Jamie Foxx and stylist settle lawsuit over fees

LOS ANGELES — Jamie Foxx needs no help getting dressed for trial — the actor has apparently reached a settlement with a former stylist who sued him.

Documents filed Wednesday in Los Angeles show that attorneys for stylist Stacy Young and Foxx have reached an undisclosed agreement. Young helped Foxx primp for the 2006 BET Awards and a press junket for the film “Miami Vice.”

Her lawsuit claimed that she was never paid for the work or her costs.

Marissa Jaret Winokur getting ready for baby

NEW YORK — It’s crunch time for Marissa Jaret Winokur, who is preparing for the birth of her first child.

The baby boy, scheduled to be born July 22, is being carried by a surrogate mother. Winokur, who had cervical cancer seven years ago, and writer-husband Judah Miller plan to name the baby Zev.

The 35-year-old actress was busy unpacking boxes of baby furniture, she told The Associated Press in a phone interview from her Los Angeles home Thursday.

“I said to my husband, I’m like, ‘You thought you were gonna get away with not living with a pregnant woman’ but I’m the most hormonal — like every commercial makes me cry,” she said. “I’m like, oh my god, we’re having a baby!”

Winokur, who won a Tony in 2003 for her role in “Hairspray,” said she had “never been this overwhelmed about anything!”

Siegfried and Roy welcome new tiger cubs to Vegas

LAS VEGAS — Siegfried and Roy might want to move the good furniture into storage for a while.

The famed illusionists welcomed five new tiger cubs to their exotic habitat on the Las Vegas Strip on Thursday, a move Siegfried Fischbacher said would be therapeutic for Roy Horn, who was critically injured when he was mauled by a 380-pound white Bengal tiger onstage in 2003.

“That gives him a reason to get up in the morning,” Fischbacher said.

Horn did not answer questions from reporters but played with the small tigers, holding them for the cameras, kissing them and nibbling on one’s small ear. The playful, 15-pound, 6-week old cubs were brought to Las Vegas three weeks ago to be part of the longtime duo’s animal breeding program.

The 31‚Ñ2-hour event featured clips from Beatty’s movies and taped tributes from Barbra Streisand, Gene Hackman, Goldie Hawn and John McCain.
