Paris Hilton’s Hair Extension Legal Battle Lengthens to $70 Million
TMZ reports that Hairtech International recently adjusted their lawsuit to the amount of $70 million instead of the original $35 million in profit compensation.
The company asserts that Paris did not live up to her end of the bargain in promoting and actually wearing the hair extensions, costing them millions in lost profit.
Hairtech also states that when Paris was sent to jail in 2007, she automatically breached the arrangement, in which she was paid $3.5 million.
Paris allegedly even wore a different company’s hair extensions when she had agreed to promote Hairtech’s merchandise.

Lady Gaga, Most Charitable Star Of 2010
Charitable star of 2010 Lady Gaga, strongly called for the removal of law of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" earlier this year and also told her fans to take action against the military policy. youth icon Lady Gaga has also hosted many marriage equality events to support same-sex marriages. Lady Gaga is currently the face of MAC Viva Glam cosmetics, the net proceeds of which are allotted to prevent HIV/AIDS worldwide.
Despite her ill-conceived and globally lambasted Digital Death campaign, Alicia Keys bagged second place. Through the campaign, keys was able to raise $1.1 million because of the financial support of a billionaire. Alicia Keys' dedication to the charity to Keep a Child Alive even today, has remained, unquestioned. She and husband Swizz Beatz adopted a South African village where they plan to build schools and provide support for the residents. Taylor Swift came third for raising funds for the Nashville flood relief efforts this year, donating $500,000 from her earnings. At four and five are husband and wife team Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore and comedienne and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

Lindsay Lohan out as star in Lovelace biopic
Aside from rehab, that is.
Although Tattle was unconvinced the Lovelace biopic "Inferno" was ever going to happen - with or without Lindsay - writer-director Matthew Wilder now says his production team is negotiating with another actress and will make an announcement soon.
(People magazine says Malin Akerman of "The Heartbreak Kid" has agreed to take on the role.)
With any casting change there's always oodles of speculation, but casts change in movies that haven't been greenlit more often than Lindsay changes lawyers.
Some media reports say Lindsay quit to focus on her court-ordered rehab for drug addiction (that's Lindsay's version); others say Wilder wanted her replaced as she may have been uninsurable (that's his version).
Whatever the reason, Lindsay can now try to get a role in a sitcom like we've been suggesting - she needs to do something light - and try to get her career back on track with regular hours and regular castmates plus an opportunity to live at home and go to rehab meetings.
Lindsay is expected to be in rehab in Southern California until at least Jan. 3.
Another positive for Lindsay is that she and her annoying, fame-whore father, Michael, seem to be making progress.
According to TMZ.com, father and daughter spent the entire week together at the Betty Ford Clinic as part of family week. Each attended therapy sessions, first individually and then together.
TMZ says Michael, Lindsay and Betty Ford counselors want Lindsay's annoying, fame-whore mother, Dina, to join them for sessions at next month's family week.
So far no word from Dina except that she doesn't want to attend any sessions with Michael.
If ever two people needed sessions together . . .
As for Thanksgiving, since Lindsay will not be allowed to leave California, TMZ says she'll be talking turkey with her daddy.
Michael wants Dina and the other Lohan kids to join them, but Dina is not yet ready for detente.
Besides, having the two of them and a carving instrument in the same room seems unnecessarily risky.
Snooki Slams Kim Kardashian — She Was Rude To Skip My Birthday Party!
It looks like Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi may be creating drama with a pretty big reality star — Kim Kardashian! While celebrating her 23rd birthday at NYC club Pacha, the Jersey Shore star apparently told a friend, “it was rude,” for Kim to skip the party according to Radar Online. Ummm, did you really expect her to stop by Snooks?
Snooki did manage to drag out a crowd that included Sean Kingston, Kat de Luna and cast mate Jennifer ‘J-Woww’ Farley and enjoyed a personalized cake from the boys of Cake Boss.
One reason Kim may have been a no-show, she and sisters Khloe and Kourtney ran into some trouble when they skipped out early from a Mastercard event held at the same hotspot!
Eva Longoria: More Bad News
Several weeks ago it was announced that the “Desperate Housewives” star would be hosting the annual ALMA Awards, as she does each year, but turns out this year’s show has been canceled.
One of the show’s producers, Delia de la Vara, told Latina Magazine, "We're working toward a 2011 fall broadcast of the show during Hispanic Heritage Month.”
She continued, "Eva's been part of our core team on the production for the ALMAs, so she will be a part of the awards as she has been for the past four years."

