Former tennis star, Jimmy Connors was arrested Friday night at the UC Santa Barbara Thunderdome.
A UCSB campus police rep tells us that Connors was arrested and taken into custody after refusing to leave the area after he was asked by police following a confrontation. The incident occurred at the front entrance during the beginning of a basketball game. Connors was later booked and released.
Connors was well known for his temper tantrums on the court during the 70s. A rep for Connors could not be reached for comment.
Who knew Antonin Scalia might be into Janet Jackson's breast.
It's true ... The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to review the 2004 Super Bowl breast incident that led to a $550,000 fine against CBS.
The FCC has asked the Supremes to review the case, after a Federal Appeals Court ruled the fine was bogus because the image on CBS was merely "fleeting."
Recession or not, it's extremely hard to balance a budget on $40,000 a month. That's why Linda Hogan needs more. Oh did we mention -- she wants Hulk to foot the bill for her 19-year-old boyfriend's nautical tuition? Charley Hill wants to go to sea school, and Linda wants Hulk to pay for what could be the next Captain & Tennille. Getting back to why $40,000 isn't enough, Linda blew $14 grand at a Bev Hills Doctor's office this week. Hulk says it's for cosmetic surgery.
It may cost him a bundle, but we're thinkin' that divorce is the best move of Hulk's life.
Travis Barker is suing Bombardier Inc., Clay Lacy Aviation and Goodyear Tire and Rubber in connection with the plane crash that severely injured him and killed two of his friends. The suit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, was filed by Barker and the mother of Charles "Che" Still, Travis' bodyguard who died in the crash.
In the lawsuit, Travis and Thelma Martin Still claim "one or more of the tires failed leaving tire debris and portions of airplane components along the 8,600 foot runway" ultimately causing the Learjet to crash.
The suit alleges a "negligent attempt to abort the takeoff." The suit continues, "The pilot's decision was a breach of their duty owed to the passengers onboard and was a substantial factor in causing the crash and resultant injuries and deaths."
The suit also alleges the plane was "defective," as were component parts including the tires.
The suit goes on, "It's landing gear, tires, wheels, brakes, reverse thrust system, squat switches and component parts were not airworthy."
Barker is suing for "pain and suffering, mental anguish, psychological and emotional distress and disfigurement and pre-impact fear of death and burning."
UPDATE: A rep for Clay Lacy just told TMZ, "We are surprised about the lawsuit and concerned and knowledgeable about the accident. We are sympathetic for the victims but we want to emphasize we were not operating this airplane. This was not our airplane. We merely assisted the parties in chartering this aircraft with another company. We simply booked it for them."
She looks incredibly hot. She's wearing a tight black, sleeveless dress with black high heels.
She's there for a conservatorship status conference...we're told nothing spectacular is going to happen. We've learned one of the issues they will deal with is what Britney plans to do with her upcoming album release and possible tour that will follow.
Brit is with her dad and a bunch of Sheriff's deputies. The conservatorship lawyers are there as well.
As soon as she cleared the metal detector, she asked where the bathroom was. No 76 stations at the courthouse. Story developing
The song "Happy Together" has successfully annoyed every last American. Now the tune has so bent someone out of shape, they're suing.
The company that owns the rights to the record claims Ford did not have the right to use The Turtles' 1967 hit in a commercial. The sinking motor company had struck a deal to use the words and music from the song in Brazil and Argentina, but the song owner insists Ford violated its Turtle rights.
We just got docs in the Madonna/Guy Ritchie divorce case. It ain't spectacular, that's for sure, but in case you want to see what a gazillionaire gets from a judge to make her single again, have at it. The divorce becomes official in 6 weeks.
Bruce Willis has learned a valuable lesson about rubbers.
Willis is suing a Malaysian company and the guys who run it after investing $2 million in what the suit calls "a revolutionary technology to produce devulcanised 'green rubber.'" The product is non-toxic and recyclable.
Short story -- Willis claims Elastomer Technologies and The Petra Group, run by HRH Prince Imran Ibni Tuanku Ja'afar and Datuk Vinod B. Sekhar (both common spelling) guaranteed that it was a "no risk" investment. In the lawsuit filed in Federal Court, Willis says he had a "put option," meaning he could demand his money back at any time.
Willis says he got $1,1000,000 back and is still owed $900,000.
Warren Beatty wants to unload more "Dick Tracy" on the world, but says he's getting blocked from doing so. And maybe that's a good thing. Warren is suing Tribune Media to get the license on "Dick" back, and claims the company was supposed to give him a two-year get-movin' warning to let him know they were ending his rights if he wasn't doing "Dick".
They did, on Nov. 17, 2006. Beatty claims he "started filming" on Nov. 8 this year -- just a shade under the deadline -- but they yanked his rights anyway.
Tribune didn't comment immediately. And we did resist the temptation to leave "Tracy" out of this headline, so you're welcome.
One of the stars of "Stargate: Atlantis" got his face ripped open in a ferocious bar fight -- and now the man who allegedly did the attacking has officially been charged with a crime.
Jason Momoa, who appeared on shows like "Baywatch" and "Stargate: Atlantis" received 140 stitches after Dominic Bando allegedly cracked him in the face with a pint glass at a West Hollywood cafe last week. Cops say the whole thing escalated after "a verbal altercation" earlier in the night.
Now the Los Angeles County D.A. has charged Bando with assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily injury. Momoa -- Lisa Bonet's baby daddy -- needed reconstructive surgery to fix his face.
Bando, who was already on probation for after he was convicted of gun charges in March, will be arraigned December 10. He could get up to seven years in state prison.
It's curtains for a Miami house owned by Wyclef Jean's company -- and it's not even built yet. The as-yet-unfinished manse is going to be sold off by Miami-Dade county Dec. 12 because Wy -- through a company he set up with friends -- has yet to pay back over $2 mil he owes on the mortgage. The house went into FC City in March.
And it wasn't just the mortgage that wasn't paid -- court docs show there were plenty of people working on the house that haven't gotten paid either.
The L.A. County District Attorney has rejected the case against Jason Chambers, the host of "Human Weapon" on The History Channel.
As we first reported, Chambers was arrested November 11 for allegedly raping a woman. Cops also believed he used some sort of drug to allegedly commit the sexual assault.
The D.A.'s office tells us they rejected the case because of "insufficient evidence."
Chambers's attorney, Adam Zolonz, tells TMZ, "After taking the matter under submission, the DA's office found the lack of corroboration, delay in reporting, and the numerous defenses presented ... to warrant a rejection of the complaint's ludicrous contentions."
It was the perfect metaphor for the McCain-Palin campaign. As Sarah Palin tried to do a good thing -- pardon a turkey -- a turkey farmer went all Marie Antoinette on a bird in the background.
A trial starts today in a battle between the classes -- the classes being the rich and the much richer.
The battleground is one of the most exclusive areas of Bev Hills, called Beverly Park, which is divided into Northern and Southern parts. The South Beverly Park Homeowners Association is suing the North BPHA -- the posher part where Barry Bonds, Rod Stewart, Sly Stallone and Denzel Washington reside -- because the hired help and others for the Southern masters have been blocked from entering on the North side.
Housekeepers and gardeners have been forced to take a seven-mile detour to enter on the South.
The judge is expected to instruct the jury, "Four score and seven years ago...."

Remy always has maintained that the shooting was an "accident."
