Chris Brown and Drake: Suing Each Other Over NYC Nightclub Brawl!

Chris Brown and Drake are involved in another brawl … this time legally. They’re suing one another over their nightclub fight last year, when the music stars and their posses got into an all-out MELEE at W.i.P. nightclub in NYC. How does that work, exactly? Well, a French model named Romain Julien is filing suit against Brown, Drake and the club for injuries he says he sustained. In response, both Drake and Chris Brown have filed legal documents basically denying blame for what happened and pointing the guilty finger at the other. No one knows exactly what happened in the Chris Brown-Drake fight , but they each claim they were not to blame for it and say they should not pay damages. Each is asking a judge to formally pin blame on the other guy. Chris and Drake have both been linked to Rihanna, and it is widely believed she played an indirect role in the bottle-throwing insanity that broke out. In addition to tables and broken glass, rumors have been flying about what started it, but it’s hard to say for sure when neither has spoken out about it. This is the first time they’ve gone after each other in court. Interestingly, NBA star Tony Parker is also suing W.i.P. for the eye injury he sustained in the fight, claiming the club was negligent by letting that thug inside . Parker says Brown’s history of violence with Rihanna , Frank Ocean and a Good Morning America window prove W.i.P. should have known better.

Nadya Suleman Decries Death Threats, Vandalism

Nadya Suleman is opening up about the recent death threats and violence – some moron smashing her car window – she’s encountered since going on welfare. Nadya talked to E! News about the other night, when she started hearing some unusual noises outside of her home, but decided not call the police. “I was jet-lagged and tired,” Octomom says. “But I felt something was wrong. I was pretty scared, so I checked on the kids, checked the front of the house.” “Morning came and neighbors came while I was cooking. They said, ‘Your car window is all smashed .’ It dawned on me that was what I had heard.” “I’m blessed with those neighbors who told me. They look out for us.” When she went to investigate the damage, she didn’t even notice a strange note at first: “I didn’t notice any paper until my daughter found it,” she says. Nadya guesses that someone smashed the window and threw the paper, containing a threatening message, inside, as part of a “never-ending cycle.” Surprisingly, Octomom didn’t want to file a police report because she hoped to maintain her privacy, something she’s never held dear in the past. “I can’t stand the media attention and wanted to make everything private,” Nadya insists. “My manager told me to report it. My dad reported it.” Suleman doesn’t know who is responsible for the vandalism or rash of recent death threats and won’t “make assumptions” or “blame any group.” She adds that, “It wasn’t just hate mail, it was a death threat.” The mother of 14 notes that where she currently lives is a “nightmare” and there is “bad energy everywhere” since news that she went on welfare . Even though Suleman is under the public eye, she insists, “I’m no one special. Everyone has their own special story and survival and strength.” “I don’t need this. I’m transparent and I have nothing to hide. I’m not ashamed of anything. Not with my children, no shame. At the end of the day, if you know who you are and you answer to God you’re a good person, that’s all the matters.” While ashamed of having to go on public assistance, Nadya says she mostly feels bad for the people who have so much negativity in their souls. “I can complain … who wouldn’t. At this point, I am done. I am done with the complaining. I feel sorry for them,” Suleman says of those who hate her. “If I reciprocate hate, I’m feeding them power. I need to give that to my children. I am teaching my children to give power to yourself and God.” “I just learned to 100% train myself to be totally indifferent. If I get caught up in their misery, I go down to their misery and I go down to their level.” As for the vandal, Suleman says, “If I met the person who did this and I talked to them for a minute or two, they’d realize I’m human and I have feelings.”

Leah Messer: Fed Up With Critics

Getting pregnant and married as a teenager certainly has its challenges, and Teen Mom 2’s Leah Messer is apparently fed up with some of her critics. Leah has received backlash for getting knocked up, getting married, getting divorced and now getting married again. She even got jumped recently. “People are ignorant,” the newly-hitched 19-year-old tweeted recently, lashing out and explaining why she no longer looks at her mentions on Twitter. Leah Messer married Jeremy Calvert last week at the Catlettsburg Wedding Chapel in Ashland, Kentucky. It’s the second marriage for the youngster. She has twin daughters, Aleeah and Aliannah, with Corey Simms. Not everyone is thrilled for Leah, however and some fans have chastised the reality star not just for her actions, but for not responding to messages. She’s had just about enough in any case. “So many immature and inconsiderate people out yhrtr. If you’re one of those please #growup,” she tweeted from her @TM2LeahDawn account. Leah has more than 450,000 Twitter fans, some of whom presumably don’t hate her, so there might be some supporters in there too. Just saying.

