It looks like Lindsay Lohan has one less thing to worry about as she adjusts to the rehab life!

LiLo was in the rare position of being on the GOOD side of some legal news, as she has apparently settled a lawsuit with injured paparazzo Grigor Balyan outside of court!

For those of you who need a refresher, the photographer sued the troubled starlet after her assistant ran over his foot while he was trying to snap some pics back in 2010!

OUCH!

It probably doesn’t help that

Remember that sneaky, sneaky, MAJOR life insurance policy Joe Simpson took out on his daughter?

Well, turns out he WON'T get to keep it to himself!

In his divorce with Tina Simpson, Joe will have to split Jessica Simpson’s life insurance policy in half.

Guess keeping it secret didn't work!

The exes have finalized their divorce, and it seems they’re keeping things pretty equal in the end.

Not only will the $4.5 million life insurance policy be divided equally, but the parents will also split interest on Jessica and Ashlee Simpson’s management fees!

They’ve also figured out a satisfactory way to

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries may have finally settled on their divorce, but it doesn’t sound like the drama is over just yet!

The Brooklyn Nets basketball player looked like he was ready to take on his ex-wife head-on in court, but the two were able to come to an agreement behind closed doors without letting things get too messy.

So what led to Kris’s change of heart? If you believe what we are hearing, he apparently felt sorry for her!

A source close to the baller revealed:

“Yes, he was angry at Kim for the way their marriage ended and he truly did feel defrauded by her and the show. But lately, especially in recent weeks, he just feels sorry for her. She’s pregnant and obviously under a lot of stress. He didn’t want to be part of it any more.”

Hmmm. We're having a bit of a hard time buying what this source is selling. But to carry on…

The source also said that Kris was worried that if the divorce was dragged out further, court dates could

The marriage lasted 72 days.

The divorce battle? 536 days.

But Kim Kardashian's dream to reach a divorce agreement before she gave birth finally came true on Friday, as predicted by the source report we discussed with you on Thursday.

Kris Humphries apparently realized he was losing the case, and would most likely come out of it owing more money than before, so sources say they reached a confidential settlement to end the mess once and for all.

The agreement will be announced

Thank GAWD!

We're pretty sure we want this mess over with as much as she does!

After what seems like an eon of Kris Humphries dwelling over his failed marriage with Kim Kardashian, insisting the judge should grant an annulment based on his accusations of fraud, there might finally be a settlement in the works.

According to sources close to the situation, Kris is finally opening his eyes to the fact that he and his team have little to no evidence that the marriage was a fraud.

With all the money spent (reportedly $300k each) and with $200k left to spend if they do go to court for the big D, Kris apparently realizes he could lose

This has certainly been a long time coming, but we're relieved to see that it's finally been resolved!

We were horrified to report back in August of 2010 that Samantha Ronson's pet bulldog, Cadillac, escaped from her West Hollywood apartment, only to maul and murder her neighbor's maltese Tiger!

After the incident, Cadillac was permanently banned from the area of El Lay, and Tiger's owner, Farnouche Kamran, sued the DJ, their apartment complex, and the landlord for $750,000…but now, it appears that both parties have managed to settle the incident outside of court!

And SamRo must certainly be

It looks like Tom Cruise is finally catching a break, as a judge dismissed a $5 million wiretapping lawsuit against the actor.

If this case comes as new to you, it’s probably because it allegedly happened over a decade ago!

Back in 2001, editor of Bold magazine Michael Davis Sapir offered a $500,000 reward for proof that the actor was gay. Tom sued him for $100 million, but the two sides eventually reached a settlement behind closed doors before things got too nasty and everything went back to normal. At least until 2009.

Fast forward 8 years later and Michael turned the tables on Tom and claimed he and his lawyer Bert Fields used their Mission Impossible skills hired a private investigator to spy on him and tap his phones!

It all sounds a bit too crazy to us, but at the end of the day it didn’t matter because the judge threw the case out because the allegations weren’t made within the statute of limitations. For those of you who are a bit rusty on your legal lingo or don’t feel like going to Wikipedia, that basically means Sapir ran out of time!

For now, it looks like Tom's spying abilities are best served for the big screen!
