Celebrity Court Watch - Sean Penn has reached a plea deal in a case in which he was videotaped kicking a photographer, a prosecution spokesman tells ABC News.

The report reveals the Hollywood actor and activist "was sentenced to three years of informal probation and ordered to perform 300 hours of community service."
More courts, crime and celebrities...A New York man has been acquitted on charges that he burgled the home of actress Amanda Peet (pictured). Henry Santos, 27, was found not guilty of raiding the home of Peet and screenwriter husband David Friedman in October 2009.

The couple were not at the apartment in the trendy Tribeca neighborhood when the break-in happened.
The couple's baby-sitter testified that she ran into Santos after he allegedly opened a skylight and stole a box of jewels.
Defense lawyers told a jury that the nanny had picked the wrong man out of a police line-up. "The cops framed me. I had nothing to do with the situation," Santos told the New York Daily News. "She's a celebrity. They had to make an arrest."

Amanda Peet couldn't stop "fighting" with her husband over the name of their baby.

The '2012' actress - who celebrated the arrival of her second daughter, Molly June, with her screenwriter husband David Benioff last month - admitted they were so confused about what to call their newborn that it was only when they had to sign official documents that a decision was made.

Speaking to US TV host David Letterman, she said: "We were fighting about it a lot and you can't leave the hospital until you sign the paper with the name so we got right up to the point where the nurse was trying to usher us to leave.

"We still couldn't choose between Maya June and Molly June. So finally David tore off two little pieces of paper, wrote the names on each paper, and put them behind his back."

Amanda Peet debuts baby girl in Us Magazine. Amanda Peet's publicist says the actress has given birth in New York to her second child, a daughter she named Molly June Benioff.

Peet and her screenwriter husband David Benioff are also the parents of 3-year-old Frances.

"Mother and daughter are doing great," Peet's representative told People.com.

Peet's film credits include "2012," "Syriana," "Something's Gotta Give" and "The Whole Nine Yards." Read more and see a much larger photo at Us Magazine here. (c) tPC (c) UPI

Happy Mother's day to Hollywood actress Amanda Peet.  The new mom has debuted her little girl and also showed off pictures of her baby daughter Molly June - just two weeks after giving birth.

The 2012 star had to pull out of appearing with David Letterman at the end of April when her baby was born, but amazed the host by coming back so soon.
Although she was ostensibly on the show to promote her new movie Please Give, the 38-year-old star fought back hysterical laughter when she tried to plug it and then struggled to talk about anything other than her newborn.

She told Letterman: "This is our first video of Molly June, she's a few days old. It breaks my heart. "This is the video where we realise she's in the state of life where you basically think that everything is a boob."
Letterman quipped: "So that's just a stage is what your saying?" Amanda is married to screenwriter David Benioff and they also have another daughter, Frances Pen, 3.

Amanda Peet has given birth to her second daughter.

The '2012' actress - who already has three-year-old Frances with her screenwriter husband David Benioff - celebrated the early arrival of daughter Molly June on Monday night (19.04.10).

Her representative said: "Mother and daughter are doing great."

The 38-year-old star had to cancel a scheduled appearance on David Letterman's TV talk show where she was due to promote her upcoming film, 'Please Give', because she started experiencing labour pains.

Amanda - who married David three years ago - recently spoke of her excitement at the family's newest addition but admitted the couple were unable to agree on a name.

Amanda Peet has joined the cast of the Jack Black-led adventure comedy, Gulliver’s Travels.

Based (very) loosely on Jonathan Swift’s classic tale, the updated Gulliver’s sees Black play ace travel writer, Lemuel Gulliver, who goes on assignment to the Bermuda Triangle and ends up on the island of Lilliput, populated by people so tiny they could come as free gifts in boxes of cereal.

Peet, a fine light comedienne, will play Black’s editor, and potential love interest. She joins the already-cast Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, who turned down the role of the Black Widow in Iron Man 2 because of a scheduling conflict with this. Only time will tell etc. etc. etc.

Rob Letterman, co-director of Monsters Vs. Aliens and therefore a man who knows his way around good gags about size discrepancies, is directing the Fox movie, which started filming last month.
 

Roadside Attractions Friday announced that it, along with Lionsgate, has acquired the U.S. rights to the 3D animated feature film, "Battle for Terra."

Featuring the voice talents of Evan Rachel Wood, Luke Wilson, Justin Long, Amanda Peet, Chris Evans, Dennis Quaid and Brian Cox, the Snoot Entertainment movie is set to open in U.S. theaters May 1.

The film marks the feature directorial debut of acclaimed short filmmaker Aristomenis Tsirbas. It is the first in a series of animated features produced by Snoot.

"We at Roadside could not be more excited to be releasing 'Battle for Terra,'" Roadside Attractions Co-President Eric d'Arbeloff said in a statement. "Not only is it a thrilling piece of entertainment for younger audiences, its themes of tolerance and environmental awareness will resonate with viewers of all ages. Anyone interested in 3D animation and digital artistry will be stunned."

"'Battle for Terra' turns sci-fi convention on its head by telling its story from the perspective of the aliens whose planet is invaded by humans fleeing a dying Earth. The film made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, and has since thrilled festival audiences worldwide," Roadside said in a news release. "The film has been honored for its environmental awareness themes and stunning animation with the Silver Griffin Award at the 2008 Giffoni Film Festival; the Grand Prize for Best Animated Feature at the 2008 Ottawa International Animation Festival; and the Crystal Heart Award at the 2008 Heartland Film Festival."
