Kanye West Pleas Not Guilty

Kanye West has pled "not guilty" after being charged with allegedly attacking a paparazzo.

The 36-year-old rapper - who was caught on film reportedly assaulting photographer Daniel Ramos at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in July, was charged with criminal battery and attempted grand theft stemming from the incident last month but did not appear in court for the latest hearing on Thursday, and his lawyer Blair Berk entered the plea on his behalf.

If convicted of both misdemeanors, the "New Slaves" hitmaker could be sentenced to one year in jail.

Speaking outside the court afterward, Ramos' lawyer Gloria Allred criticized the rapper for not being present even though he wasn't legally required to be. "It's just interesting to me that one of the most visible people in the entire world, Kanye West, who seems to love the press when it comes to promoting his music, when it comes to his relationships, especially family relationships, doesn't appear to want to at least come to court," she told TMZ. "I understand that his tour was cancelled so I don't see a reason why he couldn't be here, he certainly had a right to be here today," she added.

Lindsay Lohan's alleged assault victim and her celebrity civil rights lawyer Gloria Allred have been spotted at the District Attorney's office in New York.

Fortune teller Tiffany Mitchell - who claims the Liz & Dick actress hit her in the face and spat on her in a New York nightclub last month - hired the well known legal expert last weekend, who has previously represented one of Tiger Woods' mistresses and also taken on alleged sexual harassment cases against Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Travolta and Rob Lowe.

The pair are said to have visited the D.A. to discuss their case and evidence against Lindsay, according to gossip website RadarOnline.com. "I can confirm that I am representing Tiffany Mitchell and I have no further comment at this time," Gloria previously said.

John Travolta Accuser Could File Charges Again

A masseur who dropped sexual battery charges against John Travolta may still launch another suit against the star.

The man - known only as John Doe #1 - filed papers yesterday to have the allegations dismissed but has now hired another lawyer, civil rights attorney Gloria Allred, who has admitted her new client is deciding what to do next.

"I represent John Doe Number One. Mr. Doe's lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice which means that he is still legally entitled to file another lawsuit against John Travolta if he chooses. We are in the process of conferring with him regarding the next steps, which he may wish to take. Our client and our firm has no further comment at this time," said Ms. Allred.

The man - who claimed Travolta had behaved inappropriately during a massage on January 16 in Los Angeles - was dropped by his lawyer, Okorie Okorocha, after the actor's attorney Marty Singer provided evidence that suggested the Pulp Fiction star was in New York at the time of the alleged incident. The masseur later claimed to have gotten his dates confused.
