Johnny Depp Hit With Lawsuit After Bodyguards Tackled Disabled Woman at Concert

 An alleged incident involving Johnny Depp's bodyguards and a disabled woman at an Iggy Pop concert back in December 2011 has resulted in a lawsuit against the Hollywood actor. Claiming to have suffered "injuries to the extreme and outrageous humiliation" because of the incident, the woman identified as Jane Doe filed the suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, April 16.

In the court documents, the woman dished that she attended the concert with her husband and was in her VIP seat when she was forcibly moved by Depp's bodyguards. She alleged that the guards were so rough in removing her from the VIP section that her shoes came off and her clothes became disheveled.

The woman, who claimed to be a medical professor at UC Irvine, went on to detail that the bodyguards also restrained her wrists and tried to rip her iPhone from her hands one finger at a time. The situation got worse when they handcuffed her and dragged her through the venue, causing her pants to fall off and "exposing her buttocks to the other Hollywood Palladium Theater patrons."

According to the woman, Depp was fully aware of what his security team was doing. In fact, she alleged that the Captain Jack Sparrow of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film franchise was "supplying direct supervision and management of his security guards and directing their current and future actions."

Because of the scuffle, the woman claimed to have suffered severe injuries, including dislocated elbow, "cuts, bruising, scrapes, swelling, hyper-pigmentation and bleeding." She also said that the incident exacerbated her pre-existing condition. She allegedly has spondyloarthritis and fibromyalgia.

The woman is now seeking unspecified damages from Depp and the Hollywood Palladium for 12 causes of action, including negligence, assault, battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and discriminatory practices in public accommodations.

Rihanna Shows Toned Body and Nipple in Vacation Pics

 Rihanna was having such a good time in Hawaii and she showed it in pictures. The Barbadian pop star shared photos of her island vacation including the ones where she was scantily clad in white bikini and when she was not wearing any top at all.

More than 150 pics were posted on her Facebook account on Monday, April 16 night, many of whom are of her and friends. The singer basked under the sun in so tiny a two piece that one of her nipples peeked out. In another photo, she flung off the bikini top while standing underneath a waterfall, covering the breasts with her right hand.

Last month, Rihanna admitted to Britain's Women's Fitness magazine that she likes to dress in sexy clothes. "The more I got naked, the more comfortable I felt," she said, adding "After a while, it was like, 'What's the worst that can happen?' I just started being a little more daring with it. It was just knowing my body ...is what it is under clothes or outside of clothes."

One Direction's Harry Styles Linked to Two More Older Women

 Two more older women are linked to One Direction's Harry Styles. The 18-year-old reportedly asked 32-year-old "The Bachelorette" star Jillian Harris to go on a date although she later politely turned him down. Rihanna is the second woman whom Styles was interested in hooking up.

According Us Magazine, the British heartthrob ran into Harris in Los Angeles on April 2. He asked for her number but she was not interested in younger men. "Jillian feels awful [that this has gotten out]," a source close to Harris said. "He's adorable, but eighteen is a bit too young for her." Harris herself, when asked by Us about Styles, said, "I was super flattered!"

Styles is also interested in another cougar, Rihanna. The songstress was quoted as saying "Harry, yeah. I watch their videos and I remember thinking, 'Wow, he's a star.' He seems very sure. It seems, like, it's so natural to him." Styles responded on the flattery, "That is absolutely incredible. I'd love to hook up."

One Direction and Rihanna reportedly stay in the same hotel during their stay in Sydney, Australia. "The boys have been desperately trying to find her. They've been trying to work out what room she's in from her Twitter pictures of her view," a source said.

Styles has been linked to older women after the report that he went on a relationship with 32-year-old U.K. TV personality, Caroline Flack.

Amanda Bynes Caught on Camera Texting While Driving a Week After DUI Arrest

 Despite having just been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, Amanda Bynes might have not learned her lesson. On Thursday, April 12 night, the former Nickelodeon actress went out partying again and broke another law as she was photographed texting behind the wheels while trying to park her car outside a Los Angeles hotspot.

