LOS ANGELES -- A court commissioner ruled Wednesday that Britney Spears can have visits with her two sons but did not reverse an order giving temporary custody to Kevin Federline, the pop star's ex-husband, his attorney said.

Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon was expected to issue an order detailing the visitation rights, attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said. The order was not released by the time court closed for the day.

Federline attended the hearing but Spears did not. Her attorney, Sorrell Trope, did not speak to reporters.

Big Debate: Did Britney deserve to lose custody?

Court spokesman Allan Parachini indicated Spears would be allowed monitored visits every other day.

Federline, 29, and Spears, 25, were ordered back to court Oct. 26 for another hearing.

Flanked by bodyguards, Federline arrived in a blue suit and wearing a black patch over his right eye, covered by a pair of sunglasses. He had a sore eye and needed the patch to prevent glare, Kaplan said.

After two-and-a-half years together, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have split. The 26-year-old actress broke up with Warren, a 28-year-old producer, last week over the phone, sources tell Usmagazine.com.

Sources tell Us that Alba, who was abroad over the weekend promoting Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, called Warren on July 22 and told him, "I'm not in love with you anymore."

Within hours, Alba had dispatched an assistant to the L.A. home they shared to pack up Warren's belongings and move him out.

Warren and Alba met on the set of Fantastic Four in 2005, when Warren (a Yale grad) was the assistant to the film's director, Tim Story.

Despite the gap between them on the film industry food chain, the couple were often seen partying at Hollywood events and enjoying romantic vacations from Mexico to Miami.

Just a month ago, Spike TV named Warren the "Luckiest Bastard" of 2007 at their first annual Guy's Choice Awards, due to his relationship with Alba.

But now, a source tells Us that Warren isn't feeling lucky at all and is, understandably, very upset.

The breakup "happened...almost out of nowhere," the source says. "[Cash] thinks it's for another guy but doesn't know....he's totally devastated. But it was all her." (Alba's rep declined to comment.)

In 2005, a few months into her relationship with Warren, the actress told Cosmopolitan magazine that she could see herself settling down with her new boyfriend for good.

“He might The One,” she said in the mag’s March 2005 issue. “The first week that we kind of got together, he gave me a note and signed it with a dollar sign, because his name is Cash. It just said, ‘I really, really like you.’ And that was exactly how I felt at the time.”

Alba admitted that her feelings for Warren scared her because they were so strong. “I hated it because it was terrifying that I cared about him so much right away and I already wanted him to be around forever.”

So who will Tinseltown’s most eligible bachelorette go for next – another average Joe or a Hollywood hottie? Alba may already have a few prospects in mind.

When Cosmo asked the actress to name her celebrity crushes, she replied: “I would have to say Johnny Depp, Michael Caine...Morgan Freeman, and Jake Gyllenhaal.”

In 1990, supermodel Linda Evangelista uttered what has become the most famous quote in modeling history: "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day."

She was referring to herself and fellow supermodel Christy Turlington, both of whom were a core part of the handful of models shaking up the industry by being as famous and powerful as celebrities.

Models did talk shows. They landed movie roles. They inspired franchises (the ill-fated "Fashion Café," which was part-owned by supermodels Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Elle MacPherson). They dated or married movie stars (Linda Evangelista and Kyle MacLachlan; Christy Turlington and Ed Burns; Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere). And, of course, they made millions.

Some still do. Gisele Bundchen tops Forbes.com's 2007 list of The Top Earning Models in the World, raking in $33 million, more than triple the $9 million banked by Kate Moss, who came in second. The 15 models on our list were ranked primarily according to estimated earnings over the past 12 months.

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES -- Lindsay Lohan, who checked into rehab after a wild Memorial Day weekend, plans to extend her stay, says her mother, Dina Lohan.

"She's going to be doing extended care," Dina Lohan said in Tuesday's editions of the Daily News. "It was her choice."

The "Mean Girls" actress, who turns 21 on July 2, checked into rehab in Malibu, Calif., after she crashed her Mercedes Benz into a curb and was photographed slumped in the passenger seat of a friend's car.

It was her second rehab stint this year. Lohan said in January she had checked into a rehabilitation center for substance abuse treatment.

Dina Lohan, who appeared Monday for a hearing at Nassau Family Court in Mineola, told the Daily News that she speaks with her daughter every day.

"She's doing great," Lohan said.

Judge Stacy Bennett ordered Lohan and her estranged husband, Michael Lohan, to attend family therapy. Bennett said the family therapy aims to gradually reunite Michael Lohan with his two youngest children.

