Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James have been splashed all over the news lately. It seems that Jesse's ex-wife, Janine Lindemulder, is battling him for custody of their daughter, Sunny. Now that Janine's out of the slammer for tax evasion, the former adult film star wants her kid back. And she's dragging "The Proposal" actress into the fight. Jesse is trying to keep Sandy out of it, but with such a high-profile star, that's not always easy to do.

Sadly, as in many of these disputes, it's the children who suffer. But this is not the first time celebrity custody fights have made headlines. Here are a few other knock-down, drag-out battles over the kids of the stars.

Oprah's Love Couch Confessions

Ellen DeGeneres certainly doesn't shy away from talking about her personal life these days. We're happy for the once romantically challenged talk show host who finally seems in love and at peace with her wife, Portia de Rossi. So it's not surprising that last week Ellen poured her heart out to everyone's favorite confidante, Oprah Winfrey, on the original Queen of Daytime's talk show.

Ellen, who was on the show promoting their four different shared covers of O Magazine, told Oprah, "I'm going to be with [Portia] until the day I die." DeGeneres is not the first star to bare her soul to Lady O. Here are some other celebrities who have shared their innermost feelings during an Oprah Love Couch Confession.

R.I.P. Ken Ober

The host of one of MTV's early non-music series "Remote Control" passed to that great game show in the sky this week. The 1980s pop culture quiz show tested contestants' knowledge of TV, music videos, and all things entertainment by strapping them into recliners and handing them a remote used to chose categories. Ober was quick-witted and casual, a perfect combo for the MTV fare. He was the Wink Martindale of Generation X, going on to host three more game shows ("Make Me Laugh," "Smush," and "Perfect Match") before trading in his blue cue cards for a job behind the camera. Most recently he produced comedies like "Mind of Mencia" and "The New Adventures of Old Christine." He is credited with helping launch the careers of several comedians including "RC" regulars like Adam Sandler who said he was one of "sharpest, quickest, sweetest guys I ever met," and Denis Leary added, "he was a welcoming ringmaster who helped to kickstart the careers of numerous talents, including Adam Sandler, Colin Quinn and myself.
