Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Loving Mood at the Super Bowl
Originally posted 02/08/2010 01:05PM
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie showed their love for New Orleans – and for each other – at the Super Bowl on Sunday, a historic and victorious night for one of their favorite cities.
The couple, who've been dogged by rumors of trouble in their relationship, looked in great spirits, cheering the Saints on to victory at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, and stealing a kiss or two along the way. They also brought 8-year-old son Maddox to the big game.
Pitt, 46, and Jolie, 34, have been heavily involved in rebuilding New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Pitt's Make It Right project, focusing on the ravaged Ninth Ward, has been lauded by architects, residents and community leaders as a pillar of the reconstruction efforts.

Accused Psychiatrist Attends Seance for Anna Nicole Smith
Originally posted 02/08/2010 08:20PM
A psychiatrist facing criminal charges in Anna Nicole Smith's death recently attended a séance for the model, who died three years ago Monday.
Psychic Shayne Goldfarb led the séance at Pol Atteu's Beverly Hills boutique, according to Atteau's partner, close Smith friend Patrik Simpson.
Among those attending was Smith's neighbor and psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, who traveled with Smith in her final months and who, along with two others, will soon stand trial on drug conspiracy charges.
Simpson, co-author of Anna Nicole Smith, Portrait of an Icon, Signature Edition, says he's convinced they really did contact Smith during the séance and that the psychic told them Smith is "happy she's with (her late son) Daniel. She's sad she had to leave her daughter, but she really had to be with Daniel."

Michael Jackson's Family Reacts with Outrage to Charge
Originally posted 02/08/2010 03:20PM
Involuntary manslaughter wasn't a tough enough charge against Michael Jackson's doctor, his family said Monday.
"He's a monster," said the pop singer's mother, Katherine Jackson, after a hearing for Dr. Conrad Murray.
"This charge is a slap on the wrist," said Brian Oxman, longtime lawyer for Jackson's father Joseph. "There's great disappointment here. [Conrad Murray] should've been charged with a higher degree of responsibility. What he did was reckless. It was a disregard for human life."

Charlie Sheen Charged with Assault on Wife
Originally posted 02/08/2010 06:05PM
Charlie Sheen was charged Monday with a felony menacing charge and two misdemeanors but the judge eased the terms of a restraining order so the actor may now return home with Brooke Mueller and their two young sons.
The star of Two and a Half Men and Mueller both appeared in an Aspen, Colo., court for the hearing stemming from their Christmas Day fight that sent the actor to jail.
"Charlie and Brooke kissed and hugged and looked pretty happy to get beyond this hurdle,” Mueller's lawyer Yale Galanter tells PEOPLE. "They are on their way home to Los Angeles together."
"They finally got their restraining order lifted. They're finally able to communicate," adds Sheen's attorney, Richard Cummins. "You can imagine how hard it is to be married and not have any communication for some time. They're heading out to California so they can they work on their issues between them, and take care of their children and move forward with their lives."

Kevin Federline Says He'd 'Definitely' Get Married Again
Originally posted 02/08/2010 05:50PM
Wedding bells could be in Kevin Federline's future.
Britney Spears's ex-husband, who is currently dating former college volleyball star Victoria Prince, hasn't soured on marriage, even though his divorce from Spears led to depression that fueled his overeating and made him "borderline obese."
"Anything is possible," he told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Monday. "Would I get married again? Definitely."
Asked if his divorce from Spears had made him wary of marriage, he said, "No, I'm not. I just want to be happy. Right now, I really am happy. Victoria's a great person. She's an incredible person."

Michael Jackson's Doctor Surrenders
Originally posted 02/08/2010 04:10PM
Amid shouts of "murderer!" from the onlookers, Michael Jackson's personal physician surrendered Monday to a courthouse to face a charge of involuntary manslaughter.
Dr. Conrad Murray, 57, who once was paid $150,000 a month to treat Jackson before a major comeback concert series, pleaded not guilty to the charge filed earlier in the day by the Los Angeles District Attorney.
Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz set bail for $75,000 – rejecting prosecutors' request for $300,000 – and ordered Murray to surrender his passport. Murray was granted permission to continue practicing medicine as long as he doesn't administer anesthesia.

Kate Gosselin to Release Personal New Book
Originally posted 02/08/2010 03:45PM
She already wrote two New York Times bestsellers and, soon, Kate Gosselin could have a third on her hands.
The reality star is scheduled to release I Just Want You to Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith and Family on April 13 by Zondervan Publishers. The personal book will feature prayers, excerpts from her journal and eight individual letters addressed to each one of her children.
"Each day the thought crosses my mind that when they get older, my kids are going to look back and think about how they were raised," Gosselin says in a statement. "I know they will have a lot of questions about things that may not make sense because they were raised so unconventionally. I don’t want them to grow up and wonder; I want them to know without a shadow of a doubt how much I love them and how much every sacrifice made was worth it for them."
In addition to the book, Gosselin is in production on a new television show for TLC. Her previous nonfiction works include Multiple Blessings and Eight Little Faces.
