Caan's Ex Wants Custody Of Kids
1 hour ago
Veteran actor James Caan will have to fight for his two children with estranged wife Linda Stokes - his ex has filed for physical custody of the kids following their split last month.
The star, who turns 70 in March, initially filed for divorce in 2005, before calling off the split and reconciling weeks later.
Caan filed new papers in November, citing irreconcilable differences, and now Stokes has lodged a claim for full physical custody of sons James, 14, and Jacob, 11, reports TMZ.com.
She is also requesting spousal support from Caan and wants the actor to cover her lawyer's fees, although she is willing to allow the star visitation rights and joint legal custody of the boys.
Stokes became Caan's fourth wife when the couple wed in 1995.

Jackson Couldn't Shoot The Lovely Bones' Rape And Murder
1 hour ago
Moviemaker Peter Jackson has defended his decision not to show the rape and murder of a teenage girl in his adaptation of Alice Sebold's bestseller The Lovely Bones, revealing he felt "morally conflicted about the whole thing".
The horrific act is spelled out in the book, but Jackson and his co-producer wife Fran Walsh couldn't bring themselves to make it part of their movie, and instead showed actress Saoirse Ronan - as tragic Susie Salmon - escaping the cornfield pit where she was brutally killed as a ghost.
The director has been criticised by fans of the book for not showing the horror of the sex act and what followed - but he insists he made the right decision, and knew he could never film such a scene shortly after shooting began.
He tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "Showing it (rape and murder) didn't feel right for our take on the story."
And he also didn't want to titillate sick film fans: "There's a tiny proportion of people out there who enjoy watching that sort of thing. We felt pretty morally conflicted about the whole thing."

The Hollywood stars have relocated their family from Bermuda to New York while the actress performs in Broadway play A Little Night Music and Douglas shoots Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps in Manhattan.
But the move meant Zeta-Jones had to leave behind her beloved menagerie of pets - so Douglas decided to surprise the Chicago star with a new pooch on 25 September, the same day the actor celebrated his 65th birthday.
She says, "I've a bit of my own zoo, I left four of my Labradors there (in Bermuda). But my husband actually, for my birthday, I was desperate for a little Coton De Tulear dog. He's the sweetest little thing, he's only six months old."

Garrison Writing Screenplay
4 hours ago
Actor Lane Garrison is returning to work following his recent prison stint - he's writing a screenplay based on the true life story of a troubled American football team.
The former Prison Break star was locked up in November 2007 on charges of vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of cocaine and alcohol following an accident in December 2006, which left a 17-year-old passenger dead.
He was due to serve 40 months behind bars in California, but was released early in April for good behaviour.
Garrison has since enrolled in a rehabilitation treatment programme to kick his drug habit and is now ready to get back into showbusiness with One Heart.
The 29 year old is working on transferring the story of a football team from Texas' Gainesville State School, made up of young convicted criminals involved in drugs, violence and robbery, to the big screen.
The film will follow the kids in their 2008 season, when they lost every game they played, before going on to turn their lives and fortunes around.
The once-embattled Garrison heard of the Gainesville story from pals and was inspired to take on the project after welling up at the team's sad struggle.
He says, "I was moved to tears, because I knew who those kids were because I was one of them. I knew what it was to be locked away and feel hopelessness and feel like, 'Will I ever have another redeeming quality? Will I have a second chance?'"

Brand Goes To Gallagher With His Problems
7 hours ago
Funnyman Russell Brand has praised his friend Noel Gallagher for supporting him over the last few years, insisting the rocker always finds time to listen to his problems.
The comedian met the former Oasis star at a stand-up gig in London in 2004, and the pair has been close pals ever since.
Brand admits he always turns to the guitarist in a crisis, because Gallagher makes him feel better when times are hard.
He tells Britain's Q magazine, "One thing that endlessly surprises me about him is he's the sweetest, most thoughtful, sensitive person. He gives very good advice, if I ever have problems with relationships or friendships or fame."
And Brand will always be grateful to Gallagher for standing by him last year, when the comic quit his British radio show after he and fellow broadcaster Jonathan Ross were heavily criticised for leaving "grossly offensive" messages on TV star Andrew Sachs' answer machine during a live broadcast.
Brand adds, "After all that happened, he (Gallagher) went, 'It's a f**king load of b**locks, don't take it seriously.' He knows I'm not a malicious person."

