Another "Gossip Girl" star in the news. Kelly Rutherford is apparently worried that her ex might leave the country with the couple's two children, Hermes and Helena.
We got our hands on docs filed yesterday in their custody war -- both Rutherford and her estranged hubby Daniel Giersch have agreed he will ante up his visa and visa application to her lawyer within a week.
The docs don't say why this is happening, but the application is telling -- it seems Giersch may have plans to leave the country, smack in the middle of their ongoing fight over the kids. Giersch is from Germany.

In a move straight out of the Bart Bass playbook, "Gossip Girl" star Kelly Rutherford hired a detective to videotape her ex -- but today outside court, she insisted it was only to check in on "my son's safety."
Rutherford hired the private eye to prove her ex, Daniel Giersch, didn't properly secure the pool and play areas at his home -- which she said endangered the couple's 2-year-old son Hermes. She also wanted Daniel to stop potty training the kid.
The judge ordered Giersch to properly cover the pool -- and today in court Daniel proved that had been done. As for the toilet talk, Hermes will continue to use pull-ups and can use a toilet if he so chooses.

"Gossip Girl" star Kelly Rutherford isn't finished with her custody war with estranged hubby Daniel Giersch. She now claims Daniel is putting their kid in danger.
Kelly has filed legal papers asking the judge to prohibit Daniel from taking 2-year-old Hermes to his home until he has properly secured the pool and play areas.
She also wants Daniel to stop potty training the kid, stat. She doesn't say why.
The judge has set a hearing for Friday. In the meantime, the judge has ordered Daniel to properly cover the pool.

"Gossip Girl" matriarch Kelly Rutherford just arrived at the L.A. County Courthouse to square off with soon-to-be-ex hubby Daniel Giersch in what has become a legal hate-fest.
Giersch didn't want their two-year-old son, Hermes Gustaf, to travel with Kelly to NYC to film "Gossip Girl." The judge allowed the travel temporarily, and today Giersch's lawyer says everyone will probably agree to some permanent custody deal.
Rutherford, who plays Lily van der Woodsen on the show, is pregnant with their second child ... always awkward.
UPDATE -- So much for optimism. Not much went down and nothing was decided. Both sides will back in court to do it all again soon.

Kelly Rutherford with son Hermes looking the opposite of "crazy" on the set of Gossip Girl in NYC Friday.
Her soon-to-be ex husband Daniel Giersch still contends Kelly is too crazed while she's filming, which isn't a good influence on their son.

A judge just ruled Kelly Rutherford can take her kid to NYC while she films "Gossip Girl."
The judge said Kelly can go on Sunday and her estranged hubby Daniel Giersch is free to travel there as well. He had argued he needed to stay in L.A. to do his business, but the judge begged to differ. Daniel told the court he will travel to New York.
Rutherford filed for divorce on December 30. She is also pregnant.
Giersch was awarded two overnight visits per week for the month of February and three per week for March. They all need to come back to L.A. for a minimum of four days, at least twice. During the L.A. stays, Hermes will alternate between the two parents.
The judge also ruled 2-year-old Hermes will bounce between NYC and L.A. for the next two months while the feuding couple tries to hash out a long-term custody arrangement. Good luck.

The "Gossip Girl" custody case is back in court this morning and today's ruling not only will have a profound impact on the parents -- but also the fate of the show could be affected.
Kelly Rutherford and Daniel Giersch are at war over their kid, Hermes. The judge presumably will decide today whether Kelly can travel to NYC this weekend with the kid to film the show. Giersch doesn't want Rutherford to travel with the kid because he says she gets all crazy when she films and the kid is a basket case.
Rutherford got emotional after yesterday's hearing.

Here's how nasty the Kelly Rutherford/Daniel Giersch divorce has gotten -- they're bickering over who doesn't wipe their kid.
In legal papers filed today, Giersch claims he tried to potty train their son, Hermes, early on but Rutherford took his mini-toilet seat away and hid it and did not "encourage him to use the toilet."
Giersch adds, "I have witnessed that she does not always keep his bottom clean."
And there's more. Giersch says it is not "reasonable or appropriate for [Rutherford] to be breast feeding when he is nearly 2 1/2 years old."
As if to punctuate his point, Giersch says the kid is old enough to be fluent in German.

A main character in "Gossip Girl" may be killed off, depending on what a judge rules tomorrow.
Kelly Rutherford, who plays Lily van der Woodsen, was in court this morning, asking an L.A. County Superior Court judge to green light her request to bring her two-year-old son Hermes to NYC to begin filming this coming Sunday.
Standing in her way -- estranged hubby Daniel Giersch -- who claims the kid is a basket case when he goes back to New York because Kelly gets crazy with her work schedule. Kelly says she's been taking the kid back and forth for a long time and it's no problemo.
The judge says he'll decide tomorrow if Kelly can take Hermes back this weekend. If the answer is no, Kelly has to decide whether to go back alone or even quit the show.
