Tatum O'Neal was arrested in New York City Sunday for allegedly buying crack cocaine near her home, according to authorities. She was arrested and charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor.

Denise and Charlie At It Again

2008-05-27T11:09:00.000-07:00

The he-said/she-said war of words between Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen just won’t stop. Following last week’s installment, wherein Denise claimed she never requested Charlie’s sperm for artificial insemination, and his rep responded with a round of oh-yes-she-dids, Denise spoke with Page Six to offer up a new twist.

According to the soon-to-be E! reality show star, Charlie recently fired off a shocking wish of ill will for both her and her father. “Last week, I sent Charlie a text message asking him if he's going to Family Day (for daughter Sam's school) and letting him know Sam was sick with a cold,” Denise said. “His response was, 'I hope you and your worthless retarded father get cancer and join your stupid mom. Rot in hell you (bleeping) whore.' My mom died of cancer. This is what I deal with on a weekly basis.”

Denise told Page Six the entire message smacked of hypocrisy. “For him to slam me saying I'm exploiting the kids, well, he's exploited our entire situation. He missed Dad's day at the school and my father had to go in his place. And this is how he talks to me?”

2008-05-27T10:59:00.000-07:00

Tori Spelling is the latest alum to return to the CW’s 90210 spinoff this fall and reprise her character Donna Martin. What will Donna be doing in the exclusive zip code?

“Donna loved designing and wanted a career in fashion. It’ll be fun to explore that storyline,” Spelling tells PEOPLE. “And, I’m sure fans will be dying to know if she’s still married to David!”

The original show, created by her late father Aaron Spelling, ran from 1990-2000. In the show’s finale, Donna Martin married her high school sweetheart David Silver, played by Brian Austin Green.

A rep for the show said Donna will “own one of the coolest stores in Beverly Hills.”
Spelling said she is excited to be working with her longtime friend Jennie Garth, who returns as Kelly Taylor, a counselor at her alma mater, West Beverly High School.

“Donna Martin was such a huge part of my life. It’s going to be so fun to work with Jennie [Garth] again and see where Donna is today,” Spelling said. “When they say you can’t go home again, it’s not true. I’m headed back to the zip code I know best and couldn’t be happier!”

The complete cast was announced earlier this month when Rob Estes joined as the patriarch of the Mills family who moves to Beverly Hills from Kansas. His wife Debbie is played by Lori Loughlin.

2008-05-27T10:51:00.000-07:00

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale threw their son an animal-themed bash at their Studio City, Calif., house on Sunday – one day before his actual birthday. The fete drew 40 friends, including Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and daughter Harlow, as well as Victoria Beckham and son Cruz, and Christina Aguilera, husband Jordan Bratman and son Max.

The family's backyard was outfitted with small safari animals and multicolored balloons. There was also a pony for the children to ride. And a big moon bouncer kept everyone – adults and their kids – entertained.

At one point, Rossdale and the birthday boy joined several of the younger guests in the moon bouncer, while a pregnant Stefani bonded with Richie's daughter, an eyewitness says.

Victoria Beckham seemed to enjoy the party as well, kicking off her heels to play with her son, who sported a monkey costume. "She took her shoes off and walked around the backyard with bare feet," the eyewitness reports, noting that Cruz especially loved the pony, riding it around the backyard several times.

The following day, Stefani and her husband celebrated their son's birthday again – with a little quality time on a Malibu beach.

First Photo of Alleged Other Woman in Shania Twain Split

2008-05-22T14:57:00.000-07:00

As Shania Twain copes with her sudden split with the support of family and friends in her native Canada, sources close to the singer say she is reeling from a double betrayal – not only by her husband of 14 years, music producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, but by a woman she considered a close friend.

Lange's relationship with Marie-Anne Thiébaud, 37, a longtime secretary and house manager at Twain and Lange's estate in Switzerland, was behind the breakup, say several sources familiar with the situation.

"Mutt and Marie-Anne left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship," says one source, adding that the Swiss employee was a fixture in the household Twain, 42, and Lange, 59, shared with their son, 6-year-old Eja D’Angelo.

"Their two families would vacation and spend holidays together," says the source. "Shania considered Marie-Anne one of her best friends." After the separation was announced, Lange told PEOPLE exclusively that an affair was "absolutely not the reason [for the breakup]... It's literally just a growing apart, that's all." He also denied that he was in a relationship with Thiébaud, saying, "It's not true." Whatever the reason, Twain "is devastated," says the insider. "This came out of left field."

Jessica Alba Gets Married to Cash Warren

2008-05-22T14:42:00.000-07:00

Mom-to-be Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have gotten married. The couple quietly wed Monday, says her rep, Brad Cafarelli. According to a source, they were married in the Beverly Hills courthouse's ceremony room under an arch of green silk foliage and white flowers. They were casually dressed, with Alba wearing a long blue dress and her hair back in a ponytail. "She looked happy but nervous," the source says.

Warren, in a white shirt and brown pants, arrived with Alba at about 11:30 a.m. on Monday, applied for a marriage license and waited about 40 minutes for the paperwork to be processed before a staff member from the courthouse married them, the source says. Nobody else attended the wedding, the source adds.

Alba, 27, is expecting a daughter with Warren, 31, this summer. The couple met while filming Fantastic Four and were engaged last December. After confirming her pregnancy, Alba said she's been in "frantic nesting mode," taking time off from acting to get the house ready for the baby.

Ellen DeGeneres to Marry Portia de Rossi

2008-05-18T21:29:00.000-07:00

Ellen DeGeneres announced their engagement during a taping of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Thursday, telling the studio audience the news that the California Supreme Court had struck down state laws against gay marriage. The show aired Friday.

"So I would like to say now, for the first time, I am announcing: I am getting married," she said. The studio audience leapt to its feet for a long ovation, and De Rossi ("Ally McBeal," "Nip/Tuck") was sitting in the audience, beaming and clapping.

Then DeGeneres cracked: "Thank you. I'll tell you who the lucky guy is soon." The court ruling means same-sex couples could tie the knot in as little as a month. However, religious and social conservatives are seeking to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November that would undo the Supreme Court ruling and ban gay marriage.

In a 2005 interview with Allure magazine, the comedian said she hoped she and de Rossi are "together the rest of our lives." "I never would have thought my life would have turned out this way," DeGeneres told the magazine. "To have money. Or to have a gorgeous girlfriend. I just feel so lucky with everything in my life right now."
