Bulls' Rose tears ACL, done for playoffs

Derrick Rose crumbled to the floor, clutching his left knee. His season is over and the Bulls' title hopes just might be finished, too. Rose will miss the rest of the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee late in Chicago's 103-91 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in Saturday's playoff opener, casting big cloud over a team eyeing a championship run. He scored 23 points and was playing more like the league's reigning MVP after missing 27 games because of injuries during the regular season, but his injury-plagued season came to an end as the Bulls were wrapping up an impressive victory. The Sixers' Lavoy Allen sprained his right thumb but is expected to play Tuesday. This is the third playoff series between Chicago and Philadelphia, with the Bulls beating the Sixers in the 1990 and 1991 conference semifinals

Michael Jackson's Former Bodyguard says He is Blanket's Father
Michael Jackson's former bodyguard is planning to fight to prove he's the biological father of the King of Pop's youngest child, Blanket. Matt Fiddes wants to spend quality time with the 10 year old and introduce the boy to his mother, who is battling cancer.  He said, "I want her to see Blanket more than anything." The British martial arts expert has maintained he's Blanket's dad for years and now he's planning to give a DNA sample to officials and let them decide if he has the right to fight for visitation rights.   Fiddes adds, "All I want is access." And he insists his custody battle has nothing to do with the Jackson family cash, insisting, "I'm a self-made man. I don't want or need their cash." Only Michael Jackson's name appeared on Blanket's birth certificate when he was born in 1992 and the late superstar always maintained he had fathered the child with a surrogate, but Fiddes claims he donated his sperm to the King of Pop shortly after they became friends and the Thriller singer once told him that he was his son's biological dad. The father-of-three recalls, "I asked, 'Is Blanket my child?' and he said, 'He's my child, Matt, but I used your sperm to produce him.'"

Deion cited for fight with estranged wife

Much like his playing days, Deion Sanders' tumultuous marriage has had no shortage of flash and drama: A reality television show, a divorce arrangement in which the couple still lived together and now, misdemeanor assault charges. Police said late Tuesday that the former Dallas Cowboys star was cited for misdemeanor simple assault in the wake of an altercation with his estranged wife, Pilar, that got her arrested Monday at their mansion in the Dallas suburb of Prosper. The Hall of Famer had tweeted Monday that she attacked him, and he even posted a photo of his children filling out police reports. He later removed the photo and posted a new message about joy. Police said further investigation led to a charge also being filed against the football star, though it didn't warrant his arrest. Prosper police spokesman Celso Martinez wouldn't detail the allegations, but said the charge covers any act considered aggressive and could be as simple as touching or defensively jerking away from someone's grip. It carries a fine of up to $500.  A day after Pilar was arrested, Deion had removed the tweeted photo. He also tweeted a different message: ''Joy came this morning and we opened the door and let Joy in.'' Pilar Sanders, who was charged with misdemeanor assault and held overnight in county jail, was released Tuesday. Standing outside Collin County Jail, she said she was being treated unfairly. ''I'm a full-time mom, 100 percent for my children,'' she said, her voice breaking. ''And I just haven't been given a fair shake.'' Her husband, known as ''Prime Time'' during his Hall of Fame playing career, is an icon in the Dallas area for spending five seasons as a cornerback with the Cowboys. Deion and Pilar Sanders have been living in the same home in Prosper, months after Deion filed for divorce in December. Deion's attorney, Rick Robertson, has said both had separate living areas within the large home.
 Heidi Klum‘s newest nude pictorial — this one for Astor Cosmetics — comes with a whole lot of color.

I don’t mind sitting still for such a long time, though; it’s a living piece of art that I’m so honored to be a part of.”