Taylor Swift Album Is a Sales Triumph
The album, the third and latest by Ms. Swift — still a month shy of her 21st birthday — sold 1,047,000 copies in the United States in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, making it the fastest-selling new record in five years. It is also the first to get opening-week sales of a million since Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter III,” which squeezed over the line in 2008 with 1,006,000.
On Wednesday, after several days of uncharacteristic silence on her Twitter feed, Ms. Swift wrote to her 4.5 million followers: “I ...Can’t... Believe ... This ... You guys have absolutely lit up my world. Thank you.”
Selling a million records in one week has always been big news; according to Billboard it has happened only 16 times since 1991. But Ms. Swift’s tally was orders of magnitude greater than anything else now in stores. Last week “Speak Now” sold more than the next 61 titles on the chart combined, and almost 11 times more than its nearest competitor, Sugarland’s “Incredible Machine” (Mercury Nashville), which had 89,000. “Speak Now” accounted for 18 percent of all album sales last week, and individual tracks from it have been downloaded 2.5 million times.
Ms. Taylor’s success has capped a notable year for country music, with a streak of recent No. 1’s on the Billboard album chart and Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” the second-best seller of the year so far. But as many in the music industry see it, “Speak Now” proves that Ms. Swift has transcended the limitations of genre and become a pop megastar, period, with even apparent setbacks — like Kanye West’s outburst at the MTV Video Music Awards last year — ultimately working to expand her celebrity.
“Her songwriting appeals to the broadest demo of music buyers right now: teens,” said Ken Ehrlich, the longtime producer of the Grammy Awards. “And she’s incredibly positive and nonthreatening. Having Kanye confront her added millions of people on her side, even people who didn’t see the incident on MTV but saw it repeated endlessly after the show.”
Ms. Swift deserves most of the credit for her success of course. This year she won four Grammys, including album of the year, and critics have mostly praised her new album, calling it canny, catchy country-pop about growing up in public. A master blogger and Twitterer, she has established herself as a prime star for the social media age.
“She’s writing her life story with a series of songs, carrying us from her teenage years into her 20s,” said Jim Donio, president of the National Association of Recording Merchandisers, which represents music retailers. “She has made herself accessible, utilizing all the tools of the modern marketplace. It’s an interesting creative story and an interesting marketing story.”
To promote the album Ms. Swift’s label, Big Machine, had an extensive and high-profile marketing campaign, parts of which were in the works for as long as two years, said Scott Borchetta, the label’s president. Target offered a deluxe version of the album at its stores, supporting it with television commercials, and she held a literacy event that was broadcast to 25,000 classrooms. Last week Ms. Swift blitzed through the network TV talk shows, gave a private performance for contest winners that was broadcast online, and even played a semiprivate show at a JetBlue terminal at Kennedy International Airport in New York.
In an interview on Tuesday, as news of the album’s sales spread through the industry, Mr. Borchetta praised both his marketing plan and his artist. “It’s one thing to have a plan,” he said. “But we have the artist and the music to back it up.”
Perhaps the clearest sign that the music industry as a whole — and Nashville in particular — has embraced Ms. Swift as a new force to be reckoned with is that competing record labels have scheduled a wave of high-profile country releases for the last few months of the year, hoping that some of the popularity of “Speak Now” will rub off.
This week Brad Paisley released a hits collection, next week comes a new one from Reba McEntire, and the week after brings two more big country names, Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts (also on Big Machine). In recent weeks, much-awaited titles by Sugarland, the Zac Brown Band and Toby Keith have also come out.
“The reality is, when you have a hit album, it brings people into the stores,” said David Ross, editor and publisher of the country trade magazine Music Row. “When the traffic is going to grow, you want to be there.”
How long Ms. Swift can dominate the chart, though, is unclear. Healthy numbers are predicted for the new Susan Boyle album, out on Tuesday, and on Nov. 22 there are great expectations for Ms. Swift’s old nemesis: Kanye West.

Heidi & Spencer to file for Bankruptcy
The newly-reunited couple, who filed for a divorce dismissal in September (10), claim they owe $2 million (£1.3 million) in taxes and have been forced to move out of their luxurious California home, taking up residence with Pratt's parents.
The Hills stars claim they wasted $10 million (£6.7 million) on various extravagances including Montag's disastrous pop career and her numerous cosmetic surgeries, as well as six cars, designer clothes and trips on private jets.
And Pratt admits they should have been more careful with their money, telling Life & Style magazine, "We were immature, worrying too much about the famous part instead of the actual business part. In hindsight, we shouldn't have spent any of our money. We should have been low-key and saved. We spoke with a bankruptcy attorney and I've looked into unemployment checks.
"We thought The Hills was going to be like 90210 and we'd have another five to 10 years... Our cast was a bit boring and snoozeworthy... No wonder we got cancelled... My parents are my lifeline."

Tila Tequila Sex Tape Extortion Case Loss; Pictures Exposed Online (Photos)
On Thursday, the celebrity socialite went to court but lost, RadarOnline reported. The judge felt that the Myspace celebrity, MTV star and model is always exploiting her sexuality and rejected the argument at the hearing.
Meanwhile, check out a few photos of Tila Tequila who looks to be romping some man and photos of her lying topless on the beach. Hopefully she didn’t get some poor dude to agree to do this just for the sake of publicity.
In August, Tila Tequila was attacked by a booing crowd of Juggalo fans who slapped her upside the head with feces, bottles, stones and lit firecrackers. Her approval rating was down by that much and many know that she’ll do just about anything to get your watchful eyes.

Lady Gaga smothers herself in fake blood as she transforms into gun-toting Cruella de Vil
But the star went all out for the actual occasion.
The kooky singer was spotted doing her own take on dastardly Disney villain Cruella de Vil.
Wearing a black and white wig and oversize sunglasses, Gaga's long dalmatian print coat was left open to reveal sexy black underwear with a trail of fake blood splashed over her neck and chest.
The 24-year-old was on her way to a private party in Belfast, where she is currently on tour.
She was flanked by a number of people in costume, including ladies dressed as dalmatians.
Gaga also sported a fake gun as part of her ensemble.
She has been busy touring Europe and has also found time to record a duet with Sir Elton John.
The track, called Hello Hello, will feature in a new Disney film Gnomeo and Juliet.
Cruella de Vil was made famous in the 1961 film 101 Dalmatians as the villain who kidnapped dalmatian puppies for their fur.
She was later immortalised by Glen Close in the 1996 film and the 2000 sequel 102 Dalmatians.

