Shaquille O'Neal is embroiled in a criminal case in which 7 gang members allegedly kidnapped, beat up and robbed a man who claimed to have a tape showing Shaq having sex with other women while he was married to Shaunie. Ladell Rowles -- a member of the Main Street Mafia Crip Gang in L.A. who is friends with Shaq -- along with 6 other members went on a search and destroy mission in L.A. on February 11, 2008. They believed a man named Robert Ross had the sex tape and they tried getting it back with the help of a gun. According to the police report, the 7 gang members met up with Ross at a convenience store -- Pink Dot -- on the Sunset Strip. The men allegedly surrounded Ross' Rolls Royce Phantom with guns drawn, jumped into Ross' car and ordered him to drive to Rowles' house in South Central L.A. Once there, Rowles allegedly pistol whipped Ross and demanded that he turn over the sex tape. Ross said he would get the tape and bring it back to them. The 7 men then allegedly took Ross' Rolex, diamond chain and earrings, along with $15,000 in cash -- then let Ross go. The 7 men have been arrested and charged with robbery, kidnapping and other crimes. They are currently in the middle of a preliminary hearing and being held in jail. LAPD detectives interviewed Shaq to determine what, if any, involvement he had in the alleged crimes.
Cage in court for ex's lawsuit
Nicolas Cage met with a judge Tuesday to try to settle a lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend over money and a house she claims the Oscar-winner promised her. Cage walked past ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton on his way into a conference with Superior Court Judge Teresa Sanchez-Gordon, who urged attorneys handling the case to try to reach a settlement before trial. He and his attorneys were in chambers for roughly 90 minutes before Fulton and her lawyers were called before the judge. The judge ruled Tuesday that Fulton couldn't sue Cage for breaching an oral contract to transfer ownership of the Los Angeles house to the former actress, saying the claim was barred by a statute of limitations. The former actress sued Cage in December 2009 for $13 million, claiming he broke a promise to care for her and their adult son. Fulton's attorney, K. Lee Crawford Boyd, said Cage promised to provide the home and support payments to her client so he could become a megastar. "If Nicolas Cage had to step in and be a parent, he could not be Nicolas Cage," she told the judge. Fulton has said she was coerced into signing financial agreements with Cage, claims the actor and his attorneys have denied. She also sought Tuesday to amend her lawsuit and add new claims against the actor, but Sanchez-Gordon rejected that effort.

Mildred Baena Describes Maria Shriver's Reaction to Love Child News
When Joseph Baena, now 13, first learned from his mother, housekeeper Mildred Baena, that his father was Arnold Schwarzenegger, the boy's reaction was simple. "Cool!" he said. Mildred met with a different – though surprisingly compassionate – response from Schwarzenegger's then-wife, Maria Shriver, the 50-year-old Baena tells Hello! magazine, which just hit newsstands in the U.K., in an exclusive interview. Shriver, says Baena, was among many people who noticed the resemblance between young Joseph and the now-former governor of California. Baena worked for Schwarzenegger and Shriver for 20 years. "Last summer, I brought Joseph over to the house. Until then, he hadn't been around very much," says Baena. "After that, people in the house started whispering about how much they looked like each other." That included the lady of the house. "Maria would ask if I needed to talk to her, and I kept saying no. Finally, she asked point blank. Maria asked me directly if Joseph was Arnold's son, and I just broke down. I dropped to my knees and I was crying, saying that yes he was and I was so sorry," Baena says in the interview. Hearing the news, "She cried with me and told me to get off my knees," Baena says of Shriver. "Since I was retiring soon, I said I would pack and leave right away," says Baena, "but she said to stay until after the holidays."Hugh Hefner & Crystal Harris's Wedding Is Called Off

Will "American Idol's" judging panel change yet again in Season 11? Possibly. Jennifer Lopez, who just completed her first season judging the show, says she still hasn't made a decision regarding her return to FOX's hit show. "I don't know. I haven't been forced to make a decision and I'm glad about that because honestly, I'm very on the fence about it," J.Lo said. "It's going to come down to me making a choice of what I want to do for the nest year and we're not really at the breaking point of 'You have to make a decision right now!' I'm just really enjoying the time of just waiting and seeing." Lopez only signed a one-year deal with the show while Steven Tyler signed a multi-year contract, so he'll definitely be back for another season alongside ol' faithful Randy Jackson.
