LEGAL BRIEFS Let's hope ''The Client'' star Brad Renfro has a good lawyer. For the fourth time in four years, the 19-year-old actor has been arrested, this time for public intoxication and driving without a license, after police stopped him Monday night for a traffic violation near his Knoxville, Tenn., home. The rap sheet for Renfro (who was last seen onscreen in ''Ghost World'') includes another underage drinking charge last year, a drug possession bust when he was 15, and a theft charge two years ago for attempting to steal a yacht from a Fort Lauderdale dock....
Record producer Emilio Estefan Jr., husband of Gloria Estefan, is embroiled in a legal battle with a Venezuelan actor, with each claiming unwanted attention by the other. Juan Carlos Diaz unsuccessfully sought a restraining order against Estefan and his bodyguard, claiming the producer threatened him and ''touched him in an unwanted manner'' at a gym and had been making sexual advances toward him for two years. Estefan's lawyers counter that Diaz won't leave the Estefan family alone and has been issued two trespassing warnings, one after crashing the Estefans' New Year's party. Both parties will testify on Jan. 28 in Miami, where the court will take up Diaz' restraining order request....
David Manning may be Sony Pictures' costliest employee, and he's not even real. The fake movie critic's raves for such Sony product as ''A Knight's Tale'' and ''''The Animal'' inspired a false-advertising lawsuit last summer by two Los Angeles-area moviegoers, Omar Rezec and Ann Belknap, whose lawyer now says that both sides are close to a settlement. The plaintiffs' request: $4.5 million, with half a million set aside for a full-page ad (without made-up quotes this time) in a nationwide-circulation outlet like USA Today or Parade that would announce the disbursement of the rest of the settlement to ticket buyers willing to swear under oath they were duped by Manning's endorsements. The plaintiffs' lawyer says the two sides have been negotiating for a month, but Sony has yet to give this latest proposal a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.
