Jennifer Lopez Wins Suit






Jennifer Lopez has been awarded nearly $545,000 in a lawsuit against her first husband, Ojani Noa, over his plans to publish a tell-all book claiming she had several affairs. A court-ordered arbitrator made the decision in Lopez's breach-of-contract lawsuit against Noa, court papers indicated. The award includes $200,000 in damages, with the rest going for arbitration costs and attorneys' fees. Lopez's lawsuit claimed that Noa had violated a previous lawsuit settlement preventing him from revealing private information about their relationship.

Noa will be be directed to give Lopez or her attorney all copies of materials related to the book. The arbitration decision was disclosed when Lopez's attorney filed papers asking a Superior Court judge to confirm the award. Noa and Lopez, married in February 1997 and were divorced eleven months later. His unpublished, ghostwritten book alleges that during that time Lopez had multiple affairs, including one with her 3rd and current husband, Marc Anthony, court documents indicated. Her lawsuit claimed Noa offered not to publish the book in return for $5 million.

Noa settled the case for $125,000 and agreed not to disclose private information about their relationship or to disparage Lopez, according to court papers.

Britney Spears Visitation






Britney Spears has regained temporary visitation rights with her sons, her attorney said. "Yes, she has visitation with the children," her lawyer, Anne Kiley, said. Spears was spotted driving with the boys in the San Fernando Valley. A court-appointed monitor was in the passenger seat of the white Mercedes convertible, and her sons were in the back seat. Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon had told Spears that she could not visit her two young children without a parenting coach present until she complies with a court order. Among other things, Gordon ordered her to undergo random weekly drug testing, citing evidence that Spears engaged in "habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol." A hearing on the matter was scheduled for Oct. 26.

Paris's Trip to Rwanda Postponed






Paris Hilton's humanitarian tour of Rwanda has been postponed by the foundation that organized the trip. "Due to the restructuring of the Playing for Good Foundation, the philanthropic trip to Rwanda that the foundation had previously planned with Paris Hilton has been postponed," the organization said in a statement. Playing for Good Foundation is a children's charity. On Hilton's itinerary were visits to schools and health-care clinics "Paris has been a loyal and gracious supporter of Playing for Good, but the foundation has to regrettably reschedule this trip," the organization said. "Playing for Good would like to thank Ms. Hilton for her generosity and her continued support of this initiative and is looking forward to rescheduling the trip with her at a later time." Hilton announced last month she was planning a trip to Rwanda, the scene of genocide in 1994, because she hoped she could raise awareness about what people can do to help those in need. Hilton says she'll visit Rwanda next year. "I know (Rwanda) went through a lot of traumatic experiences, and I feel like if I go there, I can help save some people's lives," Hilton says. Even though her trip to Rwanda has been postponed, Hilton is still determined to use her celebrity status for good causes. "I want to travel the world," she says. "I feel like there's a lot I can do, and a lot I can do to help."

Spears Booked






Britney Spears, accompanied by pal Sam Lufti and her lawyer, J. Michael Flanagan, reported to a Los Angeles police station to face misdemeanor charges of hit and run and driving without a valid license, police said. Officer Mike Lopez said Spears turned herself in around 9 p.m. and left about 45 minutes later. "Spears was fingerprinted and photographed," he said. "She was fine, cooperative," Lopez said. "She did her business and came out." As she left the station, she said that all went smoothly. "They were nice," she said of the police. The charges stem from an Aug. 6 wreck during which paparazzi filmed Spears steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. The video showed her walking away after assessing the damage to her own car. The owner of the other car, Kim Robard-Rifkin, filed a police report three days later. Spears had been ordered to report for booking before an Oct. 25 court appearance.

Campbell Settles Suit






Naomi Campbell has settled one of several civil suits filed by one of her former personal assistants. Campbell decided she'd rather pay a settlement rather than undergo another damaging court battle over her fighting ways. She has settled a civil suit filed by a former personal assistant who claimed Campbell smacked her bloody with a jewel-encrusted BlackBerry in 2005, court papers revealed. Amanda Brack also claimed Campbell spat on her and even threw her passport into a hotel pool during a heated argument while on a trip to Morocco. Terms were not revealed, and neither Campbell nor Brack had anything to say about the settlement, which a Manhattan Supreme Court judge approved. Campbell had to join a Sanitation Department cleanup crew in March to fulfill a community service sentence from a previous violent argument with another former employee.