Seemingly too focused on the screen of her white iPhone, Bynes eventually backed over a curb in a red zone with her car. A photographer additionally spilled to PEOPLE that the 26-year-old starlet was "not even looking at the road." According to the photog, she even "went right through a stop sign." It should be noted that texting while driving is illegal in the state of California since 2009.

On Thursday night, Bynes was spotted hitting two hotspots, Chateau Marmont and Greystone Manor. Arriving at the latter venue before midnight, the "Easy A" actress was joined by a male friend. A witness told the publication, "She was behind the wheel of a black BMW. When Amanda saw the photographers, she tried to hide under her sweater as she entered the club. Amanda was in a good mood."

Bynes was arrested for DUI in West Hollywood on early Friday, April 6 morning. A statement from West Hollywood Sheriff's Department regarding her arrest detailed that the "Hairspray" actress collided with the right rear quarter panel of a police car when she tried to pass it. She was released without posting any bail later that day.

 "American Idol" contestants have expressed their confidence that Jennifer Lopez will get through her divorce process with Marc Anthony well. Asked how the female judge reacts after the news broke out the same day she appeared on the FOX reality series, Skylar Laine replied, "I'm sure Jennifer is handling things fine. She's Jennifer Lopez, she can do what she wants!"

Echoing the country music beauty's statement, Colton Dixon claimed the "On the Floor" hitmaker didn't show any negative attitude despite the divorce filing. "I didn't know that," so the 20-year-old said. "Yikes. Jennifer is a superstar. I never would have known from her attitude that news [on her divorce] was released today. She's such a class act. We all love Jennifer. She's so genuine, she's a very independent woman and she knows how to handle herself that way."

On Jennifer's much younger boyfriend Casper Smart, Skylar commented, "We've seen Casper." The country music beauty added, "I've never met him, but I've seen him. He wears sunglasses a lot. It's whatever she wants. I'm sure he's a nice guy. She looks taller than him which is kind of funny. Maybe it's her heels."

Jessica Sanchez also gushed on the couple's relationship, simply saying, "They're cute together." Meanwhile, Elise Testone admitted watching Jennifer and her boy-toy on "Dance Again" music video made her feel like she "was invading their personal space."

Still, she added, "But she's so beautiful, and I really do look up to her. I think she was rocking what she's got, and that's all you can do while you're here on Earth. If I looked like J.Lo, I would do that all the time!"

Phillip Phillips, on the other hand, enjoys watching the clip which is filled with steamy scenes as telling E! Online, "The video was mmm-mmm-good!" He added with laugh, "I wasn't complaining."

Marc Anthony filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez on Monday, April 9, but it's not until Wednesday, April 4 that the news broke out. The couple, who tied the knot on June 5, 2004 in a secret ceremony, has been separated since July 2011.

 Prachi Desai, who started her career with popular television serial “Kasamh Se” and then graduated to the big screen with the movie “Rock On!!”, is happy playing her age in her forthcoming films.

Prachi will be seen in “Bol Bachchan”, starring Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan and “I Main Aur Main” that has John Abraham in the lead role. Both the films will release in June.

“It has been a long time that I waited to play my age on screen and be myself, play roles that are more like me. I guess ‘Bol Bachchan’ and ‘I Me Aur Main’ have given me that chance. This is the phase I am really enjoying,” she told reporters at the launch of a skin care product here Tuesday.

“I am in the experimenting phase. I am really liking the work I am doing now. It was something that I was waiting for. The kind of roles I play now were the ones I was looking forward to play,” the 23-year-old added.

Prachi launched sun protection Ultrasheer Complete UV Moisture by skincare brand Neutrogena.

“‘Once Uplon A Time In Mumbaai’ is a very, very special film for me. Apart from that, I would say that Milan Luthria is one of my favourite directors and Rajat Arora is one of my favourite writers. They are making a sequel to the film and I am very happy about it.

