It is amazing how just one movie *COUGH Basic Instinct* can change a star’s career, life even, and no matter what successes or failures that Sharon Stone sees in her life, she will always be remembered from that one….quick…..frame. Here she was spotted visiting The Coffee Bean in Beverly Hills, and even still she is thronged by the paparazzi. But despite her popularity with the public, when it comes to the legal streets of California, she isn’t all that favoured. Unfortunately this week Sharon Stone lost custody of her oldes son, Roan, to his dad. Sharon had been seeking primary custody of Roan, but as Roan is currently living with her ex-husband Phil Bronstein, a San Francisco judge ruled that eight year old Roan should stay put where he is…permanently. It was ruled that Phil’s home was a more stable environment for Roan giving Phil executive sole custody. The court order reads as follows:

The court does not find that a move away is in child’s best interest. Court finds that Bronstein can provide a more structured continuity, stable, secure, and consistent home that child, Roan, needs. Bronstein shall have permanent sole physical custody of child

Sharon’s petition for full custody stemmed from the fact that she wanted Roan to live with her so that he could go to school in Los Angeles instead of San Francisco. And had she maybe waited for the move to occur between school years, perhaps she would have been successful because the court order did not feel that taking Roan out of school mid-year would be good for the sake of the child. Sharon however has two other children whom she has adopted on her own, Laird Vonne Stone who is three, and Quinn Kelly who is two, and she wanted Roan to be closer to her to bond with her other kids. But at the end of the day, there is to be no change in Sharon’s “custody, visitation, holiday and vacation schedule” and order that her telephone number is programmed into Roan’s phones. Awwww…poor Sharon. It’s always so sad to see any mother removed from her children. Perhaps hopefully this will change down the line, but it doesn’t look promising.

Reese Witherspoon has made no secret about how googly eyed she has been over her recent amour, Jake Gyllenhaal. Yes yes, Reese and Jake have been going hot and heavy ever since they met on the set of ‘Rendition’ and they are about as serious as it gets without having that little piece of paper and that big rock on her finger. But we sense those minor details are in the works, now that Jake and Reese have been playing house for some time in Reese’s 5.17 million dollar pad. And yes, even their REPS say it’s serious. So you have to know this may ACTUALLY be true Tinseltown love! But uh oh….trouble in paradise. Well no relationship can ever STAY perfect, right? But if you think there is going to be scandal, drug secrets, or big fat cheaters in the midst, think again. C’mon folks, we’re talking about Reese WITHERSPOON. Nope, this happy go lucky well-named America’s Sweetheart is heartbroken because her dog, Frank Sinatra, doesn’t like Jake’s dog, Atticus. And yeah, that’s a true story. The dogs are jealous of each other and will start barking and snapping at each other whenever Reese tries to walk them together. It’s come to the point where the dogs must be separated at walk time, and Reese has also hired a personal trainer for her Ol’ Blue Eyes in hopes that the two dogs will learn to live in harmony. Oh sigh, what is to become of them. Are Reese and Jake going to have to go their separate ways for the sake of Frank and Atticus? I don’t see that happening. And HONESTLY. If THIS is their biggest problem….sheeshhhh

Yes, I know we touched on this yesterday, but the story is so sickening it bears to be dished about again. Nick Bollea (aka Nick Hogan) has been granted an early release from his 8 month prison sentence and will be a ‘free man’ come October 21. He was sentenced for 8 months for drinking and driving and nearly killing one of his best friends. Two hours after the crash, Nick was found to have an extraordinary amount of alcohol STILL in his blood and thus down came the charges. He didn’t actually kill his passenger John Graziano, but the extent of John’s injuries are so severe that he will likely spend the rest of his life in a nursing home. Soooo….John gets a life sentence and Nick is out in five months. Nice. Nick is currently serving the fourth month of his eight month sentence at Tampa’s Pinellas County Jail, and it sounds like when it came to choosing prison accommodations, he lucked out. The particular prison where he is serving offers a credit system for good behaviour. If you behave, you get credits, and if you want, you use your credits for early release. And it sounds like that is what has happened, Nicky was a good boy and they are rewarding him for it. Mind you, his life is not going to be all that peachy keen when he gets out. He still has five years of probation to work through, and three of those years he won’t be able to drive. He will have to work 500 hours of community service, which if you count 40 hr work weeks, it’s approximately six months free labor for the county. He will not be able to drink for the duration of his probation, five years, and within one year he will have to attend DUI classes. Sooo….all we can hope for is that he will screw up his probation and end up back in the clink. And given that alcohol will be a no-no, there may be a good shot at that. We’ll see.

Natalie Portman is seen here looking a little less than red carpet ready in jeans and a T-shirt for the Venice Film Festival earlier this month. Perhaps her dress down was an example of the hippy bo-ho influence that her then boyfriend Devendra Banhart had on her. But it sounds like Natalie and folk rocker Devandra have called it off for good and their starry eyed romance has come to an end. The two have been literally inseparable since last March, when Natalie starred in his ‘Carmenista’ video and they have made no bones to hide grandiose public displays of affection as they walked the streets of New York in Central Park and fed each sushi at Jewel Bako. The couple have also traveled extensively together since the video shoot, and have been to Cannes together as well as to Israel. But you know what they say about those May to December romances, and it looks like this one didn’t even quite make it to Christmas. Perhaps now Natalie will appear a little more like her usual red carpet self for these big events. I am not all together surprised or disappointed about this. I always thought them the oddest match, but we have seen odd matches do very well in Hollywood so I was giving this one a chance. But Natalie is always looking so elegant, and poised, and when standing next to her hippy boyfriend something just didn’t click with me. Oh well, we will see what man candy is next on Natalie’s arm, and I have a hunch it won’t be long.

You know how moms are, they just want their baby girls to be happy…no matter what. Even if that means getting back together with the man who worked very hard to make your life a living public hell, and then did everything in his power to take your babies from you. And Lynne seems to think that Britney Spears and Kevin Federline getting back together is a GOOD idea. And she wants to be the one responsible for it. She describes K-Fed as ‘kind hearted’ and ‘down to earth’ in her new tell-all and she seems to be hot on the trail to hook these two up again. Is it just ME or does kind hearted mean something different in Hollywood? Ugly nasty custody suits and demands by the ex for frequent psych evaluations don’t exactly strike me as something that would fall under the ‘kind’ category. But Lynne says that Kevin has confessed to still being in love with Britney. He has apparently ‘apologized’ to Britney for failing as a husband and wants a fresh start. And what makes the story worse is that these same sources are saying that Britney is thrilled by the apology and may consider taking him back. Believe it? Not this girl. At least not unless Britney is off her meds…which I highly doubt. I wonder how this alleged apology worked out…’oops, sorry I took the kids from you….forever’….or ‘oops, sorry I did everything I could to make you look like the trashiest mom in the world…but I DO love you’….Whatever. Lynne thinks the reunion would be good for the kids, and no doubt that is true. Every kid deserves to have two healthy parents together if its possible. Let’s stress on that word healthy shall we? Because we all know that when two parents stay together, even when they can’t stand each other, just for the sake of the kids, it is anything but healthy…for anyone. I hope things stay as they are. No wait, I hope Britney gets her kids back at least 50% of the time, and stays away from K-Fed as much as possible. Sheesh. Bad Bad BAD idea.
