Howard divorce decree overturned

LOS ANGELES -- A judge overturned Terrence Howard's divorce settlement with his second wife Monday, finding the actor was coerced into signing the settlement by her threats to leak private details. Superior Court Judge Thomas Trent Lewis' ruling means Howard and his ex-wife, Michelle Ghent, will have to renegotiate the financial terms of their divorce. The ruling also ends, for now, any claims Ghent has to Howard's earnings from the hit TV show "Empire." Howard contended he signed a 2012 settlement to end his marriage to Ghent out of fear she would leak private details about him, including phone sex recordings with other women and a video of him dancing naked in a bathroom.

Prosecutor: Nude sent to O'Donnell daughter

TOMS RIVER, N.J. -- The owner of a home where Rosie O'Donnell's teenage daughter was found last week sent the girl a nude photo, prosecutors said. Steven Sheerer, 25, is accused of having inappropriate online communications with 17-year-old Chelsea O'Donnell. Sheerer, of Barnegat, faces charges of child endangerment and distribution of obscenity to a minor. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Chelsea was found at the home Aug. 18, hours after her mother posted a statement online saying the girl had left home in South Nyack, New York, a week earlier.