Judge Rules Tweets Do Not Violate Gag order
Deion Sanders and Pilar Sanders divorce has taken another turn. The Sanders' divorce file is under seal and a judge has placed both sides under a gag order. Deion had previously tweeted about Pilar's attack and arrest. Judge Robertson said he didn't see the tweets as a violation of that order because the alleged attack was a separate issue. ''The assault action that occurred was a criminal action that also constitutes family violence,'' he said. ''Pilar Sanders was arrested for that and jailed.'' A magistrate judge ordered her Tuesday to stay away from their home for 60 days. The judge also barred her from threatening or harassing her husband. ''I can tell you that there are two sides to every story and the truth will come out in court,'' he said in a statement. Robertson said Deion regretted the conflict in his family and ''having it aired publicly'' for his children to see. He would not say why the football star tweeted about the alleged incident. Pilar Sanders is a model who has appeared on several television shows, including a 2008 Oxygen network reality series about their family's home life, ''Deion & Pilar: Prime Time Love.'' The couple married in 1999. Deion Sanders, who played for five NFL teams and is now an NFL Network analyst, has three children with Pilar and two from a former marriage. Separately, Pilar Sanders is suing Deion Sanders; his daughter from his first marriage, Deiondra Sanders; and Prime Time Enterprise Inc., for $200 million in damages. That case is scheduled to go to trial in September. She is also suing Deion Sanders' aunt, Laura Jones, alleging Jones assaulted her in February.

Jennifer Hudson Testifies at Trial
Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson broke down in tears Monday while testifying at the trial of the man accused of killing her mother, her brother and her 7-year-old nephew in a jealous rage four years ago.  Hudson was the first witness called after prosecutors and attorneys for William Balfour finished their opening statements. During her brief but emotional testimony, she told jurors her family didn't want her sister to marry Balfour, and she spoke about the last time she saw her family members. The singer and actress, who wore a subdued black dress and whose hair was wrapped in a bun, at first seemed composed as a prosecutor began asking her questions. But the testimony became increasingly difficult, and she began crying when talking about seeing her family the Sunday before the killings. During opening statements, prosecutor Veryl Gambino said Balfour began threatening to harm the family after moving out of Hudson's family home. Balfour's divorce from Julia Hudson was finalized last year. "Those were not idle threats. ... They were deadly warnings of what was to come," Gambino told the Cook County jury.

'Think Like a Man' halts the 'Hunger Games' train with $33 mil
It had to happen. After four weeks of dominance, The Hunger Games finally didn’t finish first at the box office. Instead, the relationship comedy Think Like a Man took the crown as it debuted to an impressive $33 million this weekend. Based on comedian Steve Harvey’s bestselling advice book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, the PG-13 film performed much better than expected. In second was the PG-13 romance The Lucky One with $22.8 million. That’s a return to form for star Zac Efron, as the movie performed more like 17 Again ($23.7 million) than Charlie St. Cloud ($12.4 million). Chimpanzee, Disney’s fourth annual Earth Day nature documentary, captured a solid $10.2 million — enough for fourth place.

Rich Ross Out At Walt Disney Studios

Walt Disney Studios Chairman Rich Ross is out after 30 months in the office. After the failure of two high-profile Mars projects - last year's "Mars Needs Moms" and the more recent $200 million write-off "John Carter" - it was expected heads would roll over at the Mouse House. That Ross got the chop isn't really a surprise, especially since marketing head MT Carney's departure at the start of the year. Ross, who turned Disney Channel into a global powerhouse, was promoted to the role in October 2009 after succeeding the widely liked and respected Dick Cook who had held the position for seven years. At the time many wondered how a TV executive would handle running a major movie studio - badly it would seem as he kicked out several experienced division heads and gutted much of the marketing and publicity divisions. While last year's "Alice in Wonderland" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" were big hits for the company last year, both were green lit under Cook's run. Ross famously was reluctant giving the green light on projects which has lead to an extremely anaemic upcoming schedule for the company aside from its animation division, Dreamworks titles, Marvel titles and the few tentpoles that have gone ahead like "The Lone Ranger," "Maleficent". No new name has been announced for the position thus far, though the likes of Stacey Snider, John Lasseter and Kevin Feige are currently being tossed about by speculators.

Fox is turning Glee‘s third trip to Nationals into an all-night event. the network is combining the show’s 20th and 21st installments into one, two-hour episode on Tuesday, May 15. But it’s the first of those two hours — which finds New Directions planning for the annual competition — that is likely to generate the most watercooler chatter.

