David Beckham, meet Freedom of the Press.

A federal judge in Los Angeles dismissed the British soccer stud’s defamation lawsuit against In Touch Weekly’s publisher Monday, ruling…

As if Justin Bieber can’t afford to pay for his own meals, now he won’t have to, as long as there is a Hooter’s restaurant in whatever city he may be visiting.

Coming off the success of his film Never Say Never the teen pop star has been given a special meal card that entitles him to all the free appetizers he can chow down on while visiting any Hooter’s restaurant location in North America.

The gift comes after Bieber caused a frenzy and near rioting while visiting a Hooters In Toronto, Ontario this past September.

Money, fans around the world and now free Hooter’s, I may not like Bieber, but man does he have it made.

Jenny McCarthy is back on the market. The actress/author announced this week that she split from her sports agent boyfriend Paul Krepelka, stating that the distance between them was causing too much of an issue.

McCarthy works out of Los Angeles and Las Vegas while Paul spends most of his time in Boston.

A source close to Krepelka told Life & Style

“The long-distance thing proved too much for them, and they just mutually decided that it wasn’t going to work,” and “He didn’t want to move to Los Angeles, and she certainly can’t move to Boston. They’re still friends; they just couldn’t make it work.”

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy broke up last summer and since then she has been spotted casually dating on a regular basis, but nothing seems to be too serious and who could blame her after a long five year relationship with Carrey.

Prince Harry has been named as Prince William’s best man for his upcoming wedding to Kate Middleton, set to take place on April 29 at Westminster Abbey.

Also named for the wedding procession according to PopCrunch:

The palace also revealed that seven-year-old Louise Windsor, the daughter of Prince Charles’ youngest brother Edward will be among four bridesmaids and two page boys attending the wedding. William’s godchildren Grace van Cutsem — the three-year-old daughter of Hugh van Cutsem, a close friend of Prince Charles — and Tom Pettifer, the eight-year-old son of William’s childhood nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke and Charles Pettifer — round out the wedding party.

Rihanna is being sued by famed fashion photographer David LaChapelle.

LaChapelle, who has shot celebs for a vast array of magazines, including Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone, filed a lawsuit today, alleging Rihanna ripped off eight of his images to use as the basis for the video for her song, “S&M.”

“The music video is directly derived from and substantially similar to the LaChapelle works,” reads a portion of the suit.

According to LaChapelle’s court papers, Rihanna’s video clearly copied the “composition, total concept, feel, tone, mood, theme, colors, props, settings, decors, wardrobe and lighting” of his images.

A rep for Rihanna has yet to comment.
