Lamar Odom has been accused of failing to donate money raised through his charity to cancer research.
The LA Clippers star - who has been married to reality TV star and X Factor host Khloe Kardashian for three years - is facing allegations that none of the money raised through his foundation Cathy's Kids, which was named after his late mother who died from cancer when he was 12, has been donated to help fight cancer.
According to official records, obtained by ESPN's Outside the Lines, there is no evidence that any of the $2.2 million raised through Lamar's organization, which was set up with the intention of raising money for underprivileged kids in New York and LA and for cancer research, went to a cancer charity. But the basketball star's tax records show that $1.3 million of the total amount was used to fund two "elite" basketball teams for young people, who reportedly were good enough to already be on the radar of colleges for scholarships and other financial help. There is allegedly no evidence of where the remaining $900,000 went.

Alec 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."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
Lady Gaga's former personal assistant claims she was forced to sleep in the same bed as the star.
The "Edge Of Glory" hitmaker is being sued by ex-employee Jennifer O'Neill, who claims Gaga owes her $380,000 in overtime payments because she had to spend 24 hours a day with her and share the same bed during The Monster Ball tour in 2010.
According to court papers obtained by the New York Post's Page Six, Jennifer testified, "I was by her side virtually 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That includes sleeping in the same bed with her. Because she did not sleep alone."
When asked if sleeping with Lady Gaga - whose real name is Stefani Germanotta - was a "required" part of her job, she said, "I felt it was. Unlike anybody else on that tour, I did not have my own hotel room. I was not asked if I wanted my own hotel room."

Justin Bieber is being investigated for possible assault with a toy. The "As Long As You Love Me" singer has been accused of hitting a female security guard at a concert venue he was performing at in Ottawa, Canada in November, with a projectile from a child friendly nerf gun.

Travis Barker Wrongly Accused of Being in a Gang Because of His Tattoos
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
Travis Barker believes that his tattoos make police suspicious of him.
The Blink-182 drummer claims he has been unfairly "profiled" twice by the Los Angeles Police Department who immediately presumed him to be a drug-dealer and a member of a violent gang because of his extensive body art.
A spokesperson for the 39-year-old rocker told gossip website TMZ that he was pulled over by police while he was on his way to pick up his daughter in his customized Chevy in LA last Wednesday for not having a front license plate. The spokesperson said upon seeing Travis's tattoos the police officer "accused him of having drugs and weapons in the car" before suggesting he was a member of a gang.
His car was then searched and the father-of-three was free to leave the scene with a ticket and a warning to replace his license plate. According to Travis, this is the second time in a year that he was incorrectly accused of being part of a gang and carrying drugs because of his appearance.
Lawsuit Against John Travolta Thrown Out by Judge

John Travolta has been cleared of accusations he ruined an author's reputation.
Robert Randolph wrote You'll Never Spa In This Town Again, in which he made claims the Pulp Fiction actor enjoyed gay sexual relations in Los Angeles' City Spa in the 1990s but then claimed John and his lawyer Marty Singer had falsely accused him of having serious mental problems to try and make him out to be an unreliable source.
However, a judge has thrown out his lawsuit against John and Mr. Singer, ruling a letter in which they made the accusations was a legitimate part of the legal dispute and so they cannot be prosecuted for it, according to TMZ.
Both John and Marty have previously issued statements branding the lawsuit "ridiculous." A representative for the Hairspray star said, "The lawsuit filed by Robert Randolph is absurd. The suit is based on a privileged communication, and it will promptly be thrown out by the court. To evaluate the credibility of Robert Randolph and his ridiculous lawsuit one need look no further than his own statements published on his website stating that he sustained 'permanent brain damage' and had to 'retrain' his brain."

Mel Gibson Accused of Hating Jews

Mel Gibson has been accused of "hating Jews" by the writer of Basic Instinct. Joe Eszter has launched a scathing attack on Mel claiming he sabotaged a movie they had planned together, The Maccabees - which tells the story of Judah Maccabee, a Jew who led a revolt against the Seleucid Empire - because he is anti-Semitic.
"I've come to the conclusion that you never had, or have, any intention of making a film about the Maccabees. I believe you announced the project with great fanfare - 'a Jewish Braveheart' - in an attempt to deflect continuing charges of anti-Semitism which have dogged you. I've come to the conclusion that the reason you won't make The Maccabees is the ugliest possible one. You hate Jews," he wrote in part of a nine page letter.
Joe further claims the actor-and-director was happy when Beatles legend John Lennon was shot and killed in 1980 because he had a messiah complex and also accuses him of denying the holocaust and repeatedly calling Jews "oven dodgers."
