Hayden Panettiere’s father, Alan, has been temporarily ordered not to “harass, strike or threaten” his wife, Lesley Vogel, a Beverly Hills judge ruled Tuesday.
Judge H. Chester Horn issued the protective order until Panettiere’s new arraignment date of Dec. 11. If convicted, Panettiere faces up to a year in county jail.
You might remember that he was arrested at the family’s West Hollywood home after he struck Vogel, 52, “one or two times on the cheek causing bruising with a closed fist,” a sheriff’s spokesman said.
The couple had argued after returning from a charity event hosted by their daughter. Another sheriff’s official confirmed that alcohol was involved.
Shortly after he was released on bail, Alan Panettiere told Extra the incident was a “misunderstanding” and that “nothing actually happened.”
And daughter Hayden, 19, downplayed the incident, saying, “It was blown way out of proportion by a sheriff who wanted his 15 minutes of fame.”
The combined star power of Lily Allen and Elton John presenting the GQ Men of the Year Awards must have looked like a dream ticket on paper.
But the two stars didn’t exactly see eye-to-eye at last night’s star-studded event at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.
As the evening wore on, Lily’s state gradually deteriorated as she continually sipped champagne on stage.
The 23-year-old, decked out in an extravagant ball gown, soon began slurring, swearing and ad-libbing - and it was only a matter of time before she had an all-too-public fall-out on stage with co-host Elton.
When she came to announce ‘…and now the most important part of the night’, Elton chipped in ‘What? Are you going to have another drink?’
She fired back: ‘F*** off Elton. I am 40 years younger than you and have my whole life ahead of me!’
The shocked audience fell silent.
A clearly rattled Elton replied ‘I could still snort you under the table’. To which she replied: ‘F*** off. I don’t know what you are talking about.’
On more than one occasion, Elton could be seen having a stern word with her in the wings between awards.
She barely made it off the stage after the awards ended - before drinking even more at the afterparty.
I just can’t fathom, what compelled Lily to tell Elton John to FO. I mean… he’s Elton John, you just don’t tell him to FO.

Lily Allen threw a few punches at some random woman, after drinking all night in London’s Soho.
Witnesses suggested Lily reacted after being heckled as she left Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club at 2am. With a short reach, the punch appeared to fail to connect.
The Smile singer’s friends, including TV presenter Miquita Oliver, then managed to restrain Lily, persuading her to get into a car.

Lily’s target appeared to laugh off the attack, looking more bemused than terrified.
This isn’t the first time the 23-year-old has let her temper get the better of her. She was arrested and cautioned for assault after kicking a photographer during a night out in Soho last year. The pop star was leaving the Wardour club when she hit out at the man, in his forties, who was waiting outside.

The Sun is reporting that Batman himself, Christian Bale, has been accused of assault - by his own family!
Cops allowed Bale to attend the biggest film premiere of the summer last night — despite him being accused of assault.
Bale, 34, faces questioning over the claim — made by his own mother and sister.
But he was able to attend the first European screening of new Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight in London’s West End.
He is alleged to have lashed out on Sunday night at Park Lane’s Dorchester Hotel — where he has a suite.
Mum Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, who lives in Dorset, went to a police station in Hampshire yesterday to lodge the allegation. The matter was referred to the Met Police.
Detectives, well aware of last night’s glittering bash, took the decision not to approach Bale yesterday. But they are expected to make attempts to quiz the Wales-born actor today.
A source said: “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth.
“But Mr Bale will be contacted at the earliest opportunity and be asked to provide an account of anything that happened.”
A Met Police spokesman said: “We can confirm we have received allegation from another force in relation to an alleged incident in central London.”
Talk about something coming out of left field! What in the world do you think happened?
UPDATE (Allie): Christian Bale has been arrested and is still being grilled on allegations of assaulting his mom and sister Sunday, the night before the London premiere of “The Dark Knight.”
The official word from Scotland Yard is that “a 34-year-old male” was taken into custody “in the late morning today” in a police precinct in Central London. (Bale is 34.) They said that the allegation emanated “another force,” but that the incident in question took place in London.
