Kate Gosselin to Release a Book
Kate Plus 8
It’s been a while since we’ve heard bout these guys. Kate Gosselin is getting ready to launch a book about her personal life and her kids. The book includes prayers and excerpts from her diary, and letters, one to each child.
Title: I Just Want You to Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith and Family
Release Date: April 13th, 2010
“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.”
Charlie Sheen Charged in Christmas Incident
Actor Charlie Sheen was charged with felony menacing Monday in Pitkin County District Court in Aspen, where a judge also lifted a portion of a protection order that prohibits him from having contact with his wife.
Sheen and his wife, Brooke, exchanged a brief hug after the hearing, then departed the courtroom separately.
It was Sheen’s first court appearance since he was jailed Christmas Day in Aspen on domestic violence allegations.
Prosecutor Arnold Mordkin also filed two class-one misdemeanor charges — assault in the third degree and criminal mischief — against Sheen.
But it’s the class-five felony menacing charge that’s the most punitive. If convicted of that charge, Sheen faces a state prison sentence of one to three years.
Alba dismisses rumors her husband kissed Lohan
In a recent interview, actress Jessica Alba went on the offensive about the tabloid rumors that her husband was seen kissing Lindsay Lohan.
“Lindsay’s had to deal with this for so long,” Alba says. “Everyone has to live their life, and that’s what people forget when you’re in this business — she’s really nice. We hang out and chat for hours about girl stuff.”
“When people wrote lies about me before I had [my daughter] Honor, I’d get upset or I’d get nauseous or I’d get angry or I’d want revenge,” Alba says. “Now, it’s like, it’s just so ridiculous and it’s not even close to being the truth.”

Jamie Spears & Casey Aldridge
Jamie Spears, sister of Britney Spears has split with her boyfriend, and father of her child - she has moved back home to live with mom.
Spears, 18, says the relationship has slowly been falling apart, and now she is dating someone else. That was fast.
“She’s going through a lot of changes,” says a Spears family friend. “It has been painful. She’s a young mother and struggling in a lot of areas.”
“She did a lot of growing up but he didn’t,” says a source. “I think she put up with more than she cared to put up with. She just got enough of it and was tired of the situation.”
She’s now dating James Watson, 28, who owns a multi media company.
Dr Murray in Financial Trouble before Jackson
The Jackson job offered Murray, 56, a lifeline for a man struggling financially.
Courts in Las Vegas, where he lived with his physician wife, 19-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter, had ordered him or his business to pay $435,000 to creditors, including a student loan.
His home near the 18th hole of a country club was in jeopardy. Property records show he had refinanced the mortgage at least three times in five years and owed close to $1.7 million on a property now assessed at $1.08 million. By the time the Jackson job came along, it had been months since Murray had paid the mortgage and foreclosure proceedings loomed, according to court records.
He had also fallen behind on child support payments. Birth certificates and other public records indicate that in addition to the two children he had with his wife, Murray had fathered at least four children with three other women.
Files from Las Vegas family court proceedings show he owed thousands of dollars to a California woman with whom he had a son, now 11. He was also helping support two daughters, ages 16 and 8, who lived with their mother in Las Vegas, according to the records. And last March, an actress from Santa Monica gave birth to Murray’s son, according to a California birth certificate.
According to his lawyer, many of Murray’s financial problems arose from providing medical care for the poor.
Howard Stern to replace Simon?
Recently, Howard Stern has been subtly dropping hints on his show that he may be taking over Simon Cowell’s spot on American Idol.
“I was approached by a major TV network to take over a TV show and leave here and do that next year — and I did turn it down … I’m not even sure if I want to be working. I’m waiting to see what happens,” Stern recently said on his show.
“It’s one of the few shows that could compete with Stern’s $100-million-a-year Sirius contract, and ‘Idol’ bosses think he’d be even nastier than Simon,” an “Idol” source says.
