Jeff Goldblum takes stalker to court

Igby Goes Down actor Jeff Goldblum has filed for a restraining order against a 44-year-old female stalker.

Are Heath and Michelle having problems?

Trouble in paradise? According to the New York Daily News, cute couple Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams are having problems. "They had a huge fight, and they're not speaking," an insider said last week after Ledger was spotted at Hollywood hotspot Teddy's on Valentine's Day with a group of girls - that didn't include Williams. The Dawson's Creek alum and mom to 17-month-old Matilda also responded "frostily" when asked about her relationship with Ledger at a Fashion Week event. It seems, however, that the couple smoothed things over before appearing at the Independent Spirit Awards last weekend.

Pre-rehab Britney in a borrowed bikini

New details have emerged about Britney Spears's pre-rehab afternoon at the Mondrian Hotel. Us mag is reporting that the popstar arrived at the hotel early Saturday morning, just hours after shaving her head. Spears allegedly had no credit cards or cash and was denied a room - so she stripped to bra and panties and set herself up by the pool. "It was sad," a source told the mag. "It looked like she really needed a friend." Close to noon, Spears (in a wig and hat) struck up a conversation with a girl in the pool bathroom, who offered the loan of a bikini. After changing in the girl's room, Spears reportedly "grabbed four or five bottles" out of the minibar "and just started mixing everything and drinking them," according to the insider.

More trouble for Grey's Anatomy

There is more drama on the set of Grey's Anatomy. Sources say most of the cast are upset by the news that a spinoff series is in the works that would follow Kate Walsh's character, Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd. "The rest of the cast seemed instantly resentful of [Walsh]," says an insider. "They each thought they'd be the one chosen to get their own show, and now they're giving Kate the cold shoulder." Lead actress Ellen Pompeo "seemed particularly peeved because she felt that, as the star, she should have been consulted," adds the source. People mag is reporting that Katherine Heigl has now dropped out of contract talks with show producers over salary issues. "Katie is disappointed and hurt that [producer] Touchstone doesn't value her as much as her other co-stars, especially Sandra Oh and Isaiah Washington," an insider told the mag. A rep for ABC Touchstone had no comment.

Angelina issues plea

In an article for the Washington Post, Angelina Jolie has issued an urgent call for relief funds on behalf of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. After a tour of refugee camps close to the Sudanese border, Jolie warned that the UNHCR and NGO aid agencies are in "a race against time before the rainy season comes" later this month. "There has been a groundswell of public support for action," the actress writes. "People may disagree on how to intervene - airstrikes, sending troops, sanctions, divestment - but we all should agree that the slaughter must be stopped and the perpetrators brought to justice... It has become clear to me that there will be no enduring peace without justice. History shows that there will be another Darfur, another exodus, in a vicious cycle of bloodshed and retribution. But an international court finally exists. It will be as strong as the support we give it. This might be the moment we stop the cycle of violence and end our tolerance for crimes against humanity... What the worst people in the world fear is justice. That's what we should deliver." Read the full article here.

Marky-Mark passed on Brokeback role

Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix were offered the Brokeback Mountain roles eventually portrayed by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. Wahlberg admits he was relieved not to get the part because he was uncomfortable with the sex scenes. "I met with Ang Lee on that movie, I read 15 pages of the script and got a little creeped out," the Departed actor said. "It was very graphic, descriptive - the spitting on the hand, getting ready to do the thing. I told Ang Lee, 'I like you, you're a talented guy, if you want to talk about it more...' Thankfully, he didn't." The former underwear model hasn't actually seen the finished film, and says, "I didn't rush to see Brokeback, it's just not my deal... Obviously, it was done in taste - look how it was received."

Another driving infraction for Paris

Paris Hilton is in trouble with the police again after being stopped for speeding and driving without her headlights late yesterday. The socialite was nabbed leaving the West Hollywood Virgin Megastore last night and cited for driving with a suspended license. Hilton's rep said his client was leaving a parking garage that "is brightly lit so she had not noticed that her headlights were not activated." Though police say the heiress was driving too fast, Hilton says she was not told she was speeding and was not aware of her license being suspended. "When she called me, she asked if her license was suspended," said her rep. "If that's the case, she and I are unaware of it."

Diddy investigated for Oscar-night punch-up

New daddy Diddy is the subject of an investigation by the LAPD for allegedly assaulting a man at an Oscar party on Sunday night. 27-year-old Gerard Rechnitzer was on his way to the parking lot at the Roosevelt Hotel at around 2 a.m. and stopped off to use the bathroom. He emerged to find his fiancee surrounded by Diddy and five other men, and approached to get his fiancee to leave with him. Diddy reportedly invited Rechnitzer's fiancee to a party he was having and when Rechnitzer asked his date to leave again, Diddy allegedly punched him in the jaw. Rechnitzer called 911, but by the time the LAPD arrived on scene Diddy had left. The LAPD are said to be looking into the matter.

Madonna puts in overtime at the gym

Madonna works hard to keep up her fit form - and rarely takes a day off from exercising. "I mix it up - Pilates, gyrotonics, yoga," says the pop superstar. "I do it six days a week, with Sundays off... Actually Sunday is a day of horse riding. There's no such thing as a day off." She does admit, however, to spoiling her diet once in a while by having "fat days." "I run longer on the treadmill and don't eat as much the next day, so then it evens out, but I'm sure it's all in my head."

Urgent health warning issued to celebs

The Los Angeles Department of Public Health has issued an urgent warning to anyone who attended the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue party on February 14 to advise that they may have been exposed to hepatitis A - a party for which the guest list included cover girl Beyonce as well as dozens of models including Leonardo Dicaprio's girlfriend Bar Rafaeli. An employee of celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck - whose company catered the event - was recently diagnosed as having the disease. The LA health department is strongly urging that anyone who attended the SI party - or any other catered by Wolfgang Puck between February 1 and 20 - to get an immune globulin shot ASAP to prevent illness. A rep for Puck said guests at the Governor's Ball Oscar party held Sunday night are not at risk.
