Paparazzo's civil trial against Reeves begins

A jury has been seated in a paparazzo's civil trial against Keanu Reeves.

Opening arguments were beginning Monday in Los Angeles, where several prospective jurors indicated ties to the movie industry. One woman who listed her occupation as "actress" said she knew people who worked with the "Matrix" star. Reeves, who was seated in the courtroom, smiled slightly as she spoke. Another man who said he was once the voice of Bugs Bunny did an impromptu impression, causing laughter in the courtroom.

The panel of 12 jurors and two alternates will decide whether Reeves owes damages to a photographer who fell while shooting the actor in 2007. Reeves was pulling out of a parking space, and Alison Silva says the car knocked him down.

Diagnosis given for 'Dancing' star Hough

The pain that sent Julianne Hough from a "Dancing with the Stars" taping to the hospital has turned out to be more serious than a stomach ache.

The 20-year-old professional dancer has been diagnosed with endometriosis, a common condition in which tissue from the uterus lining grows outside the uterus, causing painful cysts and possibly infertility.

Hough went to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles following last week's live results show and later said she had a stomach ache and was feeling fine.
