The body of Katoucha Niane, one of the first African women to attain international stardom as a model and a vocal opponent of female genital mutilation, was found in the Seine River, police said. Known simply as Katoucha, the former top model for Yves Saint Laurent and other top designers was found near the Garigliano bridge in Paris, judicial police in Paris said. An autopsy showed no signs of foul play, pointing to the possibility that the she may have fallen accidentally into the river, they said. Katoucha had been missing since January and was last seen returning home from a party. She lived in a houseboat near Paris’ Alexandre III bridge, and her handbag was later found on the boat. The Guinean-born model ran away to Europe at 17 and wanted to be a model. Her big break came when Jules-Francois Crahay, then the designer at Lanvin, spotted her in a line-up. They hired her as a fitting model. Her first catwalk modeling was for Thierry Mugler at the start of the 1980s.After quitting the runway, she turned to speaking out actively against female circumcision, describing her own experience at age 9 in a book, “Katoucha, In My Flesh,” which was published last year. “I will never get the incomparable pain out of my head,” she wrote in the book, which she dedicated to her three children. Vanity Fair’s fashion and style director, Michael Roberts, said Katoucha was “one of those girls who used her fame to spotlight the misfortunes of others.”"She always seemed so gracious and very lovely,” he said. “She was sunny and she was bright, and I liked her a lot.”

Pamela Anderson is seeking an annulment, rather than a divorce, from husband Rick Salomon. Anderson is seeking to annul the two-month marriage based on fraud. No other details were available, and Anderson’s publicist would not comment. In court papers filed in Los Angeles, California, Anderson asked the court not to award spousal support and to keep her and Salomon’s income and property separate. Anderson also filed a request to have a retired judge handle the annulment proceedings, a common practice in celebrity split-ups as it keeps matters private and out of the court. Anderson and Salomon were married Oct. 6 in Las Vegas and separated Dec. 13. He’s best known for making a sex videotape with then-girlfriend Paris Hilton and was previously married to actress Shannen Doherty. Anderson was previously married to singer Kid Rock and Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee.

Lindsay Lohan’s father refuses to look at nude photos of her posing as Marilyn Monroe. Michael Lohan refuses to see the pictures of Lindsay in the new issue of New York magazine, but accepts it was “her decision” to agree to the shoot. He said: “I’m not going to look at the photos, that’s my daughter! But Lindsay is an adult, and she knows the direction she wants to take her career. It’s her decision.” However, Michael did recognize that being asked to recreate Bert Stern’s famous “Last Sitting” photos of Marilyn Monroe was a huge honor for Lindsay. He added, “The fact that the photographer Bert Stern who did Marilyn Monroe’s pictures would ask Lindsay to re-create them, that’s an amazing thing.” Michael also hopes Lindsay doesn’t fully follow in Marilyn’s footsteps, because the blonde iconic star died of a drugs overdose aged 36. He said: “I pray there are no parallels to her and Marilyn Monroe’s destiny.” Meanwhile, Lindsay’s mother Dina has lent her support to her daughter, saying the photos were “tastefully done.” She said: “It was very tastefully done. I respect the photographer as an artist, so I look at them artistically. For him to call Lindsay 46 years later and to say can you recreate these photos is an honor.” She added, “I looked at it as art, and as Lindsay doing a character.”"So I don’t look at them like it’s Playboy, she was being a character. If you look at it that way, you can look at it as a mother.”

Lindsay Lohan is following in the footsteps of the most famous blonde bombshell of them all, Marilyn Monroe. In the latest issue of New York magazine, Lohan poses nude for photographer Bert Stern in a recreation of one of Monroe’s most famous photo shoots, done shortly before she died. Stern photographed Monroe in 1962 at the Hotel Bel-Air in California, six weeks before she was found dead from an overdose of barbiturates. Those images for Vogue magazine feature Monroe in next to nothing, posing nude with some scarves and jewelry as her accessories and sipping champagne. Stern recreated those images with Lohan at the same hotel, with Lohan wearing a blond wig and not much else. In the essay accompanying the photos, Lohan, who admitted to a serious interest in Monroe, said deciding to do the photo shoot was easy.”I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor,” she said. Lohan described Monroes suicide as “tragic” and said it, along with the Jan. 22 death of actor Heath Ledger from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone. Stern said that he found women like Lohan and her tabloid companions Paris Hilton and Britney Spears interesting.”They’re girls that draw attention to their notoriety and their celebrity through their behavior,” he said. He said he thought the photo shoot would be good for Lohan, giving her the chance to portray herself as a grown-up. He also lauded her for her willingness to do it in the nude.”I thought she was a natural, not at all squeamish,” he said.

The divorce hearing between Paul McCartney and Heather Mills will continue a second week, after a judge allotted extra time for the couple’s court case. The hearing had been scheduled to end, but officials at London’s Royal Courts of Justice said the case before Justice Hugh Bennett would continue into next week. Mills and McCartney separated in 2006 after four years of marriage and have since traded blows in the media while trying, and failing, to agree on divorce terms. The hearing was called to decide on Mills’ share of the former Beatle’s fortune, estimated at as much as $1.6 billion. Media reports suggest that McCartney has offered Mills about $50 million and that she is seeking at least double that amount. The couple have been in court every day this week, but few details have emerged. Divorce proceedings are heard in private, and the courtroom is closed to journalists and the public. McCartney has hired lawyer Fiona Shackleton, and Mills, who fired her legal team late last year, is representing herself. After the hearing ends, Bennett is expected to take several weeks to consider his settlement. The terms will not become public unless it is challenged in the Court of Appeal, or either of the parties chooses to reveal details. The couple married in June 2002, and their daughter was born in October the following year. They announced their separation in 2006, and McCartney filed for divorce alleging “unreasonable behavior” by his wife.
