Spears, Federline divorce is final

Britney Spears’ marriage to Kevin Federline officially ended Monday. “They are divorced,” the pop star’s attorney, Laura Wasser, said after a Superior Court hearing. “Everything is finalized.”

Court Commissioner Scott Gordon signed orders for dissolution of marriage, an alimony agreement and child custody.

The alimony agreement will not be made public unless there is an enforcement issue, Wasser said.

“Most of that tracks the prenup,” the attorney said, without elaborating.

The child custody order was tentatively sealed, pending an Aug. 14 hearing.

“The best interests of the children could be harmed” if the arrangement were not sealed, Gordon said.

Spears married Federline in October 2004, eight months after her first marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander was annulled. She cited irreconcilable differences when she filed for divorce from Federline on Nov. 7, 2006.

Wasser said that Spears was “OK” with the terms of the settlement but that “she would like to be with her kids more.”

Since February, Spears, 25, and Federline, 29, have shared joint custody of their two sons, 22-month-old Sean Preston and 10-month-old Jayden James.

September release about parents, played by Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Sarandon, who attempt to find their son after he returns from the war in Iraq.

Hilton Denies Marijuana Use

How long did we expect Paris Hilton to remain good and reformed for? She was off to a great start but has since fallen into more drama typical for the heiress. She is currently denying reports that witnesses saw her smoking marijuana at a Hollywood night club. She was with Cisco Adler, the ex-fiancé of a close friend of Hilton’s. How incredibly trashy is that? Paris Hilton’s rep is speaking out to the public insisting that she was not in any way smoking pot that night. When she was released from jail she told Larry King that she had never done drugs in her life. Yeah right. If anyone believes the ridiculous things that come out of her mouth they must be as bad as her. Of course she has done drugs and I’m sure she was that night. The fact is, it really isn’t anybody’s business anyway but Paris is too ashamed to say so. It’s better to just be honest and say so what rather than deny it when we all know it’s a lie.

Britney aide ticketed in Vegas scuffle

A bodyguard for Britney Spears must face a battery charge after he scuffled with two men trying to photograph the singer and her young sons at a Las Vegas Strip resort, police said Friday.

The bodyguard, Cesar Julio Camera, 37, was accused of grabbing and punching one photographer and pushing another into a wall about 11:30 a.m. Thursday at the spa at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel-casino.

Camera was issued a misdemeanor battery summons after the scuffle.

No serious injuries resulted, police said. Neither Spears, 25, nor the children 22 month old Sean Preston Federline and 10 month old Jayden James Federline — were reported to have been hurt.

“There were no signs of injuries to her or the children, nor is she listed as a victim,” Las Vegas police Sgt. John Loretto said of the singer, songwriter, dancer and actress. She is listed in police reports as a witness, along with one man and five other women.

“The only person issued a citation was Ms. Spears’ private security guard, Mr. Camera,” Loretto said.

A representative at Jive Records, Spears’ record label, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment, and a Wynn resort spokeswoman declined comment.

A lawyer for Spears’ estranged husband, Kevin Federline, also did not immediately respond to telephone and e-mail messages seeking comment on reports that Spears should not have had the children in Las Vegas. The couple are involved in divorce proceedings in California that according to several reports include restrictions on traveling out-of-state with the boys.

Michael Lohan Hits Back At ‘Lying’ Daughter Aliana

Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael has hit out at his youngest daughter Aliana, after she accused him of failing as a parent. The 13-year-old claims Michael is lying when he has claimed to be a great parent and accuses him of never being there for his kids with ex-wife Dina. I hope Aliana is taking notes on what NOT to do later in life… I may be off base here but it seems to me that the daughter is being fed comments for the media. If the family wants to heal itself and save any more children from following Lindsay I think they all ‘t be taken back. Sounds like their mother is negatively talking about the father to the children. If so, this is dangerous and unfair. What ever is happening is really going to affect Lindsay the most. This is a difficult period for her and she needs the support of her family the most. Knowing that your family is there with you in the most trying condition can really give her the confidence in herself which she is missing today.

