The photographer, who just published "An Autobiography," a $100 collection of his fashion and portrait work, denied the allegations Monday: "The statements made about me are totally false and slanderous. It is a tragedy . . . that Elizabeth would try to gain a financial advantage by launching this type of attack."
\ Vanna White is P-R-E-G-N-A-N-T.
The "Wheel of Fortune" hostess is expecting a baby in June, the show's producers announced Tuesday.
White, 36, is married to restaurateur George Santo Pietro. During a taping of the popular television game show last year, White announced that she was pregnant. She later suffered a miscarriage.
\ Shannen Doherty didn't end up marrying Judd Nelson, but he has at least one lasting reminder of their time together. The thirtysomething actor, who was accused of kicking a woman in the head after Nelson and Doherty were heckled outside a Dallas restaurant, got two years' probation Monday after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor assault charge. Some witnesses said the kick was accidental, but a security guard said Nelson intentionally kicked Kim Evans in the back of the head, karate-style. Evans, who was at a table with the hecklers, says she has suffered headaches and dizzy spells since her May encounter with the former Brat Packer.
\ Former "Diff'rent Strokes" star Gary Coleman, who had accused his parents and ex-manager of skimming his earnings from the sitcom, has finally ended his nasty, four-year court battle. Terms of the settlement weren't disclosed.
Coleman, 26, said he was "extremely pleased with the judge's findings and very happy with the settlement." A judge awarded Coleman nearly $1.3 million earlier this year, but Monday's settlement ends suits over his parents' attempt to appoint a guardian for him.
