Tom Cruise filed an October Lawsuit against The Hollywood Reporter, and now Bauer Media is requesting details about his divorce from Katie Holmes.

Gossip Center reports: The $50 million defamation suit against Life & Style is a result of the publishing company’s report that the “Jack Reacher” hunk abandoned his daughter, Suri, during court proceedings.

As part of the discovery process, Bauer is asking for documents including “the expectations for Cruise’s contact and visitation schedule with Suri and the terms of the divorce agreement,” as well as an evaluation of “Suri’s mental and emotional state” following her parents’ split.

For their part, Cruise’s attorneys are asking for the identities of the sources who gave the story to Life & Style, as well as their policies regarding publishing stories about Cruise.

Lindsay Lohan Appears In Court For The ‘Lying-To-The-Cops’ Case

Lindsay Lohan made an appearance in court today with her new New York attorney to plead in the case in the fact of reportedly lying to the cops.

TMZ reports: Heller is currently inside the courthouse and is expected to come out to address the media … because he can’t help himself.

Judge Stephanie Sautner couldn’t help herself during Lindsay Lohan‘s hearing this AM, quipping, “I’m glad to see you’re feeling better” — referring to the fact that she was almost a no-show because her doctor said she had an upper respiratory infection — which apparently didn’t get in the way of her shopping spree last Saturday.

Lindsay reluctantly told the judge in her criminal case she’s down with saying goodbye to longtime lawyer Shawn Holley … and put her fate in the hands of New York attorney Mark Heller, who arrived to court today with a rabbit’s foot on his bag for good luck.

A sleepy Lindsay hesitated when Judge Sautner asked if she was comfortable with the change.  Lindsay qualified her answer by telling the judge she was OK with it today, but the judge wanted to know about today and tomorrow … Lindsay said it was.

Judge Sautner gave Heller permission to rep Lindsay in the lying-to-cops case and Heller then tried to turn on the charm, telling the judge they had a NYC connection since she was once a Big Apple detective.  The judge fired back that flattery would get him nowhere fast.

The judge also laid down the ominous fact — that Lindsay could be found not guilty in the lying case, and her probation in the jewelry case could still be violated since the standard of proof is lower.

The Judge set March 1 as the next hearing.

FYI — for whoever cares, Lindsay wore Chanel to court today with Celine shades … and Louboutins on her feet, obviously.
