Howard K. Stern's appeal on DNA testing was just rejected and he was penalized by the three-judge panel in the amount of $10,000.
TMZ.com has learned Stern was ordered to pay $5,000 in attorney's fees to the Registrar General and $5,000 to Birkhead's lawyer, not Debra Opri, the Bahamian one.
This could clear the way for the unsealing of the DNA test results, that should happen in court this week.
Typically, these penalties (called "sanctions") are imposed when an appeal is frivolous.
The suicide of Brad Delp, lead singer for the 70's rock band Boston, has reignited the problems between old and new band members.
Tom Scholz wasn't informed about or invited to Delp's funeral even though he is the chief songwriter and founder. Early band members who remain close to Delp's ex-wife Micki did attend the memorial service for Delp.
Last week, Micki Delp was quoted as saying Delp was distressed about the conflicts in his professional life and became despondent after a long-time friend was cut from the band's summer concert lineup.
Scholz said that he feels he's being unfairly blamed for his friend's suicide. His lawyer sent Micki Delp a letter Friday demanding a retraction. But Scholz said he still hopes the rift can be mended so the band can be part of a public memorial service.
Delp's fiancee, Pamela Sullivan, said no one intentionally excluded the current band members from the funeral. The family simply wanted to get the children through it as quickly as possible.
A 28-year-old woman is claiming that Kid Rock assaulted her last week (March 8) at his home.
The woman has filed a report with the Oakland County Sheriff's Department.
The alleged assault is still under investigation and possible witnesses still need to be interviewed.
The woman claims that Kid Rock invited the woman and a man to his house to listen to music after hanging out and drinking with them at the Clarkston Union Bar & Kitchen.
After hanging out for awhile, she decided to go home to be with her kids. She says that this is when Kid became angry because he wanted her to spend the night. When she refused Kid reportedly became loud and belligerent.
She went on to claim that Kid grabbed her by the back of her neck and pushed her, making her fall into the snow causing injury to her nose.
The man who was at Kid's home with the woman has corroborated her story.
Kid has admitted to officers that the woman and man were invited to his house to listen to music. He claims that he was playing songs from his upcoming album and that the woman started being obnoxious and rude, talking smack about his tracks and such.
So he asked her to leave.
That's when, according to his statements, she said was going to accuse him of assaulting her.
Then there's the third man, claiming to be witness, who is siding with Kid Rock
And lastly, officers will be interviewing a fourth person, a female, who was also at the home at the time of the alleged assault. Officers will be interviewing her soon. Spicy Source
Leonardo DiCaprio and supermodel girlfriend Bar Refaeli hoped to arrive in Israel this weekend unnoticed.
They booked a late night flight from Frankfurt, Germany but it just so happened that a group of Israeli entertainment reporters were on that same flight returning from Ireland.
So much for that plan.
On Monday the couple traveled to Jerusalem where they visited the Western Wall and its subterranean tunnels in the Old City. They managed to elude paparazzi until they tried to leave.
Outside the photographers were waiting in droves. A scuffle ensued between Leo's bodyguards and the group. Some of the journalists claimed to have been punched and their cameras damaged.
After the smoke cleared, two members of Leonardo's security team were arrested.
Ken Sunshine, Leonardo DiCaprio's spokesman, said that he wasn't aware of what had happened.
"I'm in New York, he's in Israel, I just don't know," Sunshine told The ShowBuzz on Tuesday. "I presume I will get confirmation on whether or not this happened, at this point I just have no idea."

P. Diddy allegedly assaulted a man outside a post-Oscars party last week.
Estate agent Gerard Rechnitzer claims Diddy punched and pushed himand his girlfriend outside Hollywood nightclub Teddy's.
Rechnitzer, 27, says it all started when he left to use the bathroom at Teddy's and when he returned he found his fiancée surrounded by six guys, including P. Diddy.
He adds that he waited and watched Diddy as he flirted with his fiancée for about five minutes, then Rechnitzer asked her to leave with him.
Diddy, ignoring pleas from her fiancée, then told the woman he was having a party and invited her. Rechnitzer again asked her to leave with him. That's when Diddy punched him in the jaw.
An ambulance was called and Rechnitzer filed a report with the police. Of course Diddy left before they arrived. Rechnitzer declined the offer of medical treatment.
