Rob Lowe Nannygate saga ends, but a second rumbles on

The long-running saga between Hollywood actor Rob Lowe and his family’s former nanny has ended after both sides requested their lawsuits be dismissed. The West Wing and Brothers and Sisters star had sued Jessica Gibson in April last year, claiming she tried to extort money out of him through blackmail. But the former nanny countersued, accusing the actor of groping her and exposing himself during the seven years she was employed by him. But last month, after much legal wrangling, both parties decided to drop all legal action, although Lowe still faces legal action from a second nanny, Laura Boyce, who sued for wrongful dismissal and unpaid wages after the actor filed a lawsuit claiming that the former nanny broke a confidentiality agreement.

US Octomon to get her own television reality show

The Southern California woman nicknamed Octomom after giving birth to the world's longest-surviving set of octuplets has signed a deal to star in a reality television series. Nadya Suleman, who gave birth to the six boys and two girls in January and also has six other children, has agreed to be filmed for a proposed television show to be broadcast in the United States. The show will apparently be modeled on a successful television series in Denmark that is documenting the lives of four children from the day they were born until they become adults.
