Nicole Kidman Testifies, Britney Spears Loses Lawsuit, Kanye West Breaks Down, and More

Nicole Kidman showed up to court today in Sydney to give testimony that she feared a paparazzi chase would end in a car wreck two years ago. She claimed she was "really, really scared" and reduced to tears from the traumatic event. Nicole also said, "I have been pursued many times... I employ people to protect me now. I employ people 24 hours to protect myself because I don't feel equipped to handle things."

- Kanye West broke down while performing his song "Hey Mamma" at a Paris concert. Kanye's mother, Donda West, passed away last weekend due to complications with plastic surgery.

Dr. Jan Adams, the doctor that performed Donda's surgery, will appear on "Larry King Live" tomorrow to give his side of the story.
