Movie producer Harvey Weinstein is confident of legal victory if singer Sam Moore goes through with his threat of a lawsuit over new movie Soul Men - because he insists the film is not based on the legendary star’s life.

Soul Men stars Samuel L. Jackson and late comedian Bernie Mac as an estranged R+B duo who plot their chart comeback.

Lindsay Lohan’s girlfriend Samantha Ronson has expressed her shock at the passing of a ban on same-sex marriage in California - calling the move “frightening” and “sad.”

Just over 52 per cent of those who voted on Proposition 8 opposed May’s Supreme Court ruling, which legalised same-sex unions in the state.

And Ronson is angry that voters in some states on Tuesday approved a proposition freeing battery chickens from small cages, but turned down the proposal which would have legalised gay marriage, and allowed same-sex couples to adopt.
