Grant's charges dropped in baked bean clash
The heat's been turned off on the Hugh Grant legume litigation.
The actor won't be prosecuted for allegedly hurling baked beans at a photographer, Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said Friday.
Grant, who also will not face charges for allegedly kicking the photographer, was arrested following the clash on April 24.
“We have advised the police that there is insufficient evidence to charge Hugh Grant with any offense in relation to an allegation that he kicked a photographer,” said a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with department policy.
“This is because there were clear discrepancies between the accounts of independent witnesses and those of the photographers involved,” she said.
Abdul's conversation about employee on Web
A leaked audio tape in which Paula Abdul can be heard sobbing and bad-mouthing a former spokesman has made its way to the Internet.
In what appears to be a recent conference call with a group of publicists, the “American Idol” judge rails against Howard Bragman and discusses her various health problems.
The conversation, first reported Thursday by the New York Post's Page Six, has Abdul saying she'd “been going through tremendous amounts of a difficult time” and had “never been treated this way.”
Gossip Web site PerezHilton.com later posted an audio tape of the conversation. A man is heard responding, “You're going to be treated much better right now.”
Abdul claims Bragman “did some disgusting behavior” by failing to accompany her when she appeared on ABC's “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last month.
Holmes ready to have more babies with Cruise
Being the mother of Tom Cruise's baby daughter has been so much fun that Katie Holmes tells “Entertainment Tonight” she's ready to have more children.
“We're having the best time, it's so amazing,” Holmes, 28, said of the year she and Cruise have spent largely out of the spotlight. She gave birth to the couple's first child, Suri, in April 2006.
“Yes, definitely,” she told the TV program when asked about the possibility of more kids. The interview airs Monday.
Cruise and his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, have a 12-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter, and Holmes said the role of stepmother is one she relishes.
