Mystery surrounds mystery celeb and her mysterious pictures. It can't be Amy Winehouse or Zsa Zsa. The former has no shame and the latter strikes me more as a Dell gal:

Celebs must have it easier in the UK. Getting a court order telling the press to mind their own beeswax doesn't work over here - but then again, our celebrity culture makes people feel obligated to spill their private details to the media. It would never occur to them to do otherwise.

As they used to say on Dragnet: And now, the results of that trial.

When nicked, the crook had the usual compelling explanation:

As for the identity of the celebrity, who knows? My first thought went to this story, which may have nothing to do with it, but if you're dumb enough to sue Apple because someone "hacked" your laptop, you're dumb enough to think no one remembers when you tell the court you want anonymity.
