Tiger Mistress Rachel Uchitel NOH8 Gay Marriage Campaign

The most famous of Tiger Woods’ former lasses is keeping her lips sealed again — but this time it’s for a good cause.

The NYC nightclub who set off The Tiger Woods Sex Scandal in late 2009 was photographed posing for the NOH8 campaign with duct tape over her mouth and the group’s logo on her face. The campaign is spearheaded by a gay-rights activist group and began after the ban on gay marriage passed in California in 2008.

“I love that these 2 guys started this 2 years ago and its still going strong,” Uchitel Tweeted over the weekend.

The campaign has also featured political wife Cindy McCain, Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown, Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, and others.

The raven-haired Rachel is a self-professed “love addict” and was featured on last season of VH1′s Celebrity Rehab. Uchitel reportedly received a seven-figure settlement in exchange for staying tight-lipped about her “alleged” (Hint, Nudge, Wink) affair with Tiger.

Christina Hendricks Breasts Set Off Plastic Surgery Craze In UK

Checking in at a size 14, fiery redhead Christina Hendricks has brought SexyBack to pop culture for The Curvy Set, and now it seems that an increasing number of women in the United Kingdom are going under the knife to achieve the Mad Men star’s signature hourglass frame.

The Chi-Chis are a sensation!

There was a 10 percent surge in the number of women having breast enhancements in the UK in 2010, Britain’s Daily Mail reports. A total of 9,418 women went under the knife for chest augmentation last year alone, and plastic surgeons say much of the surgery surge craze can be attributed to women who are dying to look just like Christina.

“The Christina Hendricks effect is significant. She looks stunning and lots of women a figure like hers. No one believes any more you have to be stick thin to be beautiful,” one surgeon told th publication.

British politican Lynne Featherstone believes 35-year-old Christina and her plus-sized figure should be held in higher esteem by women than the “unattainable bodies” of rail-thin supermodels.

“Christina Hendricks is absolutely fabulous. We need more of these role models,” she said.

Katrina Kaif 'Disturbed' By Tax Raid

Katrina Kaif has slammed reports she is under investigation for tax evasion, insisting she is "disturbed" by the accusations.

The Indian star hit the headlines earlier this week (begs24Jan11) after representatives for the country's tax authorities confirmed officials had raided the offices and homes of Kaif and her peer Priyanka Chopra, in addition to a number of other top Bollywood names.

Tax department director-general D.P. Gaur confirmed on Monday (24Jan11) that properties belonging to the actresses were "being searched and whatever materials are procured will be recorded for further action", but refused to go into further detail.

However, a "disturbed" Kaif has hit out at the claims and she is adamant all her tax payments are up-to-date.

A statement issued by her accountants adds: "Katrina is fully co-operating with the (tax) department, whom she holds in high regard."

Kaif is said to earn $670,000 (£446,670) per film.

Amy Winehouse Hospitalized With Flu

Pimp Down! Amy Winehouse has checked into a private hospital in London after falling ill with flu-like symptoms.

The singer is recuperating at the same hospital back where she had breast augmentation surgery nearly two years ago. She was rushed to the same hospital a year later after she was injured in a druken fall, causing damage to one of the implants. But that’s another story.

According to Winehouse’s rep, says Amy checked into the clinic after complaining of felling “a bit ill.” The rep assured that the condition is nothing serious and the singer is expected to make a full recovery very soon.

“It’s nothing serious – she’s just got a virus. And she’s also about to move house.”

Amy’s waged a public war against addiction that’s kept the five-time Grammy winner sidelined from the music scene since the release of her critically-hailed 2006 album, Back to Black. The “Rehab” star, however, has been slowly battling back over the past few months. Amy recently returned from a tour in Brazil, where she was applauded by hundreds of fans, and is reportedly working on a collaboration with “Forget You” star Cee-Lo Green.

Tony Parker Eva Longoria Divorce Final

Attention Gentlemen: Dust off your best pickup lines, Eva Longoria is officially back on the market.

The lusty Latina is single again and officially divorced, less than three months after calling it quits with hubby Tony Parker amid a headline-snatching sexting-cheating scandal last November.

The divorce between the Desperate Housewives star and the NBA ace, who wed in 2007, was formally dissolved in Los Angeles on Friday, according to In Touch Weekly.

“The divorce documents will come through today, she is happy and moving forward with her life,” a tipster tells the tab.

