Paris Hilton Flouts Arabic Custom in Skimpy Bikini
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Television, Fashion Police, Legal Issues, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Paris Hilton made a big show of herself while working on her reality show in Dubai recently…flouting Arabic custom, the law of the land and basic good sense all at the same time.
While shooting for Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, the heiress put on a very revealing two-piece and frolicked on the beach for photogs. While this is typical Hilton behavior, it’s not typical for women to reveal so much in public in this part of the country - a practice she was warned against by producers.
An unknown source says “bosses warned her Western tourists have been jailed,” for breaking with the traditions of the nation, but Hilton did what she wanted to do anyway.

Chris was also ordered to perform six months of community labor back in his home state of Virginia. Any violation could place the musician behind bars for four years.
Although it was reported that the judge had ordered Brown to stay away from his victim, the Los Angeles Times says Rihanna is not interested in that condition.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Legal Issues,
Even though David Archuleta is days away from the start of his tour with Demi Lovato, another family member is stealing some of his spotlight.
It’s just been revealed that Jeff Archuleta, best known as the stage dad of American Idol 7, was caught in an uncompromising position earlier this year. On January 14, the 41-year-old was cited for solicitation after seeking therapeutic services at a so-called massage parlor.

Meet the Blagojevich Family
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Legal Issues, Photos, Videos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Thirty is the new twenty, white is the new black, reality is the new scripted TV, politicians are the new superstars, and impeachment is the new comedy act. Or at least, it’s all working for Rod and Patti Blagojevich.
The (former) Illinois governor won national media attention for his attempts to (allegedly) sell Barack Obama‘s former Senate seat. Now, he’s apparently ready to start winning laughs with his act for Chicago’s comedy troupe The Second City.
Impeached last January, Blagojevich has managed to turn his public fall from grace into a full-blown celebrity career that even includes wife Patti, cast member on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

Terri Seymour attacker Janice Thibodeaux pleads not guilty
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Legal Issues, Rivalries,
Looks like the woman accused of attacking Terri Seymour has pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against her. Janice Thibodeaux was charged with misdemeanour battery and assault yesterday morning following her altercation with Seymour, the ex-girlfriend of Simon Cowell, and appeared in court to answer the claims.
A Los Angeles judge set her bail at $20,000. She is due to appear in court again on June 4. If convicted of misdemeanour battery, Thibodeaux faces a maximum six months in county jail and a fine of $2,000. The misdemeanour assault charge carries a maximum one year prison term and $10,000 fine. Thibodeaux is accused of assaulting Seymour outside Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, the site of where Cowell’s TV show American Idol was being filmed on Tuesday.
It has been claimed the music mogul has ordered his personal security team to protect Seymour until she feels safe again. Police claim Thibodeaux asked Seymour if she was still dating Cowell - who she split from last November after a six-year relationship - and then tried to choke her. However, Thibodeaux has revealed she was unhappy with Cowell’s behaviour towards his fellow ‘American Idol’ judge. She told a US website: “I wasn’t cool with Simon Cowell choking Paula Abdul on the show last week and with her crying-out ‘help’ as he did so. Nobody said anything about that so I wanted to confront him about it because that is not appropriate behavior, is it?”

Simon Cowell’s ex Terri Seymour attacked
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: D-List, Television, Break-ups, Dating, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Simon Cowell‘s ex-girlfriend, Terri Seymour, was been attacked by a 200 pound woman outside the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Terri was reportedly assaulted outside the Theater, where Simon’s TV show American Idol was filmed, on Tuesday. Police allege Janice Thibodeaux, 33, approached Terri and asked her if she was still dating Simon - who she split from last November after a six-year relationship - before attempting to choke her.
Los Angeles officers, who reportedly witnessed the altercation, then arrested Janice - who was reportedly “twice Terri’s size” - on felony battery charges. Her bail was set at $52,703 bail. Terri, 34, and Simon reportedly split over his refusal to have children - the same reason he parted ways with former pop star Sinitta, who had a 1986 hit with ‘So Macho’. Simon’s mother Julie said at the time: “Simon has a right to his own life, we all do, but Terri wanted a baby and things didn’t work out. The split was really based on the fact that she wanted a baby and to get married.”

Britney Spears sued by ex-bodyguard Kerry Vine
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
Britney Spears is being sued by Kerry Vine, one of her ex-bodyguards. In court documents filmed this past Monday, Vine says he was injured while working at her Britney’s home in Los Angeles in March 2008. The documents state: “Advanced Security Concepts negligently operated their business thereby causing injuries to Vine who worked for Spears at the time. Spears breached that duty of care to the plaintiff by failing to ensure that he could safely perform duties that Advanced Security Concepts ordered him to perform.”
Kerry is suing for personal injury, battery and negligence which he says caused him to lose wages and incur medical and hospital fees. He also claims loss of personal property and earning capacity. The initial hearing will take place on September 2.
This is just the latest in a string of legal woes to fall into Britney’s lap. Last month, she was granted a restraining order against her former manager Sam Lutfi, which bans him from being within 100 yards of Spears for three years. Sam is also not allowed to contact the 27-year-old singer via email, phone or old-school snail mail. Lawyer Jon Eardley—who previously questioned why Britney’s father Jamie was made co-conservator of her professional and personal affairs last year—is also included in the same restraining order.

No Charges Yet for SYTYCD’s Da Silva
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Legal Issues,
Days after being arrested on investigation of sexual assault, choreographer Alex Da Silva was released from jail.
The 41-year-old So You Think You Can Dance contributor was taken into custody by police last Saturday as a result of several rape allegations. Four different victims had accused the dance instructor of assault between 2003 and 2009.
Although the complainants each reported similar stories, the Los Angeles County prosecutors office has not been able to file charges due to a lack of evidence. More women have since come forth with their own stories, so the investigation is not yet closed.
No word yet what this might mean - if anything - for the next season of SYTYCD. The FOX reality series starts up again on May 21.