Legal papers state that "Combs, also known as 'Diddy', also known as 'P. Diddy', also known as 'Puff Daddy', also known as 'Puffy', hereinafter Defendant Combs, suddenly said to the Plaintiff, 'What the f*ck you looking at dude?'
"Then he shouted, 'I'll smack flames out of your ass!' "
Wow, that's all he could come up with?
The documents also state that Diddy "intentionally, wilfully, knowingly and unlawfully attacked, assaulted and battered" Rechnitzer causing him to "fly backward several feet" and hit a parked car.
The suit is also alleging that P Diddy pushed Rechnitzer's girlfriend and "attempted to spit on another female member" of their group.
Diddy's attorney Benjamin Brafman said, "The case will be vigorously defended.
"It's just another example of an opportunist seeking to fabricate a lawsuit based on a flat-out lie to try to take advantage of Mr. Combs' celebrity status.
"Mr. Combs did not hit anyone and Mr. Rechnitzer suffered no injuries or damages whatsoever. There is no case. It is that simple." Spicy Source: Monsters and Critics
It's like their hoping to catch her at her breaking moment, egging her on. Shit, I bet X17 would give her the gun in exchange for the pics, if you know what I mean..
Kim Mathers, the twice ex-wife of Eminem, was interviewed on WKQI 95.5FM's 'Mojo in the Morning' show today.
There was nothing held back as she ranted and raved about how much she hates him and how little his dick is.
"I can't stand him. He's an absolutely horrible person, and he gets worse every day. I vomit in my mouth whenever I'm around him or I hear his name. There's nothing left in me for him. Nothing at all."
"If you're going to have sex with Marshall, make sure you have a little blue pill, because otherwise it does not work." She went on to say that sex with Em was bad in bed and that he isn't very well endowed.
"His relationship with the kids has (gone) downhill." Besides Hailie, Em and Kim also take care of Hailie's cousin, Alaina."Since he left the house (this month), I don't know what he's doing. His visits are few and far between, and when he does come around, it's nothing positive."
She also said that when he is around he is "always yelling and complaining about something." She said Hailie always asks, " 'Why's dad acting so weird?' That's what they say every day."
"It's a shame that I've moved on and Kim hasn't," Eminem said in a statement released Friday afternoon via his publicist, Dennis Dennehy. "Her ongoing press campaign is doing nothing but harm to the children, and for that I feel truly sorry. For their sake I wish she would stop."
"So here's how it all went down... I had a set at the comedy store Saturday night, and after I closed, I was bringing on the next comedian, a guy named Kirk Fox that works for Carlos Mencia. I introduce him saying that he's a funny guy, and that he opens on the road for Carlos "Menstealia." That’s the name we call him at the comedy store, and of course Carlos doesn't like it one bit. Carlos was apparently in the room when I said this, and the perfect combination of ego and timing made him decide that this was the night to put his foot down. As I got off stage and headed towards the back of the room, he grabbed the mike away from Kirk, and said that I was too much of a pussy to say that shit to his face. Which to me, is something akin to the hottest girl in the world daring you to fuck her while you're standing there in her bedroom naked with a boner. Of course I had to disagree with him, and I decided to get onstage with him and have this "meeting of the minds" as it were.
Now, a lot of comics have had a problem with Carlos stealing material for a long time now, but for whatever reason, many of them don't like to talk about it publicly, mostly because they're afraid that people are going to think that they're just jealous. That, and they're worried about him using his power in "Hollywood" to have them black balled for talking badly about him. But in private, they talk about it. A LOT. It's a huge problem at the comedy store, to the point where some really good comics are refusing to go onstage if he's there watching the show, and others have a signal system to alert the guy onstage that Carlos has walked into the room. It's really THAT BAD. It's like a dark cloud that hovers over the place when he's performing there. He walks by and people literally stop their conversations and move away. For whatever reason, the owner of the comedy store, Mitzi Shore, has always let him go up there, perhaps because he started there and the fact that she was actually the one to name himself Carlos Mencia instead of his actual name of Ned. Or, maybe she just wasn't aware of how big of a problem it had become. Either way, it's her club, and she's done so much for comedy in general, and me in particular, that I would never question her about any of her decisions. In fact, I had never even talked to her personally about the problem until today. Quite honestly, I'm happy to get this video and this blog out there, so that hopefully this can be the last time that I have talk about it. Even I'm getting sick of me talking about it at this point.