Tara Reid gets REALLY dolled up for Halloween in a tiny Barbie costume
The American Pie actress, who has turned to plastic surgery in her quest for the perfect figure, dressed as her apparent icon, Barbie, for a party at New York's Cipriani Downtown restaurant.
She went the extra mile, donning a thatch of extra hair that matched her own long platinum locks.
The 34year-old wore a pink Barbie-themed corset and matching handbag, finished with a ruffled black tutu and black ribbon-strapped heels.
Her silver Barbie nameplate pendant on a black ribbon added a touch of authenticity, making her look just like the real thing.
Tara wasn't alone in her shenanigans last night either.
Anna Hathaway attended a party at the Lanvin boutique in New York, apparently dressed as a leopard in a baggy printed jumpsuit with a purple mask, while Janet Jackson wore a pencil-thin moustache with her all-black outfit.
Tara was looking healthier last night in comparison to her recent skinny, pale appearance.
With a history of addiction and rehab, the actress has openly admitted to her problems in the past.
In December last year, she spent 60 days at Promises rehab clinic in Malibu, California, known for its celebrity clients.
Also her weight has been a worrying problem, with her figure often teetering on the scary skinny side.
But earlier this year Tara claimed she was healthy and back on track.
She told In Touch Weekly magazine: 'Rehab saved my life. Before, I used to think about tomorrow and I hated it. Now I can't wait.
'The hardest thing was walking through the door for the first time [and] finally admitting that I had a problem.
'My focus is to get back in my career and stay sober, and keep on having a better life one day at a time.'

Katie Price: Alex felt so right...it didn't matter we'd only just met
Since meeting and marrying Alex, she has felt far more mellow, mature, secure, loved - and much happier.
Here, in the second part of our exclusive excerpts from her new autobiography, You Only Live Once, mother-of-three Katie, 32, explains how cagefighter Alex has finally tamed her.
'After splitting with Pete I'd begun to feel no man would ever want me again. So it felt like a huge deal that Alex wanted to be with me.
He saw very quickly what I'm really like. I can be a bitch when it comes to my work and business, but in my personal life I'm completely different.
Alex instinctively understood how insecure I am, how I need to be cuddled, how I need so much reassurance and love.
We both knew very early on we'd fallen in love with each other. Within a matter of weeks we were talking about getting married and having children.
We first "met" on Facebook. My friend was going to bring a couple of cute guys from the gym along to my friend Michelle Heaton's birthday party.
Then he emailed me: "Change of plan. I'm asking my friend Alex Reid. Trust me, Kate, I think you'll like him."
He sent me the link to Alex's Facebook page. I couldn't really tell what he looked like from his profile picture so I requested him as a friend.
I think I sent my message on a Wednesday and only heard back from him on Friday. Two whole days later! "That's a bit cheeky," I thought.
Finally Alex did get in touch and we exchanged a series of messages. Ever the straight talker, I asked him what he liked in a girl but his replies were frustratingly unflirtatious and nor did he text me that much. "Maybe he's just not interested," I thought, feeling disappointed.
Being left by someone doesn't exactly do wonders for your self-confidence. I so wanted Alex to like me and find me attractive. And, yes, to fancy me because I admit that even from the brief contact we had had, I fancied him.
On July 18, 2009, the night of Michelle's party, when I turned round and saw Alex for the first time I thought, "Wow, he really is gorgeous!"
Right from the start, there was a strong attraction between us.
You can always tell, can't you? You get that butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling, where you want to give them all your attention and to know that they're giving you all theirs.
I've never been into one-night stands. I've always had relationships. And I've always made the guy wait a month before I sleep with him, wanting to know that he respects me and it isn't just about having sex with Katie Price or Jordan.
But I didn't feel that I needed to be like that with Alex. Even though I'd only just met him, something told me things were going to be serious between us.
And so, just hours after meeting for the first time, we spent the night together. Without going into detail, I can tell you that the sex was good, really good.
I did have a moment's panic when I thought, "Oh, no! I've blown it. He won't want to see me again because I've slept with him on the first date. He'll think that I'm a dirtbag."
But that concern quickly faded. Being with Alex felt so right that it didn't matter we'd only just met. And, after all, was there anything to be ashamed of?
My husband had walked out on me, my marriage had ended. I was newly single and free to do whatever I liked, with whomever I liked.
The first time in my entire life that I slept with a man on a first date, I ended up marrying him! I can't help feeling that my wedding to Pete had been more like a show. I was in love with him, and wanted to marry him, but we seemed to get overtaken by the big event that our wedding became.
Whereas my wedding to Alex, in Las Vegas on February 2, was far more intimate and laid-back. We went with the flow. It was just about us, no one else, and it was so romantic.
There was no glossy magazine deal, I hadn't wanted that. I wanted everything about this wedding to be as different as possible from my first one.
So there was no endless posing for formal pictures. When I saw the photographs of our wedding the following day, I was struck by how incredibly happy and carefree I looked - just the way a bride is supposed to be.
Alex definitely changed my outlook on life. Being with him was making me feel calmer and more chilled out. He's quite a spiritual person who is into meditation and yoga.
Right from the start I felt that we had a very equal relationship. Alex is a professional fighter and he is very good at what he does. I have my work, and the two worlds are kept separate.
Since being with him, I decided to cut back on the interviews I did. I was sick of the gossipy slanging matches I'd got involved with in the past. I didn't want to do any more trashy interviews slagging other people off.
I realised that I didn't want to hate anyone any more or be drawn into tit-for-tat slanging matches with other celebs. It doesn't get you anywhere, being bitter and twisted. Life is too short and I just want mine to be happy.
If I did interviews I wanted them to be based around things that were actually worth talking about. I wanted to be more mature, to concentrate on doing things with the kids, on my relationship with Alex, on my business interests and on my horse riding. I wanted to be happy.
Alex and I are not jealous of each other's past at all. He accepts mine and I accept his. But he also doesn't put up with any s**t from me.
For instance, early on when we went out together and I did my thing of having a few drinks and then going off and chatting to other people - and, yes, I admit it, maybe flirting a little bit with the guys - Alex wouldn't stand for it.
There was no big scene. He simply said very calmly, in a way which told me he absolutely meant it, "Don't treat me like that. I'll only tell you once and then it doesn't matter how much I like you, I will walk away. Of course I don't mind you talking to other people... but I don't expect you to blank me."
That told me! And do you know what? I loved the fact that he'd got the measure of my character.
It did make me wonder if I'd ended up losing respect for Pete in our marriage when I stopped listening to him. I respect Alex, and because of that I listen to everything he says.
All I want to do is be a good mum, have a good relationship with Alex and buckle down to my work and my horse riding. I feel as if I've turned over a new leaf.
Alex is the love of my life. I know people will say, "Oh, yeah, we've heard that one before". And, yes, you have heard it before - I was in love before! But who says you can't fall in love again?
Alex accepts me for who I am. He's my knight in shining armour. He has made me realise what's truly important in life. He's so grounded. Fame doesn't faze him, and our jobs don't mean anything compared to how we connect, our chemistry and the strong bond between us.
Fame doesn't last forever anyway. If I stop being famous it won't matter because I'll still have my children and a husband who loves me. Hopefully, everything's in place for Alex and me to have our happy ever after...'

