Hollywood star Ryan Phillippe has spoken out following his shock split from wife Reese Witherspoon last week, declaring he's "not guilty of a lot of things" he has been accused of. Witherspoon, 30, and Phillippe, 32, announced they were splitting after seven years of marriage and two children together on October 30. Following the announcement, tabloids began to speculate Phillippe had cheated on his Oscar winning wife with his Stop Loss co-star Abbie Cornish, which the Australian actress has vigorously denied. Speaking for the first time since the split, the Crash hunk tells America's People magazine, "I'm not a perfect person, but I'm not guilty of a lot of the things I have been accused of. My priority is and always has been the health and safety of my family." In response to rumors Witherspoon was unhappy with Phillippe's partying, his representative says, "Look, he went out, she went out, it wasn't a point of conflict." Meanwhile, Witherspoon has officially filed for divorce, asking the court for joint legal custody of the couple's two children. The actress is also asking the judge to block attempts by her estranged husband to get spousal support, and she is seeking "exclusive use of the family residence." In the legal documents, obtained by news website TMZ.com, Witherspoon lists the date of separation as October 30, and cites "irreconcilable differences" for the split.

Russell Crowe has accused the media of exaggerating his violent reputation for dramatic effect. The Gladiator actor is open about the mistakes he has made - including an incident last year when he threw a telephone at a hotel employee in New York City. But he is frustrated about reports he read that are untrue. Crowe says, "There is a lot of just intentional misinformation, as well. I've never had a fight with a photographer, for example, but you can find hundreds of articles on the net which will list me fighting with paparazzi, something I do apparently on a regular basis. But that's just not true. I just don't bother letting it bug me anymore, and because it doesn't bug me, in this odd way, it happens less."

It is the latest in a series of run-ins with the paparazzi for Lohan - a recent incident in which photographers tried to hit her Cadillac Escalade.

British actress Joely Richardson has been forced to put her career on hold to care for her sick daughter. The 101 Dalmatians star has temporarily quit her hit US plastic surgery drama Nip/Tuck to be with her teenage daughter in London as she faces multiple operations to fix a circulation problem in her leg. Richardson tells America's TV Guide her daughter Daisy was diagnosed with circulation problems when she was born and medics told her parents she'd be in and out of hospital when she hit her teens. The actress says, "Surgeons and hospitals have been a big part of our lives. We were always told that she would have to have more surgeries when she got older. The time has come." Richardson admits she had no choice when it came to deciding to quit her hit show. She adds, "I love my work but I had to be in two places at once and I thought, 'If it were all over tomorrow, what would I regret?' It would be not being there for her." Richardson fears she'll never be able to return to Nip/Tuck, but series creator Ryan Murphy is hoping her character Julia McNamara, will be back. He says, "I don't want to do the show without her."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were not threatened by Al-Qaeda terrorists but received threats from members of a little-known Islamic fundamentalist group trying to get publicity.

Jolie is in the city shooting A Mighty Heart, in which she portrays Mariane Pearl, widow of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was killed in 2002 by Al-Qaeda terrorists. Sources close to the couple tell American publication Us Weekly that a little-known Islamic fundamentalist website put out a threat as a ploy to gain attention.

Pitt initially added private security to his team until he was assured by authorities that his family was safe. The source adds, "It was a big deal until they found out it was bogus."
