‘Boy Meets World’ teen heartthrob arrested

Newport Beach, Calif. – Former child star Danielle Fishel, a teen heartthrob on ABC’s “Boy Meets World,” was arrested this week on a drunken driving warrant from Los Angeles County, police said.

Fishel was arrested Thursday just before 5 a.m. after officers stopped a car she was in, said Newport Beach Sgt. James Rocker. She was released from jail shortly after her arrest.

Fishel grew up in Yorba Linda and spent more than seven years playing Topanga, the love interest of “Boy Meets World” star Ben Savage.

Chuck Norris gets tough with publisher of bio

New York – Trading karate chops for lawyers, tough guy actor Chuck Norris is taking on a new book titled “The Truth About Chuck Norris,” saying it’s a big lie and he wants to stop its distribution.

On Friday, Norris sued Penguin Group Inc. and the book’s creator, Ian Spector, saying his good image is being spoiled by a book that depicts him as callous and unlawful and which he says includes false “facts” that are sometimes racist and lewd.

In a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the actor, whose real name is Carlos Ray Norris, says the preface of the book refers to meetings between Norris and Spector, a Westbury, N.Y., resident and an undergraduate at Brown University, and the book also thanks Norris for “playing along.”

But, the lawsuit said, Norris never authorized Penguin or its Gotham Books division to use his name, image or likeness in connection with commercial sales of the book, which was published on Nov. 29.

The lawsuit said Norris told Penguin it was not authorized to publish the book but the publisher rejected Norris’ claims. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, a halt to publication and a recall of books already sold.

Kathy Hilton helping to ‘make a wish’

Los Angeles – Kathy Hilton thinks you might want to own a pair of Mel Gibson’s jeans, Dean Martin’s golf club or Tom Cruise’s autographed Ray-Ban shades.

That’s why she collected these and two dozen other items from her famous friends and put them up for sale on eBay. Money raised from the online auction will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“Christmas is my favorite time of year,” said Hilton, mom to famous daughters Paris and Nicky. “I worked with Make-A-Wish before, and I wanted to do something really special for Christmas.”

Hilton said she turned her bedroom into an office and worked the phones for a week straight, calling “different celebrities and sports figures and just seeing what I could get.”

Even she was impressed with the take, which includes a pair of Johnny Carson’s cuff links, Lucille Ball’s teacup and saucer, and an “Ocean’s Thirteen” script signed by the film’s cast.

“I love the Tom Cruise sunglasses,” Hilton said. “I would love to have any one of these things.”

The online auction ends Wednesday.
