Cruise's paunchy studio apartment exec is easily the funniest role of his fairly straight-faced career. Whether barking outlandish orders or gyrating ridiculously, Cruise's bald-pated, hairy-knuckled picture mogul is outrageously amusive. His boylike eager

Kanye West - West Ordered To Pay Late Mothers Mortgage

Rapper KANYE WEST has been ordered to pay over $600,000 (GBP300,000) to settle the mortgage on his late mother's home.

Dr Donda West died in November (07) from complications following a cosmetic surgery procedure, and the Stronger hitmaker has since been handed control of her estate.

But now West, who inherited $250,000 (GBP125,000) of assets from his mother, has also been handed a court order asking him to pay off her debts - which have been incurred by delayed payments on the late 58-year-old's Illinois condo.

West will have to settle the unpaid fees as well as interest payments, which have been mounting since his mother's sudden death.

Actor Dennis Farina hit with weapons charges

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Officials on Wednesday charged actor Dennis Farina with three counts of carrying a loaded weapon stemming from his May arrest when the former cop was stopped by airport security on his way to board a plane.


The actor, perhaps best known for playing New York Police Detective Joe Fontana on television crime series "Law & Order," faces up to 2 1/2 years in jail and $3,000 in fines if convicted on all three misdemeanor counts, a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's office said.


Late in May, the Los Angeles County District Attorney decided against filing felony charges, which would have carried stiffer penalties, and referred the case to the city attorney.


City attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said the office "felt these (misdemeanor) charges were appropriate."


Farina, 64, faces one count of carrying a weapon into a secured area, which carries a sentence of as much as six months in jail and a $1000 fine.


He also faces a second count of possession of a concealed weapon and a third count of possession of a loaded weapon in a public place. Each of those charges carries a maximum penalty of up to 1 year in jail and a $1000 fine, Mateljan said.


Farina is due to be arraigned on Thursday, but he does not have to appear in court.


The actor was a policeman in Chicago for nearly 20 years before building a Hollywood career mostly playing detectives. He has starred in movies like "Get Shorty" and "Sidewalks of New York."


On May 11, Farina was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport after he tried to get by security guards with the .22 caliber, semi-automatic pistol in his briefcase.