Man arrested in Tom Cruise photo plot

An Arizona man who allegedly demanded more than $1 million not to publish Tom Cruise’s stolen wedding photographs has been arrested, the actor’s lawyer said Thursday.

David Hans Schmidt, known for brokering deals involving compromising celebrity photos and videos, approached Cruise’s representatives about six weeks ago with photos from the actor’s Italian wedding last year to Katie Holmes, attorney Bertram Fields said. The FBI was contacted.

“He was looking for money, lots of money,” Fields said.

Schmidt, 47, was arrested by federal agents Tuesday, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller, but she said the criminal complaint charging him was under seal in federal court and she refused to comment.

Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles, said a judge set bond at $100,000. Schmidt was being held Thursday at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles, according to jail records.

It was not immediately clear if Schmidt had a lawyer or how he obtained the photos.

Schmidt has also been trying to auction off Paris Hilton’s diaries, along with photos of her in various stages of undress and other personal items that had been locked away in a Los Angeles-area storage locker until a few months ago.

Hilton’s publicist, Elliot Mintz, has said the belongings were “illegally seized” from the storage facility.

Latest Bust Jeopardizes Lohan Career

Bad PR, countless court appearances and possibly jail may not be the only consequences of Lindsay Lohan’s latest legal misadventure. Maybe if Hollywood stops bending over backwards to reward “stars” for their bad behavior things would change. How many bad movies in a row do people have to make before they stop earning obscene amounts of money? How many arrests/**** tapes/nude pics/drunk outbursts/rehab stints do these “stars” get to have before they are told “enough is enough”? STOP writing about them, STOP doing entertainment shows about them, STOP giving them the spotlight and STOP throwing money at them! START showing these idiots that they don’t get a free pass because they are “stars”. “I Know Who Killed Me”…drugs and alcohol… She has just lost the fear of doing unlawful things, but being a daughter she could atleast think of what her parents might be going through at the moment, the Earth might have fallen down on them. And can the media stop writing about her, so she learns that there is no publicity for devilish acts like these.

Spears Tell All

Britney Spears has been in discussion with OK! Magazine about an exclusive tell all story. Britney made the call to the magazine’s editor in chief herself to make arrangements for an interview. Apparently Spears wants to set the record straight about the issues with her mother and her divorce. She’s also expected to talk about her short stay in rehab that resulted in the total loss of her mind. I think Britney has a few big misconceptions going on. For some reason she seems to think that we care. There was definitely a time when she was on top of the Hollywood world but those days have been over for quite a long time already. She needs to realize that the very people she is feuding with are the only ones who truly care for her and she should be grateful rather than selfish. Although, can we expect anymore from someone whose been a millionaire since she was sixteen? That’s enough to really throw off your perspective of reality.

Travolta Sues Owners Of Airport

John Travolta sued the owners of the airport outside his exclusive ”fly-in” community, claiming they lied to the Federal Aviation Administration to keep him from landing his Boeing 707 there. In the federal lawsuit filed Wednesday, the actor claims Greystone Airport owners James and Christine Garemore falsely changed the airport master record in 2006 to indicate that it could not support large airplanes. Travolta has a home at the Jumbolair Aviation Estates in Ocala and wanted to fly his Boeing 707 there. It is an affluent, 550-acre community with a $6 million runway – the largest, paved, private airfield in the United States. Not A Big Deal. The runway is an issue because of its poor condition, simply ask the residents for the money to repair it. They should certainly also ask John T. to chip in and then the Sky’s is the limit! End of Story……. He could cough up so much money for his small needs and wishes; he could easily apprise the community of the requirements at the airport and get it done with a small donation from his side.

