: The Lord of the Ring
Manny Pacquiao thrills Filipinos all over the world as he proves he is the planet's best pound-for-pound boxer with stunning two-round victory over Ricky Hatton.
A world title fight billed as the Battle of East and West yesterday concluded with the miserable sight of Ricky Hatton burtling south. Adter being subjected to a serious beating by Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao in Las Vegas, a little Filipino who possesses hands of lead, Hatton's 23-year career is likely to be heading in a similar direction.
Floored twice in the early flurries of thei IBO light welterweight duel, Hatton somehow staggered into the second round. He crumpled for a final time in its final second of that round as the power of Pacquiao proved overwhelming.
There are now doubts over Hatton's future in the sport. After 47 fights, it is these 5 mins 59 secs fights that have left hiim in a career cul-de-sac. The earthy Mancunian was exposed as an honest, but thoughtless trier, a figure whose belief in his ability was detached from reality. Raw power and an energised gait were always likely to be nullified by the purpose of Pacquiao's advances, but nobody imagined such a stunning dismantling. Pacquiao landed more than 80 telling blows, Hatton under 20.
Hatton was full of good intentions, but more caution was needed against Pacquiao, a figure who has six world titles in six different weight divisions. Hatton could not belie his British Bulldog stereotype. he was split open with such ease that he would have been as well protected if he had walked into the ring with one arm tied behind his back. More then 20,000 watched Hatton lose his unbeated record to Floyd Mayweather Jnr in Dec. 2007. They came back for more this time but were left like witnesses at the scene of a mugging. Not since Frank Bruno was destroyed by Mike Tyson inside three rounds in 1996 have so many Brits travelled so far, for so little.
Hatton will collect millions as the victim but, as they cruelly pointed out to Bruno, he would have made a few dollars more if he had a sponsor's name plastered on the soles of his feet. Hatton is not visiting new territory in being left in a heap in Vegas. As is said, once is unfortunate, twice is careless.
After going to hospital for the customary brain scan, Hatton will realise that he failed to rid himself of the errors that saw him stopped by Mayweather in 10 rounds. Pacquiao may well have proved too classy, but Hatton contributed to his own capitulation by trying to pound his opponent into the ground. Pacquiao was not an aging Kostya Tszyu.
In Vegas, a city known as the Capoital of Secong Chances, Hatton has had his two shots at taking down the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and failed. He is unlikely to get a third one.
Congratulations Manny Pacman Pacquiao!!!!!

She attended her freshman year of high school at the Marywood-Palm Valley School in Rancho Mirage, California followed by the Dwight School in New York for her sophomore and junior years. Famously she went to school here with Lady Gaga. She was then transferred to the Canterbury School, in New Milford, Connecticut where she was a member of the hockey team. However, in 1999, she was expelled for violating the school rules. Hilton later earned her GED.
PERSONAL LIFE
Hilton was engaged to fashion model Jason Shaw from mid-2002 to early 2003. In 2003-2004 she had a relationship with singer Nick Carter. Later she was engaged to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, from May 29, 2005 to November 2005. Thereafter, she began dating another Greek shipping heir, Stavros Niarchos III, before breaking up in May 2006. In early 2008, she was spotted with Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden and in May, Hilton announced her intention to marry Madden during interview with television talk-show host David Letterman. The two broke up in November 2008, and "remain very good friends". She is currently dating The Hills star Doug Reinhardt. Hilton has also refered to her intention to marry Reinhardt, saying "He's gonna be my husband."
Hilton loves small dogs, and owns a Yorkshire Terrier and a female Chihuahua named Tinkerbell. Hilton is frequently seen carrying Tinkerbell at social events and functions and in all five seasons of television reality show The Simple Life. In 2004, Tinkerbell "authored" a memoir, The Tinkerbell Hilton Diaries. On august 12, 2004, Tinkerbell went missing after Hilton's apartment was burgled, and a $5,000 reward was offered for her safe return. She was found six days later. By December 1, 2004, Tinkerbell was again spotted with Paris Hilton at various events. Hilton was also purchased a make Chihuahua on July 25, 2007 from Pets of Bel Air in L.A.
A homemade sex video of Hilton and then-boyfriend Rick Salomon was leaked on the internet in 2003, later released as the DVD 1 Night in Paris despite attempted legal action. It appeared a week prior to the premiere of The Simple Life.
On December 20, 2008, around 4am, a man in hooded sweater and gloves entered Hilton's Mulholland Estates, Los Angeles home and stole $2 million dollars worth of jewelry and other items from her bedroom. Hilton was not home at the time and nobody was injured in the home invasion. There is speculation that it was an inside job.
DRIVING VIOLATIONS
In September 2006, Hilton was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol with a bloog alcohol content of 0.08%, the level at which it is illegal to drive in California. Hilton's drivng license was subsequently suspended in November 2006, and in January 2007 she pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge. Her punishment was 36 months probation and fines of about $1,500. On January 15, 2007, Hilton was pulled over for driving with a suspended license and signed a document acknowledging that she was not permitted to drive. On February 27, 2007 Hilton was caught driving 70 mph in a 35 mph zone, agsin with a suspended license. She also did not have her headlights on even though it was after dark. Prosecutors in the office of the Los Angeles City Attorney charged that those actions, along with the failure to enroll in a court-ordered alcohol education program, constituted a violation of the terms of her probation.
On May 4, 2007 Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation. Initially, Hilton planned to appeal the sentence, and supported an online petition asking California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for a pardon. The petition was created and organized on May 5, 2007. In response, various opponents started a counter-petition to maintain the sentence. Both petitions attracted tens of thousands of signatures. Hilton later switched lawyers and dropped her plans to appeal.
Hilton was required to begin her jail term on June 5, 2007 and checked herself into the Century Regional Detention Facility, an all-female jail in Lynwood, California after attending the MTV 2007 Movie Awards on June 3, 2007. With credit for good behavior, it was anticipated that Hilton would only serve 23 days of her 45-day sentence, however in an unexpected turn of events, L.A. Country Sheriff Lee Baca signed orders on the morning of June 7, reassigning Hilton to 40 days of home confinement with an electronic monitoring device due to an unspecified medical condition. On the same day that Hilton was released from jail, Judge Michael Sauer summoned her to reappear in court the following morning as the sentencing statement had explicitly said she would serve time in jail with "no work furlough. No work release. No electronic monitoring. At the hearing he declined to be briefed by Hilton's attorney in private chambers on the nature of her condition and sent her back to jail to serve out her original 45-day sentence. Upon hearing the sentence, Hilton shouted "it's not right!" and started screaming, requesting to hug her mother who was present int he courtroom. Concern about Hilton's condition led to her being moved to the medical wing of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in L.A., and she was moved back to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood on June 13.
While in jail, Hilton was influenced by the clergyman minister Marty Angelo: Hilton referred to starting a "new beginning" during her interview with talk show host Larry King on June 28, 2007, two days after being released from jail. On June 9, 2007, Marty Angelo petitioned Sauer, asking to serve our the remainder of Hilton's jail sentence if the judge would release her to an alternative treatment program, but the petition was turned down.