“I know for sure that it’s going to be a fantastic film. I am looking forward to it because the story is completely different, the cast is completely different and I believe it is going to be even better than the first one,” she said.

Scarlett Johansson Reacts to the Using of Her Photo in Sex Shop Ads

 Scarlett Johansson doesn't let herself bothered by recent report that her sexy image has been used to advertise a sex shop near the border of Mexico. In a statement she released to E! News, the Black Widow of "The Avengers" simply said, "I applaud TMZ's, once again, award winning investigative journalism for securing the knowledge of my legions of Mexican fans."

The 27-year-old actress has unwittingly become the new face of porn after a photo of herself in a black bra, unbuttoned white shirt and tiny shorts graced the business cards of VIP, a Spanish-speaking adult store that is located in Calexico, California. Surrounding her image were Spanish text of the products the store sells, which include "DVD & VHS" and "lubricantes".

When contacted by TMZ, the store manager seemingly had no idea that the ripping off of the image might lead to a problem. "What does it have to do with the business card? I don't know who Scarlett Johansson is," he said before explaining, "The owner ordered cards from a company and said we need something with a girl on the card and the company did it."

'Glee' 3.16 Preview: Disco Time and Brittana's Sex Tape

 Disco music will be played at the McKinley High hall in the next episode of "Glee". Apparently sharing a similar taste with Sue Sylvester, Will Schuester will take the New Directions kids to go back in time and embrace the songs from an older generation.

Not happy with Mr. Schuester's idea, Mercedes and friends yell, "Disco sucks." They, somehow, will soon change her opinion and launch into performances of such Bee Gees songs as "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever" under the disco ball.

The disco theme aside, Santana is worried about a possible leaked sex tape featuring her and Brittany, but the blonde cheerleader seemingly does not share the anxiety at all.

A tribute to '70s movie "Saturday Night Fever", the new episode is titled "Saturday Night Glee-ver" and will air Tuesday, April 17 at 8/7c on FOX. "The Glee Project" season 1 finalist Alex Newell will make his first appearance as Wade, Vocal Adrenaline's lead singer.

Mahie Gill is Mona Darling in ‘Zanjeer’ remake

 Bindu’s iconic ‘Mona Darling’ act in “Zanjeer” in 1973 is now being taken over by Mahie Gill, who admits the role is challenging but says she will pull it off.

Ajit had played the arch-villain Teja in the original; for the remake, Prakash Raj has been roped in. Southern actor Ram Charan Teja, son of superstar Chiranjeevi, will step into Amitabh Bahchan’s shoes to play the Angry Young Man.

“I was initially apprehensive about doing the part. I wondered if I’d be able to carry it off. It was director Apoorva Lakhia who convinced me. Now I’m very excited. To recreate the original vamp ‘Mona Darling’ of the 1970s for today’s audience is a challenge. And most of my scenes are with Prakash Raj who is a very good actor. I think I’ll be able to pull it off,” said Mahie, who recently wowed audiences with her bold avatar in “Saheb, Biwi aur Gangster”.

The culture of an overweight seductress went out with Bindu. While Bindu got away with slit dresses and body stockings in “Zanjeer”, Mahie, we are told, would be doing some heavy duty lovemaking scenes with Prakash Raj and would also need to get into better shape for a bikini.

“We definitely want Mahie’s Mona Darling to go beyond Binduji. If Binduji became synonymous with the character in the 1970s, we want people to shout ‘Mona Darling’ at Mahie when she steps out,” said Amit Mehra, son of Prakash Mehra who had produced and directed the Amitabh Bachchan starrer “Zanjeer”. He was speaking on behalf of the film’s producers – Reliance Entertainment, Adai Mehra Productions and Flying Turtle Films.

“Those times, when the first ‘Zanjeer’ was made, were different. Today, being sexy doesn’t mean performing a cabaret in a slit dress. Mahie will have to be seen performing more horizontal acts with Prakash Raj. And she’ll definitely be seen a bikini,” he added.

