BRUCE WILLIS SETTLES FEUD WITH FORMER FRIEND

LATEST: BRUCE WILLIS has settled with a former pal he accused of trying to shake him down by going public with private family mementoes. Willis filed suit against BRUCE DiMATTIA on Tuesday (01AUG06) in Los Angeles, accusing his former pal of "wrongfully retaining possession" of private photos and videos belonging to the actor. DiMattia, who was charged with organising the private Willis archive until he was dismissed earlier this year (06), told Willis he was planning to write a book about his old pal after the movie star tried to kick him out of the home he gave him. In his suit, Willis claimed that DiMattia has "threatened to unlawfully exploit private family photographs and memorabilia" belonging to him. Willis, who was seeking damages of over $1 million (GBP555,500) and the return of private documents, photographs and video, says, "It has been settled."