Eva cited the celeb-favored “irreconcilable differences” in her divorce petition. That move came shortly after the sudster alum reportedly unearthed hundreds of inappropriate emails between Parker and the estranged wife of one of his teammates on the San Antonio Spurs. Insiders are staying tight-lipped on the details of the couple’s final financial settlement — but Eva had been requesting spousal support from Tony.

This is the second divorce for Longoria, whose first marriage ended lasted from 2002 to 2004.

Maricopa Neighborhood Seething Over Arrival Of Bristol Palin

Comedian Tracy Morgan may count The Palin Women among the best “masturbation material” available on the Web, but one neighborhood in Maricopa, Arizona is anything but ecstatic about the pending arrival of one of America’s most controversial political families.

Palin’s oldest daughter — 20-year-old Bristol Palin — is hightailing it out of the clan’s homebase in Wasilla, Alaska for a new life in the desert, just 35 miles south of Phoenix. She’s even considering a morning jock job offer from a local radio station. Bristol purchased the foreclosed property for $172,000 — cash — from a North Dakota couple last month. A five bedroom, two-level, 3,900-square-foot brown stucco rambler, the place has plenty of room for the young mother and her two-year-old son, Tripp. But not everyone in the Cobblestone Farms Development are welcoming the new neighbors with open arms.

Bristol’s presence has quickly become an irritant to neighbors who don’t want The Palins causing a commotion in their quiet suburb, The National Enquirer reports in its Feb. 7 edition. Bristol’s home has already attracted a bevy of celeb gawkers, who slowly circle the block at all hours of the day hoping for a glimpse of the aspiring journalist. Enough is enough, says one disgruntled Cobblestone Farms dwellers, who asked not to be identified:

“The community doesn’t hold anything personal against Bristol, but her presence definitely introduced an element of fear and uneasiness that didn’t exist before.”

Others in the community believe the former Almost-First Daughter could use a refresher course in good manners.

“My family brought her a basket filled with baked goods, flowers, and a welcome card,” another neighbor told The Enquirer. “Bristol didn’t answer the door when we tried to deliver the basket — even though she was home at the time — so we left it at her front door. Since then, we haven’t received so much as a phonecall or visit to thank us.”

Nicole Kidman Kept The New Baby Secret

It’s hard to keep a new baby secret when your last name is Kidman, but Oscar winner Nicole and husband Keith Urban managed just that with second daughter, Faith Margaret. Born with the help of a surrogate mother, Faith’s arrival was kept under wraps to protect her from media attention.

Nicole has said that keeping quiet about Faith was one of the toughest things she has ever had to do, and the couple thanked everyone for their support, “our gestational carrier” in particular.

Also parents to 2-year-old Sunday Rose, the couple reveals that Faith Margaret’s name was inspired by their adopted hometown Nashville, the nerve centre of American country music. The Southern town has a long tradition of double names, and Margaret was the name of Nicole’s grandmother.

Nicole credited her first daughter’s unexpected appearance to swimming in the waters of a small Australian Outback town during the filming of “Australia.” She and six other women became pregnant after swimming in Kununurra.

Pregnant Mariah can`t stop cooking

Singer Nick Cannon fears putting on more weight than his pregnant wife Mariah Carey as she can`t stop cooking.

The couple is currently expecting twins and Cannon revealed that he is in more danger than his wife of putting on weight during the pregnancy because she keeps cooking food and then refuses to eat it, a website reports.

“I think she`s figured out brilliantly that when she craves stuff she doesn`t necessarily have to eat it. When she cooks, she cooks everything from scratch and then the cravings go away. So I get stuck with eating all the food. I`ll be gaining weight during this pregnancy,” he said.

Cannon is in awe of his wife and admitted she is handling expectant parenthood much better than he is.

“She`s holding up beautifully. To see this strength! It`s a different type of strength to carry around two babies. She`s not even concerned with her aches and pains which I`m sure are great. She`s so nurturing right now. It`s wonderful. It`s amazing to see.”

“I`m extremely excited about bringing new life into the world. It`s a journey every single day. It`s something new. I`m nervous. I`m excited. We`re just taking it one day at a time,” he added.

Kylie’s sexy Looks Great Underwear

Kylie Minogue has credited the secret of her sexiness to good underwear and an all-over body make up.

“I know a lot of tricks to make everything look good, basically very good underwear and all-over body make-up. That“s my secret”, she told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview.

