In Case Someone Cares (Page 27)

Nicole Kidman told a courtroom Monday how she was reduced to tears and feared a car accident after a celebrity photographer pursued her two years ago. Kidman, who divides her time between Los Angeles and her hometown of Sydney, Australia, was testifying in the photographer's defamation suit against a Sydney newspaper that slammed him for allegedly hounding the Oscar-winning actress.

Kidman described hunkering down in the car's back seat - leaning over in her chair in the witness stand to demonstrate - to try to avoid being spotted by photographer Jamie Fawcett. She said the trip quickly turned into a hair-raising chase as a vehicle carrying Fawcett and another vehicle, believed to contain his assistant, lurched through traffic around Kidman's car."I was frightened and I was worried there was going to be an accident," Kidman said. Kidman said she was "really, really scared" during the car ride and that she was "in tears and distressed" by the time she reached her parents' house. "I employ people to protect me now. I employ people 24 hours to protect myself because I don't feel equipped to handle things," she said.

I can't really comment much on this story except say if I saw someone as pasty as her driving down the road, I'd chase the ho for a pic too! That's like getting the Abominable Snowman on video!

Rhys Meyers, 30, was refused permission to board a London-bound flight when police confronted the actor twice after erratic, abusive behavior at an airport gate and at a desk of the British airline BMI, the Associated Press reports.

Dublin Airport Police said they called Ireland's national police force, the Garda Siochana, after Rhys Meyers refused repeated requests to calm down, reports the AP.

The Cork-born actor and star of Showtime's The Tudors was held for a short time, charged under Ireland's Public Order Act and released on his own bail. He is due in court for his arraignment Dec. 5.

In most of the pictures I see of him he looks more like a crackhead, than a drunk. It's all in those freakish eyes!

Joe Jonas from the Jonas Brothers took a tumble during their performance at the American Music Awards last night. He seemed to recover pretty well! Maybe he's used to being on his knees. ;) Either way, I think it's funny.

Hayden Panettiere has a warrant out for her arrest for trying to be a Flipper saving 'Hero' in Japan. The warrant comes after Hayden, along with other activists, paddled out and attempted to block a pod of dolphins from a group of Japanese fishermen last month.

I learned that they have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan," the Heroes star told E! News exclusively Wednesday. "We just found out." When asked what the arrest warrant could mean, Panettiere replied, "Potentially jail, but I doubt it."And the actress isn't letting a little thing like a warrant keep her from her cause. "I'd do it again," she said. "Very possibly, might do it again."

"We must unite as a world to solve our increasing international environmental crises.We can no longer hide behind outdated, senseless cultural traditions and lazy, bad habits that are resulting in the annihilation of our planet's resources and the extinction of our species."

Nicole and Joel actually came up with a good idea!

Instead of guests bringing them gifts, the soon-to-be mom, 26, and the Good Charlotte rocker, 28, are asking pals to give cribs, strollers and stuffed animals to the new Richie Madden Children's Foundation, which supports mothers in need.Next month, their charity will also donate 100 Mom-to-Be kits to the Los Angeles Free Clinic!

Even professional hairstylists won't touch Brandon Davis' hair. When "Greasy Bear" paid a visit late Saturday to the Frederic Fekkai Salon for a trim, stylists were so appalled by his oily grunginess they donned rubber gloves.

"Even the shampoo person wore gloves," said a source. "He [Davis] was really out of it, sweating profusely. His eyes were half shut and he was asking for carrot juice, even after they told him they only had orange juice."

It was a cold night in London on Sunday, and Angelina Jolie should know.

The stunner strutted the red carpet for the U.K. premiere of her latest film, the computer animated Beowulf, in an outfit that included skin-tight black leather pants. In fact, maybe they were too tight.

As Jolie, 32, headed toward the theater in Leicester Square, it became clear that her slacks were splitting down the back. Luckily, her partner Brad Pitt was there to lend a hand â€" literally â€" as he shielded the gap with his palm.

To make matters worse, Jolie also stepped in gum at the premiere, and a sizable wad stubbornly stuck to one of her sky-high Christian Louboutin heels.

The Oscar-winner hardly seemed to notice her wardrobe woes, however â€" graciously signing autographs for fans and making the red-carpet interview rounds.

* It's funny how this "article" is written. People magazine isn't just kissing Angelina's ass, they're tossing her salad just because she gives them exclusives. Can ya be more subtle? I've read enough Angelina Christ stories from People.

Christina had a baby shower at her Beverly Hills crib on Saturday. The theme was blue.

Among the presents bought from baby boutique Bel Bambini, where the singer set up her registry last month, were a blue Loved Mom Guitar shirt, a Cariboo bassinet with blue dot bedding, Trumpette Johnny's socks â€" and Sozo Whiz Kid wee block, meant for use when changing a baby boy's diapers.

Aguilera, 26, formally confirmed her pregnancy to Glamour magazine earlier this month, saying she will "enter into mommyhood" next year.

Boys tend to look like their moms, and girls tend to look like their dads, so let's hope the baby can say, "I got it from my Mama!" No Jordan look alike please.

I'm so glad Christina finally said she's pregnant. I hope all the secrecy was just as fun as she thought it would be. Can't wait for her to pop! :)

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden recently made an offer on a home in a gated Southern California community only to be denied by their potential neighbors.

When the mom-to-be heard that she and fiance Madden were denied by residents who were conerned about photographers hovering near their homes, "Nicole was livid because she loved the house," the source says. "She thinks it's a BS reason, but she couldn't fight it."

It IS a total bullshit reason! If it's gated, what's the big deal? The pappos can't get past the gate can they? Hmmmm, brains do come into play here somewhere.
