Jesse James checks into treatment facility
Sandra Bullock‘s husband, Jesse James, has checked into a treatment facility to “deal with his personal issues,” his rep tells People. “He realized that this time was crucial to help himself, help his family, and help save his marriage,” the rep is quoted as saying. The type of treatment facility was not disclosed. TMZ says they spoke with a therapist at Sierra Tucson rehab who confirms that James is at that facility, which specializes in drug, alcohol, and sex addiction. A source tells People James checked into the facility on March 26 and that it was “100 percent his own idea.”
Adding to James’ woes this week, a much talked about photo of him making a Nazi salute while wearing an SS officer’s hat is now making the rounds in the media.
Bullock, who has been married to James for almost five years, has reportedly moved out of their home since the revelation that he has engaged in at least four extramarital affairs. James has publicly apologized for bringing “pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension” upon his wife and children, though in his apology, he also claimed that the “vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded.”

Kelsey Grammer settles lawsuit for only $10
Kelsey Grammer settled a lawsuit with a screenwriter claiming the actor stole his idea and turned it into the film Swing Vote. Total price tag for the settlement: $10. Bradley Blakeman, who formerly worked for President George W. Bush, alleged he gave Grammer a copy of his script Go November, which he claims bears narrative similarities to the 2008 comedy which also starred Kevin Costner. After the judge threw out his other claims against Costner and Disney, Blakeman agreed to receiving only a sawbuck from Grammer. “He basically got nothing,” says Paul Mayersohn, Grammer’s attorney. “Lawyers just like to have nominal sums in there for whatever reason. When I was a kid it was $1, but now it’s $10. I guess it’s inflation.”

Michael Jackson's father to sue for wrongful death
Reuters reports Joe Jackson, the father of the late Michael Jackson, is planning to file a wrongful death suit against Conrad Murray, the doctor who administered the fatal dose of anesthetic that killed the pop icon. Murray has already been charged with manslaughter in the criminal case, and the death was ruled a homicide by L.A. officials. Jackson’s lawyer says their suit will be filed within 90 days, and has likened Murray’s actions to playing Russian roulette and “loading six bullets into a gun with only six chambers.”

'The Hangover' sequel is a go, stars sign deals
The deals for the sequel to Warner Bros.’ surprise runaway hit The Hangover are finally in place, Mike Fleming at Deadline.com reports. The principle actors, Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms, will receive approximately $5 million each, as well as a percentage of the gross, while director/producer Todd Phillips will take in a whopping $10 million. All tallied, that’s already only $9 million shy of the original’s entire budget. This comes after lengthy and heated negotiations, since none of the stars made more than $300,000 for the first film — according to Fleming — and no sequel options were signed. Filming may begin as early as October.