The 42-year-old also complained that her bottom often gets more attention than she does, but said she has no plans to stop wearing hot pants.

“My face has been outshone by my bottom. After the ‘Spinning Around’ video, people became a lot more interested in my behind than they were in me. It makes me laugh, and every time I pull on a pair of hot pants I think to myself, ‘This is the last time’, but it never is. I haven“t quite put an end date on hot pants yet,” said Minogue.

She said being thought of as sexy made her happy.

“I’ve never had a problem with being a sex symbol. I’m a woman and it’s a lovely compliment. It’s a nice feeling that people like how you look. I’ve always been very comfortable with it,” she said.

Minogue said she still couldn’t believe she is 42 now.

“Part of me feels like I’m still 21 and I always will be. A lot of people thought I would have a problem when it came to turning 40, but I didn’t – I totally embraced my forties,” she said.

“When I’m in the retirement home, I’ll still be getting out my old costumes and feathers and putting on a show. It’s what I’ve been doing my entire life and it’s a total blast,” she added.

And there is another side to Minogue that most people have not seen.

“I can be a total nerd. I love to pull on casual clothes and play golf, and when I’m with my nephews I turn into this woman who rolls around on the floor, changing nappies and getting covered in poop,” she said.

The 30-year-old star got engaged to Lachey, 37, in November and said she isn’t planning anything at the moment. Speaking about a baby, she said to PEOPLE: “Things happen. And if a blessing comes before the wedding then that’s exactly what it is, [a blessing].” She added: “I would love to have children and work. I definitely don’t want it to slow me down. I’m always going to be: ‘Go, go, go.’ And I’m going to be pregnant, fat and happy through it all.” Minnillo said she looks to Reese Witherspoon for inspiration. She said: “I think she’s amazing. She’s a strong woman who can manage her two babies and still be a talented actress as well an ambassador for her causes.”

ustin Bieber says Selena Gomez is 'one of my best friends

Justin Bieber says Selena Gomez is 'one of my best friends.' Which would mean she is not his girl friend, or even his 'best friend.' So does he go around smooching all his girl 'best friends?'

Bieber phoned into Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM Morning Show on Monday, January 31 to plug his upcoming 3D concert film 'Never Say Never.'

Seacrest deftly prompted him to speak about his relationship with Gomez by asking, "Because this is your home and you can say it however you want: What do I say to fans of yours that saw video of you and Selena Gomez [at the movies] last week?"

"Just tell them that she's like one of my best friends," Bieber replied.

Justin Bieber, 16, and Selena Gomez, 18, were spotted on a movie date in Burbank Thursday night, January 27.

The teen heartthrobs watched 'No Strings Attached,' an R-rated film headlining Natali Portman and Ashton Kutcher.

Seacrest, either didn't know the name of the film they watched, or just played coy to say his lines.

"What movie did you see?" he asked.

"We saw No Strings Attached," Bieber said.

"That's all I need right there!" Seacrest joked. "That is it, buddy!"

Photos of a bikini clad Selena Gomez kissing Justin Bieber in St. Lucia in the Caribbean hit the internet over the New Year weekend, stirring diverse emotions amidst Bieber fans and making the world believe the two stars were an item.

Here is the full recording of Bieber's phone in on Monday.

Prince William and Kate Middleton planning first married trip

Prince William and Kate Middleton are planning an official tour of Canada as their first trip as a married couple. The royal pair will marry in April and it is claimed they will take a two-week trip to Canada in July where they will start on the east coast before finishing up in British Columbia. A source said to UK newspaper The Sun “It is being viewed as a major tour and the first chance people will have to judge if William has chosen his wife wisely.” Royal aides are said to be already planning the important trip and it is claimed the destination was picked because the Queen is Head of State there and the British royal family are popular across the country.

Justin Bieber's Twitter Talk with David Letterman

Justin Bieber plugged the Late Show to his 7 million Twitter followers during an a sit down with the show host David Letterman on Monday night, January 31.

"I'm hanging out with my Dave at @late_show we need to get him twice as many followers!' Bieber tweeted.

Letterman, a bit at sea over the Twitter phenomenon, wasn't sure what The Biebs' tweet would accomplish.

"You want me to twitter you?" Bieber asked.

"What do you mean twitter me," Dave responded appearing to become uncomfortable.

When Bieber, 16, told him that he would let his fans know he was on the Late Show, a confused Letterman responded, "If people are watching, they know that you are here."

