Movie Review: The Victim
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008Great-looking Thai horror film is creepy but confusing.
I've seen some questionable "police" procedures in the movies, but nothing quite like what the authorities in the Thai horror film The Victim do with high-profile murder suspects. They hire actresses to play the unfortunate murder victims, bring the suspects to the scene of the alleged crimes, and get them to act out what happened in…

Britney Spears Gets a New Attorney
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
Once again, Britney Spears has a new lawyer: High-profile attorney Stacy D. Phillips became the latest to sign on for the custody case.
Phillips, who was approved by a court commissioner Tuesday, replaced Sorrell Trope, who quit after complaining of problems communicating with the troubled pop star.
A Columbia University law grad, Phillips represented Bobby Brown in his divorce from Whitney Houston, and Tori Spellling’s ex, Charlie Shahnaian. She’s also a frequent legal analyst in magazines and on television.
She also authored Divorce: It’s All About Control, once explaining that, “I’ve yet to handle a divorce where control was not an issue or at issue.”
Phillips becomes Spears’s fourth lawyer in her ongoing battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline. Her first attorney, Laura Wasser, resigned from her case last September shortly after Spears’s divorce from Federline was finalized.
Spears then hired the firm Freid & Goldsman, but their relationship ended within days, before retaining Trope, who sought to leave the case, come back, then filed papers again to depart, this time for good.

Pink & Carey Hart Divorcing
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
The marriage of pop singer Pink and her husband of two years, motocross racer and former The Surreal Life star Carey Hart, has ended, the singer’s publicist, Michele Schweitzer, says.
“Pink and Carey Hart have separated. This decision was made by best friends with a huge amount of love and respect for one another,” says Schweitzer, adding, “While the marriage is over, their friendship has never been stronger.”
Pink, 28, and Hart, 32, met at the 2001 X Games and broke up for a time in 2003, but the split was well behind them in 2005, when the singer popped the question to her beau as he sped around the track during a competition in Mammoth Lakes, Calif.
They married in January 2006 at a non-denominational ceremony in Costa Rica. Among the 100 guests was Lisa Marie Presley.
In August 2007, amid reports that the marriage was on the rocks, Hart dismissed the stories as “just a bunch of trash talk.”

Court Rejects Gag Order in Britney Case
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
A Los Angeles family court commissioner on Tuesday rejected a request by Britney Spears’s attorneys for a news blackout, saying it wasn’t the court’s job to protect the pop star from paparazzi.
Attorneys and Spears’s father Jamie, the temporary co-executor of her estate, then attended a closed-door session – the first scheduled custody hearing since the pop star’s most recent hospitalization.
Anne Kiley, a lawyer for Spears, asked for the gag order, saying the huge crowds of media that have swarmed the pop star during recent courthouse arrivals could be avoided if reporters were not told when proceedings were scheduled.
During one recent hearing, Spears got only as far as the curb, said she was scared of the crushing crowd of media, and left.
“The attorneys’ First Amendment right to discuss this case in the media really isn’t what’s important in this case,” Kiley argued to Commissioner Scott Gordon, adding that the intense media focus on her client has been “dangerous to [Spears] emotionally and physically. It’s a dangerous situation.”
Federline’s Attorney Opposes the Gag Order
Mark Vincent Kaplan, attorney for Kevin Federline, opposed the motion, contending a gag order would not stop the paparazzi from hounding Spears. He added that Kiley’s arguments “don’t pass Constitutional muster.”
After listening to a half-hour of arguments, Gordon said it was not up to him to protect Spears from paparazzi, and that he had never seen a gag order that would do what Kiley suggested.
“The concern really is the conduct of the photographers,” Gordon said. “That’s a law enforcement issue and an issue for the kind gentlemen and ladies of the press to deal with appropriately.”
He added, “The concern you have is a real one. [But] it should be dealt with without infringing on the First Amendment.”
Custody Hearing Held in Private
The attorneys then met in closed-session for the custody hearing.
Kiley appeared on behalf of Spears even though the lawyer’s firm, Trope and Trope, wants to drop her as a client.
Neither Spears nor Federline was in court. They were not required to be there.
Insiders expected no major change from the current custody arrangement, which bars Spears from visiting her sons Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1. (She is, however, allowed telephone contact.) Still, it’s possible the 26-year-old singer – who hasn’t seen the boys since her Jan. 3 standoff with police – could be awarded some temporary physical access.