 Dick Clark, the American Bandstand and New Year’s Rockin’ Eve host known for his perpetual youth, died Wednesday at age 82. Clark suffered a massive heart attack following a procedure  in Los Angeles. The former Philadelphia DJ started out on a local show called Bob Horn’s Bandstand, substituting for the titular host. He took over in 1956, beginning a career path that would make “America’s Oldest Teenager” a legend. In 1957, ABC picked the show up for a national run that kept the growing teen market entranced and cemented Clark’s status as a pop culture touchstone. He also presided over the game show The $10,000 Pyramid starting in 1973 — all the way up, through the years, to The $100,000 Pyramid from 1985-88. His production company was a force behind the American Music Awards, TV’s Bloopers & Practical Jokes, and NBC drama American Dreams, among other projects. In fact, he didn’t slow down until his stroke in 2004 — the only year since Rockin’ Eve began that he didn’t appear on the program. (Regis Philbin filled in that year.) He subsequently split on-screen duties with heir apparent Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest mourned the loss of his mentor. “I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend Dick Clark. He has truly been one of the greatest influences in my life. I idolized him from the start, and I was graced early on in my career with his generous advice and counsel,” he said in a statement. Clark’s impact on the country was even noted by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, who released a statement about the remarkable host.“With American Bandstand, he introduced decades’ worth of viewers to the music of our times.  He reshaped the television landscape forever as a creative and innovative producer.  And, of course, for 40 years, we welcomed him into our homes to ring in the New Year.  But more important than his groundbreaking achievements was the way he made us feel – as young and vibrant and optimistic as he was." Clark, twice divorced, had a son, Richard Augustus II, with first wife Barbara Mallery and two children, Duane and Cindy, with second wife Loretta Martin. He married Kari Wigton in 1977.

Summitt steps down as Tennessee coach

Pat Summitt is stepping aside as Tennessee's women's basketball coach and taking the title of ''head coach emeritus'' with long-time assistant Holly Warlick being promoted to replace the sport's winningest coach. Tennessee released a statement Wednesday announcing the move. The 59-year-old Summitt will report to the athletic director and help the women's program she guided to eight national titles. She says she supports Warlick, her assistant for 27 years and a three-time All-American playing for Summitt, as her replacement and wants to ensure the stability of the program. The move comes less than a year after her diagnosis with early onset dementia-Alzheimer's type. ''I've loved being the head coach at Tennessee for 38 years, but I recognize that the time has come to move into the future and to step into a new role,'' said Summitt. ''I want to help ensure the stability of the program going forward. I would like to emphasize that I fully intend to continue working as head coach emeritus, mentoring and teaching life skills to our players, and I will continue my active role as a spokesperson in the fight against Alzheimer's through the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund. Summitt revealed her diagnosis on Aug. 23 after a few months of coming to terms with dementia, which had caused her problems with memory loss both on and off the court during the previous season. Alzheimer's is a brain disease that destroys cognitive abilities over time.  With the blessing of University of Tennessee, Knoxville Chancellor Jimmy Cheek, the Hall of Fame coach said she planned to continue coaching as long as possible and that she wanted to show the world that it was still possible to function, even in the face of dementia and Alzheimer's. She had been going about business as usual. During her time, Tennessee never failed to reach the NCAA tournament, never received a seed lower than No. 5 and reached 18 Final Fours. Her impact reaches beyond wins and losses. Every Lady Vol player who has completed her eligibility at Tennessee has graduated, and 74 former players, assistants, graduate assistants, team managers and directors of basketball operations are currently among the coaching ranks at every level of basketball.


'Catching Fire' director gig down to Francis Lawrence, Bennett Miller
Multiple reports have surfaced on the web today that filmmakers Francis Lawrence and Bennett Miller are the final two contenders for the director of The Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire. The choice for the replacement of Hunger Games‘ Gary Ross — who bowed out of the Catching Fire gig last week, citing the tight production schedule — are pretty stark. Lawrence has extensive experience with visual effects-driven action sequences from his first two films, 2005′s supernatural thriller Constantine and 2007′s post-apocalyptic thriller I Am Legend — which shares a similarly bleak tone to Catching Fire. But his latest effort, the 2011 period drama Water for Elephants, fizzled at the box office, and landed mixed reviews for its handling of the star-crossed romance between Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon. Many complained that the weakest part of Hunger Games was the romance between Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence, no relation), and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), and the romantic angle is far more front-and-center for Catching Fire. Miller, by contrast, has practically no first-hand experience with CG-effects-heavy action scenes, and Catching Fire features more exotic locations that would likely call for extensive green-screen and effects work. Miller does, however, have an Academy Award nomination to his name for his debut feature, the 2005 biopic Capote, and last year’s Moneyball won Miller wide acclaim. He could bring an actor-friendly pedigree to the franchise, and it would certainly be a high-profile boost to his career trajectory. Lionsgate reportedly may have their decision made by the end of this week. A rep for the studio declined to comment.


