Star Justice: Stamos Divorce Final, Kobe Headed to Trial
August 23, 2004

Inside information from the courtroom showdowns of John Stamos, Kobe Bryant, Sandra Bullock and Michael Jackson.

They met when he starred in "Full House," and their split shocked Hollywood -- now John Stamos will soon be the former spouse of Rebecca Romijn-Stamos. "Extra" has obtained the papers filed by the star seeking a split based on "irreconcilable differences." The two have said they will keep things civil and the legal papers show there is apparently no prenuptial agreement, meaning a judge will have to divide all the property. The couple was married for five years, but had no kids.

Meanwhile, the Kobe Bryant case has generated lots of talk suggesting the alleged victim might not want to testify and Kobe might not go to trial on sexual assault charges. But according to the "Celebrity Justice" TV show, the case will indeed go to trial next week. Sources say that although the District Attorney's office is less than confident they can win a conviction, the accuser is apparently adamant about telling her side of the story. The trial is expected to take about a month.

She was the nicest one on the runway in "Miss Congeniality," but in court, Sandra Bullock plays it a bit tougher. It's week two for the fight over construction of the actress’s home near Austin, Texas. The builder claims Bullock owes him millions for doing the work, but Sandra says Benny Daneshjou botched the job and overcharged her for the 10,000-square-foot lakefront home.

And finally, there’s been a shocking discovery in the Michael Jackson case. Police found a mysterious tape recording of a child's voice stashed inside a safe in the singer's bedroom. On the tape, the youngster seems to be talking on the phone and when he or she says, "I've got to go, somebody's coming," alarms sound in the background. Police found the tape when they searched Neverland Ranch last November.
