Restraining Order Issued Against Nic Cage's Son

The guy who beat the crap out of Nic Cage's son Weston got a restraining order against Weston claiming he's the victim of harassment. Kevin Villegas -- who worked for Nic Cage -- punched the living daylights out of Weston in Hollywood earlier this month after Weston allegedly tried to attack him with a roundhouse kick. Cops responded to the scene -- strapped Weston to a gurney and took him to a hospital for a mental evaluation. After the fight, Villegas filed a request for a restraining order against Weston -- calling him "mentally unstable" and claiming Weston issued "threats of violence" against Villegas and his family at the time of the fight. A judge granted the restraining order -- requiring Weston to stay at least 100 yards away from Villegas and his family at all times.

Jennifer Lopez Speaks Out About "Sex Tape"

Jennifer Lopez is finally speaking out about her ex husband’s claims that he has a sex tape and the fact that the intimate video has been sold and will most likely be leaked online soon. Her ex Ojani Noa has 27 hours of footage of Jennifer before she became J.Lo. The tapes have some intimate stuff on there, but J.Lo insists it’s absolutely not a “sex tape.” She said: "My first husband has tapes of us from our life. It's horrible. It's horrible someone would try to sell personal things, but there's nothing on it. There's no sex tape." A judge had put a stop to the tape so her douchey ex sold it to his girlfriend Claudia Vazquez in order to make sure the tapes become public. Luckily that annoyed the judge handling the case and the tapes have been turned over to J.Lo’s attorney Jay Lavley and are currently in a safe deposit box. He said: "Now there is an evidentiary chain. Before they just wanted me to hand it over to Jay Lavely and he would just put it in a drawer. We went with a bank so people will be photographed coming in and out and there is no tampering." Her ex seems pretty determined to make the tapes public so don't be surprised if they “leak” online and he blames his current girlfriend for them.


R. Kelly Ex-Manager Sues HIm for Using Money to Pay Off Sex Accusers
R. Kelly's ex-manager claims the singer refused to pay him more than $1 million in hard-earned commissions ... insisting Kelly instead used the money to pay off people who accused him of sexual misconduct. The manager -- Jeff Kwatinetz -- filed a lawsuit against Kelly today in L.A. County Superior Court ... claiming he single-handedly resurrected R. Kelly's career back in 2008 ... when the singer was drowning in child pornography charges. Jeff claims he "guided Kelly through the recording of two new albums, substantial multi-million dollar tours ... a book deal, and a myriad of other appearances and events" -- and "Kelly reaped millions of dollars" while under his management. But according to Jeff, Kelly left him in the lurch -- and "has failed and refused to pay" the 15% commission rate they allegedly agreed on. According to the lawsuit, Kelly's business manager regularly told Jeff he couldn't be paid "because the monies were needed for payments to avoid lawsuits and adverse publicity resulting from Kelly's alleged [sexual misconduct]." Now, Jeff wants Kelly to pony up at least $1 million in unpaid commissions and punitive damages.

Steven Spielberg Had Megan Fox Fired from Transformers, Says Michael Bay

In the run-up to shooting Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Megan Fox said that director Michael Bay "wants to be like Hitler on his sets" and that he's "a nightmare to work for." A few months later, she got her walking papers. But it wasn't Bay who made the call, the director says. "She was in a different world, on her BlackBerry. You gotta stay focused," Bay tells the July issue of GQ, on newsstands Tuesday. "And you know, the Hitler thing. Steven said, 'Fire her right now.'" He was referring to Steven Spielberg, one of the executive producers. Fellow Transformers star Shia LaBeouf says he agrees Fox went too far. "Criticism is one thing," he told the magazine. "Then there's public name-calling, which turns into high school bashing. Which you can't do. She started s----talking our captain." Bay, however, says he was able to put the actress's comments into perspective. "I wasn’t hurt, because I know that’s just Megan," he says. "Megan loves to get a response. And she does it in the wrong way. I’m sorry, Megan. I’m sorry I made you work 12 hours. I’m sorry that I’m making you show up on time. Movies are not always warm and fuzzy."
