On Gear Live: Xiaomi 17 Review: The Compact Flagship That Forgot to Act Small

Mischa BartonMischa Barton refuses to pay her former sobriety coaches. The former The O.C. actress turned handbag designer was ordered to pay Doctors' Choice Nursing (DCN) $95,000 for services they provided her in 2009, but she claims she is not responsible for the outstanding bill as she didn't hire the team to look after her.

A default judgment was entered against the 27-year-old star in 2011 after she failed to show up in court when the company filed a lawsuit to recoup the money owed to them for helping her to stay sober. But Mischa's lawyer argued in court on Thursday that her mother hired the sobriety nurses and therefore she ran up the bills so the actress isn't responsible for them, according to gossip website TMZ.com.

The Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain actress is fighting the default judgment and her lawyer pointed out that the owner of the DCN failed to notify Mischa directly about the mounting bill, saying it didn't make sense if they thought she was responsible for paying it. The owner claimed that she didn't want to add to Mischa's stress, as it was the nurses' job to keep her sober before an important acting role in 2009, the same year that she was starring in The Beautiful Life and was legally held in hospital under psychiatric observation.

Kim Kardashian showing off her baby bumpKanye West and Kim Kardashian are expecting a baby girl.

The reality TV star - who is pregnant with the couple's first child and due to give birth in early July - is said to be "over the moon" after doctor's confirmed they are having a daughter at her latest ultrasound scan. A source close to the 32-year-old beauty told USMagazine.com, "They're over the moon! Kanye always wanted a girl."

The couple, who began dating in April 2012, announced they were expecting their first child in December. The Kourtney & Kim Take Miami star previously refused to say whether she would prefer to have a boy or a girl, insisting she only wanted the baby to be "healthy." But she recently revealed that being pregnant hasn't had too much affect on her busy schedule or her diet. "I used to always say I can't wait to get pregnant because I will just eat whatever I want, but it's completely different. I'm like, OK, I want to eat as healthy as possible," she said.

"I sleep amazing, it's like the best sleep ever. I'm a really easy sleeper though, you can put me on the couch with all these people in the room and say, 'You've got 10 minutes,' and I'll take an eight-minute nap," she admitted.

The Fashion Star mentor and her fiance Eric Johnson - who are already parents to nine-month-old daughter Maxwell Drew - are said to have told friends what they are going to call their impending new arrival, but haven't explained the inspiration behind the name.

"Maxwell can whistle on cue at 9 months! Heck I'm still learning! This lil human impresses me everyday. (sic)" she wrote on Twitter.

Though Jessica and Eric, 33, haven't confirmed the reports of the baby's name, insiders correctly predicted their daughter's moniker some time before she was born.

Michael LohanMichael Lohan is writing his memoir.

The father of troubled actress Lindsay Lohan has signed a deal with South Florida PR firm TransMedia Group and its founder Tom Madden to co-write the book, which will focus on his "rise from drug addiction and imprisonment to a Bible-quoting minister, drug interventionist and successful businessman." Mr. Madden said the tome, I'm Not Your Daddy Dearest... If I Can Turn My Life Around, So Can You, will show a different side to Michael than has been previously portrayed.

"So much of the press Lohan receives misfires as it characterizes him as a 'drug abusing, felonious stock trader,' as opposed to the decent, honorable guy I know. Readers of his tell-all memoir will meet a very different Michael Lohan, the real one," he explained.

The autobiography is also set to focus on Michael's troubled relationship with Lindsay. "Our publicity will show Lohan cares about his daughter, how he battled his own addiction and today helps others stay clean. Often he pleads in interviews for a judge to order his falling star daughter into a six month drugs/detox program which he believes she desperately needs," he added.

Alec BaldwinAlec Baldwin has blamed the paparazzi photographer for their recent altercation.

The 30 Rock star has been accused of racially abusing retired New York Police Detective (NYPD) G. N. Miller, after he found him staking his Manhattan home on Sunday trying to gain information on Alec's pregnant wife, yoga teacher Hilaria Thomas, 28 - who is being sued by a student. However, Alec insists he didn't abuse the photographer and claims he is the victim.

"This guy was right up in my face as I crossed University Place. I get to the other side of the street, and he bumped into me. He banged into me with his shoulder, because he was right on top of me with the camera. In my mind, it was deliberate. I've had that happen before. It happens sometimes, because they want to bait you, they want you to do something. My wife is pregnant and I'm trying to make sure she has as much peace as possible. Who knows what these people can do? While police were here, you'd figure that'd be an opportune time for this guy to really attempt to tar me in some way. But there was no mention of anything I said to him. No one said anything about me saying the n-word or taunting him or anything. So it was after the fact. He wants to say I used some racial slur against him."

Kim KardashianKim Kardashian's divorce trial has been set for May 6.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star split from basketball player Kris Humphries in November 2011 after just 72 days of marriage but they have so far failed to dissolve their union amicably, and while Kim wanted a trial next month because of her pregnancy, the trial will begin in May, according to TMZ.

Kim is expecting her first child with rapper boyfriend Kanye West and is reportedly worried that the drawn out divorce could have "long-term effects" on her baby. The 32-year-old beauty was treated for severe abdominal pains recently, after her doctor rushed to her home in the middle of the night to examine her and warned her to reduce her stress levels.

Kim's mother and manager Kris Jenner also confirmed she has been told to relax: "Kim has been going through this divorce for months. She has been under a lot of stress because of it and the doctors told her she had a really tough week and the stress could become a problem if she isn't careful."
