Kanye West and Kim KardashianKim Kardashian and Kanye West are suing YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and the rapper claim the billionaire "manipulated" his way into AT&T Park in San Francisco and released unauthorized footage of the moment the "New Slaves" hitmaker proposed to her on her 33rd birthday on October 21.

According to court documents, obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, the couple are accusing Hurley of scheming to post the video of the intimate moment on his new Internet venture, MixBit. Their lawyer Eric George also trashes the entrepreneur, claiming Hurley is desperate to find a "second act" because two of his other businesses have flopped since he sold YouTube for $1.65 billion.

It was previously reported that Kanye invited Kim's close family and friends, along with several well known Silicon Valley founders to watch his surprise proposal, but Hurley wasn't invited and they only let him stay after he signed a confidentiality agreement. They attached a picture of him holding the agreement to the lawsuit, which also states, "Hurley proceeded to try to turn the event into one starring himself, broadcasting the images he knew were the exclusive property rights of someone else."

Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan has been asked to pay back part of an appearance fee after turning up late.

The Mean Girls actress was reportedly paid over $50,000 to host a Halloween party at Foxwoods casino in Connecticut on Thursday, but the event organizers are attempting to claim back some of her generous payday because she was more than 90 minutes late and didn't honor the full extent of her duties.

According to TMZ, Lindsay was due to arrive at 10pm local time, but only showed up at 11:43pm. The 27-year-old star also refused to walk the red carpet, where she was expected to pose for photographers and meet with some lucky fans, and went straight inside the venue. Lawyers for the establishment are now hoping to renegotiate their contract with the actress because they feel she didn't uphold their agreement.

However, eyewitnesses say Lindsay and co-host, boxer Floyd Mayweather, did a great job hosting a Halloween costume contest on stage. Floyd, who was reportedly paid the same amount as the Liz & Dick star, also arrived late but made up for his tardiness by meeting with fans, signing autographs and taking photos. Lindsay appeared in fancy dress at the event, styling herself as classic horror character Carrie White from the movie Carrie.

Kelly needed the help of her fiance Matthew Mosshart to complete her gruesome look for fright night. Writing on her Twitter page before heading out, she posted,
Soooo excited for tonight's #Halloween costume!!!! Getting my fiance to poor a bucket of blood over my head!!! es I'm going as Carrie however I have a feeling I might end up looking like a tampon! [sic]." She added, "#LetTheBloodPouringBegin! This feels disgusting! [sic]."

Kelly traded in her violet locks for an auburn wig, which she teamed with a delicate tiara and had fake blood all over her face and chest as well as her dress.


Portia de RossiPortia de Rossi "didn't want" to be a lesbian.

The 40-year-old actress was very nervous about publicly coming out, something she did in 2005, because she always thought that being gay was "strange" and also because she didn't know any famous women who were openly lesbians. In a revealing interview on The Conversation With Amanda De Cadenet, she said, "I just didn't want to be a lesbian. I'd never met one for a start and I just thought they were strange and that they hated men and they were very serious and I had these ridiculous images in my head and there were no out celebrities or politicians or anybody that I could look to and go, 'Oh, I could be like that.' There was nobody that I could say, 'I could date her and I want to be like her.' I just kind of thought I don't want to live like this. I don't have to, I don't need to, I just shut down the emotional life."

Not coming out had a very negative effect on Portia's life. The actress battled different eating disorders while she was starring in Ally McBeal from 1998 to 2002, and she believes they were symptoms of her hiding her sexuality. "The thing that kept me company was my eating disorder. It was like a lover, it was like somebody who never ever left me. Like a thought that would always keep me excited, interested and focused. It's adrenaline," she explained.

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-JonesMichael Douglas is back with Catherine Zeta-Jones.

The 69-year-old actor was overheard taking a "very important" call from his wife who called to wish him luck during his red carpet appearance at the premiere of his latest film Last Vegas in New York City on Tuesday. According to sources, Michael - who was also spotted wearing his wedding ring - left reporters waiting as he spoke to Catherine.

"She called to wish him good luck and he said, 'Thanks honey.' The only reason she wasn't by his side is because she didn't want to take attention away from the film. It was Michael's night. She wanted to say hello and didn't realize he was on the carpet already," a source told the New York Daily News' Confidenti@l column.

The couple - who have two children Dylan, 13, and Carys, 10 - took a temporary "break" from their 13-year marriage in August but sources claim Michael openly revealed he had reconciled with Catherine, 44, at an after-party later that evening.

Heidi MontagHeidi Montag has had a breast reduction.

The former The Hills star, who shocked her fans after she underwent 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day in 2010, has gone under the knife again to have her implants reduced, taking her from a size F to a size D.

The 27-year-old blonde beauty told Entertainment Tonight host Brooke Anderson that she had her breasts downsized for "health reasons." Heidi - who married her reality TV co-star Spencer Pratt in 2008 - previously hit back at reports suggesting she regretted her cosmetic surgeries but admitted she wouldn't recommend it: "It could have been really disastrous. I lived and I learned, and I wouldn't really recommend it for other people. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be going through it - physically, mentally, emotionally and the recovery. I'm just glad it's done and that everything healed so well."

However she also blamed her plastic surgeon, Dr. Frank Ryan, who died in a tragic car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway in 2010, for her excessive procedures.


Kanye West and Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Ray refused to perform at Kanye West's surprise proposal to Kim Kardashian. The 36-year-old rapper popped the question to the reality TV star at AT&T Park in San Francisco on her 33rd birthday on October 21, and was forced to pay an orchestra $50,000 to play Lana's hit "Young & Beautiful" after the 27-year-old singer "politely declined" his request to sing the track, which is one of Kim's favorites, live.

"[Kanye] asked Lana to perform for Kim at surprise marriage proposal in San Francisco. Lana politely declined, and didn't give any reason for not being able to perform. It was a very firm no from Lana and her camp. Kanye did try to push it, but didn't get anywhere. Kanye decided to hire an orchestra to perform the song for Kim, and he was much happier with how it turned out," a source said. "Kim was bummed that Lana didn't perform for the big event, but she is still a huge fan. She just loved that Kanye tried to make it happen. Kim is jokingly saying Lana will want to perform at their wedding," the insider added.


Katy Perry and Mick JaggerMick Jagger has denied hitting on Katy Perry more than a decade ago.

The Rolling Stones rocker, who has been in a relationship with fashion designer L'Wren Scott since 2001, insists he never "made a pass" at the "Roar" hitmaker, 29, after she claimed he tried to romance her when she was just 18.

A spokesperson for the 70-year-old "Paint It Black" hitmaker told E! News, "Mick Jagger categorically denies that he has ever made a pass at Katy Perry... Perhaps she is confusing him with someone else."

The denial came just hours after Katy, who is currently dating singer-songwriter John Mayer, told Australian DJs Ash, Kip and Littsy on Nova FM in Sydney, "I actually went to dinner with [Jagger] one time, and he hit on me when I was like 18! Yeah but that was a long time ago, and since then he's been very kind and I got to sing 'Beasts of Burden' on their stage with him on their tour on The Rolling Stone tour."