Latest Harry Potter Book is On Sale

One minute after midnight last night the final book in the Harry Potter series went on sale. Fans all over the world were lined up at their favorite bookstore, many of them dressed as their favorite character. In the past few weeks speculation about the end of Harry Potter has been at the forefront of entertainment news. When interviews with the author, J.K. Rowling revealed an emotional and heart wrenching ending for the writer it only made curiosity soar. Now that the book is available I’m sure it won’t be long until we all know if Harry dies or not. I’m sure we can’t trust readers to keep that secret for too long. I’ll be surprised if no one just skips right to the end. Maybe now that the story is over life can get back to normal. Perhaps after the final movie the talk about Harry Potter will decrease until he is only mentioned at Halloween, like most other fantasy story characters.

Matt Damon: ‘All My Acting Heroes Are Mysterious’

Hollywood star Matt Damon has vowed to continue courting as little publicity as possible – because all his acting heroes keep their privates lives under wraps. The 36-year-old wishes there was an air of mystery around more celebrities. He tells “The better the actor, the less you know about his life.” Well very vise words from the actor but ‘better actor’ is he a self proclaiming actor, trying to say ‘I am the better actor. It’s refreshing to know that a Hollywood list-A actor is telling that he does want the crap gossip going for him in the media and he rather be mysterious to the world. I haven’t heard something like this in a while frankly and if he is serious about the thing then thumps up to him or else he better prepare for stint at a rehab, cos as soon the news spreads every other celebs in Hollywood is going to break into a laughter session freaking on these words of Matt and most are going ask if they are any different from him.

Enrique Iglesias Joins Beckham’s Fan Roster

Add one more major name to hop the David Beckham bandwagon: Enrique Iglesias. Since his arrival in the States, David has been scrutinized by fans and celebrities alike. Damn man he has just arrived and a started training so give him sometime and he will prove his metal for sure. He has played professional soccer for the 10-12 years so he knows what’s expected of him, he ain’t a jerk to have all the way to LA to prove he can play world class soccer. Enrique is from Latin America where the game is the most popular sport so and he is an avid follower, so he certainly has an opinion. But for Christ sake give him the space he requires. Under pressure to perform will bog him down more. Enrique is a great singer and performer and should stick to doing what he is best at. If is trying to encourage Beckham but it could miss fire with all the adulation that he is getting and turn the pressure on him. Let a season or two pass and let him get acquainted to America, he could blow the competition apart.

Victoria Beckham show airs in US

I really didn’t know that staying in the US is after all such a bid deal. One like Victoria has landed in USA to live there and TV channel NBC is covering her setting her home for the people to see. What utter crap these channel would do is unimaginable. Victoria Beckham has made her debut on US television as the subject of a spoof fly-on-the-wall documentary. As she is shown setting up her new home in Los Angeles, Beckham utters: “It’s exhausting being fabulous.” In the programme, Victoria Beckham Coming to America, she is shown dishing out orders to a new personal assistant, who she insists should not be too good-looking. “It’s got to be all about me,” she says. The next thing they would show is how caringly she is feeding her dogs and cats, how the children go to the school, this all so stupid wonder if the American people can sit up to watch all this. They should also show the kitchen and the wash room in her house so that we could learn something about recipes and toilet habits of the Beckham’s as well.

Dita Von Teese Loves Porn

Any woman who would consider marrying a man like Marilyn Manson must be pretty interesting herself. Manson’s latest ex burlesque star Dita Von Teese speaks out about her love of pornography. She claims that she often browses the internet looking for racy sites to catch her interest. Her belief is that it’s perfectly healthy to enjoy watching other people have sex. As long as everyone is legal age and consensual it’s normal, according to Miss Dita. I suppose that after a handful of years with Manson this is pretty normal. Anyone who has read his book from 1996 will know that he is anything but normal. For Dita to escape with no ill effect or negative influence is astounding. Enjoying a little porn is the least of her worries I’m sure. She still has the divorce to contend with.