Both Mahie and Prakash Raj, who is rather bulky, have been asked to shed kilos urgently.

Mahie’s weight is not the only thing that goes from Bindu’s Mona Darling act. The sizzling Asha Bhosle number “Diljalon ka dil jala ke” has also been done away with. Mahie was apparently most keen to dance to Bindu’s number.

“We’re doing an entirely new hip and slick club song for Mahie to dance to. With due respects to Helenji and Binduji, cabarets are no longer a part of popular nightclub culture,” said Mehra.

Priyanka not yet confirmed for ‘Zanjeer’ remake – Apoorva Lakhia

 The leading lady for the remake of 1973 film “Zanjeer” is yet to be finalised, says director Apoorva Lakhia, putting rest to rumours that Priyanka Chopra has already been cast. He also says that he is yet to approach Amitabh Bachchan to play a part in the film.

“Priyanka Chopra is not yet confirmed. We have not yet decided on that. However, we are starting the film’s shoot from May 13. The scenes of the lead actor will be shot,” Lakhia, who will direct the project, told IANS.

The lead hero in the remake will be essayed by southern superstar Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan Teja, who will step into the shoes of Amitabh for the remake.

While rumours are rife that Amitabh will be seen in a cameo in the remake, Lakhia says he hasn’t approached the megastar yet. However, he will do that soon.

“I have not approached Mr. Bachchan yet. But I will soon approach him. It would be great if he could show his presence in the film,” said Lakhia, who has worked with Big B in films like “Shootout At Lokhandwala”, “Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost” and “Ek Ajnabee”.

He considers it is “duty” to approach Big B for the “Zanjeer” remake, but says it is upto the veteran to agree to the project or not.

“I would approach him for all obvious reasons. Who does not want to cast Mr. Bachchan in their film,” said Lakhia.

The original “Zanjeer”, also featured Jaya Bhaduri and Pran in key roles. It played a vital role in shaping Amitabh’s career by not just catapulting him to fame, but also by giving him the title of “angry young man” at that time.

The remake of “Zanjeer” is being produced by first-timer Amit Mehra.

'Hunger Games' Beats 'American Reunion' and 'Titanic 3D' on Box Office

 "The Hunger Games" continues its victorious run on the North American box office. Defending its champion title for three weeks in a row, the famous novel-adapted movie rakes in an estimated $33.5 million this weekend. Dropping only 43% from last week, the survival sci-fi pic collects a total domestic cume of $302.8 million in only 17 days after being released in the U.S. theaters.

Landing on the runner-up spot is "American Reunion", which takes in around $21.5 million on its opening weekend. The latest movie of the "American Pie" series scores a "B+" CinemaScore, while attracting mostly older moviegoers which make up 60% of the ticket buyers.

Though "Reunion", which is made with a budget of $50 million, marks the smallest opening in the "Pie" franchise, Universal Pictures is satisfied enough with the result. The studio's president of domestic distribution Nikki Rocco says, "We're very happy with the worldwide result for 'American Reunion'. Based on the cost, this is going to be a very successful endeavor for Universal."

Another newcomer this week is the 3D re-release of phenomenal 1997 film "Titanic". Opening on the third place, the James Cameron movie collects an estimated $17.3 million. The result, however, is smaller than recent 3D re-release movies, such as "The Lion King" 3D ($30.2 million), "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" 3D ($22.5 million), and "Beauty and the Beast (1991)" 3D (17.8 million).

Megan Colligan, Paramount Pictures president of domestic distribution, hopes that "Titanic" 3D could raise its grossing from good word of mouth. "There's something very special about seeing it again on the big screen," says Colligan. "It's an experience."

Greek myth epic "Wrath of the Titans" drops to the fourth place this weekend. Falling 55% from last week, the $150 million fantasy film collects approximately $15 million for a total cume of $58.8 million after two weeks playing in cinemas. So far, the film couldn't best its predecessor, 2010's "Clash of the Titans", which bagged $110.2 million in only 10 days.

