Cruise Fights To Silence Baby Boutique Owners
Tom Cruise has slapped the owners of a top Los Angeles baby boutique with a cease and desist letter, accusing them of going public with purchases he and wife Katie Holmes have made without their permission. The movie star's legal team has fired off documents to the bosses of Petit Tresor, warning them to stop talking to the media about private Cruise family matters. According to the documents, obtained by TMZ.com, Cruise was particularly upset when store bosses allegedly leaked false information suggesting the actors have spent more than $350,000 on wardrobe items for their daughter Suri in the two years since her birth. The lawyers insist no one at the store should "say anything (whether true or false) about Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes' shopping habits."See Also
Angelina Jolie - Uk Tabloid Publishes Jolie Drug Video
A British tabloid newspaper has published images of a video which allegedly shows ANGELINA JOLIE in a "drugs den" with a woman who is openly smoking heroin.
The actress is shown in video images published in The Sun newspaper looking dishevelled and wide-eyed as she smokes a cigarette and tells the camera of her past drug use.
The video captures the star reportedly saying, "I've done coke, heroin, ecstasy, LSD, everything."
Last month (Apr08), it was reported by America's National Enquirer a videotape of Jolie allegedly smoking and snorting heroin had been offered for sale for $70,000 (GBP35,000).
But in this footage, thought to be taken in the 1990s when she was in her 20s, Jolie does not take drugs, telling the camera, "I gave them up long ago."
However, she allegedly discusses her interest in bizarre sex games, claiming that taking part in sexual activity where people get hurt is "just a cool thing".
Jolie, who has three adopted children, a biological daughter and is expecting twins with actor partner Brad Pitt, has spoken out about her past substance abuse before, once saying, "I hate heroin because I've been fascinated with it. I'm not immune, but I won't do it now, at all."
It is not known if the video referred to in The Sun newspaper is the same video reported as up for sale by the National Enquirer.

DMX Arrested On Drug And Animal Cruelty Charges
Rapper DMX was arrested on animal cruelty and drug possession charges yesterday.
The superstar had to be forced out of his Arizona home at 3am after barricading himself in his bedroom, cops tell TMZ.com.
He was eventually arrested and charged with seven misdemeanour counts of cruelty. Police took five pit bull puppies into care, and discovered a cache of weapons and drugs - which resulted in further charges.
MTV reports that the arrest stems from a raid on DMX's property in August last year during which police removed 12 pit bulls and a collection of weapons.
Cops discovered the dogs "weren't getting proper food, they weren't getting proper water, and they were tied outside in 115-degree heat".
County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is running the investigation, released the
following statement about Friday's arrest, "A guy like this DMX character, with all his money and fame, has no excuse for not providing proper care for his animals. He has a long criminal history and obviously has little or no respect for the law.
"A person's celebrity status does not preclude this office from bringing charges. We are handling this case as we would any other indictment of alleged animal cruelty."
It's the second time DMX - real name Earl Simmons - has been arrested in three days; on Tuesday he was booked for speeding offences, after cops had reviewed footage of him racing at speeds of up to 114 miles per hour back in January.
For those crimes, he faces charges of racing on a highway, reckless driving,
two counts of endangerment, three counts of criminal speed and driving on a suspended license.
