Jennifer Love Hewitt gets engaged

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

Not sure what Jennifer Love Hewitt did last summer, but we know what was cooking on Thanksgiving.

After nearly two years of dating, the Ghost Whisperer star got engaged to boyfriend Ross McCall last week, Hewitt’s publicist, Sarah Fuller, confirmed to E! News.

The rep said that the 31-year-old Scottish actor presented the 28-year-old actress with an antique ring that had been in his family for years. The couple are currently vacationing in Hawaii.

No other details were forthcoming about where or when the nuptials might take place. This will be Hewitt’s first trip down the aisle.

News of the engagement was first reported by Us Weekly.

The actress’ big break came playing Bailey Salinger’s long-suffering girlfriend Sarah Reeves on Party of Five for four years. While she couldn’t translate that character into spinoff success (Time of Your Life mercifully folded after a few episodes), Hewitt has since figured out how to carry a drama on her own and she is now in her second season helping the dead pass from this world to the next on CBS’ Ghost Whisperer.

Hewitt’s big-screen credits include I Know What You Did Last Summer and its similarly titled sequel, Can’t Hardly Wait, Heartbreakers, The Tuxedo, The Devil and Daniel Webster and Garfield. The petite brunette also put on a funny face to play her idol in the TV movie The Audrey Hepburn Story in 2000.

In 2002, Hewitt had a top-40 single with the title track off her album BareNaked.

McCall, who guest-starred on Ghost Whisperer last year, was in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers and has appeared on CSI: NY and Bones.

Hulk Bodyslams Alimony & Custody Claims

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

When it comes to the terms of his divorce from wife Linda Bollea, Hulk Hogan is more than convinced he knows best.

The wrestler, whose real name is Terry Bollea, has filed a counterpetition to his wife’s divorce suit. In his filing, the Hulkster contests his missus’ call for unspecified alimony and child support, as well as her bid for primary custody of the duo’s speed-demon son, Nick, claiming the 17-year-old should be able to decide for himself with which parent he wishes to reside.

The Hogan Knows Best stars, who have been married for 24 years, also have a daughter, aspiring pop star Brooke, but she’s 19 and not subject to custody arrangements.

In his filing, the 54-year-old mustachioed patriarch left no point undisputed, even questioning the marriage date Linda listed on her divorce petition, filed last week. While she jotted down Dec. 12, 1983 as the big day, the semiretired WWE icon claimed it was actually Dec. 18. Public records back up his timeline.

One thing there doesn’t seem to be much disagreement on is when things went sour for the duo. Per court documents, they separated in September, a month after their son’s car crash left his passenger, Iraq veteran John Graziano, hospitalized in a coma.

In her petition, Linda sought legal custody of Nick until his 18th birthday next July, although she said she was open to “liberal visitation” for the grappler.

In his reply, Terry countered that “it would be in the best interest for the parties to have shared parental responsibility.”

Linda, 48, has also requested half of the couple’s shared assets, which include more than $9.5 million in real-estate holdings, as well as unspecified amounts of alimony and child support. She also wants him to cover all her legal expenses. Hulk, meanwhile, said in his filing that Linda was more than capable of supporting herself and helping to support their son.

He did, however, indicate he would continue to provide health insurance for the family.

As for Linda’s claim to half the couple’s assets, Hulk’s petition mentions “numerous liabilities, contingent liabilities, obligations and debts which must be resolved as part of any equitable distribution that may be accomplished by the court.”

Britney Attorney Sues Anna Nicole’s Estate

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

It was only a matter of time before the respective train wrecks of Britney Spears and Anna Nicole Smith collided.

Sorrell Trope, the Los Angeles family law specialist currently repping Britney Spears in her custody showdown with Kevin Federline, is suing the estate of the late Playmate over an unpaid bill for services rendered during the Dannielynn paternity circus.

The claim, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last Wednesday on behalf of his firm, Trope and Trope, asserts that Smith’s estate owes about $162,000 of a $280,000 tab. (View the lawsuit.)

