Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Celebrity Babies, Legal Issues,
Oksana Grigorieva is to receive an increase of $15,000 a month from ex-boyfriend Mel Gibson.
The Russian singer - who split from the actor amid claims he attacked her while the couple’s 11-month-old daughter Lucia was in her arms - will now receive a total of $20,000 per month in child support payments from the 54-year-old star.
According to gossip website TMZ, Judge Scott Gordon, who is presiding over the couple’s custody battle, issued an order yesterday afternoon to raise Mel’s maintenance payments. However, Oksana is likely to be disappointed with the ruling, after reportedly requesting $60,000 a month from her former partner.

Mel Gibson Didn’t Offer Enough Money for Oksana Tapes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Celebrity Babies, Legal Issues,
Oksana Grigorieva played tapes of Mel Gibson’s rants to her lawyers because his attorneys didn’t offer her enough money.
Emails have been released in which the Russian singer - who recorded telephone conversations in which Mel makes threats to her and tells her she was a “****” - reveals their 11-month-old daughter Lucia was offered a “generous gift” but there was “nothing” in it for her.
“As far as the tapes go, I only played one to my lawyer, because on March 15 Michelle proposed on ur behalf not a very generous gift for our daughter and there was nothing for me. My lowers also told me that Tom Hansen [one of Mel’s lawyers] said I wouldn get a penny. (sic),” Oksana wrote in one email obtained by gossip website TMZ.
However, her lawyer Daniel Horowitz has revealed she was reluctant to play the tapes to him, because she didn’t want to “hurt” the star: “Oksana was legally entitled to play all of the tapes for her lawyers and most clients would have done so. She was being supremely careful of Mel’s privacy because she knew that even lawyers in Hollywood might lose track of the tapes and she didn’t want to hurt him.”

Lindsay Lohan Misdiagnosed, Demanding Apology From Courts
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues, Rants, Rumors,
Despite being on rehab lock-down, Lindsay Lohan is making quite the fuss, reportedly wanting an apology from the Californian courts.
The actress is said to be “fuming” after medical assessments at the UCLA Medical Center - where she is currently undergoing a 90-day stint as part of her sentence for breaching probation - found she may have been misdiagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and is not suffering from bipolar disorder or addicted to drugs as was previously claimed.
Instead, medics believe it is possible her prescription for Adderall, which treats ADD, led to her erratic behavior, meaning the 24-year-old star feels her sentence was unfair. “Lindsay is fuming - she is really upset that the courts put her through all this,” said a source.
Although the insider says Lindsay’s representatives are “exploring their options,” it is not expected she will be able to gain legal action against the perceived damage to her public image. Criminal Defence Attorney Steve Cron explained to Fox 411’s Pop Tarts, “No judge or prosecutor could be sued under these circumstances, they have absolute immunity. Judge Revel formulated her opinion of Lindsay based on the information she had at the time from another program. The judge could still be dissatisfied with the report from UCLA and seek independent opinions or insist Lindsay be enrolled in other programs.”

Taylor Lautner Sues Trailer Company
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rants, Rumors,
There’s a new he-diva around town: Taylor Lautner is suing a trailer company for “emotional distress.”
The Twilight star planned to buy a customized 2006 Country Coach Recreational Vehicle (RV) for $300,000 to use while filming new movie Abduction but has launched legal action over his “annoyance” that the vehicle wasn’t delivered on time.
The actor filed a lawsuit at Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday against McMahon’s RV after the dealership failed to have the vehicle delivered by the agreed date of June 21. Taylor, 18, has claimed breach of contract and fraud and is demanding unspecified damages from the company.
Michael Douglas Defends Earnings From Ex-Wife
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Divorce, Legal Issues,
Michael Douglas’ ex-wife has filed a lawsuit claiming she is entitled to half the money he has earned from new film Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
Diandra Luker received a $45 million payout from the couple’s divorce in 2000, but she now claims she is entitled to 50 percent of the earnings Michael makes from any spinoffs to his previous films. The 65-year-old actor - who has been married to Catherine Zeta-Jones for 10 years - is said be furious with his former spouse’s suit.
Michael starred in the original Wall Street movie in 1987, and according to him, the new Oliver Stone movie is a “sequel”, not a “spinoff.” However, Diandra’s lawyer Nancy Chemtob told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper last week, “It’s the same character, the same title, just years later.”
Michael’s lawyer Marilyn Chinitz said, “They’re not the same thing. He doesn’t want her to be an albatross around his neck forever.” On Wednesday, Justice Cooper told the lawyers he hasn’t yet come to a conclusion regarding the case and he will not until he decides whether it should go ahead in New York or be sent back to Santa Barbara, California, where the former couple divorced.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
Mariah Carey is being sued by her vet.
The singer - who is married to rapper-and-presenter Nick Cannon - reportedly owes just under $30,000 in unpaid bills for Dr. Cindy Bressler’s services for her pets. The veterinarian filed claims in a New York court yesterday, alleging the pop star has paid just $8,200 towards the $37,800 worth of charges for “extraordinary services” given to her three dogs, JJ, Cha Cha and Dolomite in one month. The filing states Cindy tended to the pets “at the special instance and request” of Mariah between October 31 and December 2, 2009.
“She rendered veterinary services including extraordinary services to the defendant’s canines. Dr. Bressler performed work, labor and services on the defendant’s canines… at the agreed price and reasonable value of $37,790.32, which sum Mariah agreed to pay.”
If Cindy’s claim is successful, Mariah will also have to pay her legal costs making the final total sum higher. Cindy’s attorney told gossip website TMZ the vet was in charge of feeding and grooming the pooches while Mariah was away in Los Angeles.
A spokesperson for 41-year-old Mariah said her legal team were not aware of the lawsuit.

Deceased child actor Gary Coleman, best-known for his role as Arnold on Diff’rent Strokes, will not be remembered with a funeral service. An independent attorney appointed to Coleman’s convoluted case announced the decision on Wednesday.
The decree comes on the heels of several confusing media reports, multiple wills purportedly written by the late actor, and a dramatic courtroom battle featuring his ex-wife, his ex-girlfriend and his estranged parents. Independent litigator Robert Jeffs was appointed to the case on Monday. His decision honors the request regarding funeral services made in Coleman’s 2005 will.
