Sharon Stone Loses Custody Of Son

Hollywood star Sharon Stone has lost physical custody of 8-year-old son Roan to former husband Phil Bronstein.

Entertainment Tonight is reporting that the ongoing custody battle between former spouses Sharon Stone and Phil Bronstein has come to a sad end for the Hollywood actress.


Court documents detailing a Sept. 12 custody hearing show that it was decided that Phil Bronstein “shall have permanent sole physical custody of child.”

“Court finds that Respondent (Sharon Stone) failed to meet her burden of proof and denies Respondent's (Sharon Stone's) request for modification of custody,” the papers read, as quoted by ET.

The order is permanent unless there is a change of circumstances. Sharon Stone will not be completely deprived of her son’s companionship, as her visitation rights, as well as holiday and vacation rights remain in place.

Sharon Stone married newspaper executive Phil Bronstein in 1998; the union ended in divorce in early 2004. They had in the meantime adopted Roan, now 8. Following the divorce, Stone adopted two more children, son Laird, in 2005, and son Quinn in 2006. The two younger boys are now 4 and 2, respectively.

According to Entertainment Tonight, custody of son Roan was very different a year ago, as court papers dating from Oct. 2007 show that the former spouses had “joint legal and physical custody” at that time.

The Associated Press adds that the judge ruled that Bronstein’s home is more stable and structured. The parents much agree upon tutoring activities they wish to enroll Roan in and the child is to have Sharon Stone’s telephone number programmed into his cell and home telephones.

Lindsay Lohan's Dad Wants Samantha Ronson Out of Her Life

Lindsay Lohan's newly confirmed girlfriend is to blame for her personal and professional problems, her father Michael Lohan says.

Michael, in an e-mail to Pop Tarts, wrote that he has reason to believe that recent blog posts condemning him on his daughter's Web site were actually written by celeb DJ Samantha Ronson, even though they were said to have been written by Lindsay.

Michael also said he was in deep conversation on the phone with his daughter recently and heard Sam in the background enticing her to hang up.

Last week, Lindsay hit back at "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis over his comment that Ronson was "controlling" Lohan. Michael Lohan and Francis both have said that they don't believe Lindsay is gay.

Michael says Joe is a "good person" who cares deeply about Lindsay.

"He wasn't a bad guy when he flew Lindsay around on his jet, opened the doors to his home or tried to help, was he?" Michael said. "Of course not, because SaMANtha wasn't around."


Lohan said his baby girl could do much better when it comes to finding a lover.

"There is a lot more to Samantha then meets the eyes, not that what we see is too pleasing anyway! I mean, what's with this ... "person"??? Look at the way she "dresses"? Once more, she uses her middle finger more than she uses words! Personally, I think she is dark, hideous and a disgusting representation of humanity," Lohan wrote.

"God will weed her out of Lindsay's life and at that time, you will finally see Lindsay back in the place where she belongs," he continued. "Not doing independent films, guest starring on [a] TV show, being a guest judge on a reality TV show or making appearances at Samantha's DJ gigs. Is this the Lindsay we all knew and loved before Samantha came into her life? No!!! When she got out of Cirque Lodge everything looked good until Samantha came on the 'scene.'"

Although Dina Lohan, Lindsay's mother, publicly praises Samantha, Michael said that privately, his ex-wife certainly does not. He said Dina called him two weeks ago to say Lindsay was very upset as Ronson was threatening to write a tell-all book about their private life. (Michael claims to have the conversation on tape.) Dina could not be reached for comment.

But the one thing everyone wants to know is why Michael continues to talk about Lindsay's personal business.

"Lindsay is my daughter. I am her father first and not a friend or an enabler," he responded. "After the death of my dad, (her grandfather) and all the things I continue to hear and see, I am compelled to speak out. The Lindsay I knew never would have missed his wake or funeral. But since being around Samantha, she has become a different person.

"If Samantha or 'anyone' wants to blog me or has anything to say, let them, to my face. Otherwise, if they want to be the sneaky, lying, parasites they are, I am ready to really spill the beans, and I won't stop until this dark, evil nemesis is out of Lindsay's life."

Reps for Ronson and Lindsay did not respond for comment.

Meanwhile, on Monday night, the duo offered what seemed to be the first public confession that they are lovers. Loveline radio host Ted Stryker asked how long they've been together, and Lindsay responded, "A long, long time."

Spears' 'Womanizer' Single Delayed

Britney Spears' career comeback has experienced a slight setback -- her new song, "Womanizer," has had its radio premiere pushed back until the end of this month.

The pop star's eagerly anticipated new single was due to hit the airwaves in the U.S. on Monday, but a snippet of the track was leaked online by a radio station in Tennessee late last week.

And now bosses at Jive Records' Zomba Label Group have delayed the release of the tune until September 29 at the earliest.

According to online reports, the current mix of "Womanizer," the first release from Spears' forthcoming album "Circus," was not the finished version.

A source tells E! Online, "The mix was not finalized."

The leaked song has now been removed from the Nashville radio station's Web site.