Trope and Trope toiled for Smith from October 2006 to March, per the court documents. The firm’s tenure ended a month after Smith died from an accidental overdose of prescription medication at age 39.

The complaint was delivered to Bruce Ross, counsel for Howard K. Stern. Stern is the executor of Smith’s estate, which is currently in probate.

Ross and Trope did not return phone calls seeking comment.

For now, the sole heir of Smith’s estate is daughter Dannielynn. Stern has filed paperwork seeking 6 percent of any money the estate gets from her late oil tycoon husband, J. Howard Marshall II. Marshall died in 1995, leaving behind a $500 million fortune that his heirs and Smith, his wife of 13 months, are still contesting.

Last month, one of Smith’s ex-boyfriend’s, Mark “Hollywood” Hatten, also went to court seeking a portion of her assets.

Hatten is currently in the midst of a six-year sentence at the Pleasant Valley State Prison for threatening Smith with a knife and assaulting one of her neighbors. He was also accused of stalking Smith after their relationship flamed out but was acquitted of the charge.

Lindsay Lohan loves ice

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Lindsay Lohan spent last Friday traipsing around in her old stomping grounds with new borefriend Riley Giles — and guess where they made a pit stop?! — XIV Karats Jewelry store! Bling me, baby!

TMZ obtained this photo of La Lohan with diamond designer Daniel K. of New York, posing here after Lohan peeped at his line of rings. A source inside the store tells TMZ that Lindz was so blinded by the bling that she told staff she was “dizzy” from the ice. A staffer explained it could be a new form of “Diamond Therapy.” Ha!

Lohan spent about an hour shopping for bling, trying on a pair of dazzling earrings before busting out. Shortly after, TMZ caught up with the rehabbed couple having dinner near the store.

Move over K-Fed, there’s a new kid in town.

Mary Kate’s Love Life

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Looks like Mary-Kate Olsen may have had a passion for more than just fashion as she checked out the latest couture offerings in Paris last week. The New York Post says the teensy, septuagenarian-chic starlet got all cultural by engaging in some French-style smooching with an unidentified “scruffy” guy while hanging out at a hot spot. Not an unusual encounter for a 21-year-old in the City of Light, right? Alas, the story soon takes a bit of an apocryphal-sounding turn as the paper claims MK’s “tall” suitor “pushed” her against a wall and “furiously made out with her” as their fellow patrons applauded. But wait, it gets even more French New Wave-y, as the clapping quickly turned into a standing ovation when the frisky twin supposedly wound her twiggy legs around her wooer. And somewhere, Uncle Jesse weeps.

Paris Hilton uses her “Get out of Jail Free” card

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Paris Hilton was released from a Los Angeles County jail early Thursday because of an unspecified medical problem.

She’ll serve the remainder of her sentence for violating probation in home confinement, a sheriff’s spokesman said.

The 26-year-old hotel heiress was sent home shortly after 2 a.m. wearing an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet, sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Hilton was sentenced to 45 days for violating her probation in a reckless driving case, but had been expected to serve 23 days in jail because of state rules allowing shorter sentences for good behaviour.

The socialite ended up spending three full days at the all-women’s facility in Lynwood, but because she checked in late Sunday and left early Thursday, authorities credited her with five days of time served.

She will be confined to her Hollywood Hills home for 40 days.

“I can’t specifically talk about the medical situation other than to say that yes it played a part in this,” Whitmore said.

Whitmore refused to answer questions from reporters when asked if the condition was physical or psychological.

He did say it was not a staph infection.

The jail provided her with a pamphlet on the skin infection when she checked in. Inmates released the day she entered the facility had said the jail was dirty and infections common.

She returned to her lavish 251-square-metre home in the Hollywood Hills, where authorities say she will be confined for 40 days.

The eight-bedroom, Spanish-style home, built in 1926, sits on a 593-square-metre lot above the Sunset Strip.

Presumably, Hilton will have the run of the grounds as long as she does not step outside the gates.

The conditions of Hilton’s home confinement were not immediately disclosed.