Bieber further befuddled the 63-year-old by telling him that he was in the 11th grade at school.

"What is 11th grade? Is that sophomore in high school," Letterman quizzed.

"I don't know," Bieber responded. "I am Canadian."

Bieber appeared on the Late Show to promote his 3D concert film 'Never Say Never.'

Kim Kardashian Sheds Tears, After Shedding Clothes

Kim Kardashian got emotional over her W magazine silver paint nude photo shoot during last night's episode of "Kourtney & Kim Take New York.".

The episode shows Kim's reactions when purportedly first shown the magazine with the full-frontal, nipple et al photos.

"I am so mad, you have no idea," Kim sobs. "I was told that artwork would be covered on top of me."

Kim had a different take on the issue in October when she spoke to Extra:

"The fact that they wanted me for their art issue was such an honor, and I'm so glad the final product was amazing," she said.

Bruno Mars Guilty

Bruno Mars opted to plead guilty rather than do time in jail, as E! News reported.

Peter Gene Hernandez, professionally known as Bruno Mars, had his first clash with the police in September at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas when he was found to possess 2.6 grams of something that was presumed to be cocaine.

The 25-year-old singer is to appear at court on Friday. He decided to plead guilty upon which he will be fined for $2,000 and ordered to fill in 200 hours of community service. Besides, the musician who can collect up to 7 Grammys in February will have to undergo drug counseling.

It being his first offense, after a year of informal probation Mars will go back to a clean record.

Justin Bieber Shirtless

We’re sending out a Baby Bieber Abs Alert as the world’s tiniest pop titan gives tween girls across the globe another reason to hate Selena Gomez.

This is what 16-year-old heartthrob Justin Bieber considers a “sexy” outfit.

The “Baby” hitmaker was on the set of a recent magazine photoshoot when he asked a stylist to snap a few cellphone shots of him to send to his girlfriend – who may or may not be Disney sweetheart Selena Gomez.

We feel kinda wrong looking at these pictures. It’s like oogling a little boy and spying on a flat-chested lesbian at the same time.

“He was just being cute about it, joking around, but he definitely wanted to look good for this girl. He never said the name Selena, but we knew who it was,” an informant type tells X17Online.

Jaime Pressly Divorce

Jaime Pressly and husband of 16 months attorney Simran Singh are calling it quits. The former My Name Is Earl actress filed for divorce from her entertainment lawyer spouse Simran Singh this month — confirming recent tabloid whispers, which dished that the pair were headed for Splitsville.

Boy is Jaime experiencing a difficult start to the new year. Just last week, she was slapped with a tax lien after following more than $637,000 behind in US state and federal taxes. The blonde Southern belle was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving earlier this month, further compounding her legal woes.

Pressly, who played Joy on the now-defunct NBC comedy, married Singh in Sept. 2009. In divorce papers in Los Angeles Superior Court on Jan. 21, the 33-year-old star cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and Dec. 27 as the date of separation. That was less than two weeks before Pressly was picked up on that Jan. 5 DUI charge.

Henry Cavill Is The New Superman

Meet your new Man of Steel — The Tudor’s Henry Cavill!

Cavill, best known for his roles on Showtime series The Tudors and Stardust, will be putting on the red cape for a currently untitled Superman reboot to be released December 2012, Warner Bros. has confirmed. Henry succeeds the late Christopher Reeves as the superhero and his alter-ego Clark Kent in an upcoming joint venture between Warners. Bros and Legendary Pictures, Deadline.com said this weekend.

The casting comes several years after the British-born actor, 27, failed to make the cut for a another Superman film. He was a main contender for Superman Returns, which was a commercial disappointment at theaters in 2006.

“In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen,” Cavill said in a press release Sunday.

Zack Snyder (300) has been commissioned to direct the film from a script written by David S. Goyer and based on a story that Goyer developed with Inception director Christopher Nolan, who will produce.

Five bucks say he’ll get cold feet. What do you think?

Pakistani model Veena Malik breaks up with New York based fiancé

Pakistani model Veena Malik, who rose to fame with her sleazy antics and alleged romantic alliance with Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel, has broken up with her New York based businessman fiancé Faisal Akbar Khan.

Malik had got engaged to Khan in October last year after she ended her relationship with Pakistani cricketer Mohd. Asif. She was also involved in the spot fixing controversy along with the cricketer.

