Halle Berry's Nanny Loses Restraining Order Against Gabriel Aubry

2012-01-25T01:52:00.001-08:00

Despite allegedly being pushed out of a door by Halle Berry’s ex, Gabriel Aubry, Alliance Kamdem has had her request for a restraining order denied.

Not to get technical, but if she’s being pushed out of a door, does she really need that restraining order anyway?

At any rate, Aubry has a three year-old daughter with Berry, Nahla, and the child’s nanny tried to file a restraining order stemming from an incident last week, but the judge called her petition “insufficient and speculative.”

Kamdem claims that after going to Nahla’s school and being she was absent, she went to Aubry’s home and asked why he didn’t take her. Aubry then pushed her out the door violently while she was carrying the child.

And that’s not the only claim she’s making. Kamdem also says that during a recent trip to Spain, where Halle was shooting a movie, Gabriel “would walk over and violently grab/take Nahla away from me.”

She says that Aubry barked at her: “You are a spy.”

And also: “Nahla doesn’t like you, she doesn’t want you here.”

If anything, these claims prove one thing: one of these two people is absolutely insane.

The judge told Kamdem the issues should be resolved in family court. Despite Kamdem’s denial of a restraining order, Gabriel is currently being investigated for child endangerment and battery.

Kamdem also filed a police report after the alleged incident, claiming that Gabriel injured her. She then quit her nanny position.

Brad Pitt and Other Celebrities React to Oscar Nominations

2012-01-25T01:42:00.000-08:00

There are few things worth getting up at the crack of dawn for. Hearing your name during the Academy Award nominations is definitely one of those things.

This was an exciting morning for a handful of Hollywood A-listers. From Brad Pitt to Viola Davis to Jonah Hill, lots of stars had a damn good reason to break open a bottle of champagne before noon today. Here’s what our favorite Oscar-nominated stars had to say about their accomplishment:

Brad Pitt: "It's gonna be pancakes for everyone this morning!" the actor said when he phoned in to the Today show Tuesday morning.

Jonah Hill: Jonah Hill Tweeted about his very first Oscar nom:

“Wow. Pretty incredible day so far.”

He then released a wordier statement: “I am so humbled, appreciative and in shock about this incredible honor. I'd like to thank the Academy, Sony Pictures, the cast and crew of 'Moneyball,' Brad Pitt, and, most of all, our brilliant director Bennett Miller."

Martin Scorsese: Scorsese finally won an Oscar for Best Director in 2007. And maybe, just maybe, he’ll nab another one for Hugo.

"I am deeply honored to have been nominated by the Academy for my work on 'Hugo.'” Scorsese said. “Every picture is a challenge, and this one – where I was working with 3-D, HD and Sacha Baron Cohen for the first time -- was no exception.”

Michelle Williams: “This role has been the challenge and privilege of a lifetime. I would like to think that the recognition our film has received by the Academy is a testament to Marilyn's legacy,” Williams said regarding her My Week With Marilyn nomination.

Viola Davis: Though she was nominated for The Help, there’s another movie Davis praised:

“I'm also incredibly happy that 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' was nominated for best picture. It was the last film called and I was just thrilled, I really was.”

Meryl Streep: Meryl Streep now has a whopping 17 Academy Award nominations, making her the most-nominated actor of all time. And she remains ever-humble:

"I am honored to be in company with such beautiful artists and touched deeply by my fellow actors for their generosity in giving me this acknowledgment."

Octavia Spencer: Octavia might have been nursing a hangover when she found out about her Best Supporting Actress nomination.

"A lot of us actually went to dinner last night and slept over and wanted to be together when we found out, so in case we didn't get that call we wanted to be nice and hungover."

Hollyscoop asked Octavia earlier this year how she felt about her Oscar buzz. Spencer told us: “I’m nominated for a lot of things. I don’t know if I’m going to get a lot of things, but it’s great to be in the conversation.”

Melissa McCarthy: I Hope I'm Not 'Jackassy' When I Meet Glenn Close

Melissa McCarthy is in the Oscar game, and that means she’ll be hobnobbing with red carpet veterans and Academy A-listers. Let’s hope she doesn’t channel her Bridesmaids character.

McCarthy admits there’s one celebrity she’s nervous about meeting.

“I hope I can figure out something else to say to Glenn Close other than 'Holy sh-t you're Glenn Close,' " McCarthy told PEOPLE after getting the news of her Oscar nod Tuesday morning. “I just think she makes beautiful, smart, perfect decisions in her characters and roles she plays. She looms very large to me.”

