October 07, 2010 05:02:04 GMT


Actor Brando Eaton is suing a medical prop company used by producers on axed U.S. hospital drama "Miami Medical" after a stunt with a cardiac defibrillator went wrong and he was shocked with powerful electrical charges. The 24 year old, who also starred on crime series "Dexter", appeared on the medical show as a character whose heart needed to be jolted back to life with the use of the cardiac device.

But the prop turned out to be a real defibrillator and Eaton had to seek doctors' attention following the onset mishap, reports TMZ.com. He has filed suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court against the bosses of the prop firm, claiming he needed "treatment and counseling for the anxiety, flashbacks and apprehension from this incident" and could have been killed.

Oksana Grigorieva Refused Mel Gibson's Cash Deal for Daughter's Safety


October 07, 2010 05:01:31 GMT


Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva reneged on a $15 million deal to put an end to their bitter custody battle because she refused to give the actor joint custody of their baby when she believed he was "unstable". The couple split in April but the break-up turned nasty when the Russian singer accused Gibson of beating her and knocking out two of her teeth during a violent argument in January.

Grigorieva taped phone arguments between the pair and was rumored to have been offered the multi-million dollar sum by Gibson's legal team to settle the custody fight over their baby daughter Lucia and keep the news of the audio footage secret. However, the tapes subsequently leaked online - and now Grigorieva has spoken out to address claims she's holding out for more cash, insisting her reasons for walking away from the deal go deeper than the balance of her bank account.

Liza Minnelli decided against adopting children to concentrate on helping injured kids instead - because "God didn't have" motherhood in mind for her. The Cabaret entertainer, who has been married and divorced four times, tried to get pregnant on numerous occasions but failed to start her own family.

And she refused to adopt any children, opting instead to use her maternal instinct and fame to help kids in need. She tells U.S. host Larry King, "I couldn't have them (children). No (I never wanted to adopt). What happened was that I realised that if God didn't have that in mind for me, and I couldn't have my own, what do I do with these maternal feelings? Maybe there's somebody I can help. Maybe I should concentrate on other areas. And I got involved with brain injured children And that was fascinating."
