Can your family sell the things you leave behind when you move out? Kobe Bryant’s mother thinks so, but the NBA superstar disagrees and now the two are locked in a high-profile, high-stakes court battle over some of his memorabilia.

According to court papers filed Thursday in U.S. District Court, Goldin Auctions of Berlin, New Jersey, struck a deal with Pamela Bryant to sell some of her son’s items from his early days with the Los Angeles Lakers as well as his high school career in Pennsylvania. he long long list includes the star's jerseys, practice gear, and sweatsuits from Lower Merion High School, Kobe's varsity letters, a trophy for outstanding player he received in 1995 at an Addidas ABCD basketball camp, a signed basketball from the 2000 NBA Championship game, as well as rings from his 1996 Pennsylvania high schoool championship game, one from the NBA All-Star game, and a pair of rings that the Lakers had made for his parents to mark the 2000 NBA championship game.

A source close the legendary player, however, told "omg! Insider" co-anchor Kevin Frazier that the real reason behind the auction is a family dispute over a second home that his mother wants to purchase. "Bryant has given his parent millions of dollars in financial assistance throughout his 17-year career. They decided to sell his high school memorabillia without his consent to purchase an additional home." According to the source, when Bryant balked at buying a larger home then initially agreed upon, his mother struck the deal to sell his memorabilia. ESPN is reporting that the 34-year-old offered his mother $250,000 towards the purchase of a home in Nevada but she refused, instead asking for $450,000.

Bryant thought the matter was on hold until he discovered that his personal items were hours away from being auctioned off. At that point his attorneys sent a cease and desist letter to the auction company, requesting that the sale be called off and the items returned to Bryant. Goldin's lawyers claim that the goods belonged to Pamela Bryant, that Kobe had no interest in them, and that all of the memorabilia was moved to a storage facility in New Jersey.

Another possible reason Pamela might be taking this battle to court with her son is because the owner of the auction house, Kenneth Goldin, has already giver her a cash advance of $450,000 as well as put money into advertising for the auction.

Nina Dobrev (Getty Images)Waking up early is never easy, but getting out of bed Friday morning was a little easier for us knowing that we'd be starting our day with Nina Dobrev.

Still, the experience was harrowing. When we arrived at the Origins store in the Flatiron District in New York City for the launch of their new GinZing Energy-boosting moisturizer, we realized just how unfair the world can be: The 24-year-old "Vampire Diaries" starlet looked ready to step on the red carpet for a primetime premiere, complete with Jimmy Choo shoes and a chic and trendy midriff-revealing ensemble by Thakoon.

Needless to say, we just had to know how she did that. Unlike Katherine and Elena on her show, she was nice enough to give us a few pointers.

Don't dilly-dally when the alarm goes off. It always helps to "wake up and start your day right away," Dobrev told omg!. "I sleep on my stomach so all the water goes into my face and I get really puffy in the mornings. I have to wake up early and let everything drain and do

The Splurge: An IMAX private theater in his Beverly Hills mansion, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (MacFarlane's publicist did not respond to a request for comment.)

How Much: Reportedly between $1 million to $2 million.

Why It's Completely Over-the-Top: IMAX Corporation currently operates nearly 700 theaters around the world that show both 2D and 3D movies using proprietary technology to create a more "immersive effect" for the audience … but of course you've actually got to sit next to strangers if you visit one of these theaters. Those who want a private version in their own homes have to be pretty serious movie buffs with lots of money to burn … and it sounds like the 39-year-old qualifies on both counts. MacFarlane has already installed a $35,000 projector to screen first-run movies that cost $500 a pop.

Hilary Duff (Rebecca Davis/NBC NewsWire)On the upcoming season finale of "Two and a Half Men," Hilary Duff guest stars as a woman trying to get the attention of Walden -- played by hottie Ashton Kutcher -- with no luck.

"I didn't do any kissing!" the wife of hockey player Mike Comrie tells omg! with a laugh. "My character was trying to real hard, though, and she kept getting declined!"

Duff, who appeared alongside Kutcher in the 2003 movie "Cheaper by the Dozen," was thrilled to get the chance to work with him again. Despite his "Punk'd" persona, she says he's actually "a really deep guy."

Aside from Kutcher, the thing Duff, 25, perhaps loved most about filming the episode, which airs May 9, is the schedule.

"I would get to go be with my son at the park and be finished by three o'clock in the afternoon," she says of the gig.

A typically serious Nicole Kidman is revealing her fun, playful side in a new commercial for Swisse Wellness vitamins, an Australian brand -- and all we can say is, wow!

In the spot, the 5'11" beauty dances around a field of flowers and shows off her super impressive high kicks in the process. And with those moves, she could certainly take up a second job as a Radio City Rockette!

The mom of four looks flawless and happy floating through the video in a white blouse, peach shorts, and brown motorcycle boots, making us love the more lighthearted Nicole. Can you believe she's 45? If her ageless looks are from those vitamins, sign us up!

Miranda Kerr (Splash News)Miranda Kerr is a certified baller!

The Australian supermodel wore an unusual getup for a photo shoot Thursday in New York City. Instead of her typical feminine couture gowns -- or barely-there slinky lingerie outfits -- the 30-year-old showed a sporty side in high-fashion … basketball gear.

The soon-to-be ex-Victoria's Secret Angel channeled her inner LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony for the shoot. The main pieces she wore were gold short shorts, which showed off her killer legs, and a red and gold top. But truly the best bits of the outfit were the red, white, and blue sweatband (worn more like a crown than to collect forehead sweat), red kneepads, and blue platform sneakers. None of it was exactly regulation wear!

While striking a pose, Kerr gamely tried her hand at a little dribbling and tossed the ball in the air … though it's not likely the NBA, which is in the middle of its playoffs, will come calling.

And that's OK because Kerr has a full schedule anyway. The wife of
