Robert Downey Jr.'s Son Judge Dismisses Cocaine Case
Robert Downey Jr.'s son has followed in his footsteps, getting his drug record wiped clean.
Indio Downey showed up at an L.A. courthouse Tuesday morning, where a judge dismissed his cocaine case, after he submitted proof he had successfully completed a drug diversion program.
The dismissal comes 2 months after California Governor Jerry Brown gave Robert Downey Jr. a full pardon for his drug convictions.
Indio spoke to Judge Lauren Weis Birnstein in open court, saying, "I would like to say I am truly grateful for the experience I had over the last 20 months in recovery." He went on, "I'm so blessed to have my life back. I hope to be an inspiration to work with others in the future."
Indio was arrested in June 2014 in West Hollywood when cops drove alongside the vehicle in which he was riding and noticed he was smoking something out of a pipe. Cops found coke on the actor's son.
The dismissal erases the entire criminal case ... it's as if Indio was never even arrested.

Christina Aguilera Fiance Caught DWB ... Driving with Baby in His Lap
Christina Aguilera's fiancé gave their daughter her first driving lesson ... unfortunately she's only 18 months old.
Matt Rutler took the fam out for a Sunday drive recently in Brentwood, and while stopped on the side of the road little Summer Rain hopped in Daddy's lap. No big deal, until they drove off and she remained in that dangerous position.
Based on the pics, it appears Rutler only drove about 100 yards or so down the road before pulling into a parking spot, but it's still a clear violation and extremely risky -- remember there's an airbag just inches from Summer.
Rutler could've been hit with a $475 ticket for a first offense, but cops didn't witness it ... and luckily, no one was hurt.
We've reached out to Christina's reps, but they've yet to reply.

Madonna & Guy Ritchie Scolded by Judge in Custody War ... You're Hurting Rocco!
Madonna and Guy Ritchie both called into a New York custody hearing Wednesday afternoon, and the judge went after them ... saying THEY are the ones hurting their 15-year-old son Rocco.
Here's what went down in court ...
- Rocco is currently enrolled in school in London. Rocco's attorney called it a "great fit for him."
- The judge is pleased about the school decision and doesn't want to move Rocco out of the school.
- Rocco's attorney said the uncertainty of the situation is having a negative effect on Rocco, but the judge says the real problem is the "inability of the parents to come up with a solution."
Bottom line -- the judge isn't forcing Rocco to move back to New York with his mother at this time ... but is urging Madonna and Guy to find an amicable resolution to visitation issues.
If they can't, the judge is ready to intervene.

Madonna, Guy Ritchie Showdown In Rocco Custody War
Madonna and Guy Ritchie will square off in court Wednesday over custody of their 15-year-old son Rocco, and we've learned Madonna has changed her strategy.
As we reported, the singer and Guy have not gotten along since their 2008 divorce. In fact, we're told they aggressively dislike each other.
Madonna's initial strategy to get her son back was to trash Guy's parenting skills. She believes he's way too permissive and Rocco suffers as a result. Our Madonna sources say she is an extremely strict and controlling parent ... which often benefits the boy, but at the same time pisses him off.
Now we're told Madonna has changed her tune. Rather than trying to force Rocco back to the U.S. through a judge's order, she's trying to win him back by proclaiming her undying love ... frequently through social media.
That said, as one well-connected Madonna source told us, "She always has to be right. It's her nature. She and Guy have disagreed on every [child rearing] decision they talk about, and it's made her feel like he's a bad parent."
Rocco -- who's been living with his dad since late December -- will have a voice in where he ends up living.

Goran knows talent ... he currently coaches Croatian star Marin Cilic and was in his corner when Cilic took home the 2014 U.S. Open championship.
Ivanisevic liked what he saw ... saying he'd definitely be willing to give the little tyke some tutelage ... if Mike and Milan are willing to make the short trip over to Croatia.
Hey Mike ... buy a coat, make the trip.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin Cold Play Slow Play in Divorce
Gwyneth Paltrow needs to tell her estranged hubby to get off the dime, because we've learned he never responded to her divorce petition and the judge has taken notice.
Gwyneth filed for divorce April 20, 2015. Chris was served with legal docs on May 18th and the case has laid dormant since then. According to legal docs the Coldplay frontman never filed an answer to her divorce petition.
The judge has now notified Gwyneth and Chris, the actress may now be eligible to get a default judgment. Typically, that means she'd get what she asked for in her divorce petition. We broke the story, Gwyneth wants joint custody of their 2 kids. BTW ... she filed her petition without a lawyer.
But, as we reported, we're told business managers for Gwyneth and Chris have been privately hashing out a settlement, mostly involving their considerable assets. Based on what we know, it looks like Chris and his team simply never got around to filing an answer, which they'll probably do now.
Either way, if Chris doesn't snap to, he may wake up suddenly single.

CP3 then goes on to explain how they became friends ...
"When little Chris was about two years old, Justin came to a game and little Chris sat with him and then I took him to a concert and now anytime we go to the bus stop [we listen to] Bieber. If it’s not ‘Austin and Ally’ then it’s Justin Bieber all day.”

"I would say between ‘Love Yourself’ and ‘Sorry.’ For a long time it was just ‘Baby’ though. Oh my god, he sang ‘Baby’ with him and Luda for the longest."

Louis Tomlinson Custody War Settled I Get the Baby ... For a Price
Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth have reached a shaky temporary settlement in their custody war ... avoiding a courtroom showdown by a matter of hours.
We've learned lawyers for the One Direction singer were going to court Friday morning armed with legal docs and their famous client, asking a judge to formally establish paternity on Louis' part and give him access to his 1-month-old son, Freddie.
TMZ broke the story ... Briana was not giving Louis access to their kid and the dispute was over money. We're told under the temporary settlement, he will have access to the child for several hours at a time during the week, but he will not have any overnight visits.
We're told until a short time ago, Louis was paying Briana's expenses but there was no set amount -- it varied from week to week. Things went south when they tried to establish a set monthly amount ... she wanted way more than he was willing to give.
Our sources say the 2 parents have agreed to a temporary custody arrangement while their lawyers hammer out something formal ... both with custody and child support.
