Uma Thurman Fined Over Worker Treatment

Uma Thurman has been fined $72,000 for failing to adequately provide for her employees.

The Kill Bill actress was issued with the penalty by the Workmen's Compensation Board of the State of New York in March 2013 after being found to have failed to carry workers compensation insurance between December 15, 2011 and December 14, 2012. Documents obtained by RadarOnline.com show a judge has ruled she must pay the fine, as well as acquire workmen's compensation insurance that was in line with New York State laws.

The 43-year-old actress - who has children Maya, 14, and Levon, 10, with ex-husband Ethan Hawke, and Luna, 18 months, with partner Arpad Busson - recently splashed out $10 million on a new apartment in an exclusive New York complex that was previously owned by best-selling novelist Barbara Taylor Bradford and her filmmaker husband Robert. Uma had to pass rigorous home co-operative board approvals before being given the go-ahead to continue with the sale.

The Nymphomaniac actress sold her seven-bedroom New York townhouse for $12 million last year.

Bai Ling Pleads Guilty to Shoplifting

Consequences have finally come back around to the sexy-yet-eccentric Chinese actress Bai Ling, who pulled a Winona last month at LAX, shoplifting a pack of batteries, and, ironically, tabloids.

Ling pleaded guilty on Wednesday to disturbing the peace, agreeing to pay over $700 in penalties and fines. Definitely beats any time in the can, though, right?

Later that evening, the Southland Tales actress confusingly claimed, “I told you the truth is going to be told and I am innocent!!!” on her blog. Ling, who also appeared in the cult hit, The Crow, also stated that she “will drink a sexy red wine tonight after filming and celebrate! I am smiling for real!”
