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.

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.
