TMZ is reporting that Magician David Copperfield has canceled all of his upcoming shows in Indonesia as he’s going to be brought in for questioning by the FBI on Monday although Copperfield’s attorney denies that any interviews with law enforcement are scheduled.
Apparently his trip to Indonesia was canceled because the organization that had asked him to perform failed to fulfill their contractual obligations.

Looks like things are heating up between Federline and Spears again. Kevin Federline’s defense team has delivered a subpoena to the rehab facility that Spears stayed in earlier this year. The subpoena was served early Saturday morning.
Kevins team is on a subpoena spree. They’ve served subpoenas to Spears bodyguard Daimon Shippen, former assistant Shannon Funk, and her friend Alli Sims. Who’s next?
“Kevin and his attorneys Mark Vincent Kaplan and James Simon are on a mission,” says the source. “They are pursuing all relevant evidence from every potential source and every available witness.”
It appears that Federline’s team wants to know how Spears responded to therapy at Promises. For instance they probably want to know if she was resistant to treatment or if she had a good attitude during her stay.
It’s presumed that the team is gathering information for an upcoming custody battle royale.

It’s not good news for James Brown’s 5 year old son with partner Tomi Rae Hynie. The child wasn’t included in the will read on Thursday to six of the musicians other children.
When Brown died on Christmas morning at the age of 73 the gates of his home were locked. This was done because the house is owned by the trust and “has been that way since August of 2000” says Buddy Dallas, an attorney for James Brown. “Technically, the trustees own it for the benefit of the trust. It was not in teh name of James Brown and hasn’t been that way for years.”
The will provides for Browns first six children, however Hynie’s son, James Jr. is not listed in the document. The will has not yet been filed in probate court.
Hynie’s lawyer, Thornton Morris, said he doesn’t know anything about the will.
“She was locked out of the house so she doesn’t know where the will that’s being probated was found,” Morris said of his client. “She has no knowledge to when this particular will was executed.”
I suppose it’s possible that Brown had written a new will, but that is not the one that’s being read. If he didn’t write a new will to include his youngest son I would imagine that his estate will end up being tied up in court if Hynie decides to protest the will.

A retired judge will mediate a meeting between Michael Richards and the four black men that he targeted in a tirade of racial slurs during a comedy club performance.
Michael is slated to apologize in person to the men. The judge will also help determine if other actions should take place to resolve the matter such as a cash settlement. A time and place for the meeting has yet to be set.
Lawyer, Howard J. Rubenstein, who represents Richards says “My client Michael hopes to put it behind him,”
Attorney Gloria Allred said Richards should meet with her clients “to hear the pain that he inflicted on them and to apologize to them.”
Richards, who played the wacky neighbor Kramer on “Seinfeld,” has been on a campaign of contrition since his outburst at the Laugh Factory nightclub.
