Kim Kardashian & Siblings Deny Abusing Brandy's AmEx

Originally posted 05/13/2008 08:50PM

Kim Kardashian and her siblings denied allegations they improperly ran up more than $120,000 in charges on the credit card used by R&B singer Brandy Norwood's mother, according to court papers.

In an answer to the Superior Court lawsuit filed by Sonja Norwood in Los Angeles, the Kardashians "deny generally and specifically each and every allegation," the papers say.

Norwood's lawsuit, which also names Kardashian's siblings Khloe, Kourtney and Robert Jr., alleges they ran up the charges in 2006 and 2007. It seeks the return of the money plus 10 percent interest.

Kim Kardashian had access to the American Express card when she worked as a stylist for Brandy in 2004 (Brandy's brother, Ray J, also appeared in the infamous sex tape with Kim). Norwood claims Kim later passed on the card number to her siblings, who also allegedly made unauthorized charges.

Marie Osmond: Billy Ray to Blame for Miley Photos

Originally posted 05/08/2008 01:15PM

Like most everyone else, Marie Osmond has an opinion of the Miley Cyrus photos for Vanity Fair. And it's not positive.

What particularly upsets the entertainer (who is herself a mother), is that such an experienced showbiz parent as Miley's dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, would leave his 15-year-old alone during a photo shoot.

"My parents never, never left us alone," Osmond, 48, tells AOL Television. "We always had some form of a guardian or something with us, a guardian that would represent what they would have done."

Britney Spears Gets More Time with Children

Originally posted 05/06/2008 04:10PM

Britney Spears will get more time with her sons during visitation, a court ruled Tuesday.

"We are so pleased with Britney's progress, and we are appreciative of the court's recognition of this progress," Spears's parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, said in statement after a hearing attended by the pop star and her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

It was not clear how much more time Spears was granted. Federline's attorney characterized the court order as "an expansion of time."

"It is a cautious step, but a step forward nonetheless," said lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan. "We are seeing signs of [Britney's] progress, and consistency over time is something welcome by Kevin ... The children are doing great."

Fur Shame! Is Lindsay Lohan a Coat Thief?

Originally posted 05/06/2008 12:55PM

Did Lindsay Lohan swipe a stranger's mink coat for three weeks – then wear it on the town?

According to a New York Post report, Masha Markova, 22, is suggesting just that – saying it all started when she attended a private party at New York nightspot 1Oak along with Lohan.

Markova, a student at Columbia University, put down her $11,000 blond mink coat with other partygoers' jackets at the Jan. 26 bash – and thought it was gone for good after she couldn't find it at the end of the night.

But Markova tells the Post she was flipping through a February magazine when she saw Lohan sporting the distinctive coat. "It was my coat. It was no doubt," she said.

So, Markova's lawyer, Merrill Cohen, called Lohan's attorney, Blair Berk, and threatened legal action. Hours later, 1Oak phoned.

Rob Lowe's Attorney Blasts New Nanny Lawsuit

Originally posted 04/30/2008 10:50PM

Rob Lowe's lawyer Larry Stein issued a statement Wednesday denouncing the lawsuit filed by nanny Laura Boyce. Stein also lashed out at Boyce's attorney Gloria Allred, who also represents Jessica Gibson, the other nanny accusing the actor and his wife:

"Having struck out against Rob Lowe, Gloria Allred now seeks to drag his wife and children into the fray. In response to a lawsuit against Laura Boyce by the Lowes, Ms. Allred filed a cross-complaint on behalf of Boyce, which contains false allegations, in an apparent attempt to divert the negative publicity which Allred's client, Gibson, has universally received.

"Although framed as a sexual harassment claim against both Sheryl and Rob Lowe, the cross-complaint alleges only words by Sheryl and never mentions any words or conduct by Rob whatsoever.

"The alleged statements by Sheryl are totally unrelated to, and do not provide any support for, Gibson's claims against Rob."

Miley to Perform at Disney Channel Games

Originally posted 04/30/2008 03:45PM

She may be under fire for her Vanity Fair and Internet photos, but Miley Cyrus will still be center stage Saturday at the 2008 Disney Channel Games.

The Disney Channel stands by their Hannah Montana superstar, confirming that she will perform at the concert wrapping the weeklong charity event held at Walt Disney World in Orlando.

After some private photos hit the blogs – but before Cyrus apologized for the "embarrassing" Vanity Fair magazine shoot – a Disney exec conceded, "the Internet adds a whole new twist to typical teenage life."

"Being the most famous 15-year-old in the world is exciting but fraught with challenges and exceptional responsibility," Gary Marsh, Disney Channel entertainment president, told the Los Angeles Times about their biggest star before the photo flap.
