An unconfirmed source claims that the footage spans two hours and shows Spears in Mexico wearing only a pink wig.

He added, "I, myself, moved on years ago and am fortunate to have a happy, beautiful family."

The life insurance company that held a $10 million policy on Heath Ledger is refusing to pay the money, claiming the actor's death might have been a suicide. Michelle Williams has hired lawyers to sue the agency on behalf of her daughter with Ledger, Matilda, who is the policy's beneficiary. Although Ledger's death was officially ruled an accidental overdose, the agency calls the circumstances "suspicious" and is investigating the claim.

The investigation reportedly calls for depositions from Ledger's doctors, agents, co-stars, the masseuse who found him dead, and Mary-Kate Olsen, who was contacted in the immediate aftermath of his death.

Matilda's lawyers however, claim that the agency's investigation violates California law that does not allow insurance companies to reexamine applications after the death of the policy holder.

The prosecution in the robbery case against former football star O.J. Simpson and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart rested its case Monday. The move came after two days of testimony from Michael McClinton, who told the jury that Simpson asked him to bring guns and "look menacing" during the infamous hotel room confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers.

McClinton was grilled by the defense after admitting that he failed to tell police this detail when interviewed by police last October. But under cross-examination from the defense, the 50-year-old security guard insisted that Simpson knew he had a gun.

Earlier, McClinton told the jury that his .45-caliber handgun was in view during the six-minute confrontation with memorabilia dealers Bruce Fromong and Alfred Beardsley, and that he had given another gun to former co-defendant, Walter Alexander.

Simpson has claimed that he never saw a gun during the confrontation in a Las Vegas casino hotel room on September 13th, 2007.

Last week, jurors heard an audio tape of Las Vegas police officers celebrating Simpson's imminent arrest.

Simpson said he had gathered a group of men to help him reclaim some sports memorabilia that was taken from him. Instead, he and co-defendant Stewart face 12 criminal charges, including armed robbery and kidnapping, and could face five years to life in prison if convicted. Both have pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The conspiracy thriller Eagle Eye debuted atop the North American box office this weekend with over $29 million in ticket sales. The film stars Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan as two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they've never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes them into a series of increasingly dangerous situation, using technology to track and control their every move. As the situation escalates, the two become the country's most wanted fugitives and must work together to discover what's really happening.

Eagle Eye reunites LaBeouf with director D.J. Caruso. The pair worked together on the 2007 hit Disturbia.

Michelle Monaghan praises Eagle Eye director D.J. Caruso: "I really respect D.J. a lot, you know, I've really liked his work in the past and I was very excited to get the chance to work with him. I mean, certainly he's talented, that goes without saying, everybody knows he is. But, above and beyond all of that, I just think the world of him. I think he's just such a terrific and generous guy, and I'd jump at the chance to work with him over and over again."

Baby-faced actor Michael Cera, whose Hollywood profile has zoomed becomes of roles in Juno and Superbad, has another film opening this Friday (October 3rd). In Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, Cera plays high school student Nick O'Leary, who meets college-bound Norah Silverberg, played by Kat Dennings, during a night out in Manhattan. It's a night that includes stripping nuns, hotel ice rooms, Russian food, psychotic ex-boyfriends, lovingly trashy ex-girlfriends, and holding hands, writing songs and singing in the rain.

Cera previously appeared in the Emmy-winning cult hit TV show Arrested Development. There have been rumors of a big-screen adaptation.

Michael Cera on a possible Arrested Development movie: "I would only want to do it if it was amazing, you know? I don't think it would be worth doing if it wasn't, because I think it's good to leave on a high note and leave them wanting more. And if you take that chance and go in for more, if it doesn't meet the bar, then it's just like, 'Ah, this shouldn't have, they pushed it, they pushed their luck,' you know? That's how I would feel if I was a fan of a TV show and they made a movie."

Pete Townshend says that he hopes that there is never a military conflict between Israel and Iran. Townshend answered fan club members' questions on thewho.com and when addressing a question pertaining to religion and his followings of spiritual leader Meher Baba, he explained, "Meher Baba's teachings suggested that all religions, faiths and spiritual pursuits needed revitalization in this particular age. He also recommended that his followers didn't reject their family religion. So I still regard myself as a Christian... If I ever meet President Bush I will strongly urge him to dissuade Israel from EVER bombing Iran. I think Iran has some very, very cool people and history and a nice art college -- just like Israel."

He went on to explain that the past problems in the region continue to plague the younger generations: "Why... can't we all just get along? History itself is the answer, what has happened in the past really does affect us today, there is no denying it. If we do deny it, we are making a terrible mistake. We should of course live in the present, that's where the spiritual lesson is carried. But it's not easy."

When asked about his thoughts on the current U.S. election, Townshend spoke frankly on the U.S., yet refused to place himself on either candidate's side: "I follow it, but it is your country not mine. Pity that, because your country is the greatest in the world. I'm happy to have a place in it. I would vote for whichever candidate was willing to continue to act as an international force... The new president has a tough job, but will be leading a country that is closer to an ideal than any other. I am not a Neocon, but neither am I a p***y. Human beings are essentially cowardly unless they are trained in the military to put their natural fear on hold. If you show them your a**, your enemy will bite deeply."

Earlier this year, Roger Daltrey said publicly that he hoped that Sen. Barack Obama wins the Presidency.

Two people involved in the July car crash that injured actor Shia LaBeouf were charged Monday (September 29th) with giving police false information. According to the Associated Press, 22-year-old Herbert Simon and 21-year-old Kimberly Bent were both charged with one misdemeanor count. Bent reportedly told police that she'd been driving, but investigators suspect Simon was actually behind the wheel. Simon has already been issued a traffic citation for failing to stop at a red light in connection with the crash.

LaBeouf was initially arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, but prosecutors decided there was not enough evidence to file charges. The actor could still have his driver's license suspended for not submitting to a breathalyzer exam. Investigators had previously determined that LaBeouf was not at fault for the accident that caused injuries to his hand requiring surgery.

Although it was the most-watched event since the Super Bowl, Friday's (September 26th) presidential debate wasn't quite the blockbuster some had expected. According to Nielsen Media Research, an estimated 52.4 million people watched the debate between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain. That's 10 million less than tuned in for the first debate between President George W. Bush and Democratic challenger John Kerry in 2004. It wasn't even one of the 10 most-watched presidential debates ever, a list topped by the 80.6 million people who saw the only debate between President Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Experts say the Obama-McCain numbers were somewhat less than expected because Friday is a poor night for TV viewing; only Saturday is less-watched. Also, there was some confusion whether the debate would even take place after McCain suggested a postponement in the wake of the ongoing financial crisis.

By contrast, the vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin is scheduled for Thursday, a big night for TV viewing. The record audience for a VP debate was the 56.7 million who in 1984 watched then-Vice President George H.W. Bush take on Democratic hopeful Geraldine Ferrero, the first woman on a major party ticket.
