Here's the Scoop....Looks like Kris Humphries isn't in a hurry to get divorced from his former bride Kim Kardashian. His lawyers are saying that just because Kim is pregnant that it is no reason for a speedy divorce. With only being married for 72 days you think getting a divorce would be pretty easy. I guess things are different when there is a ton of money involved.
Let's get to the rest of the Nooz...Ciao,

Iger confirms stand-alone 'Star Wars' filmsStand-alone films featuring iconic "Star Wars" characters are being developed in addition to three planned sequels, Hollywood's Disney studio said Tuesday. Walt Disney Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger confirmed the speculation about additional movies during an interview on CNBC's "Closing Bell with Maria Bartiromo." "There has been speculation about some stand-alone films that have been in development and I can confirm to you today that, in fact, we are working on a few stand-alone films. [Screenwriters] Larry Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are both working on films derived from great 'Star Wars' characters that are not part of the overall sage. So, we still plan to make 'Star Wars 7,' '8' and '9,' roughly over a six-year period of time, starting in 2015, but there are going to be a few other films released in that period of time, too. ... I guess this is big news. There has been a fair amount of speculation out there and we thought we would take the opportunity today here on CNBC as a matter of fact to confirm that." The announcement regarding the three sequels came last year after "Star Wars" creator George Lucas sold his Lucasfilm production company to Disney for more than $4 billion.
Easton, Howarth to appear on 'OLTL'
Three actors who joined the U.S. soap opera "General Hospital" after "One Life to Live" was canceled will return for a new Web version of "OLTL." Michael Easton, Kristen Alderson and Roger Howarth took their "OLTL" characters -- John McBain, and Starr and Todd Manning -- to ABC's sister daytime drama "General Hospital" when the network scrapped "OLTL" in 2011. Prospect Park -- the production company behind soon-to-start online versions of "OLTL" and the also-canceled-by-ABC "All My Children" -- announced Tuesday it is working on a deal with the network to allow the three stars to appear in both "GH" and the Web edition of "OLTL." "Prospect Park understands that 'General Hospital' has featured Llanview transplants Michael Easton and Kristen Alderson among others while we arranged production of the new version of 'One Life to Live,'" Prospect Park said in a statement. "These characters, who we own under our agreement, are obviously essential to our production efforts, and a large reason we licensed the program. We also understand that legions of 'General Hospital' fans have grown to love these actors and characters in a short time. So even though we are paying ABC millions of dollars to license the shows, we have been, and continue to be willing to equally share the characters with 'General Hospital' and ABC. It's a win-win for the actors, the shows and fans, who love all of the shows and story-lines. We hope to work out these agreements with ABC and the actors." ABC has not publicly commented on the casting situation.

Streep, Spencer to be Oscar presenters Last year's Oscar winners Meryl Streep, Jean Dujardin, Octavia Spencer and Christopher Plummer are to be presenters on this month's telecast, producers said. "We are honored to have Meryl, Octavia, Christopher and Jean, last year's Oscar winners in each of the acting categories, return to the Oscar stage," producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said in a joint statement Tuesday. Oscars for excellence in film for 2012 will be handed out at a ceremony Feb. 24 at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Los Angeles. Seth MacFarlane is to serve as host of the event.
Chris Brown's community service questionedProsecutors have asked a Los Angeles judge to decline singer Chris Brown's documentation of the community service he was sentenced to perform. Brown was ordered to complete 180 days of community labor as part of his plea deal stemming from his 2009 assault of his girlfriend, Rihanna. He was also placed on probation for five years and ordered to attend an anger-management program. Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray filed a motion asking the judge overseeing the case to decline to accept Brown's community service due to "at best sloppy documentation and at worst fraudulent reporting," the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday. Prosecutors alleged Brown has provided no "credible, competent or verifiable" evidence he completed any of his court-ordered community labor, the newspaper said. The district attorneys are not asking the judge to find Brown in violation of his probation, but are requesting the recording artist be ordered to complete the work.
Brown and Rihanna recently confirmed they had reconciled after their headline-grabbing altercation. Brown allegedly has been involved in other physical confrontations since assaulting Rihanna. Singer Frank Ocean told police Brown punched him during an argument over a parking spot outside a Los Angeles-area recording studio last month. Several people associated with both men were allegedly involved but no arrests were made. Last year, Brown and Canadian singer Drake allegedly were in a fight at a New York nightclub that left eight people injured. No charges were brought in that case either.
