Hate what ya did with it
Country singer Trisha Yearwood doesn't love "Love What Ya Do to Me," a new duet recording featuring her voice.
Yearwood
Yearwood has filed a federal lawsuit in Nashville asking that the recording be destroyed and seeking an unspecified amount of money in damages.
The lawsuit claims that Yearwood recorded the song for producer Jeff Teague in 1990, before she became a star. It was intended for use in pitching the song to other singers, not as a commercial release, according to the lawsuit.
New vocals by song co-writer Michael J. Young have been added to make the song a duet, and a CD containing the song called "Best of Both Worlds" is being sold on the Internet.
Lauren Holly weds
Actress Lauren Holly has wed a Canadian-born investment banker, her third husband, the Toronto Sun reported Sunday.
The 37-year-old American actress, the ex-wife of comedian Jim Carrey, married Toronto native Francis Greco during a ceremony on Saturday in Toronto.
Before her 1996-97 marriage to Carrey, Holly was married to Anthony Quinn's son, Danny, from 1991-93.
Family feud
Dolly Parton and her siblings are headed to court to settle a dispute over the competency of their 77-year-old mother.
The singer and nine brothers and sisters filed a lawsuit in November in Sevier County, Tenn., seeking to have Avie Parton declared incompetent so one of them could be appointed to handle her estate. They claim she is showing signs of dementia.
But two siblings twins Freida and Floyd Parton have sided with their mother. Attorney Dennis Francis says Avie Parton is capable of taking care of her affairs.

At issue are cash and property worth about $1 million. A trial date hasn't been set.
Needless tragedy
More than three years after her death in a Paris car accident, Princess Diana continues to stir controversy. This time, one of the world's leading heart surgeons says doctors could have saved her life.
Christiaan Barnard, who performed the world's first heart transplant operation, says in an upcoming book that he can no longer keep quiet about his views of events surrounding the crash, according to Britain's Sunday Telegraph.
"Her death stunned me all the more as I was able to get a look at the particulars of the autopsy findings very soon after her death," he writes in the book, to be published in May. "I think she could have been saved, because according to the report which I have seen, she died of internal bleeding.
"What I want to say here is that, if Princess Diana had been brought to the hospital within 10 minutes of the accident, something which should easily have been possible, and, once there, had been cared for properly, she could have survived."
Diana, her companion Dodi Fayed and their driver Henri Paul all died as a result of the crash on Aug. 31, 1997. Diana was initially treated at the scene and reached the hospital between one and two hours later.