Lohan says she can't afford rehab
Lohan has been ordered by a judge to kick it in rehab for at least another 90 days, a stay that would set a typical guest back $53,000 US, People reports. And that's $53,000 that LiLo doesn't have, sources tell the mag.
Yes, Lohan's career hiccups have had a detrimental impact on something other than the straight-to-DVD industry. According to her probation report (which was obtained by People), Lohan will have trouble paying her Betty Ford Center fees if she doesn't find work soon.
"She indicates she cannot afford to continue to pay for the treatment program and she needs to work," reads the report, and, according to People, Lohan has asked to be moved to outpatient care instead of going through another run at Betty Ford. At present, though, the judge's ruling that she stay in rehab until Jan. 3 will stick.
In an effort to raise the necessary cash, Lohan has been looking for a sponsor for rehab, PopEater reports. No, not the usual sort of rehab sponsor -- unless you're willing to pony up $50,000, in addition to talking her out of a relapse.
"Lindsay manages to live high off the generosity of others," a source told PopEater. "However, asking for free clothes and dinners at fancy restaurants is one thing; asking for $50,000 cash is something totally different. Her people tried and failed to sell her first post-rehab interview for big bucks, so her only option now is to find some sort of sponsor."
Before her sentencing, there had been several reports that Lohan was running out of money. As one "pal" of hers told PopEater, "Lindsay hasn't worked in so long that the only way she makes money now is from selling photographs."
No matter how many photo ops Lohan will be forced to stage, the judge in Lohan's case isn't the only one who believes the best thing for the celeb is rehab. Two medical professionals quoted in the report indicate that Lohan is not ready to leave treatment. Dr. Lee Sadja, who treated Lohan at the UCLA Medical Center, said in the document: "There was some denial regarding her drug addiction. [She] needs to continue to work on her issues in order to save her life."
A counsellor who also treated Lohan, Gary Richman, writes that Lohan is only just beginning to recover.
"She has a lot of growing up to do," he said in the report.

Nicole Richie slams 'creepy' paps
Nicole took to her blog to blast paps from celebrity photo website X17 after they published pictures of her picking up Harlow from school, E! reports.
She said: "Thank you so much for posting the video of your employees sitting outside of my daughter's school, because now the entire world can see how creepy and disgusting you are."
She went on: "You do not get to spend 200 dollars on a camera, and think that gives you a free pass to shadow my child. These are strangers, grown men, stalking young children. You think that's ok?"
Her fiance Joel waded into the row by posting Nicole's blog on his Twitter account and writing: "I've learned a lot of self control and acceptance. Still never gonna be ok with grown men creeping outside schools. Gotta do what i can do."