Melissa says she was flustered when she first met Close at the Golden Globes.

“If I got to re-meet her, I hope I say something that’s not as jackassy.”

Maybe start with: ‘Nice to meet you' ?

Melissa’s Bridesmaids costar and writer, Kristen Wiig, also earned a nomination, for Original Screenplay Writing.

"Kristen and [Bridesmaids co-writer] Annie [Mumolo] being nominated to me is such a big deal because ... I know people talk about how much improv we did on Bridesmaids ... [but] the bottom line is Kristin and Annie wrote an amazing script. It was the funniest thing I've ever read on paper."

Another Oscar connection Melissa has is her good friend Octavia Spencer, who earned a nomination for The Help.

“We've all been [friends] for 13 [or] 14 years," she said. "These are people at my wedding. These are my really close, dear friends. ... We are all having this otherworldly year together."

Former Miss USA, and current DUI defendant, Rima Fakih is picking up some crisis management tips from two of her beauty queen sisters ... one of whom is no stranger to controversy.

"Living with someone will always be a challenge, but you hope to be able to find someone whom you can spend the rest of your days."

Kate maintains a close relationship with Sam for the sake of children Joe, eight and 11-year-old Mia - her daughter with Jim - and while the aftermath of the split was difficult, she says they are all very happy now.

She told Britain's OK! magazine: "It's not the easiest situation being a single mother, but Sam has been very good in helping me with the kids.

"They've been spending time with both of us and even though it was hard at first, we're all doing great. I've never felt better. I'm very happy with the work I've been doing and I'm enjoying my time with my children, who mean the world to me."

Jennifer Aniston Taking "Pregnant" Pause From Acting?

2012-01-24T02:00:00.000-08:00

Jennifer Aniston is reportedly cutting back on her acting schedule amid the latest round of rumors that - you guessed it - the 42-year-old is pregnant.

The actress, who is dating Justin Theroux, has decided not to take on any more movies for the foreseeable future, according to the UK's Daily Mail.

She is still doing promotional work for her new comedy Wanderlust - she and Justin met on set - but Jen told her agent she wants a break afterward.

HMM.

"She wants to focus on herself and hopefully becoming a mother," says a source to the British paper, succinctly, with no evidence to support that whatsoever.

Of course, there is also an alleged professional reason: "She is thinking of launching her own fashion line which would allow her to spend more time at home."

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux recently went on vacation to Colorado, where they reportedly spent every night in together. You know what THAT means.

It means if nothing else, tabloids will have a field day, given that Brad Pitt just got Angelina Jolie pregnant with #7 recently ... according to nonsense sources.

AH, good times. Nice to see Brangelina and Anistoux powering the gossip rumor mill early and often to ensure 2012 is off to a rousing, absurd start.

Award-winning porn star Tori Black and her baby daddy were arrested for domestic battery in Las Vegas after the couple got into a drunken brawl over their infant's baby formula. Eat your heart out Jerry Springer.

Officers responded to a domestic dispute call at Tori's Hard Rock Hotel room early Friday morning. According to the police report, Tori -- real name Michelle Chapman -- told cops she had been drinking before she got back to the room where her fiance, Lyndell Anderson, and their 5-month old son were waiting.

The report states Tori and Lyndell started arguing because, as Tori told police ... Lyndell didn't have "enough breast milk" to feed the baby.

The two-time AVN Performer of the Year then claims Lyndell called her an "unfit mother" ... and that's when things got physical. In the report, police say Tori admitting punching Lyndell in the back of the head, but also claimed he shoved her into a wall.

According to the report, police reviewed the hotel security tape of the hallway outside the couple's room and saw Lyndell push Tori "with such violent force that she flies across the hall." Police say she had bruises on her arms.

Lyndell and Tori were both arrested and booked for domestic battery.

Sources tell us Tori's friends first suspected trouble when she missed a hosting gig at RPM Nightclub Friday night. Tori -- along with her fiance and BABY -- were primarily in Vegas for the AVNs where she was a nominee ... but did not win.

Halle Berry to Gabriel Aubry Stay Away From Nahla

2012-01-24T01:54:00.000-08:00

Halle Berry is going to court this AM, and she'll ask a judge for an order prohibiting her baby daddy, Gabriel Aubry, from having ANY contact with 3-year-old Nahla until the child endangerment investigation against him is resolved.

