Trial Delayed for Jennifer Hudson’s Murdered Family
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Where Are They Now?,
Jennifer Hudson‘s brother-in-law has been granted another continuance in his trial for allegedly murdering her family.
William Balfour - who has been charged with three counts of first degree murder and one of home invasion - has been told the case against him has been put back, meaning he will still not face court over the killings of the singer’s mother Darnell Donerson, 57, brother Jason Hudson, 29, and seven-year-old nephew Julian King.
Jennifer’s mother and brother were found in Jennifer’s childhood home in Chicago’s South Side on October 24, 2008. Julian’s body was found in a vehicle in Chicago a few days later. All three had multiple gunshot wounds.
Balfour - who has been jailed without bond since his arrest on December 1, 2008- denies all involvement in the killings. It has previously been alleged that Balfour - who is the estranged husband of Jennifer’s sister Julia - killed Darnell, Jason and Julian after becoming overcome with envy when he saw Julia receive a birthday present from a new boyfriend.

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.”

Portia de Rossi Taking Ellen’s Name
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Weddings, Legal Issues,
Actress Portia de Rossi is taking on her wife Ellen DeGeneres’ surname.
The 37-year-old actress - who married the talk show host almost two years ago - filed a petition in a Los Angeles court to formally become Portia DeGeneres. “Petitioner is taking the last name of her spouse,” court papers state.
Portia signed the documents in March this year and filed them in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, but the name change won’t be official until a hearing takes place on September 23. Although Portia is cementing the couple’s love for one another by changing her name, it doesn’t look as if children are on the cards for them
Ellen, 52, recently revealed she and Portia have no plans to start a family: “I don’t think we’re going to have kids. We have animals, and we love them. And, you know, we are brand new aunts. Her brother and his wife just had a baby girl who’s a month old now, and it’s fun to be a part of that. It’s just a huge responsibility, and I don’t know that that’s something we want to take on. We’re very happily married without children.”
Portia and Ellen married in front of 30 guests at their Beverly Hills home on August 16 2008.
Nolan Ryan outbids Mark Cuban for the Texas Rangers
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Front Office, MLB,
The Texas Rangers are having a pretty good season this year. The last time you probably heard somebody say that was in 1999 when the Rangers were swept by the New York Yankees in the American League Divisional Series. Since then, the Rangers plummeted in the ranks of the AL West and have slowly been climbing to get out of it. The latest chapter of Rangers history began yesterday when Nolan Ryan outbid Mark Cuban to become the newest owner of the recovering franchise.

Lindsay Lohan Lets Her Finger Do the Talking
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues,
UPDATE: Lohan claims the message on her nail was not meant for the judge.
By now, chances are you’ve already heard the audible gasps and explanations Lindsay Lohan delivered yesterday in court. But what you probably didn’t catch were the words she never actually spoke. (And, I’m guessing, the judge didn’t notice them either.)
Although Lilo made sure she dressed appropriately for her sentencing, there was one small part of her attire she didn’t tone down: her fingernail polish. Photos taken during the proceeding later revealed a telling message she placed on her middle finger.
So how many extra days of jail time do you think Judge Marsha Revel would have added had she seen the decorative “F**k U” art?

Cop at Lindsay Lohan’s DUI Scene Tampered With Evidence
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues,
Whether or not people think she deserves it, Lindsay Lohan got a big break. Perhaps not career-wise, but more along the lines of her legal woes…
Lohan’s now-infamous 2007 DUI could have been a lot worse for the celebrity fashion designer. According to a Santa Monica Police report, the officer at the scene of the crime mistook her cocaine for a crushed breath mint!
“[I] discovered a folded Clinique sun care card with an unknown substance caked on to the surface of the card in Lohan’s right rear pocket… Some of the white substance fell to the floor. I used my foot to see what had fell but thought nothing of it. I did not recognize the substance attached to the card and initially thought the substance was a wet crushed breath mint. I put the card into the jail trash can next to the booking windows. I was looking at the floor and began to recognize the substance as resembling powder cocaine. I then recovered the card from the trash.”
Either she paid the guy or he’s a big enough fan of the actress to tamper with the evidence—could a police officer truly be that incompetent?

Probation Extended For Nicole Richie
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Celebrity Babies, Drunk, Legal Issues, Where Are They Now?,
Lindsay Lohan could learn something from Nicole Richie, who recently extended her probation.
The socialite - who was put on probation in 2006 following a driving under the influence (DUI) offence, after being arrested for driving the wrong way down a Los Angeles motorway and failing a sobriety test - was told it wouldn’t be terminated next month as expected, because she hasn’t attended enough alcohol education classes.
According to her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley - who appeared in a Los Angeles court yesterday - the 28-year-old starlet failed to complete the course because she has been too busy looking after her children Harlow, two, and nine-month-old Sparrow, her kids with her rocker fiance Joel Madden.
Her probation period has now been extended to March 2011, but the judge has promised to terminate it early if she completed the alcohol program before then. Despite the extension, Nicole has been praised for her work on the course so far. Her report states, “Her attitude is excellent.”

Heidi Montag Files For Legal Separation
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: D-List, Television, Break-ups, Legal Issues, Breaking News,
It’s looking a lot less like a hoax: Heidi Montag is filing for legal separation from Spencer Pratt.
The reality star has been spotted entering the Santa Monica Courthouse in California with papers in her hand earlier today. “It’s a legal separation. It’s all Heidi can do until a lawyer gets 100 per cent involved,” a source revealed.
Onlookers claim 23-year-old Heidi looked serious as she entered the courthouse and was without her usual makeup and hairstyling. In legal papers seen by TMZ, Heidi claims “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the separation.
The actress-and-singer initially went to the Malibu Courthouse to file the papers, but was told they did not deal with family cases and she would have to go to Santa Monica. Heidi recently revealed she was planning to have the “best summer” following her split from 26-year-old Pratt - who she married in a secret ceremony 14 months ago.
Writing on her Twitter page she said, “Laying out in the hot sun! Enjoying the beach. This is going to be the best summer of my life!!!!!!(sic)”

Lindsay Lohan Passes Drug Tests
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Drugs, Legal Issues,
Lindsay Lohan has passed two drug tests.
The actress - who was ordered by a court to agree to random screening under the conditions of her recent probation hearing for driving under the influence (DUI) convictions - is said to be doing well in her bid to stay sober.
“She is clear of illegal substances. She has already taken two tests and passed both,” a source revealed.
The 23-year-old star - who was also told she must wear an alcohol-monitoring SCRAM bracelet - has impressed her parents with her bid to stay “on the straight and narrow.”
Her father Michael Lohan - who has repeatedly claimed the actress needs treatment for prescription drug addiction - said, “I am happy for her. She’s on the straight and narrow. I hope it continues.”
Michael and ex-wife Dina Lohan - who have feuded bitterly over their famous daughter - appeared before a judge in New York yesterday and claim their ongoing dispute over child support for their three kids is now resolved, leaving them to focus on helping Lindsay.