Zeta-Jones Proud Of Daughter's Stage Debut
7 hours ago
Catherine Zeta-Jones' daughter is to make her stage debut in a school production of Annie, taking on the same role that inspired the Oscar winner to pursue a career in acting 31 years ago.
Six-year-old Carys, Zeta-Jones' youngest child with husband Michael Douglas, will follow in her famous parents' footsteps when she takes the lead in the school musical - and the Chicago star couldn't be more proud.
She says, "My daughter is about to embark on her first school production, Annie."
Zeta-Jones first appeared on stage at the age of nine, portraying the lovable orphan in a local production in her native Swansea, Wales.
But Carys isn't the only one to continue in the Douglas family trade - her nine-year-old brother Dylan is also showing promise.
Zeta-Jones adds, "They've both got their parents' genes."

Weisz's Toddler Loves Breasts

Rachel Weisz is bracing herself for an awkward public encounter with her curious three-year-old son - because he's fascinated by women's breasts.
The Mummy actress gave birth to little Henry - her son with fiance, filmmaker Darren Aronofsky - in 2006, and admits he has developed an early love for the female form.
And the star is worried he might get grabby with strangers around.
She says, "There's two things he's interested in: firemen and women's breasts.
"He just talks about them all the time and he thinks I've got the biggest breasts in the world, which clearly isn't true! He does (talk about them in public) but he's not embarrassed me yet. Although I'm sure that's still to come."

Tequila Countersued By Merriman
7 hours ago
Tila Tequila's ex-boyfriend, American footballer Shawne Merriman, is countersuing the reality TV star, accusing her of spreading lies about domestic abuse to damage his reputation and ruin his career.
The San Diego Chargers star was arrested on suspicion of battery and false imprisonment in September after Tequila called the cops to the athlete's California home claiming she had been choked and was being prevented from leaving the property.
Merriman denied the allegations, insisting he only stopped Tequila from exiting the house because she was "inebriated" and he didn't want her to travel alone.
He was freed without charge but Tequila - real name Tila Nguyen - filed suit against the sports star last month accusing her ex of assault, battery, false imprisonment and emotional distress.
The suit also included photo evidence of bruises Tequila claimed were inflicted by Merriman during the incident.
But Merriman is fighting back and filed his own lawsuit against Tequila in a U.S. District Court this week (begs07Dec09), claiming the TV star posted untruths on her website about his reported violent behaviour and alleged involvement in drugs and sex with minors, reports TMZ.com.
He is suing for intentional interference with contract and unfair competition after he lost out on a T-shirt venture shortly after his arrest scandal, as well as trademark infringement, amid claims Tequila used his Lights Out logo on her webpage.
Bisexual Tequila appears to have moved on from the relationship after recently announcing in a bizarre online video that she's engaged to marry her socialite girlfriend Casey Johnson.

Rourke Not Planning To Wed
7 hours ago
Mickey Rourke's representative has shot down reports the actor is heading to the altar, insisting he's not engaged to his Russian girlfriend.
The Wrestler star was rumoured to have proposed to a woman named as 24-year-old model Elena Kuletskaya, with plans to marry her in Moscow next year.
A source told the New York Post's gossip column PageSix: "They haven't booked a venue or made any solid plans. He just knows he wants to do it in April, and he's been asking what is involved in a traditional Russian wedding ceremony."
But Rourke's spokesperson has dismissed the claims and has used the opportunity to set the record straight about the actor's new partner.
The rep tells GossipCop.com, "Reports of an engagement are untrue. Mickey's girlfriend is Ana Makarenko."
Rourke has been married twice before - he divorced Debra Feuer after eight years of marriage in 1989, before marrying Carre Otis in 1992. They split in 1998.

Hallyday Recovering After Corrective Surgery
7 hours ago
French rocker Johnny Hallyday is recovering after undergoing corrective surgery to treat complications following a botched back operation.
The 66 year old went under the knife in Paris, France last month to repair a slipped disc.
But he experienced complications and developed an infection and was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital earlier this week, where doctors advised him the lesions from his French operation "required reparative surgery", his representative reveals.
Hallyday, real name Jean-Philippe Smet, is now in recovery and his spokesperson insists the situation is "under control".
The singer is in L.A. for his Route 66 tour, which he claims will be his last.
His health scare is the latest concern for the veteran star - he was hospitalised for nine days in August for medical check-ups at his insurers' request, after a fall on a yacht in July.
