It appears that *Britney Spears*' ex-manager, Sam Lufti is getting back at her for her restraining order. He has sued Britney Spears along with her parents, Jamie and Lynne, for libel and defamation of character. The lawsuit was filed with L.A Superior Court on February 3. Lufti has problems about what Britney has said about him and trying to take control of her. He also has problems with Lynne Spear's book, claiming that it has "false statements" throughout the book. It is apparent that Britney is doing so much better with her life now that Lufti is gone. I don't think that he will win this lawsuit, and it will most likely be thrown out. He just wants money and couldn't get it by taking advantage of Britney anymore, so now he will just sue her.

It looks like a near death experience for Travis Barker has opened up his eyes, and him and his ex-wife, Shanna Moakler have gotten back together. The couple was spotted holding hands at an event and Shanna is even sporting her wedding ring again. Barker told US Magazine that he couldn't be happier now that he is with his wife and kids. The couple has two children together and was married for two years. Do you think they will last? I say give it a couple more months or even years, and they will be back to their old ways and split up again.

Demi Moore is setting the record straight on Twitter. She stated that the rumors that the National Enquirer had put out about her and her husband, Ashton Kutcher, adopting a baby are false. The tabloid wrote that the couple had tried fertility treatments but with no success, so now that are adopting a baby. Moore wrote, "Don't ever believe what you read there," referring to The National Enquirer. Who cares if they want to adopt a baby? I mean Ashton is young and may want children of his own. Is that so bad? Why is it that every celebrity couple that doesn't have children is trying to have children or is adopting? You know, there are couples who don't have children!

In some really good celebrity news, Travis Barker has finally been released from the hospital. Barker was badly burned in a plane accident almost a month ago and has been in the hospital getting treatment ever since. The plane crash killed four people and injured Baker's friend, DJ AM. The musician will continue recovering at home where he can be closer to his kids and family.

Another fight has erupted in Hollywood. This time it is between two unlikely people. Jenny McCarthy has called comedian Denis Leary "stupid" for the jokes that he makes about autism in his new book Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid. Not only is Jenny McCarthy lashing out against Leary, but the autism community has joined her. This includes actress Holly Robinson Peete, who, like McCarthy, has a son who has been diagnosed with autism. I definitely think that McCarthy and Peete win on this one, as autism is a serious matter and should not be used in jokes, even if Leary was misunderstood in the book.

Looks like another celebrity baby is on the way. Country singer Brad Paisley and actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley are expecting their second child next April. The baby will join their son, Huck, who was born in February 2007. Kimberly is currently filming her last season on the television show According To Jim, and Brad is set to host the Country Music Association awards in November. After Kimberley's show is over, she will head back to Nashville, where the family lives. This is one celebrity couple that I am really happy for as they seem down-to-earth and not conceited like some celebrity couples. Of course, it could be because they don't run in most celebrity circles and they don't live in Hollywood.

Here's some good news for Hollywood. Travis Barker has been released from the hospital. After suffering second and third-degree burns in a plane crash almost two weeks ago, Barker has been released from Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Four other passengers on the plane were killed during this crash. The other survivor from the crash, DJ AM, was released from the hospital last Friday. Both of the men have are said to be able to make full recoveries from their burns. I wish them luck!

Well it seems that Matilda Ledger is going to be a pretty rich girl someday. The family of the late actor Heath Ledger has decided that Health's entire estate will be left to his daughter, Matilda. Heath had made his will before his daughter was born and left all of his estate to his parents and sisters. According to the family, they have no problem leaving the estate to Matilda. I think that this is definitely the right thing to do, but it's not like Matilda will be struggling for money growing up, as her mother is actress Michelle Williams. Matilda is said to be inheriting all of the $16.6 million estate, but some of it will be going to start a foundation and scholarships for Australian actors.

Paris Hilton is releasing her 5th fragrance next month. Is coming up with different fragrances all Paris does? It seems like every celebrity has a designer fragrance out, but does Paris really need 5 of them? Her new fragrance will be called Fairy Dust. The ads for the fragrance will feature Paris Hilton hovering like a fairy with fairy dust all around her. The slogan will read "Do you believe in fairies?" I guess she is rather good at marketing or she has some good marketing people who work for her, because the fragrance will hit the markets just in time for Christmas shopping. We'll have to wait and see how well it does.
