B.C. Mountie who had sex on the job ordered to resign
A British Columbia Mountie who had sex on the job and used his uniform to draw dates will have to resign, an RCMP adjudication board decided Wednesday. RCMP Const. Trent Richards admitted to having sex with women on at least 15 occasions while on duty at the rural detachment in Shawnigan Lake, B.C., on Vancouver Island. Richards, 34, posted his profile on internet dating sites offering "sex with a hot cop" and posted a photo of himself in his red serge dress uniform on one site. RCMP accused Richards of using force computers to pursue his extra-curricular activities. Richards has been suspended with pay since January 2007. The adjudication board decided Richards must resign within two weeks or be dismissed for "repeated on-duty sexual activity, as well as repeated misuse of RCMP information technology." He has 14 days to appeal the decision to the RCMP commissioner.
Girl-group get-togethers to plan for 2008
Many women have a love-hate relationship with Sex and the City. It was a great show but it spawned so many horrible things: New York bus tours that stopped at, among other show-specific sites, the store where Charlotte bought her "Rabbit Pearl" vibrator; sassy single-girl dating columnists; and online quizzes to determine which character you are. So when the Sex and the City movie was announced, we wearily resigned ourselves to the onslaught of more articles on what the fab four were wearing; if the on-set photos of Carrie in a wedding dress were a real part of the plot or just a dream sequence; and on the cultural impact of the series we just can't seem to get away from. We'd love to say enough already, but who's kidding who? Come May 30, we'll be in line for the movie with everyone else. Spice Girls The reunion tour! .

Kylie's sexy duet upsets Heather
POP Princess Kylie Minogue reduced Paul McCartney's estranged wife Heather Mills to tears after she sang a sexy duet with the former Beatles star on a New Year's Eve television special. Friends of Mills say she was furious when she saw Minogue "flirting" with her husband and lying on top of a grand piano while singing his solo song, Dance Tonight, alongside Sir Paul. "She's really mad about the way Paul got close to Kylie," one friend told The Sunday Mirror. "She reckons he did it on purpose and feels it was a deliberate public dig at her. "She thinks he's just trying to prove a point, that he's moved on and is comfortable around other women. She was so hurt she burst into tears." Sir Paul and Kylie were special guests on the BBC2 program, Jool's Holland annual Hootenanny.
