Bullock cancels appearance; Accused Trump stalker arrested; $35M lawsuit filed against Lady Gaga

Bullock cancels appearance

LOS ANGELES - Sandra Bullock canceled her appearance at the London premiere of "The Blind Side" days after Internet reports alleged she was having trouble in her marriage and that she had left the couple's Southern California home.

Calls and e-mails to representatives for Bullock and her husband, celebrity motorcycle builder Jesse James, weren't immediately answered.

People.com said Bullock had left the couple's home just days before a report of infidelity by her husband surfaced.

The couple were last seen together publicly at the Oscars. While Bullock didn't specifically thank James in her acceptance speech for best actress, they walked hand-in-hand on the red carpet, and he attended numerous award shows with her leading up to the Oscars.

The 45-year-old actress said Wednesday in a statement by Warner Bros. UK that she cannot attend next Tuesday's premiere of "The Blind Side" for "unforeseen personal reasons." She canceled her appearance almost two weeks after winning the Oscar for her performance in the movie.

Bullock went on to apologize for canceling her commitment and to thank people for their support of the film, which has made nearly $253 million domestically.

She and James were married in July 2005.

If Bullock and her husband have parted, it continues a long chain of broken relationships for best actress Academy Award winners.

Just in the past year, Susan Sarandon (winner in 1996) and Kate Winslet (2009) separated from their respective mates. Reese Witherspoon, Halle Berry and Julia Roberts are among the winners from the past decade who within a year of their victories had parted from their then-companions.

Accused Trump stalker arrested

RENO, Nev. - A 27-year-old man accused of stalking Ivanka Trump has been arrested in Reno, Nev.

Police say Justin Massler was arrested Tuesday on a New York warrant alleging he used the Internet to stalk the daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump.

Twenty-eight-year-old Ivanka Trump is the co-host of "Celebrity Apprentice" and a vice president at her father's real estate company.

Massler described himself in a blog posting as "a celebrity stalker who is obsessed with Ivanka Trump."

Massler had been living on the East Coast and visiting his mother in Reno. His mother, Randee Massler, says he has only written about Trump on the Internet and hasn't come close to her.

He remains held in the Washoe County Jail in Reno.

$35M lawsuit filed against Lady Gaga

NEW YORK - A songwriter and music producer says in a New York City lawsuit pop star Lady Gaga squeezed him out of her lucrative career after he co-wrote some of her songs, came up with her stage name and helped get her record deal.

Rob Fusari filed a $35 million lawsuit Wednesday against the Grammy Award-winning singer. He says his protege and former girlfriend ditched him as her career soared.

Fusari's lawsuit says he has credits on such hits as Will Smith's "Wild, Wild West" and Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious." It says a friend steered the piano-playing singer to him in March 2006, when she was known by her real name, Stefani Germanotta.

Lady Gaga spokesman Dave Tomberlin hasn't responded to an e-mail sent Thursday seeking comment.

The lawsuit was filed in a Manhattan state court.
