British actor Daniel Craig arrives with his girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell at the European premiere of the film ‘Defiance’ at a cinema in London on Tuesday.

The couple received an urn with his ashes and left the island chain on Monday night, according to Obie Wilchcombe, a member of the Bahamas parliament and a family friend.

"Everything was in place, the cremation was completed, and they decided to leave," Wilchcombe told The Associated Press on Tuesday. He said the family is back in Ocala, Florida, where they have a home.

Doctors in the Bahamas performed an autopsy on Jett on Monday but did not release results. However, a Bahamas undertaker told the AP the teen's death certificate had "seizure" as the cause of death. Jett Travolta had a history of seizures and was found unconscious Friday in a bathroom. Funeral plans have not been announced.

You couldn't miss the wedding band on Craig Ferguson's ring finger when he returned to CBS' The Late Late Show from his holiday break.

Ferguson held his left hand up to the camera and announced that he'd gotten married. The 46-year-old talk-show host said he'd tied the knot with art dealer Megan Wallace Cunningham.

He suggested that he and Megan be referred to as "Cragan," like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are known as "Brangelina."

This is Ferguson's third marriage. He has a seven-year-old son Milo from his second marriage.

Ferguson jokingly told the audience that his wife won't interfere with their relationship, except "when we see each other now, it'll have to be in private."

Actor Rip Torn has pleaded not guilty to drunken driving charges in Connecticut, nearly two years after being fined and losing his licence on similar charges in New York. The 77-year-old Salisbury, Conn., resident appeared in Bantam Superior Court on Monday.

He pleaded not guilty to illegal operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence and failure to drive in the proper lane.

Police say a state trooper stopped Torn on Dec. 14 on Route 44 shortly after he left the White Hart Inn in Salisbury. The town of about 4,000 people is in the northwestern corner of the state that borders New York and Massachusetts. Police say Torn was driving in the breakdown lane in his 1994 Subaru with a Christmas tree tied to the top. He failed part of a field sobriety exam, then gave up after saying the ground wasn't level enough, state police said. He also refused to take a breathalyzer test and used profanity while in the trooper's cruiser, police said.

Torn, who won an Emmy for his role on The Larry Sanders Show, is set to return to court Jan. 28.

Lindsay Lohan says she hasn't split with DJ Samantha Ronson, despite media reports they had publicly sparred several times over the holidays.

In a brief post on her MySpace blog, the 22-year-old actress wrote: "We did NOT break up!"

Lohan asked several media outlets "AND every GOSSIP website" to get their stories straight.

The Mean Girls star also complained Monday that her friends had been emailing her to console her about the rumoured breakup with the 31-year-old Ronson. The pair had confirmed their relationship last September.

Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik, didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
