Amanda Knox Returns to U.S., Tearfully Thanks Supporters

Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:57 PM PDT

She's spent the past four years in an Italian jail after being convicted of murder, but tonight (October 4) Amanda Knox made her return to the United States.

The 24-year-old flew from Rome to London before boarding a flight to Seattle, Washington - where a press conference took place upon her arrival with swarms of media members converging on the locale.

Speaking briefly with the press, Amanda quivered as she started off by stating, "I'm a little overwhelmed right now."

Surrounded by loved ones, the 24-year-old continued, "Thanks to everyone who believed in me, who has defended me, who supported my family. My family's the most important thing right now and i just want to go be with them."

The return to her homeland comes after a Perugia court overturned her murder conviction, as Ms. Knox had been found guilty of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007 with the help of her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, but when key DNA evidence was found to be unreliable she was set free.

And while the Knox family is rejoicing, Kercher's brother, Lyle, voiced his confusion about what to make of the ordeal, as he told press, "We want to say we accept the decision but we are also looking at how a decision so certain a few years ago should be overturned. Rudy Guede's appeal was upheld by the court and the court agreed he wasn't acting alone. So, if those two aren't guilty, who are the others? We're back at Square One, and the search goes on to find out what really happened."

Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:44 PM PDT

Joining together to celebrate their culinary expert friend's latest literary offering, Kate Winslet and Gwen Stefani were side-by-side at Locanda Locatelli in London, England on Tuesday night (October 4).

The Oscar-winning actress and the multi-talented musician/fashion designer took to the popular UK eatery to ring in the release of Chef Giorgio Locatelli's new book 'Made In Sicily'.

The festive affair comes just as Miss Winslet opened up about her divorce and new path in life as part of her cover girl efforts for the November 2011 issue of Harper's Bazaar UK.

Of parting ways with husband of seven years Sam Mendes, Kate told, "We're grown-ups at the end of the day, and however hard it's been for me, it's been equally hard for him. And we have a child together who we both love - and raising him together, jointly and without any conflict, is absolutely key."

Currently dating Richard Branson's wild nephew, "Ned Rocknroll," Winslet - who turns 36-years-old on Wednesday (October 5) - said, "I feel that I'm just at the beginning of a new narrative, and it's incredibly exciting. It's complicated, I know, and uncertain - but it's where life happens, between the cracks. It can be a painful process, but I truly hope that never stops for me."

Adele is "Truly Devastated" Over Canceled U.S. Tour

Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:12 PM PDT

Coming as a huge disappointment to all of those planning on attending one of her scheduled performances, Adele has sadly announced that she'll no longer be embarking on a 10-city U.S. tour.

The string of shows were slated to kickoff in Atlantic City on October 7th, but the British singer has canceled all of her shows after suffering a hemorrhage in her vocal cord.

Voicing her disappointment via her website, the 23-year-old wrote, "Singing is literally my life, it's my hobby, my love, my freedom and now my job. I have absolutely no choice but to recuperate properly and fully, or I risk damaging my voice forever. I have great confidence in believing you know how much this upsets me, how seriously I take it and how truly devastated and annoyed I am by this. Wanting to do something so bad and not being able to is the most frustrating thing as I'm sure you know!"

With no makeup dates being named thus far, Adele added, "My voice is weak and I need to build it back up. I'm gonna be starting up vocal rehab [soon] and start building my over all stamina in my voice, body and mind. I will be back and I'm gonna smash the ball out the park once I'm touring again. I apologize from the bottom of my heart, sincerely I do. I know it's not only disappointing because of the show, but it's plane tickets, hotel bookings, birthdays, anniversaries and time wasted. But please have faith in me that this is the only thing I can do to make sure I can always sing and always make music for you to the best of my ability. Truly yours and yours only forever, Adele xx"

The former "Dancing with the Stars" pro showed off her sexy curves for the segment, wearing a body-hugging black dress with a plunging neckline and a pair of gray heels.

The outing comes as the "Footloose" starlet has been gushing about the premiere night present her beau Ryan Seacrest gave her just moments before her big event.

"On the way here he gave me a little present. It was a cute little necklace with an 'Ariel' boot on it. He's just the most thoughtful person I've ever met," Julianne told "Entertainment Tonight."

Noting that Miss Hough plays the role of Ariel in the film, the gesture was meant to serve as a reminder of the time she officially unveiled her rendition of the role to the world.
