Fugitive film director Roman Polanski won’t re-enter the United States without the Sword of Damacles hanging over his head … at least not yet. A California Superior Court judge dismissed Polanski’s motion to remove his 30-year old underage sex with a minor prosecution to the California Judicial Council. The Court will hear Polanski’s Motion to dismiss the entire proceeding on January 21st. His victim, now in her forties, also advocates dismissal of the case.
Going, going, gone. Amy Winehouse’s jailbird, husband Blake Fielder-Not-So-Civil says it’s time for a clean break. Not from prison, silly, from Winehouse, for alleged infidelity. Blake’s mother can’t wait for the final decree. "It will go through this time, it will go ahead," vowed Mrs. Civil. The entire world watches and yawns.

Princess Diana turning over in her grave. Bowing to pressure, HR Gingy belatedly issued an apology.

It’s ALIVE! Well, maybe. It could be in a life-sucking coma never to rear its hideous two-face puss again. They’re brainstorming ideas for the third Nolan/Goyer Batman installment and Harvey Dent/Two-Face might still – believe it or not – play a part.

Daily Mail is floating a rumor about Gwyneth Paltrow.
