Nicolette Sheridan Drops Physical Injury And Emotional Distress Claims Against DH Creator

Looks like she's had a change of heart!
Former Desperate Housewives actress Nicollette Sheridan is dropping two of the most extreme claims from her lawsuit against her former DH employers, creator Marc Cherry, Touchstone Television, and ABC.
Back in April, Sheridan sued Cherry, Touchstone, and ABC, for $20 million, alleging assault and battery, emotional distress, gender violence, and wrongful termination. ABC responded that all of her claims were "without merit."
In regards to her physical injury and emotional distress claims, ABC required that she submit a physical and psychiatric evaluation, however, Sheridan has dropped those claims so she will no longer need to fulfill their evaluation request.
She still alleges though, that her physical injury claims are valid, but she wants to "streamline" the case.
Something seems a little fishy here.

The band posted this announcement on their official website on Saturday:

"A couple of months ago, Josh and Zac let us know they would be leaving the band after our show in Orlando last Sunday [December 12, at the House Of Blues venue]. None of us were really shocked. For the last year it hasn't seemed as if they wanted to be around anymore.
We want Josh and Zac to do something that makes them happy and if that isn't here with us, then we support them finding happiness elsewhere."

Britney Spears Inspired Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘Country Strong’

Writer-director Shana Feste has revealed that Britney Spears‘ real-life troubles inspired Gwyneth Paltrow‘s character in new movie Country Strong.
Paltrow plays country singer Kelly Canter in the movie, a struggling addict fresh out of rehab who attempts to resurrect her career.
Feste tells the Los Angeles Times that she used Spears’ public 2008 meltdown as inspiration when penning the script for the movie.
“That’s where this movie came from. I mean, I was seeing what was happening in the media to Britney Spears,” she tells the Times.
“I finished the script when Michael Jackson passed away..
I think it’s tragic how we treat people who give us so much, and we love to see them knocked down to build them back up again, to knock them down again.
“It’s a weird fascination.”
Wonder what Spears makes of this.
I haven’t seen the movie, but I’m assuming Paltrow’s character prevails and shines on in the end. Just like Spears, who, incidentally, is dropping her hew new album in March.