It was unclear whether both parents, who have been waging a legal battle over visitation rights, would attend therapy together.

Bennett also ordered that Michael Lohan be allowed more phone contact with the children, ages 13 and 11.

Michael Lohan, who recently left prison after serving time for drunken driving and attempted assault, told Newsday in Tuesday's editions that he was encouraged by the judge's orders.

"They were my entire life," he said of his children. "I miss them tremendously."

Paris Hilton's fellow prison inmates are delighted she has returned because they are getting extra treats. Prisoners at California's Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood - where the socialite was transferred back to on Wednesday - claim they are receiving added perks to stop them complaining that Paris is getting special treatment.

Rosemary Gibbons, 35, who was released on Thursday, told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Since she was here last week, they started giving us double bologna, double apple juices. Two blankets instead of one - and a sheet, too! Everyone has cookies coming out of their pockets.

"Now we feel like we are in the Hilton Hotel."

Waynnisha Brown, 19, also released on Thursday, said: "There is extra food everywhere, and now they take you at the clinic right away if you are sick and they don't charge you. It's usually $3 for medical, now it's free."

Meanwhile, Paris' mother Kathy has revealed the socialite's sister Nicky was hysterical after visiting her in jail. Kathy told PEOPLE magazine:"It's tough. It is. It's just one hour a week - 30 minutes on Sunday and 30 minutes on Tuesday. We talk through glass."

"And Nicky left in hysterics. She tried to keep the brave face but - I never see Nicky cry."

Nicky added: It's sad. It's like right out of the movies. The glass partition, the orange jumpsuit. Everything."

Paris, 26, re-entered prison custody at the weekend after a briefly being let out on house release. She spent four days at Twin Towers jail - a mental facility - due to unspecified medical conditions, and has now returned to Lynwood to complete her 45-day sentence for driving with a suspended license.

And Weaver admits Lohan even tried to seduce Mariah Carey: "I saw her try to grope Mariah Carey's bottom and boobs one night as they danced. One time I went to look for her in a club bathroom and found her in the corner French kissing a girl."

LOS ANGELES - A sobbing celebrity socialite Paris Hilton was sent back to prison Friday just a day after her early release from a 45-day sentence had triggered outrage, local TV reported.

Cry Didn't help.

Earlier, Los Angeles sheriff`s deputies had hauled a handcuffed Hilton back to court following outrage that she had been released for unspecified "medical reasons" after little more than 72 hours behind bars.

CNN reported that the 26-year-old heiress to the Hilton hotel fortune was crying, and called out for her mother, as Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer sent her back to jail.

Britney Spears was said to have thrown a knife at a stage manager’s head at the House of Blues. The jean skirt and fur shrug-wearing lipsynch queen was outraged that the guy didn’t get the lights she ordered for her show - so she chucked a butter knife at his face.

According to the National Enquirer:

The bizarre blowup occurred when a stage manager went to Britney’s dressing room before showtime to tell her that special lights she’d ordered weren’t available. “What? You didn’t get the lights I wanted?” shrieked Britney. Stunned by her fury, the guy stammered that the house lighting looked fantastic but…. SHRIEEEEK!…Britney screamed, snatched a butter knife off a buffet table - and flung it at his head! The guy ducked and the knife slammed harmlessly into the wall.

A fuming House of Blues manager lit into Brit:

“You’re not a big enough star that I can’t cancel you right now!… You apologize immediate or I’ll make sure you never appear at any House of Blues again… or anywhere Else!”

A tearfully Britney demurred and begging her victim’s pardon.

(CBS/AP) Paris Hilton was released from and L.A. County jail early Thursday due to an unspecified medical condition after serving only three days of a 23-day sentence.

She was sent home with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet and must remain there for 40 days, according to sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

Whitmore says Hilton left the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood just after midnight.

She checked into the facility just after 11:30 p.m. Sunday to serve 23 days, down from the 45 days she was originally sentenced to.

Whitmore says Hilton's sentence will return to a 45-day term, with five days' credit for time served.
Hilton will be under the supervision of the L.A. County probation department, Whitmore said.

Whitmore also said a medical issue was involved, but could not elaborate because of privacy issues. Overcrowding and a reported staph infection at the facility did not play a part in her reassignment, Whitmore said.

"I can't specifically talk about the medical situation other to say that, yes, that played a part in this," he said.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department called a hastily scheduled news conference early Thursday morning outside the Century Regional Detention Facility to answer reporters' questions about the famous inmate. TMZ.com first reported that Hilton was released from jail early.

