Pitt and Jolie Leave Namibia

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie left their Namibian beach resort on Saturday with their newborn daughter and adopted children Zahara and Maddox after a two-month stay. The Hollywood stars retreated to Erongo on April 5 where they received government-assisted privacy in the weeks up to Shiloh Nouvel's birth on May 27. The couple thanked the Namibian government and its people at a news conference last week for the peace they enjoyed in the southwest African country. The 42-year-old actor said, "We are very proud that our daughter was born here, and we leave with fond memories and definitely hungry to return."

Hilton Admits Car Accident

Socialite Paris Hilton admits she hit a parked car as she tried to leave a car park in Los Angeles on Thursday - but blames the paparazzi for "disorientating" her prior to the accident. The Simple Life star was caught on video by a cameraman leaving the scene of the accident without leaving contact details - a violation of California law which can be punishable by a six month jail sentence. However the partygirl insists she told an employee at the car park what had happened and left her contact details. However, Hilton's publicist Elliot Mintz says, "Did she commit a crime? No. She was swarmed by paparazzi .The intensity of the lights, flashbulbs, momentarily disoriented her. She backed up, there was a minor fender-bender. No injuries. She then told me she notified one of the parking people at the facility how to contact her and asked the person to please pass that along to the owner of the struck car. Paris is a very responsible and a very good driver, she takes her driving seriously. This was unfortunate and it will be handled appropriately." The accident is the latest car-related incident for Hilton - last November, she was caught on camera again when her then-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos crashed the socialite's Bentley into a parked truck in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to TMZ.com, Hilton has been cited six times for various traffic violations since the beginning of 2006.

Lohan's Bad Bathroom Behavior

Lindsay Lohan infuriated Vogue editor Anna Wintour at the Council Of Fashion Designers Of America (CFDA) awards last Monday - because she made too many trips to the toilet. The Mean Girls star, who arrived with Chanel boss Karl Lagerfeld, was a guest of Wintour at the bash. But after her lavatorial antics, the fashionista insists she will never associate with her again. An insider tells PageSix.com, "She got up to use the bathroom to powder her nose six times in two hours. Wintour leaned over and whispered to a Vogue staffer: 'Tell her, if she gets up one more time, she will never be invited to one of my events again.' Lohan's date, Karl Lagerfeld, was then told, 'Karl, this is your guest, control her!'"

Oliver Hudson Weds

Goldie Hawn's actor son Oliver Hudson married his long-term love, actress Erinn Bartlett in Mexico on Friday. Oliver, 29, tied the knot with Bartlett, 33, in a Buddhist ceremony in front of Hawn, her partner Kurt Russell, his younger sister Kate Hudson and her husband Chris Robinson. Kate's two-year-old son Ryder served as a ringbearer, according to American magazine People. The couple have been dating for six years and became engaged in February 2004. Last month, Almost Famous star Hudson hosted a bachelorette party for Bartlett in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Lopez & Anthony Join Puerto Rican Day Parade

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony gave New York's Puerto Rican Day a boost yesterday when they joined city mayor Michael Bloomberg on the parade route. The Puerto Rican couple made an unexpected appearance, thrilling screaming fans, but Anthony insists he's always been a big supporter of his national day. He says, "The Puerto Rican parade has been a long-standing tradition in my life. It was always an event that I looked forward to every single year."

'Gladiator' Composer Faces Copyright Battle

Gladiator composer Hans Zimmer is being sued by the Holst Foundation over claims the film's Oscar-nominated score is a copy of the late Gustav Holst's famous "Planet Suite." If the foundation win their claim for infringement of copyright they could make millions of dollars, because sales of the film's soundtrack have gone platinum. Despite Zimmer admitting on the album sleeve that he uses "the same language, the same vocabulary, if not the same syntax" as Holst, the music publishers who hold the copyright in Holst's works, J. Curwen & Sons have decided to take legal action. A Curwen spokesman says, "After a considerable period of discussion between the two parties it has become necessary to ask for the assistance of the courts." The defense lawyer says, "Mr. Zimmer's work on Gladiator is world-renowned and is not in any sense a copy of Mars. Just listening to the two works is enough to tell any listener this claim has no merit."

Farrell Finds Love with Co-Star

The New World actor Colin Farrell has fallen for co-star Lake Bell on the set of his new film Pride And Glory. The Irish star, 30, is said to be "deeply in love" with the former Boston Legal actress, who also appeared last year on sci-fi TV show Surface. Farrell, who was briefly married to English actress Amelia Warner for just four months in 2001, has a two-year-old son James with ex-girlfriend Kim Bordenave. The actor's representative in Los Angeles refused to comment on rumors that the couple are dating saying, "This is a private matter."

McCormack Shocked To Be Tabloid Target

Former Will & Grace star Eric McCormack was shocked when he appeared in a New York gossip column after innocently showering at a gym. The actor is currently in New York City starring in the play Some Girl(s) and has no idea why he seems to be a tabloid target. He explains, "Every time I'm in New York for a short period of time I make (gossip column) Page Six. They reported that a "sexy, swishy spy" at a particular gym that I've been working out at noticed that I'm always "very naked" around the shower area. Is this news?! They asked me for a comment! I told them that I tried showering fully clothed but that I found it less effective and they actually published that!"

Unknown Teen Lands 'Hairspray' Lead

Unknown teenager Nikki Blonsky has landed the role of a lifetime - as the chubby star of the Hairspray movie remake. The 17-year-old New Yorker will play hefty heroine Tracy Turnblad in the star-studded new film, in which John Travolta will play her mother. Billy Crystal and Queen Latifah have already signed on for the project, while teen queen Amanda Bynes will play Turnblad's best pal Penny Pingleton. Blonsky is well known in her native Great Neck, where she often performs the National Anthem at local sports meetings, but her biggest role to date is in the hometown musical Hair. The actress was discovered during a nationwide casting search to find an unknown to play Turnblad. She'll quit her job as an ice-cream store employee to play the part. Rikki Lake played Turnblad in the original 1988 Hairspray, directed by John Waters.

'Apprentice' Winner: "I'm Not Getting Married"

The latest winner of US reality show The Apprentice has hit back at reports he is set to wed his girlfriend, who was a rival contestant. Property tycoon Donald Trump selected Sean Yazbeck as his latest right-hand man at the live finale last Monday night - when the British-born businessman revealed he was dating Tammy Trenta. But Yazbeck, 33, insists it is far too early in their relationship to consider marriage. He says, "We're not getting married. At this stage, it's way too soon to be talking about that." And he explains the mix-up - he simply misheard the question when quizzed by journalists. He adds, "I thought I was answering whether I loved her!"

Royce, 21, stands accused of robbing five properties, including the October 12 burglary of Holloway's residence. Bail has been set at $1 million.
