Stephen Stills
, who underwent surgery for prostate cancer in L.A. on Thursday, which was also his 63d birthday, was recovering nicely and was expected to be back home as early as yesterday, said his wife,
Kristen Stills
.
"Stephen's procedure went remarkably well, and he couldn't be better," she said. "The pain will be minimal."
Mrs. Stills said he plans to attend the Sundance Film Festival in Utah for the Jan. 25 world premiere of
CSNY Déjà Vu
, a docu that was shot during
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
's 2006 tour.
DiCaprio lived to tell about it
A woman accused of assaulting
Leonard DiCaprio
two years ago is finally in police custody in Toronto, E! Online reports.
On June 20, 2005,
Aretha Wilson
, 37, crashed a Hollywood Hills soiree hosted by
Paris Hilton
's sex-tape costar,
Rick Salomon
. Upon seeing DiCap, Wilson allegedly bashed his head with a broken beer bottle. Seems she mistook poor Leo, who required a dozen stitches for a gash he sustained near his ear, for an ex-boyfriend.
Canadian authorities actually arrested Wilson for a similar assault north of the border. LAPD spokeswoman
Karen Smith
told E! Online that the Canadian case will take precedence because Wilson "actually killed that person."
Porn to build a dream on
Let's see now: She's sexy, smart and charming. And she's so passionate, so romantic that at 16 she was more than willing to murder someone in the name of love.
But now that she's produced her very own porn video,
Amy Fisher
is nothing short of irresistible.
The Long Island Lolita, who served seven years in prison for shooting ex-bf
Joey Buttafuoco
's wife,
Mary Jo
, in '92, is marketing a sex vid she made with hubby
Louis Bellera
.
"I always wanted to be No. 1 at something, but I didn't think it would be something like this," Amy quips.
The story of the tape is the story of love lost and love gloriously restored. In a fit of pique in August, Bellera sold the vid to Red Light District video while he was divorcing Amy. But then something magical happened: love. The couple decided to reconcile.
Amy said that instead of fighting to pull the video, she took a six-figure payout. Like the Bard said, "All's well that ends well."
One for the cheeseheads
In something of a coup, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra has signed
Edo de Waart
, the chief conductor and artistic director of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, as its next music director. The Dutch conductor has a Wisconsin connection: His wife, mezzo-soprano
Rebecca Dopp
, grew up in Middleton, near Madison. MSO's current director,
Andreas Delfs
, has announced he will leave after the '08-09 season.
