Thornton's daughter guilty of manslaughter
ORLANDO, Fla., June 2 (UPI) -- The estranged daughter of actor Billy Bob Thornton faces sentencing in July for aggravated manslaughter of a child, the Florida state attorney's office said.
Amanda Brumfield was convicted last week on the aggravated manslaughter charge, and was found not guilty on first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse charges in the death of her best friend's daughter in 2008, the Orlando Sentinel reported Thursday.
Brumfield, 32, claimed the death of 1-year-old Olivia Madison Garcia was an accident.
Report: Aniston, Cox are on the outs
LOS ANGELES, June 2 (UPI) -- The relationship between Hollywood actresses and longtime friends Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox is strained, sources told UsMagazine.com.
The stars played best pals on the sitcom "Friends" from 1994 to 2004.
UsMagazine.com said Aniston is upset with Cox because she has been dating, but hasn't filed for divorce from actor David Arquette, her husband of 11 years. Cox and Arquette separated in 2010.
"There's tension," one insider said of the Aniston-Cox friendship.
"Jen thinks Courteney is acting callous by running around with this guy but refusing to file divorce papers," a source close to Aniston added. "Like she's playing mind games with David."
Aniston's ex-husband, film star Brad Pitt, famously went public with his relationship with actress Angelina Jolie just weeks after Pitt and Aniston broke up in 2005.
"She hates watching Courteney do the same thing," the Aniston source told UsMagazine.com.
Pitt and Jolie now have six children together.

Both the "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" franchises have more films than the number of books in the series on which they were based.
"The ['Hunger Games] property is generating tremendous buzz and excitement, and it all points to a major Lionsgate franchise in the making," E! News reported Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon Feltheimer said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday.
"We have distributors who consider this as their big brand next year, the movie that can change their company," added motion picture group president Joe Drake.
The big-screen adaptations of the science-fiction books are to star Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Donald Sutherland.
E! News said it is unclear how the three books will be stretched into four movies.
