Moore victorious in
rebuttal to libel claim
Michael Moore won a round Tuesday in a court battle with the brother of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, but the defendant's lawyer said she is considering whether to take the case to the Supreme Court.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Ohio sided with a Michigan-based federal judge who in 2005 threw out James Nichols' suit accusing filmmaker Moore of libel and defamation in the Oscar-winning movie “Bowling for Columbine.”
Nichols, a Michigan soybean farmer, contended that statements in the 2002 film could lead viewers to believe he was involved in the bombing.
He also claimed the film invaded his privacy and inflicted emotional distress.
The joke's over; Spears' rehab no laughing matter
Britney Spears has been ridiculed for everything from her 55-hour first marriage to backup-dancer second husband and her recent pantyless partying escapades. Now that she's entered rehab, though, the joke is over.
This is a new frontier - even for Spears, whose well-documented gaffes and personal traumas have played out in excruciatingly public fashion, including photos published of Spears driving with her son Sean Preston on her lap and another time almost dropping him.
Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, told People magazine's Web site that Spears had voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed treatment facility.
Simpson residual cash goes to Goldman family
A judge on Tuesday ordered that O.J. Simpson's income from past work in movies, television and commercials go directly to the family of murder victim Ron Goldman, but he rejected the family's bid to collect Simpson's earnings on future projects.
Simpson was acquitted in October 1995 of murder charges in the June 12, 1994, slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman, but a civil court jury later held him liable for the killings in a wrongful death lawsuit and ordered him to pay $33.5 million. Most of that debt remains unpaid.
Plane search could lay out rocky road for Stallone
Customs officials searched Sylvester Stallone's hotel room and private jet three days after seizing banned substances from the muscle-bound actor's entourage as he arrived for a promotional tour, a news report said.
Stallone's plane was searched on the tarmac at Sydney airport Monday.
Officials are still examining substances collected from Stallone's entourage to determine whether further action would be taken.
