Kelsey Grammer Settles Lawsuit For 10 Bucks

Kelsey Grammer has ended a lawsuit over the 2008 flop “Swing Vote” by paying a $10 settlement to a man who alleged the film was similar to a plot he wrote years earlier. Grammer was named as a defendant in a suit filed by Bradley Blakeman in August 2008, but was the last party left fighting the case after a judge dismissed claims against co-star Kevin Costner and Disney executives who owned the rights. Blakeman claimed he had given a copy of his script “Go November” to Grammer in 2006 and was shocked to see the actor starring in the “extraordinarily similar” “Swing Vote” two years later. The case was going so bad that Blakeman accepted $10 from Kelsey about a week ago.

Kids Don’t Like Celeb Chef’s Healthy Lunches

Kids at the West Virginia school featured in ABC’s “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution” liked their standard pizza and chicken nuggets more than the celebrity chef’s fresh, healthy menu items. And when denied the food they were used to, many stopped buying school lunches. A survey at Central City Elementary in Huntington also found children drank less milk after Oliver removed the sugary chocolate and strawberry bottles. But there is a bright spot in the data from the West Virginia University Health Research Center – more than six in 10 kids said they’d learned to try new foods. ABC chose to have the show in Huntington after a 2008 Associated Press story dubbed the area the nation’s unhealthiest.

Kate Gosselin’s ‘Dancing’ Drama

Sources backstage at “Dancing With the Stars” say the sparring between Kate Gosselin and partner Tony Dovolani seen on Monday night’s show is just the tip of the iceberg, and that things escalated so quickly that Kate insisted Tony get the boot from the show! However, it seems it’s not Tony who’s the problem. “Everyone involved in the show thinks Kate is impossible. We all feel very sorry that poor Tony got paired up with her. She talks to him as if he is her ninth child,” sources tell Popeater. “At one point things got so bad that Kate demanded that the show’s producers fire Tony and get her a new partner. However, everyone would rather get rid of her than Tony, who is loved by all the staff,” the source said.

Shocking Elimination On ‘Dancing With The Stars’

If Shannen and Mark were not eliminated, Mark would have had to take six weeks off due to an injury to his knee sustained during rehearsals. The couple was not even able to do their last dance. Pamela Anderson was the other celebrity in the bottom two. The celebrities left in the competition are Buzz Aldrin, Pamela Anderson, Jake Pavelka, Kate Gosselin, Chad Ochocinco, Aiden Turner, Niecy Nash, Nicole Scherzinger, Evan Lysacek and Erin Andrews.

A heavily-inked stripper named Melissa Smith tells Star magazine that she had a two-year affair with Jessie James just a year after he married Sandra Bullock. James reportedly contacted Smith via MySpace in 2006 after seeing photos of her at a West Coast Choppers event. He then invited her to his California office. The meet-n-greet turned into a romp, according to Smith. Star says the rendezvous was “just the first of many,” reporting that James and Smith met every two months. Meanwhile, TMZ is reporting that a former high-level female executive with West Coast Choppers settled a sexual harassment lawsuit against James and West Coast Choppers for more than $700,000 in 2007, while he was married to Bullock. The woman quit and hired Gloria Allred’s law firm to represent her. No lawsuit was ever filed, but the matter was settled for $725,000 in September 2007.

Copperfield Civil Trial To Go Ahead

A federal judge has lifted a stay that has held up a lawsuit a Washington State model filed against David Copperfield. Lacey Carroll, 23, is suing the magician for allegedly sexually assaulting her on his private Caribbean island in 2007. A criminal investigation into Carroll’s allegations ended this year with no charges filed. The judge set a May 2011 trial date for the civil lawsuit.

‘Two And A Half Men’ Episodes Canceled

Producers of Charlie Sheen’s “Two and a Half Men” show have reportedly axed two of the upcoming season’s final four episodes to accommodate the actor’s recent visit to rehab. Shooting on the CBS comedy was halted last month after Sheen, who has a history of substance problems, was admitted into a recovery facility as a “preventative measure.” The delay has now led CBS to cut the planned total of 24 episodes for the seventh season down to 22, according to TMZ. Sheen’s admission into a treatment clinic came in the wake of his Christmas Day arrest in Aspen, Colorado, following a violent altercation with wife Brooke Mueller.

Corey Haim’s Name Found On Drug-Ring Prescription

California officials have revealed that the late Corey Haim’s name has turned up in their investigation of a major drug ring. Though the L.A. coroner’s office has not yet said what killed the 38-year-old actor last week, he had long battled addiction. Authorities found prescription drug bottles in his home – all prescribed by a doctor – but California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Haim’s name was found on a fake prescription for OxyContin uncovered in the ongoing state investigation.

‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Premieres

Last night was the Season Three premiere of “Celebrity Apprentice.” Donald Trump, of course, has already fired somebody. As usual, the teams were divided into men vs. women to kick off the show. Last night’s task was to run a diner for three hours. The winner was determined by which team raised the most money. To keep it interesting, Trump had each team choose the other team’s project manager. The men chose Cyndi Lauper for the women, and Brett Michaels was the women’s choice. But who got fired? Unfortunately for her, comedian Carol Leifer went home because she was on the losing team (the women) and wasn’t much of a team player. The Donald promised that the next task would not be based on who could bring the most money from their deep-pocketed celebrity friends and he was telling the truth. Next week’s episode asks the Rocksolid and Tenacity teams to build a storefront to re-launch Kodak’s famous Kodak Moments campaign.

Army Sgt. Says He Was ‘Locker’ Inspiration

A U.S. Army Master Sergeant is suing the makers of “The Hurt Locker” for allegedly basing the film’s main character and plot points on his experiences. The Iraq war movie has been winning awards all season and is up for several Oscars this Sunday. A law firm claims Sarver “is, in fact, the film’s main character, ‘Will James,’ or ‘Blaster One,’ which was Master Sgt. Sarver’s ‘call signal’ during his tours of duty in Iraq.” The suit said screenwriter Mark Boal was allowed, as part of an armed services press program, to be embedded in Sarver’s unit. The suit also claims the movie’s screenwriter and makers intentionally cheated Sarver out of financial participation in the film and any acknowledgment of his heroic actions in Iraq.

Baron Cohen had been set to appear with Ben Stiller onstage dressed as a blue-skinned, female Na’vi from “Avatar.” Stiller was to have been “her” translator.

The bit was nixed at the last moment by co-producer Bill Mechanic, who feared it would offend Cameron.

Betty White NOT Dead

Betty White is alive and well – though one hoaxer better lie low for a while! For a few minutes Tuesday night / early Wednesday morning, a death hoax was making the rounds on Twitter. The hoax didn’t start on Twitter, however; it was sparked by a post on the popular gossip blog “Oh No They Didn’t” that pretended to be a screen grab of a TMZ article. The article was clearly fake, mentioning possibilities of foul play and drug abuse. The offending post was eventually deleted, but the damage was done and White’s fans are calling for blood.
