On Valentine’s Day, the mother of Ramblin’ Rose captain Elliott Neese’s two children was granted a temporary restraining order against Neese after filing court papers accusing him of harassing her with 15 texts and 38 phone calls in a one-hour period. According to Valerie Gunderson’s petition, Neese showed up at her home saying he wanted to hug their two children, ages 3 and 6, goodnight. Later that night, she claims, he called her mother and told her he was going to take their daughter to Mexico, where he has dual citizenship. Neese is currently at sea fishing for opilio crab and is unavailable for comment.

Jennifer Aniston to get star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Jennifer-Aniston

It may not be as high an honor as the “hottest woman of all time” nod she received from Men’s Health last year, but Jennifer Aniston will be granted her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next week. The former Friends star, whose new film Wanderlust opens next weekend, will receive her star on Wednesday, Feb. 22. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce  maintains the Walk of Fame, and the price of sponsoring a new star is $30,000.

For her role on Friends as Rachel Green, Aniston received five Emmy nominations, two SAG Awards, and two Golden Globe nominations. She has since starred in numerous films, including Rumor Has It, The Good Girl, and The Break Up. Fun fact: Aniston’s godfather, actor Telly Savalas, received his Walk of Fame star in 1983.

'19 Kids and Counting' blackmail case -- Amy Duggar responds

News broke today that Iowa resident Teresa Hunt was arrested for attempting to extort $10,000 from TLC and/or force the network to shut down its show 19 Kids and Counting, starring Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their massive family. Hunt claimed to have scandalous photos of “rebellious” (by Duggar standards) cousin and aspiring musician Amy Duggar with an older man.

EW contacted TLC, who could not comment on the situation. Amy Duggar, however, has issued this statement: “It’s totally untrue. James is a long time family friend who has always been supportive of my music career.  He’s a good Christian and it’s upsetting that his generosity has been exploited like this.”

Wegmans pulled Alec Baldwin commercials following airplane controversy

Tags:

Alec Baldwin’s antics aboard an American Airlines flight have gotten him grounded as a spokesman for a New York-based supermarket chain. A spokeswoman for Wegmans Food Markets tells Rochester media outlets that the company pulled television ads featuring Baldwin after some customers complained about his behavior that resulted in his being booted from a Dec. 6 flight at Los Angeles International Airport. Baldwin was removed from the New York-bound plane for refusing to turn off his cell phone.

The TV spots were filmed for the 2010 holiday season. The commercials were supposed to run again for three weeks last month but were pulled a week early, after Baldwin’s airline dustup. Baldwin was hired for the ads after he mentioned that his mother, who lives in the Syracuse area, is a loyal Wegmans customer.
