Clooney to Sue Paps Over Underage Photos

George Clooney is gearing up for a legal war in Italy -- claiming invasive paparazzi climbed over the wall of his Italian home and shot a topless photo of a 13-year-old girl changing in one of his guest rooms.

The photographer also took shots of Clooney and his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis enjoying private moments in the yard of his estate.

The photos were published in two magazines -- and in a statement to TMZ, Clooney says he's gunning to sue both the mags and the photog who took the pictures.

"We're suing two magazines AND a photographer. I don't know about the law in the United States but in Italy it's illegal for photographers to climb over my wall and to take long lens pictures of a 13-year-old girl in her bedroom.

I draw the line of privacy at that."

Johansson 'attacks weight loss rumours'

Scarlett Johansson has attacked "ridiculous" reports that she recently shed 14 pounds for her role in Iron Man 2.

The 25-year-old admitted that she has slimmed down in order to play Black Widow in the forthcoming action sequel, but not to such extreme lengths.

She told Glamour: "There was this rumour mill cranking out stories that I had lost 14 pounds - I could never lose 14 pounds. I hate seeing these ridiculous articles where [tabloids] guess someone's weight."

However, the actress went on to confess that her fame has made her somewhat self-conscious about her weight.

She added: "I have a tumultuous relationship with it because I love to get ready for the red carpet, but being on it is very uncomfortable. It's so freakish and weird. I get flop sweats, dry mouth, heart palpitations, all over panic!"

Report: Pitt, Jolie sign £205m split deal

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reportedly signed a separation deal detailing how they will divide their assets and who will get custody of their children.

The couple will share their fortune equally and have joint custody of their brood of six, according to the News Of The World.

Although not married, the stars met with top Beverly Hills divorce lawyers in early December to carve out the £205 million separation deal and both signed the paperwork this month.

A source said: "It seemed clear they want the world to know they'll both play a part in the upbringing of the children. But Angelina will actually be the one who lives with them full-time.

"There's no date for when the contract would come into effect. But the paperwork is already organised for a break-up - and for it to be as unmessy for them as possible. It is clear it's a case of when they break-up rather than if."

The couple met on the set of the 2004 film Mr And Mrs Smith and were first photographed together the following year, three months after Pitt ended his marriage to Jennifer Aniston. Pitt later admitted that he fell in love with Jolie while making the movie.

Neither Pitt, Jolie, nor the legal firm responded when asked by the paper for comment.
