Pacino joins Travolta and Lohan for Gotti film

Al Pacino is telling a new mob family story, joining John Travolta for the crime saga "Gotti: Three Generations." Pacino will play Gambino crime family underboss Neil Dellacroce, an associate and mentor to John Gotti Sr.(Travolta), according to the film's production company, Fiore Films.  "Gotti" reunites Pacino with Barry Levinson, who directed the actor in his role as Dr. Jack Kevorkian in last year's TV movie "You Don't Know Jack," for which Pacino won an Emmy. Levinson also was a producer on Pacino's 1997 crime drama "Donnie Brasco," and co-wrote his 1979 court saga "... And Justice for All." The cast also includes Lindsay Lohan, Joe Pesci and Travolta's wife, Kelly Preston.
 Hot on the trail of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, British newspapers are feverishly reporting Tuesday that the newlyweds have quietly jetted to the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa for their belated honeymoon, 10 days after their Royal Wedding. William and Catherine were helicoptered to a private, unspecified island for an expected stay of 10 days in a secluded villa. (There are 115 islands in the Seychelles, so the paparazzi will have a tough time finding them.)

Black Eyed Peas guitarist sues their business manager -- claims fraud

Black Eyed Peas guitarist George Pajon sued the band's business manager, accusing him of breach of contract, professional negligence, fraud and other charges. In the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by attorney Richard A. Kolber, Pajon says that Sean Larkin and his company, Larkin Business Management, caused Pajon more than $1 million in damages. "Some or all of Defendants' actions were done with malice aforethought, fraud and oppression in that they never intended to perform their duties as Plaintiff's business managers," the lawsuit says. According to the lawsuit, Larkin, a certified public accountant and business manager, failed to file state or federal tax returns for Pajon and his company, El Cubano Music. It says that around July 2009, Pajon learned that Larkin hadn't paid the taxes, resulting in a large tax liability. The lawsuit claims that Larkin acknowledged that he had failed to file the returns. In 2009, a lawyer for the Black Eyed Peas accused Larkin of failing to file income tax returns for the band's touring operation. That lawyer, Helen Yu, made the allegations as a response to a defamation lawsuit that Larkin filed against her. Larkin claimed that "due to an inadvertent oversight," he failed to file the band's -- and some of its members -- tax returns and that Yu used the lapse to send letters about him "filled with venomous lies and fabricated accusations." Larkin sued Yu for defamation over the letters. A judge dismissed that lawsuit.