No More @Mrskutcher?

After slowly warming up to her old friend, Twitter, over the past few days, Demi Moore is apparently ready to shed the digital vestiges of a rocky 2011. "Time for a change, twitter name change... any suggestions?," she tweeted late Tuesday under her old handle, @MrsKutcher. She later thanked her followers for their suggestions and asked that they "keep them coming." Moore, who recently completed a stint in a treatment center following reports of substance abuse and eating disorder issues, split from Ashton Kutcher last fall. Looking healthier than she has in months, she made her first formal public appearance Tuesday with her friend, Amanda de Cadenet, at a launch party for the new show she's executive producing, "The Conversation."

New 'Desperate Housewives' trial set for Sept. 10

Former "Desperate Housewives" star Nicollette Sheridan's $5 million wrongful termination suit against Touchstone Television has a new trial date: Sept. 10. L.A. Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Allen White set the date at a hearing Wednesday morning. She initially set June 4 as the date for the new trial, but Touchstone's attorneys said that was too soon. White also rejected Sheridan's claim of sanctions against the defense and denied Touchstone's request for a directed verdict for dismissal. White strongly urged the two sides to come to a settlement, and warned Touchstone's attorneys that "an 8-4 verdict is nothing to be overly confident about in terms of the case." She was referring to the original trial last month, at which White was forced to declare a mistrial, after the jury deadlocked 8-to-4 in Sheridan's favor after three days of deliberation.

Looks like Atlanta is down one Housewife: Sheree Whitfield says she's leaving the popular Bravo show because she's tired of all the drama. "After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave," the Real Housewives of Atlanta castmember says. Continues the reality star: "I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck." Whitfield, an original member of the cast, was a vocal combatant on the show, often getting into loud altercations with castmates such as NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak, whose wig she pulled in a dramatic season 2 fight. And in one memorable season 2 scene, she almost came to blows during a heated confrontation with a party planner. During season 4 of the show, which recently wrapped, she was locked in a battle for child support with her ex-husband, former NFL player Bob Whitfield. On Wednesday afternoon, Bravo confirmed the news of her departure, saying in a statement, "We have enjoyed working with Sheree as part of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. We wish her all the best in the future."

Gun in Pic with Pippa Middleton Was Fake
Pippa Middleton made headlines Monday, and this time the paparazzi shots were not so flattering. Middleton, 28, the younger sister of Prince William's wife Kate, was in Paris for French aristocrat Arthur de Soultrait's party when she was photographed smiling in the passenger seat of an Audi convertible as the driver of the car aimed a handgun directly at the photographer. But the gun in question, it turns out, is a toy. Aymeric de Drouas, spokesman for a French clothing company owned by Soultrait, said the gun in a photo published by British newspaper The Sun was a toy being used in "a game" with paparazzi, who'd been trailing them throughout Middleton's visit. Paris police say they are not investigating and have no complaint.

Howard Stern fails to win $300 million in Sirius lawsuit
Howard Stern’s hopes for a $300 million payday from Sirius XM Radio Inc. have been dashed by a judge. His show’s Twitter feed said the shock jock was “really bummed” by the decision and plans to appeal. Stern sued last March, arguing that he was entitled to a huge stock-based bonus in his contract because the number of Sirius subscribers exceeded the company’s internal forecasts. But his initial job contract was signed in October 2004, well before Sirius acquired XM in July 2008. New York state court judge Barbara Kapnick ruled Monday that Stern couldn’t count XM’s nearly 10 million subscribers in calculating his bonus, saying that the language of his contract was clear and unambiguous. Kapnick dismissed Stern’s lawsuit “with prejudice,” which means he can’t bring another case based on the same set of facts. The court found the agreement unambiguous and that we had complied with all our obligations,” it said. Stern had already received a $75 million stock bonus for exceeding the 2006 subscriber estimate by more than 2 million subscribers. He was also paid $25 million when Sirius combined with XM, in order to enable Stern’s show to be broadcast to XM listeners as well. Sirius XM’s stock rose 7 cents, or 3.2 percent, to close Tuesday at $2.24. In December 2010, Stern signed a new 5-year contract, keeping him at Sirius XM through 2015.

