Legal issues that celebrities are involved in

Eminem’s Ex Up To Old Tricks

Kim Mathers won’t shut up.  Even when a judge ordered her to, she refused to quit talking trash about her ex-husband and father of her child, rapper Eminem. 

As reported previously by The Gossip Girls, the multi-platinum wordsmith from Detroit clashed with his ex-wife on Monday in court.  The warring couple came to an agreement to quit slandering each other in front of their 11-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade. 

Beyonce Dodges Lawsuit

Beyonce Knowles plays a secret agent in “Austin Power’s Goldmember.” Looks like her “Foxy Cleopatra” skills came in handy in the real world as well.  Knowles has been saved from a $1.5 million lawsuit, and she couldn’t be happier.

Greg Walker of Icon Entertainment was suing the bootylicious singer and her mom Tina for $1.5 million.  He claimed that they did not pay his commission for arranging the $15 million deal for their House of Dereon fashion line. 

Paris Hilton Headed to the Slammer?

Wherever she goes, trouble always seems to follow Paris Hilton.  Sex tapes, drunken partying, even a debut album that flopped.  Geez, if this chick wasn’t rich, she’d have nothing going for her.  You can add another problem to the aforementioned list: possible jail time.

City prosecutors said yesterday (March 29) that they will petition a judge to revoke Miss Hilton’s probation in her reckless driving case.  This decision could lead to jail time, being that the probation was a replacement for time in the joint. 

Spears, Federline Divorce Settlement A Done Deal

The rumors can finally be put to rest. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have just reached a settlement in their divorce, a spokesman for Federline’s attorney announced.

According to Fox news, Britney and Kevin met with their respective law teams for 5 long hours today (March 29), finally signing “a global settlement on all issues of their marriage,” said Michael Sands, a spokesman for Federline’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan.

Anna Nicole’s Son’s Inquest to Resume

A judge in the Bahamas is close to resolving a legal issue that has prevented the progress in Daniel Smith’s death investigation.  The judge told the Associated Press on Wednesday that the inquest should resume soon.

Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez said he expects to rule in a closed session today (Thursday) on a motion filed by the estate of the former Playboy Playmate. The undisclosed issue prompted a delay in picking a jury for the inquest into the Sept. 10 death of Daniel Smith.