Mischa Barton discusses depression
The 24-year-old actress is best known for her role playing Marissa Cooper in the defunct American television series The OC, although she hit the headlines last year when she checked into a psychiatric hospital.
Mischa feels in a far better place mentally now, and is happily dating British deejay Ali Love and looking forward to new career opportunities, saying she has put the pain of 2009 behind her.
"That was a tumultuous year. It was one thing after another and it lead to a pretty reasonable breakdown," she confided to the British edition of OK! magazine.
"I suffer from depression and that's the truth. I've never told anybody that."
Mischa does accept she can be kooky sometimes, but explains that is no reflection of her mental health and is just her unique personality.
The beautiful star now feels in control of her emotions, and says she uses the arts to express her feelings. She also insists she's usually very happy and has a fantastic sense of humour.
"I am by no means mentally unstable. Well I am pretty crazy and weird sometimes, but not mentally unstable," she explained.
"I balance [depression] with positive things in my life and that's why I have my outlets of music and literature ... As much as I get down, I'm an upbeat person. People always think of me as kind of a light in a room - I love to make people laugh."

Lady Gaga Challenged to $1 Million Singing Competition
Lady Gaga has been challenged to a televised sing-off by Los Angeles recording artist Alisa Apps, with the winner taking home a cash prize at least $1 million.
The competition would take place at New York's Madison Square Garden or London's O2 Arena, with each singer performing a series of songs.
"I feel sorry for Lady Gaga -- she's just a plastic doll generated by the music money marketing machine," Apps states in a release. "This contest gives people a chance to choose which they prefer -- plastic or real."
Lady Gaga has not responded to the challenge thus far.
Apps has yet to release her debut album, but a clip of the singer performing the track "How Do I Make Right" has earned 1.2 million views on YouTube.

Christina Aguilera and husband split up
"Although Jordan and I are separated, our commitment to our son Max remains as strong as ever," Aguilera said in a brief statement.
Celebrity news website Us Weekly said Aguilera, 29, and Bratman, 33, split up a few months ago but have not yet decided whether to divorce.
"They are now living apart, and they will see how that goes," Us Weekly quoted a source close to the "Beautiful" singer as saying.
"They were very much in love. But over the last six months, it became clear they were more like friends than husband and wife," the unidentified source said.
Aguilera, who had a huge early hit with "Genie in a Bottle", and Bratman married in November 2005 and have the one son, Max, age 2. They met in 2002 while Jordan was working for Aguilera's music management company.
A former Disney teen performer, Aguilera is due to star in her first feature film - the upcoming musical "Burlesque".

David Arquette's oedipal urge
David Arquette is in therapy following his split from Courteney Cox.
The couple - who have been married for 11 years - announced yesterday that they had agreed to a trial separation several months ago, and the Scream actor has now revealed the reason they parted ways was because Courteney became tired of being a "mother" to him.
Speaking to the Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM radio station, David said: "Let me get to the story. I've been going to therapy. I'm trying to grow up. I'm trying to be true to myself and figure out my world, as is she.
"We're best friends. She is the greatest woman I've ever met. As soon as I met her I knew. She's the greatest woman in the whole f***ing world. She tries to take on everyone's problems, which is why she doesn't want to mother to me anymore."
The pair - who have a six-year-old daughter Coco together - have vowed to remain "best friends" and responsible parents to their little girl.
In a joint statement, they said: "We have agreed to a trial separation that dates back for some time. The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage. We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply."
It is believed Courteney and David have already agreed to a joint custody deal to share parental rights of Coco.

The couple - who have been married for 11 years - announced yesterday that they had agreed to a trial separation several months ago, and the Scream actor has now revealed the reason they parted ways was because Courteney became tired of being a "mother" to him.
Speaking to the Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM radio station, David said: "Let me get to the story. I've been going to therapy. I'm trying to grow up. I'm trying to be true to myself and figure out my world, as is she.
The pair - who have a six-year-old daughter Coco together - have vowed to remain "best friends" and responsible parents to their little girl.
In a joint statement, they said: "We have agreed to a trial separation that dates back for some time. The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage. We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply."
It is believed Courteney and David have already agreed to a joint custody deal to share parental rights of Coco.

Tila Tequila Loses Legal Fight to Keep Sex Tape Private
According to Tmz, the star, real name Tila Nguyen, filed for an injunction to stop the release of the explicit video, made during a holiday with a boyfriend more than seven years ago.
Her lawyer claimed the tape is an invasion of her privacy and a misappropriation of her image.
But a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge rejected the argument on Thursday (7 Oct 10), noting "Tila exploits her sexuality".
The judge also ruled that there wasn't enough evidence to issue a restraining order against the star's ex, whose name has not been released.
Tila rose to fame as a popular internet pin-up on MySpace.com, and has since become known as the bisexual star of U.S. reality dating show A Shot At Love.

Paul Henry's resignation statement
It is no longer practical in the current environment for me to do the job I was employed to do, and have so enjoyed doing. It is also difficult for TVNZ to get on with the business of being a first class broadcaster as long as I remain.
I have apologised twice, and have meant every word. I again apologise to all those who were genuinely hurt by what I said.
However, it is clear that things have now reached a point where my actions will have to speak louder than my words.
I am astonished and dismayed that my comments have created a diplomatic incident. My style is conversational and of course unscripted. I walk the finest of lines and accept that I have inadvertently crossed it from time to time.
But I recognise the realities of the situation.
I do not want to continue to be used as a lightning rod for racial disharmony in this country. Likewise, I certainly do not want to have my elderly mother staked out at her nursing home by tabloid media, as has happened this weekend.
I will miss the professionalism and friendship of the brilliant production team I have worked with, and I will miss the fun and satisfaction of having doubled the audience for Breakfast in the last few years. The programme is great - and I'm sure its success will continue.
To be honest, most of all I'll miss Pippa.
I am grateful to the many thousands of people who have offered their support to me. I hope they will understand and accept that an extraordinary convergence of circumstances has made this action necessary
I am saddened by this whole episode - sad that I crossed the line in the first place, and sad that an employer I have always served with pride has had to suffer slings and arrows.
To all those who have enjoyed Breakfast - thank you. It has been a privilege to have been part of your mornings for the last seven years.