Rounding up the top five is Tarsem Singh's Snow White film "Mirror Mirror" which grabs $11 million, dropping a mild 39% from last week. On its second weekend, the family movie takes in a total domestic cume of $36.4 million, which still doesn't match its $85 million budget. 

Top Ten Movies at Box Office for April 6-8:

1. "The Hunger Games" - $33.5 million
2. "American Reunion" - $21.5 million
3. "Titanic" 3D - $17.3 million
4. "Wrath of the Titans" - $15 million
5. "Mirror Mirror" - $11 million
6. "21 Jump Street" - $10.2 million
7. "The Lorax" - $5 million
8. "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" - $975,000
9. "John Carter" - $820,000
10. "Safe House" - $581,000

Amanda Bynes Spotted at Tow Yard After Jail Release

Amanda Bynes doesn't waste time in getting her car back after she was released from jail. On Friday, April 6, the former host of Nickelodeon's "The Amanda Show" was spotted showing up at a tow yard in Los Angeles to pick up the BMW she allegedly crashed into a cop car earlier in the morning.

Hiding her eyes behind dark sunglasses, 26-year-old Bynes still donned the same outfit that she wore during her DUI arrest and when she left the police station, a black blazer and mini skirt. One of her photos, which made their way out via TMZ, displays her sitting on a bench with a bottle of water near her. The gossip site noted that the former child actress was "clearly suffering from a painful hangover".

Bynes got herself arrested in West Hollywood at 3 A.M. Friday morning after sideswiping a police car when attempting to pass it. She was immediately pulled over and was taken into custody after the officer found out that she had been drinking. Booked at West Hollywood Sheriff's Station, she was reportedly released on $5,000 bail.

E! News, however, claimed that the Marianne Bryant of "Easy A" was not required to pay the bond when she was released from jail. It noted that the actress, who sports a pink hair in her mug shot, was only issued a citation. Upon her release, she kept her head down and didn't give any response to the reporters as she made her way into a passenger seat of an awaiting car.

Donald Trump Needs to Stop Being Focused on Genitals, Jenna Talackova's Attorney Says

 Donald Trump's latest comment about Jenna Talackova in an interview for "20/20" has invited sneer from the transgender beauty queen's attorney. After Donald told Barbara Walters that Jenna's name, if put together, sounds like genital, Gloria Allred said that the owner of Miss Universe Organization had to stop "being focused on genitals".

"With all due respect to Mr. Trump, he really needs to stop being focused on genitals, his or anyone else's," Gloria told the show's host during the TV interview. With Jenna sitting next to her, the famous Hollywood lawyer further stated, "This world does not revolve around his penis or anyone else's genitalia."

When asked why she took on Jenna's case, Gloria pointed out, "What happened to Jenna is very, very important." She went on explaining, "The Miss Universe competition had the rule that a contestant had to be a naturally born female. That is a rule that is blatantly discriminatory."

23-year-old Jenna was selected among 65 finalists for 2012 Miss Universe Canada. She, however, was disqualified after organizers found out she had undergone surgery to become a woman. The decision was later reversed, and she is welcomed to compete "provided she meets the legal gender recognition requirements of Canada and the standards established by other international competitions."

During the "20/20" interview, Donald explained about the reversal of the decision. "We looked at the laws of Canada, and we looked at the laws of the United States, and every country is different, but it was obvious to us that she was entitled to compete," he said. He, however, also noted that he wondered if there was an ulterior motive behind the first letters of Jenna's name, "JennaTal".

That isn't the first time Donald made any reference to genital when weighing in on Jenna's controversy. After Gloria said that Jenna "did not ask Mr. Trump to prove that he is a naturally-born man", he told TMZ, "I think Gloria Allred would be very, very, very, very impressed [with my penis]. I think she would have a whole new image of Donald Trump."