Robin Gibb in a Coma
Bee Gees tenor Robin Gibb is in a coma after contracting pneumonia. The 62-year-old singer's wife Dwina, brother Barry, 65, daughter Melissa, 37, and sons Spencer, 39, and Robin-John, 29, have remained at his bedside in a private hospital in Chelsea, West London. Earlier this week, due to his ailing health, Robin was forced to cancel an appearance at the premiere of Titanic Requiem, his new classical work to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ship's sinking. In 2010, Robin had emergency surgery for a blocked bowel and then had an additional operation for a twisted bowel. In January 2012, Gibb opened up about his health struggles, telling The Daily Mail: "For more than 18 months, I had lived with an inflammation of the colon; then I was diagnosed with colon cancer, which spread to the liver. I have undergone chemotherapy, however, and the results -- to quote my doctor -- have been 'spectacular.' It's taken a toll, naturally, but the strange thing is that I've never felt seriously ill. I've mostly felt great." Robin's twin brother, Maurice, died in 2003 at the age of 53 due to complications from a twisted intestine. His younger brother, Andy, died in 1988 at age 30 of a heart ailment. The Bee Gees' soundtrack to the film Saturday Night Fever was one of the best-selling albums of the 1970s. They have won seven Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

The latest diagnosis comes about three years after he lost his longtime love Farrah Fawcett, who died at age 62 of anal cancer.

Jada Pinkett Smith Speaks Out Against 'Ridiculous' Rumors of Marital Trouble

Why us? That's what Jada Pinkett Smith has been wondering, after she and husband Will Smith became the latest star couple to be the subject to rumors of marital strife. Asked why the speculation won't go away, she tells French magazine Gala: "I have no idea! Every year, one celebrity couple is under the microscope. This year, unluckily, it's us! I almost want to say that we should have been expecting it." She adds: "Will and I know the truth. We're waiting peacefully for the storm to blow over." Jada, 40, acknowledges that she and Will, 43, spend lots of time apart. But it's always been that way, she adds. "These rumors are completely untrue," she says. "I travel a lot because of my work, just like Will does. ... But our lifestyle hasn't changed. Before we had the kids, we were already far away from each other quite often because of separate projects." Asked about the rumor that they no longer live under the same roof, she replies: "That's ridiculous. We've always lived together." Things aren't about to slow down, either. Will is currently filming the M. Night Shyamalan movie After Earth with Jaden, 13. And this summer, Jada will be hitting the road with Willow, 11, who is going on tour as a singer.

Britney Spears reaches $15M 'X Factor' agreement

Britney Spears has reached an agreement to serve as a judge on Simon Cowell's "The X Factor" -- and the payday is really something to sing about. The "Womanizer" singer will collect $15 million overall for the gig: approximately $13 million to judge music-industry aspirants alongside Cowell and record executive L.A. Reid, and the rest as a bonus for performing on the show. The deal has been agreed upon but has not yet been signed. Spears is still under a conservatorship following her mid-2000s breakdown, with her father, Jamie Spears, serving as her guardian.

Axl Rose: I'm not coming, so don't induct me

No surprise: Axl Rose isn't going to show up for a Guns N' Roses show. Big surprise: This time, he notified everyone in advance. Speculation has been rampant among fans whether Rose would show for Saturday's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland -- and was even more feverish about whether he'd deign to perform with his new bandmates, his old bandmates or both. The answer: Neither. Rose released an "open letter" Wednesday in which he not only declined to attend, he asked that his name be withdrawn and not inducted, even though he's the only one out there touring under the Guns N' Roses moniker anymore. Green Day is scheduled to induct the band - Rose included anyhow - in Saturday's ceremony.
