Conspiracy theory: Did the Russian Mafia kill Ruslana Korshunova?

A beautiful, successful Russian model leaps out of a window and kills herself. Why?

Theories are now flooding the Internet about the "real" reason for Ruslana Korshunova's death. Some even claim that she was a victim of a Russian Mafia-controlled teenage-model flesh-peddling organization.

Click here for more details.

And click here for the best crackpot theory so far. Or is it so crackpot? Anyone who saw Viggo Mortensen play a Russian gangster in in "Eastern Promises" might give this theory a second thought.

One wild theory is that "Ruslana's death might be related to the model wanting out desperately and not being allowed to do so by the Paris-New York-Moscow mafia that controls teenage models. Some reports have linked the economic giant Gazprom with creating a web of model management and discovery with a tightly controlled escort spinoff that sets up supermodels with corporative tycoons.  Most of the girls being from Eastern Europe."

Even Geraldo Riviera is getting into the act (surprise), showing footage of the model's body on a stretcher.

What do you think? Are the police being too quick to call it a suicide? Will anyone bother to dig deeper?

Forget about those silly romantic comedies and niggling cosmetic endorsement deals.

Uma Thurman finally landed herself a reallyreallyreally rich dude!

She's just confirmed her engagement to Swiss multi-millionaire Arpad "Arki" Busson, who fathered two children with another Amazonian proportioned goddess, supermodel Elle McPherson.

Uma was previously married to actors Gary Oldham and Ethan Hawke. And for three years it looked as if she might snag handsome, wordly hotelier-entrepreneur Andre Balazs.

But when that didn't come to pass, she set her sights on another Euro high roller.

Sounds mildly akin to Ellen Barkin, who married billionaire Ron Perelman after divorcing actor Gabriel Byrne. She and Ron had a bitter divorce, but, hey, she got a few mil and some jewelry out of the deal.

Anyway, enough history.

Pete Doherty released a new single over the weekend, a love song to his ex, Kate Moss, whose photos flash during the video.

It's a whiney little ditty about how he can't sleep and wonders what happened to his relationship with the supermodel, the girl he cheated on and lied to for years.

All together now: "Loser!"

What made the model known as the "Russian Rapunzel" jump out of a window this weekend?

It's a tragic mystery. The shocking death of the beautiful model has left many wondering what might have made Ruslana Korshunova, 20, fall to her death from her Manhattan apartment Saturday.

Police found no signs of a struggle. And friends said she had not been acting suicidal.

Now the Daily Telegraph has printed her posts on social networking websites, which seem to show the young woman had feelings of being lost, confused and unloved and suffered from mood swings. Which seems pretty normal for a 20-year-old girl. But was it serious enough to make her jump out a window?

In one message three months ago she wrote: "I'm so lost. Will I ever find myself?"

An earlier posting, quoted by the New York Daily News, she wrote: "It hurts, as if someone took a part of me, tore it out, mercilessly stomped all over and threw it out."

One cryptic entry in March reads: "My dream is to fly. Oh, my rainbow it is too high."

Other postings revealed anger. "I'm a bitch. I'm a witch. I don't care what you say ... I know why my other relationships didn't work out, 'cause I'm unpredictable. "

Her most recent posting, quoted by the New York Daily News, sounds like a discourse on the theme of love.

"Love is the sun, desire – only flash," she wrote.
"Desire dazzles, and the sun gives life."

"Love does not take away from one in order to give to another."

The 5-foot-8, long-haired beauty had been sending money home to her family in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.

She'd been in ads for DKNY, Vera Wang and Christian Dior, and was hailed as "the next big thing" in Vogue three years ago. To see a gallery of her modeling photos, click HERE.

She had reportedly watched the movie "Ghost" with a former boyfriend the night of her death.

Just what the world needs. Another Lohan.

Seems that Lindsay Lohan's father, Michael Lohan, had a daughter with another woman while he was still married to Dina Lohan more than 13 years ago. He says he was estranged from Dina, Lindsay's mother,  at the time.

Yup, he's using that old "We were on a break" excuse.

Michael Lohan told OK! Magazine, "Years later the woman contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child."

Michael – married to Dina from 1985 to 2007 – has written letters to the girl's mother saying his illegitimate daughter "is beginning to look a lot like Linds, with a mix of Cody, believe it or not."

He also sent a photo of himself to the girl, which he signed "Love Daddy."

The girl's mom claims that while Michael called his daughter on her 13th birthday in June and has spoken with her on the phone, he's never visited or sent money.

We're shocked, simply shocked!

She told OK: "It's time for Michael to take responsibility."

She might do better by trying to land her daughter a role in Dina Lohan's reality TV show, "Living Lohan." It would have to make the show more interesting. And I'm sure your daughter is more appealing than her snooty-faced, spoiled half-sis, Ali Lohan.

Ask not for whom the wedding bells toll. They're definitely not ringing for Joel Madden and Nicole Richie.

That's what the Good Charlotte rocker, father of Richie's 6-month-old daughter, Harlow, revealed last week.

"We don't have any plans for that right now," Madden told People. "We're just happy, and we're being a family, and that's where we're at right now. But marriage means something different to everyone."

With that statement, they're now officially on the Unwedded Bliss List -- referring to the Hollywood stars (Brad and Angelina being the most blatant example) who are shunning traditional marriage.

In case you haven't noticed (and really, why would you), celebrities are increasingly opting to live together and raise children without the religious ceremony, financial entanglements and tax benefits of a legal union.

Ironically, this trend is taking off at a time when, in California, gays, lesbians and transexuals are gleefully trotting down the aisle after the state Supreme Court lifted a ban (even if only temporarily with a November ballot vote) on same sex marriage.

Things are getting ugly between "The Hills" star Spencer Pratt and Mary-Kate Olsen.

Mary-Kate Olsen chatted with David Letterman on Thursday night, talking about kissing Gandhi (Ben Kingsley) in "The Wackness," Hollywood's bad girls, not wearing panties (she was!) and "wormy" Spencer Pratt's bad temper.

She told Letterman that Pratt played soccer in high school and "he does not have a good temper. He would walk off the field."

"I don't really get why she'd use my name to get press for her little indie film that no one's going to see," Pratt fired back to  Usmagazine.com Friday. "She should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me."

But Pratt told Us that Olsen went to Campbell Hall in North Hollywood, and he attended Crossroads School in Santa Monica.

"I know I've made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman," Pratt said. Make that "Troll Doll," you worm!

Oh, you've made it all right, Spencey. But for so, so many reasons other than Mary-Kate's mention

"I forgive her, though," Pratt said. "She's had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough."

Zing. Your turn, Mary-Kate.
