A truce in Kasem conflict

The feud between American Top 40 DJ Casey Kasem's wife and children seems to have ended in a negotiated settlement.

Kasem's children - Kerri, 41, Mike, 40, and Julie, 38 - complained their stepmother, Jean, was preventing them from seeing their father, who has advanced Parkinson's disease and is in a hospital. In court in October, Jean said it wouldn't be good for Casey to see his kids. But a court-hired doctor testified that Casey wanted to see them. Julie was trying to get legal control of her dad's health care.

In a hearing Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Julie's attorneys said she was withdrawing that request as part of a confidential visitation agreement.

Casey had the three children with his first wife, Linda Myers, whom he divorced in 1979; he married Jean in 1980. The kids had been picketing Casey's mansion over the summer.

Two pretty people split

Kate Upton (of Sports Illustrated cover fame) and Maksim Chmerkovskiy (Dancing With the Stars pro guy) have ended their liaison, according to People mag. Indeed, the two hot-bodies seem to have gone cool on each other weeks ago. Just nobody knew.