To give you a little background, when I first moved to Hollywood way back in 1994 Carlos and I were actually friends. We hung out together a bunch of times. Played pool together, went to the gym, hung out at the store, all kinds of shit. That's also how I know that he's really half German and Half Honduran and not Mexican. I know it, because he told me himself. I thought that it was weird to use a fake name, but who gives a shit really. No big deal. Other than that he seemed to be a cool guy. Then I started to see it. Over and over again, I would see him do jokes that I knew I had heard before. Then I saw some real obvious shit. Some jokes that I knew were Paul Mooney's, some that were right off a Richard Pryor album. I brought it up to him, and he gave me this half assed denial that I knew was a lie. That was the end of our friendship. I didn't hate the guy, but there was no way I could hang around with him knowing he's a thief. For someone who is not a comic, and doesn't understand what the big deal is about comics stealing jokes, please let me try to explain it to you. It's hard to come up with material. It takes a lot of work, a lot of rewriting, sometimes an approach bombs and you have to rethink it, and often it's a long process until you get to a finished product. Now, occasionally a joke will come to you in full form, but for the most part it's just an idea that can become a great bit with some work. Now, when you work hard on a bit and polish and craft it, and then someone just disrespects the whole process, steps in, steals it and performs it as his own, that's a pretty intense creative violation. I've been in the back of a club while a guy was onstage doing one of my bits and believe me that's a shitty fucking feeling. It's like watching your girlfriend getting fucked onstage by a liar while the whole audience cheers. What's even worse, is if you're a struggling comic, and the guy stealing your shit has his own show on Comedy Central.
Now, our little "beef" started out about a year and a half ago when Carlos was on the radio in Tucson, Arizona doing "the Frank show", and he started talking shit about me, mainly telling a bunch of weird lies about a recent night where we had worked together back to back at the store. Unfortunately for him, the DJ sent me an mp3 of the discussion, and we actually had the evening he was referring to in his story on video, and we posted it up on the internet for all to see and laugh at. His version of the night was nothing more than a weird mix of lies and bragging, and it was pretty obvious to anyone seeing the video and listening to him on the radio that the guy is screwy.
Ever since then, shit talking has been going on back and forth from both sides, and to be honest I've been baiting him into a "conversation" to expose him and end this all for a while now, I just never thought he would actually be dumb enough to want to do it in front of an audience, especially when he knew that we were filming it.
Ego is a motherfucker, I guess.
Either way, I'm glad we got this over with. For the record, I don't hate the guy. I never really did.I hated what he was doing, but him as a person it's really more like I felt pity for him. The dude was living a gigantic lie, and no matter how fucked up and powerful your ego is, there's got to be a part of the back of his brain that realizes what's going on, and cringes at the reality. I think maybe it's even his own subconscious knowing that he's doing something wrong that forced him into this un-winnable battle. I'm completely convinced that if I ever got that dude high he would curl up into the fetal position and cry for hours. Either that, or launch himself off a cliff.
When all was said and done at the end of the night, especially after I saw the video, I actually felt sorry for him. I think there's part of him that actually believes his own bullshit. I compared him to OJ in the video, in that they've both convinced themselves that they're innocent, and really I think it's a valid comparison. Stand up comedy is an awesome, amazing way to make a living, and the comedy store is the greatest place to practice it in the known universe. It's just a really fun place, and there's a ton of funny comics that hang around there, and for the most part it's a really positive environment. We support each other, and we make each other laugh. We have fun together, except for this one little problem. Hopefully this video will help fix that, and make everything nice-nice again."
Charlize Theron shocked CNN reporter, Rick Sanchez, by saying she wanted to make out with him during a tense interview about Cuba.
The interview was regarding Theron's recent trip to Cuba where she had just produced the movie, 'East of Havana', a story about hip hop rappers in the country, who must have all their lyrics approved by government before performing.
Sanchez and his family once fled Cuba to avoid Fidel Castro's regime. The Cuban born reporter took offense and became irritated at Theron for comparing freedom in America to that of communist Cuba and accused her of not having a very high opinion of the United States.
Sanchez has since called the comment "a way for a beautiful woman to get a guy to change the subject."
Tonight's episode is promising to be as exciting as the Ripsi's drunken rage episode.
