Former Girlfriend Says, “Priestley Was My Soul Mate”

The former girlfriend of late Australian actor Mark Priestley has come out of seclusion to release a statement, describing the All Saints star as her “soul mate”.

Actress and playwright Kate Mulvany, who had broken up with the 32-year-old a few weeks earlier, has been in seclusion since Priestley’s body was found on a building ledge above Market Street in Sydney’s CBD at lunchtime on Wednesday.

A deeply upset Mulvany said:

“Mark was my partner, my best friend, my soulmate and brought great joy to all who knew him.

“Thank you to everyone for your kind words. I request that you let us grieve for him and please remember him with love.”

Mulvany’s statement comes as filming resumes on All Saints, the show in which Priestley played the much-loved nurse Dan Goldman. His character married on-screen love Erica Templeton (Jolene Anderson) only a day before he jumped to his death from the 23rd floor of the Swissotel hotel.

Priestley’s parents, based in Perth, are still struggling to come to terms with their son’s shock death, but acknowledged the support he was given during his fight with depression.

“We are greatly strengthened and helped in this very difficult time by the expressions of sympathy and the kind comments about Mark’s life and career,” they said in a joint statement.

The funeral will be held in Western Australia next Thursday.

Lohan & Ronson Slam Father on MySpace

The feud between Lindsay and her father, Michael Lohan, has heated up already, with the Mean Girls actress and her DJ girlfriend Samantha Ronson responding to Michael’s latest comments on their MySpace pages.

Lindsay lashed out at her father, and wrote on her MySpace Celebrity blog: “He has become a public embarrassment and a bully – to my family, my co-workers, my friends and a girl that means the world to me.”

Her current mood was listed as “betrayed” at the time she published the blog post.

Lindsay added: “[My father has] no idea what is going on in my life. Samantha has not, and would never, sell me out.”

Samantha, LiLo’s alleged partner, also joined in the fight, writing on her MySpace page:

“I am not the reason that he has no contact with his daughter – he is. [He is] so desperate for attention that he goes to the media whenever possible.”

Stay tuned for round 3… it’s bound to come soon.

Lindsay & Her Father at War

Lindsay Lohan and her father Michael are involved in a bitter war of words, after born-again Christian Michael slammed his daughter’s best friend (and alleged girlfriend) Samantha Ronson earlier in the week.

Michael called Ronson a “parasite,” and said that Lindsay needed to wise up and take notice of those that were just using her for her fame.

“He’s out of control!” Lindsay said yesterday, in response to her father’s taunts.

Today, Michael Lohan has again hit back at his daughter’s words, telling ABCNews.com:

“Who’s out of control? Whose life is out of control? Give me a break!

“Going from place to place, being dragged around by Samantha so she can make more money off of Lindsay being there when she spins… [Lindsay's] gone from making $7 million to less than a million a movie. Who’s out of control?”

Michael added: “I go to church. I go and help people in rehab. That’s control. How can she say I’m out of control?”

Lindsay and Samantha have already responded to Michael’s latest comments. To read what they had to say this time, click here.

Katy Perry to Kiss Lindsay Lohan?

Wanted: one open-minded (and preferably hot) female celebrity to kiss singer Katy Perry at this year’s VMA’s.

Found: Lindsay Lohan!

Yes, it’s true! According to a source, MTV are desperate to make the most of Katy Perry’s smash-hit song, I Kissed a Girl, and are hoping to repeat the shock lip-locking that took place between Madonna and Britney Spears a few years ago.

While a decision hasn’t been made just yet, the celeb on the top of MTV’s list is rumoured lesbian actress, Lindsay Lohan.

“Producers are really working hard on it,” a source revealed. “They’d love it to be Lindsay, and they’re actually going to ask.”

I don’t know why they’re bothering. It’s not like Lindsay’s going to want to have a pash with Perry on live television, especially not when she’s put in a lot of effort denying those lesbian claims that keep popping up everywhere.

Maybe MTV should give Courtenay Semel or Tila Tequila a call instead? I’m sure they’d be up for a bit of girl-on-girl tonsel-hockey.

David Duchovny in Rehab for Sex Addiction

Actor David Duchovny has entered rehab to treat a sex addiction, his publicist has confirmed.

“I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family,” Duchovny said in a statement released by his lawyer, Stanton Stein.

Both Stein and Duchovny’s publicist, Flo Grace, refused to comment further, except to say that the X Files: I Want to Believe actor had committed himself “voluntarily”.

Ironically, Duchovny plays a sex-obsessed writer on the hit Showtime series Californication, which received two Emmy nominations this year. The second series of the show beings in September.

I guess that’s why he was able to relate to the character so easily…

Split With Girlfriend Caused Actor to Jump

Mark Priestley, the Australian actor who took his own life on Wednesday, jumped to his death just weeks after splitting with his long-time girlfriend, according to reports.

The 32-year-old star of Aussie medical drama All Saints split with girlfriend, playwright and actress Kate Mulvany, a few weeks before checking himself into a hotel in central Sydney and committing suicide.

Sources claim that the actor had been severely depressed since the split, and wasn’t coping very well.

Police discovered Priestley’s body on a 10th floor ledge of a building next to the Swissotel hotel, where he’d checked himself in under the pseudonym Damian Barker at 11.30 a.m. According to the reports, Priestley had requested a room with a balcony on the 23rd floor.

He plunged to his death 90 minutes after checking in. It took police three hours to recover his body from the opposite building.

His former cast members are said to be in shock, with filming on the Seven Network show shutting down for the day while they come to terms with his unexpected passing.

“I don’t want anybody that’s been in my life [before] in my life anymore,” the 28-year-old explained. “I don’t even want them to have any way of contacting me.”

How does she stop them from calling? According to Jessica, she’s changed all her cell phone numbers and email addresses since her splits from ex-husband Nick Lachey and ex-boyfriend John Mayer.

That’s one was of saying f*ck you, I suppose…