James Franco Sings "Love You Like a Love Song" to Selena Gomez

From the set of Spring Breakers comes this viral video of James Franco, looking like Kevin Federline pre-obesity and lip-syncing to “Love You Like a Love Song.” The actor was captured serenading the pop singer, his co-star in the upcoming film, while she shot a scene in the back seat of the car. Not distracting at all. Not the highest quality video of all time, but if nothing else, it’s James Franco, in cornrows, rocking out to Selena Gomez. That’s hilarious enough: James Franco – Love You Like A Love Song

Melissa Etheridge to Tammy Lynn Michaels: You Put a Cigarette Out on Our KID!

Melissa Etheridge has filed legal documents claiming that her former domestic partner, Tammy Lynn Michaels, is responsible for all sorts of bad stuff. Namely accidentally burning one of their kids with a cigarette. In her EPIC dispute with Tammy, who is seeking a substantial bump in support from the $23,000 per month she gets now, wants the judge to order both her and Tammy to go smoke-free around their twins to prevent future burns. Melissa also claims Tammy has accused her of having no maternal instinct and therefore is against striking a 50/50 joint custody deal for their twins. Melissa says Tammy is adamant … she did not give birth to the children just to give them away. Melissa calls Tammy an “angry and vindictive” person. How angry and vindictive are we talking about here? Making matters worse, if that’s even possible, Etheridge says Michaels once sent her an email saying: “You have to support so many households because YOU BROKE SO MANY HOUSEHOLDS … If you had decided to have one ounce of integrity/honesty as a person or partner, you would NOT be in this predicament. Think about it.” “They aren’t leaving my care while you are on the road – a completely inappropriate place for 3-year-olds – not to mention you can’t track them, have no child care, and they were bit by dogs in the house last time you had them.” Again, there are bad celebrity breakups , and there is this.

Michael Jackson Estate Rakes In $310 Million To Date

Singer left behind more than $400 million in debt. Michael Jackson Photo: Time Life Pictures/DMI/Time Life Pictures/Getty Im Between album sales, movie profits, licensing arrangements and lucrative deals for Cirque du Soleil shows, the estate of late King of Pop Michael Jackson has raked in more than $300 million since the singer’s shocking death in June 2009. According to TMZ , legal documents released on Thursday reveal that executors of MJ’s estate have managed to make a major dent in the more than $400 million in debt that Jackson owed at the time of his death. The first accounting from the executors shows that they have already spent around $159 million paying back various debts, income taxes and other expenses, which include providing support for the pop star’s mother, Katherine Jackson, as well as his three young children. “Although there remain unresolved creditor claims, pending litigation and additional challenging business, tax and legal issues, and the estate is not yet in a condition to be closed, the executors have made substantial progress in reducing the estate’s debt,” the documents state, according to a Reuters report. Two of Jackson’s longtime confidants, attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain, were named as administrators in a will sign by the pop icon. In addition to paying to make “substantial improvements” to the Jackson family’s Havenhurst estate in Encino, California, the executors also spent an undetermined amount of money on “last illness and funeral and memorial service expenses.” Those costs included a $900,000 payment to the Forest Lawn Memorial cemetery where Jackson is buried and $35,000 on expenses described as “costume for memorial.” TMZ reported that not only did the famously cash-strapped Jackson have more than $400 million in debut, but his estate also owed more than $40 million to concert promoter AEG tied to the scuttled This Is It Tour, for which MJ was rehearsing when he died unexpectedly. They’ve also paid $27.2 million in taxes and $4 million in mortgage payments on Jackson’s properties. Despite the solid sales of the Michael album and millions of units of the singer’s back catalog being sold, as well as the box office of the “This Is It” movie and DVD sales, the estate is not nearly out of the woods. TMZ noted that the administrators have received more than 65 creditors’ claims, some of which are subject to “extremely high” interest rates, and there are several outstanding lawsuits against the estate in several countries.

I’m Da Pappy! Halle’s Baby Daddy Files Court To Establish Paternity Of Nahla

Halle Berry’s ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry has filed legal documents asking a judge to officially declare him the daddy of 2-year-old Nahla. TMZ has learned Gabriel Aubry filed a paternity petition on December 30, 2010. Sources say Gabriel was afraid things were going to get rocky in establishing who gets to spend time with the 2-year-old, so he wanted to protect his rights. Turns out … we’re told whatever differences Halle and Gabriel have … they’ve been pretty much worked out. Sources say the former couple has not filed for child custody, visitation or support and they don’t plan to file — they have an arrangement they worked out between the two of them and don’t feel the need to go to court. Fellas take note. The best way to secure your rights as a father is to be proactive. Establish paternity and work out the details instead of waiting for someone to tell you what your rights are. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Source
