Sideshow: Hurley, hubby pay underpaid maid

British tabs the Mirror and Daily Mail and the New York Post report that model/actress

Liz Hurley

and her husband,

Arun Nayar

, yesterday paid a five-figure settlement to their maid, who had accused them of paying her substandard wages.

Hurley and Nayar are millionaires a gazillion times over (Hurley alone is worth $25 mil and Nayar is a textiles heir). But

Violet D'Souza

, 31, says they paid her a measly $200 weekly - even though she clocked as many as 70 hours a week in the couple's London flat.

The Mirror calculated D'Souza's equivalent hourly rate to be between $2.72 and $3.10. It's a far cry from Britain's legal minimum wage, which is $10.71.

Under the terms of the settlement, D'Souza has withdrawn an official complaint she had filed with an employment tribunal. Hurley's lawyer had no comment to the Post.

In her first interview since she entered a psychiatric hospital in January,

Designing Women

alum

Delta Burke

tells

Entertainment Tonight

that she has suffered from depression since she was 13. In the two-part interview, set to air last night and tonight, Burke explained why she sought treatment this winter. "I was on five different kinds of medication. After a couple of years the meds stopped working. I needed an adjustment under a physician's care," she said, adding that she's now "on two medications."

Delta said she had "what they call 'double depression,' like two scoops of ice cream!"

She said she wanted to mount a campaign to remove the stigma surrounding depression. "I will be the face of depression," she said.

Fox, which planned to present the world premiere of

Paula Abdul

's eagerly awaited new music vid "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" last night on TV, decided to post it on its Web site (

) by early afternoon to thwart e-pirates who had leaked the footage.

Paula is elated, happy, over the moon. "It's good to be back in the game," she said yesterday. "It's a very poignant and special time. It's been a while since I've been out there doing it." (Can a

time period

be poignant?) According to USAToday.com, Paula sounded "very coherent and calm."

So, will the

American Idol

judge who says performing is her "happy place" go on tour?

"I've definitely been taking meetings," she said.

Not only does he make WeightyIssuesMoviesWithMeaning (that is, when he's on hiatus from the

Ocean's Eleven

franchise),

George Clooney

campaigns to end poverty and world hunger. Clooney is so full of significance he's on the cover of the new issue of SeriousMag, Time.

Clooney says fame is not a cross to bear. People hate the famous, he says, "when famous people whine about it."

So what's a superstar to do? "Even when the tabloids say really [awful] things . . . and you know it's not true, you have to at least publicly have a sense of humor about it."

alum

Jesse L. Martin

is leaving NBC's

Law & Order

after eight years.

Anthony Anderson

, who was mesmerizing as cold-hearted killer Antwon Mitchell on FX's

The Shield

, is in negotiations to replace Martin and partner up with Detective Cyrus Lupo (

Jeremy Sisto

). Martin's moving on to greener pastures (motion pictures): He is to play

Marvin Gaye

in

Sexual Healing

, a biopic about the final three years of the Motown star's life.

ABC says

Grey's Anatomy

will return to its 9 p.m. Thursday slot beginning April 24, which means

Lost

will move to 10 p.m.

Is Universal Pictures a film studio or an ad agency? The studio has signed a deal with Hasbro that essentially makes it an extension of the toymaker's marketing department. Under the six-year deal, U will produce at least four films based on branded properties, Variety says. Hot properties include Monopoly, Candyland, Clue, Ouija and Battleship, not to mention G.I. Joe (which is being moviefied by Paramount for 2009).

Gawker.com says that contrary to the Chicago Sun-Times, comedian

Donald Glover

has not joined the

Saturday Night Live

cast. Glover would be a hot asset, since he can do a reportedly decent impersonation of Democratic presidential candidate

Barack Obama

. (

SNL

has a tradition of mocking presidents, would-be presidents, and wannabe presidents.)

Glover, who writes for

Tina Fey

's TV comedy

30 Rock

, says in a note to Gawker, "I was

not

asked to

SNL

. I just auditioned."
