Nicole Kidman headed into a Sydney court today to testify in a photographer's lawsuit against the Sun-Herald newspaper. Back in 2005 the paper wrote about the paparazzo, Jamie Fawcett, saying that he was "wreaking havoc" on Nicole's life and now Fawcett is suing. He already won the defamation case, and the court is deciding whether the paper should pay him damages. Nicole came in to testify about how scared Fawcett made her. She said:

"I have been pursued many times. I have had this happen in relation to this particular man . . . so many times. I employ people to protect me now. I employ people 24 hours to protect myself because I don't feel equipped to handle things."
The paparazzi can get out of hand sometimes which is still a very scary reality for Nicole after Keith's motorcycle accident last month. Hopefully having some extra protection around gives her peace of mind. Still, it seems a bit ridiculous that Fawcett might end up winning money in the case considering his behavior.

Kanye West could use a million hugs. Over the weekend he got back on stage in Paris just one week after his mother, Donda West died unexpectedly. Kanye performed a 60 minute set, but broke down in tears and had to leave the stage when he tried to close the show with the song he wrote for his mom, "Hey Momma." So sad. While it's impressive that he wants to get back to work, perhaps he should take a little more time for himself before pushing himself back on stage. He is expected tomorrow in Oklahoma for her memorial service.

On a slightly brighter note, Kanye (along with Bill Clinton and Daniel Craig) was named GQ's Man of the Year. In the magazine he opens up a little about his plans to marry his fiance, Alexis Pfeiffer. He said:
"I'm just going to go and get married -- I'm not going to make a big deal out of it. It's not to prove anything to anyone -- it's for me, for stability in my life, and I'm so happy that I found someone that I really love, that challenges me, that keeps my life interesting, that's just as crazy as I am."
Alexis was by Kanye's side this weekend in Paris and I'm sure he'll be needing her more than ever these days. Stability and love sound like the perfect combination to help Kanye out during this unimaginably sad time.
Kingston Rossdale has been all over the world with his famous mom and dad, but this weekend the family decided to have a typical day at a LA park. Gwen was on stroller duty while Gavin took the opportunity to show his son the ropes of playing catch. From the looks of it Kingston is getting some important coaching tips from his daddy, so we wouldn't be surprised if this little guy turns out to be an athlete as well as a musician (just like dad). If not, it's good to know that his parents are also encouraging him to start reading early — and of course to have a great sense of style (as seen here with his studded belt).

Britney Spears may not be allowed to drive in the car with her boys anymore, but the same doesn't go for her little puppy London who accompanied his pop-tart owner to Petco on Saturday. She left the store with some things for her pup and a new goldfish to add to her pet collection. Thankfully adorable little London takes some of the attention away from Britney's disastrous hair (as usual). Most of you think that Kevin's weekly "emergency" hearings are valid, and in the end it never looks to be much skin off her back. At least it never stops her from running some useless errands with her friends the paparazzi.
