David Duchovny and Téa Leoni, married for 14 years, have separated, their reps confirmed.

But they reunited and soon seemed closer than ever. The couple first met early in their careers when they were both interviewing for the same guest spot on the Tonight Show. They married in 1997. They have two children – daughter Madelaine West, 12, and son Kyd, 9.



Halle and Aubry Back in Court

After the dust seemed to settle from the supposed feud over their daughter’s race, Halle Berry and her ex, Gabriel Aubry, are at it again. Back in court, Halle is now allegedly claiming that Gabriel has been breaking the rules of their custody agreement, claiming he’s been negligent to their three year-old, Nahla. A source close to the situation says, “If [Aubry] drops off Nahla just five minutes late or is not exactly on time when he picks her up, he gets it in the ear, big time. Then he is criticized for not taking Nahla to the 'right kind of places' when he's with her, not dressing her correctly, not feeding her the right kind of foods.” "Gabriel said there was a nuclear level melt-down last week because he gave Nahla pizza on one of her 'non-cheat days',” the source reveals. The source says that Halle’s attorneys have been working hard to build a case against Gabriel. “At the end of the day Gabe just wants to get on with his life, and spend time with his daughter in peace—but it just seems that’s not going to happen.”


Justin Buying MySpace

Pop star Justin Timberlake is part of a group that said it will buy MySpace from News Corp. Timberlake will become a part owner and play "a major role in developing the creative direction and strategy for the company moving forward," according to Specific Media, the company that he will partner with. The deal is for $35 million, mostly in Specific Media stock, according to a person familiar with the matter. The deal values MySpace at a fraction of what News Corp. paid for the site six years ago and paves the way for the layoff of about half of the 500 workers, the person said. As part of the exchange, News Corp. will receive a private equity stake in Specific Media.



Aaron Carter Says He Did Coke with MJ

Aaron Carter claims that Michael Jackson gave him cocaine when he was 15. On the 2nd anniversary of MJ’s death, Aaron opens up about their relationship, “I miss Michael…But I was also troubled about what he did to me.” “He gave me wine. I mean, I could have refused, but I was 15. He gave me cocaine. I felt weird about that and other stuff…I admitted Michael, but his behavior bothered me a lot.” Nick and Aaron Carter have always been big supporters of Michael Jackson, always defending their relationship with the late star. Years ago the much younger Carter denied drug use in an interview with People magazine, “I don’t do drugs. I didn’t do them with Michael Jackson and I don’t do them with anyone else.” He was either lying then or lying now and my guess is that the former “I Want Candy” star is abusing Michael Jackson’s posthumous power for a little publicity of his own.
