The author who sued John Travolta for ruining his reputation has been ordered to pay the actor's legal bill.
Robert Randolph wrote You'll Never Spa In This Town Again, in which he claimed the Pulp Fiction actor enjoyed gay sexual relations in Los Angeles' City Spa in the 1990s. He then claimed John and his lawyer Marty Singer had falsely accused him of having serious mental problems to try and make him out to be an unreliable source.
However, after a judge threw out his lawsuit, there was further bad news for the author when he was ordered to pay John's legal fees of $139,645.17. "This legal fee award is another complete and total victory for Mr. Travolta. Anyone else who files a ridiculous lawsuit against him should expect a similar outcome," Mr. Singer told TMZ.
John has been dogged by a number of claims of sexual misconduct, some of which have since been retracted, from a number of male masseurs since the publication of You'll Never Spa In This Town Again.

Stephen Baldwin Arrested Over $350K Tax Bill
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Stephen Baldwin has been arrested over an alleged unpaid $350,000 tax bill.
The 46-year-old actor is accused of failing to pay income tax in Rockland County, 15 miles northwest of Manhattan, for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 and was bailed pending a February 2013 court appearance.
Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe told the New York Daily News, "At a time when Rockland County and New York State face severe fiscal shortfalls, we cannot afford to allow wealthy residents to break the law by cheating on their taxes. The defendant's repetitive failure to file returns and pay taxes over a period of several years contributes to the sweeping cutbacks and closures in local government and in our schools."
The arrest comes six months after a court rejected born-again Christian Stephen's claim that he and a friend missed out on a lucrative contract with oil company BP thanks to Kevin Costner and his business partner in oil cleanup, Patrick Smith.

Ariel Winter's mother reportedly tried to get a Hollywood publicist to create a nude photo scandal.
The Modern Family star's mother Crystal Workman - who lost guardianship of her 14-year-old actress daughter amid allegations of physical and emotional abuse last month - allegedly tried to get publicist Jonathan Hay to leak naked pictures of her other daughter Shanelle Workman, 34, who was given temporary custody of Ariel.
The PR guru told gossip website RadarOnline.com, "Crystal Workman, the mother of Ariel Winter, wanted me to represent her and leak nude photos in the media of her other daughter Shanelle Workman. In all my years of being a publicist, I have never seen anyone stoop as low as wanting to sell out and destroy the reputation of her own daughter. Crystal said she wanted the public to see Shanelle for who she really was and smear her daughter in attempts to try and get custody back of Ariel. Crystal has called me nonstop in the last 48 hours, trying to get me to leak these pictures. Clearly, Ariel is in the right place with Shanelle and away from her mother."

Lindsay Lohan refuses to return to rehab.
The Liz & Dick star - who was charged with assaulting fortune teller Tiffany Mitchell in a New York nightclub last week and also for lying to police about being behind the wheel of a car accident in June - has reportedly told her friends who are trying to force her to seek help that she doesn't need to return to a treatment facility for the sixth time.
Sources close to the 26-year-old troubled starlet told gossip website TMZ.com that the actress simply doesn't believe she has a problem with alcohol despite reports she has been drinking up to two litres of vodka a day recently because she is so stressed about her legal problems and the poor reviews for her performance in the TV movie about Elizabeth Taylor.
Lindsay has allegedly told her friends that the fact she recently completed filming three movies proves that she doesn't have a drinking problem.

Lindsay Lohan Charged with Lying to Police

Lindsay Lohan has been charged with lying to the police over a car accident in June.
The Liz & Dick actress was involved in a crash on the Pacific Coast Highway near Los Angeles earlier this year and has now officially been charged after she told officers she was a passenger in the car involved, when she is believed to have been driving.
This comes just hours after Lindsay was arrested for hitting a woman in a club in New York, after she allegedly became upset when Max George from The Wanted started chatting up the other woman, according to TMZ.
Now, in order to escape a significant jail term for these transgressions, Lindsay's team are encouraging her to check into rehab for six months. "Lindsay's manager and agent have been telling her for months that she must go to rehab to save her life. Until now she has resisted, but after her arrest this morning she sees she needs help. It's very likely that Lindsay will throw herself at the mercy of the court and hopes to avoid jail time by going to rehab for at least six months," a source said.

Nick Gordon has been arrested for speeding and reckless driving.
The "adopted" son of Whitney Houston, who recently called off his engagement to Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, was taken into custody in Alpharetta, Georgia on Wednesday after being caught speeding through the town.
A law enforcement source told gossip website TMZ, "We are fortunate because that's such a busy corridor with high end retail shopping restaurants and pedestrians at crosswalks. At that speed, it's absolutely reckless."
Nick's arrest came hours after Bobbi Kristina lost control of her Chevy Camaro when leaving her apartment complex and drove down an embankment before coming to a stop on a local park trail. She was cited by police for "failure to maintain lane."

Police reports claim Gabriel Aubry instigated his fight with Olivier Martinez.
The model is unlikely to face charges over last week's brawl with the French actor - which occurred when he took his four-year-old daughter Nahla back to the home she shares with mother Halle Berry and her current partner - but documents appear to show he was at fault for the physical row.
According to documents obtained by website TMZ, after interviewing Gabirel, Halle and Olivier, the investigating officer concluded, "Suspect [Gabriel] arrived at victim's [Olivier] residence for child custody exchange. Suspect and victim engaged in verbal altercation. Suspect became upset and attempted to punch victim's head but missed and struck victim's right shoulder instead. Victim returned with three punches to the suspect's head, causing him to fall to the ground. Victim's fiancee notified police. Victim defended himself and punched the suspect."

Gabriel Aubry Wants Criminal Charges Against Martinez

Gabriel Aubry wants criminal charges brought against Olivier Martinez.
The Canadian model - the father of Halle Berry's four-year-old child Nahla - was involved in a vicious altercation with the French actor, who is engaged to the brunette actress, on Thanksgiving when he was dropping his daughter back to her mother's house - but he claims to have done "absolutely nothing" to "provoke" Olivier.
"Gabe wants criminal charges brought against Olivier for beating the living daylights out of him on Thanksgiving. Gabe can't believe that he was the one arrested when he says he did absolutely nothing to provoke the attack. If you look at the pictures of Gabe's hands after the fight, there isn't one scratch, nor did he suffer any wounds to his hands, as Olivier did. Gabe says he was rendered defenseless because he was knocked to the ground by Olivier's punches. Remember, Olivier's father was a former professional boxer and he has trained for years also," a source close to the situation said.
