In Jane’s response to Bradley’s filing, she checked the little box saying she wants full physical custody of the kiddies.

Let the games begin.

Last night, this is what Ed McMahon’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star looked like just outside of the Roosevelt Hotel.

There were no flowers or no notes, just newspaper stuck to the sidewalk with some black paint or tar over his name.

Accident? Vandalism? Probably the latter–there are some crazy and mean spirited people out there. Luckily, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce cleaned it up that night and things are back to normal.

Rupert Grint has recovered from the swine flu after spending a few days in bed – and overcoming some fears.

“It was quite scary when I first found out I had swine flu,” the actor, 20, told reporters at a press conference for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in London. “I thought, ‘Am I going to die?” added Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the film. “But it was just like any other flu, really.”

The actor suffered from a sore throat after catching the virus while filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but no production days were lost, his rep said.

It was arguably the most undressed Oscar-winning role in movie history, but The Reader Best Actress Kate Winslet has nothing to hide.

“If people are noticing my boobs in a movie and saying they do what real boobs do, then that’s great,” the typically outspoken Winslet tells August’s Harper’s Bazaar, which also notes that Winslet’s bosom has even earned raves from Oprah Winfrey.

The TV queen told the actress on the air, “God bless your real breasts.”

But, as happens, all good things must come to an end. “I’ll be 34 in October. I can’t keep getting away with [nudity],” says Winslet. “There was so much of it in The Reader because the story required it, but people have seen enough of my bum and my boobs. I have to put them back.”

Harper’s also says Winslet’s legs may also face a similar expiration date – despite the good care that the star says she has always taken when it comes to herself.

“When everyone was out getting plastered, I didn’t do all of that. I was working. I was doing life,” says Winslet. “Now that I look back, I feel very lucky. I’ve never taken drugs, never been offered cocaine.”

Besides there are husband Sam Mendes and children Mia, 8, and Joe, 5, to consider.

“Romance to me is spontaneity,” Winslet insists. “It’s not diamond earrings; it’s a bunch of daffodils that’s freshly picked from the field. Or just a little thing like Sam calling me at three in the afternoon, saying, ‘I’m coming home now. I’m done for the day.’ It’s romantic because he just thought, ‘I’ll go home. I want to be with Kate and the kids.’ ”

Kendra Wilkinson has taken time away from newlywed life to defend a woman’s right to choose … her clothes.

Recently, a blogger posted photos of the Playboy Playmate, 24 – who married NFL player Hank Baskett on June 27 – dressed for the golf course in a micro-miniskirt and tank top, with a commentary about how “Dressing sexy is all about attitude.”

He then suggested a woman should walk around in “a push-up bra and half-shirt … [with] her hands cupped over her breasts.” The post concludes, “I bet Kendra feels the same way.”

Not exactly.

Wilkinson responded with a post on her personal blog, agreeing that “attitude” is important, but adding, “There’s nothing SEXIER than confidence in a woman!!!! Weight doesnt [sic] matter … at the end of the day everybody has a different standard for what turns them on. There are probably tons of men out there that find thick librarians smokin hottt! LOL.”

The former Girls Next Door star, whose first child is due in December, then notes there is a double-standard when it comes to men and women, and jokes, “Maybe men should start walking around with their hands cupped on their junk and tank tops that show off their abs … um, but only if they’re built like football players ”

Mariah Carey wishes she had done a better job performing Jackson 5′s biggest hit, “I’ll Be There,” at Michael Jackson’s memorial Tuesday at Los Angeles’ Staples Center.

In a post on her Twitter page, the singer (who wore a black Jenny Packham gown to the service) says she was just too overcome with emotion. As Carey sang the song with frequent collaborator Trey Lorenz, photos of Jackson flashed on a huge screen above them.

“Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me,” writes Carey. “I could barely keep myself from crying. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me.”

“One thing I know is, we will never really have to say goodbye to MJ. His legacy lives on through his music and the millions of people. He inspired with his timeless music. He will be forever in our hearts,” she adds.

Michael Jackson’s death certificate has been released without a listed cause of death and a coroner said investigators are still testing the singer’s brain.

Public health officials issued the death certificate on Tuesday, the same day public and private memorials were held in Los Angeles. The cause of death is listed as “deferred.”

Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said Jackson’s brain, or at least part of it, was still being held by investigators and would be returned to the family for interment once neuropathology tests were completed.

“As soon as we are done with the brain, we will return it,” Winter said. “There is a whole series of tests that will be done.”

It is not uncommon for the coroner to hold on to a brain or samples from it. Winter said families sometimes delay burying a loved one until after the brain has been returned, but he had received no word from the Jackson family about their intentions.

“The last I heard, they are not burying the body yet,” Winter said.

Police and coroner’s officials continue to probe what killed the 50-year-old singer on June 25.

On the certificate, Jackson’s occupation is listed as a musician. He is described as a high school graduate and divorced. The information provided for the document was given by Jackson’s sister, La Toya, one of several family members who rushed to the hospital where Jackson was pronounced dead.

The document doesn’t state where Jackson will be buried.
