Chace Crawford Marijuana Possession Case Dismissed
(TMZ) Chace Crawford just won a big victory in a small Texas town, after a judge dismissed his marijuana possession case.

Chase was arrested in June, 2010 in Plano, Texas, after cops found an unlit joint in a car in which he was a passenger.

As TMZ first reported ... Chace cut a deal with prosecutors, in which the charge would be dismissed if he stayed clean for one year and performed community service.

Britney Spears' Dad's Sweet Deal For Femme Fatale Tour
(TMZ) Britney Spears' daddy will get more than a million bucks -- possibly a lot more -- for his work as the manager of Britney's Femme Fatale Tour.

TMZ has obtained legal docs in Britney's conservatorship case, which show Britney's overall manager, Larry Rudolph, wants to give up 2% of his cut to Jamie, because daddy Spears has done such a great job -- Larry's cut is 10% of the gross.

We've learned Jamie has not gotten an extra penny for his work as Tour Manager -- a position he's held since February.

According to the docs, Jamie negotiated a sweet deal for Britney with Live Nation, the tour promoter. He's also coordinated Britney's personal schedule, and supervised her arrivals and departures. He's handled finances, managed Britney's security to protect her from the paparazzi and made 200 - 400 calls and other communications a day on Brit's behalf.

Even though Larry Rudolph is voluntarily giving 2% of his cut to Jamie, it still has to be approved by the court, but that's just a formality. more on this story

Mel Gibson Denies Payment To Oksana's Son
(TMZ) Mel Gibson is taking issue with legal documents filed by Oksana Grigorieva's lawyer -- which state that Mel paid $100,000 to Oksana's son Alexander Dalton, the son she had with actor Timothy Dalton.

Mel's rep tells us, "The deal between Mel and OG is exactly what was set forth on the record, in open court, on August 31, 2011" -- when Mel agreed to pay Oksana $250,000 as part of their custody settlement agreement.

His rep continues, "Mel is paying exactly the sums set forth to OG -- and is paying no additional sums to Alexander Dalton or anyone else."

"How OG chooses to have any sums due from Mel allocated is her business."

But as we previously reported, TMZ has obtained legal documents filed by Oksana's lawyer -- which claim, "Of the first $250,000 paid ... $100,000 belongs to Alexander Dalton who is waiving his rights to sue Mel Gibson and must be compensated for this to be lawful."

The docs continue, "If Alexander Dalton does not get his $100,000.00, he cannot waive his rights to sue. Mr. Gibson negotiated for that as a part of the settlement and is entitled to the benefit of his bargain." more on this story
