Uma Thurman Fined Over Worker Treatment
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Uma Thurman has been fined $72,000 for failing to adequately provide for her employees.
The Kill Bill actress was issued with the penalty by the Workmen's Compensation Board of the State of New York in March 2013 after being found to have failed to carry workers compensation insurance between December 15, 2011 and December 14, 2012. Documents obtained by RadarOnline.com show a judge has ruled she must pay the fine, as well as acquire workmen's compensation insurance that was in line with New York State laws.
The 43-year-old actress - who has children Maya, 14, and Levon, 10, with ex-husband Ethan Hawke, and Luna, 18 months, with partner Arpad Busson - recently splashed out $10 million on a new apartment in an exclusive New York complex that was previously owned by best-selling novelist Barbara Taylor Bradford and her filmmaker husband Robert. Uma had to pass rigorous home co-operative board approvals before being given the go-ahead to continue with the sale.
The Nymphomaniac actress sold her seven-bedroom New York townhouse for $12 million last year.

Selena Gomez went to rehab last month.
The 21-year-old star - who has an on/off relationship with Justin Bieber - was admitted to Dawn at The Meadows recovery center in Arizona on January 5, and spent two weeks at the facility, which treats people aged 18 to 26 years old who are "struggling with emotional trauma, addiction or dual diagnosis concerns."
"Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse," her representative confirmed.
The former Disney child star was urged to seek help by those close to her amid concerns her partying was getting out of control. "Her friends and family became increasingly worried that there might be a serious problem with Selena. Particularly, her parents. The partying was, at times, wild. They wanted to help her -- and they very much encouraged her to go to rehab. Others very close to her also urged her to seek professional help," a source said.

Justin Bieber is to appear in court next month.
The 19-year-old singer has been given a trial date of March 3 by a Miami-Dade County judge over charges of driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest and driving with an invalid license.
The troubled star was detained on January 23 after police allegedly caught him drag racing a rented Lamborghini in Miami. Police officers claimed Justin, who is more than a year under the legal drinking age in the US, reeked of alcohol at the scene but his blood alcohol level was barely measurable at .014. However, it has been reported a toxicology test detected the presence of marijuana and Xanax in his system.

Justin Timberlake’s Grandma Worries About His Marriage
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Rumors,
Justin Timberlake's marriage is "hard going," says his grandma.
The singer-and-actor and wife Jessica Biel - whom he wed in October 2012 - spend a lot of time apart because of their respective careers and his grandmother Sadie Bomar is worried the distance is going to damage their relationship:
"They are married but they are so busy, both of them, it's hard going. I'm sure when it's right to have children they will, but not now. They do love each other dearly but they are apart so much it's going to be hard going for them."
Sadie says Jessica finds the distance particularly "tough," but she is hopeful the couple can overcome their problems - so long as they make more time for one another. "I think Jessica finds that really tough. She's on her own a good deal. If he's not coming back at night that puts a strain on things, of course it does. It's hard to keep it all going but you have to have faith to keep it all going. I have faith in them and I believe they love each other dearly but I know they need time together," Sadie added to The Sun.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was still attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings days before he died.
The Capote actor - who was found dead of an apparent heroin overdose at his New York apartment on Sunday - had been attending the support meetings for over two decades, and recently confided to one group member he was struggling with "little situations" in life.
Jose Torres, who saw Philip at a meeting in Greenwich Village on January 24, recalled, "I told him to keep coming back, and he said, 'Yeah, I will.' I remember asking, 'How are you doing?' And he said, 'OK. There are the little situations in life. Life still shows up.' He went to a lot of different places, but he came here mostly."
Philip - who had been sober for 20 years before checking into rehab last May - was highly regarded by the other attendees at the meetings. "Everybody loved him, and he loved everybody no matter who you were," Jose added to the New York Post.

Sean Penn and Charlize Theron Set to Wed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Weddings, Rumors,
Sean Penn and Charlize Theron want to get married.
The couple - who made their first public appearance together three weeks ago - have only been dating a few months, but now the Milk star has moved in with his girlfriend and her adopted son Jackson, two, they are talking about taking their relationship further.
"Sean is head over heels in love with Charlize, and her son Jackson. He is a totally different person around Charlize, she brings out the gentle and fun side that not many people have seen of Sean. To see this previously surly grown man, romping around Charlize's backyard with Jackson, with a smile on his face would amaze Sean's detractors. Charlize is getting Sean to not take himself too seriously. The two began talking about marriage in the last few weeks, after Sean moved into Charlize's house. She has never wanted to get married, but seeing how Sean interacts with Jackson, she is having a change of heart. For the longest time, Charlize thought it was just going to be her and Jackson, and she was OK with that. For her to now be talking about getting married is a huge departure for Charlize," a source said.

Woody Allen feels "overwhelming sadness" for Dylan Farrow.
The Blue Jasmine filmmaker's adopted daughter spoke out over the weekend alleging he had abused her at the age of seven, but the director's lawyer insists none of the allegations are true and were simply "implanted" by her mother, Woody's former partner Mia Farrow. "His reaction is one of overwhelming sadness because of what has happened to Dylan. She was a pawn in a huge fight between him and Mia Farrow years ago, and the idea that she was molested was implanted in her by her mother. That memory is never going to go away. So the fact that she says this now, that it happened 20 years ago, is totally understandable," lawyer Elkan Abramowitz told the Today show.