As TMZ first reported, the LAPD is conducting a criminal battery and child endangerment investigation after Gabriel allegedly pushed the nanny with Nahla in her arms. And before the alleged pushing, the nanny says Gabriel screamed at her and hurled a racial epithet. In addition, we've learned the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services is also conducting a child endangerment investigation.

TMZ has learned more about what nanny Alliance Kamdem has told the cops. Law enforcement sources tell us ... Kamdem claims Gabriel repeatedly yelled and cursed at her, often while Nahla was present. Kamdem also says it got so bad ... Gabriel would make her sit in a corner in his condo until he called for her.

Kamdem also claims Gabriel often yelled at Nahla, causing the child to cower and cry. And she told police... when Nahla had a rash he refused to treat it.

Kamdem quit last week after Gabriel allegedly shoved her.

Gabriel's rep tells TMZ, "Anyone can file a police report at any time, regardless of it being accurate."

As for Halle's court appearance later this AM ... we'll be there.

Kris Humphries claims Kim Kardashian ‘staged own proposal’

2012-01-17T02:51:00.000-08:00

London: It has emerged that Kris Humphries’ marriage proposal to Kim Kardashian was staged, as the reality star had planned out the whole thing.

The basketball star proposed in a blaze of romantic glory, spelling out the words “will you marry me” in red rose petals, before producing a 2-million-dollar diamond ring.

According to Radar Online, Humphries has told his inner circle of trusted friends that Kim “planned” exactly how he would pop the question.

“Kim told Kris how, where and when to propose, it was absolutely no surprise to her whatsoever,” the Daily Mail quoted a source as telling the website.

Apparently, the 26-year-old power forward had wanted to propose to the reality star in his home state of Minnesota, but ended up popping the question in the bedroom of her Los Angeles mansion.

The proposal, which took place last May, was captured on reality show ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’.

“First of all, Kris proposed in the middle of the day, and he had to do that because it would create better lighting to capture the moment,” the insider said.

“Kim looked so surprised but she knew it was happening.

“She was in full hair and make-up, as she always is on the show.

“Kris wanted it to be very intimate and romantic, but all of his ideas were shot down by production officials and Kim.

“Kim told him the paparazzi would ruin the special moment if it were to take place in a public setting, like the beach, which he had also considered,” the source added.

The proposal showed Kris painstakingly spelling out “Will You Marry Me” in Kim’s room.

And when she walked into her bedroom to find Humphries down on one knee with his proposal spelled out in front of him in rose petals she told him “You’re crazy,” to which he replied: “You’re perfect.”

Kim was initially speechless, but when he opened the ring box to reveal an enormous 2-million-dollar diamond she immediately blurted out “Oh my God, yes.”

The actress’ mother Kris Jenner even helped plan the proposal, dubbing it “operation pumpkin.”

The latest allegation comes after reports surfaced that other elements in the hit reality show are staged.

Meryl Streep convinced of ghost in her guesthouse

2012-01-17T02:47:00.000-08:00

London: Meryl Streep has heard mysterious noises in her guesthouse in Connecticut over the years, and believes that the place is haunted.

Although the star admits that she is yet to see a ghost, her two unsettling encounters have convinced her of something mysterious going on there.

“Everybody was down at the pool... and I was gathering all the stuff. We were doing some work on the house and we were living in the guesthouse and I was downstairs sitting at a desk and I heard what sounded like a grand piano fall... in the room above my head,” the Daily Express quoted Streep as saying.

“My first thought was that it was one of the kids... I screamed upstairs and halfway up the stairs the hairs stood up... and I realised no one was home. I searched (the rooms)... and there was nothing out of place, there was nothing in the attic, there was nothing on the roof,” she said.

She had a similar experience again after a few years, when her sculptor husband invited some clients from Japan to stay in the guesthouse.

“They had taken the 22-hour flight and had dinner and fallen asleep... They were so tired... We put them all in the house and the next morning (husband) Don went up to collect them... and there they all were in the living room, dressed, wide awake... They said, ‘Spirit, spirit!” she said.

Cop act: It’s Salman v/s Shah Rukh yet again!

2012-01-17T02:41:00.001-08:00

Zeenews

Mumbai: We guess the year 2012 has great entertainment in store for us. Especially for Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s diehard fans!

Filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon, who is currently busy with his Prateik starrer ‘Ek Deewana Tha’, is already planning a new project with either Salman or SRK in the lead.

The film would be a Hindi remake of Kamal Haasan’s ‘Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu’ in which the veteran had played a daredevil cop.

Talking to a tabloid, a source said, “‘Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu’ (2006) was a superhit because it was one of the more modern crime thrillers with some super advanced special effects.”

“It`s the role of a daredevil cop who is not just defined by his work, but also the style in which he does it,” added the source.

However, the filmmaker chose not speak much about the star cast but only divulged that fact that he is in talks with many actors.

“We are showing the film around and we hope it gets picked up. As far as SRK and Salman go, all I can say is that it is a wish list. It would be great if either come on board, because it`s a film for the masses,” said Menon.

Whoever says ‘Yes’ to the role, it might just become a bone of contention between the two warring Khans.

Sunny Leone can’t survive without condoms!

2012-01-17T02:39:00.000-08:00

Los Angeles: Sunny Leone might have left India for the US but she has certainly set the temperatures soaring with her oomph!

The porn star, who sizzled the small screen with her stint on reality show ‘Bigg Boss 5’, is pretty popular for her ‘gyan’ about condoms. However, now that the Los Angeles Council has made it compulsory for all the porn stars to use condoms while shooting, so Sunny too will have to comply with the new rule.

Film LA, which issues permits for shooting in LA, said that about five per cent of the 45,500 permit days they give out annually are for porn shoots.

The city council’s measure means porn producers would have to provide and require the use of condoms on set in order to obtain permits to film in America’s second-largest city.

This move by the LA council is to ensure that the adult film industry doesn’t contract the deadly HIV/AIDS after several cases of the disease were registered with the body owing to negligence and flamboyant sexual intercourse.

Why did Ranbir touch Deepika’s feet?

2012-01-17T02:36:00.000-08:00

Zeenews Bureau

Mumbai: It was quite a sight, when Ranbir Kapoor touched ex girlfriend Deepika Padukone’s feet at the Screen Awards. The impromptu act not only left Deepika shocked, but the entire audience surprised.

The former couple was on stage along with filmmaker Subhash Ghai when Ranbir decided to touch Dips feet. Ghai and Deepika were on stage to present the Best Actor award to RK jr.

Now, the decision to call Deepika on stage to present the award was perhaps to make the entire segment interesting. But, we are sure not even the organizers were expecting Ranbir to do this on stage.

When Ranbir went up on stage to receive his award, he bent down to touch Ghai’s feet to seek blessings from him. Then suddenly, Ranbir in the same flow touched Deepika’s feet as well. Dips obviously burst out laughing and took the entire thing sportingly. She then hugged him and handed him the trophy.

Later on, Deepika won an award too (in the popular section) and her award was handed over by Prateik, Sharman Joshi and Mugdha Godse.

Ranbir and Deepika patched up last year after their high profile split in 2010. Right after their break up, Deepika had said that how Ranbir had cheated on her with actress Katrina Kaif. However, Deepika had later denied taking Ranbir’s name. The couple in 2011 patched up after they signed Ayan Mukherjee’s next together. In fact they claim, they are best of friends now.

So on Saturday night, when Ranbir touched Deepika’s feet, was it out of repentance? Was he seeking forgiveness from his ex? Or was it just a friendly jab? Only Ranbir can answer that!

Bipasha Basu upset with leaked birthday party video

2012-01-16T01:41:00.001-08:00

Bipasha Basu’s crazy birthday party is out there on the internet for all to see. But the leaked video has left the actress miffed as she feels her privacy has been invaded.

“I’m still in shock that my privacy has been invaded! These were private moments from my birthday that were leaked and I am very upset,” tweeted Bipasha.

The actress turned 33 Saturday, and true to her latest song “Ho gayi tunn” from her new release, “Players”, Bipasha seemed to be high in the video. She can be seen dancing around with celebrity friends like Milind Soman, Aftab Shivdasani, Sikander Kher and Abhay Deol, amid a lot of drinks and cheers.

She even cut a quirky cake, with special candles on it, and looked fabulous in a nude-coloured gown. She can even be seen dancing in the washroom with a couple of girls, and later grooving on the dance floor with Sikander.

No wonder Bipasha is so upset.

“Just because we are actors doesn’t mean we are not entitled to our privacy! These troublemakers should just get more productive with their time!” she wrote. – IANS
