Pete Doherty Gets Early Release From Prison

Serving only 29 days of his 14-week sentence for drug and driving offenses, Pete Doherty strolled out of London’s Wormwood Scrubs prison early Tuesday morning (May 6).

Upon hitting the jail’s gates, the Babyshambles frontman and former beau of Kate Moss “wasted no time in showing the assembled media a certificate indicating that he had passed a drug test while behind bars.”

Britney Spears Gets Ready For Court

She spent the weekend in Kentwood, Louisiana for her sister Jamie Lynn’s baby shower, but as soon as she returned to Los Angeles, Britney Spears was back at it in the gym.

The “Gimme More” singer was spotted over at Century City’s Bally’s Total Fitness yesterday sporting a white muscle shirt and a pair of blue terrycloth warm-up pants.

Uma Thurman Deals With Creepy Stalker

In what was a far cry from the glitzy movie premieres and luxurious vacations that she’s used to, Uma Thurman appeared in a Manhattan courtroom today to confront the man who has been allegedly stalking her.

The “Pulp Fiction” actress took the stand in the trial of Jack Jordan, a 37-year-old Maryland man who was discovered and arrested last Fall outside Uma’s Greenwich Village home.  And as she recounted the events of the past few years involving Jordan, she never once made eye contact with him.

Pete Wentz’s Legal Woes

In legal related news, a man who got into a scuffle with Pete Wentz last summer is suing the Fall Out Boy bassist and the fight’s venue for unspecified damages.

According to press reports, Andy Kallas alleges that he suffered “serious injuries to his head, mouth and face” after an unprovoked attack by Wentz at Schuba’s Tavern in Chicago.

Rob Lowe’s Lawyer Blasts Second Nanny Lawsuit

The drama keeps coming in the case of Rob Lowe versus his nanny accusers, as his attorney, Larry Stein, issued a statement late Wednesday in response to a second nanny’s sexual harassment claim against the actor and his wife.

According to press reports, Lowe’s camp is “pretty much calling it a blatant attempt on lawyer Gloria Allred’s part to divert attention from her other client, Nanny No. 1, who’s also suing the Lowes.”