However, the lady seems to have left her past behind and is all set to begin life afresh. She wants to focus on her career so she thought it was best to call off her engagement.

“I want to focus on my career”, a news daily quoted Malik as saying.

But is her career the only reason why she chose to call it quits with her fiancé or is there something bigger than that? Or could Ashmit be the reason?

Priyanka’s elderly look in ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’ look based on her granny

In Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’, Priyanka Chopra essays various characters, ranging from a young twenty something girl to a sixty-years old lady. Buzz has it that Hollywood make-up artists diligently worked on Priyanka’s character Suzanna (a sixty-five year old lady), which was modelled on her mother and grandmother’s pictures.

Apparently, Priyanka considers ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’ as her toughest film. Talking to a daily about the film, the actress quipped, “It has been the most challenging part any actor could play. Playing Suzanna was tough for someone like me, who is still in her 20s. During most bits of shooting, I relied completely on Vishal sir, because I had no clue how I was going to take my character forward.”

When enquired about her middle-aged character in the film, Priyanka said, “It was difficult to imagine myself as a 50 year-old woman. How does someone that old walk, talk? I decided to fashion my character on my mother. Not that she is a killer!”

Bhardwaj’s ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’ is based on Ruskin Bond’s ‘Susanna’s Seven’ story, where a femme fatale kills her seven husbands.

Elaborating about Suzanna’s portrayal, Priyanka said, “When we did our research, we learnt that Indian women don`t age that fast. The make-up artists arrived from Drag Studio, the firm that worked on ‘Benjamin Button’ and ‘Lord of the Rings’. The artists took snaps of my mom, bua, and my grandmom to see how women in my family have aged. And they designed my look accordingly.”

Well, translating Priyanka’s family aging process wasn’t that easy for the makeup artists as the actress added, “We made the make-up artists` life hell since our call time would be 2 am! I would sleep by 7 in the evening, get up by 1.30 am, and by 2 am, I would be ready on the make-up chair. It would take five hours for my make-up to be done. Finally, I`d start shooting at 7 in the morning. By the time they were done working on the film, the make-up artists were like zombies.”

Vanessa Bryant Reality Show

Lakers Brides Vanessa Bryant and Khloe Kardashian have long been the subjects of feud rumors on the Tabloid Circuit, but the latest Word on the Curb claims that Vanessa is seething over Khloe’s upcoming E! reality soap with hubby Lamar Odom.

Earlier this month, E! bosses announced that the network was greenlighting a third spinoff of its smash docu-soap Keeping Up With The Kardashians, this time featuring Khloe and Lamar — who wed after a whirlwind month-long romance in Sept. 2009. No one was more livid to hear the announcement than the Bride of Kobe, say In Touch Weekly insiders.

Not only has Vanessa banned her husband of nearly a decade from guest-starring on the show, she’s reportedly gotten E!’s cameras banned from the Lakers locker room.

“Vanessa and Khloe have been longtime rivals,” an In Touch insider explains. “Vanessa has been pitching her own reality series, with no success yet, and she hates that rival Khloe is impinging on what she considers to be her terrority.”

Another friend adds: “Lamar has been ordered by the power that be to not talk about the Lakers. Lamar might not even be able to wear his uniform on-camera.”

Cheryl Cole's Butterfly Tattoo Sitting Took 11 Hours

Cheryl Cole’s new tattoo, which is a 13-inch butterfly themed design, took 11 hours to be inked on her back.

The X Factor judge, who showed off her butterfly tattoo at Wednesday’s National Television Awards, revealed the tattoo is symbolic of her newfound freedom after her divorce from Ashley.

"The tattoo is deeply personal. It took weeks to come up with the final design. It has a strong symbolic meaning and signifies a fresh start and my new independence.” Cheryl said adding, "The sitting itself was pretty painful but I was determined to get it done in one hit. I didn't cry once!"

Cole has five other known tattoos – a hand design, barbed wire around her right upper thigh, a large butterfly design on her back, as well as one on the left side of her bottom and ‘Mrs C’ on her neck.