Kourtney & Kim Take New York
The Kardashian sisters are conquering downtown. Kim and Kourtney will begin filming a spinoff of their E! reality series, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," in TriBeCa on Friday. They'll be using a penthouse at the Smyth Hotel for three months while they expand the family business and find Kim a man. A source said Scott Disick and baby Mason will live in the penthouse with Kourtney for the shoot, with the intention of relocating the family to New York permanently.
Although Khloe joined Kourtney in Miami for "Kourtney & Khloe take Miami," she'll stay in LA with her Lakers hubby, Lamar Odom. The new spinoff will be similar to the Miami series, with the opening of a Dash boutique, which has branches in Miami and LA. As we reported in August, Kourtney was seen eyeing retail space on West 14th Street near the Apple Store and Abe & Arthur's.
Paul Henry suspended without pay
TVNZ chief executive Rick Ellis said today that while Mr Henry is a “provocative” host, his recent comments “crossed the line”.
"I have met with Paul and told him that while his apologies were the right thing to do and that I believe he is sincere in his regret, I still consider his remarks unacceptable for any employee of TVNZ to make.
"We give Paul a lot of freedom with the Breakfast programme and he does a magnificent job. But as we have said before, with that freedom comes responsibility.”
Mr Ellis has suspended Mr Henry until October 18, without pay and effective immediately.
The TVNZ boss said he would also be apologising personally to Sir Anand and his family.

Lindsay Lohan walks free after only 10 hours jail time
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told the media Lohan would have to serve the full 30 days she was sentenced to for failing two drug tests and violating her probation on Friday (24Sep10), but reports suggest the Mean Girls star has already left Lynwood correctional facility after just 10 hours.
Shortly after her latest jail stint began, Whitmore told the press, "Ms. Lohan cannot be released early because this isn't a jail sentence. She's being held by court order until her hearing."
But her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley appealed Judge Elden S. Fox's surprise decision to remand the actress in custody without bail until her 22 October (10) hearing, and another Superior Court judge, Patricia M. Schnegg, has ruled the original sentence was legally incorrect because it involved a probation violation for a misdemeanour conviction - and bail should have been an option.
Thanks to the updated decision, Lohan was allowed to walk free after posting $300,000 (GBP200,000) bail.
It's the third time Lohan has served a fraction of her sentence at Lynwood - earlier this year (10), she spent just 13 days of a 90-day sentence behind bars.
TMZ.com reports Lohan will be fitted with another alcohol-monitoring bracelet this weekend (25-26Sep10) under the terms of her release and she won't be allowed to associate with known drug users. She'll also be subjected to random searches.

Russell Brand Is Arrested -- And Katy Perry Parties!
Russell Brand was arrested on Friday afternoon -- but seems like it only made fiancee Katy Perry love him more! The comedian, 35, was arrested for battery after shoving paparazzi out of the way at the Los Angeles International Airport. As MTV News points out, Brand has been arrested 11 times in the past -- but never for physical violence. So what pushed him over the edge this time?
Answer: the photographer was trying to take an upskirt photo of Katy Perry. And, as she tweeted later that day, Perry supports his actions: "If you cross the line & try an put a lens up my dress, my fiancé will do his job & protect me." In other words, Brand was arrested for defending Katy's honor! Swoon!
Brand was released on $20,000 bail, and Perry proceeded with her weekend plans: A bachelorette party in Vegas, thrown for her by Rihanna! The two pop superstars and a group of friends started the party in the Hard Rock Hotel pool, where Perry wore a bridal veil attached to her bikini.
Later, they showed up a Cirque de Soleil performance, where Perry and Rihanna had their picture snapped backstage. The group of about 25 then spent a few hours at a VIP table at XS nightclub, followed by a nightcap at the Sapphire strip club (where a friend bought Katy a lap dance!). Perry, never one for dull fashion, wore a sequined polka-dotted mini dress and a miniature top hat with a veil and a "B" (for "bride," presumably -- or maybe for "Brand"?).
The superstar lovebirds plan to get married at the end of the year in India. We can't wait to see what she wears -- and we wouldn't want to see what Brand does to any invading paparazzi!
Paris Hilton admits to lying to officer, avoids jail
Under the terms of a deal, the heiress pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges — drug possession and obstructing an officer. She’ll do a year of probation, attend an “intensive” substance abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine — chump change to her — and complete 200 hours of community service.
If the celebutante is arrested within the year, however, she’ll spend a year behind bars, the judge said, adding that “the Clark County Detention Center is not the Waldorf Astoria.”
Why did Paris originally tell authorities the cocaine found in her purse didn’t belong to her, even speculating that it was “gum”?
“At the moment it all came down, she was scared,” a source told People magazine. “But since then, she’s had time to think about her actions and she’s taking this really seriously.”
Indeed, TMZ sources said Paris is “over being a party girl” and has proclaimed to pals, “I’m taking this whole ordeal as a wake-up call.”
The former “Simple Life” star wants to “trade in the club scene for a life at home” and “finally grow up and become a responsible adult.” She reportedly plans to focus on business endeavors and volunteer at animal shelters.
Hm. When Paris did jail time back in 2007, she emerged claiming she wanted to focus on charity work and make a humanitarian trip to Africa.
How’d that work out? Oh, right, it didn’t.

