ALISON BOSHOFF: British actress Julia Ormond is taking on the biggest beasts in Hollywood in her quest for justice after an alleged sexual assault in 1995 by convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein. Last week a New York Supreme Court judge ruled that her lawsuit against her former agents at Creative Artists Agency (CAA) could proceed, as could actions against Walt Disney Co and Miramax. By continuing down this road, Ormond will be taking on CAA bosses Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane - two of the most powerful men in Hollywood. Ormond's lawyer, Meredith Firetog, told me this week that her client was being 'incredibly brave' in shooting for the big dogs. 'The fact is that Harvey Weinstein, as powerful as he was, did not commit these sexual assaults in a vacuum,' Firetog said.

Billie Lourd's second child with actor Austen Rydell has welcomed her second child. Both Carrie Fisher and Rydell, 30, are now parents to their two-year-old son Kingston Fisher. Billie's father, Bryan Lourd, shared the good news on Tuesday while speaking at Variety's Dealmakers Breakfast in Beverly Hills, California.

Billie Lourd, Carrie Fisher's daughter, has paid tribute to her late mother ahead of her new romantic comedy film Ticket To Paradise. After growing up with the 'best woman of all time,' her mother, the actress, 30, who stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts, said she had to be funny to survive. Billie portrays Wren in the film, who has a great friendship with Lily (Kaitlyn Dever), the daughter of George and Julia's bickering divorced couple.
