Lesbian socialite Casey Johnson suffered financial troubles in the months before her death, according to a US website.

A celebrity news site claims the pharmaceutical company heiress, who was reportedly engaged to reality TV star Tila Tequila, was sued for failing to make car lease payments and lost a five-figure lawsuit to a nanny service.

Johnson was apparently sued by Porsche in September last year after she missed the $2,300.47-a-month lease payments on her 2009 Porsche Cayenne in June, July and August. She eventually lost the car to Porsche in December.

And in August last year, nanny service the Elizabeth Rose Agency reportedly sued her, claiming she owed them money, and won a judgment for more than $20,000 four months later.

Johnson, an heiress to the fortune of Johnson & Johnson, was found dead in her Los Angeles home on Monday, aged 30.

Avatar star Sam Worthington has defended the buzz cut hairstyle he adopted for his upcoming film Clash of the Titans.

The 33-year-old Australian said he shaved his head as soon as he knew he had the part of the heroic Perseus.

He said: “I never looked at it in the sense of great mythology or anything like that. That was the reason I shaved my head, to be honest. My mate said to me: ‘They didn’t have buzz cuts in those days’ and I said: ‘It ain’t a history lesson and they didn’t have winged f*****g winged horses either’.”

He also told Australia’s Sunday Herald Sun: “This is a romp, it is a friggin’ Saturday morning popcorn movie. I don’t have any illusions that we’re trying to say this is how Greek mythology was.”

Clash of the Titans also stars Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton and Liam Neeson.

The plot follows Perseus in his quest to stop the underworld and its monsters from conquering the Earth.

It will be released in March.

TV presenter Myleene Klass was told off by police after she brandished a knife at a group of youths who were looking through her window.

The 31-year-old was at home alone with her two-year-old daughter Ava when she saw the youths looking through her home at midnight.

However, she was left ‘aghast and bemused’ when police told her she could have been prosecuted for her actions for carrying an offensive weapon.

A spokesman for the star said: “Myleene saw the yobs at her home in Potters Bar on Friday and all she did was scream and wave the knife to scare them. She was left aghast and bemused.”

Hertfordshire police added: “Advice was given about ensuring that suspicious behaviour is reported immediately.”
