Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony Won’t Fight Over Kids
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Divorce, Celebrity Babies, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony will not have a custody battle over their twins.
The couple split last July after seven years of marriage, but they are keen to make the divorce as amicable as possible for the sake of four-year-old twins Max and Emme, as their welfare and happiness is the most important thing to them.
"The parties are working together to reach a friendly resolution that's in the best interest of their children," Jennifer's lawyer Ron Anteau told People.
Sources also say Marc doesn't want any financial support from Jennifer, who is now dating dancer Casper Smart. "He's not seeking financial support from her in this divorce. This is about trying to figure out how best for two very busy parents to share their children," one insider said.
Earlier this month, Marc filed for divorce from Jennifer, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

Marc Anthony Files for Divorce from Jennifer Lopez
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Divorce, Legal Issues,
Marc Anthony has filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez. The former couple - who have four-year-old twins Max and Emme - separated after seven-years of marriage last July. Now Marc, 43, has started proceedings to officially end the union, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the split.
People Magazine reports that in papers filed at Los Angeles Supreme Court on Monday, the musician asks for joint legal and physical custody of the children, and for spousal support to be denied if Jennifer, 42, asks for it.
Since parting ways, the pair have remained friends and continue to work together on reality show Q'Viva! The Chosen. However, Jennifer - who has now moved on with 24-year-old dancer Casper Smart - admits the break-up has been a painful process:
"Without going into detail ... it's just really, really sad. And look, we are still going through it, and it's emotional sometimes and difficult. We're still friends - and we're parents. But it's going to take time. It's tough. But for the most part, I feel very proud of the way we're handling it. I really do. We are doing the best we can for the kids."
Charlie Sheen: Brooke Is Not a Drug Dealer

Charlie Sheen claims Brooke Mueller would "never" be a drug dealer.
Despite the reality TV star being charged with assault and intent to distribute drugs when she was arrested in Aspen, Colorado, last weekend, Sheen maintains Brooke wouldn't need to sell illegal substances because of the generous child support he gives her for their two-year-old twin sons Bob and Max. Charlie - who is believed to give Brooke somewhere in the region of $55,000 per month in child maintenance - told TMZ, "With the child support I give her ... she's gonna deal drugs? Never gonna happen."
Meanwhile, the troubled star admitted the former couple are considering sharing custody of their sons, who are currently primarily in Brooke's care. "We're interested in co-parenting ... the kids need two parents." However, Brooke is hoping to have the charges against her dropped. Her representative Steve Honig insists lawyer Yale Galanter will "vigorously defend Brooke with the goal of having all charges dropped once the facts of the case come to light."
Oksana Grigorieva Turned Down Mel Gibson’s $15 Million
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Celebrity Babies, Meltdowns,
Oksana Grigorieva turned down a $15 million settlement offer from ex-lover Mel Gibson because he wanted shared custody of their daughter.
The Russian singer - who is currently involved in a bitter custody battle with Mel for their 11-month-old daughter Lucia - refused the huge financial offer because she didn’t want the “unstable” actor getting so much access to their child.
“The $15 million was a proposal that I walked away from because he wanted 50 per cent custody of an infant when he’s unstable.”
Oksana also claims Mel punched her in the head while she was holding Lucia, during an argument on January 6. “Mel ran in and started screaming all kinds of nasty words. Then he just hit me twice with his fist. Boom, boom, to my head and my mouth. I fell on top of the bed. I’m just covering the baby and not protecting myself. He proceeds to choke me with both his hands,” she said in an interview with People magazine.
The 40-year-old beauty alleges the 54-year-old actor used a mixture of threats and pleading to convince her not to leave him after the incident:

