Verne’s New Lawsuit
Thursday, July 31st, 2008
Austin Powers’ biggest little star, Verne Troyer, has a new lawsuit in his hands. As TMZ first reported, Verne is suing his ex-girlfriend and sex tape co-star, Ranae Shrider. Verne is accusing Ranae of “intentional infliction of emotional distress and battery” in the lawsuit that is being filed today. Verne’s attorney, Ed McPherson, told TMZ, “When you pick up a 2′8″ human being and throw him to the floor, it hurts.” The actor is claiming in the suit that Ranae terrorized him, threw him on the floor and beat the crap out of him. He is also claiming that the damages Ranae inflicted on him exceed a $20 million payment. It’s definitely been a busy day for celeb’s legal dramas today.

Daddy Spears Remains In Control
Thursday, July 31st, 2008
As expected, the courts ruled this morning that Jamie Spears will continue his conservatorship over daughter Britney’s affairs until December 31. “Ms. Spears is reluctantly agreeing to extend the temporary letters to December 31, 2008,” L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz said after the hearing. Goetz also stated that Jamie’s conservatorship could be terminated earlier and a status hearing has been set in October 28 to review the situation. Jamie didn’t attend today’s hearing, but Britney’s brother Bryan, also a co-trustee of her estate, was present, along with their legal team. I’ll have more updates later as they arise.

Britney’s Conservatorship Hearing Tomorrow
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
After two forced hospitalizations in January, Britney Spears’ father, Jamie, was named temporary conservator of her affairs. Jamie is in charge of whom his daughter is in contact with, hiring her 24-hour security detail and has control of her multi-million dollar estate (along with an attorney). Tomorrow, a hearing concerning the temporary conservatorship will be held in Los Angeles Superior Court. Thursday’s hearing will also determine whether a restraining order will be renewed against the singer’s former pal Sam Lutfi. Regarding the temporary conservatorship, experts told People Mag that it is unlikely Papa Spears will lose control at this point. “Britney can only regain control of her life if she proves to the court – backed by medical experts – that she’s regained her health,” the expert said. “I would be very surprised if the court ends her father’s control so soon,” the expert continued. Brit just ended her custody battle with Kevin Federline last week and it is indeed very likely that her dad will continue his conservatorship. We’ll keep you updated on tomorrow’s outcome.
