UNCLE RUSH BRINGS THE CELEBS OUT IN THE

HAMPTONS

Danny and Russell Simmons‗ 14th Annual Art For Life Benefit went down this past Saturday at Fairview Farms in Bridgehampton. And we‘ve got the celeb pics and the millions of dollars raised inside….

Russell Simmons had his daughters, Aoki & Ming Lee, on hand to witness over $1.5 million being raised at the Art For Life Benefit this weekend. Ming is the spitting image of her mom Kimora. These two gals are growing up to be fabulous young ladies.

SANDRA BULLOCK SUED

Sandra Bullock is on the receiving end of a lawsuit over watches that were being hawked with her name attached.

The case may sound familiar, because Sandra herself first filed a lawsuit against Toy Watch USA, claiming the company had no right to advertise their products with her name and likeness.

ToyWatch has an insurance policy that ―MIGHT‖ cover a judgment in case they lose in court. The insurance company doesn‘t want to wait until Sandra‘s case runs its course, so it filed legal docs today against Sandra, asking a judge to decide if they‘re on the hook in case Sandra wins.

We‘re guessing Sandra wants the policy to cover such a judgment, because she‘s probably way more likely to collect if the insurance company is required to pay.

MICHAEL JORDAN’S SON NAKED PICTURE HITS

NET

Michael Jordan‘s son is claiming his Twitter account was hacked after a picture of a penis was tweeted from his handle on Saturday.

The explicit photograph was tweeted at 10:41 p.m. from the 22-year-old Marcus Jordan‗s account, @SASBMJ, followed by this tweet: ‗#mistake my bad,‘ Deadspin reported.

Early Sunday, he tweeted, ‗Anyway, what‘s poppin Twitter #HappySunday.‘ Then a couple hours later he addressed the late-night penis picture by claiming, like Anthony Weiner did when his sextingscandal broke in 2011, that his account had been hacked.

‗My homies hitting me up talking about some pic that was posted from my account.. I mean really? Y‘all think I don‘t know how to work this?‘ he tweeted.

‗Whoever it was posted it and deleted it.. THEN posted that ―mistake‖ tweet on my page.. Lol Good one.. But #CmonSon that ain‘t me.‘

He added: ‗This would be my what, 3rd ―accidental‖ tweet.. #FOH.‘

Jordan has since deleted his Twitter account.

Claims of hacking have drawn particular skepticism since New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner famously alleged in 2011 that he had been hacked after a picture of him in his boxers was posted from his Twitter account.

4-YEAR-OLD HAS 145 IQ

A four-year-old girl who can recite the capital of every country and claims to be smarter than her parents has become the newest member of the genius club, Mensa.

Anala Beevers from New Orleans, Louisiana, scored more than 145 in a standardized IQ test putting her in the top one per cent of the population.

Her mother and father told Aol that she learned the alphabet when she was four months old and by one-and-a half had mastered numbers in Spanish.

SWISS TRAIN CRASH INJURES 40

Reports say the regional trains collided head-on in the early evening

At least 35 people have been injured, five of them seriously, in a collision between two trains in western Switzerland.

The crash happened in Granges-pres-Marnand in Vaud canton, about 50km (30 miles) south-west of the capital, Bern.

The regional trains collided head-on in the early evening.

The driver of one of the trains died in the incident and his body was recovered from the wreckage early on Tuesday morning, Swiss police said.

Emergency workers had succeeded in separating the two locomotives and found the driver‘s body in one of them.

An autopsy has been ordered to formally establish his identity, a police statement said.

The other driver was among the injured.

The most seriously injured passengers had earlier been taken to hospital by helicopter or ambulance. Others were treated at the scene.

One of the trains involved was bound for Lausanne, about 38km (22 miles) to the south, while the other was travelling north from the same city, AFP news agency reports.

There would be no trains on the line between the towns of Lucens and Payerne on Tuesday, local police said.

Investigators are at the scene to try to determine the cause of the crash.

Switzerland‘s rail system is considered among the best and safest in the world.

Earlier this month, 79 people were killed in a high-speed derailment in north-western Spain.

STORM WEATHER IN HAWAII

HONOLULU — Forecasters monitoring a tropical storm crossing Hawaii were still warning residents and tourists on Monday to brace for possible flooding, wind gusts, mudslides and big waves, even as the storm weakened on its journey.

Earlier, local television stations extended morning news, pre-empting syndicated daytime shows to cover the storm‘s approach.

But Tropical Storm Flossie faded through the morning, thanks to winds that broke layers of the storm apart, said Tom Evans, acting director of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.

Warnings about the storm didn‘t stop some tourists from heading to popular beaches, despite urgings from state officials to cancel all beach trips until further notice. In Waikiki, beaches were unusually sparse as those outside contended with overcast skies and rain ahead of Flossie‘s arrival.

Kelly Tarkington, a college student from Savannah, Ga., got a sunburn from spending eight hours on the beach Sunday but had to take refuge from the rain under a beach umbrella Monday along with her aunt.

―We just came to enjoy the beach — attempt to at least — and now it‘s pouring rain so we‘re under our umbrella. It‘s awful,‖ said Tarkington, 21.

But she said the weather was mild compared with back home, so her experience won‘t stop her from returning to Hawaii.

EGYPT MILITARY APPLIES PRESSURE

CAIRO — The Egyptian authorities pressed their crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies on Monday, arresting two more senior Islamist leaders and hinting at possibly declaring a state of emergency, even as the European Union‘s top diplomat was visiting Cairo and talking to both sides in an attempt to mediate an easing of the crisis.

The police arrested Aboul-Ela Maadi and Essam Sultan, senior figures in the moderate Islamist al Wasat, or Center Party, according to state news media. Prosecutors issued warrants for their arrests last week, accusing the men of inciting violence and ―insulting the judiciary,‖ a crime under Egyptian law.

The European Union‘s senior foreign policy official, Catherine Ashton, who arrived in Egypt late Sunday, was meeting with the interim president, Adly Mansour, his vice president, Mohamed ElBaradei, and the defense minister, Gen. Abdul Fattah el-Sisi. She was scheduled to meet later with some of the remaining Muslim Brotherhood leaders who have not been arrested.

Ms. Ashton was the first Western emissary to visit the country in the aftermath of bloody street protests in Cairo and elsewhere over the weekend that left more than 80 Muslim Brotherhood members and sympathizers dead and hundreds wounded, the second mass killing of Islamists by the military since it deposed and arrested Mohamed Morsi, an Islamist and Egypt‘s first freely elected president, on July 3.

Tensions remained high in Cairo, as the Brotherhood and its allies held a number of protest marches Monday —including one to a military location — in defiance of the military‘s warnings. Egyptian security officials have issued threats to forcefully dismantle the main Islamist protest sit-in at an intersection in northeast Cairo, where tens of thousands of supporters have been living for weeks.
