Bullock pulls out of gulf PSA
NEW ORLEANS, July 31 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Sandra Bullock asked to be pulled from the gulf restoration promotion video "Be the One," her publicist said.
The Academy Award winning Bullock learned some of the money funding the campaign may have indirectly come from BP, Parade magazine reported.
The public service announcement touts the Women of the Storm's "Restore the Gulf" campaign, and asks people to sign a petition urging the government to fund the restoration of the Gulf of Mexico, Parade said.
But Bullock's publicist said "The Blind Side" actress, who lives part-time in New Orleans, wants out of the campaign after learning Women of the Storm is sponsored by America's Wetland Foundation, which has taken donations from oil companies, including BP, the magazine said.
Bullock spokeswoman Cheryl Maisel said, "At no time was she made aware that any organization, oil company or otherwise had influence over Women of the Storm or its message."
NEW YORK, July 31 (UPI) -- Rapper Foxy Brown allegedly attacked her own entourage, just missing a run-in with New York City police, sources told the New York Daily News.
The newspaper said after the Thursday set-to in the lobby of a Manhattan high-rise, the U.S. rapper went underground, staying inside the apartment of Passengerz producer Sean Gill. The report said the apartment has been her address since her arrest last week for allegedly violating a court order by cursing and mooning another woman on a Brooklyn sidewalk.
Brown -- real name Inga Marchand -- finally came down about 8:30 p.m. Thursday, about 6 hours after she was supposed to be interviewed by WNBC reporter Tom Llamas. A source told the Daily News she was still swearing, even when building workers told her to cool it.
Police heard the noise and responded, the newspaper said, but when they arrived Brown was gone.

Casey Affleck target in 2nd lawsuit
LOS ANGELES, D.C., July 31 (UPI) -- A second woman has sued U.S. filmmaker/actor Casey Affleck for sexual harassment, The Hollywood Reporter said.
Affleck is working on an upcoming Joaquin Phoenix documentary.
Cinematographer Magdalena Gorka is suing Affleck in a $2.25 million lawsuit being filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. The complaint says Affleck engaged in a pattern of harassing behavior, and refused to pay or credit her when the behavior forced her off the project.
The Reporter said the allegations are similar to a separate suit filed last Friday by Amanda White, a producer who says she left the movie after witnessing shocking behavior and after refusing to sleep in a hotel room with Affleck.
A spokesman for Affleck said he would have a statement later, but has already vehemently denied the allegations in the White case.
