Hilary Duff’s Dad In The Slammer

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Bob Duff has been sentenced to 10 days in jail after a Texas judge found him to be in contempt.

It all started when Hilary Duff’s parents who are going through a bitter divorce disagreed on her swank birthday party planned for this September 28 when Hilary turns 21.

Susan Duff wanted her ex to pay $25,000 towards the party, the judge ended up ordering him to pay $12,500. Millionaire or not you would think that Bob Duff has the right to say no to Hilary, what a spoiled brat.

Rob Lowe and his wife Sheryl spent months in the top news headlines after they sued their former nanny Jessica Gibson in April 2008. She in turn countersued the Lowe’s claiming that the couple had been sexually inappropriate towards her during the time of her employment.

The Lowe’s claim that the nanny attempted to extort money from them. The judge dismissed several claims on both sides and soon both the Lowe’s and Gibson were claiming victory. Rob Lowe is now being sued by a second former nanny. You can read more details on the law suit and accusations here.