Former Atomic Kitten singer held captive by armed gang

Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona’s house was raided by armed robbers on Sunday night . Katona and her family were locked in a room of her Cheshire home while the raiders ransacked the property. They broke into the $3 million house just before midnight, reports BBC News.Three masked men carrying a knife, sledgehammers, and crowbars broke into the home that Katona shares with husband Mark Croft in Wilmslow, England.

They kept her and their baby Heidi downstairs as they took Croft around the house looking for things to steal. Croft was later taken to join them and all were secured in the room while the robbers made their escape at about 12:30am British time.

Detectives said that the gang escaped with goods worth about $300,000 including two laptops, two gaming machines, and two televisions.

Cheshire police said the family had been left shaken but unharmed.

Katona’s publicist Max Clifford said she was in a “terrible state.”

He explained: “When I spoke to her this morning she was in floods of tears and absolutely distraught. It was a terrifying experience. Luckily they weren’t hurt, but Kerry was held at knifepoint and the robbers threatened to kill them…Kerry and Mark managed to raise the alarm afterwards, although the men had taken their mobile phones.”

Katona and her husband are yet to be interviewed by police officers, a force spokesman said. He said that it was not possible to say how the property had been broken into until formal statements had been taken.

Three CCTV cameras could be seen at the front of the house, but there were not visible signs of any break-in.

Does ‘Charlie’s Angles’ Have Cancer Curse?

Original Charlie’s Angles star Jaclyn Smith is apprehensive about the cast of the TV Series being cursed, for all of the four leading ladies that were involved in the series have fought cancer. Smith and co-star Angel Kate Jackson battled breast cancer, while john Forsythe, who voiced detective agency boss Charlie, is a colon cancer survivor. Smith’s other co-star Farrah Fawcett is currently fighting a second-round battle with the disease. Smith has said that the happening of the disease of all the four has been bothering her lately and is concerned that someone of the co-star not fall victim to cancer. This could purely be co-incidental and there is nothing like a curse on any one, or else then the three actresses that acted in the movie Charlie’s Angel namely Cameroon Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu would have reported some kinda disease suffering as well. The fact that all three are doing well and their careers are shaping up well is proof enough that there exist no curse.

DiCaprio to play Hugh Hefner in biopic

Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio may enact the character of Hugh Hefner in a forthcoming biopic on the life of the Playboy founder. DiCaprio is a good friend of Hefner and is a regular visitor to his extravagant Playboy mansion in Los Angeles. An unnamed source says: “Leo and Hugh have been friends for a long time and Leo has always been interested in Hugh’s life story. Leo thinks it would make a great movie and Hugh would love Leo to do it – on condition Hugh is alive to see it.” DiCaprio, who shot to fame for his role in ‘Titanic’, has played a number of famous personalities – like Frank Abagnale in ‘Catch Me If You Can’ and Howard Hughes in ‘The Aviator’. Ya, this chap would never be able to find another stellar role like the one in ‘Titanic’ so the best he can do is to attempt playing others is a few movies.

Criss Angel Denies Paris Rumors

Criss Angel hasn’t been having the best of luck with the press in recent weeks. Rumors have been flying surrounding the divorce dispute with his estranged wife Joanne Sarantakos. He had been linked to Cameron Diaz and both the illusionist and the actress denied their involvement. The latest story leaking out among the tabloids is that Angel is dating heiress Paris Hilton. He calls the allegations “laughable” and says that the press will do anything to pair you up with anyone. He spoke with Larry King about the false statements saying he realizes that with success comes this type of thing. Although he makes it sound like such a hassle I’m thinking that this pretty boy is actually enjoying the attention a lot. Criss Angel might be known for a lot of things but I haven’t noted modesty to be one of them. And if he was the magician he claims to be, couldn’t he just make all of the trouble disappear? Or himself at least? That’s not going to happen as long as the spotlight is on him.
