Lindsay Lohan’s estranged father has denied selling her private diaries.

Michael Lohan has admitted to sending two of the entries – written when the troubled actress was a patient at the Cirque Lodge rehabilitation centre in Utah in 2007 – to an entertainment news outlet but insists he did not seek any payment.

Explaining why he allowed the journal entries to be made public, he said: “They directly talk about how she said the doctors have her on the wrong medication and she mentioned how she wished the doctors would get the medication right.”

According to Michael – who received a cease and desist letter from Lindsay’s lawyer warning him against selling her personal belongings – he received the diaries when someone sent pages of his daughter’s diary to him from a fake address in Salt Lake City, Utah.

He added to website Hollyscoop: “I have the envelope and postmark dates to prove it.”

The ‘Machete’ actress – who served 13 days in jail and 22 days in rehab last month as part of a sentence for violating the terms of probation following a 2007 driving under the influence conviction – instructed her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley to send the legal document to her estranged father warning she will seek damages if he sells any of her personal belongings.

However Michael – who has moved to Los Angeles in a bid to repair his relationship with his famous daughter – claimed the process was unnecessary.
He insisted: “I never meant to offer those for sale.”
The ‘Machete’ actress has repeatedly insisted she wants nothing more to do with her father following his repeated insistence she is addicted to prescription drugs.

Nicolas Cage has settled his $20 million lawsuit against his former business manager.

The 45-year-old actor – who owes over $14 million in unpaid taxes and has been forced to put several of his properties on the market – has dropped his action against Samuel J. Levin, who he alleged caused him huge financial losses by making bad investments.
The accountant had counter-sued for unpaid fees before it as announced on Wednesday (01.09.10) that the pair had settled their claim.

Terms of the settlement have been kept confidential, however a source revealed, “Nicolas is happy that it is resolved.”

In the original lawsuit filed in October 2009, the ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ star had claimed his business manager made reckless investments on his behalf, leaving him with a huge tax debt.

Court documents filed at the time state that over seven years Samuel “placed Cage in numerous highly speculative and risky real estate investments, resulting in Cage suffering catastrophic losses”.

In his countersuit, Samuel insisted the actor’s dire financial situation was due to his “compulsive, self-destructive spending,” including splurging on $33 million worth of property and 22 cars.

It is thought that Nicolas agreed to settle to prevent more embarrassing tales of his huge spending sprees being made public.

Legal documents have already revealed purchases of “15 palatial homes around the world, four yachts, an island in the Bahamas, a Gulfstream jet, millions of dollars in jewellery and art.”

Catherine Zeta-Jones was “furious” doctors failed to spot her husband’s throat cancer.

The 40-year-old actress has spoken out about her frustration after Michael Douglas’ repeated complaints of throat and ear pain did not lead to a walnut-sized tumour being discovered at the base of his tongue until three weeks ago.

She said: “It makes me furious they didn’t detect it earlier. He sought every option and nothing was found.”
However, the brunette beauty – who has 10-year-old son Dylan and seven-year-old daughter Carys with the actor – admits she was unsurprised when he was finally diagnosed with cancer.

She told People magazine: “It wasn’t a huge shock. I knew something was up. He knew something was up.”
The ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps: star – who also has 31-year-old son Cameron with ex-wife Diandra – admitted earlier this week he had been having throat problems for a long time before his diagnosis.

He said: “It had been bothering me for a while. I went through a litany of doctors and tests. However, he was understanding about the length of time doctors took to discover his condition. These things sometimes just don’t show up.”

The 65-year-old star – who is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment – has previously revealed he has an 80 per cent chance of surviving cancer.

Cameron Diaz is reportedly preparing to move in with Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez.

The ‘Knight and Day’ actress – who has been rumoured to be dating the baseball star since April – has started publicly referring to the sportsman as her boyfriend and the pair are even said to be making plans to decorate a home in Florida together.

A source told Life and Style magazine: “While having lunch at Morandi restaurant in New York on August 19, Cameron was calling A-Rod her boyfriend.

“They’re decorating his place in Miami together; now it can be a place the two of them think of as their home.”

Cameron and Alex – who has previously been linked with Kate Hudson and Madonna – have been reluctant to be pictured together in public, but have enjoyed a string of private dates together at a number of top New York restaurants.

The source added Alex appears to be having such a great effect on Cameron that she is “looking better than ever” and has an “in-love glow”.

The 38-year-old actress has previously credited her youthful appearance is down to “lots of sex”.

She said: “I don’t want to look 25 again. The fountain of youth for me, let’s see. I guess it’s exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter, lots of sex – yes, sex, we need that as human beings. It’s healthy, it’s natural, it’s what we are here to do!”

Cameron – who has previously dated Justin Timberlake and John Mayer – has remained tightlipped about her love life, however, preferring to state she is “in love with life”.

P. Diddy is being sued for age discrimination.

Francesca Spero – who claims she launched the hip-hop mogul’s career – is suing him for $12 million, alleging she was sacked by his firm Bad Boy for being old and disabled, after she was laid up with hip surgery in 2008.
According to the 51 year old’s legal claim, Diddy – real name Sean Combs – was “unsympathetic to her condition” and tried to push her out of the company.
In March 2010, she was fired and replaced by a woman much younger who “lacked the skill set and experience Spero brought to the position”.

Her lawyer Laurie Berke-Weiss said: “Francesca Spero opened the door for Combs’ career and, now that she’s 51, he showed her the door at Bad Boy.”

Spero says she first met Diddy in 1998, but didn’t start working for him until 10 years later when she helped him sign new song writers, get music clearances for corporate endorsements, execute Bad Boy’s $38 million deal with Warner Brothers and produce the MTV reality show ‘Making the Band’.

However, according to her lawsuit, after surgery to treat a hip misalignment, he allegedly said she earned too much money for “someone who could no longer keep up with his fast-paced lifestyle” and fired her.
Spero also admitted to checking herself into a substance abuse treatment facility in December 2008 after problems with prescription pain killers and alcohol.
However, she insisted she had been clean and sober from 1987 until two years ago after being treated for opiate addiction.

Diddy’s spokesperson could not be reached for comment.