The 'Sex and the City' movie began shooting. The much-anticipated film, based on the hit TV series, with its four main stars, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, and Kim Cattrall began filming in New York City with a release date set for next year. Speculation had been Rife there will be a movie of the show ever since it ended in 2004 after six successful seasons. Earlier this year, Cattrall, said: "With regard to a movie, I really can't say. There is a lot of speculation but, just put it this way, I don't want to jinx anything." Parker, who played columnist Carrie Bradshaw, has reprised her famous role, saying: "Never say never. It was such a great show it would be fantastic to go back." Parker said: "It is a very complicated puzzle to put back, not for the reason that people speculate about because as far as I know all of the actresses want to be together again for this movie."

Brooke Shields Claustrophobic






Brooke Shields has ruled out plastic surgery because she hates the thought of being 'trapped' by fake breasts and facelift procedures. Shields played a sex therapist in the plastic surgery drama 'Nip/Tuck'last season and has tried Botox in the past, but she insists cosmetic enhancement is not something she'd be comfortable with. She says, "I tried, like, Botox in my forehead. I got so claustrophobic. I would get claustrophobia if I had breast implants. I'd be like, 'Get them out, get them out.' My husband's very upset about that though. It's a very foreign, man-made object in your body. I'm also attached to my face. It's been around in the public eye for so long."

Sara Evans Granted Divorce






After a year of nasty allegations, country singer Sara Evans was granted a divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. Judge R.E. Lee Davies announced the agreement at a hearing. The two sides agreed on a joint custody plan for their three children and a split of marital assets. Evans also agreed to pay ex-husband Craig Schelske alimony of at least $500,000 over 10 years. "Both parties are fully committed to raising their children in a cooperative and positive way. Both parties are loving and caring parents," said a brief statement filed with the court by the lawyers for both sides. "They request that everyone respect the family's privacy." Evans filed for divorce last October after 13 years of marriage, alleging that Schelske committed adultery, was verbally and emotionally abusive, drank excessively and frequently watched pornography in their home. Schelske denied all the allegations and responded in court documents that Evans filed for divorce the same day he discovered she was having an extramarital affair. Evans denied those claims.

Britney Spears Charged






Britney Spears legal woes mounted as prosecutors charged her with misdemeanor counts of hit and run and driving without a valid license after she allegedly smashed her car into another in a parking lot in August. "She could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for each count," said Nick Velasquez, spokesman for the city attorney's office. "The accident occurred Aug. 6," Velasquez said. Spears was filmed by paparazzi that day crashing her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. After assessing the damage to her own car only, she was shown on the paparazzi video walking away. "Three days after the accident, the owner of the other vehicle, Kim Robard-Rifkin, filed a police report, and investigators later determined that Spears does not have a valid license," officials said. Robard-Rifkin learned it was Spears who had hit her car through a video that was posted on a celebrity web site. She said she was "sort of amused and sort of shocked" when she learned Spears was the source of the damage, adding that she had expected to hear from Spears or one of her representatives. "I simply want my car fixed, the same as I would fix somebody's car if I had done that," Robard-Rifkin said. Spears was scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 10.

Naomi Campbell's Violent Past






A judge has ruled Naomi Campbell's violent past can be used against her in a new lawsuit filed by a former employee. Gaby Gibson alleged she had been attacked by Campbell, just a month after Campbell was arrested for throwing a mobile phone at ex-maid Ana Scolavino . Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michael Stallman has ruled past altercations involving Campbell's stormy temper can potentially be used against her. In the alleged January 2006 attack on Gibson over a missing pair of jeans, Campbell is quoted as saying, "I've had it with you, f&%king bitch," before allegedly kicking the back of the maid's head. Gibson is "very happy with the court's decision", according to her attorney Lambros Lambrou. The lawsuit claims Campbell repeatedly hit Gibson while yelling 'discriminatory comments' at her. Campbell denies the claims.

Britney Spears Changes Lawyers






Britney Spears ia about to fire the new lawyer in her custody battle, after just one day in the job. Spears is currently embroiled in a bitter battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline over the care of their two sons.. Spears' former lawyer, Laura Wasser quit with reports suggesting the attorney found Britney a "problem client". Melvin Goldsman was named as Wasser's replacement, but Spears is considering firing him, according to high-profile divorce lawyer Sorrell Trope. Trope claims he has been chosen as Goldsman's replacement. He says, "Yes, it's true Ms. Spears quit Melvin Goldsman's firm, but we haven't been officially retained yet. The paperwork has not been signed, and it has to have our firm's, Goldsman's, and Ms. Spears's signatures. I anticipate it will be signed." Meanwhile, Federline is "happy" with the judge Scott Gordon's decision to order Spears to undergo twice-weekly random drugs testing after he raised concern about her apparent "habitual, frequent, and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol." Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan says "It would appear the court wanted to stabilize the status quo, but also implement orders that give as much protection to the kids until the court has the benefit of the evaluations. Kevin is happy the case is moving forward in a positive direction."

