The widow of television's "Crocodile Hunter" reached a confidential settlement Wednesday with creditors who claimed the family's zoo owed them $2.3 million.

ABC's "Ugly Betty" is expected to relocate to New York this coming season. The comedy-drama, starring America Ferrera, is set in the Big Apple but had been filming in Los Angeles for its first two seasons.

Britney Spears will get more time with her sons during visitation, a court ruled Tuesday.

"We are so pleased with Britney's progress, and we are appreciative of the court's recognition of this progress," Spears's parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, said in statement after a hearing attended by the pop star and her ex-husband Kevin Federline.


Rosie O'Donnell doesn't agree with everything Barbara Walters said about her on The Oprah Winfrey Show Tuesday.

"I love her," the former host of The View wrote on her Web site's Q & A page, when asked her thoughts on Walters's interview.
Walters told Oprah that she thought O'Donnell "regretted" writing her 2007 book Celebrity Detox, and that was why she didn't promote the book.

"It was so full of anger at me," Walters said. "I got into bed and pulled the covers over my head and said, 'I think I'll stay here until a week from Tuesday.' " She added, "I think she kind of regretted the book."

Not so, O'Donnell wrote in her trademark freeform prose:

i didnt promote it
because the way i left the view
distorted the story

changed the essence

And when a fan who had watched the Oprah interview asked O'Donnell if she has "rage issues" – Walters said that at one point during O'Donnell's tenure on The View, "the audience tuned in every day to see who [Rosie] was going to hate" – O'Donnell made light of it:

WHAT THE HELL R U TALKING ABOUT
S--T
DAMN IT

But in the end, both women proclaim nothing but respect for one another, with Walters saying she will "always have the greatest affection for [Rosie]."

As for O'Donnell, a fan posted on her website, "BW loves you and you love BW, right?...right!...that is all that matters about that..." She replied simply, "I agree."
