BLAKE DAUGHTER GETS CUSTODY OF OTHER DAUGHTER

The latest phase of the Robert Blake story plays out better than a Hollywood script.

Blake's adult daughter Thursday was given custody of her half-sister, Rosie, the 2-year-old girl Blake had with Bonny Lee Bakley, whom he's accused of killing last year.

Thirty-five-year-old Delinah Blake was granted temporary custody of Rosie in May and won permanent custody Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The elder Blake daughter, a psychologist, said in court documents she's been taking care of the little girl since the child was 3 months old.

This week Blake was denied bail, a ruling that will keep him behind bars on murder charges in the May 2001 shooting death of Bakley.

AOL SHARES TUMBLE ON NEWS OF PROBE

Shares of AOL Time Warner dropped by as much as 23 percent Thursday, even though the media titan reported its first net profit since America Online took over Time Warner in January 2001.

Traders were more concerned about the company's disclosure Wednesday that the Securities and Exchange Commission was investigating its accounting practices.

The probe was launched amid questions about revenues raised by AOL Time Warner through unconventional deals.

AOL stocks closed down more than 15 percent, as several analysts cut their ratings on the company.

Shares are at their lowest level since October 1998, and have fallen more than 75 percent since the merger.

BRAD PITT'S NEW CHIN-DO

Actor Brad Pitt showed up at this week's premiere of his latest film, "Full Frontal," wearing a beard he likens to that of a mighty unpopular dude.

He said he started the growth when he agreed to do the sci-fi epic "The Fountain," which is stalled while budget issues are worked out.

The beard grew, Pitt said, and "Next thing I know I've got this bin Laden on my face."

J-LO, DANCER HUBBY TO DIVORCE

One day after her 32nd birthday, Jennifer Lopez filed divorce papers in Los Angeles following less than a year of marriage to dancer Cris Judd.

The documents cited irreconcilable differences but a joint statement said the two will remain friends. The couple, who met while working on Lopez's music video, "Love Don't Cost A Thing," separated in early June.

The New York Post reported Lopez and actor Ben Affleck, with whom she is co-starring in the upcoming film "Gigli," were chummy at Lopez's surprise birthday party in the Big Apple on Wednesday.