Courtney Love Fears Frances Bean Will Overdose
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Courtney Love fears her daughter will die of a drugs overdose.
The Hole singer, who has 17-year-old Frances Bean with late husband Kurt Cobain, admits she is concerned by the amount of money the teenager receives under the terms of the Nirvana frontman’s will, particularly as she no longer lives with her mother.
“She is going to be 18 on 15 August. Thank God, because then this whole palaver will be done. She lives in a mansion by herself. A 17 year old getting $40,000 a month is outrageous to me, that’s on top of them paying for the mansion. She lives with her nanny, and Grandma Wendy and Kim - Kurt’s mother and sister - live two doors down, but there’s no drug testing going on. It’s a lot of money for a normal person. It’s enough money to kill her, if she is doing drugs, enough money to be gone by the time she’s 22,” Courtney - who was banned from contacting Frances last year by a court - said.
Despite her concerns, Courtney also thinks Frances is too sensible to go off the rails and says the teenager has turned down many opportunities to become famous in her own right:

Brad Splits From Angelina?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Dating, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reportedly visited divorce lawyers to help them separate.
The pair - who aren’t married, but have been dating since 2004 and raise six children together - are believed to have signed legal documents earlier this month with the plan to split up in the near future. The legal document will reportedly see their $330 million fortune halved in two, while the pair will have joint custody of their kids.
A source told the News of the World newspaper, “The document was signed in early January. Both Brad and Angelina had signed it. The contract was like a tailor-made version of a pre-nuptial agreement except for an unmarried couple’s split. It seemed clear they want the world to know they’ll both play a part in the upbringing of the children. But Angelina will actually be the one who lives with them full-time.”
Brad and Angelina have three adopted children, Maddox, eight, Pax, six, and Zahara, five, as well as three biological kids, Shiloh, three and 17-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne. It is believed the pair visited a top Los Angeles law firm in December last year, and have since hired a lawyer specialising in celebrity divorces. While an official separation date has not been confirmed, it has been claimed the couple plan to announce their split soon.

Courtney Love Slams Daughter on Facebook
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Child Stars, Drugs, Legal Issues, Rants, Rumors,
Although Courtney Love initially appeared to be tight-lipped when the news broke that she lost custody of her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, the troubled musician has now broken her silence.
No stranger to blasting ludicrous remarks on Facebook, Love used the social networking site to spew hateful thoughts about her 17 year-old daughter, whose father was the late Kurt Cobain.
“I hate to sound cold but any kid of mine who pulls this s**t has lost her position… she was deceptive, she lied and she’s lying to herself… My daughter is not always honest. The fact is fbc [Frances Bean Cobain] is deluded. She thinks she has all this money. The point is I have all the money she has. Frances is clearly deluded that she can buy her grandmother a small house in la [Los Angeles]. I’d love to see how that works. They’ll incubate her [sic] til shes 18 and then have her sign all the [sic] indnemofications.”
This is not the first time Love has lost custody of Frances Bean; Love’s lawyers assure that she did not have a drug relapse and the matter was simply Frances Bean’s decision to live with her grandparents over her mother.
In the end, however, Love ends her internet tirade with words that somewhat resemble that of a woman showing motherly care (despite what she had said previously).

Jackson Custody Hearing Postponed - Again!
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Legal Issues,
The Jackson custody hearing, scheduled to commence Monday, has now been pushed back to August 3. It’s only another of many postponements in the case, which has been repeatedly delayed as Katherine Jackson (Michael’s mother and the current custody-holder) and Debbie Rowe (biological mom to the two oldest kids) work behind the scenes to decide upon an appropriate settlement.
According to reports, the hearing has been delayed because the two are actually close to reaching a settlement. Until the August hearing, Katherine will retain custody of the kids.

Debbie Rowe Plays She Said, They Said With the Press
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Divorce, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,
It isn’t often that the New York Post makes a mistake, but when they do, they do it pretty big. The front-page banner ad printed by the paper today, claiming that Debbie Rowe will accept $4 million in exchange for dropping her custody claim, is inaccurate.
Not only inaccurate, it’s created a resulting media fire storm of lawyers, angry letters and additional headlines. If I didn’t know better, I’d say the false story was planted on purpose for just this reason…
