  • Jaleel White, who played Urkel on Family Matters, is under investigation for allegedly punching his girlfriend in one of her breast implants while they were driving on the highway and their baby was in the car.
  • According to sources, the police report says that when they got home he slapped her and pushed her into a toilet so hard it broke.

  • A friend says Lindsay didn’t attend her birthday party last night because she’s, “beside herself. She’s with her mom, sister, assistant.

  • Lindsay wants $1 million for her first post-jail interview. “Financially, it’s the best thing that could have ever happened to Lindsay,” says a magazine source. “It’s no secret that Lindsay has been in financial trouble for a while. She will earn more money from her post-prison interview than she ever earned acting.” [Popeater]
