hNewsweek pictures Di at 50

NEW YORK

The latest Newsweek cover contains a ghostly sight: a computer-generated image of a stylish Diana, Princess of Wales, walking with Kate Middleton.

The article inside was written by Diana biographer and longtime provocateur Tina Brown. She’s also Newsweek’s editor-in-chief.

Diana was killed in a car accident in 1997 and would have turned 50 on Friday. In April, Middleton married Prince William, the oldest son of Diana and Prince Charles.

“What would she have been like?” Brown writes of Diana. “Still great-looking: that’s a given.” About the cover, a Los Angeles Times headline had a different question Tuesday: “Shocking, brilliant or just plain cheap?”

Ferrera weds longtime beau

NEW YORK

America Ferrera is a married lady.

People magazine’s website says the 27-year-old “Ugly Betty” star and longtime boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams were wed Monday night in “an intimate setting” with close friends and family in attendance.

A representative for Ferrera confirmed the report Tuesday.

Ferrera won an Emmy, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for her portrayal of Betty Suarez on ABC’s “Ugly Betty.”

The couple met at the University of Southern California when Williams cast her in his student film. They became engaged last year.

Judge docks Sheen’s wages

LOS ANGELES

A judge has ordered Charlie Sheen’s former bosses to garnish $55,000 a month for child support from any payments they make to the former “Two and a Half Men” star.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Hank Goldberg on Friday approved a request by Brooke Mueller Sheen to garnish any payments Warner Bros. Television makes to her ex-husband.

The former couple was divorced May 2, about two months after Warner Bros’ fired Sheen from “Men.” The actor and the studio have been fighting over payments ever since.

The hefty monthly payments are intended to support the Sheens’ twin sons and were part of a divorce settlement they reached this year.

Gaga sued over fundraiser

DETROIT

A lawsuit filed in Detroit claims music star Lady Gaga is misleading her fans with an online pitch for donations for victims of the Japan earthquake.

Lady Gaga’s website is selling $5 wristbands that say, “We Pray For Japan.” The website also allows people to make additional donations and says “all proceeds go directly to Japan relief efforts.”

But the lawsuit notes that sales tax and a $3.99 shipping charge are added. Detroit-area attorney Alyson Oliver believes not all money is going to help the Japanese. She wants an accounting.

An email seeking comment was left Monday with a spokesman for Lady Gaga.

The lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in Detroit. It seeks class-action status and possible refunds for people who bought wristbands.
