Halle Berry Ordered To Pay Child Support


Halle Berry has been ordered to pay $20,000 a month in child support.

Lawyers for the 'New Year's Eve' star and her former partner Gabriel Aubry went to court on Monday, where a family law judge ordered the actress to hand over the sum for the care of their four-year-old daughter Nahla, gossip website TMZ reports.

Gabriel, 36, had gone to court last month to request the sum but the case was adjourned because paperwork wasn't filled out properly.

The former couple - who split in April 2010 - are yet to resolve another dispute over Nahla, as the model is unhappy with Halle's plan to move to France with the youngster and her fiance Olivier Martinez.

The 45-year-old 'Dark Tide' star has previously spoken about relocating to France, in favour of the country's laws which will protect her offspring from prying eyes.

She said: "Laws that protect children, protect right to privacy. All I want is for my family and myself to have a normal life. When I'm not at work, that's very important to me."

A court has yet to rule on Halle's desire to move.

Alec Baldwin Shoved A Photographer


Alec Baldwin allegedly "pushed and shoved" a photographer this morning.

The '30 Rock' star was leaving the New York City Marriage License Bureau with fiancee Hilaria Thomas when he got into an altercation with paperazzo Marcus Santos.

Marcus told the New York Daily News newspaper: "He was looking mad. He said, 'Step back, step back.' I said, 'We're moving back.' "

According to the publication, Alec grabbed a second photographer, prompting Marcus to tell him to back off.

Marcus added: "I said, 'Don't touch him'. I knew he was going to attack me. I stepped back, and he kept coming.

"He comes after me, starts shoving and punching me - one time, right in the chin. And then he started shoving me, and pushing me. Then he goes the other way."

Fellow photographer Goran Veljic added: "He was like crazy, you know? There was an eruption of mad. ... You're going to get a marriage license, you should be happy. What happened with this guy?"

However, the 'Rock of Ages' actor had a different take on events, insisting he was "almost hit" by a waiting photographer.

He tweeted: "A 'photographer' almost hit me in the face with his camera this morning. #allpaparazzishouldbewaterboarded (sic)"

Chris Brown meeting With Police


Chris Brown has met with police following his altercation with Drake's entourage.

The 'Yeah 3x' singerr suffered a gash to his chin following a fight at New York club W.i.P on Wednesday night and has now discussed the incident with authorities, but neither he nor his rival are being treated as suspects in the inquiry.

According to gossip website TMZ, Chris met with detectives in New York as a "witness and a victim" and his lawyers later spoke to police to present evidence to show Drake and Meek Mill were the aggressors.

Drake has also been "cooperating" with authorities, but it is not known if he has spoken directly to police himself yet.

Meanwhile, a girl who needed 16 stitches after being hit with a bottle during the alleged brawl has blamed the "stupid famous people" involved.

Hollie C., a 24-year-old Australian tourist, was struck by a flying glass bottle during the altercation, which reportedly stemmed from a row over Chris' former girlfriend Rihanna.

In a video clip she recorded after being released from hospital, she said: "I've just looked on the internet and realised the reason why I have 16 stitches on my head, on my face is because of some stupid famous people having a fight over a girl.

"Now where's the justice in them driving away in a limo while I had to catch the train home on one of my holidays?"

Hollie drifted in and out of consciousness after the incident and she was taken to a nearby hospital and discharged on Thursday morning. She has since filed a police report.

Chris has been at war with Drake over his alliance with Rihanna, who split up with the 'Beautiful People' hitmaker after he was convicted of assaulting her three years ago.

Unconfirmed reports revealed he sent a bottle of champagne to Drake's table as a peace offering but it was returned with a note reading, "I'm f***ing the love of your life, deal with it."

The gesture is then thought to have angered Chris and resulted in him confronting Drake, who allegedly threw a punch at his rival, leading to a brawl breaking out.

No arrests have so far been made in connection with the incident.

The actress is already facing legal troubles after her Porsche sports car collided with a truck in California recently, and now a paparazzi has filed a lawsuit claiming she hit him with her vehicle in 2010.

Lindsay was reportedly served with the complaint on Sunday and a judge has set a next hearing for August 7.

The 25-year-old actress returned to work on her latest film, 'Liz and Dick' today, sporting visible signs of her earlier road incident.

Website Celebuzz reported the star had "bumps and bruises from her car accident clearly visible on her knees."

However, Lindsay's career is looking up, as yesterday it was announced she has been cast in new film 'The Canyons', alongside male porn star James Deen.

Writer of the film, Bret Easton Ellis, tweeted: "I am beyond thrilled that James Deen and Lindsay Lohan will be playing the parts of Christian and Tara in The Canyons. Could not have dreamed of a better cast."

Kanye West Burglarized


Kanye West has been burglarized.

Police were called to the 'Stronger' rapper's home in Los Angeles this morning by one of his entourage, who is staying there while he is on tour in the UK.

According to TMZ.com there was "evidence the thieves dropped some of Kanye's possessions on the way out."

It is not known what, if anything, has been taken from the house.

A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said: "I can confirm there was a burglary."

Officer Bruce Borihahn added to the Los Angeles Times newspaper the attempted burglary took place at around 6:30am at the rapper's home on Fareholm Drive.

He added: "The owner wasn't home at the time, and it is unknown if any property was taken."

Kanye is currently in Birmingham, England, in the middle of his Watch the Throne co-headlining tour with Jay-Z.

Kanye recently put the home, in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles, up for sale, sparking rumors he was to move in with girlfriend Kim Kardashian.

Although the price hasn't been made public, when he previously tried to sell the three-bedroom house in 2010, it was listed for $3,995,000.
