"Lost" Star Battles Baby Mama and Gets Kid

Posted Jan 7th 2009 6:32PM by TMZ Staff

Naveen Andrews has just left family court with his son, and the baby mama is sitting on the courthouse steps bawling.

The "Lost" star and Elena Eustache, the mother of three-year-old Naveen Joshua, were in L.A. County Superior Court, where a judge changed the custody order after Elena allegedly took the boy out of L.A. County without permission. Naveen also claimed Elena kept the boy from him.

The parents had joint custody, but today, with the help of disso-queen Laura Wasser, the order was modified so Naveen now has sole physical and legal custody pending a full hearing next month.

We're told Elena has alleged Naveen's girlfriend, Barbara Hershey, practices witchcraft and that Naveen and Hershey have poisoned the boy. In response, Wasser asked the judge to order Elena to undergo psychiatric testing.

Elena brought the boy to court. After the ruling, the bailiff took the boy from Elena and gave him to Naveen, who left the courthouse with Hershey.

Under the new order, the boy is allowed to travel to Hawaii where Naveen films "Lost". He can be accompanied either by Naveen or Hershey.

After the hearing, Elena told TMZ, "I can't believe celebrities and their money. They always get what they want."

The pic above shows the boy, Naveen, Laura Wasser and Barbara Hershey leaving court.

Travolta Mourners Bombard Wrong Funeral Home

Posted Jan 7th 2009 4:28PM by TMZ Staff

The Hiers-Baxley Funeral Home in Ocala, Fla. is being overrun with cards, flowers and phone calls from tons of sympathetic Travolta fans -- problem is, the home isn't doing Jett's funeral.

Reps from Hiers-Baxley have no idea why people are calling them -- since they've never been asked to handle any of the arrangements. But funeral home reps say they've been flooded with so many deliveries, they've had reach out to John's publicity firm, Rogers and Cowen, for help. R&C has instructed the funeral home to forward only the cards to the firm's L.A. offices.

As for the loads of flowers, reps at the funeral home still aren't sure what to do with them.

Mariah & Nick Go to White Castle

Posted Jan 7th 2009 2:10PM by TMZ Staff

Doesn't look like the underwhelming-yet-overpriced sushi at Japonais did the trick for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, 'cause right after, they parked right outside Slyder heaven -- White Castle.


Sadly, this was one trip without a cameo by Neil Patrick Harris.

Dr. Jan Adams -- Licensed to Serve Hard Time

Posted Jan 7th 2009 1:16PM by TMZ Staff

Dr. Jan Adams, the non-board certified plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye West's mother the day before she died, has been sentenced to one year in jail after rolling over to a charge he drove super drunk last year.

Adams pleaded no contest to one misdemeanor count of DUI over an incident in the Bay Area last June where he was caught driving the wrong way on a freeway with a blood alcohol level of .20 -- more than twice the legal limit.

Adams will receive eight days credit toward his sentence from the time he served right after he was arrested.

Hilton Welcomes Guests for Memorial

Posted Jan 7th 2009 12:29PM by TMZ Staff

Guests at one of the top two hotels in Ocala, Florida are starting to come in, but no one you would know.

Someone from the Hilton tells us 17 rooms have been blocked off for Jett Travolta's memorial. The only people who have checked in so far are "doctor/lawyer" types. They started coming in at around midnight.

Several limo companies have been hired to take people to and from the airport. Right now five SUVs are parked in front of the hotel.

We've got one report we're trying to confirm about a celeb who may be staying at John Travolta's house. We're working on that.

Oprah -- No Fat Bash for Obamapalooza

Posted Jan 7th 2009 12:27PM by TMZ Staff

Everyone inside -- and outside -- the Beltway has been buzzing about what kind of bash Oprah Winfrey's going to throw to celebrate the Inauguration of the century. Sorry to disappoint you, folks, but it ain't happening.

We're told in no uncertain terms by Oprah's peeps -- she's not throwing a party during Obamafest. There had been loud whispers she would be hosting a shindig at her ex-personal chef Art Smith's new joint, Art and Soul, in the District.

The whispers only got louder when people who tried to get a reservation for Jan. 18-21 were turned away because, they said, the eatery was "bought out" during those dates.

Seems O will be concentrating on her show, which will be live from DC that week -- and keeping an eye on her own waistline.