Britney Spears Hates Underwear






Britney Spears has shocked again, flashing her panty-less private parts at a paparazzi photographer after her performance at MTV Video Music Awards. Spears exposed herself while stepping into an awaiting limousine after leaving Las Vegas' Bellagio hotel, where she partied after her embarrassing awards show performance. While she was slammed for performing the opening act at the VMAs in a skimpy outfit, she made headlines for taking them off later, when she was caught without her panties by a WENN photographer. It's not the first time Spears has been caught without underwear. In November of last year, Spears revealed all to a photographer during a night out with party pal Paris Hilton, just two months after giving birth to her second child. Spears' most recent gaffe came just hours after she disappointed the VMA audience with a disjointed and critically panned comeback performance of her new single 'Gimme More,' her first major public appearance in four years. A bystander said, "What is she thinking? She's a mother of two and here she is flashing her goods to the world!"

Britney Spears Bombs






Britney Spears kicked off the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night with her new single, "Gimme More," looking bleary and unprepared. An out-of-shape, out-of-touch Spears delivered what was destined to be the most talked about performance of the MTV Video Music Awards, but for all the wrong reasons. She lazily walked through her dance moves with little enthusiasm. It appeared she had forgotten the entire art of lip-synching; and, perhaps most unforgivable given her once taut frame, she looked embarrassingly out of shape. MTV hyped Spears appearance as the evening's most anticipated performance, but it became the most shockingly bad of the night. Jive Records might want to push back that Nov. 13 album release date.

Vanessa Hudgens Apologizes






Vanessa Hudgens also posed for sexy photographs for former boyfriend Drake Bell before she was famous, claims a source. The candid mirror-image shots of Hudgens began circulating on the internet last week were allegedly intended for her boyfriend and 'High School Musical' co-star Zac Efron's eyes only, but an unknown third party stole the pictures and put them on the internet. Reportedly, this isn't the first time Hudgens posed naked for a boyfriend. Hudgens emailed racy shots to her former boyfriend several years ago. A representative for Bell denies the controversial pictures were ever received by him. Jill Fritzo says, "Drake says he never received those photos." Hudgens said in a statement, "I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends."

Vanessa Hudgens' representative has confirmed that a nude photo circulating on the Internet is indeed the star of the extremely popular 'High School Musical' movies. "This was a photo which was taken privately," said Jill Fritzo, Hudgens' publicist. "It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public." The National Enquirer was the first to report of the photo's existence, and it has since surfaced on various web sites. The photo shows Hudgens standing naked in what appears to be a bedroom, with a red curtain behind her. Sources have also denied a published report that Hudgens will be dropped from the upcoming feature film 'High School Musical 3.' That movie is in development and negotiations with the stars are incomplete. Hudgens portrayed Gabriella, the brainy love interest of Zac Efron's basketball star character in the first two 'High School Musical' made-for-cable movies. The two are said to be dating in real life.

Gainsbourg Has Surgery






Actress Charlotte Gainsbourg is "doing fine" and recovering from a brain hemorrhage in a Paris hospital, says her husband, Yvan Attal. She was taken to the Clinique Monceau in Paris, France late on Wednesday and was operated on by brain specialist Stephanie Delajoux. Late Wednesday, she was still in a coma, but out of danger. Delajoux says, "The operation went well and she is not at risk anymore." Gainsbourg had been suffering from headaches for several weeks following a waterskiing accident in the US last month. Thursday afternoon, Attal said his wife was improving. He said, "She is doing fine. I spoke to her, she replied and I kissed her. She is fine. It's not as bad as the media says it is. She may be able to leave the hospital within the next couple of days."

Paris Hilton Sells Home






Paris Hilton sold her 1926 Spanish-style Hollywood Hills home for $4.25 million. Hilton is buying a larger home in a gated community or, one with a long gated driveway, according to her aunt and informal spokeswoman, Kyle Richards. Hilton bought the four-bedroom residence in 2004 for about $2.9 million, during the second season of her reality show, 'The Simple Life.' She redecorated the interior in black and white and transformed one bedroom into a walk-in closet and another into a security control room. During Hilton's recent legal woes, her home was the center of a media invasion that was upsetting her neighbors. The throng of reporters and paparazzi staked out the home above Sunset Boulevard, capturing her move from jail to home and back again. The onslaught caused some residents to circulate a letter advising neighbors to call police about the noise and traffic. Richards, says their discomfort was not a factor in Paris' decision to sell. "I'm sure they'll be happy to see the paparazzi go, but that had nothing to do with it," Richards says. "She can't control the people who are outside."

