It hasn’t been widely reported as of yet but Elton John was stopped by traffic police when trying to re-enter Wembley Stadium after his performance at the Princess Diana (the “Concert for Diana”).
Elton launched a tirade at traffic police after they told him to get out of his chauffeur-driven car and walk the short distance to the VIP backstage area as part of tough security measures following the terrorism scares.
“Get out of my @#$!ing way,” he reportedly said. “Don’t you know who I am? I’ve been working all @#$!ing day and I need to get to my @#$!ing dressing room.”

Angelina Jolie says that the late Princess Diana was the inspiration behind her starting charity work. The actress first became involved in human rights in 2001 after she shot a film in Cambodia, where she adopted her first child.
“Diana inspired me immensely. I followed the work she undertook very closely, especially the issue of landmines,” Jolie said. “It was fascinating that she chose that cause. No matter what I do, I always want to go to refugee camps and meet with the most unfortunate. I have found it a privilege- a way of making me feel alive.”
The actress and humanitarian has revealed that the Princess of Wales inspired her to investigate causes to support and people to help around the world.

The Concert for Diana was a hit. It ranked #1 for NBC last night beating out all contenders.
The Diana tribute special featured big names in the music business and averaged 8.7 million viewers as well as a 2.1 rating/7 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates released Monday by Nielsen Media Research.
63,000 filled Wembley Stadium to see an international lineup pay tribute to Britain’s Princess Diana at a memorial charity concert 10 years after her death, on what would have been her 46th birthday. The six-hour show spanned generations of performers, from veterans Elton John, who opened the show with ”Your Song” and Tom Jones (covering the Arctic Monkeys’ ”I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor”) to contemporary pop stars including Kanye West, backed by an all-female string section, a DJ, and red-clad dancers, Fergie, and P. Diddy, performing ”I’ll Be Missing You.”
Elton John, a friend of the princess who sang at her funeral, kicked off the show with “Your Song” in front of giant black and white photographs of Diana taken by Mario Testino that were beamed on to the stage backdrop.
He was followed by veterans Duran Duran, Status Quo, Bryan Ferry, younger acts The Feeling, Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, Orson, Lily Allen and U.S. rapper Pharrell Williams as well as The English National Ballet, a favorite of Diana’s.

Today Lady Diana would have turned 46.
Tonight, her two sons are helping stage a benefit concert in her behalf. Proceeds from the concert will go to charities supported by the late Princess, and to charities of which the Princes are Patrons.
According to London’s Sunday Mirror, the young royals will cohost the one-off gig at the soon-to-reopen Wembley Stadium, allowing more than 90,000 revelers to share in the “upbeat” celebration—and benefit—in honor of the princess.
Proceeds from the massive to-do will be doled out to several charities—most likely including the homeless charity Centrepoint, which Diana worked closely with prior to her 1997 death, and William’s recently founded African conservation charity, Tusk Trust.

As noted in Conspiracy Nation, more and more, Paris is becoming a center of political assassinations.
ITEM: In July, 1996, Amschel Rothschild was murdered, just as he was about to become the new head of the Rothschild worldwide banking empire, tied to the Vatican. Most of the American press were silent: some said it was a heart attack; others, a suicide. He was found with a bathroom cord tied around his neck, connected to a towel rack. In checking it out, however, the Paris police discovered the rack came right off the wall! Hence, it was murder, not suicide.
Rothschilds and Rockefellers have engaged each other in bloody financial wars for many decades. Rothschild was murdered on the anniversary of the murder of John D. Rockefeller III, 1978. Recently, we repeated the exclusive details.
