Rodman 'drunkenly barged into ex-wife's house, takes son for breakfast shots' in alleged attack

Dennis Rodman's ex-wife Michelle has obtained a temporary restraining order against the former NBA star. The move stems from a May incident when Rodman, "drunkenly barged into his ex-wife's house... early in the morning, attacked her, then insisted on taking her and their son out for breakfast ... where he slammed 4-6 Jägermeister shots." Michelle appeared in court this week, and, "took the stand, describing the events that took place -- claiming Dennis had shown up to Michelle's house wasted at 2:30 a.m., completely unannounced, and demanded to see his 11-year-old son." "Michelle said Dennis attacked her when she refused, shoving her onto a bed, then took off, only to return hours later, still intoxicated, asking to take their son to breakfast. Michelle obliged ... on the condition she came with [them]." The report goes on to say that, "At breakfast, Michelle said Dennis got even more wasted, ordering 4-6 shots of Jägermeister [in front of his son]," and that the former Detroit Piston also allegedly made comments about Michelle's boyfriend, yelling, "You're [bleeping] this white guy!" Michelle Rodman is further taking action today to make the restraining order permanent, The hearings over the permanent restraining order continue today, and Rodman's expected to take the stand. He's also due in another LA courtroom today, "to fight his $51,000-a-month child support payments." Rodman's agent Darren Prince recently said that the ex-player's drinking has "sabotaged" many career opportunities.  “We’ve had many discussions with TNT and others, and they all say the same thing — he’s too risky, because they don’t know if he’s going to show up drunk or not show up at all," Prince said.

 

'Brave' hits the bullseye with $66.7 million
For the third time this year, following strong openings from The Hunger Games and Snow White and the Huntsman,  a movie with a tough female protagonist topped the box office in a major way. Disney-Pixar’s Brave was right on target in its debut weekend, opening to $66.7 million — the fifth-best debut ever for a Pixar film, and a faster start than last year’s Cars 2, which opened with $66.1 million. Brave continued Pixar’s streak of number one debuts, as all 13 of the studio’s  releases have reached the peak position during their first weekend of wide release. In second place, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted dropped 41 percent to $20.2 million, giving DreamWorks’ $145 million animated sequel a $157.6 million total after three weekends. The 1-2 finish of Brave and Madagascar 3 marks just the third time in the past decade that two animated films have taken up the top two spots at the box office. Fox’s $69 million revisionist horror film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter earned a decidedly un-presidential $16.5 million in its debut frame.
1. Brave – $66.7 million
3. Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted – $20.2 million
2. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter – $16.5 million
4. Prometheus – $10.0 million
5. Snow White and the Huntsman – $8.0 million
 Eric Christian Olsen is officially off the market. The NCIS: Los Angeles star tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, actress Sarah Wright, 29, on Saturday near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. "You hear people talk about cold feet, but there was never a moment of doubt with Sarah because no one makes me happier, no one makes me laugh more, and I can't imagine a better mother for our future children," Olsen, 35, said. The couple, who met in 2006, exchanged vows during an evening outdoor ceremony performed by Olsen’s father, Paul, on the grounds of the Wyoming barn the actor bought and remodeled with his father, his brother and Wright. Olsen proposed to Wright, who stars in the upcoming feature film 21 and Over, while on vacation last year in Punta Mita, Mexico. This is the first marriage for Olsen and the second for Wright.

WikiLeaks founder wants guarantee he won't be sent to US

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange Monday called for diplomatic guarantees he will not be pursued by the United States for publishing secret documents if he goes to Sweden to face criminal allegations. The Australian, 40, said he is prepared to go to Sweden to face questioning over sex assault claims, but fears Stockholm will turn him over to the US where he could face espionage and conspiracy charges over revelations by WikiLeaks. "Ultimately it may be a matter of what guarantees the United Kingdom, the United States and Sweden are willing to provide," he told the Sydney Morning Herald from the Ecuador embassy in London, where he is seeking asylum. Assange believes Washington will pursue him after WikiLeaks published a cache of sensitive documents, including about the Afghan and Iraq wars, and thousands of diplomatic cables which have embarrassed governments worldwide. Assange has said he chose Ecuador's embassy instead of his home country's because he felt Canberra had done nothing to protect him, a charge the government has denied. Canberra has said it has limited capacity to help him because he is not in Australia and has not broken any Australian laws.