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been caught taking drugs in rehab. She was allegedly forced to undergo a drug test by the staff at Utah's Cirque Lodge facility, and the results came back positive. Lohan has now been warned if she does not stay clean she will be thrown out of the center. A source claims, "Lindsay got called into the director's office and was questioned about drugs. When ordered to take a drug test, she reluctantly complied but screamed and cursed at the medical director before storming out the room. She was told that if she couldn't conform to the program she'd have to leave." According to reports, this is not Lohan's first indiscretion since entering Cirque Lodge earlier this month. She was reportedly caught having sex in a toilet stall with a male patient, who is also at Cirque for drug rehab. She is reportedly frequently late to meetings and refuses to do any chores or menial tasks such as toilet cleaning duties. Lohan entered the rehab center following her arrest after a high-speed car chase in Santa Monica. She was in possession of cocaine when she was taken into custody. Last week, Lindsay pleaded guilty to two charges of being under the influence of a controlled substance (cocaine) and pleaded no contest to two charges of DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol). She also pleaded no contest to one charge of reckless driving. After entering her plea bargain, she was sentenced to one day in jail and 36 months probation for her offences and ordered to undergo an 18-month alcohol rehabilitation program. This is Lohan's third stint in rehab. She previously stayed at the Wonderland and Promises facilities in Los Angeles.

Paris Hilton has reached a settlement in a $10 million defamation lawsuit between her and diamond heiress-actress Zeta Graff. In the suit, Graff claimed that Hilton spread "vicious lies" about her to the media in 2005. Both sides reached an "amicable resolution," but the details were kept confidential, according to a statement released by Graff's attorney, Bruce Broillet. "Both parties are glad that the matter could be resolved without the time and expense of a trial," Broillet said in the statement. In the suit, Graff claimed that Hilton spread the lies about her to the New York Post. The Post reported that Graff, who once dated Hilton's then-fiancee, Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, went "berserk" at a nightclub, tried to strangle Hilton and attempted to steal her diamond necklace. Graff denied the report and claimed that Hilton said, "I'm going to destroy you" after trying to oust her from the club, according to the suit. Hilton denied that she was behind the report. Hilton's former publicist, Rob Shuter, said in a deposition that Hilton asked him to help plant the story and that he gave the paper comments, dictated by Hilton, that he attributed to himself, Hilton and anonymous sources.

Scarlett Johansson has laughed off claims she will play porn star Jenna Jameson in a Hollywood biopic. Jameson prompted reports recently when she said of Johansson's performance in 'Lost In Translation,', "I remember thinking to myself, 'this girl has such a sexuality without even really trying to be sexy. I was like, 'This girl could play me.'" "I love her. She's amazing. She's smart, she's funny. She's stunning. I don't want someone who's going to go in there and be like bouncing around. I want someone who can bring some depth." But Johansson says she knows nothing of the film project, based on Jameson's book "How to Make Love Like A Porn," which is to be titled "Heartbreaker." Johansson's representative says, "Scarlett has never seen a script nor been approached about this project. She also has no interest in playing this role."

Vivica A. Fox has been barred from drinking alcohol, just one sip could bring her back in front of the judge. In Los Angeles County Superior Court, a judge ordered Fox to stay sober until her September arraignment, but didn't bar her from associating with those who are drinking. "She can be around alcohol because of the nature of her work" the judge said, adding "but she cannot consume or possess it. I am not permitting her to consume alcohol." If Fox does drink, she could be forced to hand over thousands in bail money, due to the fact that she was originally released on her own recognizance. Fox was arrestedfor DUI in March, after she raced past the police at a high rate of speed on the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles. She reportedly registered .09 on a Breathalyzer test, just over the .08 legal limit. If convicted, Fox faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Lindsay's Wild Ride






