Richards Denies Neighbours Are Hounding Her Out

Denise Richards has hit back at reports she is selling her California home after falling out with angry neighbours. Recent reports suggested the actress had put her Hidden Hills home up for sale after neighbours complained to local officials about the actress' reality show, which is filmed on the estate. But the star of Denise Richards: It's Complicated insists the story is bogus. The former Bond girl says, "Not one neighbour has complained to me. If there have been any complaints to the production company, I don't know about them." But Richards admits she is hunting for a new home for herself, her two daughters and her father: "We're looking for something more comfortable."

O'Neal Dealer Dubs Actress A 'Liar'

Tatum O'Neal has been branded a liar by the man arrested for selling her drugs in New York last month . Allen Garcia claims O'Neal hounded him for crack cocaine after he had approached her begging for money - and he accuses her of breaking a promise to help him. Speaking to the National Enquirer from New York's Riker's Island jail, Garcia says, "She said in an interview that she was going to help me, but neither she nor anyone else connected with her has contacted me since I've been in here." And Garcia insists the Paper Moon star should feel compelled to help him - because she's the reason he's behind bars. He adds, "She took a long look at me and immediately started questioning me about drugs. She was very insistent and wouldn't take no for an answer, or leave me alone." After they negotiated a price, Garcia claims he went off to buy the drugs. When he returned, cops swooped on the pair, arresting both. The 44-year-old actress pleaded guilty to misdemeanour charges and was fined and ordered to attend two half day drug-treatment classes. Garcia, 31, claims he now faces deportation to Mexico.

Farrell, 32, and 31-year-old novelist Forrest have been inseparable in recent weeks, and reports suggest the Miami Vice star is planning to move to Hollywood to live with the writer.

According to celebrity website Tmz.com, Nice residents are upset the mayor has failed to address the case of a local murder victim in lieu of celebrating the American movie stars and their new additions.

Alba Compares Childbirth To Meditation

New mum Jessica Alba refused to make a sound during the birth of her newborn daughter - because she wanted the experience to be like a "meditation". The 27-year-old star gave birth to daughter Honor Marie - her first child with husband Cash Warren - last month . And Alba is convinced a quiet delivery room was the key to avoiding her labour pains. She says, "I didn't scream. It was really Zen. I wanted to do it naturally. The labour was more like meditation. I did yoga breathing. I was focused."

Kidman Confirms No Baby Pics

A representative for Nicole Kidman has confirmed she will not be selling pictures of her new baby Sunday Rose - and she has already turned down a string of lucrative offers. The star gave birth to her first child with husband Keith Urban last week and the couple has since been dogged by rumours of a possible multi-million dollar picture deal. But now a spokesperson for the actress has announced that there will be no deal or pictures of baby Sunday, and despite numerous offers the new mother never considered accepting any of them.

Lohan 'On Track' With Dui Punishment

Lindsay Lohan is making good progress in satisfying her probation requirements after pleading guilty to drink driving last year , according to her lawyer. The Mean Girls star was arrested twice in 2007 on drink driving charges and was sentenced to one day in prison, a community service order and an 18-month alcohol education programme. The actress also had to complete a three-day county coroner scheme in which she had to talk to victims of drink drivers and visit a morgue. And as Lohan is still on probation she is required to give regular progress reports in court. The star was not present at court in Beverly Hills, California on Tuesday but her attorney, Blair Berk, told the judge that the actress is "completely on track with everything." Lohan's next progress hearing has been set for January 2009.

Grammer: 'Kitchen Lawsuit Has No Merit'

Actor Kelsey Grammer has hit back after a team of workmen accused him of failing to pay them - insisting their lawsuit against him "has no merit." The former Frasier star was hit with legal action from Californian kitchen company The Last Detail earlier this month , amid accusations he commissioned work on his home but failed to settle the $150,000 (?75,000) bill. But Grammer is outraged by the lawsuit, insisting he paid the company nearly a million dollars in fees but eventually fired the team after they failed to honour their contract. And now he is considering legal action of his own. He tells Tmz.com, "(The lawsuit) has no merit. Their claim was filed over a year after they were fired for non-performance and after having received fees over $900,000. I pay my bills in a timely fashion - always have." And the actor's lawyer, Paul Sorrell adds, "We have just learned that this company, The Last Detail, owned by Greg Cline, has had at least three citations issued against them with the State of California's Consumer Board, including one instance of fraud."

Gilliam Attacks Batman

Director Terry Gilliam has slammed the promotional campaign for the new Batman movie - insisting movie bosses are using Heath Ledger's tragic death to generate publicity for the movie. The actor died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in January shortly after shooting his final film - The Imaginarium Of Dr Parnassus - under the direction of Gilliam. And the moviemaker fears that the producers of Ledger's second to last picture, The Dark Knight, are shamelessly capitalising on rumours that the late star will be awarded a posthumous Oscar for his role as evil villain The Joker. He says, "That's what Warner Brothers are saying, but they'll do anything to publicise their film. That's just what they do and you can't get upset because it's bulls**t. "They're like a great white shark which devours whatever it can."

Ledger's Father 'Proud' Of Batman Performance

Heath Ledger's father Kim and his family are "proud" of the late actor's performance in The Dark Knight - as the film "is everything we hoped it would be and more." Ledger's family flew to New York to attend the screening of the tragic actor's movie on Monday . In a statement released by the family, Ledger's father says, "The Dark Knight is everything we hoped it would be and more. "Heath loved the experience of creating this character and working on the film. We are so proud of our boy." Ledger was found dead from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs at his New York apartment on 22 January . He was 28 years old. The Dark Knight hits movie theatres in the U.S. on 18 July .

Fox And Green Are 'Super Close'

Megan Fox has further dismissed rumours she has split from fiance Brian Austin Green, insisting gossips make up rumours about her because she's "boring". The pair reportedly ended its engagement recently, with Fox alleged to have told pals she is "too young to marry". But the 22-year-old Transformers star insists she and the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star are "super close right now". However, Fox can understand why she has become the subject of gossips: "I guess I'm boring. There's nothing else to write about me because I don't go to clubs or do drugs or fall out of cars drunk."

DeVito To Direct His Own Screenplay

Danny DeVito will direct his own adapted screenplay, which will star Pierce Brosnan and Morgan Freeman.

Cole Has Hepatitis C

Soul singer Natalie Cole has been diagnosed with hepatitis C. The star - daughter of the late Nat King Cole - was forced to pull out of a performance in California last week , citing illness. And now Cole's representative has confirmed that she has been struck down by the chronic liver disease. The condition was revealed during a routine examination and is likely to have been caused by Cole's excessive drug use throughout the 1980s. Dr. Graham Woolf from Los Angeles' UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, who has been treating the Grammy winner, insists she has a good chance of making a full recovery. He says, "She has had a terrific response to her medication and is now virus negative. This gives her an increased chance of cure. But, she has also suffered significant side effects from the anti-viral medicine. Her side effects include fatigue, muscle aches and dehydration but she is recovering from these." And Cole has vowed to fight illness, saying, "I am embraced by the love and support of my family and friends; I am committed to my belief in myself and in my abiding faith to meet this challenge with a heartfelt optimism and determination."
