Hulk Hogan's son moves to communal jail cell

Hi, it's Friday, the 6 of June, 2008 and I'm Melisse Hinkle with today's UPI Entertainment Update.

Hulk Hogan's son is now sharing a jail cell with other juveniles. Nick Bollea was taken out of solitary confinement and placed in a communal cell yesterday. That's according to E! News. Bollea is behind bars for a DUI crash that left his friend with serious injuries. The move came two days after a judge turned down the 17-year-old's request to be transfered out of maximum-security. A rep from the jail says space opened up after a routine assessment of housing assignments.

Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff are reportedly parting ways. The former Dancing With the Stars partners are ending their off-screen relationship after two years of dating. Smirnoff's rep tells People magazine their partnership wasn't going in the "right direction." Just last month both stars rejected rumors that their relationship was on the rocks. Lopez issued a statement saying he is happy to have Smirnoff in his life...and he called her "a phenomenal and talented woman."

A new scholarship fund is being established in honor of Heath Ledger, who died five months ago. The scholarship will benefit struggling Australian actors. Ledger's friend, Gregor Jordan, who directed the actor in the movie "Two Hands," announced the news last night at the Australians in Film 2008 Breakthrough Awards in Beverly Hills. Jordan highlighted Ledger's generosity and said of the late actor, "when he had nothing, he still found a way to give to others." Jordan added that Ledger's ex-girlfriend, Michelle Williams, said she would be glad to be the first benefactor.

Shania Twain is speaking out about her split from husband Robert "Mutt" Lange. The country singer posted a message on her Web site yesterday, thanking her fans for their support during what she called "a rough time." Twain added that she communicates best through her music and said she looks forward to bringing her future songs to her fans. Rumors have circulated that Lange became involved with another woman, causing the downfall of his marriage to Twain...but he has denied those accusations.

Author J.K. Rowling delivered the commencement address at Harvard University yesterday. The author also received an honorary degree from the institution. Rowling called upon her personal journey from poverty to literary fame and encouraged graduates to use the power of imagination to make changes in their lives. She said, "We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already."

That's all for this entertainment update. Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend.
