I DO!

LEGAL MATTERS
Emily Leatherman, 32, a homeless woman ordered to stay at least 500 feet from actor John Cusack last year, was arrested outside Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills mansion on March 29. Leatherman was jailed with bail set at $45,000. In August 2005 she was prohibited from coming within 100 yards of Cruise (inset), 44, for three years.... Paris Hilton, 26, could face up to 90 days in jail after being found in violation of her probation, the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office announced March 29. Police found that the heiress—who was sentenced to 36 months of probation Jan. 22, when she pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving—had a suspended license when she was pulled over for speeding Feb. 27. A hearing is set for April 17.... Victor Han, 35, of Queens, pleaded guilty March 28 to one count of child endangerment after his wife, Hejin, committed suicide by driving their minivan off a 300-ft. cliff with their two daughters in the back seat last year. Prosecutors believe Han knew the kids were imperiled when he stepped outside the vehicle on Bear Mountain on June 14. Although the crash killed Hejin, 35, daughters Ariana, 5, and Etana, 4—now staying with family—suffered no major injuries. Prosecutors recommended three years probation; Han will remain free on $40,000 bail pending his June 6 sentencing.

HONORED
U2's Bono, 46, was named an honorary knight of the British Empire at a Dublin ceremony March 29. But the Irishman must forgo the title "Sir," as he is not a British citizen.

A NEW BABY SPICE
Melanie Brown—a.k.a. Scary Spice—welcomed her second child, a 5-lb. 4-oz. girl, in Santa Monica April 3. "The baby is completely healthy with a good head of hair," says a rep for the singer. But controversy loomed over the otherwise happy event: Brown, 31, claims ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy, 46, is the father, but the actor (who shares a birthday with the as-yet-unnamed newborn) has publicly called for a paternity test. A rep for Murphy—now dating TV producer Tracey Edmonds—had no comment on the birth.
