This is my favorite photo of Princess Diana. She looks so radiant and happy (but was apparently not). I can't believe it's been seven years since she was killed. Her death was one of those moments that is forever etched in your brain (like 9/11, the Challenger explosion, OJ in the white truck).

A spokeswoman for the princes' residence, Clarence House, tells CNN: "William and Harry will be spending the day privately."

The moral of this story is don't drive drunk people.

A Georgia man who drove home with a friend's headless body after a truck accident then went to bed while the remains dangled out the window faces charges including vehicular homicide and drunk driving, police said on Monday.

John Hutcherson, covered in blood and visibly inebriated, was arrested in bed on Sunday morning after a local resident out on a stroll observed a headless, bloody body hanging out of the 21-year-old man's truck, Cobb County police said. Hutcherson was due to make an initial court appearance on Monday.

Police said that Hutcherson and his friend, identified as Francis Brohm, 23, were returning from a bar outside Atlanta early Sunday morning when their black 1992 Chevrolet Z-71 pickup hit a curb near a telephone pole. Brohm, partially outside the window at the time (reportedly puking), was decapitated by a guide wire on the telephone pole, according to police, who recovered his head at the crash site. "Alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor," police said (understatement of the year).

Unfortunately, I will not be able to escape the city this week, so I'm stuck here with my GOPdar going beserk. I'm proud of my fellow New Yorkers for taking to the streets, up to a week ahead of time, and voice their opinions. Kottke has some great photos from the march organized by United for Peace & Justice. Gothamist also has a great roundup of the photobloggers who have posted photos from the protests.

The most confusing arrest of the weekend, was the arrest of Bikesagainstbush creator Joshua Kinberg. He was arrested while taping an interview with MSNBC's Ron Reagan in Manhattan Saturday afternoon.

Kinberg was stopped by police while demonstrating the bicycle for the television interview. His bicycle is a high-tech graffiti writer, using chalk to print anti-Bush political messages sent by people via the internet. Apparently there was a question of whether or not the sprayed messages were a defacement of property.

When Kinberg showed the police sergeant how the bicycle used a non-permanent spray chalk, the sergeant seemed to agree that it wasn't defacement, at which point Kinberg asked, "am I free to go?" After conferring about it, officers decided to call superiors, then came back moments later to place Kinberg under arrest and confiscate the bicycle.

Kinberg cooperated fully with the officers as he was being handcuffed, only asking, "can I ask what I'm being arrested for?" to which no one provided an answer. As of 11:00 PM Saturday evening, he was still in custody without being charged with anything. [via nyc.indymedia.org]

In the blogging world, the convention has given us the return of The Kicker. However, it's not Elizabeth Spears who's posting, it's now a group blog regarding all things RNC. The most amusing post is regarding the Nation Rifle Association party.

"This is not Plum Sykes or the Bergdorf girls," said an investment banker as he surveyed the dance floor at the National Rifle Association's party at LQ on Saturday night. "These are people who won't set foot in the Hamptons because it's too Jewish." [via The Kicker]

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

As we all wait with anticipation for the forthcoming Paris Hitlon tome "Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose," all 192 pages (she's young, but come on 198 pages - the video story could have taken up at least 50), and news on Nicky's forthcoming divorce, the girls keep making the news.

Paris Hilton has picked up a new boy toy in Miami, where she was partying before appearing on the VMAs. Hilton's been hanging out with L.A. staple Simon Rex — a one-time MTV VJ who moonlighted as a porn star. The pair were spotted dirty-dancing at Miami's Mansion club Tuesday night. The next night, they hit the Forge restaurant for dinner. And the two were also spotted together at the "Diamonds on Ice" party Friday night at the Delano hotel. [via NYP]

They are perfect for each other. They both have porn pasts, they're both vapid, and both of them are too pretty. It's obvious that Paris goes for the lesser stars, so they don't outshine her.

Meanwhile Tara Reid and Lindsay Lohan are fighting over who gets to be Paris' new best friend, since she seems to be on the outs with Nicole Richie. Why Paris would want to be friends with a drunk and a bitch is beyond me. You have Nicole Richie, who has all those qualities, plus a former drug habit (and her tits are real).

If you can't wait until September 7th to buy 'Confessions', People magazine will publish excerpts on September 6th.

In Nicky Hilton news - temporary husband Todd Meister, reportedly doesn't like Nicky's friends. He feels they are too young and childish. Memo to Todd - that's what happens when you marry someone who's 21. The friend Todd likes the least is eternal wild child, Bijou Phillips (she along with other friends accompanied the couple on their honeymoon). Todd made fun of, and laughed at, Bijou throughout the entire honeymoon. Advice to Todd - beware of Bijou, she may cut you.

It was a light posting week. More posting will be assured this coming week.

Young Tim's in search of guidance on how to either become a model or an actor. Just look at his photograph; he's emoting maybe one or two emotions right now. He's the new Ben Affleck.

Rather than going the traditional route of distributing head shots and the like, to various agencies and casting agents. Tim decides to put upon James St. James for some guidance.

If things look out of skew, it's because of a CSS disaster. Hopefully things will be back to looking somewhat normal by the end of the day.
