Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce, Celebrity Babies, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have begun discussing their divorce settlement.
Katie filed for divorce from Tom after five years of marriage late last month, and lawyers for both of them are now in talks to settle issues including child custody, visitation and child support for their six-year-old daughter Suri and property division.
According to TMZ.com, there are no immediate plans to go to court unless the negotiations fall apart. Should things go well, the settlement could be completed in New York, the city where Katie filed for divorce.
Katie is seeking sole legal and residential custody of Suri, and it is believed that she would more likely gain it in New York than in California, where Tom was thought to be filing his own papers.

Robert Randolph wrote You'll Never Spa In This Town Again, in which he makes claims the Pulp Fiction actor enjoyed gay sexual relations in Los Angeles' City Spa in the 1990s. His lawsuit claims John and his lawyer Marty Singer had falsely claimed he had serious mental problems and had spent time in a psychiatric hospital, to try and make him out to be an unreliable source and prevent other media and booksellers writing about or carrying his tome.
Both John, 58, and Marty have issued statements branding the lawsuit "ridiculous."
"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," a representative to the actor said.

The socialite's lawyers are keen to speak with Myla Sinanaj - who began dating the basketball player in January - to find out whether Kris said anything to her in relation to his claim that the 72-day marriage was fraud. Kim's lawyer is also said to want details of hundreds of text messages and emails between Myla and Kris.
According to gossip website TMZ, Kris initially hid the relationship because he was worried it would impact on the divorce case as he and his representatives felt him moving on just over two months after he and Kim split would make it appear he wasn't "devastated" by the reality TV star's decision to file for divorce despite his previous statements.
Myla's lawyer previously admitted his client would be prepared to help Kim in her divorce proceedings.

Justin Bieber will be quizzed by police over his alleged brawl with a photographer.
The 'Boyfriend' singer was reportedly involved in an altercation with a photographer in a shopping center car park in Calabasses, California, in May, and is expected to be called in for questioning when he returns to the US.
Lawyer Anahita Sedaghatfar - who is not connected with the case - told Fox News yesterday, "He will definitely be called in for questioning. This is a high-profile case which has gotten a ton of media attention. The police will have to dot their Is and cross their Ts for sure. However, Bieber is under no legal obligation to talk to the police. He likely will speak to them nevertheless, of course with his attorneys' guidance."
According to the legal expert, the case is unlikely to be taken further until Justin speaks to police. "The police will have to get his side of the story in order to determine whether to dump the case or turn it over to prosecutors. They certainly cannot press charges based on the little evidence they have now," the lawyer added.

The athlete is currently involved in a battle divorce battle with the reality TV star and now his former flame Myla Sinanaj is threatening to hand over vital information to Kim.
"My client isn't going to rule anything out at this point including whether or not she would be willing to assist Kim Kardashian in her divorce case. I will say this, Kris Humphries has to be the only 7ft man in the universe to have two women under 6ft tall bully, defraud and attempt to extort him. It's absolutely ridiculous," Myla's attorney, and former prosecutor, Joe Tacopina, told RadarOnline.com.
Earlier this week, Myla demanded Kris apologize for trying to destroy her reputation. Tacopina suggested the NBA player had gone on a campaign of destruction against her to make himself look better in his divorce court battle. It recently emerged that Kris' lawyers had contacted the FBI, claiming Myla tried to extort him by demanding a huge sum of money or she would spill secrets about their relationship to the media.

The 20-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore was charged with two misdemeanors on Tuesday after being arrested for allegedly drinking beer at New York's Union Square on Monday and giving officers a fake ID, but she doesn't want to end up with a criminal record over the incident.
Explaining why she won't be pleading guilty, Scout's lawyer Stacey Richman told People.com, "It would be outrageous to mar a person that's clearly going places - clearly seeking to have a career... with a criminal record. The goal is clearly a non-criminal offer."
The lawyer went on to describe the student as "clearly intelligent" and "devoted to her studies" and branded the arrest "ridiculous."

The bus driver who accused Matthew Fox of punching her has dropped her case.
Heather Bormann had accused the Lost star of punching her after he drunkenly tried to get onto her vehicle and demanded she drove him to his hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, last year. However, she has now ended her lawsuit, with the actor not having to pay any settlement. Her lawyer, J. Norman Stark, added to website TMZ he had also dropped Bormann as a client recently because she was difficult to deal with.
"Suddenly and without provocation, Fox attacked plaintiff with his fists, delivering sudden and severe blows to her right breast, groin, arm and legs, inflicting severe, disabling injury and pain to plaintiff," Heather's original lawsuit had claimed.
Matthew - who is married to Margherita Ronchi, with whom he has two children, daughter Kyle and son Byron - has also dropped his countersuit against Heather, which he had filed claiming defamation.
The court dismissal comes in the same week as Matthew was accused by former Lost co-star Dominic Monaghan of "beating women."

Justin Bieber may be prosecuted for assault.
The "Boyfriend" singer had a run in with a paparazzi photographer on Sunday, and the case is being referred to the Los Angeles County District Attorney for possible criminal prosecution. Website TMZ says the police have decided to refer the case to prosecutors even though their investigations are not complete, a fairly common practice in high profile cases.
If Justin were charged and convicted of criminal battery, he could face up to six months in jail. Police also want to speak to Justin, 18, about the incident, but he is currently in Norway.
The scuffle occurred at The Commons mall in Calabasas, California, when the photographer tried to take a picture of the "Never Say Never singer and his girlfriend, Selena Gomez. Following the altercation, the photographer called the police before he was taken to hospital complaining of chest pains, although he was discharged shortly afterwards. He later filed a police report naming Justin as the culprit.