Jacqueline I’m nervous about ‘Murder 2′

Sri Lankan actress Jacqueline Fernandes, who is playing female lead in ‘Murder 2′, says she is a ‘little’ nervous about her much-talked about competition with Mallika Sherwat who was in the part one.’I am a little bit nervous. That’s natural, you know,’ giggled Jacqueline when asked about the comparisons with Mallika.’Murder 2′ is a sequel to the 2004 movie, which made headlines for its steamy scenes picturised on Mallika and Emraan Hashmi, who is also in the part two being directed by Mohit Suri.’We all know what ‘Murder’ did for Mallika… It’s natural that people will make comparisons and it’s also natural that it will make me quite nervous and put me under pressure,’ said Jacqueline while talking to reporters at the sidelines of ‘Let’s Design season – 3′ programme here.’Lot of people are expecting ‘Murder-2′ to be like ‘Murder’. But it will be a totally different narrative. I play a totally different character.

Playing Marilyn Monroe scares Naomi Watts

The 42-year-old actress is set to play the yesteryear’s superstar in an adaptation of Andrew Dominik’s ‘Blonde’ and she admits the nerves about the part are getting to her, reported Contactmusic.

“It’s a huge pressure. We all feel we know her. I’m very, very scared about that,” said Watts.

It is not the only movie role she is nervous about – she also felt “daunted” to be playing real life CIA agent Valerie Plame – whose cover was busted by the White House when her husband wrote an anti-Bush editorial piece – in ‘Fair Game’.

Asked about her feelings, Watts said, “Daunting. I’m a lot more fragile than she is. To me, she seems almost invincible.”

She is not the only star to be portraying Marilyn in a movie about her life. Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams is also set to play her in ‘My Week With Marilyn’.

HC throws out “frivolous” petition against SRK

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan for alleged violation of construction norms as “frivolous” and imposed a cost on the petitioner for wasting its time.

Activist Simpreet Singh had filed a PIL against the actor alleging that a building, an extension of his bungalow “Mannat”, a heritage property, had been constructed in gross violation of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) and other rules.

A division bench of Justice P B Majmudar and A Sayed threw out the PIL after observing that the petitioner had targeted the film star only for publicity. “There are so many buildings in the same line as Shah Rukh’s building. Why have you (petitioner) taken an objection against only this building? Simply because he is a film star?,” the bench asked.

According to the petition, the place where the building stands was reserved for an art gallery. The state government, however, informed the court that the reservation was cancelled in 2000 itself. Shah Rukh had purchased the land in 2003 and began construction in 2006.

“Prima facie it seems to be a publicity petition. If the court entertains such PILs then it would send a wrong signal. We have so many other PILs pertaining to poor people’s causes to hear,” Justice Majmudar remarked. The court imposed a cost of Rs 20,000 on the petitioner for wasting its time.

Almost more like what you would get in a theatre experience “If we were thinking about something in a scene or had a question, we could literally walk right over and pop into the person’s dressing room. If somebody was shooting we could. we were all right
there with each other everyday when we were shooting. It allowed for an intimacy and a true ensemble that does not always happen and is not always the case,” said the ‘Indecent Proposal’ star.

‘Margin…’, a thriller which revolves around the key people at an investment bank for over a 24-hour period during the early stages of the financial crisis, was shot in 17 days. Co-actor Paul Bettany believes that the intimate nature helped working quicker and easier.

Chris Brown Wants Rihanna Restraining Order Lifted

Chris Brown reportedly asked for the restraining order that stops him from meeting former girlfriend Rihanna to be lifted during a review hearing in his Rihanna beating case on Friday, January 29.

According to Radar Online, Brown's high profile lawyer, Mark Geragos, requested judge Patricia Schnegg to lift the restraining order since his client had completed 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling mandated by the court.

Geragos told the judge that the restraining order "makes it difficult at award shows and such."

The judge didn't immediately rule on the request, but suggested a modification to the restraining order with the approval of Rihanna's attorney David Etra. Geragos contacted Etra during a court recess, but Etra told Geragos that he would need to speak to Rihanna before agreeing to the change.

The judge then deferred a ruling on Geragos' request for a later date.

During the hearing, Judge Patricia once again commended Brown for the diligence with which he was fulfilling the terms of his August 2009 sentence that placed him on probation for five years and mandated 52 weeks of counseling and 1,400 hours in "labor-oriented service."

The judge had earlier praised Brown's diligence during a progress report hearing in November.

Katie Holmes’ New Movie Sucks

How could Katie Holmes, 32, have been anything else but “very upset” when the news sprang up that people were crowding the theater doorway to get off before the end of her latest movie?

Discussing the incident with UsMagazine Elwes, who is also a sales agent, denied that there had been any exodus. According to him, some people left when the projectionist accidentally turned on the lights before the due time.
