Hanks Drops Big Fat Greek Wedding Lawsuit

Tom Hanks, his wife Rita Wilson and actress Nia Vardalos have dropped their legal battle over profits from hit 2002 movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Vardalos wrote the script for the comedy, while Hanks and Wilson were producers of the film. My Big Fat Greek Wedding proved to be an unexpected blockbuster, earning profits of $368 million. However, the trio later accused their co-financiers at Gold Circle Films of reneging on agreements to pay the stars a share of the takings, and filed a lawsuit at Los Angeles County Superior Court in 2007. But the firm's bosses have reportedly refused to pay the plaintiffs any share of the profits or damages - and Hanks, Wilson and Vardalos have since decided to put an end to the legal wrangling by dropping the suit altogether. They have yet to give a specific reason for their actions.

Reese And Jake To Be Married By Christmas!

Jake Gyllenhaal has reportedly been telling friends and coworkers that he and Reese Witherspoon are engaged! A source on the set of his new movie The Prince Of Persia said:
He told me he had proposed several times but she kept telling him she wanted to give their relationship more time. When he asked her again a couple of weeks ago, she finally said yes.’

And apparently he's got a date in mind already: he wants to be married on or around his birthday (December 19), after his movie wraps. I could not have thought of a more perfect Hollywood couple than Jake and Reese. The holidays is a great time to get married. Congratulations to them!

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong broke up

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong broke up this weekend after a three month romance that went public when they were spotted in Austin, Texas in mid May. "There was no drama or ugliness - They just decided to end things," a source close to the couple informed. "There is no hatred, just sadness." The pair quickly became inseparable with sightings of them in Austin, New York and Los Angeles, though both dodged questions about their relationship. In the short time they were together, the 29-year-old actress was seen with the 36-year-old cyclist at many of his races and events, including his three-day Lance Armstrong Livestrong Summit in Columbus, Ohio this past weekend. Each had introduced the other to family. Hudson's mom Goldie Hawn gave what seemed to be her approval at a July 1 lunch at The Ivy at the Shore. Also, Hudson's four-year-old son Ryder went to a Father's Day brunch, with Armstrong and dad Chris Robinson in June.

Anne Hathaway's Diaries Confiscated by FBI

Actress Anne Hathaway's personal diaries have been confiscated by the FBI as part of their ongoing investigation into 12 counts of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering charged against her ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, the New York Daily News reported Thursday. Personal photos of the couple along with other documents and items including a Tiffany clock and an antique bible were also taken by the FBI, according to the paper. Hathaway, 25, dumped the 29-year-old Italian businessman days before he was arrested at the end of June. She has not been implicated in any of his alleged crimes. According to the United States Attorney's Office, Follieri misappropriated "hundreds of thousands of dollars in investor money to live a luxurious lifestyle, including expensive restaurants and clothes; dog walking services; an opulent apartment in Manhattan that leased for approximately $37,000 per month; medical expenses for his girlfriend at the time and his parents, including a 'house call' by Follieri's physician, which cost $30,000."
