Ted Williams, the former homeless man who is tasting fame, was detained by LAPD on Monday, January 10 night for "minor disturbance". The 53-year-old had an argument with his daughter, shouting at each other and disturbing the peace at the Renaissance Hotel.
A hotel employee called the cops and both Williams and his unnamed daughter were taken to the Hollywood station. The police investigated the incident but neither of them wanted to press charges against each other so they were released less than an hour later.
An update has just come from TMZ which found out from a law enforcement source that the argument between Williams and his daughter was over money. The man with the golden radio voice has been taking numerous jobs in the past few days and gone from living in a tent to a five star hotel.
Williams, who was married to Patricia Kirtley, claimed in interviews that he has nine kids.
Update : Williams and his daughter have both talked to ET to reveal truth behind the incident.

Ted Williams Argued With Daughter
Kim Kardashian Rejects to Admit Khloe's Pregnancy Rumor
Socialite Kim Kardashian has dismissed rumors her sister Khloe Kardashian is pregnant, insisting her sibling shouldn't have to suffer the humiliating gossip every time she puts on "a little weight". Reports emerged online this month suggesting Khloe is expecting her first child with her basketball star husband Lamar Odom.
But her sister Kim is adamant the reports are not true, and she is urging gossips to stop making Khloe feel bad about her body. She tells E! News, "I feel like she gets this all the time. It's like every other week. I think I'd kill myself if I had to deal with that. It doesn't feel good when you've just gained a little weight."
The only Kardashian sister who has a brood already is Kourtney Kardashian. The eldest fell pregnant with boyfriend Scott Disick's baby in 2009.
Paulina Rubio's Father Died
Mexican pop star Paulina Rubio is in mourning following the death of her father on Tuesday morning, January 11. The singer's dad, lawyer Enrique, was admitted to a hospital in Mexico City on January 3 after suffering a heart attack and stroke.
He was placed in a medically-induced coma and was said to be in a "very serious" and "critical" condition. He died on Tuesday, reports PerezHilton.com. Enrique Rubio had just returned from a trip to Miami, Florida, where he had been visiting the star and her brother, also named Enrique, when he was taken ill.
He is survived by Paulina and Enrique, Jr., his children from his marriage to actress Susana Dosamantes. The couple was in the midst of a divorce when he died.
Michael Jackson's Physician Ordered to Stand Trial
Michael Jackson's physician has been ordered to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter. Los Angeles prosecutors have ended their case in the preliminary hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to try Dr. Conrad Murray. The lawyers finished ahead of schedule - after just six days of testimony from forensics experts, paramedics and former employees of the King of Pop.
In his closing statement, Deputy District Attorney David Walgren told the judge, "Michael Jackson is not here today because of the negligence and reckless acts of Dr. Murray." The defense filed a motion to dismiss on Tuesday, January 11 but that was denied, and Judge Michael Pastor has ruled there is sufficient evidence to warrant a manslaughter trial.
Reports suggest the Deputy Attorney General, who represents the Medical Board of California, has asked the judge to suspend Dr. Murray's license to practice medicine with immediate effect. During the six days of testimony, phone records showed Murray spent hours chatting on his cellphone and texting when he should have been monitoring his heavily-sedated patient, while Jackson's security staff recalled the doctor's inappropriate behavior after finding the King of Pop lifeless in his bedroom.
One security guard, who was called to Jackson's room by Murray, told the court the physician asked him to remove IV bags containing a milky-white liquid, believed to be anaesthetic Propofol, from the pop star's bedside. Jackson died from an overdose of the drug, which a Los Angeles forensics expert declared should never have been in the King of Pop's home in the first place.
If convicted Murray faces a maximum of four years in prison.

Gary Mason Died After A Cycling Accident on Thursday
Former British boxing champion Gary Mason has died after a cycling accident on Thursday, January 6. He was 48 years old. The retired fighter was riding his bicycle in south London when he collided with a van. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the vehicle was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving.
The London-born heavyweight was crowned British champion in 1989 and was only defeated once in his 38-fight career - by future world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis in 1991. He enjoyed a brief foray into the world of rugby, playing three professional games, and also appeared in a celebrity edition of U.K. TV hit Gladiators.
Former world champ Frank Bruno expressed his condolence, "We used to spar together in the early days. Gary was probably a better technical boxer than me and that spurred me on to work harder. I'm very sorry about his death, particularly the circumstances of how it happened. I had a lot of respect for the guy."

Incarcerated rapper T.I. Is in Trouble Again
Incarcerated rapper T.I. is in trouble again - the hip-hop star has been banished to a secure special housing unit after he was caught canoodling with his wife during a prison visit. The "Live Your Life" hitmaker, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., has been in and out of jail over the past year and is currently serving an 11-month sentence in Arkansas for violating his probation following a drug arrest in September.
And the star is failing to keep out of trouble while behind bars - his visiting time with wife Tameka 'Tiny' Cottle over the weekend was cut short after prison officers found them getting "frisky" in a visiting room. Cottle tells TMZ.com that Harris was reprimanded and sent to a new housing wing, which is more secure and offers inmates less freedom.
According to Arkansas State Prison guidelines, couples are allowed to kiss and hug at the start and end of visiting sessions, but must keep their hands in full view throughout.

Corey Taylor Has Revealed His Secret Shame
Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has revealed his secret shame - he lost his virginity to a babysitter at the age of 11. The rocker has confessed he became sexually active long before the legal age of consent of 16 in his native Iowa, and admits his first partner was "f*ked up" for wanting to sleep with a young boy.
And Taylor felt so ashamed after the experience that he avoided sex for two years. He tells Kerrang! magazine, "I am so f**king ashamed to say that I lost my virginity when I was 11 years old... It was with a very f**ked up and very giving babysitter, let's put it that way! I don't think I was very good at it that first time, though. After that I had a dry spell until I was 13. I was a bit better at it all by then, I think. I hope so anyway."
In the same interview, Taylor also ruled out recording any music in the wake of bassist Paul Gray's death. Gray was found dead in an Iowa hotel room last May, and Taylor admits the other members of the band are "still reeling" from the tragedy.
And he's warned fans not to expect any new music from the group for "a very long time" - because he can't face recording without his late friend. Taylor tells Kerrang! magazine, "I'll be f**king brutally honest: I don't see me making Slipknot music without Paul. He was such a f**king huge part of the music. He had such an amazing mind for it... It's very soon since it happened, and we're all still reeling from it... But at this moment, I don't see myself making new music with Slipknot for a very long time. Let's put it that way."