Aimee, the gal I thought was cool and catty at the beginning of the seasonhas since worn on me. She is bitter and brash, and reminds me of 'Glum' from the 80's cartoon, 'Gulliver's Travels'. She actually bleached a ton of the other girls' clothing for pulling a prank on her.
Anyhow, she and Ty will be getting into a nice cat spat on tonight's show. One of the girls is going to leave the show, but which one?
I have to say that I hope it's Aimee. Ty is not always putting up a front like Aimee. Aimee may act all tough and bitchy, but i bet when it comes down to it, Ty will beat her ass!
Watch it happen tonight at 10P/9C!

Ryan O'Neal, 65, was arrested Saturday morning at his Malibu home after a fight with his son, Griffin, 42.
O'Neal was booked on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm. He was released from jail at 5:30am and after posting $50,000 bail.
Police told TMZ.com that O'Neal fired at least one gunshot during the scuffle. A girlfriend of Griffin's was reportedly hurt during the domestic dispute, but police failed to specify if it was due to a gunshot or not.
Griffin is apparently just as screwed up as his father. He has had multiple run ins with the law..
"Griffin O'Neal, son of Ryan and Joanna Moore, is also no stranger to the law. The 42-year-old spent 18 days in jail for not performing the community service ordered by a judge who found him guilty of reckless boating in a 1986 accident that killed the son of film director Francis Ford Coppola."
Griffin also has a history of substance abuse. He pleaded no contest to a drunken driving charge in 1989. In 1992, he agreed to spend one year in a live-in drug rehabilitation program after pleading no contest to charges he shot at his estranged girlfriend's unoccupied car."
So this looks like one big happy fucked up family.
I find it apalling that #1, a father pulled a gun in a fight with his son, and #2, that back in 1986 Griffin couldn't even perform the community service requested of him for contributing to events that resulted in the death of a person. What a slap in the face to Francis Ford Coppola and family.
Kimora Lee Simmons was just one of many guests who celebrated with Alicia at 'Bed'.
Clive Davis, Missy Elliot and Common were just a few of the party's attendees.
Just moments after everyone had sang "Happy Birthday" to Alicia, Kimora's voice rose to the top of the room. According to a bystander she screamed, "Get out of my face, bitch!"
The room quieted and everyone looked in Kimora's direction. She was all up in some woman's face. She accused the woman of throwing a drink on her, but Simmons didn't have a drop of anything on her.
The woman, clad in tight jeans and tan vest accused Simmons of being jealous of her. Still, security grabbed the woman and promptly threw her out.
Kimora's rep is insisting the woman is a "disrespectful fan" who "constantly shows up at events where Kimora is expected. Frankly, it's a little scary. Kimora is looking into getting a restraining order."
I tell you what, if Kimora had my ass thrown out of a place because bitch was jealous I would sure as hell become a "disrespectful fan" with a quickness. Kimora is a spoiled fat-neck cow, and I certainly wouldn't doubt the other woman's story. And as a general rule I tend to take "rep's" words with a grain of salt.
Alicia didn't seem to be impressed with Kimora's behavior either. According to a witness, "When Kimora was leaving, Alicia totally ignored her."
Alicia arriving at 'Late Night with David Letterman'
Rosie lashed out at the American Idol judges, and especially Paula Abdul after viewing a clip of the show where the judges harshly ridiculed a contestant. "That's compassion. Isn't that what America thinks is entertainment? To make fun of someone's physical appearance, then, when they leave the room, laugh hysterically at them. Three millionaires, one, probably intoxicated."
"Paula was very thirsty last night. Did anyone else notice?" O'Donnell asked.
"Every shot, that woman was sipping the 'Coca-Cola' in her cup," she said, adding a wink during the words "Coca-Cola" that seemed to indicate Abdul wasn't sipping a soft drink.
"Towards the end of the show, one eye was wandering," she said. O'Donnell called the show, "terribly sad."
The judges made fun of one small contestant who had bulging eyes. Simon told him he looked like 'a bush baby'. I wonder if Simon would have made that same comment to Marty Feldman's face?
Another contestant who was quite large was asked, "Who convinced you to try out for this?"
It happened over and over last night. They showcased all the people who were strange looking and then shit on them horribly.
You couldn't help but feel bad for some of them. It's only funny until someone blows their head off.. That being said, I still love the lame show.
The latest entry from Rosie's blog:
“Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them. Even Muggles feel their presence, though they can’t see them. Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself…soul-less and evil. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life.”
