Half brothers Julian and Sean Lennon have begun speaking to each other again.
Their reconciliation follows Julian’s eight-year feud with Sean and Sean’s mother, Yoko Ono, the widow of the men’s father, Beatle John Lennon, the New York Post reported.
The rift stemmed from comments Julian made about Yoko Ono, he told the Post. Julian’s mother is John’s first wife, Cynthia.
“I thought it time to make big changes in my own life,” Julian, 44, told the Post in what the paper said was his first interview since 1999. “Part of that has been to get Sean back into my life, because I love him so much.”
After contacting Sean’s tour manager this year, Julian surprised his half brother backstage after a show in Prague. “We just hugged and held each other,” Julian recalled.
Julian joined Sean, 31, on the tour bus, sleeping on the floor and traveling through Croatia and Slovenia, he said. [Y!]

Entertainment Tonight co-host and backstage diva Vanessa Minnillo has been identified as the sidekick in the recent Lindsay Lohan knife-wielding, soft-core lesbian pics.
The risqué pictures show Minnillo pulling down Lohan’s shirt, playing with knives and almost necking with the troubled actress, currently in rehab for such behavior. A source at US Magazine reports, “she got caught in the moment and thought it would be fun.”
Recently Minnillo, 26, co-hosted the Miss Universe pageant in Mexico City with Mario Lopez and is now worried her silly antics could damage an already tarnished reputation
Vanessa’s character already precedes her. Covering the Grammys in February for “ET” a source reports “she was extremely high maintenance. Insisted they (CBS) fly her own hair and makeup people and her personal assistant out with her every time she flew… she only flew first class and stayed at the Four Seasons, and then she didn’t want to work. Vanessa wants to be a celebrity, not interview them.” “ET” did not assign her to cover the Academy Awards in March.

Other celebrities in the running include Natalie Portman, Casey Affleck, Live Free or Die Harder Hottie, Maggie Q, Canto Pop King, Jackie Cheung, Barbie Xu, Joaquin Phoenix, Rubben Studdard, and 200 other leading lads and lasses.

Sandra Oh is a terrific actress and she’s knocking down barriers for women and Asian Americans, heck, all people of color in the entertainment industry. So DaDump has much respect for her abilities and achievements and I’m a huge fan to boot so don’t get me wrong when I question the following people’s glasses prescriptions…
It’s natural in an unnatural way to want Angelina Jolie’s lips, Jessica Alba’s breasts, Maggie Cheung’s grace, maybe even Bai Ling’s modesty… so it’s no great surprise to see the influence of celebrities on today’s cosmetic surgery practices.
So it was with some dazed confusion to read that medical professionals have revealed the following:
Ellen DeGeneres, 49, and Sandra Oh, 35. “They’re the new ‘it’ girls,” said plastic surgeon Thomas Romo of New York City. “People come in with a magazine photo and say, ‘I want to look like that.’ “
