Soon named as Lynch's replacement was and so 21-year-old booster cable vocalizer Natalie Maines, the girl of steel guitar caption Lloyd Maines.

Rhys Ifans - Ifans Quizzed By Police Over Paparazzi Attack

Welsh actor RHYS IFANS seems to be finding hard to deal with his split from ex-fiancee SIENNA MILLER - he reportedly lashed out at photographers after drowning his sorrows at a London nightspot.

The Notting Hill star split from actress Miller earlier this month (Jun08), amid rumours of his jealous behaviour and possessive ways.

And now, despite reports from co-stars and friends insisting the actor is doing fine after the split, the star was less convincing after a boozy drinking session in the British capital on Thursday night (19Jun08).

According to reports, the star hit out at the awaiting paparazzi, swearing at the snappers and even reportedly trying to hit one with a bottle.

The actor was so angry, police were called to the scene and officers spent ten minutes trying to calm the star down, before eventually sending him home.

Heinz pulls mayo ad after complaints

LONDON —

Heinz Co. said viewer complaints prompted it to pull a British television advertisement for mayonnaise that showed two men kissing.

The ad for Heinz Deli Mayo depicted a kitchen scene involving two children, a father and a male deli cook with a New York accent, whom the children addressed as "Mum." At the end of the ad, the cook kisses the father as he leaves for work.

The Advertising Standards Authority said it received 202 complaints, some that said the advertisement was offensive, inappropriate and unsuitable for children.

Heinz said the ad was withdrawn because of "consumer feedback." Spokesman Nigel Dickie said Tuesday that the company apologized if it had offended anyone.

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly complained about the advertisement on Friday during his show, "The O'Reilly Factor."

"I just want mayonnaise. I don't want guys kissing," he said.

British gay rights group Stonewall said it was shocked that Heinz had yanked what it called an "innocuous" ad and urged gay consumers to boycott the company.

The ad, which was launched on British television just over a week ago and was meant to run for five weeks, was taken off the air Friday, Heinz said in a statement released Monday.

The ad did not run in the U.S.
