December 31, 2004

British actor HUGH GRANT was attacked by a jellyfish while on a romantic Christmas vacation in Barbados.

Grant whisked his new love, socialite JEMIMA KHAN, off to the Caribbean island for a romantic getaway -- but ran into trouble while relaxing in the sea on an inflatable raft.

A fellow sunbather reveals, "We were lying in the sun when we heard a posh guy shouting, 'Aargh, aargh.'

" We couldn't believe it when we saw it was Hugh. He jumped up and was shouting, 'I've been stung by a [bleep] jellyfish.' " He rushed out of the water and disappeared up the beach. It was hilarious."

Oh, Bloody Hell!

ELVIS' WATER FOR SALE
December 31, 2004

What do you get your ELVIS PRESLEY fan this holiday season? How about sips of water taken from a cup Presley drank from himself.

Elvis fanatic WADE JONES was just 13 when he watched Presley perform in February 1977 at the Charlotte Coliseum, and he says he watched Elvis drink from the cup while he introduced the band.

Jones snatched the half-full cup as a souvenir after the show, took it home and stored the cup in his family's freezer for eight years. He later melted the ice and transferred the water to an air tight jar.

The King's water was sold on the online auction site Ebay for $455.
