Unbelievable. Nicole Richie has been released from a California jail after serving just 82 minutes of a four-day sentence for driving under the influence of drugs. The mum-to-be checked into jail in the L.A suburb of Lynwood at 3.15pm local time on Thursday, was released at 4.37pm "based on her sentence and federal guidelines", Sheriff's Deputy Maribel Rizo said, without elaborating further.

Another incredible ruling. Lindsay Lohan reached a plea deal on misdemeanor DUI and drug charges that will find her spending one day in jail, serving 10 days of community service and completing a drug-treatment program. She was placed on 36 months probation and will be required to complete an 18-month alcohol-education program. She must also finish a three-day county coroner program that will require her to talk to victims of drunken drivers. [LL-24hr]

Bjork has revealed that she left the UK because fame was stunting her creativity. The unique star recorded her breakthrough album 'Debut' while she was living in London, but moved back to her native Iceland in 1996. She said: "I was living in England and I was offered the chance to be an A-lister. Normally I spend a lot of my time solitaire. It just felt a bit weird, because I have to be able to write music, and when I walk down the street I have this music going on in my head. That's my life, and it felt like a thousand people had moved in there and they were leaving their dirty socks around, so I couldn't write music." Too many earthling intruders, eh?

Screen classic 'The Wizard Of Oz' is to remade by comic book writer Todd McFarlane. The 1939 classic is to get a gritty makeover in the new version, which will be released to coincide with the original's 70th anniversary. McFarlane, who created violent comic book series Spawn and has written for Spider-Man in the past, says, "My pitch was 'How do we get the people who went to The Lord Of The Rings to embrace Oz.' I want to create an interpretation that has the 2007 wow factor." Josh Olson has been handed the scripting duties.