The men who say they were unwilling passengers on Lindsay Lohan’s wild ride through Santa Monica have retained a lawyer who said he hopes to resolve the case without hauling her into court. Attorney Randall Billington said that he has been retained by Dante Nigro and Jakon Sutter, who say they pleaded with Lohan to stop as she raced along the Pacific Coast Highway at 100 mph. He is also representing Ronnie Blake, who says Lohan drove Nigro's SUV over his foot as she raced off. "Some people think a discussion should begin with 'I'll see you in court.' I don't believe that," said Billington, adding he hoped the situation could be resolved amicably. He also expressed concern for the well-being of Lohan, who was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence and cocaine possession at the end of the ride. "From my clients' point of view, they want to see a good outcome to that story for her," he said. Shortly before the chase began, Nigro said, Lohan's personal assistant got into an argument with her boyfriend and then Lohan. At that point, Nigro said, Lohan snatched his keys, which were still in the ignition of his SUV, jumped into the driver's seat and gave chase. As the car accelerated, Blake said, he managed to jump out, but the vehicle ran over his foot. As Lohan raced after her assistant, Nigro and Sutter said, the car reached speeds of 100 mph. "So we start pleading with her, 'Can you please stop the car,'" Sutter said. "I was honestly terrified," Nigro added. "I really thought we were going to crash and I really thought we were going to get severely hurt or all of us were going to die." After Lohan's assistant got away, Nigro said, Lohan raced to the Santa Monica home of the former assistant's mother. The mother, seeing a strange car arrive as she was returning home, fled in a Cadillac Escalade and called police. "At this point the Escalade's flying, we're flying, we're probably going 80 miles per hour in residential Santa Monica," Nigro said. The chase ended when the Woman stopped near the Santa Monica police station and Lohan was arrested. As she spoke with police, Nigro said, Lohan tried to implicate Sutter. "We can hear her saying, 'No, no, I wasn't driving, the black kid was driving,'" he said.

Federline Divorce Final






Britney Spears and Kevin Federline will officially divorce today. Spears' lawyer, Laura Wasser, and Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, went to court with the final papers to get a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge to sign-off on the settlement, making the divorce final. Wasser will make a motion to keep the custody and spousal support orders secret. Federline is reportedly receiving $15,000 a month from Spears for child support. He's also reportedly getting $20,000 a month in spousal support, but that's based on the prenup, and it appears the alimony payments will come to an end in November. As for custody arrangement for the couple's two sons, it will stay at 50/50. Neither Spears nor Federline are happy with the custody arrangement, and either of them can go back to court and ask for a change. Federline won't even speak to Spears, so they will probably be back in court asking the judge to make decisions about child rearing. There are reports that Federline may go to court soon to get full custody. Sources say he has signed-off on the 50/50 custody split. He may not be happy, but it doesn't seem he's ready for all-out war either.

Snake Is Real






Posing naked for a publicity photo for her Showtime comedy series 'Weeds' was no big deal for Mary-Louise Parker. It was the snake that bothered her.

"And actually, I grew to really love the snake by the end of the day." Parker is shown with the snake over her shoulder and down her back in the ad.

Spears' Video Shoot






Britney Spears apparently suffered another breakdown on the set of her new music video, with production grinding to a halt after she began "sobbing hysterically" during a pole dance routine. Spears was shooting the video for her new single 'Give Me More' in Los Angeles, but had been holding up filming with her unwillingness to co-operate with the crew while taking hour-long breaks in between production. Onlookers claim Spears appeared "disorientated" throughout the shoot, before becoming paranoid when she performed her sexy dance routine. A source claims, "Britney was completely uncooperative and left everyone hanging around when she went for an hour's massage, twice." "She was rude and she chain-smoked and drank an enormous amount of Red Bull throughout the shoot." "She had a problem with the extras watching her pole dance and suddenly she was in floods of tears. It was sad to witness."

'Judd Shocked'






Country star Wynonna Judd was left in a state of shock when she found out her husband D.R. Roach was arrested for aggravated sexual battery against a minor earlier this year. Judd filed for divorce from Roach just days after he was arrested and charged with three counts of battery against a 13-year-old in March. Judd couldn't believe her husband of four years was involved in such activity. She describes her reaction as one of "disbelief and shock," adding, "These are things that you read about and see on the news about people, and you think to yourself, 'Never in my family.'" Judd still has contact with her husband, and is finding it tough to stop wearing her wedding ring. She says, "It is hard to just detach overnight. I'm healing in my own time. And so I do wear my ring. We see each other and communicate through our lawyers and mediator. There are still personal and professional details to make decisions about." The couple, who married in 2003, had been estranged since December, and Roach entered rehab to battle alcoholism in February.

He wasn't on the field or sidelines for the first 15 minutes of practice and Patriots spokesman Stacey James said he didn't know when Brady would rejoin the team. Brady had said earlier this week that he would like a few days off for the birth of his first child, calling the event "a very joyous, happy situation." It was unknown if he arrived before the baby was born.
