Kate Gosselin has filed a lawsuit accusing her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin, of stealing her hard drive and hacking into her phone and computer … seriously. File this one in the overflowing folder of Kate Gosselin mistakes . The federal lawsuit alleges that Jon Gosselin stole the material for a book authored by Robert Hoffman, Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World . How did she fool the world, exactly? We never got to find out. Kate first accused Jon and tabloid writer Hoffman of stealing her hard drive for the book last October, and in turn got the thing pulled from Amazon. Hoffman claimed he found it in a dumpster … seriously. Because Kate argued the material in it was obtained illegally, she sought and was granted a court order blocking it from publication late last year. Now she’s suing. It’s not clear why the issue of Hoffman’s e-book resurfaced now, but she is clearly not happy about it and not about to let it go. Recently, Kate has claimed to have made mistakes in her marriage, and that she is on better terms with Jon these days, though the two are not close. This likely won’t help matters. The couple starred in the TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8 , detailing life with their twins and sextuplets, before they separated in 2009 and later divorced. Allegations of Jon cheating on Kate were the first indication of trouble in paradise, and what followed was one of the uglier celebrity splits on record. She lives in Sinking Spring, Pa., with their eight children, while he lives in Wyomissing, Pa. Both towns are in Berks County, outside Philadelphia.

A young woman named Monica Amestoy has filed a lawsuit against United Airlines in which she alleges that a male passenger was permitted to masturbate right in front of her on a flight last year. The incident took place when the now-18-year old was flying back to Los Angeles from a high school debate in New York. During a press conference last night, Amestoy explained that the guy was sitting across from her when he pulled out his unit and that flight attendants – alerted to the self-pleasuring situation – did nothing to stop it. The unidentified passenger has been arrested and convicted of the crime, and has also since been registered as a sex offender. But Amestoy (who is represented by Gloria Allred ) is seeking unspecified damages for negligence, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

If there is any disappointment or bitterness that The Master was set to receive the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival today, only for the top prize there to be “re-assigned” due to a rule limiting the number of awards one title can receive, then director Paul Thomas Anderson did not show it this afternoon at the Toronto International Film Festival where the film is having its North American premiere. Anderson along with actress Amy Adams and producer JoAnne Sellar spoke with reporters at the festival along with TIFF co-director Cameron Bailey. “It was amazing what happened in Venice. Philip [Seymour Hoffman] was able to go over there because Joaquin [Phoenix] and I have duties over here at this festival,” said Anderson. “And, it was amazing what they gave us. The best part was that they gave [awards] to both of the boys.” Anderson acknowledged that he was aware of the apparent controversy, but said he was satisfied with the prizes The Master received at the Italian festival. “I’m thrilled with whatever they want to hand over. I heard some of the scuttlebutt recently but I’m just thrilled with what they hand over. And that’s all.” Along with the Best Actor prize being split by Hoffman and Phoenix, Paul Thomas Anderson was awarded Venice’s Silver Lion for Best Director, while Korean director Kim-Ki Duk’s Pieta received the festival’s Golden Lion. Asked if he was disappointed he couldn’t be in Venice to pick up the awards personally, Anderson joked, “Through our studies on this film we’ve gotten to where we can do time travel. I’m actually at two places at once. I’m at the Pizza Hut and the Taco Bell.” Audiences in Venice and now Toronto are buzzing over The Master . Laura Dern also stars in the film along with Hoffman, Phoenix and Adams revolving around “drifters and seekers” in post World War II America. The film revolves around the journey of a Naval veteran (Joaquin Phoenix) who arrives home from war unsettled and uncertain of his future – until he is tantalized by “The Cause” and its charismatic leader (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Anderson appeared to be a bit surprised by the buzz the film is generating, but said he is pleased. “I don’t know why the film is resonating. I’m not sure what’s going on. We were proud to show it, but for people to be gravitating to it in such a way, it just feels so gratifying.” “It’s a film you really have to think about and it’s part of the time we’re living in,” added Sellar. “There aren’t a lot of films out there at the moment like that.” Amy Adams said her experience on the set were not quite what she had expected going in, saying she was surprised by the leeway that she and her fellow actors were given. “I thought it was going to be very very serious, but we actually laughed a lot and had a lot of fun,” said Adams. “There was a lot of freedom and we were allowed to experiment and fail. But going into it, I thought it would be very, very serious.” “Over the years, Paul has become a freer director [and] more organic,” added Sellar. “For me and Daniel [Lupi], my producing partner, we were able to support his vision and make changes and go on the fly.” And now that Venice’s awards are history, chatter in Toronto is now already looking toward Oscar and The Master is getting plenty of buzz. Asked about the Academy Award conversation among TIFF attendees this weekend, Anderson said simply, “Great.”

Paul Thomas Anderson ‘s The Master was set to receive the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter ‘s inside source, until a decision to allow only two major awards per film forced jury members to re-assign the top honor to another contender. When the awards were doled out earlier today by Venice jury president Michael Mann, the best picture prize went to Kim Ki-Duk’s ultraviolent mother-son flick Pieta while Best Director went to Anderson. (Full list of winners follows.) Per THR : “Apparently during the jury’s first deliberations, members decided to give The Master — a drama loosely based on the origins of Scientology — the top prize, as well as the Silver Lion directing award to Anderson and the acting award jointly to co-stars Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman.” UPDATED: Asked to redeliberate, the jury instead gave the Golden Lion to Pieta , leaving The Master with a joint Best Actor prize shared by stars Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman, along with the Silver Lion (Best Director) for Anderson. The Master had been hotly tipped for The Golden Lion, backed by a groundswell of critical praise ahead of its September 21 theatrical release.
