A lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, for $293,961.50, "for services, goods, and/or merchandise sold and delivered by plaintiff to defendants." The suit doesn't specify what the alleged debt is for, but "Soul Train" specials have been shot on the Paramount lot. We're told it is "Soul Train" related.

IN THIS CLUB
Mariah Carey earns her sixth No. 1 on The Billboard 200 as her "E=MC2" bows on top. The Island Def Jam set moved 463,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, making it the diva's biggest debut sales week ever. It's also the highest sales week of the year, surpassing the 375,000 start of Jack Johnson's "Sleep Through the Static" in February.
Carey's last album, "The Emancipation of Mimi," also landed at No. 1 in its premiere week, moving 404,000. She is now tied with Madonna and Janet Jackson for the second most No. 1 albums among female artists. Only queen bee Barbra Streisand, with eight, is ahead of the pack. There's a good chance Madonna will add another No. 1 to her tally though, as her "Hard Candy" album drops next Tuesday (April 29).

Damn Damn Damn..Al Reynolds has hired New York disso-macher Stanford Lotwin, who handled splits for Howard Stern, the Donald, and Diana Ross, amongst others. Still, according to Reynolds' rep, Howard Bragman, Al "intends to take the high road."
Will it get ugly -- unclear. Reason for breakup -- unclear. Reason for marriage in the first place -- unclear.
Meanwhile, Al's got a busy social schedule, as in social science -- turns out he's a professor at Florida Memorial University where he's finishing off the semester.
Orlando Brown of TV's That's So Raven has been missing since early Tuesday morning, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
The 20-year-old reportedly left his manager's house around 10:20 a.m. to make a quick trip to 7-Eleven and has not been seen since. According to Brown's publicist, Elayne Rivers, he had a full day of meetings and appointments in preparation for a photo shoot Wednesday.
Rivers adds that friends and family are very concerned, as the young actor is not one to be out of touch for long, and the convenience store was within a short walking distance from his manager's home in Studio City.
Ricky Romance, Brown's close friend and manager, has been calling all local hospitals and posting MySpace bulletins repeatedly, hoping someone somewhere might have seen or heard something about his whereabouts.
Brown has several projects in the works, including a Raven spin-off show, tentatively titled The Orlando Brown Show and a second album featuring tracks with top artists Akon and Sean Kingston.
Anyone who might have any information should contact Elayne Rivers: 646-330-9700

AFTER 3.5 YEARS OF NON-SEXUAL WEDDED BLISS, STAR JONES CALLS IT QUITS
0 comments Posted by THE fly GIRL at 11:29 AM
Star Jones (46) has filed for divorce from husband of three-and-a-half years Al Reynolds (39). The filing took place on March 26 in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan. Starlet M. Jones versus Al S. Reynolds was marked as an "Uncontested Matrimonial" case by the court and the records were sealed.
In a statement, the former View co-host says, "Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."
Yesterday, New York divorce attorney Stanford Lotwin (who worked on the high profile divorces of Howard Stern, Donald Trump and Diana Ross among others) filed a notice of appearance with the courts. Upon learning of the filing, ET producers discovered the original divorce decree.
Jones married Al Reynolds at Saint Bartholomew's Church in New York City on November 13, 2004. The wedding was an extravagant affair with 500 hundred guests, three matrons of honors, 12 bridesmaids and four flower girls. The lavish nuptials came under scrutiny when Star discussed her wedding's sponsors at length on her ABC show.
Her 40th birthday is approaching, but Mariah Carey told a reporter that she has no desire to have children.
"It's hard to have kids in this world," she told the British version of OK! Magazine. "I don't think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven't thought about it."
Carey said having children would leave her feeling "violated... I know that's a kind of weird thing to say, but that's how I am.
"For now I enjoy my dog Jack's company. It's definitely because of childhood traumatic stuff. The whole not wanting to have a baby as a baby."
Carey, who is in London to promote a new album, admits she spends a lot of time babying herself. She arrived with an entourage of 15 hairdressers, bodyguards and personal stylists and commandeered every penthouse suite in Claridge's, an exclusive Mayfair hotel. Carey, who admitted to insuring her legs for $2 million, also had a $20,000 personal gym installed in her own penthouse at Claridge's.
"You gotta take care of yourself," she said. "You have to try and stay pretty, you know."
LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN! And before ya'll go sending me angry emails, I think it takes a real chick to say, "listen, I don't want kids," and that's a whole helluva lot better then just having them and resenting the big head nuccas for your stretch marks and lost dreams. I'm just sayin.

LAURENCE FISHBURNE is taking to the stage this spring in the title role of the Broadway production “Thurgood,” based on the late Supreme Court Justice and Civil Right icon, the actor is preparing to tackle one his most challenging parts to date. Ebonyjet.com recently spoke with the actor as he prepared for the role.
"With this play I portray Marshall talking about his boyhood experiences on to his appointment to the high court, so I got a chance to learn a lot more about the man then I ever knew before. For instance, I didn’t know about the role he played in Brown vs. the Board of Education. He started his journey with a goal of becoming a lawyer and ended up becoming one of the most influential men in American history. The life he led was very interesting, and I think people will find fascinating."

New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez took leave from his fellow Bronx Bombers this week for a very good reason: A-Rod became a father to another B-aby.
Rodriguez, 32, was with his wife Cynthia, 34, as she gave birth to the couple's second daughter, born Monday night in Miami, his team announced.
The baby, whose name has not been revealed, weighed 7 lbs., 2 oz., at birth, according to the Major League Baseball Web site.
"We are thrilled with the birth of our second daughter and the blessing of having two beautiful, healthy children in our lives," the happy father said in a statement.

And damn if you don't still look a mess.HOLD OFF ON SENDING KANYE A MYSPACE FRIEND REQUEST...HE & ALEXIS MIGHT NOT BE OVER

Even though Kanye West and longtime love Alexis Phifer have broken off their engagement, a close friend of the couple told me Tuesday, "I'm not convinced they are truly, totally over."
West and Phifer have been together on and off since 2002. “They have had their ups and downs," the friend said, “and, sure, things aren't working for them now. But I still think at some point Kanye will realize this is a great girl. She knew him before he had really hit it big — though he was on his way. It's the ones who were there with you, before fame hit, that make the best friends — and best partners in life."
