Lost Star Matthew Fox Accused of Assaulting a Woman

Matthew Fox was detained by cops in Cleveland, Ohio Saturday night after allegedly assaulting a woman outside of a bar. The "Lost" star allegedly tried to enter a party bus even though he wasn't a guest on the vehicle. The female bus driver repeatedly asked him to get off the bus and stood to block him from getting on board, at which point, he allegedly punched her in the breast and the "stomach area." The altercation was witnessed by an off duty cop, who handcuffed him until he was detained by police. The bus driver, Heather Bormann says she thinks Matthew was drunk, saying he smelled like a brewery, when she warned him several times to stop trying to get on the private bus Saturday night. She also claims "he just stepped in for a right hook to my pelvis area and started wailing on me like I was a man." Heather says she fought back in self-defense -- landing a left to Matt's jaw, spraining her hand in the process. She explained she is meeting with prosecutors tomorrow to file charges.

Josh Brolin Is Spike Lee’s ‘Oldboy’

Feelings towards Spike Lee​’s Oldboy project remain quite hostile, despite the recent news that Christian Bale is currently considering the film as his potential followup to The Dark Knight Rises. Bale is eying the villain role in Lee’s Americanized take on Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook’s cult-classic (itself, an adaptation of a Japanese comic book). The lead role in the picture, however, has now officially been filled. Josh Brolin​ has signed on to headline Oldboy, which was finally rescued from development limbo when Lee signed on earlier this summer. Brolin, will play the part of Joe, a man who, on the day his daughter is born, is captured and imprisoned in a hotel room for over two decades with no understanding as to why. When he is suddenly released, he’s told that he has just four days to determine the reason for his imprisonment and, if he cannot, his daughter will be killed.

HBO Star Larry David Labeled a Home-Wrecker After Taking Up With Married Actress

Actor Larry David has gone from home-wrecked to home-wrecker with his new girlfriend, Amy Landecker, who was married when they first met. The "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator, whose own wife left him in 2007, has moved on with the lovely yet married Landecker, 41, who he wooed on the set of his HBO show last year while they filmed the episode "The Bi-Sexual." Landecker, an actress who also starred in "A Serious Man," appeared on the episode as a bisexual Jane Cohen, who was pursued by both David and his rival, talk-show host Rosie O'Donnell. Sources say there were "sparks on the set" between the 64-year-old comedian and Landecker, who was wed for six years to journalist Jackson Lynch. Landecker has been seen out with David, in events in New York and Los Angeles, since February but only filed for divorce from Lynch, with whom she has one daughter, in March. Their divorce is still pending. Landecker's rep said it was "unequivocally not true" that David was the cause of her break-up but Lynch said his wife began dating the Emmy Award-winning writer before she had filed for divorce. According to his rep David countered, "For what it's worth, the only marriage I've ever broken up is my own."