Hilton surrendered to authorities on Sunday with little fanfare after a surprise appearance earlier that day at the MTV Movie Awards, where she worked the red carpet in a strapless designer gown.

Hilton was housed in the "special needs" unit of the 13-year-old jail, separate from most of its 2,200 inmates. The unit contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates. She didn't have a cellmate.

After her first night in jail, Hilton's lawyer, Richard A. Hutton, said she was doing well under the circumstances.

"She's using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better and hopefully, in my opinion, to change the attitudes that exist about her among many people," Hutton said after visiting Hilton.

When she was sentenced May 4, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ruled that she would not be allowed any work release, furloughs or use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail.

Sheriff's officials had said she would serve about 23 days of her 45-day sentence behind bars because of state rules allowing shorter sentences for good behavior.

The star of "The Simple Life" reality TV show pleaded no contest to a reckless-driving charge in January and was sentenced to 36 months' probation. When she was later pulled over by the California Highway Patrol, Hilton was told that she was driving on a suspended license and signed a document acknowledging she was not to drive. She was then pulled over by sheriff's deputies on Feb. 27 and charged with violating probation.

Pratt, 23, popped the question to Montag, 20, Tuesday night at the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara, says a source who adds: "She said 'yes.' She's over the moon!" The Hills stars, whose controversial courtship was chronicled last season on the hit MTV reality series, have been dating for just eight months.

Pratt purchased the diamond-encrusted platinum band with a pink stone on Monday at Ice at Brentwood Gardens before presenting Montag with his bended-knee proposal, according to a source. An eyewitness at the store tells Us, "She was trying on tons of them and they looked really happy!"

Montag was formerly a close friend and roommate of her Hills co-star Lauren Conrad, 21, until Pratt earlier this year urged Montag to move out of Conrad's apartment and in with him. The couple has not yet set a wedding date. A rep for MTV couldn't be reached for comment.

Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone has pleaded guilty to importing a banned human growth hormone into Australia.

The actor, 60, admitted possessing the growth hormone Jintropin when he was stopped at Sydney airport in February.

Stallone had been in Australia to promote his film Rocky Balboa, but he was not in the Sydney court on Tuesday.

He will be sentenced next week, when he faces a maximum fine of A$22,000 ($18,330, £9,200) in court, much lower than if it had been a federal case.

In federal cases, the maximum penalty for importing a banned substance of this type is A$110,000 ($91,600) and five years in prison.

Prosecution documents said Stallone had marked "no" on a customs declaration form that asked if he was bringing restricted substances into the country.

HOLLYWOOD - Pamela Anderson received a frosty reception from photographers at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday when she turned up two hours late for a photo session.
To make matters worse, the actress, who was in Cannes to promote her new film Blonde and Blonder, only posed for a few minutes before dashing off – prompting the angry snappers to boo her.

Anderson, who claimed she was suffering from a fever, was a late addition to the annual film gathering, after initially telling movie bosses she wouldn't be attending Cannes this year.

And she still wasn't sure she had made the right decision when she arrived in the South of France.

She told reporters, "Cannes is crazy, it's silly. Even watching it on television this morning, seeing these people, it's like the actors are prodded through like cattle."

Nicole Richie has reportedly split with her boyfriend Joel Madden after the couple's trip to Australia and New Zealand.

Sources claim the pair, who began dating last November, ended their relationship during a recent trip to Australia, where they attended the MTV Australia Video Music Awards.

Richie was also believed to have followed Madden to New Zealand for a performance by Madden's band, Good Charlotte.

A source told Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Joel was acting like a single man at the awards after party and the couple openly argued in front of the crowd."

"Nicole was in tears at one stage, but no one really knows why."

Madden reportedly dumped Nicole for being "too clingy" during the trip, which included stops in Byron Bay and the Gold Coast.

US gossip website PerezHilton.com also claims the pair have split because they have not been seen together since their return.

Blogger Perez wrote: "Word is spreading fast that Joel and Nicole broke up right after their trip to Australia."

Earlier this year, it was reported Nicole and Joel were engaged.

The pair almost tied the knot in Las Vegas on February 17, but decided to get Nicole's adoptive dad Lionel Richie's blessing first.

A source said at the time: "They picked out matching silver and diamond rings at a jewellery boutique in Caesar's Palace and then headed to the Little White Wedding Chapel where the hovered outside for ages.

"But Nicole wanted her dad's blessing so they went straight to see him when they got back to Los Angeles."

The couple were then said to be planning to marry in front of their close family and friends at Mexico's Las Ventanas resort in Cabo San Lucas.
