Baldwin brother arrested for failure to appear
A judge issued an arrest warrant Tuesday for Daniel Baldwin after he failed to appear in Orange County Superior Court on charges that he illegally took another person's car.
“He had an arraignment scheduled and he did not appear so a bench warrant has been issued,” said Farrah Emami, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office. “I was sitting in court. He most definitely did not show up.”
The 46-year-old actor's manager, Daniel Spilo, said, “You guys need to get your facts straight and call us back,” but declined further comment. A second call to Spilo wasn't immediately returned because he was in a meeting.
Keith Urbans duel over their Web pages
Keith Urban, the country singer, has filed a lawsuit against Keith Urban, the painter from New Jersey, claiming the painter's Web site violates federal trademark laws.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court, says Keith D. Urban of Wayne, N.J., is using his keithurban.com domain in a deceptive manner and for commercial purposes.
The Web site includes the statement: “You have reached the site of Keith Urban. To those who don't know, oil painting is one of my hobbies.” It then directs viewers to a gallery of paintings and offers a limited edition of prints for sale.
Urban - whose Web address is keithurban.net - argues that the New Jersey man is misleading people into believing the Web site belongs to him and is selling merchandise as if it were produced or endorsed by him.
