Randy Blythe Case: Lamb of God Members Speak on Singer’s Manslaughter Charge

Police in Prague, Czech Republic, arrested Randy Blythe June 28 and charged the Lamb of God frontman with manslaughter. As of Friday, he was still behind bars. The 41-year-old was involved in an incident with a fan at a 2010 concert in the city. After a fan jumped onto the stage from the crowd, Blythe is accused of pushing him back into the audience, inflicting head injuries from which he later died. In an email Friday, Lamb of God spoke publicly about the case for the first time. Lamb of God thanked fans for their support “of Randy and each of us in this terrible situation” and insisted that they “aren’t trying to keep anyone in the dark.” “We have been keeping our heads down and not speaking out due to the fluid nature of the situation and the constantly changing information,” they said. “Within an hour things can do endless 180’s. It’s maddening. In the two years [since], we were never notified of anything related to this incident.” “Randy is our brother and we assure you, we are all staying very positive, working endlessly behind the scenes to provide any and all assistance possible.” “The best we can do is to stay positive and continue to support our friend we know is innocent. We know justice will prevail and we will continue to do our part.” [Photo: WENN.com]

Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes Divorce Settlement Talks Underway

Lawyers for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are working to hash out a settlement in their divorce case in hopes of avoiding a protracted, public battle. Quite the contrast from Kris Humphries, who’s been fighting Kim Kardashian tooth and nail almost a year later … and getting Myla Sinanaj pregnant . Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Lawyers on both sides are in talks to negotiate a prompt, amicable and private Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes divorce . “Neither one of them wants this to be hashed out in public,” says a source. Holmes’s visit comes after Cruise attorney Bert Fields spoke to the BBC about his plan to let the other side play the media before filing a response. “Tactically we can’t say where Tom will file a divorce case and if he’ll be seeking joint custody of [six-year-old daughter Suri Cruise],” said Fields. Sources say the lawyers are negotiating child custody, visitation, child support and a property settlement between the couple, which has a prenup. The whole settlement could be ratified in New York if all goes well, preempting a rumored move by Tom’s camp to transfer the case to California. Here’s hoping they get it done for their own good, and their daughter’s. [Photo: WENN.com]

Tom Cruise to File For Divorce After Katie Holmes "Plays the Media," Lawyer Claims

Tom Cruise has remained conspicuously silent throughout the pandemonium surrounding his impending divorce from Katie Holmes, who filed last week. According to reports, that is 100 percent by design. The star’s lawyer, Bert Fields, says Tom is planning to file as well, but has opted to let his estranged ex “play the media” before making any legal move. “Tactically we can’t say where Tom will file for divorce and if he’ll be seeking joint custody of Suri,” Fields said, adding, “We are letting ‘the other side’ play the media until they wear everyone out and then we’ll have something to say.” Although it appears a contentious battle over custody for 6-year-old Suri looms ahead, Fields reiterated that Tom is disheartened by the turn of events. “It’s not Tom’s style to do this publicly,” Fields said, alluding to the Scientology rumors from Katie sources and Tom’s reported attempts at reconciliation . “He is really, really sad about what’s happening.” Holmes, 33, filed for divorce June 28 in New York City and is seeking sole custody of Suri . Speculation has been mounting that Cruise is planning to file a counter divorce case in California and seek joint custody, but as of yet, he has not. The opening salvo comes July 17, when Holmes’ camp is set to appear in front of a family court judge in NYC, presumably to request a speedy temporary order granting her sole custody before Cruise’s legal team has a chance to respond.

Katie Holmes Elle Cover Story: Signs of Tom Cruise Split?

Katie Holmes covers the new issue of Elle, and you can’t help but read into some of her quotes knowing she was about to file for divorce from Tom Cruise . Perhaps most notably: “I definitely feel much more comfortable in my own skin,” the actress, 33, says of having progressed in her 30s. “I feel sexier.” She goes on, “I think in my twenties – it’s like you’re trying too hard to figure everything out … I’m starting to come into my own. It’s like a new phase.” On the subject of being Mrs. Tom Cruise, which she apparently had enough of just weeks after giving this interview, she also hints at the breakup. “He has been Tom Cruise for 30 years,” she says. “I know who I am and where I am and where I want to go, so I want to focus on that.” As for his impact on her own career: “Things are not handed to anyone. If anything, you work a little bit harder when you’re in such visible circumstances.” Who knows if it means anything, but the NY Post says Katie did not enjoy speaking about Tom, who allegedly begged for reconciliation and is very bitter at her . “Katie didn’t speak about Tom in a lovey-dovey way at all” in the interview. “She deflected the Tom questions and brought them around to herself.” Reading between the lines or just coincidence? You be the judge.

Tom Cruise "Begged" Katie Holmes For Reconciliation, Was Rebuffed, Report Claims

It’s safe to assume Tom Cruise’s 50th birthday was not what he’d hoped for. According to Us’ cover story (below), he traveled from Iceland, where he’s been shooting the new film Oblivion , to the United States early July 3. If things had gone according to plan for Cruise, he’d have celebrated hitting the half-century mark in Iceland with wife Katie Holmes by his side. But since Katie filed for divorce out of nowhere last week, he was forced to make a last-ditch effort to save the relationship, only to be rebuffed. While Holmes, 33, was MIA from Rock of Ages premieres and other events, “he begged her to come to Iceland for one last try at reconciliation,” the insider says. Holmes, motivated by fears of Scientology corrupting their daughter Suri, had been secretly plotting to file for divorce and move into her own NYC apartment. She refused to go, and the pair had a “huge fight,” the source explains. Although Cruise was aware that things were tense and severely estranged with Holmes, “he was confident he could talk her out of it and keep her with him.” Holmes seeks sole legal custody of Suri, 6, and clearly filed in N.Y. State as a means of achieving that goal, as its courts are more likely to award sole custody. There’s a prenup in place, but regarding custody, it looks like a nasty split is on the horizon. Here’s hoping they can work it out quietly and under the radar. In other Cruise news, you can see him in the new Jack Reacher trailer .

In Good A$$ Prenup News: Katie Holmes Will Be Leaving With Little To Nothing In Divorce Settlement With Tom Cruise!

Zip. Zero. Stingy with dinero… Katie Holmes Will Be Awarded Nothing In Divorce Settlement With Tom Cruise According to TMZ Reports : Katie Holmes will be getting virtually nothing from Tom Cruise by way of $$$$ because their prenup cuts her out of his fortune … and sources connected with Katie tell us it’s just fine with her. We’ve learned the prenup Katie signed is long, tight and stacked in Tom’s favor. We’re told reports that she’ll walk away with $15-20 million are absurd. Our sources say Katie will walk away with what she brought into the marriage … and hardly anything else. Our Katie sources tell us, “She’s not about the money. She’s not that girl. She loves to work.” We’re told there’s one thing Katie is insistent on — she wants child support from Tom, and that could turn into a big ticket item. As for whether Katie will challenge the prenup … it’s pretty common when a divorcing couple is in conflict, and our Katie sources are not ruling that out. But they insist, “Money is not that important to her. She makes plenty on her own.” One final point … a well-placed source connected with the couple tells us, the prenup that basically gives Katie bupkis is proof the marriage is not a sham — she didn’t tie the knot for the loot. We want pre-nup, we want pre-nup, yeeaaaaaaah! Image via WENN
