colling Lawyer Hailey Gassman and Jon Gosselin camp's a Title 'ludicrous' and ridiculous' in break in

The war of words between Jon Gosselin and Hailey Glassman continues following the trashing of an apartment they shared, with lawyers for both sides lashing out.

After Gosselin's lawyer boldly told RadarOnline Monday that Glassman was "going to jail, it's as simple as that," her lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, fired back.

"For an attorney to go out there and say someone's going to jail when they're not even arrested – that's just irresponsible," Ovadia told People.com.

"That is the most ludicrous, ridiculous, unnecessary statement I have ever in my life heard."

Glassman admits she took items from the apartment, but only ones that belonged to her. She had been splitting rent on the W. 72nd St. pad with Gosselin and they were living there as a couple until they split several weeks ago.

Since then, Gosselin has fallen behind on the rent. Ovadia says he told Glassman "the apartment would be padlocked because he had not been paying rent, and she should go there and take whatever she wanted."

As for reports that Gosselin's bed, clothes, rug, and curtains were shredded and a note calling him a "cheater" was found stuck to his dresser with a butcher knife, Glassman's lawyer says "I don't believe there's anything to be concerned about. And I don't know of any notes. Again, I know nothing about any butcher knife. I can't even add to that nonsense."

Glassman's camp has implied the incident is a publicity stunt.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told the Daily News on Monday, "The investigation is going forward. I know there are some allegations about whether or not it was staged. The detectives are looking at this incident."

Gosselin's lawyer, Mark Heller, has denied that his client has anything to do with the break-in or is attempting to frame Glassman.

To Hillary Clinton Promise $100B Developing Countries

COPENHAGEN (www.nytimes.com) -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has promised the United States will help raise $100 billion annually by 2020 to assist poor countries in coping with climate change as long as America's demands for a global warming pledge are met.
Clinton's announcement, made during a packed news conference, represents a major breakthrough in the U.N.-led talks, which had all but ground to a halt last night. But Clinton emphasized that the money is only on the table so long as fast-growing nations like China and India accept binding commitments that are open to international inspection and verification. If other countries don't bend, she warned, the poorest countries will suffer.

"In the absence of an operational agreement that meets the requirements that I outlined, there will not be that financial agreement, at least from the United States," Clinton warned. And, she added: "Without that accord, there won't be the kind of joint global action from all of the major economies we all want to see, and the effects in the developing world could be catastrophic."

The pledged amount is less than what the European Union had laid out as necessary to help the poorest countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America prepare for climate disasters and develop low-fossil-fuel economies. Clinton said the funding would come from a mix of public and private financing, including revenue raised from the auctioning of emission allowances under a possible U.S. cap-and-trade system still under development on Capitol Hill.

Clinton did not go into many other details, leaving it unclear precisely what the U.S. share of the $100 billion would be. U.N. climate chief Yvo de Boer said he is "looking keenly forward" to learning what that contribution will be.

De Boer and others said Clinton's announcement has helped get the lurching and sputtering train of international climate talks back on track.

After a long stall, some movement

"Hold tight and mind the doors. The cable car is moving again," a smiling de Boer said moments after Clinton's announcement.

Added Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, "There's a feeling among negotiators that now we have to go into business, and now we have to be flexible, and now we have to try as hard as we can to make real compromises."
U.S. environmental groups and House Democrats heaped praise on the announcement, while Republican staffers warned of the political difficulties back home in selling such a vast contribution as the economy reels.
"I think it's very essential to the success of how we go forward," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told E&E as she arrived at the Bella Center. "We'll see what the participation will be of other nations, what's certainly appropriate for us to play a leading role in it. So I salute her."

Jennifer Hudson : Last Tourist City Chicago for Christmas

Jennifer Hudson : Last Tourist City Chicago for Christmas

We all know what Jennifer Hudson can do, and she'll no doubt do just that in her first, hourlong television special, "Jennifer Hudson: I'll Be Home for Christmas," which airs Monday.

ABC didn't offer a preview of the special but did pass along three snippets: Hudson lip-syncing a gospeled-up "Silent Night," while seated (rather oddly) alone in the bow of a boat passing under Chicago River bridges; Hudson in personable, girl-next-door mode ushering the cameras into her high school, Dunbar Vocational Career Academy on the South Side, and Hudson singing "Oh Come, All Ye Faithful" a cappella in front of a fireplace with four other women whom she eventually blows out of the room.

ABC also promises that Hudson duets with Michael Buble on "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and "Let It Snow," and sings "The Christmas Song" and "O Holy Night" on the special, which marks her return to Chicago "to share childhood memories of the music, people and places that set the stage for her phenomenal success."

What's not mentioned is how or whether the special will address the tragic subtext of her hometown visit, which comes little more than a year after mother, brother and nephew were murdered in Englewood, allegedly by her sister's estranged husband. Hudson since has become engaged to former reality TV star David Otunga, given birth to a boy and made various high-profile appearances (the Super Bowl, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Michigan Avenue) while guarding her privacy regarding the turbulence of the last 14 months.

That's all within her rights, of course; she deserves as much space as she desires. But going home for the holidays is a loaded situation for most regular folks in a normal year, so one can only imagine the fierce undercurrents affecting Hudson as she chooses to venture "Home for Christmas" now in such a public way.
