Toddler swallows Ecstasy tab

London The 2-year-old daughter of actors Jude Law and Sadie Frost swallowed part of an Ecstasy tablet and was rushed to the hospital, police said Monday.

Scotland Yard spokesman Nick Jordan said a 2-year-old girl had swallowed the pill during a children’s party Saturday at a club called Soho House, a popular spot in London’s West End which had been used the previous night as a bar and nightclub.

A police source said the girl was Iris Law, who was with her mother, Frost.

Jordan said there was no issue of neglect and added that police had no plans to take action against the parents.

He said the parents were free to consider suing Soho House, and that the police bureau that licenses clubs was investigating the presence of an illegal drug there.

Trial interrupted, again

Beverly Hills, Calif. Winona Ryder’s shoplifting trial, which was scheduled to start Monday, has been postponed until next week.

Superior Court Judge Elden Fox said the prosecutor and an attorney for the Oscar-nominated actress met Friday and agreed on the new trial date, Oct. 15, because Ryder’s attorney, Mark Geragos, had a conflict.

Ryder was arrested at the Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills on Dec. 12.

The 30-year-old is charged with second-degree burglary, grand theft, vandalism and possession of a controlled substance. She could face three years in prison if convicted.

Blake to get bail hearing

Los Angeles Actor Robert Blake, awaiting trial on charges of murdering his wife, attended a brief hearing Monday where he was granted a bail hearing and a delay in his preliminary hearing.

Superior Court Judge Lloyd Nash scheduled a hearing on Wednesday to determine whether the former “Baretta” star should be released on bail. But the judge said he would not allow any witnesses to testify.

The 69-year-old actor is accused of gunning down his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, last year outside a restaurant where they had just dined.

A preliminary hearing was reset for Dec. 11 because Blake’s attorney, Harland Braun, had a scheduling conflict.

Nothing can stop Bon Jovi album

New York Bon Jovi’s new album will hit stores this week after a federal judge denied a firm’s request to delay its release.

Universal Music Group, which will release “Bounce” on Wednesday, is being sued by DownloadCard Inc., a New York company that markets the technology behind online promotional programs.

At issue is a program, called “American XS,” that was launched Sept. 16 by Universal Music and will accompany the “Bounce” CD. DownloadCard argues the promotional material is “precisely the program” it created and offered to Universal.

Every CD of “Bounce” will come with a unique PIN code that the buyer can use to register at the band’s Web site. Then, after providing personal information including age, gender and location, the owner will be regularly notified by e-mail of “Bon Jovi exclusives.”

On Friday, a U.S. District Court judge in New York denied DownloadCard’s request for a preliminary injunction.
