Testify!
In New York City on Feb. 1 and 2, 2017, Kim Kardashian West spoke with the French judge who's overseeing her jewelry robbery case. In France, judges in criminal cases are allowed to travel to alleged victims and interview them, especially in high-profile cases. Under French law, Kim will not be required to undergo cross-examination. Over the course of two days, Kim testified and gave intimate details of that horrific night in Paris in early October when she was gagged, bound and held at gunpoint by a group of jewel thieves. "Kim is anxious to get this behind her but remains appreciative to the French authorities who have been really thorough and she's happy justice is going to be served," a source told Us Weekly.

Airport anger
Bruce Willis is in the process of building a private airport in a rural Idaho town, and many of the residents aren't happy about it and think a little bit of bamboozling went on. Bruce isn't necessarily who the residents are angry with — their ire is directed more at the county commissioners. It was reported on Feb. 1, 2017, that several residents have sued the county, claiming Camas County commissioners illegally amended zoning ordinances for the Hollywood star's airport, which is partially completed and features a 8,500-foot dirt runway. The plaintiffs insist the land is meant for agricultural use, not private jets.

Restraining order
Reality star Bethenny Frankel got a restraining order against ex-husband Jason Hoppy this week after he was arrested for allegedly stalking and harassing her. On Jan. 27, 2017, police said Bethenny claimed Jason "approached her and a friend at her child's school at around 8:15 a.m. and tried to provoke a fight. He said, 'I will destroy you, you can get all the lawyers you want, you've been warned.'" Before showing up at their daughter's New York City school, Jason also allegedly sent several abusive emails to Bethenny.
Crazy spending habits?
Johnny Depp is being counter-sued by his former business managers and the allegations are explosive! The actor, who sued his old biz managers in mid-January, has a crazy spending problem, the court documents allege. They claim he spends $2 million a month, $30,000 of which goes toward his wine consumption (every. single. month.). His former managers also say they saved him from public humiliation when he couldn't foot his bills and gave him a loan. This lawsuit comes after Johnny sued the company for $25 million a few weeks ago, alleging fraud.
"Personal" burglary
Nicki Minaj's Los Angeles home was burglarized while she wasn't home, but thieves took off with nearly $200,000 in jewelry and other goods. The burglary looks "personal" and the home was "trashed," TMZ reported. "They vandalized certain items in the house … destroyed picture frames, perfume bottles, furniture … and even cut up Nicki's clothing," the report revealed, adding that there were signs of forced entry all around the home. There are no suspects in the case.
Gun incident
Model Tyson Beckford pulled a gun on a process server because he was scared, he says. Last week, the model was served at his Miami apartment in an ongoing lawsuit. Tyson said the man was very aggressive during the incident and that he felt threatened, so he pulled a gun to get the man to leave the building. A police report wasn't filed (and, for the record, Tyson owns the gun legally).
All about her son
Paula Patton has put her nasty custody battle with her ex, Robin Thicke, on ice — for now — so that she can tend to a problem with their 6-year-old son, Julian. Julian has been "acting out in troubling ways, which include hyperventilating and just 'freaking out,'" TMZ claims, adding the actress is "putting the boy in therapy to figure out what, if anything, happened to him and how to fix it." Because of all this, she won't consider a permanent custody arrangement with Robin until she gets to the bottom of Julian's issues, TMZ reports.
Drinking post-divorce
Miranda Lambert didn't really know what to do following her 2015 divorce from Blake Shelton, so she went to the bar and drank more than normal, often staying far past last call, she's revealed. Her song "Ugly Lights" from her album "The Weight of These Wings" is about that boozed-up time in her life. "I got divorced so I started drinking a little extra," she told the crowd at a bar in Chicago during an intimate performance in late January 2017. "I found myself in Midtown in Nashville three nights in a row at like last call and with the lights coming on, and I'd be sitting there. So, I wrote a song about it."
