The Paternity Test Didn't Lie: David Spade Is A Dad
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: September 5, 2008
"Rules of Engagement" star David Spade is a dad.
The comedian became a father of a baby girl born Aug. 26 in Missouri to his ex-girlfriend, Playboy Playmate Jillian Grace.
"David and Jillian have been in close contact throughout her pregnancy and he plans to go see the baby during his first break from shooting 'Rules of Engagement,'" says the actor's rep.
Spade, 44, dated Grace briefly in 2007. Earlier this year, she announced she was pregnant with the actor's baby. Spade, who is 21 years older than Grace, said he'd take responsibility if the paternity test proved he was the father of the child.
Spade has confirmed that the DNA results were positive. He is now a first-time parent.
Gene Simmons Sued Over Indy Deal
A Los Angeles man claims in a lawsuit that Gene Simmons took him for a ride on a marketing deal with the Indy Racing League.
Allan Brown on Wednesday sued Simmons and two business partners, claiming the group cut him out of a 2006 deal between the Kiss bassist and the racing league.
Brown is seeking unspecified damages and is claiming fraud and slander. His suit alleges he helped broker the deal between Simmons and the IRL, but was cut out of the contract while on a personal vacation.
He also claims Simmons and his business partners mischaracterized him as "lazy" and "rich" to racing league officials.
Simmons promoted IndyCar racing in 2006, and even co-wrote a song, "I Am Indy."
Oprah's Mom Owes $156,000, Store Says

The lawsuit says Lee told store officials she doesn't think she owes the money. A nonbinding mediation session is set for Sept. 16.
