CANTON, Mass. (AP) – Bobby Brown has paid up $11,000 in delinquent child support, after being threatened with arrest if he stepped back into Massachusetts.

A family judge had issued an arrest warrant two weeks ago after Brown failed to show up at a hearing over two months’ worth of payments he owed to Kim Ward, of Stoughton, the mother of his two teenage children.

Brown’s attorney said then he was having a “very difficult” time as his tumultuous marriage to singer Whitney Houston was coming to an end with her filing for legal separation.

Patrick McDermott, the registrar of probate for the Norfolk Probate and Family Court, said Tuesday both sides have assured him Brown has since made his payments, though no paperwork had been filed with the court.

“I have at least been given the word that Kim Ward is satisfied that payment has been made and she’s good to go, for now,” he said.

Brown, a Boston native, has a history of legal troubles with those support payments.

In June 2004, Brown was sentenced to 90 days in prison for missing three months of payments. That sentence was immediately suspended after Brown made back payments totaling about $15,000.

Brown’s attorney, Phaedra Parks, did not immediately return a call for comment Tuesday.

McDermott said the arrest warrant would technically remain in effect until the judge holds another status hearing, which had not yet been scheduled. But he said there was no real risk Brown would be arrested.

“Provided he’s paid up there’s no reason to haul him in here,” he said.

Brown gained fame as a member of New Edition, and in 1988 had a hit solo album, “Don’t Be Cruel.”

DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) – Bono testified once again Tuesday that an ex-stylist for U2 stole and tried to sell band memorabilia, including his iconic Stetson cowboy hat from the cover of the “Rattle and Hum” album.

Bono was testifying at the start of an Irish High Court appeal over the band’s 2002 lawsuit against fashion consultant Lola Cashman, who insists she received a range of gifts while advising U2 during the group’s “Joshua Tree” world tour in 1987-88.

Bono, dressed in a chocolate brown suit, took off his rose-tinted sunglasses in the dock Tuesday as he explained his sense of betrayal over Cashman, whom he described as an eccentric pain in the neck. Bono said he had picked the Stetson, not Cashman.

“It’s our stuff, she has it, and a lot more beside. We want out stuff back. We want her to stop selling it,” he said.

A lower Irish District Court ruling last year rejected Cashman’s defense and ordered her to return all the items to the band, whose net fortune is estimated in excess of $800 million. The items in dispute include hoop earrings, pants and a sweater worn by Bono and nearly 200 backstage photographs taken by Cashman.

U2 sued Cashman after she tried to sell the clothes and photos at a London auction house in 2002. She further angered the band with her 2004 book, “Inside the Zoo With U2: My Life With the World’s Biggest Rock Band.”

During her 2005 testimony, Cashman claimed that Bono had handed over the Stetson and other items while dancing backstage in his underwear following a concert in Phoenix.

NEW YORK (AP) – Lindsay Lohan has a 10-year plan.

“I want to get married before I’m 30,” the 20-year-old actress says in In Style magazine’s November issue, on newsstands Oct. 20. “And have my house. And make the kind of record I want. And I’d like to win an Oscar before then.”

Sounds like the world-famous party girl is getting serious. In July, Lohan was publicly scolded by a studio executive for her absences on the set of the upcoming movie, “Georgia Rule.” She missed work, she says, because she went out for a friend’s birthday after a day of filming in intense heat.

“I tried to please my friend and I ended up getting sick,” she tells the magazine. “It’s about learning to say no more than yes. I’m a people-pleaser. But you can’t always make everyone happy.”

Yes, Lohan’s made some oh-no-she-didn’t choices – she’s only 20, after all – but what was her favorite mistake?

“Falling in love for the first time and abusing the relationship,” she says. “I was growing. It’s the best thing that ever happened, but I wasn’t ready. I moved too fast.”