Chelsea Handler Fires Back at VMA Critics
"I know I had a good night," she Twittered Monday afternoon. She then jokingly added that she knew this because she woke up with "tape on my back & glitter on my face."
When celeb blogger Perez Hilton Twittered to her that even he could have done "a better job" as host, she replied with the F-word.
"I had a blast and the show awesome last night," she wrote. "Bomb? Your life is a bomb."
One thing's certain: The show didn't bomb.
Attracting 11.4 million viewers, it drew its biggest audience for any telecast on the network since 2002.
"Just got word...Highest rated vma's since 2002," Handler, 35, Twittered late Monday. "Good job, mtv! Good job, kiddo."

Katy Perry won't sleep in the dark
The singer, whose new album, Teenage Dream, tops the UK chart, told Radio Times she feared something bad would happen if she was on her own at night.
"I think a lot of evil things go on in the dark," said Katy, 25. "I still have to cover my toes because I'm like that kid who thinks there's a witch under my bed who's going to eat my tootsies off.
"I sleep with lights on unless I'm with Russell."
Katy added she had given up a partying lifestyle.
"You have to have talent to make it work or the only thing you get out of it is free booze and no sleep, which makes you no good."

Jodie Marsh: “I've made a lot of mistakes - I've been an idiot and a first-class moron”
- On new love Michael Howarth: "He's a real man. The number of rows I've had with young boys who I was with, about who I've dated in the past... Michael doesn't care who I've been with. He knows I'm an ex-wild child and he loves me."
- On her lifelong attraction to Pamela Anderson: “I've fancied Pamela Anderson my whole life. So if she was to come on to me it would be: ‘See you later, Michael!’. She’sone of the most powerful women in the world. She was every straight bloke’s dream for the five years she was in Baywatch. She’s the ultimate woman. So never say never."
- On why she would never again date an ex of rival Jordan: “I wouldn’t go out with someone she’d been with ever again. I wouldn’t have purposely chosen one of her exes in the first place – it just happened by accident. I often think her exes will come to me because they hate her and we’d obviously get on straightaway. I always find humour in that.”
- On training to be a tatooist for her new reality show - Jodie Marsh Tattoo Apprentice: “I’m doing an apprenticeship, so in the programme I’m showing how hard it is to actually do tattoos and the difference between good and bad ones. It will also film my personal journey as a celebrity and how I want to change my life and go in a different direction.”

Lady Gaga Poses As A Man For Vogue
The Bad Romance singer sports short dark hair and a white tank top on the front of the men's version of the fashion magazine.
She is described as model Jo Calderone - who is Gaga's alter ego.
In the accompanying interview, 'he' claims to be a friend of the singer.
"I met her at a shoot (photographer) Nick Knight was doing. She's f***** beautiful, and funny, and interesting.
"I was a little nervous for Nick to start shooting.
"She said, 'Don’t be baby, you were born this way.' I took her out after. The rest is private."
Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, is not afraid to push sexual boundaries.
She admitted to having bi-sexual relationships in the past and is an advocate of gay rights.
The singer recently became the most followed person on Twitter, overtaking pop star Britney Spears.
Gaga will soon become immortalised in wax at the New York branch of Madame Tussauds.
Gaga statues are expected at many of the other global museums, including the one in London.
Fans of the star, referred to by Gaga as "little monsters" are being given the chance to share their ideas on which of her flamboyant outfits the waxwork should wear.
"We're open to hearing from fans about which looks they want," said a spokesman.

Mischa Barton to ditch Los Angeles for London and set up home with her English DJ boyfriend
She's only been dating him for about a month or so but Mischa Barton is already planning to up sticks for her new man.
The actress is said to be planning to leave Los Angeles and move to London to be closer to her DJ boyfriend Ali Love.
And friends said she can't wait to pack her bags and fly to the UK.
Speaking to heat magazine this week, a friend said: 'Mischa’s found a great new guy.
'She can’t wait to move to London to be with him. It’s already in the works.'
Mischa, 24, and 28-year-old DJ/singer/writer/producer Ali - real name Alexander McLovan - got together at the beginning of the summer.
They have already enjoyed a romantic break together in Nice, France and were seen looking loved up and happy at the Lovebox festival in east London where he played.
And things have moved even quicker for the new couple, as Mischa plans to ditch her Los Angeles home for the capital.
The friend added: 'Instead of Hollywood gigs, Mischa’s focusing on a stage career in the West End.
'She wants to spend a year in London and see where things go with both the theatre and Ali. She’s so happy to be starting afresh. She’s so in love!'
Mischa was born in London, but was moved to the US with her family when she was six but she has retained her British citizenship.
The former O.C star has often said she feels 'more comfortable in England', adding that she likes people to 'discern that I'm an English-Irish girl who grew up in New York'.
Mischa's sister Zoe is a barrister in London and the actress also has a big group of friends over here, so she won't be short of company, and can count Daisy Lowe and Jaime Winstone among her pals.

