Paris Hilton's Family Inheritance Going To Charity Via Grandfather Barron Hilton

I helped her as much as I could back in May and June during her jailhouse drama. I even appeared on Ryan Seacreast's Los Angeles based morning radio show and on Geraldo Rivera's New York City based Fox News Channel live weekend cable television show in defense of the heiress we all know as Paris Hilton. But no one can seem to help her out of this dilemma:

The inheritance that would have been received by Paris, her sister Nicky and her two younger brothers will be donated to charity. Grandfather Barron Hilton has decided to give 97% of his $2.6 billion dollar fortune away to charity in lieu of allowing his grandchildren to inherit the money.

For Paris, I'm sure THAT'S NOT HOT!

Breaking News : O.J. Simpson Free On $125,000 Bail; Ordered To Surrender His Passport To Avoid Fleeing Charges

O.J. Simpson has been granted bail set at $125,000 this morning by a judge in a Las Vegas courtroom.

Foxy Brown's Manager Says The Jailed Rapper Isn't Pregnant

Could Foxy Brown aka Inga Marchand have actually lied in Manhattan Criminal Court about being 3 months pregnant?

Possibly.

Foxy, who is currently serving a 1 year sentence in a Rikers Island Women's Jail Facility for violating her probation, told the media (and her attorney told Judge Melissa Jackson) that the rapper was expecting and about 3 months along (and that the rapper was engaged to be married as well). The "revelation" didn't keep Brown out of jail obviously, and now the rapper's management have released a statement saying Foxy is not pregnant after all.

How convenient.

Britney Spears: The Latest Post VMA News

Britney Spears has a lot going on lately. Fox News has reported that Britney Spears will lose custody of SPF and JJ temporarily. They claim sources are telling them Commissioner Scott Gordon will hand SPF and JJ over to KFed full-time temporarily due to information the courts have received over the weekend.

Britney's now former lawyer Laura Wasser disputes that. She says custody remains 50/50 for now and no other decisions have been made. Yesterday was Laura's last day as Britney's lawyer, where she attended a 2-hour hearing with Britney's former bodyguard. He is the "secret witness" Gloria Allred brought to Britney and KFed's custody hearing today testified about Brit's drug use and nudity after rehab. Tony Barretto, the former bodyguard, was hired when Britney got out of rehab and was fired in May 2007 because allegedly he didn't hear her when she told him to pick up her hat.

Tony said he came forward, because being a father himself he became extremely concerned for the safety of Spears' sons, Sean and Jayden.

Neither Spears' or Federline's attorneys chose to cross-examine him. His declaration went "unrefuted and unchallenged."

Upon the news of her severing ties with Spears', Laura Wasser told People Magazine , "I don't want anyone to perceive that we're dumping Britney. In a lot of attorney-client relationships, there comes a time when some fresh blood is necessary."

Spears' manager Jeff Kwatinetz has quit working for the pop princess as well.

Britney Spears' fifth studio album is set to be released on November 13, 2007.