Lindsay Lohan could leave rehab in days
Newlywed Anna Paquin shows off her sparking diamond ring after marrying True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer
Anna Paquin settles into married life with a trip to the shops as she proudly shows off her stunning diamond wedding ring.
The True Blood actress married her co-star Stephen Moyer at the weekend in idyllic beach wedding in Malibu.
But it seems the pair have put their honeymoon plans on hold for now at least, with a scheduled appearance at the Emmys on Sunday to present an award with their fellow cast member Alexander Skarsgard.
Anna, 28, was pictured today shopping at the trendy clothing store Fred Segal in Santa Monica, California, with her mother Mary.
Dressed in denim shorts and a printed T-shirt, the actress flashed her wedding band at photographers, which was designed by jeweller Cathy Waterman.
Meanwhile, across town, Moyer was spotted skateboarding around the streets of Venice Beach where the couple live, also with his ring firmly in place.
Yesterday the British-born star, 40, was pictured without the marriage band (and his new wife) as he hit the beach with family to catch some surf time.
Presumably, he didn't want to lose the precious jewellery item, which was also designed by Waterman, in the sea.
Paquin's True Blood character Sookie Stackhouse and Moyer's Bill Compton haven't exactly been on the firmest of grounds.
But the couple exchanged vows under a tent across the road from the beach in Malibu on Saturday, and many of the guests in attendance brought presents wrapped in purple boxes with purple bows reports Us Weekly.
And it certainly appears Moyer is keen on the swimming. Soon after he tied the knot, he dashed into the sea to celebrate.
Among the guests at the intimate celebration were the couple's True Blood co-star Carrie Preston and her husband Michael Emerson of Lost, and Elijah Wood.
Paquin wore a a Marilyn Monroe-esque white halterneck three-quarter length gown and black platform court shoes, with her blonde hair pulled back in a simple bun.
Moyer wore a simple black suit, white shirt and a black tie.
Following the ceremony, the wedding party moved across the street to a private residence for the reception, where Moyer stripped off and jumped into the ocean.
In true Hollywood style, Paquin and Moyer fell in love on the set of their HBO hit vampire show, with their first kiss actually occurring on screen.
The couple began dating a few months after the show's debut in 2008, but they kept their relationship under wraps until February 2009. Even Paquin coming out and saying she was bisexual did nothing to derail the relationship.
At the time Moyer said that decision was intentional. 'It was very important to me that the cast and crew we were working with didn't feel it was fickle....We didn't want to take anything away from the show.'
The couple announced their engagement in August 2009, with Moyer proposing on a beach in Hawaii. He chose Hawaii because 'There was a song in the first season, "White Sandy Beach in Hawaii," which was kind of funny and ironic,' Moyer told Access Hollywood last year.
'[It] all started out as a joke and then we decided to go to Hawaii with my kids.' Moyer has two children, Billy, 10, and Lilac, 8, from two previous relationships.
Speaking of his feelings for Paquin, Moyer said in the July issue of Playboy, 'With Anna it's just about pure trust, on camera and off. I have never trusted anybody like I trust Anna.'
Clearly, trust is important between the two as Paquin recently announced that she is bisexual, something Moyer said he was 'proud' of her for revealing.
Both Paquin and Moyer recently appeared naked and covered in blood on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine with co-star Alexander Skarsgard.
Born in Canada, Paquin was raised in New Zealand and first made her mark in Hollywood in 1994 when she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar at 11 for her role as Holly Hunter's daughter in The Piano.
British born Moyer began his career in the theatre, working with The Royal Shakespeare Company. He divides his time between London and the home he shares with Paquin in Venice Beach in Los Angeles.

Katie Price denies being pregnant after speculation over bloated tummy mystery
Despite front-page tabloid claims that she is expecting again accompanying pictures of a slightly more rotund belly than usual, she is definitely NOT pregnant.
The star, who rarely sports anyting other than a washboard-taut tum, bared her midriff after dining out at Balans in London's Soho in a crop top and baggy trousers.
But after the Daily Star put two and two together to make five, the 32-year-old model, took to Twitter today to knock down their astonishingly speculative story.
The paper, which normally enjoys a close relationship with the star, splashed on its front page the headline 'Jordan's new baby joy'.
However, Katie, who married 34-year-old cagefighter Reid in February, has today hit back to deny the reports on her official Twitter account (@misskatieprice).
Ms Price stated: 'I hear the DAILY STAR have written rubbish again headline "jordans new baby joy" I can confirm I'm 100% not pregnant!'
The star opined afterwards: 'It seems that in the media that if a girl doesn’t have a flat stomach or is a size zero that means she is pregnant. Give us girls a break.'
The report in the Star must have been frustrating for the self-made businesswoman, as she's often expressed her desire to add to her brood of Harvey, eight, and her two children with former husband Peter Andre, Princess, three, and Junior, five.
She's previously gushed: 'We are trying for a baby, I can't wait, we will definitely have children. All our family are excited for us.'
'Me and Alex so want kids. Well, we are trying, so let's hope, let's hope.
'I'm in such a happy place, it's so great. You know...new beginning and new family life to start - we're so excited.'
There's even been reports that Katie and Alex have been undergoing fertility treatment at the Portland Clinic in London.
